Popular Post Homburg 1149 Posted January 9 Popular Post Share Posted January 9 The writer of "Spare" doesn't seem to understand, Harry has not got the "booby prize", he has hit the jackpot. Being monarch in the UK is just a chore. The Monarch has to commit all his/her time but has no power. Harry on the other hand has the title, has the prestige, the money & the lifestyle and only a very small risk of having to become monarch. What's not to like? The book shows that the writer does not understand the UK Monarchy. Harry should certainly understand it, so that suggests someone else really wrote the book. I wonder who? 3 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post robertson468 2459 Posted January 10 Popular Post Share Posted January 10 When I was commissioned, I swore allegiance to Queen and Country and her successors and Harry will have done the same thing, which he conveniently overlooks. I also wonder why the Markel Woman does not get on either with her own Family and her In-Laws? Is everyone else such awful people and being unpleasant only to her? One can only imagine what it is like in their household? Yes they have a pot full of money, but I imagine that they spend most of the time revelling in their misery. So sad. 4 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no coincidence that all this has started since the queen died. Their fallibility is being exposed now. On the contrary. Harry's entitled behaviour is making the Royal family look impeccable by comparison. Their policy of "give him enough rope to hang himself" appears to have been a master stroke. With every interview/book/Mockumentary he digs a deeper hole for himself. It all started when he met Markle. She was estranged from her own family and now Harry is estranged from his. I think I see a pattern emerging with this woman. 5 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry isn't in the military now. Nothing he has said is a betrayal of his country or the monarchy. If shutting up to protect a member of his own family in peacetime is a betrayal there's something seriously wrong with your ethics.

Harry and his wife accused "someone" in the Royal Family of having concerns over how dark their child's skin would be i.e. racism. They wouldn't say who it was, essentially casting a shadow over all of them. Now, 2 years later (after the RF has been accused of racism for 2 years) he claims they are not racist and he never accused them of being racist at all (having just collected an award for fighting structural racism in the RF). He let the Queen and Prince Philip go to their graves before attempting to roll back/set the record straight on this. This is a week after declaring "silence is betrayal". What a vile human being he has become . "Unsympathetic" is a very polite way of describing how many British people feel towards him.

Not a fan at all, but if he did at least read the book I strongly suspect he’s done more in that respect than most here who are denigrating him. I neither praise nor denigrate him, I don’t know the man, and everything I do know of him is at least third hand reports, none I would as from the UK’s gutter press, or at least not directly so. As for your presumption that I am a fan and your statement: ’’That would make a lot of sense actually…’’ That’s clearly two presumptions on your part.
