Blurb from publisher.

In an intimate and heartfelt memoir from one of the most fascinating and influential global figures of our time, Prince Harry will share, for the very first time, the definitive account of the experiences, adventures, losses, and life lessons that have helped shape him.

Covering his lifetime in the public eye from childhood to the present day, including his dedication to service, the military duty that twice took him to the frontlines of Afghanistan, and the joy he has found in being a husband and father, Prince Harry will offer an honest and captivating personal portrait, on that shows readers that behind everything they think they know lies an inspiring, courageous and uplifting human story.'

And still he claims to respect and love HM. What a shitty thing to do to a “much loved” widowed grandmother who is very elderly. What a way to try and sour the end of her reign.

Especially as the book is due out in the Jubilee year.

@crocidura I know she ended up with Tim Burton and they lived in separate houses. Quite the best solution if a man ends up with a Bonham-Carter. Will look up Branagh - intrigued to find out if he was with her for long.

@GreenCrayon

Abso-fucking-lutely. He is the WORST advert for therapy I've ever seen in my life. Who the fuck is he seeing? And what is their supervisor playing at??? Mind-boggling.

I totally agree with this. He could have done so much good for normalising mental health problems and getting support but he's doing the complete opposite. Now people who have little to no understanding of therapy think this is the end result.

He should in my opinion be bloody ashamed of how he added to the stigma of seeking help.

V good point, GreenCrayon, he's hindering, not helping, the very people he bleats on about wanting to help,

If this book relates to a “fascinating and influential” person Prince Harry that’s a contradiction in terms first off. Then take into account PH guards his privacy and that of his family it’s going to be a pretty empty account if we were to take him at his word.

Ah but that’s the rub, his word isn’t exactly reliable anymore. He really has now seriously lost his way. Crickey what a terrible advertisement for his therapist.

@StartupRepair

I wonder if he is going to unleash on Camilla and the pain she and Carles caused Diana. It is such a complete burning of bridges. Really hope he is blissfully happy in his marriage and new country as he will not have a single family member remaining in his corner of after this.
Harry was eight when they publicly separated, so that might be a bit of a stretch (not that that would stop him). He'll probably still have Andrew in his corner. Andrew, at least, owes Harry a huge debt of gratitude for soaking up much the bad press that would otherwise have been rightly aimed at him.

It would be kind of funny if he goes off on Camilla. If the fact that Camilla makes his father happy isn't enough for Harry to forgive her role in causing pain to his mother, why would the fact that Meghan (supposedly) makes him happy be enough for everyone in her family to overlook all the pain she's caused them?

*I say "supposedly" because who are happy with their lives don't behave this way.

the joy he has found in being a husband

I bet that she wrote that bit for him!

I think they were together for a few years, I've seen quite a few photos of them together.

I once bumped into him in a corridor and did that thing where you recognise someone but can't remember how you know them so just stared at him awkwardly and he was very nice and smiley and said hello, and then I realised and flustered myself away.

TheSkatesOfCoachBombay · 19/07/2021 23:05

Oh I do hope his memoirs include the fact he had to go on a racial awareness course twice during his time in the British Army. Then snorting cocaine in Vegas whilst playing billiards naked, then the nazi costume, if we could have an explanation of that, that would be great!!

Though is doubt any of that will be forthcoming 🤔

How do these people get mega deals for their dull as dishwater lives. I genuinely have a life story that would make people watch my Netflix documentary like this 😱. Will someone pay me some money please 😂.

Kipperandarthur · 19/07/2021 23:05

It’s also the lowest of the low trashing all of your close family for money.
It’s beginning to look like The Jeremy Kyle show.

It’s now fully burnt bridges.

MouseontheLouse · 19/07/2021 23:09

He'll be able to pay off the mortgage and own the Montecito house outright with that sort of advance. No wonder he bit their hands off

Won't he have to pay tax on it?

Maireas · 19/07/2021 23:09

Oh lord, the book tours. The chat shows. Dear god. I hope he appears on the One Show after an item about someone's prize cabbages.

CatherineAragon · 19/07/2021 23:10

I wonder why she isn’t writing books about her own dysfunctional family for money? It’s all a one way street which is turning into a cul de sac.

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 19/07/2021 23:10

It has been looking like the JezzaKyle show for some time now I reckon.

And if it had still been on air, I reckon he’d have been chopsing away on that as well.

for a small fee

Maireas · 19/07/2021 23:12

I wonder what the title will be?
The Long Walk to Freedom has already been taken by Mandela.

Thomas and Samantha are interesting enough characters, I suppose, but I don't think very many people would pay to read about them. I doubt Doria wants that sort of attention, and since she's the only close relative Meghan seems to have any kind of relationship with, Meghan probably cares at least a little bit about what she thinks.
Maireas · 19/07/2021 23:14

@SheldonesqueTheBstard - evening, my friend! We are at one with this, I see!
What an unedifying spectacle.

I doubt Harry’s family want that kind of attention, but it seems he doesn’t care, not even a little bit.

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 19/07/2021 23:21

Hello maireas my friend.

I know. I feel a wee bit sad because I think in years to come he may deeply regret choosing this path.

A problem shared is not always a problem halved.

Not when you can’t see the wood for the dollar signs.

Sometimes folk can go just too far.

And whoever is blowing smoke up his pipe needs to stop before he pops.

Maireas · 19/07/2021 23:26

You're right, Sheldon . I've been a bit sarky about it, but it's actually quite a sad situation to see it break down like this. I thought they'd reached a rapprochement at Philip's funeral, and were planning a Windsor christening for Lilibet?

GellerYeller · 19/07/2021 23:26

Oh I do hope his memoirs include the fact he had to go on a racial awareness course twice during his time in the British Army.

Tbf they all go on one. He did have to attend a further course though.

Aspiringmatriarch · 19/07/2021 23:28

I think this memoir sounds like a really bad idea though.

I bet he puts a spin on this.
nancy75 · 19/07/2021 23:29

Things likely to be missing - the previous girlfriends (the blonde ones that looked the same) the racist comments to his ‘friend’, the Nazi uniform, the naked Vegas stuff.
It’s going to be missing all the best bits
