Harry has shattered the illusion of the monarchy... I salute him!!

[Noangelbuthavingfun]

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 ?

I just don’t get who ever thought they had ‘mystique’ in the first place?

It's a weird feature of these threads that certain posters believe that everyone 'reveres' the royals and has an idealistic picture of them as flawless individuals, due to the narrative they are 'fed' by the press. Everyone except the posters themselves of course. They are intelligent and blessed with critical thinking abilities which allow them to see through all that, unlike the rest of us 'forelock tugging' tabloid readers.

I do wonder if these posters actually know anything about Britain? The royals have been mocked and ridiculed in the press for decades. Centuries even. Nobody really believes they have any 'mystique' or that they are in any way 'better' than the rest of us. We all know they're at least as messy as the rest of us. That's why they're interesting. Perfect people are very dull. Spare hasn't told us anything we didn't know, except to confirm that Harry is even more dim, obnoxious and entitled than we had suspected. If anything, people feel sorry for the rest of the royals for having put up with him in silence for all those years.

I think he’s a highly privileged, weak minded, easily led , rather dim and sad individual. And you are a hardened anti Monarchist with an axe to grind.

'Brave' FFS. He wrote a book that comprehensively trashed his family and people who can't answer back. He didn't run into a burning building to save lives.

He didn’t write it, he had to get somebody else to do it for him.

i thought we hadn’t had one of these for a while.

no. He’s a dick. He’d have sold more books if he included tales of day to day palace life.
e.g the queen banned Philip from having beans. William sings “I’m too sexy” when doing the washing up. And camela bakes an amazing lemon drizzle.

The more Harry opens his mouth the more sympathy I have for the royal family, I think his book has done the exact opposite of what he intended. Spare and the Netflix reality show already feels like yesterday’s news, I wonder how he will cope now all the attention is dying down, it must be exhausting having to constantly think of ways to sell your family out to pay his enormous electric bill, yep go Haz.

Harry has completely lost his way and even Meghan, who is so good at controlling harry, is way out of her depth. It really is a car crash

We’re roughly the same age and I agree with you. This ridiculous fiasco has definitely done the RF’s popularity no harm, it’s made people wonder how they put up with Harry for as long as they did.

@Noangelbuthavingfun

Oh please do enlighten us then if you think he is lying ... what is he lying about? How do you know? Genuinely interested

How do you explain away that he accepted an award for fighting racism in the royal family but he himself now claims that there was no racism.

How do you explain that Meghan said that they married days before the big do with the bishop of Cantrbury but he says that's not true?

My sympathy is with the staff at KP when Haz was there. If what Valentine Low wrote is correct they deserve medals for putting up with it.

This is a brilliant listen

He talks about the monarchy, it's symbolism and traitors

Very funny!

But why would you not see that just having that privilege, and with that the bigger burden of always having to fight for what's the truth is in fact...living a lie? Very few would want that...that's the point. Not everyone wants to live a life governed by what the media can or cannot sell and with no privacy

Omg...quite right !!! Its either weakness or supreme focus (eyes on the prize...status, etc.) That makes you compliant. Until she gets the brunt of negative media attention . .....be interesting to see how they react to that . Say as long as there's something to say about Harry, they'll be OK

Royals have plenty of privacy. We almost never see them unless they are on official duties. Even when 'off duty' photos are snapped of them, the British press rarely publishes them. Harry seems more than happy to let strangers into his 'private' life however, with descriptions of his frigid penis and delight in mocking disabled women.

And rather than, as you rather melodramatically put it "having to fight for what's the truth is", surely it's better just not to let it get to you? Accept that you cannot control what complete strangers think about you, and that ultimately you have to learn to not care, unless it's something really important? All public figures have to do that, not just royals. A huge part of Harry and Meghan's problem is that they are completely obsessed with what is being said about them. Decades from now, no doubt and we'll still be hearing 'their truth' about who made who cry at a toddler's dress fitting.

I agree.... and if the book is anything to go by, hasn't got the balls to drive change. Harry says fuck it I will drive change... I will never be king anyway. There isn't really anyone else with the balls to do this - if you hate it thst much, get out. H has done just that.

I wonder if you get a different idea if you hear Harry read it himself... interesting. He narrates it on audible. I didn't read anything into treating lesser people badly... on the contrary you hear the context in the voice (I think anyway ...? ). Fascinating that people read /interpret things differently

He’s not “driving change”. Anyone who thinks what he’s doing will make any difference to the monarchy is as delusional as he is.

Nope! Just a play on his military career and how proud he is of that and his achievements... found it fascinating as never knew. I have respect for his stance and speaking his truth
But you can read into it what you like

Truthfully - have you read the book? What part of if exactly gives you this idea? I'm baffled by your view... but if you haven't read it I could understand it

@Noangelbuthavingfun Oh right it just sounds like he a massively entitled prick when you read it yourself but when Harry reads it you realise he is actually the reincarnation of St Francis of Assisi. Give me a break

😆well... I wouldn't go that far lol

The definition of the word 'context' is being stretched by the day.

First it meant reading the relevant few pages, then the entire book, and now, it seems, listening to the dulcet tones of the Prince of Eight Hour Cream himself. That's the only way you can truly understand the Wonder of Harold.

It's all about the 'context' when Harry's very own words confirm that just about everything his critics have said is true. And the rest.

Quite right, context here means agree Harry is amazing even though he describes himself as a total wab. It’s like a cult!

I had to read your post twice. Interesting view and I can totally see your point ... comparing his views to normal people.
I suppose I looked at this in comparison to what we know of thd monarchy today - not in the context of normal people and their struggles. So I can see it from.your side and your interpretation .... I suppose I just think life is hard for everyone at some point... who is anyone to judge what you value and what you strive for. Just because they have money and privelegde ... doesn't mean they have to suck up a life of lies to make up for it. God I know I wouldn't want to... thanks for your post
