I'm #7 on the waiting list at my library. Idk how many copies they have but I don't buy hardcover books anymore. I prefer kindle so I can read in bed. After all these revelations tho I'm not sure anymore if I want to read it.
It doesn't seem Harry understands that he has no right to out that woman's humiliation to the world. Did he give a thought about the cost to her? How she'd feel to have his demeaning opinion of her appearance and ordeal spread far and wide? Or is that justified because he's just being honest? Brutal is right.
Didn’t he actually put her name to in the book even if it’s a first name. That’s the thing about Harry he screams about leaks but has no issues whatsoever bringing up private things.
He really doesn't seem to understand that the line should be there for EVERYONE, not just he and Meghan. Caroline Flack's former publicist has spoken out against Harry's comments about her in "Spare" - https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrit...ks-former-publicist-slams-prince-harrys-book/
The ghost writer apparently liked a comment on twitter that said Harry wasI think this comes with the territory when you surround yourself with yes men or others who believe this all went to shit solely because of your race.
There are inconsistencies in what the couple tells the public. One example is Meghan stating in the beginning she had no idea who he was, anything about the monarchy, didn't look him up online. But then in the Netflix series she admits to creeping his instagram (after they were set up but still) and then he apparently writes in the book he googled her sex scenes in Suits. I mean okay lol but also honest. I don't believe anyone with an internet connection these days doesn't google people for one reason or another. It's a great resource and a good way to search for any red flags to save yourself some time and effort.
And the whole schtick she does about the curtsey. And then Harry apparently writes in this book that they practiced her curtsey multiple times before meeting Charles. Harry even told her how to wear her hair and her makeup (the way Charles likes it). I mean that seems like a lot of effort to make a good impression and the right impression. So knowing that do we still believe she didn't know she'd have to curtsy when she met granny for the first time?
So the question I am left with is what came first, the Netflix series or the book? Because it seems like Meghan and their PR team went to a lot of trouble and effort to develop their brand and love story and then Harry grabbed a pen and started telling the world what his penis looks like and how it was frostbitten when Willy married Kate
I am curious what the ghostwriter thinks about Harry after all the time they must have spent together. Does he like Harry or is it just a cultural thing and/or his inexperience writing a memoir for royalty and how some of these things might play out differently with that set versus an actor or politician.
But he is the heir. That's the official title for what he is. "Spare" is not. Spare is a nickname that could be said with humor and as a shared joke or it could be said in a snarky way or even as a pejorative designed to hurt.
I thought he actually was involved in organizing the Invictus Games? I mean that organization wouldn't exist if it weren't for Harry, right?
My mom was born in Dec and always felt that her birthday was a bit of an afterthought and she was born well before the actual day. (This is why I always buy her a separate Birthday and Christmas gift rather than combine them.) So it just depends on whether this will be a good or bad thing for Archie.
Write a memoir! Plenty of us normies do that and some even get paid for it.On a sidenote: I wished I would be paid for spilling the beans over my family! I had so much more to tell than Harry and I LOVE Ikea.
I don't think that's hands-on by any stretch of the imagination. She may have been more involved than her parents and may even have been a good mother. But hands-on means things like actually changing their diapers, helping them with homework, taking them out for special trips around their interests, showing up at all their school things, maybe even volunteering in their kid's school. Things like that. Picking a boarding school that is close to home instead of far away is not what it means to be hands-on.
I think the monarchy is a horrible institution and should be abolished and am constantly surprised by the praise some of them get for "doing their duty" especially when doing that duty hurt people in their own families or was the bare minimum someone could do.
Yes. Diana visited people with AIDS and hugged them. I know some people are young enough not to realize what a big freaking deal that was. But it was. Because of that, no matter what other crap she pulled, I will always have respect for that. And I do think that goes beyond just showing up at events.
He's also going to be on The Late Show with Stephen Cobert on Tues.
Except if you read that article, it doesn't seem like he spilled any dirt. He talked about events that are public knowledge and are now part of history. Not only that, she wrote about it in her own book. Finally, she is dead so he isn't hurting her at all.
But it's hurting her family and, I daresay, Harry would and has objected to similar sorts of stories regarding his mother during the 25 years since her death. He also, as the publicist points out in that article, blames the press for Flack's suicide. He doesn't know why she committed suicide, does he? Did he remain in touch with her after they broke up? Or is he just trying to equate Flack's ACTUAL suicide with Meghan's suicidal thoughts and drawing the conclusion that it was the negative press both received while in a relationship with him that led them down that path?
Agreed, and by my estimation, we've probably been treated to maybe 25% of the book's content. I daresay, though, that if the context was missing so fully, some of their ardent supporters would have shared that in defense of Harry & Meghan already. It's telling that there's been so much silence, so far, from the Sussex Squad, apart from Omid Scobie.
I agree but unless it’s a full apology and Pat agreed to her name being mentioned Harry shouldn’t have mentioned. He also didn’t have to mention Flack. I would imagine her family would prefer the press not to mention her.
They went to day schools and lived at home until they were 8. As attributed to Aristotle and adopted by the Jesuits, "Give me the boy until 7, and I'll show you the man.". Of course, she wasn't the only influence.
Before Charles a lot of royal Children were tutored at home although who knows if that would have changed for Elizabeth if it were not for the war.
The official ghostwriter apparently quit because someone kept interfering. After that, the person in question finished it off themselves, then a lot was edited by the publishers because it sounded too American to be Harry.
Interesting.The official ghostwriter apparently quit because someone kept interfering. After that, the person in question finished it off themselves, then a lot was edited by the publishers because it sounded too American to be Harry.
The fact that the ghostwriter quit has gone around for some time and the ghostwriter apparently confirmed it to multiple sources, albeit unofficially.
Yes, I know, it’s all gossip, and no I can’t prove any of it!
I sincerely doubt Elizabeth would have gone to boarding school at any point during her educational years. She was already 13 when the war broke out. If it had been in the cards, it would have happened when her father became king a few years earlier.
Thanks for sharing @Simone411 - very wise.Here's my deal about the book and everything else regarding the family. We've seen so much covered on the news throughout the years about Princess Diana's death. We've seen personal interviews from Princess Diana regarding her children, William and Harry, Princess Diana's divorce from Prince Charles (now King Charles of course), etc. etc. etc.
The question is regarding the book, Spare. I think at times I might like to read it, and then I don't. Perhaps some personal and private matters shouldn't be written about. I guess it's up to the person writing about it and whether he or she feels it's necessary.
I think of all the scandal and deceit of some of our past Presidents, and it's a lot! I also think about how I could have written a book about my multimillionaire boss and the corporation he owned in my small town. He embezzled through the government, went to prison for five years and still came out as a multimillionaire.
The FBI wanted to put me in a witness protection program until I testified before the grand jury at the Federal Court Building. It was so serious about what he did. He even transferred the money he embezzled into gold bullion and was going to escape on his six-seater two engine plane. The FBI confiscated his plane, however, before he could get away.
His father wanted to adopt my mom when she was 9 years old. It was the depression, and my mom lived in what was practically a shack next door to him. My mom's daddy abandoned them when she was 5. That was in 1939, and he left my grandmother and 3 children. My mom was best friends and went to school with his daughter which was my boss's older sister.
Everyone in my town had high regards for my boss. He had prestige in other words. Even banks in town treated him like "royalty" whenever he showed up. I was also treated with prestige whenever I would walk into the main bank that my boss did business with. The bank president would stop what he was doing to personally greet me.
I could have easily written a book about what happened with my experiences, and it would have had several chapters. It probably would have ended up as a Lifetime movie.
I decided not to do that, however because of the can of worms it would have opened up. I also went to school with his two children which was elementary through high school. I just couldn't do it because of my morals.
I wrote a poem about that very thing which is included in my book of poetry I published in 2007. I guess you could say I wrote poetry about my personal experiences in life which was a good way to do it.
The poem I'm sharing is freestyle and I wrote it December 24, 2005.
I didn't write my novel for that very reason because of the can of worms that would be opened and how many people and friends it could hurt. It's a decision that each of us have to make and realizing the consequences that could follow.
Wait ... two things:
I stand corrected on the use of nitrous oxide in L&D in countries outside the US, though it still shocks me that a medication with potential to over-sedate both mother and infant is just lying around for self administration. Since that appears to be the case, however, and it is a running joke that the partners make use of it, then I don't see how this incident in particular would reflect negatively on Harry in a custody battle or in general. Plus, Harry, Meghan, and their children reside in the US, so California family courts would oversee divorce and custody. Self-reported recreational drug use in another country years earlier is not going to be an important factor; ongoing drug use by a parent that endangers children in the household, if that is alleged, would be.
There are over a hundred people ahead of me on my library hold. I have some Audible credits, so I might use one for the book. I do want to read the book rather than the excerpts, even if the excerpts are real and actual quotes. Context matters. I don't know if some of the bad things Harry reportedly is saying about himself are being said in a context where he recognizes that they are bad and analyzes them or if he is clueless about the fact that they are bad.
The website of the Portland Hospital has pictures of their delivery rooms. In the water birth picture you can see the cylinder on the wall.

Harry already has 4 interviews scheduled for the coming days. Perhaps there will be more. I won't be surprised if there are new seasons of the series and new books
