Heir and Spare

[Nard75]

Looking to the future and all the problems that have happened with Harry being the spare and being treated differently to his older brother. How do you think William will handle this with his 2 children seeing as he has spare X2. I feel William has been unsympathetic towards the position that Harry has been in so how will he feel when it is his 2 children are going through the same thing that their Uncle did.

No such thing as a borderline paedophile. You are or you aren't.

On Margaret's feelings about Peter, I can buy that she changed her mind and used the divorce issue as a shield. But why did she tell her chaffeur to 'run the brute down!' when they saw Tommy Lascelles and say he was 'the man who ruined my life'. Was there possibly regret about Peter after the unhappy marriage to Anthony and her later life? Was she deceiving herself into thinking he was the love of her life?

I’m sure there was regret. I don’t think she could face losing all her Royal privileges. In which case she didn’t love him enough.

The thing is though that it's not Harry's role to do that when it's not what he wants and needs.

Also, Harry can no more know what it's like to be the heir than William can to be the spare.

I don’t think that’s true at all.

Anne was only ‘the spare’ until Andrew was born.

True. He was 30, she was 14 when he first met. OK, not the current definition on paedophilia but:
Hebephilia is the term used to describe a preferential sexual interest in pubescent (i.e. early adolescent) individuals, rather than adult partners. As with paedophilia, it is not a term that would be applied to under-16s. A related term is ephebophilia, used to describe a preferential sexual interest in adolescent individuals (usually mid-late teens).
Grooming? Maybe not. Maybe she was smitten by the sophisticated young war hero.
Was it normal to court someone half your age?

Can you give examples ? Did he force Harry to dress up as a Nazi ? Did he force Harry to use disgusting racist language ?

I always wonder if she became infatuated by him following her father's death, as he worked closely with her father, and he helped her by being an older 'paternal' figure. Of course, none of us will ever know!
