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 ?

They actually wanted a 50/50 role. But option 5, to leave, was already prepped for the press. Harry asked for 50/50 but Charles and co had already decided they were leaving.

After this, they were told they had 12 months grace period with security. But their security was withdrawn after 3 months with no warning. Charles wouldn't pick up the phone to Harry when security told him they'd been told to leave.

This is for someone who didn't ask to be born into this, and his wife, who was receiving death threats.

No one seems to be quite as outraged about Andrew. Interesting how this all coincided around the same time and people are still angry with Harry and Meghan.

Harry asked for 50/50 and was told “no”. By the Queen

... the queen banned Philip from having beans. William sings “I’m too sexy” when doing the washing up. And Camilla bakes an amazing lemon drizzle

Beatrice drinks Horlicks before bedtime and Edo gives her the side-eye. Edward still has the costumes from It's A Royal Knockout in a shed and hopes to re-enact it someday. Anne and Sir Tim once wrestled each other to the floor over a game of monopoly on Boxing Day.

THATS the book I want.

I believe the monopoly one by the way. 😀

Nobody is complaining about them leaving. People on this thread seem to me to be angry irritated about the whining and hypocrisy of the book. Nobody is irritated about Andrew's whiny, hypocritical book because he hasn't written one. So if you are attempting a suggestion that anyone criticising Harry is an apologist for Andrew, or both, maybe think again.

Not the point of the thread but... there's one section about Katd having a go at Meghan saying : don't worry it's baby brain... and she went mental.
Honestly - what a bitch ? I'm surprised she's so stuck up and shows she can't stand Meghan.

It was the Harkles who published a long winded and pompous 'Manifesto' on their silly website, acting as though their ridiculous demands had been agreed to when in fact there was no way they could be.

And I'm not sure who you mean by 'Charles and co', but the Queen was calling the shots back then, as monarchs tend to do. It was her who turned down their demand to set up their own California royal court. Not Charles. Inconvenient for the fantasy narrative told by Harry and his fans, but the truth.

If it's not the point of this thread why are you bringing it up? There was at least one discussion about this weeks ago.

MrsMariaReynolds · 25/01/2023 19:52

You alright, Meghan? 🤔

Went mental? Were those Harry’s actual words or your hyperbole?

So the actual point of your thread is to big up the Sussexes and denigrate the Waleses. Fantastic 🙄

Maireas · 25/01/2023 19:56

That's right, @IcedPurple
Also, the Sussexes did not have protection withdrawn by the royal family. It's not theirs to give or withdraw!
It's decided by the protection group SO14, part of the Met. It's not going to be left to the whim of amateurs who does or doesn't get protection!
Harry seriously cannot believe that bollocks.
He must know the royal family make no close protection decisions! He's fantasising.

LadyVictoriaSponge · 25/01/2023 19:56

And so what if Kate can’t stand Meghan? she is free to dislike or like whoever she wants, I don’t think a law has been passed where we all have to worship at the feet of Meghan, as much as Harry would like to introduce one.

You’ve blown it now babes, gone too far and exposed yourself as a sh*tposter

Noangelbuthavingfun · 25/01/2023 19:58

I just thought it was comical... we can leave it at that if there's another thread ! Some of you are so easily riled up !
Put another way - saying to someone we are not close enough for you to talk about my hormones is such a ridiculous thing to get upset about ... chill out a bit... no wonder Harry didn't fit in and thought it best to leave ...

I think that's the root of Harry's problem. Everyone else has to adore Meghan or they're absolutely vile human beings.

I remember reading that bizarre 'Manifesto' and rolling my eyes at the claims that they would continue to receive police protection because they are 'Internationally Protected Persons'. Eh no, sweetheart. You don't get to decide such matters.

I have no doubt that it was made very clear to Harry that once they were no longer working royals and representing the queen, they would no longer get official protection. I don't for one second believe it came as a shock to them when the Canadians withdrew their security, except in the sense that for Harry, being told 'no' and not getting his way automatically was a massive shock. I don't think he's got over it yet.

And it's always women who have to be besties. More of that #Be Kind nonsense, always aimed at women. Kate and Meghan had nothing in common other than being married to brothers. Why should they automatically be best buddies, or even like each other?

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 25/01/2023 20:05

Have you had a name change, OP? because you sound remarkably like a poster from last week who was trying to get a WeAllHateKate going under pretence of discussing Spare. The tone of your latest post sounds a bit familiar.

Also, we only have Harry’s account of this incident and his memory is dodgy by his own admission. And we have no idea of the time in which the alleged remark was made, which could considerably alter the effect it had 🤷‍♀️

Indeed. Or even if it happened at all.

Honestly - that's not the intention. We can leave the Kate discussion here if that's best. This is primarily about the view on Harry

@Noangelbuthavingfun
Discussion back to Harry? You're the one who called Kate a bitch and stuck up.
Which is hardly pleasant or necessary.

Not just Harry's problem either, judging by the OP's posts.
