Perhaps he was afraid that those people who were really in charge (as opposed to the Queen) and controlled her wouldn't be understanding.Yes' you'd think that harry might gently point out to the queen that his eldest son would be known as the Earl of whereever, and that Dumbarton was a name that could be made into a joke...
That's another detail of the interview that didn't get nearly enough attention. I would have been mortified to announce on TV that my (currently 88 year old) grandmother is a puppet in someone else's hands and basically lost a big chunk of her faculties. And my grandmother isn't a monarch. It's such a breach of loyalty that I can't even.
Funny how The Queen was totally in charge of the situation when she talked to him all the year after her handlers stopped her from meeting Harry. When he needed to fall back on her authority, it was all there. When she didn't want to see him, it was because she has lost her grip and other (evil) people had a grasp of her.
Frankly, at this stage I wondered why he wouldn't announce a holy crusade to free her. He settled for condescending on his father and brother instead.
Well, no. I'm not wondering. At the moment, if he stands against The Queen who enjoys universal respect, he's doomed to lose. And he enhances his royalty through flashing his closeness with her and Prince Philip.
