To think Harry is really ill based on recent comments he's made?

[OhMonDieux]

I'm thinking of how he accuses the media of putting a spin on his comments about killing 25 men.

He says it's been taken out of context.
Does he even know what that means?

If the lines we read were quoted directly from the book, where is the spin? Yes, it may have been part of a bigger picture of (as he alludes to) helping soldiers overcome PTSD .

BUT he still gave a 'body count' and spoke of them as chess pieces (all of which the Army has said is not how they teach soldiers to think.)

Even if- and it's a big 'if' - the intention was good behind relating his war experiences, someone ought to have edited the book. He should have had advice from the military, rather than relying on a ghost writer.

He appears to be in complete denial about anything he does and the fault is always someone else's.

So sad, really, and how his father is coping I have no idea.

You don't think the news should report increased risk to the UK population and armed forces? That's the one bit of this that is actually news worthy.

I think every single adult in the UK would think that publically repeating private, family, conversations is wrong. You don't need The Sun to tell you that. Although we don't have many taboos in modern Britain, that's probably one of the last remaining ones.

Why is he always alone at these interviews , since Oprah? Where's Meghan?

I give a fuck what they think because they're very dangerous and powerful people and I don't want the media censoring the reality. It doesn't mean I approve of them.

Why is he always alone at these interviews , since Oprah? Where's Meghan?

It's not her story, though. If she was there, people would say she's controlling him.

Yep. You can't really manage security on the basis of dismissing what people who aren't very nice have to say. The not very nice ones are a large part of the reason for security in the first place!

That Sandringham extract is batshit. If it's a joke it's not in the slightest bit funny, if it's a lie, why? And if it's true, fuck, that is screwed up.

Lol.

All morality with Harry is about thinking one thing until someone puts him straight, and then he learns and thinks another thing. What is his own moral compass?

Does he even have a functioning moral compass?
I can't say I've seen much evidence of one myself ...

I don’t think he’s ill. I think he’s taken a calculated risk.

When you are up against such a powerful institution as the monarchy, and feel you are being stone-walled, I think you probably have to go big or go home.

And I think he’s put so much detail in it because then there’s nothing left for the press to spin.

I could be wrong but I think it could be all about how the media in general is spinning it and of course attendant potential profits!

I haven’t read ‘Spare’ yet but I read an article on the-line today that said that Harry apparently directs quite a lot of criticism towards Rebekah Brooks in the book as he (apparently) says that she allegedly spun a story about him related to his alleged drug-taking.

Brooks, as posters may know, is
a former journalist, former editor of
tabloid newspapers, and a prominent figure in the news international phone hacking scandal.

According to a 2014 article in the Evening Standard, among her closest friends who “had her back” during the hacking trial in which she was implicated
but was ultimately found not guilty, were:

Jeremy Clarkson - quoted as being “beyond ecstatic” at the verdict

Piers Morgan - “So happy for my friends Rebekah and Charlie”

Sound familiar?

And who does Rebekah Brooks work for now? She is apparently an executive for
Murdoch-owned News International.

Who benefits most from turmoil within the Royal Family? The media in general of course.

Follow the money trail everyone!

Disclaimer: this is all supposition on my part, I have no proof, I am sure Rebekah Brooks has many other friends too 🤔
