‘Spare’ by Prince Harry

I was never going to buy or read the book, but Audible have just offered me a free credit, with which I can pre-order Spare, written and narrated by the man himself.
That must have been a time consuming task and a chance to revisit everything he wrote and suffer it all over again. I wonder if it will be unabridged?
Would you take up the offer?
I think I’ll spare myself the trouble.

Maybe explains why Meghan is intent on accumulating vast wealth. That or she’s just greedy!

Unlike the RF.

:copied and pasted;
Commenting on the announcement, British journalist Richard Eden said, Prince Harry may not have written his memoir (that honour goes to ghostwriter J.R. Moehringer) but at least he will have read it: he's recording the audio book, to be released on January 10.1 day ago

so reading the ghostwriters words.

Of course he has a ghostwriter.
Most people’s autobiographies are written with a professional writer.

Reading it himself is a mistake.
That should be done by a professional too.
Many, if not the majority, of audiobooks read by the writer are unlistenable; the reader really makes or breaks an audiobook.

King Charles is also a Father, who presumably loves his sons.
He now has to read, because he will want to know what is said, a book which thousands will also be reading, which will be an in depth look at his family and how in the eyes of his son, he has been failed.I think this is so unfair, especially at a time when the King’s Mother has just died, and Charles will be assuming the duties of a King.
If you put aside the royal aspect, and imagine it is your son doing this, how would you feel?

I'd mostly be astonished to find I had a son.

Should any of my DSs decide to write their autobiography I hope I would read it and accept that their view of what happened in their life is valuable and may not completely match what I thought was happening. If they criticised me I hope I would have the guts to say sorry and accept their criticism.

Quokka You forget that before his marriage - and during his engagement and the early days of his marriage, almost everyone liked and admired Prince Harry. his military service, where, unlike Prince Andrew he was liked by those who served with him.

All but a few, felt that his marriage to a mixed race woman, with out intending, represented the multicultural society we are and now the Royal Family was joining it.

In fact everything in the garden was rosy, Until the behaviour of Prince Harry and his wife changed. he decided to cease to be a working royal, he wanted to live in the USA, we were sorry to see him go, but most of us shrugged our shoulders, then he and his wife started whingeing, endlessly whinging, about everything. Lack of money as they signed million dollar contract after million dollar contract. There families, despite families on both sides doing all they could to build bridges - and then they decided to make their living by telling their truths, mostly doubtful and frequently shown to be false.

Can you not see why the utterly disillusioned British people, or most of them, are fed up with the pair of them?

Could you please point out where I might find information on both families trying to build bridges? I certainly have never seen that.

William 'phoning Harry to see if he and Meghan wanted to join him and Kate as they looked at the floral tributes to their GM is one example Summerlove.

they had to do that because it became known that harry and meghan had planned to go out alone and had notified us tv for camaras to be there. on the news at the time.

How,does anyone know that a phone call was made, though?

Oh yeah! Great PR stunt orchestrated no doubt by the Firms's PR team. Come on a walkabout in front of the world's media and thousands of people is supposed to heal a rift? Not in my experience. Don't we all have family members who are terribly polite at public functions like weddings and funerals but you know quite well they are at daggers drawn in private?

What some see as a PR stunt, others see as an act of inclusion Glorianny.

If that was the case lemsip it casts H & M in a very bad light doesn't it. Notifying US tv so that they could be filmed paying their 'respects' to H's GM.

And that’s the problem.
How do we know anything, except what we actually see, rather than hearsay spread by the whispers method. You could see the Oprah business, or the Diana interview, though that is now said to have been manipulated.
Those who think H&M have behaved badly will believe anything that proves them right. Those who think they have been badly treated will believe anything that supports that view.
It keeps GN busy and the magazines and newspapers selling so that means people keeping their mind active and providing jobs in these hard times so at least that’s two positives.

Prince Harry ceased being the Spare immediately Prince George was born.

Princess Charlotte is now the Spare with Prince Louis as the Spare’s Spare I wonder if either of them we’ll write their memoirs of how it feels?

King Charles III may axe Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's titles as punishment for 'going rogue'

Do we want a petulant head of state fixated with nepotism and loyalty or someone who can do a serious job with independence and integrity?

How do you feel about the fact that the RF's every move was on BBC TV every minute for days? That we got to see teenagers standing by their granny's coffin looking sad? That we got scenes of sad crowds and lined up tractors? And that blooming pony.

It's all a PR stunt. All of it.

There's a huge difference between events being broadcast because tv cameras were, there as opposed to American tv cameras being notified in advance to ensure that they would be there volver, if that was the case.

I'm sure her GC looked sad because they were. Their GM had died.

For the third or maybe 4th time

Would you and the Daily whatever like to take a moment to read the Deprivation of Titles Act 1917.

Or do you and the Daily whatever prefer to spout anything that
makes a sound bite🙄

Do we want a Head of State elected by people who can’t be bothered about Parliamentary Acts?

Yes indeed volver. It was a very sad time for the royal family, and also for thousands upon thousands of ordinary people. Although I would prefer a republic, I can understand that people were sad and needed to grieve in their own way. The press have reported that the Queen planned her own funeral down to the last detail. It was certainly very ostentatious in my view, but it was what she wanted and as our HofS who reigned for seventy years, I think that was okay. I hope our next state funeral will not be so ostentatious or expensive.

It was a coincidence that Harry and Meghan were here, as they were apparently appearing at a couple of engagements to do with Harry’s charities. It was reported that they refused an invitation to Balmoral to see the Queen. If that is the case, Harry will have to live with that for the rest of his life. It was also reported that Harry arrived later than the others at Balmoral because he wasted time trying to persuade Charles that Meghan should go with him. Whatever, he was the last to arrive. It was reported that Harry turned down an invitation to dine with his father and brother at his father’s Scottish residence on the night of the Queen’s death and he was photographed leaving Balmoral early the next morning.

Whilst being fully aware of the foibles of the press, it seems unlikely to me that all of this has been completely made up, it is likely very near the truth and has been leaked. Some of it is verifiable by photographs. I think therefore that the royals have reached out and been rebuffed at every turn. It is also reported that Charles is very saddened by the rift between himself and Harry. As a parent, I’m sure he is devastated.

Quite!

Meghan has form on notifying the press in order to be photographed. She appeared at the memorial of children shot in a school in Texas. Parents interviewed were not happy about her ‘mission’ to the memorial as they said she was nothing to do with any of them and was intruding. The press filmed her there. How did they know she would be there and at what time without notification? Photographers followed Meghan and Harry in an American serviceman cemetery on the British Remembrance Day (America has a different date) and photographed them there. How did photographers know they were there unless they were notified? Photographers followed Meghan and Harry on a charity food give away during Covid. How did they know they were there unless they were notified? There are other examples but you get the picture.

By the way, I’m not a hater. I just like the truth.
