I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become

“My hope is that in telling my story...I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think”

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2021/07/19/prince-harry-write-intimate-heartfelt-memoir/

Not sure what I expected when I first read the above Telegraph article but the publisher’s description of the book being “one that shows readers that behind everything they think they know lies an inspiring, courageous, and uplifting human story.”....is laughable!

I can't see the article as I won't subscribe but I suspect Harry thinks he has more in common with us "ordinary little people" than we think we do with him. He was born into privilege, inherited millions and is given a lot by virtue of his name/profile. When he has struggled to pay his bills, feed his children and work 9-5 every day I might listen

inspiring, courageous, and uplifting human story.

I dunno. To be honest he sounds more like a whiny baby to me.
Waa, William got a bigger bedroom, William got to sit in the front seat, William broken my necklace. Waa.
There's nothing inspirational about him. And if he thinks he's a man then he's sadly mistaken. No true man tries to destroy other people to make themselves feel better. And richer. I've been a supporter of his charitable endeavours and interested in his ideas of leadership. But he has now demonstrated that far from being a thought leader, he's just a big old windbag who has nothing original or uplifting to say. Just barrels of vitriol. Just...ugh.
So sad to discover that the Harry we all thought was a good guy was actually this nasty, whiny, petty-minded bozo. Poor Meghan. She must have been duped.

This one time, at granny’s palace I got the small bedroom.

Generational curse my arse.

Tbh it is quite inspiring the way he’s managed to unite everyone from middle-aged MN-ers all the way through to the Taliban - in mirth against him.

“away and boil yer heid” soon to be updated to “away and freeze yer cock”.

ugh. On which planet is it considered ok to talk about your genitals? 😔

CoffeandTiaMaria · 08/01/2023 05:18

‘,….and what an unedifying image.I present…’
If the resulting image is what he’d intended then quite frankly he definitely needs help, quickly.
I cannot see anyone of importance or otherwise wanting to be associated with the pair of them professionally or socially after what’s been written and said, least of all mental health charities whom they profess to champion.
A total shitshow that they’ll struggle to suppress for years to come.
And what a legacy for their children 👧

It’s interesting going back to that article which was published in July 2021. I wonder if Penguin are still excited they published his honest and moving story 😂

Harry said that proceeds will be donated to charity.. his Archewell charity??

MarshaMelrose · 08/01/2023 18:21

He's pledged $1.5m to Sentabale and $300,000 to a children's charity. I don't know about the other $18m.

HandShoe · 08/01/2023 18:27

‘I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become’

I doubt he would have got a book deal or Netflix as just the unemployed husband of a former tv actress…

It is #1 seller on Barnes and Noble and Amazon, both in the US and UK.

CEO of BN said pre-sales have been similar to Michelle Obamas book.

Harry and Meghan are laughing all the way to the bank.

I think that is what is so funny about this. The more hate is spread, the more money they make.

Has he actually paid up?

upfucked · 08/01/2023 18:34

I dunno. He gots lots of money and some else did all the writing. Sound like the man is still the prince he has always been.

SnowAndIceLobelia · 08/01/2023 18:36

He has not become a man though. He's just consolidated himself as a whiny immature dense numpty.

donteatme · 08/01/2023 18:36

Is there a thread for every single page of the book 🙄

Do you think he's going to do an Amber? 😲

I agree. And meme writers are raking it in. I bet Harry's having a good old belly laugh at them all. Good for him. 🙂

Sweetpeasaremadeforbees · 08/01/2023 18:41

Am I the only one who saw this (shortened title) on the RF thread list and assumed it was going to say ‘I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the prick I have become'?

Cuppasoupmonster · 08/01/2023 18:46

But he’s not a man that’s been on an inspirational journey from Prince to missionary in sub Saharan Africa or similar. He only left the Rf (I say loosely as he has clung onto his Duke title like there’s no tomorrow) a couple of years ago, to live in an LA mansion. The fact he things we peasants will find that ‘inspirational’ shows how mistaken he really is.

Well I think it's a shame that they want to spread hate to make money. It's no way life enhancing.

About the size of it.

onlylarkin · 08/01/2023 18:56

I feel the same way about the British press. 🤷‍♀️

fatfacemumma · 08/01/2023 18:57

Pre sales - I have onset how many wish they could cancel that?
Wasn't it part of a cheap Black Friday bundle too??
