Happy Birthday, Spare!

[EncantoSpice]

It’s the one year anniversary of the release of Spare, how are you all celebrating?!

In all seriousness, a year on what impact do you think the book has had on the Royal Family and the Sussexes?

In my opinion it clearly did very well commercially but in popular culture it became a bit of a joke. In terms of the RF I’m not sure it made much difference - to people who already didn’t like them it confirmed what they already believed, to people who did like them it was more evidence that Harry was no loss. I also think even a year later it has made reconciliation between William and Harry impossible.

I might be called a republican but certainly don't think of him as a poster boy lololol.

I just really really dislike all the hate they both get.

Of course there are but at the end of the day, we all have to work and companies are businesses and will put profit first including companies that are involved in Health and Care.

But what has that to do with writing a tell all book?

I don't see him as a poster boy for republicans.

I'm responding to @Ridemeginger

I see him as a poster boy for an anti drugs campaign a mental health matters charity but not for a republic Britain

Start your own company then. Work for yourself. Be your own master. Take the responsibility on your own shoulders.

No way! I'm retiring soon and I've got a pension to consider. I've always done voluntary work though so that will continue

King Charles does pay both income tax and capital gains tax. None of the royals legally have to pay tax, but they have done since 1993.

It takes time, counselling, therapy and more time.
IMO Harry has too much spare time to contemplate his navel. The devil makes work for idle hands.

But, again, do you think Harry is keen to pay tax? He said he had no money because his inheritance money “was for Archie and Lillibet” so clearly he is in favour of passing on inherited wealth. And, furthermore, why are H&M’s endeavours registered in Delaware? Now, not illegal of course, but very much in the zone of minimising one’s tax contribution.

No you are not - you have been going on and quizzing people about their lives on any comment that they have written which has had f all to do with the topic.

Sometimes it feels awfully like this on here.

Me too @ArcaneWireless ! 🤣
I've been reading all the threads over Christmas but not posting, mainly because it's the same comments over again worded slightly differently!

@ArcaneWireless 😂

So to save time for everyone........ Harry is great and noble everything he's done is not his fault it's all because the royal family are terrible people who did lots of stuff previously and are to blame for everything that happens to us and everyone else !

😂

@ArcaneWireless it definitely is like that - I as much as anyone else will pick up someone if I do not agree with what they say but there are lines to be drawn and this intense and random questioning of people about their private lives just seems odd to me. I question the relevance of it and feel as if it substitutes for lack of anything substantial to say. There have been several private details given by posters on here usually in an attempt to show how valid and worthy they are of comment but I'm not going to quiz anyone about their wine or voluntary work or golden siblings or whatever. It's not relevant.

He could be as well be as greedy as his dad but he is no longer head of state or head of the Church of England.

I think it's the difference between arguing the point and picking an argument with the person.

Anyway you can buy the book cheaply now . Oops sorry wrong image.

Sorry, that's a response to @Notmyhair

Harry has never been any of these things.
