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”

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'm writing this sat in a dog bowl.

Yes, I live in the US. Not sure why that matters. Am I not allowed to have an opinion on how the British press made money off of slagging H & M?

No, I think he'll pay up what he's pledged. He wouldn't piss off Prince Seeiso for a start. 😂😂
But, as much as I hate what he's doing to his family, I don't believe he wouldn't honour his commitments (unless, of course, there was a film premiere on and Meg wanted to go 😉😁).

Huh? It’s a two way relationship would Harry be making any money out of his book if the press wasn’t obsessed with it?

Of course. You can read what you like. It just seems weird to read foreign press and not your own. Don't they talk about Harry and Meghan over there then?

If the press had left them alone 5 years ago, there would be no book.

Every Daily Mail article made it worse. And they printed it because people buy the crap.

I have said for a long while here, if those who don't like them and don't want to hear about them would actually stop talking about them, they would become irrelevant and fade away.

Every negative thread plays right into their hands.

And when this book is fully released and more people realize it isnt badly written, just badly translated and presented in the same press making money slating them, it will remind people that the UK press had a very large hand in what is happening.

I hope you safely removed your necklace first.

Oops, I only just got the joke. 😂😂😂

I think if Harry and Meghan weren't making headlines they'd be very disappointed indeed.

I’d like to know which part of the princely story us plebs are supposed to be so inspired by?

You've been reading the UK press for 5 years!! Good lord, we don't even read it for that long and it's about matters that concern us.
Give yourself a break, love. 💐

Could be. Which is why the slagging giving them more attention is funny.
The worst thing you can do to a narcissist ignore them.

Did he build the Ikea furniture? That would be pretty inspiring. 🤣

Well, not all Americans are simple minded people who have no idea what is going on around them. Gasp, we read press around the world. Shocking.

But why would you read foreign “gutter press”? 🤷‍♀️

are us Brits still blocked by the national enquirer? 😂

How do you have time to read your own press if you're reading the press from around the world every day? How do you get all your jobs done?

Marsha, not working. Nice try though.

He’s a right twerp

He sounds like he has the 'me, me, me' attitude that people have when they leave therapy. Before they integrate back into the real world, and learn that not everything revolves around them.

Yes, it’s possible to make loads of money by doing things many people find tawdry and unconscionable. Why is that funny?

And why do you believe it is hateful to express an opinion about his choice to share private, intimate experiences for money? It is hateful for someone to say they find the Kardashians reality show embarrassing? It’s quite a similar impression he’s giving with this book.

Blimey, I'd be well inspired by that.

Did he build the Ikea furniture? That would be pretty inspiring.

Now that would be a genuinely useful book.

The irony is funny.

The practice is sad.

I tell you what inspires me. That he can freeze his todger and still rock up for his brother's wedding in full regalia.
Was that before or after the bin grew a head?

Yup, he's so relatable 😁
