Brave man. Painfully transparent and authentic. At last..
Someone that tells it like it is. Refreshing at least and if even 50% of people that read Spare now looks at press articles cynically then that's a result ! I am excited to see change - we need it .
What do you think ?

Not how I read it.

Fascinating, isn’t it!

Really? I also thought he behaved appallingly towards any ‘little people’ that he described in his book - the examples above, the matron, the N. Irish soldier instructing him in Afghanistan, the person in the apartment above him, anyone working for the Queen, I could go on. What did you think was egalitarian about him punching a bodyguard whilst pissed, knowing he couldn’t give him a slap back?

All Harry’s done for me is make me like William and Kate. I was never interested in the RF before him and his narc wife started their whingefest. Totally baffled by the hysteria over Diana. Occasionally mused if the Queen wiped her own bum if I noticed her on TV although I did like her colourful outfits as she got older. Surprised at first at such bright colours on an elderly lady and thought she looked great.

Most people weren’t deluded to think they were anything over than human (or lizards) so nothing surprising that there might have been some dysfunction.

A lot of people have suffered truly horrific abusive childhoods (me included) with all types of abuse, lost one or both parents at an early age, but we have to carry on often without reaching our full potential and in poverty due to accumulated mental health issues without his riches, servants, education, job of choice, private jets, luxurious holidays and access to first class physical and mental health care.

I can’t identify with him at all and him telling his ‘truth’ certainly doesn’t help any of us. He’s only making money for an even more hedonistic lifestyle.

It’s just made me judge him as an over privileged, pompous, whiny weiner with no self awareness and pretty nasty to boot.

I agrée with you @Noangelbuthavingfun
But people are always reluctant to accept things are not like they thought they were.

The RF is somehow untouchable. The Queen and now the King sort if perfect. Never mind said King has shown his morals are very low - from his affair with the OW who is now becoming the Queen (consort) to his support to Prince Andrew despite his paedophilia.

But hey ho. He is somehow not making waves and breaking thé protocol so all is good.

Shattered the illusion that they're all smarter than all of us, you mean.
I'm no royalist, but he sounds like a 12 year old - unable to see any nuance anywhere and genuinely perceives himself as some sort of revolutionary radical for marrying a black woman. How unbelievably patronising to her!

He's proper embarrassed himself with this.
He even thinks he's so important that when he and his family reunite (good luck with that) world peace will actually be achieved.
'It will send ripples across the entire world.'
That's a direct quote.
😆
What a self important, deluded teenager.
So funny that people have been taken in by a damaged individual's fantasies.

ManyNameChanges · 25/01/2023 09:47

Yes @justwren , it shows how ALL OF THEM are nowhere near smarter than any of us. Incl the king, William, etc etc….

Why would you ever think that just because they are the RF they would be “smart”? Since when did being born in to a certain family make you “smarter than us”? I have never thought that. Just that they happen to be the family who have inherited the throne.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 25/01/2023 10:20

Does the title of your post consciously echo George Galloway saluting Saddam Hussein, or is that just coincidence?

TrashyPanda · 25/01/2023 10:25

I think it’s shown him to be a petty, immature, misogynistic man who is obsessed with his prick and has a disturbing Madonna/whore complex.

a nasty piece of work

CalloohCallayFrabjousDay · 25/01/2023 11:07

One of the lies was saying that his mother bought an Xbox for him in 1997 before she died. Xbox was released in 2001.
Penguin Random House fact checkers must've been on the same drugs he was!

PicturesOfDogs · 25/01/2023 12:05

I just don’t get who ever thought they had ‘mystique’ in the first place? Who is ever thought this, given the shit show that was the 90s? 😂

I think you’re projecting that there is any illusion to break, because you are a republican, so you want this to be true so people wil suddenly ‘see the truth’ and the revolution to begin.

It hurts your cause that people know they’re a dysfunctional family, and just don’t care either way, because most of us are too busy with our own personal lives, and if wasn’t this family, it would be someone else.

It would cost us the same amount of money, in fact a republic would be significantly more expensive in the short term, I mean overhauling a whole system doesn’t come cheap. Especially when noone can agree on what the alternative would be.

People know they’re not perfect, but they don’t care. Sometimes it just a case of better the devil you know, who wants even more upheaval 🤷‍♀️

Jordosky · 25/01/2023 13:20

Yup we’ve all seen what happened with brexit, dealing with the fall out and rising costs. Flawed as they are, don’t fancy the alternative.

Also why do certain posters keep using the context/sarcasm card - we know! It still makes them sound awful and entitled.

shockthemonkey · 25/01/2023 13:54

He sings beautifully, too... right?

I can certainly say that I've never heard anything quite like it.

shockthemonkey · 25/01/2023 14:03

Autumn 😂

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 25/01/2023 14:06

Sounds like the start of a review for publication there, OP. Is it? and were you hoping our no doubt favourable opinions of Spare would write it for you?

BeaBachinasec · 25/01/2023 14:11

Spare is yesterday's news.

Harold got his 30 pieces of silver.

What next for him and Meghan? Is he going to have to perform again when the paperback comes out?

trucklebrunch · 25/01/2023 14:12

I think Harry is a damaged man, is ill equipped to live in the real world and very entitled. I don't think he was honest with Meghan and she didn't stand a chance of settling into the RF.
He has an unhealthy obsession with seeing his wife as almost the same person as his dead mother, he is unbalanced.

I have renewed respect and fondness for the RF, and admire how they're handling this shit show with dignity, continuing to focus on their good causes.

Ineedwinenow · 25/01/2023 14:15

Harry Potter is a biography compared to the shite written in Harry Windsors book!

So no, I actually have more respect for the Royals now and feel very sorry for them!

phobiaofsocialmedia · 25/01/2023 14:39

I agree OP. No one deserves to be treated like that by the press.

Most of the haters have only read Daily Mail headlines.

HeddaGarbled · 25/01/2023 15:09

You made that up 😃

AutumnCrow · 25/01/2023 15:12

'Haters'. Ffs, so lame. Has that word got some modern new meaning? Would the thesaurus of modern-day social engagement give synonyms like 'dissenters' and 'persons who hold a different opinion'?

AutumnCrow · 25/01/2023 15:12

Anyway it's spelled 'haterz' as any fule kno

Bollindger · 25/01/2023 15:22

This is so funny it is making me giggle.
Can I mention Henry the 8th killing his wifes.
Elizabeth and Mary killed many people.
Cromwell got rid of the crown, but the people wanted it back.
Duke of Windsor and the other American,
Diana dies and still here we sit with Good King Charles.
Sorry Harry is a one trick pony, bitter resentful and 2nd tier....
Just wait a little while and Harry will be no more, /fancy him knowing that instead of being front and center as his father takes the crown, he might be paid to talk about it as he watches on a TV.

Xenia · 25/01/2023 16:09

For most people in the UK H&M have made them more not less monarchist. The royal family is more popular now than any time in my life time actually. The days when it might have been abolished are long gone.

BMW6 · 25/01/2023 16:25

Christ Almighty OP Harry and meghan have even given different versions of how they first met - in their own words!

They have lied repeatedly in their programmes and his book so how you can put any faith in his claims is utterly beyond my comprehension.
