Who are Anderson Cooper and Tom Bradby? The Essential Guide to Prince Harry Interviews

[ad_1]

Cooper won an Emmy Award for his coverage of Princess Diana’s funeral, and is perhaps America’s preeminent left-leaning broadcast journalist. Among the great American beasts, he has a reputation for being a sensitive presenter, not afraid to include his own feelings in his reporting, while his experience of grief and loss mirrors that of Harry. To spice things up, Cooper’s great-aunt, Thelma Furness, had an affair with the future Edward VIII in the 1920s and 1930s, when he was Prince of Wales. She was also responsible for introducing him to Wallis Simpson. A harmless coincidence, or Harry’s subtle reminder to his audience that whatever his recent actions with people are, things could be a lot worse.

The appearance

Pure matinee idol. Not a hair out of place, not a blemish on the skin. As a boy, Cooper modeled for Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein, training tells us, as did his aristocratic upbringing. Beautifully tailored suits, pure white originating shirts, simple yet elegant ties. He seems to prefer purple, perhaps as a royal complement to the silver hair. Don’t forget the dark, thick-rimmed glasses, a vital underpinning to Cooper’s sharp, soulful tact. No English presenter has ever been this good, but then again on an English journalist it would look very fishy.

expected line of questioning

With Cooper making a name for himself early on covering Diana’s funeral, and having the experience of losing a young parent, Harry may ask more about his relationship with his mother and the loss he felt after her death. In the trailer for the CBS show, Harry claims the palace has been “leaking and planting” stories to plot against him and Meghan. Cooper, who is a US citizen, may be more sympathetic to Meghan’s dim view of the British press.
