I wonder if Harry is a decent bloke or not. It’s  hard to trust all bad things that comes out about him.

 

what do you think, guys?

Don't follow the royals much, but what I have seen and read, Harry seems like the most normal, grounded one of the lot.

 

Only plus about growing up and living in that family, household, was not being poor.  Aside from that, reads like hell.  Father is total waank, brother is a bigoted snob, uncle is a perv, and to top it all off, your mother kraps out early when you're only 12 yrs old.  Tell me he at least had a dog to talk to.

 

Talk about being all alone.  Good for him, and for having a best seller.  Kind of shuts up all the royal worshippers who state 'he's nothing, and nobody cares' ????

[Credo]

I rushed out and got the book the first day it was on sale.  It's well written and informative.

Are you sat there waiting for Charles, Camilla and William to reply to the claims made in the book ?

   The Royal Family don't do that kind of thing , although Queen Elizabeth did  state that Harrys previous claims were not true , politely stating that "recollections of events do vary" , which is politely stating he was lying about what his previous claims of what  happened 

It has already been reported that they will respond to any claims that find objectionable.

Don’t you you follow the U.K. media?

The PA was re-hired a few days after her resignation.

On the face of it would appear to be a strange decision considering the PA had disclosed/ leaked sensitive information.

 

Its a bit rich coming from Harry , him accusing others of leaking "sensitive information" , he has just released 400 pages worth of sensitive information and he seems to have made incorrect claims about Camilla , accusing HER of leaking info  .

  Harry has been releasing numerous bits of sensitive information to the media about various people

I think you all are getting mixed up between sensitive and salacious.

That's a generous interpretation of what is actually stated in the book. 

In the book Harry States that William did not leak the information. Leaving the reader to conclude the leak must have come from Camilla or her team. ( which it did).

Harrys complaining about leaked information......................when hes just published a 400 page book which has a huge amount of leaked information ?

Meghan and Harry's biographer Omid Scobie launches attack on Royal Family's 'silence

 

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's biographer has launched a scathing attack against the Royal Family's "silence" over the bombshell claims made by the Duke of Sussex. Harry's new book Spare, as well as a series of television interviews he conducted to promote it, has seen him make stunning accusations against the Royal Family. Buckingham Palace has not commented on any claims made by him, but that stance has been angrily torn apart by Omid Scobie.

Already given you two links reporting on Charles and Willie being prepared to robustly refute unfounded claims. 
 

They have not done so as yet…hmm, maybe no “unfounded” claims have been made…

[Mac Mickmanus]

They could turn the book into a TV series:   The Fresh Prince of Spare Heir ?

Harry must be so proud of himself. He's also been bragging about deliberately targeting and then calling off a hit on his own father. Wow, what a man.

 

 

No doubt that passage was taken "out of context" ????

The older lady who Harry lost his virginity to behind a pub has told her story  

 

MY ROYAL ROMP 

I’m the ‘older’ lady who took Prince Harry’s virginity. It was only 5 min, I DID slap his bum & I remember his underwear

[Credo]

 I am a little over 1/2 through the book.  It's a good read, for those that are interested.  A lot of the salacious stuff is pretty minor and fits well into the context in which it is written.  Some of it is just calling out the Media and how wrong they got things.   

 

So, far, much of the underlying theme is the paparazzi and how invasive they were.   How much they lied.  He sets the story straight, and his version makes a lot more sense than the tabloids.  At least to this point in the book, he has been pretty kindly and understanding of his father and William.  

 

He has a few beefs with the palace not doing more to protect him at times, but he is also aware that it was sort of 'everyone for themselves' when it came to the press, and he was the one who often ended up under the bus.  He admits to making a lot of mistakes.  He talks a lot about the disappointment to the family that he wasn't more intellectual, smart, a better school, etc.  

 

His time in the military is particularly exciting to read.  He really loved the military, he loved the action, and it seems it was some of his best times.

Funny that this "older woman" is actually younger than his wife. I'd imagine Markle isn't too happy about that ????.

 

Good to see that he's confirmed his family (and Susan Hussey) aren't actually racist though. Better late than never.

When it comes to his paternal grandfather, no amount of ghost written words will roll back on his well publicised racism.

Harry probably realizes he needs to focus on his own racist incidents before throwing stones at others who were raised in a bygone era.

 

Glass houses and all that.

He's dead, hanging him now would be a pointless exercise. Then again, I have never supported the death penalty, even for dead people.

 

Were all rich people offensively arrogant and ignorant in the early 20th century? Is that a reasonable excuse? Not in my book, but I guess we all have our standards.

It's not about standards... I imagine that yours could be easily topped 

 

Culture and 'the time' provide context for me. Warren Mitchell, the Comedians (in general), Churchill (obviously not a comedian) , Frank Carson, Jim Davidson et al .....none would be acceptable today.

It's somewhat ironic that the first name on your list is Warren Mitchell, that great humanitarian socialist and all-round top bloke.

It certainly seems to be taking up a lot of prime real estate in UK book shops, alongside other similar releases.

 

Not sure I'd sacrifice the relationship with my family for money, but each to their own.

 

 

And I believe that everyone will struggle with schoolwork at some point in their lives. As a consequence, having a reputable provider that will come to the rescue in a critical situation. I discovered the nursing essay writing service and utilized it to prepare for my nursing tasks.

  

It's a great book
