due to Harry’s book?

I think the general consensus so far has been that Harry is emotionally damaged and a bit of a man child/idiot. I’ve also noticed a few comments on here that have said they’re starting to feel a bit sorry for her having to deal with said man child.

It will be interesting to hear other’s opinions on the matter.

Bit of sympathy but she should be getting him help surely not riding the horse till he drops

wordler · 08/01/2023 09:54

I’ve always thought Harry must have done a really poor job of preparing her for what she was getting into and that’s been confirmed by these excerpts.

So feel a little more sorry for her for that and for having to deal with the Harry portrayed in this book.

No.
The whole navel-gazing and re-examining his entire life (and every single interaction with William, Kate, Charles) and rewriting history where he is always victimised by his family coincided with MM entering his life.
She turned him from a spoiled, partying lad into a paranoid, angry shell of a human. He is now somehow convinced his whole life up until he met her was a lie and everyone is out to get him.

I do feel sorry for her, but more so for their children.

He doesn't appear to have a winning personality (without all the palace spin) so the draw of him must have been his prince status.

I have a feeling she wanted him, she got him, and will end up regretting it.

I've not read the book

Justmuddlingalong · 08/01/2023 10:02

No. They've both pointed out numerous issues they felt they had with the RF, the media and the British public, which is entirely their right. But they seemed happy to overlook them to have the half in half out plan. When that was denied them, they spat the dummy. All seems very immature, spiteful and two faced to me.

StormzyinaTCup · 08/01/2023 10:02

No, not yet.

Menomenon · 08/01/2023 10:06

Mine - I have completely changed my opinion of her this week. I’ve also changed my option of the RF PR, and not the way Harry wants.

This book is Harry’s disaster alone. When Harry is with Meghan he is at least quite professional.

Similarly, when Harry was supported by RF PR, there was a veneer of ‘Fun Bloke, Hard Time, Good Friend and Brother’. Now he’s told the world that’s bollocks - he’s a spoilt, bratty manbaby.

CatherineMorland · 08/01/2023 10:07

I don’t think anyone who genuinely loved and cared for Harry would have let him publish his book in its present form. His vulnerability and stupidity is being exploited for money, to wring out every last dime.

I don’t think Harry and Meghan is the soul mate deep love we have been led to believe.

Twizbe · 08/01/2023 10:11

I've always wanted to like her. I think the absolute crux of it is that Harry didn't prepare her and she didn't expect the massive culture shock.

I got the sense at the funeral that she might have started to 'get it' in terms of the difference between celebrity and royalty.

I really think she thought she could be a Michelle Obama and didn't realise that royalty isn't political and that there would be restrictions on what she could do.

I still want to like her. I want them to be happy in a life they build for themselves. I don't think airing your dirties in public is the way to achieve that.

Stepuptowardsinfinity · 08/01/2023 10:17

No, she's ghastly. A not very bright, minor actress, who thought she'd be the superstar of the royal family and when she found out not only was she not but she'd have to work hard at boring jobs like opening supermarkets, she threw her toys out of the pram, screaming racism. Harry is clearly a deeply damaged man, also not very bright. They both see themselves as the eternal victims, which is never attractive.

Menomenon · 08/01/2023 10:20

Her life and her children’s lives are more at risk this week than they were last week, because Harry is stupid. She deserves some sympathy for that at least.

I'm assuming she knew the contents of the book though? Given how tight knit the two appear to be, I can't imagine she wouldn't have had to approve the book first.

Omid Scobie posted the full two pages on his Twitter and the context doesn't really change anything. However it's followed by several paragraphs on 9/11 so it's possible that Meghan approved it with the delusion that it will endear them to the American public.

Doesn't really change anything if she knew about it or not. The fact that the public now know what's in there is what will put them at risk.

StormzyinaTCup · 08/01/2023 10:39

Going by the comment in the cut:

'You never move one without the other,'" she told The Cut. "That's me and Harry. We're like salt and pepper. We always move together."

I'd think it very likely Meghan read and approved the final draft.

Somebatshitteryonhere · 08/01/2023 10:41

No, because she knew, she knew immediately. And the fact it’s went ahead means she’s complicit. Plus the rumour is she’s kept notes and planning her own tell all book.

it’s William and Charles I feel sorry for.

Barbie222 · 08/01/2023 10:42

I had a neutral opinion of her before. Now I feel against her as I don't feel she's supported her husband or looked out for her children.

Nah, she will have pre read the book. No way he kept the content secret. She will have approved it

it makes them both idiots. I’m assuming they thought it would make him out as some macho war hero. They didn’t think through anything past themselves

True but she didn't understand the consequences that seems to be the theme really I'm a lower class than Harry I still cringed at his kill count you never state it EVER

Bananarama21 · 08/01/2023 10:46

Hes comments have done nothing to gain him favour if anything its had the opposite effect. He's too dim to see this. As the saying goes give enough rope he will hang himself and in this case he has. All people see is two toxic individuals who have both fallen out with their respective families and are playing the woe me act.

He's comments over the tiara say it all she should have been privileged to wear any from the collection. They are completely tone deaf to the real struggles people face in the world. Meghan complaining whilst filming in Africa. They want to push their narrative because that's all they got to sell their souls and throw anyone under the bus for 'their' truth. Meghan is just as compliance as harry is as evident in the documentary. I do believe if the sexes were reversed people would be saying harry was in a controlling relationship who's partner has isolated them from friends and family members and been spreading lies to the highest bidder.

The fact she doesn't have any contact with older friends and her family says it all. I don't think she's a nice person and I 100 percent believe she bullied the Palace staff members. I'd love to hear her exhusbands take on her. She does seem to be the common denominator. Everyone else is in the wrong and they are in the right. It's not always the case.

I do believe she's been egging him to share 'their truth' in the documentary, he did look extremely uncomfortable in parts inparticular when meghan did the courtesy and was laughing. Let's not forgot he's grown up in the royal family and his wife is sitting their mockery their customs. I think she will ditch him and sale her story.

Guavafish1 · 08/01/2023 10:47

The publication was ill advised. But I suppose they both needed the money.

I agree, they are both eternal victims.

Harry ill prepare Meg on British aristocratic culture. Megan has helped Harry alienated himself from his family.

I do hope they both find some peace now... but I suspect the stories will keep rolling for years and years... as long as there is public appetite.

How can anyone's opinion have changed due to the book when it's not on sale yet?
Other than some 'highlights' in the media, unless you're Spanish, none of us have read it.

But clearly neither did he understand the consequences.

everyone is lower class than harry and most of us know at the least it’s in bad taste to say a number and a security risk to effectively tell the Taliban.

Because nearly every single interesting part is quoted in the press. No need to read it. It is certainly not just some highlights, it’s even on the news!
