Patrick Christys slams Harry and Meghan as he reveals the timing of their UK return could mean they avoid paying tax on certain gains whilst living overseas.
When the Duke and Duchess of Sussex returned to Britain last month, they spent some time in King Charles's private home in Gloucestershire, and Prince Harry also attended the one-year-to-go countdown events for the Invictus Games in Birmingham.
They also visited Earl Charles Spencer's home at Althorp in Northamptonshire, where the late Princess Diana is buried. Before moving to California, Meghan and Harry lived in Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, where Prince Archie spent the first five months of his life.
Now I usually do a monologue on unwanted immigration here to Britain, and today is no different.
I am sick and tired of people who hate our country and our way of life coming to Britain.
On that note, Harry and Meghan are moving back to the UK. Yes, Harry and Meghan have
found a house, they've enrolled their kids in school, and they're coming back to Blighty.
This is absolutely farcical. It was only six years ago that they did this.
It's 6am on the 14th of March, and we are on the Freedom Flight.
We are leaving Canada, and we are headed to Los Angeles.
Grandma's here, and Grandma Bruna's here, with her ball in her mouth.
Why don't you say hi? You're about to go where mommy's not.
I'm so busy with the current situation, thanks to another amazing friend who we've never
met, but who believes in us and wants to help.
Unbelievable, isn't it? Their Freedom Flight, like refugees, like they've just got the last
chopper out of Saigon. They had to flee our terrible nation. Hilarious though, isn't it,
that Harry actually, total lack of self-awareness of course, admits to never meeting that so-called
friend that he spoke about, just like George Clooney and his wife, who revealed that they
had never met either Harry or Meghan when they attended their wedding. In fact, they
were quite surprised they got an invite. And what's happened over the course of the last
six years? Well, in Omid Scobie's book, End Game, he wrote that Meghan never ever wants
to set foot in England again. They cried into Oprah Winfrey's bosom while Prince Philip
was severely ill and accused the royal family of racism.
There are several conversations about it.
There's a conversation with you?
With Harry.
About how dark your baby is going to be?
Potentially and what that would mean or look like.
Harry said that the royal family has unconscious biases about race and he lent into criticisms
about Britain's slave trading past. They didn't name who they were talking about there so
that meant that everyone was under fire. Everyone. Who was the royal racist? Who was it? Including
Prince William.
Have you spoken to your brother since the interview?
I haven't spoken to him yet but I will do.
And can you just let me know, is the royal family a racist family, sir?
We're very much not a racist family.
In his book, End Game, and in the versions published in the Netherlands, Omid Scobie
then claimed that actually Princess Catherine and the then Prince Charles, now our king,
were the ones who were essentially being called racist.
The royals who are named in this book are King Charles and Catherine, Princess of Wales.
Well, it was around this time that Princess Catherine found out that she had cancer.
So can you imagine how awful all of that must have been for her?
Prince Harry's book, Spare, accused Prince William of physically assaulting him,
pushing him to the ground, causing Harry to smash a dog bowl and hurt his little back.
He also seemed to blame William and Kate for the fact that he wore a Nazi uniform to a party.
You know, apparently they laughed out loud. They found it hilarious. Right, okay. It's not really
their fault though, is it, Harry, that you're so thick you didn't realise it might have been a bad
idea. Harry also said that he begged King Charles not to marry Camilla, accused her of leaking
private conversations, said that he thought she was a bit of a villain, and that he was
sacrificed just to make her look better. We were treated to a non-stop whinge-a-thon from Harry.
I had three conversations with my grandmother and two conversations with my father
before he stopped taking my calls.
Why did he stop taking your calls?
Because I took matters, and by that point I took matters into my own hands.
Oh, he cut you off. Oh.
Meghan mocked having to curtsy for our late queen.
Curtsied as though I was like, pleasure to meet you, your majesty.
You could just tell the look on Harry's face there. He's clinging on, isn't he?
Do you not remember how awful they said it was for them in the UK being part of the royal family?
Meghan did literally say that she was, at one point, on the brink of suicide.
Kate made her cry in the run-up to the wedding,
and that the whole British step-up-her-lip thing was incredibly damaging.
I would say, look, any woman, especially when they're pregnant, you're really vulnerable.
So that was made really challenging. And then when you have a newborn,
you know, you add this on top of just trying to be a new mom or trying to be a newlywed.
Yeah, well, I guess, and also thank you for asking, because not many people have asked if I'm okay.
Harry accused William and King Charles of being trapped by the royal family.
My father and my brother, they are trapped.
They don't get to leave, and I have huge compassion for that.
Yeah, I mean, how damaging is that to the institution?
And also, that's not for him to say, is it?
You know, what, that our king now and future king, his brother,
what, feel trapped, that they don't really want to be royals.
That's pretty damaging to the institution and potentially to Britain as well, isn't it?
He said that he didn't think there was any real chance of reconciliation
until, basically, William and Charles actually apologised to him.
I want reconciliation, but first there needs to be some accountability.
You can't just continue to say to me that I'm delusional and paranoid
when all the evidence is stacked up,
because I was genuinely terrified about what's going to happen to me.
And then we have a 12-month transition period, and everyone doubles down.
My wife shares her experience, and instead of backing off,
both the institution and the tabloid media in the UK both double down.
Yeah, well, we had the whole privacy issue, didn't we?
They were so desperate for privacy that they were just going to do
several different Netflix shows, a podcast, a cookery show,
go to loads of red carpet events.
I mean, make no mistake.
What happened here is that in the last six years,
they've turned into an international laughingstock.
It has been several months now since our beloved queen has died.
Our Canadians are finding it hard to go on.
All Canadians, that is, except for our first guest, the prince and his wife.
We want privacy!
Thanks for having us on the show.
It's so awesome to be here.
It's great.
So let me start with you, Sam.
You've lived a life with the royal family.
You've had everything handed to you.
But you say your life has been hard,
and now you've written all about it in your new book, When.
There you go.
Harry has just lost a whopping great big court case against the press,
and he could be on the hook for tens of millions of pounds in legal bills.
It's remarkable that Meghan wants to send the kids to school in Britain,
given that she not only hates the country so much,
but also she's on record saying that she would never do that
because there'd be too much press at the school gates.
Prince Harry said it would be impossible for his family to come back.
So, yeah, for the time being,
it's impossible for me to take my family back to the UK safely.
So we're all thinking, OK, well, maybe something's changed then.
Maybe they've got the security.
Well, Andy Burnham has today confirmed that there will not be
the taxpayer-funded security that Harry and Meghan seems to want.
So why could they be coming back to Britain, I wonder?
It just seems so inconceivable.
Oh, yeah, they've just spent six full tax years overseas,
which means that they will potentially avoid paying UK tax
on certain gains that they made whilst they were abroad.
Oh, would you just look at that?
Right, now it starts to make sense, doesn't it?
Do Harry and Meghan have no shame?
They've spent the last six years making a huge song and dance
about how awful the royal family is, how awful Britain is,
slamming on national history, slamming the press,
saying how happy they are in America, and that's important.
They are happy in America.
They found freedom, didn't they?
They absolutely loved it.
And then they come crawling back to presumably a massive house
in the quintessentially British countryside,
where it's all cucumber sandwiches and polo ponies,
so that they can give their kids a proper British education.
It's all rather embarrassing, isn't it?

Let's get our thoughts to my panel.
Tory Peer, Lord Bailey, former Labour advisor Matthew Lazar,
and journalist and broadcaster Linda Jubilee.
Right, okay.
Sean, do you think they're just moving back for tax purposes?
I don't think they're moving back just for tax purposes,
but I bet you the thought crossed their mind.
You know, they sat down a financial advisor,
and he said, you're about to avoid a huge tax bill.
And off they went.
But won't Megan have to pay tax in America as a citizen of board?
I understand as an American citizen,
if you're a board, you're going to have to pay tax.
One way or the other, the tax man gets you.
Just be clear about that.
I think the real reason is,
is because there haven't been a massive hit in America.
And they played it incorrectly.
And this is where the royals are based.
And ironically, to be in the States as a royal,
you have to be a royal here first.
And to cut yourself off meant that Netflix
were going to run out of patience.
The Americans were going to get bored.
I mean, the clip you showed of South Park abusing them,
once you're at that level, there's probably no coming back.
Family Guy did them as well.
I mean, they were all over it.
So we've gone from, we can't possibly come back safely.
It's impossible.
I would never want to pick my kids up
from the school gates in Britain, to we are coming back.
We only told the King about it on Sunday.
William only found out about it recently.
And Andy Burnham saying that there's actually
no taxpayer funded security.
So what's gone on?
And that's extraordinary to think that they only told the King
a matter of days ago that they're coming back.
I mean, I've had to move countries
to the other side of the world with a young child.
And it takes a lot of planning, an awful lot of planning.
I wouldn't dream of telling a close family member
four days out what was exactly was going to happen.
But they're not close family members, are they?
No, indeed, there is that.
But closer than four days, you know, that is ridiculous.
But also when you listen to Harry, Prince Harry saying,
you know, all the evidence is there.
There is no evidence there.
That was what the court decided.
The court decided that none of his claims stood up
because there was no evidence.
And that's what worries me about him,
is he's almost or probably delusional.
I mean, it's it's almost narcissistic in a way
that he is always either the hero of the peace
or the victim of the peace, but it is always about him.
And what he should remember is right now,
this country is in very, very difficult straits.
We all need to pull together to turn a corner right now.
We don't need to be dealing with this.
I know. Is it possible for us to maybe just revisit
that clip of them on the Freedom Flight?
We'll play a shorter version of it there.
But that was about roughly about six years ago.
And they're on this plane.
And he's done what looks a little bit like,
you know, someone who is literally fleeing a war zone
with their family.
I think we can play it. Here you go.
It's six a.m. on the 14th of March
and we are on the Freedom Flight.
We are leaving Canada and we are headed to Los Angeles.
Grandma's here.
Bruno's here.
Well, now they're coming back.
Yeah, I mean, that was regrettable to say the least.
Not only was it a Freedom Flight,
it wasn't even a Freedom Flight from Britain.
It was from Canada, which had rather graciously put them up
and which is, of course, a Commonwealth country.
So I think that they have a real opportunity now,
which is they need to answer the pointlessness problem,
the pointlessness question.
I can't even say the word.
Which is, you know, what are they going to do here?
What are they for?
Now, they promised they're going to live a quiet private life
and we look forward to that.
What are they going to earn, though?
Because a quiet private life probably doesn't involve
having a Netflix camera crew in your garden
while you set out your chunks of fruit
in colour-coordinated order.
So I think that they have to take a long, hard look
at what they're going to do.
I think the British people are fair.
I think that's what we are, you know,
we're a fair-minded country.
And I think that, you know,
despite the regrettable things in the past,
I think people will give them a fair crack of the whip.
But they need to make a choice.
The misery that they caused, I mean,
allowing, for a period of time,
allowing any member of the royal family
to potentially be the royal racist was shocking,
especially in light of the various different health issues
that were going on at the time.
But I think the problem is the Queen, the now King and Kate.
I think the royal family will be graceful
and just, if they seize the opportunity,
but it's now on Harry and Meghan to seize the opportunity
if both the British people and the royal family
are graceful in their...
I was going to say the opposite.
I think the public are more likely to forgive them
before the institution.
And let's be clear, there's the institution
who may publicly forgive them
because they performed some function.
I truly do believe that Prince William in particular,
because of the things he said in the past,
is going to have a real problem with Republicans.
He seems to be going for the European model
of a sort of reduced monarchy.
If you do that in this country, monarchy's done.
We're not European in that sense, it will be done.
And he's going to have to fight that.
And his brother, if they can mend themselves publicly,
may be useful in combating that.
So I think the public will forgive first
because we're busy, we're trying to make ends meet.
If you read the book Spare,
it's really obvious that their relationship
is unravelling from much earlier
than the public actually spotted it.
There were all sorts of fundamentally important cracks
in between those brothers, very, very early on.
And they happened when they were at school,
when they were eating.
Really young.
He's not come here to make William's life easier, has he?
Because now we've got various different things.
There's the Diana Awards coming up.
I think it's actually next year, isn't it?
The 30th anniversary of her death.
So there's obviously going to be a big run up to that as well.
Just by virtue of being here,
every single time there's any kind of royal story,
Earl Spencer's book coming out.
Comes out next month.
Comes out next month, all of that.
Harry and Meghan are now in the country
and presumably available for comment.
And this is a big, big, big issue.
Imagine I was advising them.
The first thing I'd say is shut up.
Just go to the Cotswolds and enjoy the Cotswolds.
What a wonderful place.
And I would say to William,
you need to mend it with your brother or eradicate him.
You cannot leave him as a sore on the royal family.
He's either in or he's out.
But if he's out, you need to give a life ending kicking
so that he can't come back and destroy the royal family.
It's your job as the king, the future king,
to defend the royal family.
And if you don't do that, the royal family's gone
because he will be an absolute,
he'll be the gift that keeps giving
if you want to go after him.
I think William and Kate have behaved
in an exemplary fashion.
They are people we can be truly proud of.
And I'm not saying that I can't understand
what has gone on with him and his brother,
but he does need to forgive his brother
and he does need to move on from it.
Are we going to end up being served
an absolute mortar share about privacy?
I mean, they are amongst the most famous people in the world.
They've actively courted fame since finding freedom.
They have done absolutely everything they possibly can
to become even more famous around the world.
Then they've returned to Britain,
which is obviously where he's from,
so that presumably they can put the kids in school.
I mean, by the way, I do find that incredibly hypocritical.
You know, slugging off Britain on the world stage,
all of this unconscious bias stuff,
all of that, oh, the history of the slave trade,
oh, the Commonwealth is just the empire 2.0.
Right, OK, our kids are now of a certain age
where they're going to need a proper education.
What should we do?
Oh, let's go to a really posh part of rural Britain,
nice little chocolate box style village
where it's all cucumber sandwiches and polo ponies
and all of that stuff.
And we'll shove our kids in a good posh British school
that's probably going to cost somewhere
in the region of £60,000 a year.
And I think it's a little bit hypocritical to say,
you know, originally,
we're not going to bring our children back here
because they'd be put upon by the paparazzi.
That has never happened to William and Kate's family.
We have rules about that kind of thing.
But they show they're inexperienced by saying
all of these definitive statements
attacking a country,
there's 70 million people in this country.
We have more stamina than the two of you
and you're going to have to do the work to repair that now.
Because if they don't,
the other X factor I would add is the British press.
If they think they've had a bad time already,
now that that case has been lost,
if they don't perform some kind of function for the country,
they could have a rough time.
Well, they can live an entirely private life,
but an entirely private life
doesn't mean turning up at red carpet events
on a daily or weekly basis.
And it doesn't mean providing a running commentary
either directly through social media or interviews
or by your communication.
You could do that, but will they do that?
You could be down,
you could join the village cricket team,
you could run some kind of voluntary group.
Kate could join the WI.
There's loads of things they could quietly do,
but I guarantee you they won't.
Well, I was going to say that.
Look, he's got the Invictus Games,
which would immediately pump him up
into the public consciousness.
And that should actually, that should.
It should, there are.
So this is why he's such a fascinating character,
because there are so many obviously good things about Harry.
And then there's all of this other stuff as well.
And I think that's one of the reasons
why people dislike Meghan so much,
because a lot of that negative stuff
very much coincided with him being with her.
And that is an issue.
