His publisher has confirmed he's sold 400,000 copies across all formats in ONE DAY. That's probably a record breaking amount for a memoir.

I don’t think having pretty much destroyed your relationship with your only sibling is having the last laugh.

Plus smirking that the Taliban might kill him is really fucking shitty. It doesn't matter what you think of a person, wishing them is violent death is awful.

He wished it on himself ffs, what type of idiot would boast about killing 25 Taliban in Afghanistan, was he expecting them to slap him on the back & say "hello old stock, jolly good work carried out, killing 25 of our people & referring to them as chess pieces?"

Exactly.

I wonder if he actually cares about that.

I think, one day, he will.

JRHartley72 · 10/01/2023 21:04

Does he want to build bridges though? I think he's paying lip service to the idea of a reconciliation because he knows it's what's expected of him and people would be shocked if he said 'sod it, I'm grey rocking the lot of them and going NC forever'. I think he knows there's no way back and has embraced it.

I don't think he's 'embraced' it at all. He looks angry and miserable.

I think he's desperate for a response but he's not going to get it.

Underminer · 10/01/2023 21:14

He has found a way to take in millions, but I don’t think he will ever be free and happy. He’s got things off his chest, and made money, but money doesn’t buy peace. He hasn’t found that, no matter what he says, as he clearly still has all this internal rage.

You can think he’s a dick without also thinking that the rest of the RF are great. It’s a very public family, dysfunctional with a long history and many traditions in a world of fast pace change in media. I wouldn’t swap their lives for mine.

Rhondaa · 10/01/2023 21:17

JRHartley72 · 10/01/2023 21:11

He seems to think this will open the door to reconciliation, he talks about love etc. I think it's more than likely the final nail in the coffin.

All desperately sad. Think he'll continue to unravel.

I've bought it.

Why do people think the royals are making no comment? They communicate through the tabloids every single day; contriving to steer publicity in their own favour and the plebs just lap it up 😂🤣

You’ve drunk Harold’s Koolaid.

HufflepuffRavenclaw · 10/01/2023 21:20

I volunteer in a charity shop. We're going to be deluged in a few months.

DorisParchment · 10/01/2023 21:21

They can strip the Sussexes of their titles and disinherit Harry, and pass his inheritance on to Archie and Lili. With his children inheriting, Harry would look petty to complain.

CharlieBoo · 10/01/2023 21:23

Agree, I don’t think he’s embraced anything. He comes across as very bitter and angry. He looks sad and miserable. I hope he can find peace because he comes across as a troubled man who despite all the therapy he’s had, has not accepted what’s happened to him, forgiven or shown any compassion to those who have hurt him. Until he does this, he won’t find the happiness he so desperately craves.

I completely agree.

You don't take on the crown & win... He who laughs last laughs best.. The Crown are biding their time, doing what they do best staying schtum... Soon he won't know what hit him. Enjoy your 5 mins fame Harold!

Exactly, I'd be sweating a bit now if I were him...

mummytippy · 10/01/2023 21:25

He might be a billionaire bookseller but imo he's definitely not going to get the reconciliation he's hoping for.

JRHartley72 · 10/01/2023 21:26

I think he's desperate for a response but he's not going to get it.

I think, on reflection, this sums it up. He keeps poking and poking and STILL they won't rise to the bait. I bet they're not even sending or responding to texts after he made a big show of the one Willy sent him on the Netflix doc. It must be driving him insane that they are maintaining the don't complain, don't explain line and have probably hardened it even more since the book leaks began.

I'm reading the kindle version snd I'm a good way in. So far no outrageous scandal just very sad.

So you think he's lying then?

Difficult to believe a word that comes out of his mouth. Ditto Meghan.

I just think he could be saying publicly what he thinks is expected of him – that even though he's written a book that is so scathing of his family he still wants to be a part of it and still loves them. Yet deep down I think he's already cut his losses.

I think the people who wanted to read it have bought it now and the people who haven’t bought it never will.

I could be wrong of course.

I've not bought it yet, but now I've heard it's £8 in Tesco I'll be buying it soon!

FlairBand · 10/01/2023 21:35

@Noonesperfect that begs the question of why Tesco’s are happy to sell at that price really doesn’t it!
