Please ‘spare’ us! There’s going to be sequel!

[Tamarindtree]

There's enough for another book! Prince Harry says he cut his memoir in HALF and stripped out details about his father and brother - as he claims he has 'long-term' aim to 'fix' the monarchy!

What an arrogant and deluded oaf!

The Duke of Sussex told The Telegraph he chose to leave out several bombshells because he was concerned his father and brother would not 'ever forgive' him.

'The first draft was different. It was 800 pages, and now it's down to 400 pages. It could have been two books, put it that way. And the hard bit was taking things out.

'There are some things that have happened, especially between me and my brother, and to some extent between me and my father, that I just don't want the world to know. Because I don't think they would ever forgive me.'

Harry also revealed his motivation to speak out so publicly against the Firm is to ultimately 'save [his family] from themselves'.

He detailed plans to derail the relationship between the Royal family and the press, expressing his belief that in doing so he can protect future divisions in the family.

After the dust has settled, he expressed a hope that he and Meghan can reconnect with his family - even if they don't particularly like his decision to share 'his truth'.

😂😂😂😂😂

Such a simplistic view

Why? and how do you square your support and admiration for a member of the RF who has openly said he wants to be accepted back in that family (fat chance) while you deplore 'the reverence for a non elected family with wealth beyond anyone's imagination.' I mean, I don't doubt you do reconcile the two viewpoints to your own satisfaction, I'm just wondering how.

People aren't blaming Harry for the COL crisis, Rousette, as well you know.

He's behaving like an absolute twat. How can you still defend him? Is he paying you?

Is this why you support Harry? Do you see him as the conduit to bring down a system you don’t approve of? If I felt as strongly as you I would try and influence change myself, not rely on a multi millionaire Prince, yes he wants to change the monarchy (for his personal benefit) but he doesn’t want what you want, he just wants to be King and to control the press, I’m surprised you don’t realise this.

Nice bit of deflection @Roussette

How does a member of the public bring about an overthrowing of the monarchy?

Yes, Harry explicitly said that he believes in the monarchy.

His only issue is that he will never be head of said monarchy. Hence his lifelong hissy fit.

The crux of his complaint still seems to be about how M was treated so she is surely as complicit in keeping the hurt and anger alive and encouraging this misguided heroism.
Moving away has not liberated them but allowed those grievances to magnify and toxify. Children always pick up on these subtle signs. You cannot bung a load of chickens in front of them and think that they wont notice.

Perhaps it bothers him that they are the parents obsessively haunted and tortured by ghosts of the past and what might have been while K&W are better able to manage their emotions and perform in the role which is why he is now bringing their kids into it.

Time has been unkind to them. They were on the wrong side of history by a couple of years. Indeed, many people are now really concerned about their basic survival and will see these tales as tone-deaf escapism rather than deserving sympathy.

That's it in a nutshell @LadyVictoriaSponge and in the process, Harry has hurt a lot of people.

Gosh, that is a bit of a tonal shift from roussette. She's always maintained a position of 'lots wrong with a monarchy' countered with 'I don't agree with everything H&M have done or said" but now appears to be edging towards 'let hellfire rain down and if kids get caught in the cross fire so be it"

Oh let me think, join Republic Uk for start, stand as a local MP with this as your policy? You know pretty much how anyone would influence change for any subject important to them, it’s not difficult.

Is he paying you? Means ... i don't need to reply.

I have a view. That's it. It's different to yours. End of.

I think most people support a monarchy though, so that wouldn’t work. What would work is not allowing them to hide behind the Crown. Like Andrew for example. Or Charles shagging Camilla behind his wife’s back. Or being so chummy with Saville.

*Is he paying you? Means ... i don't need to reply.

No reply to the other points people have put to you?

I have just read the interview and have steam coming out of my ears! The ego and arrogance displayed are off the scale. The idea that he will reform the Royal family, the monarchy and the press single handedly is bonkers. I can just imagine William's reaction if Harry said he could save William's children from his own terrible fate. They are growing up in a loving household with grandparents and a large extended family. The threat implied is outrageous. 'I know what you did and why you did it'. Wow just wow! But yeah Harry you're just being helpful, not trying to hurt your family.

Harry thinks William and Catherine are as gormless as he is. Does he think they haven’t thought how to ensure their children don’t grow up like him and Andrew?

He's completely disregarding Kate's interest in and knowledge of child development. I always saw that as coming from a desire to make sure history didn't repeat itself (which I imagine she must be feeling all the more now!!). She has the time and the support (nanny at least) to provide her the emotional energy required to be an amazing parent. I have similar interests to her, but not the time, energy or finances to do it well. In some ways she's likely to be a mother to look up to (not saying she's perfect). He's completely undermining what he knows she's been involved in with comments like those in The Telegraph.

He's stirring so many pots, at some point one will boil over and it'll be messy.

I think Harry should leave William and Catherine to worry about their own children, and plan/prepare them for a secure and healthy future.

Imagine your brother/sister waltzing in to your house one day announcing they had concerns for your children's future, and they feel it their responsibility to ensure systematic change. 🤣 I'd push my own brother over in to a dog bowl for voicing that revelation, even if my brother is about a foot taller than me and a few stone heavier.

There are four books in the deal.

I'm calling 'Spareticus' as the next title in 🤓

Well there is your answer, you think the public would support a monarchy so therefore the monarchy stays, why do you want to bring down the constitution that you think the public support out of interest?

I have read them. But some are just... you know... beyond answering

No one is paying me.

It hasn’t worked though has it?

Because they’re corrupt as fuck and I don’t want to pay for them. Having a hereditary monarch sitting in a literal palace while people are homeless six feet away is absolutely shameful.

Yet.

What ones are beyond answering? how you reconcile you very vocal support for a member of the RF with your wish not to have a monarchy?

You don't usually have a problem with stating your opinions, judging by other threads.

You must feel quite beleaguered, Rousette, trying to defend the indefensible. It must get more difficult with every embarrassing revelation and morally corrupt comment from your darling.

If you want a republic, this isn't the way to go about it.
