Has Harry taken any responsibility for anything?

[Flakjacketon]

I haven't read Spare - I will do when I can get it from the library - so my knowledge of the content comes from the media - in all it's forms.

What is coming across in reports, is that Harry and Meghan are complete innocents who were, cruelly, driven out of the Family by jealousy - amongst other things

Has has he taken responsibility for anything that happened even in a small way?

Also, he wants his father and brother back but the ball is in the court of the RF. How can that happen? How can the RF have an open relationship with H&M, knowing that anything that is said could end up in another book or Netflix film.

And apparently, if his (foolish, in my opinion) account of having killed 25 Taliban fighters results in repercussions, it's the media's fault, not his.

Personality disorder where the person takes no responsibility for anything he does and blames everybody else for everything else that happens. He has an elephantine memory for perceived wrongs and sleights done to him but no perception about the feelings of others or the harm done to others for what he says. Apparently he wasn’t like this before he linked up with Meghan and got into ‘therapy’ so Maybe it’s the crowd of nutters he is running around with in California who are all into this fantasy world

As you say - you haven't read it. Suggest you get on the library list pronto (in my area e-book lists tend to be shorter waits) and then you will be able to post with some actual knowledge.

I agree with you but you should probably ask for this to be moved into The Royal Family topic. There are so many threads about Harry's book/interviews that some people are fed up of them on Active, so have hidden the topic.

I haven't read the book or watched his interviews. My understanding from media reports is that he believes Spare is him taking responsibility for his mental health healing by speaking "his truth". It will be interesting, five years from now, to see how he assesses the results. If he had a do over, would he have changed anything?

It's already coming out about him lying, he said he was at school during the queen mothers death. He wasn't he was skiing.

The book may as well be fiction. If he can lie about that what else is he lying about.

I lay in bed earlier listening to the BBC news play a clip of him on an American show moaning that the media are spinning his telling the tale of his "number" as him boasting about it. My eyes rolled like a slot machine.

Please ask this for this to be moved into the Royal Family topic - there's a reason one was created and that's because it was annoying the living daylights out of the rest of us who hadn't bought into the 'Megs and Harry are evil' shite.

Yes please can this be moved into thr royal section. I'm hiding threads as fast as I can but it doesn't help when people keep starting new ones saying the same thing. Yes we get it, mehgan is a vile woman who should be whipped for eating an avocado and Harry should have his prince title removed. Yawn.

I am so bored of this topic. Get a life, honestly.

There is a royal section for a reason ffs. Keep the insanity there

I've been reading the reports and have been surprised at the level of personal detail he's laid out about the family but to be honest, they're not unlike squabbles I've seen in my own family, albeit maybe not about tiara's.

However, I was absolutely shocked and felt a bit sick regarding the war admission and the troops. It is so, so wrong on every level possible. Who could have possibly thought it was ok to go in the book?

Report to mn and ask to move to RF section otherwise it’ll fill up with move to RF posts

The Royal family, their various press offices and staff have been briefing against this couple too - it's not all one way on the divulging details - H&M do it in plain sight, RF prefer to be a bit more back-handed. Total mess all round.

Anyone who belongs to a dysfunctional will recognise the power plays, pain and hurt. I have gone no contact with most of my siblings - I am aware that I must have done something to contribute to the bad blood between us. For years, to avoid upset, I agreed with collective decisions that I was not invited to take part in - I just required to write the cheque - when I started saying no to the requests for money, they started being quite nasty. Was that all it took - was it just me challenging them and saying no? I genuinely don't know what else I've done - my role of the scapegoat had been firmly established - I am the baddy, I managed to get blamed for literally everything - but unlike PH who is still holding out for a reconciliation sometime in the future - that ship has sailed for me and I am grateful to have escaped - the trust has gone - toxic families are hideous and the RF are no exception..

This whole thing about the RF ‘briefing’ against him - interesting that reporters don’t appear to have noticed it. The problem is that this man is totally self absorbed and has gone on his path to what he believes is ‘healing’ by trying to destroy everyone else he has a grudge against. Of course that never works.

I absolutely agree with you.
The bottom line is that if Harry had been brought up in a mentally healthy and living family, none of this would be happening. I still support him because I’m from an abusive and dysfunctional family and i totally recognise the need to have the abuse acknowledged and how that puts you in the firing line. I don’t think either H and M are perfect humans but I definitely recognise the behaviour of someone who has suffered trauma.

Loving, not living

I've reported this thread to get it moved, maybe others could do the same?

Can this please be moved to the right forum

Yeah paying his own way in life unlike his parasitical family.

The answer to that would be... No.

He seems desperately afraid that he can't say, unfiltered, 'I was/am/did something wrong'. Instead, he has to say, 'Ah, but I wasn't racist, it was unconscious bias and the fault of my upbringing'. Or he has to say, 'Ah, but that's the spin that the media are putting on my words'. Or, 'Will and Kate made me wear the Nazi costume'.

An all out bit of honesty from him, like, 'I'm sorry, I was wrong and I can't ever explain it away to an American chatshow host', is sadly missing. He just infantalises himself all the time and points the finger.

So, no.

How about you read the book first (instead of repeating like a parrot what the tabloids are feeding you)? You may come to your own conclusion. Thinking for yourself is amazing stuff.

You don't expect me to line his family trashing, lying, hypocritical pockets do you?!

I am in the library queue 😚

Besides, Harry talks about a lot of this in the interviews - out of the horse's mouth, so to speak

I think he was incredibly badly damaged by his mother's death and the way it was never handled at the time. Making him do that walkabout and walk behind the coffin was child abuse IMO.
This is the fallout.
