Prince Harry has been duped twice by a phone call by two Russians known for their courtly pranks against celebrities, as the Duke of Sussex believed he was speaking to climate activist, Greta Tonberg and her father. Analysts in the two conversations described him as "very foolish", and said it was "unwise" to speak openly on the phone with people whose identity has not been confirmed. And he opened his heart during the deceptive conversation about what he called "Megist" in reference to the exodus of his wife, Megan Markle, from the royal palace, and similar to "Brexit", that is, Britain's exit from the European Union. His comment during the conversation that "there is blood at the hands of the American President, Donald Trump," referring to his departure from the climate agreement, and his answer to a question about his decision to withdraw from royal life, justifying this to his spokesman as "to protect my son."
The pranksters pretended to be Swedish, Greta Tombberg, 17, and her father, Svante, in two calls, the first of them on New Year's Eve, and the second on January 22, during his stay with Megan on Vancouver Island.
tricked
Royal commentator and former editor of the World Leagues "Ho S" Ho, Richard Fitzwilliams, said that Harry was in a "period of weakness" and that he had been deceived because of his "open nature". He adds: "It is not wise to speak frankly about sensitive issues, as he was duped not once, but twice." He says: "His crew was supposed to confirm the person who called him and ask his interlocutor many questions." He continues: "The invitation addressed To Harry from Greta's alleged father indicates the power of the skill of these skillful pranksters, who have deceived many celebrities before. ”
Fitzwilliams says that issuing these tapes at this particular time may be an appropriate time to cause "the ultimate embarrassment" for the royal family, and that his views on Trump are not "a surprise." He added, "We know that Harry likes Greta Tumberg, as he praised her at the Royal Albert Hall at the Onside Awards in November 2019, although I don't think they met." He notes that "this trick will make him look very foolish." The two phone conversations, Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexei Stolyarov, known as Vovan and Lexus, were conducted on New Year's Eve and January 22 last. They deceived Harry, who he thought was speaking to the climate activist and her father. The two fraudsters told Harry that the world is being led by “some patients”, and that “the fossil fuel industry and some presidents around the world are leading the world by following the wrong agenda.” And they talked to him about Trump, who is pushing the coal industry too big in America, and that there is blood on his hands. Harry said in the recording that he is "confident" that in the next five to ten years things will change in relation to the climate agenda. "But we cannot wait five or ten years, so I think if Trump becomes president of America again, then anything will be possible for him, right?"
ridicule
During the call, the fraudsters were mocking the royal family, and in response to a question about the friendship of his uncle, the Duke of York, Prince Andrew, to the accused of violating the symptoms of children, Jeffrey Epstein, Harry said: "I do not have much to say about that." "But everything he did or did not do, is completely separate from me and my wife." We respect privacy and work for the good of society, so we are completely separate from most of my family. ” The pranks also told the prince that the alleged Greta wanted to marry Prince George one day, and that she was affiliated from afar to the Swedish royal family. Harry repeats, laughing: "Wow, so we are relatives." The conversation became more ridiculous when the fake Greta said: "Yes, that's right, because it will help me in my efforts on climate change. Should I arrange a family marriage, do you think so?" I think it will help me do that. ” "I am sure he will help you," the prince replied. Then Greta says with a laugh: "I found two suitable candidates for marriage, James Windsor and Prince George, and I think their age is very suitable for marrying me." Harry replied with a laugh: "I'm sure I can help." The alleged Greta says this despite the fact that Prince George, the son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge is six years old, and James Windsor, the only son of Prince Edward is 12 years old.
