'They've not been in the country for five minutes and already they've caused a row with the King, and a row with Uganda.'
Journalist Carole Malone says Prince Harry and Meghan Markle need to 'tread carefully' as the Sussexes claim King Charles'guidance on the Sussexes being 'private citizens' led Uganda to quit the Invictus Games.
Prince William is launching a new toolkit for sports clubs to help identify suicide warning signs and encourage direct conversations to save lives. Simultaneously, a royal dispute has emerged as Prince Harry blames King Charles for Uganda's withdrawal from the Invictus Games, following a royal letter clarifying Harry and Meghan's status as private citizens.
Prince of Wales is encouraging every sports club in the country to do more to prevent
suicide as a fresh royal row erupts over Prince Harry and the Invictus Games.
So William is launching a first-of-its-kind toolkit to help people spot warning signs,
start conversations and connect individuals with support before a crisis occurs.
Meanwhile, Harry is blaming the King's private citizens letter after Uganda pulled
out the Prince Invictus Games. It's always somebody else's fault, Harry, isn't it?
Always somebody else's fault. Can I carry on? You can.
I have to say, it would not take part without Charles's approval.
Let's talk to GP News royal correspondent Cameron Walker,
who's in Liverpool for this Prince of Wales initiative. This is an unusual initiative,
Cameron, because normally people are told not to talk about suicide.
Well, yes, Andrew, and that is actually the Prince's key message,
because research from Samaritans, the King's College London and the NHS has all shown that
the kind of claim that talking about suicide actually encourages more people to take their
own lives is actually a bit of a myth, and it's far more useful to actually ask the question
head on. Now, Prince William is here in Liverpool today, as you were saying, convening a load of
sports stars to try and get behind his mission to try and use this new toolkit, which has been
developed from his charity, which will be put on the Hub of Hope website. And it's basically
a load of tools for sporting organisations from big stadiums like Everton's behind me,
all the way to the grassroots organisations up and down the country, or parents handing out
oranges at halftime, not just football, of course, boxing, swimming, whatever sporting
community you are a part of. It's all about breaking down that stigma and suicide prevention
on World Suicide Prevention Day. So I actually spoke to Jake Mills, who himself tried to take
he was unsuccessful in that attempt. And from that, he launched this new charity called Chasing
the Stigma. And that charity has worked with the Prince of Wales over the last few months
to develop this new online toolkit. And this is what he told me about that sometimes
uncomfortable question. The evidence shows us that being direct and saying the word suicide
and asking somebody directly, are they suicidal, is much more likely to save a life than it is
to cost a life. And so what we're trying to do is to say to people, you almost do have permission
to use this language to say this, knowing that it's safe to know that's not going to put the
idea in somebody's head, that you're not going to make somebody suicidal by saying it. Thank you,
Cameron. But what about Harry and his claim that the Ugandans have pulled out of the Invictus
game as a result of the letter that his father wrote, a general open letter to the media to
warn people not to use the HRH titles? I mean, it's insane, isn't it, Miriam? That's all I can
say to that. Yes, this is the president's son who happens to also be the military chief. He tweeted
yesterday saying that Uganda has pulled out of Prince Harry's Invictus games, bearing in mind
the country only joined two months ago because the country's defence minister was stood on stage
with Prince Harry in London, denouncing the fact that they were joining. Now, he spoke to The Times,
this military chief, and has also spoken to another broadcaster as well, and it appears that
the so-called, and I quote, Harry and Meghan nonsense has been a part of that. Now, we know
that the king is championing anything, really, that supports veterans and wounded personnel.
Nonetheless, this letter which he sent, well, the Lord Chamberlain sent, but obviously with the
two different senior officials in the United Kingdom, clearly has caused a little bit of
confusion. But also, it's this age-old point, isn't it? Harry and Meghan, since 2020, have been
non-working royals. Nothing has changed. Nonetheless, very uncomfortable for the Invictus
games, which arguably is actually one of Harry's biggest achievements. But again, it's overshadowed
by the royal drama that just he can't seem to get away from. And then this briefing and
counter-briefing just keeps happening. Meanwhile, of course, Prince William, staying completely out
of this briefing and counter-briefing, doesn't speak to his brother, doesn't authorise his staff
to brief against his brother or brief at all about Prince Harry, focused instead on supporting the
sporting community and suicide prevention. You've worked hard for your money, so why does it feel
like your pounds are constantly losing value? Your savings should grow and be safe. It's common
sense, isn't it? But here's the truth. Policy impacts inflation, which silently erodes your
purchasing power. Don't let inflation decide what your money is worth. And when your money is with
your bank, the bank uses it for their purposes. They lend it. They profit from it. Your money
works hard for your bank, when it should be working hard for you. This is why people are seeking
alternatives to traditional bank savings accounts. With a tally money account, your pounds are
automatically converted into real physical gold held securely in your name. Not a promise,
not just a number on a computer screen, real gold in a vault. And the clever bit? You still have
instant access for transfers and payments. Through the Tally Money app and Tally Debit Mastercard,
you can transfer funds or spend it in any currency. Gold has been trusted for thousands of years. Now,

What's the time? It's 10.28. We've got the panel with us, Camerlone. And before we talk about
Burnham attacks, what do you make of Harry whinging and wailing that Invictus Games is all because of
the King's letter? The whole story kind of amuses me, because this is the President's son who has
come out and said that they're pulling out of the Games, and he's behind the King and he loves the
King. But there's never been any suggestion that the King opposes the Invictus Games,
so I don't get it. For Harry and Meghan, they've not been in the country for five minutes,
and already they've caused a row with the King, they've caused a row in Uganda.
The statement said nothing that hadn't been said before. All it did was reiterate the
Sandringer agreement from 2020 and said that things were staying exactly the same. So for
Harry and Meghan now to blame this on the King is ridiculous. They need to tread very carefully
here. They've come to this country to capitalise on, to reinstate their royal status, if you like,
and already they're in a fight with the royal family. You know, William must be hopping mad
with rage over this, because this is what he'll award his father about Harry and Meghan coming
back. And they haven't been here for weeks yet, and already they've had two rooks now. One was
and one was the King. I agree with most of that.
Quite clearly that the King's got nothing to do with the Invictus Games, and as Carol just said,
no, he's never opposed it. So I'm not quite sure why Uganda thinks they need the King's permission
to send people here. When it comes to the King's letter, again, as Carol said, it's restating the
position from the Sandringham Agreement of 2020. It doesn't change any of that. It was important
now they're back in the country to actually say to the Lord of Tenants, 98 of them who represent
the royal family in the counties, this is what the position is. Don't spend public money if they
turn up. They're private citizens. So it made the point all the way through, and it seems to me that
the anger about it is mostly from Harry not getting enough prior notice. So they only learnt
about the letter 67 minutes before it was published. You detect maybe there was a bit of
revenge from Buckingham Palace here, but the King didn't know they were coming back for four days.
That is the whole point, and Harry and Meghan's people said they should have had notice
because they wanted to make a few tweaks and to clarify a few points. The King can say what he
wants. He doesn't have to have permission from those two to tweak his statements. I mean, this
just shows the arrogance and the entitlement of them. Also, I thought they wanted to be private
people. Well, that's exactly what they said. That was their point about clearing off to America. All
the King did was repeat what they said, but you know, the fact is they're back here to monetise
being back here. So the fact that they're called private citizens will maybe not help that. They
want to be called public figures, but they're not public figures. This country's over them now.
We're not interested anymore, but the idea... Well, unfortunately, I mean, that's what a lot of
viewers at home maybe think. We're not interested in them, but the papers really are interested in
them, aren't they, Nigel? I mean, Harry and Meghan sell papers. They do. I mean, the royals always have
that, you know, when in doubt, put a royal on the front page and then your circulation goes up.
And I think, actually, people are interested. People care about what the royal family is doing.
Yes, but not Harry and Meghan. Well, and Harry and Meghan. I think that... Do they? It doesn't
mean they're on their side. No, I think they are. I think polls would say most people think they
should have stayed in America. Well, they won't be, but they're interested in what they get up to,
and that's why I think that we end up constantly talking about it. Well, it's an interest that's
born out of dislike and disdain. It's not because we think they're fabulous, but, you know, and we
knew, you know, I would stake my house on the fact that the minute they came here, they would cause
a problem, and they already have. And the King will be thinking, you know, is this just a start?
And the King made that statement, I'm pretty sure, because he would have got wind of what they were
planning to do when they were here, so that's why he wanted to get out there, get that out there and
clarify. There is some suggestion that they thought half in, half out was their trip to Australia,
where they just got a child to work, but then Madame was off flogging her clothes brand on the
same trip. People from inside the camp were boasting that Harry and Meghan had got the half
in, half out agreement they'd always wanted, which is precisely why the King has put the statement
out. Tell the world that they haven't. Carol, Nigel, that's it for now, but we'll have you
back in an hour to discuss more of today's news.
