does anyone agree that Harry should have written this Spare book?

[creamcoffee]

and now?

I want to keep hearing about it. It's like the best soap opera ever!

I think if it helps us to start to seriously consider republicanism it was a good idea but I think because a lot of people who hitheto were sort of on 'his side' now think he's gone too far that plan may not work as intended. It would be great for Andrew to get some 'real world' experience like in Tesco explaining to customers the benefits of having a club card but think Harry overshot it.

HAHAHAHA

i dont think my poll was very clear, even i dont understand it
is h unreasonable to write the book i guess

Well he probably shouldn't have written it...but I'm glad he did!

He’s the product of far too much (of the wrong sort?) of therapy. Believes he’s much more important than he is and can’t get past it.

he could have had an absolutely wonderful and happy life- either in the royal family or out. But airing all his dirty laundry, I can guarantee, will not be making them feel any better.

That's not a very balanced opinion, StickyToff. Both 'sides' have behaved badly towards each other over the years, but Harry has made public a lot of stuff that probably most of us think should be private.

He needs to find a way to come to terms with his hurt and accept his family are never going to apologise in the way he feels they should, instead of lashing out at them in public constantly. I do hope for his own sake he can find a way to do that, as ultimately, as much as these revelations are damaging to the royal family they will only cause himself more.

As I say, that's just my take as an outsider looking in and a non-royalist.

No he should not. He is one big massive ongoing car crash. I am sick to fucking death of him. Can't believe how much I loathe him and Megzy, compared to how much I liked them 3 or so years ago.

I don’t understand your poll. “And now?” what? I can’t comment in AIBU because you haven’t said which way you lean anyway.

I was a bit sad The Crown would be ending after the next season.
So very pleased the sequel is in the offing. Will wait till the Netflix series rather than read it though.

And no I don't care about any of them. Lost any remnants when they rallied around Andrew.

@Aprilx Aprilx
i did clarify later, apologies,
should H have written the book, was he being unreasonable.
is he reasonable
is he unreasoanble

I’m looking forward to reading it but I do fear for him. He’s clearly not well and I just hope he’s strong enough to come out of the other side of this mess.

If him and Megan split up I dread to think what will become of him as he’s burnt every other bridge.

Welll nothing else is dominating the news because of this book....from. the person who doesn't want to be on the news.

Today he succeeded in alienating his military family.

he has alienated his own family

meghan has lost her entire family both sides apart from her mum. She only saw fit to bring Ashleigh back when she could use her for a purpose.

they sprout these stories to make themselves look better but actually make themselves look really bad , callous and tacky.

Meghan acts like the worlds most important feminist with her fairy liquid tale but reduces another woman to their basic biology by calling her baby brain.

they still have their celebrity family I guess.

They are very shallow people. The RF will stay silent and just keep letting them dig bigger holes for themselves. Eventually they’ll start to sue or fight with other people and piss them off and they’ll have nobody but the bank manager at their family bbqs

Yes...

I dislike his mentioning of the Taliban matter; unnecessarily creates a target on his and the backs of his family.

However, the royal family have been lower to go unchecked and not called to account for poor behaviour which I think just reinforces and allows their bad behaviour to continue. Prince William has had an affair; only the pearl clutchers believe otherwise. It's widely reported and backed up elsewhere. They are allowed to deflect by serving others up as fodder to the gutter press. He is clearly quick tempered and violent... If you remove the royal aspect and someone asked if following said incident should they report it to police/ tell other family members, usually the response would be yes/ ltb/ violence not acceptable.

Most recent example of impropriety where a royal man paid a settlement figure, to a woman he never met, to settle sexual exploitation and abuse claims whilst she was underage (in US). Yet there are no repercussions for an alleged sex offender.

But yes... Harry and Meghan are the problem 🙄🙄🙄

What's the lip gloss thing lol

Can someone please explain why people on these threads are so heavily invested in the lives of complete strangers, whose lives they know nothing about other than what they hear from the rags and tittle tattle and whom they are extremely unlikely to ever know.

I'm glad he did. Simply because I've laughed so hard at the posts on here and other platforms about the leaks over the past couple of days.

This. ^

That’s what mumsnet is all about!!!

we are all invested in each other’s bloody lives and we are all strangers to each other

@MrsSkylerWhite
because the monarchy are huge in this country

Harry did write it, didn't he?

Such wide-eyed faux innocence! With a side order of snobbery. 🙄

People are posting about people they don't know, for the same reason you are posting on THIS forum. 😏

I read something about this phenomenon years ago. Apparently humans are meant to live within tribes...but modern society has removed that so we look to famous people and gossip about them to recreate that feeling of being involved other people's lives.

It's an interesting theory I guess.

I am enjoying watching all this dirty laundry come out which is very damaging to the monarchy. Hopefully this will be the beginning of the end of our unelected overlords.

I'm no fan of harry but i hate the monarchy more 😁
