Prince Harry's Whole Hoax from Megxit Agony to Reflections on Trump and Boris Johnson

Prince Harry openly discussed Megxit, life in the royal family, and Donald Trump in a phone hoax when two Russian men tricked him into thinking they were Greta Thunberg and his father.

It was an embarrassing blow to the 35-year-old Duke of Sussex, who, along with his wife Meghan Markle and grandson Archie, will officially step down as royal at the end of March.

In an astonishing recording, Harry spoke to the false Greta of his uncle, Prince Andrew, of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, of his frequent thefts, of his conviction that the world is run by very sick people and of his battle with the media .

He was deceived by the famous Russian pranksters Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexey Stolyarov, who allegedly called Harry on New Years Eve and January 22 while the Sussexes stayed in Canada.

Kuznetsov and Stolyarov published the recording on social media, providing more embarrassing titles for a royal family in crisis.

They pretended to be the Swedish activist Greta, 17, and her father Svante, the Sun reported.

Previous victims of the hoaxes include music legend Elton John and the US Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.

The calls involving Harry appeared after he and Meghan attended their last royal engagement – the Commonwealth Monday service at Westminster Abbey in central London.

Here are some highlights of the calls.

Harry leaves royal life

The Duke opened up to the false Greta on his reasons for leaving senior royal life, saying that he was retiring to "protect my son".

He said to the Russians: it's probably a conversation for another time, there are a lot of layers and a lot of puzzle pieces.

But sometimes the right decision is not always the easiest.

And that decision was certainly not an easy one to make, but it was the right decision for our family, the right decision to be able to protect my son.

And I think there are a lot of people in the world who can identify and respect us to put our family first.

But, yes, it's tricky, but we're going to start a new life.

He also joked: I can assure you, marrying a prince or a princess isn't all that it takes to be.

"No one has robbed us of our titles"

The fake Greta and Svante pushed Harry over reports that he and Meghan, 38, had been "stripped" of their royal titles.

Harry replied: No. Again, you must not believe what you read, no one has robbed us of our titles.

Due to a technicality within the family, if we earn money separately from the family structure, we were obviously asked not to use our titles to earn money, which we would never do.

But the press managed to jump on it to give the impression that we had been stripped.

Harry on Donald Trump

Harry was also in a hurry for his opinion on Donald Trump.

On a call, he said, "I think the mere fact that Donald Trump is pushing the coal industry is so important in America that he has blood on his hands."

“ Greta & amp; # 39; Told the Duke that the U.S. President fled from her, referring to the time when Trump had refused to be photographed with the real activist.

Harry said to “Greta”: What a surprise. "

He told "the teenager" that she would "outwit" Trump in a conversation about climate change, but she should always meet him when the opportunity arises.

Harry, who met Trump at an event in London after the president called Meghan "villain," said: Whether you have an option to meet President Trump or an option to meet Boris Johnson, I think I always will. "

Harry on Prince Andrew

In one of the calls, the discussion focused on Prince Andrew's friendship with the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Harry said: I have very little to say about this.

But everything he did or didn't do is completely separate from me and my wife.

"We operate in an inclusive manner and we focus on the community.

"And so we are completely separated from the majority of my family.

Harry seems to have a more favorable opinion of Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

He said to the fake daughter and father: I think he is a good man, so you are one of the few people who can reach his soul and make him feel and believe in you.

But you have to understand that because he's been there for so long like all these other people, they are already determined.

They believe what they want to believe, they believe what they have been told.

What you tell them now is not only annoying, it is totally contrary to everything they believed.

So this is what you are facing in the face of changing habits, as you know.

The “broken” British political system

Harry also weighed in on the election last December, which gave the Prime Minister an overwhelming majority.

He said: The fact that our choice was between these two individuals in my mind, I think, probably creates more observation than the system itself could be broken.

"There are many things that leaders today can learn and listen to from people like you."

Harry on his future in privacy

The Duke of Sussex also opened his future and his plans for his own projects.

He said that he and Meghan decided not to create their own foundation because "we don't think the world necessarily needs another foundation from us".

With "a lot of money spent in the world", Harry said they were taking some time to consider creating an organization to "bring people together".

Harry on Greta

Prince Harry sprang from Greta's real work in one of the phone calls and said "extreme" action was needed to tackle climate change.

He said to the false Greta: I have spent many, many years being criticized by the media for doing all kinds of things and trying to change our way of thinking, and I can sympathize but at the same time applaud the work that you all do because it is not an easy time and the world is a troubled place and can be very easy to give up and i think what you are doing is absolutely remarkable.

Unfortunately, the world is run by very sick people, so it is people like you and the younger generation who will make all the difference.

Normal life "better than royal life"

The false Svante asked if normal life was worse than royal life.

You forget, I have been in the military for ten years, so I am more normal than my family would like to believe.

But being in a different position certainly gives us the ability to say and do things that we might not have been able to do.

And since everyone under the age of 35 or 36 seems to be playing an activist role, gives us the opportunity to try to make a difference without being criticized (laughs).

Harry laughs, answering: Oh no, I think it's much better. "

Harry criticized for his private jet flights

The Duke has rejected criticism of his use of private jets.

He said: "Unfortunately, there are very few alternatives. We have to fly on commercial aircraft all over the world.

"Nowhere as much as most people who do it for a night or a weekend.

"Certainly for my family, to protect my family, from these people, as you can well understand."

Harry in the media

Harry told the false Greta to "see through fear" when it comes to the media.

He said: "For the most part, my whole life, I have always been part of a family and a country that is afraid of the sensational media because they have so much power and 39; influence and not morality (laughs).

"From the moment I found a woman who was strong enough to stand up for what we believe in together, it frightened them so much that they are now incredibly angry, they went out to fight, and all they are going to try to do now is try to destroy our reputation and try and, you know, sink us.

"But what they don't understand is that the battle we are waging against them is much more than us."

He added: "Even if they want to make it personal, they are afraid because we are among the first two people willing to resist their bullying and to my wife we ​​cannot step back.

"It was not very pleasant. It was horrible but we will get stronger people out of it."
