Knowing how it was going to play out caused her to become increasingly worried about the public reaction to her behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>Suggesting she thought the public initially considered her to be a &#8220;calm strategic genius,&#8221; Harriet says, &#8220;Viewers thought I was a strategic genius, people were saying I was going to be the next prime minister.
