And now The Sun claims it has managed to get a copy of the Spanish language version of Spare, which is titled En La Sombra, which means 'In The Shadow'.

According to the publication, the dedication page reads: "Para Meg, Archie y Lili... y, for supuesto, mi madre", which translates in English to "For Meg, Archie and Lili... and of course my mother" - with no mention of William or Charles.

Had the Institution told the truth to help them early on, we wouldn't be here. They are telling their story on their time and good for them. They've were silenced by royal protocol for a while. None of the royals tried to help them, why should they care at this point?


You are buying their story.

I hope Spare is clearer than this DailyMail article. Meghan makes a comment about hormones that sets Kate off at the bridal salon, but then somehow (at a different point in time?) William shows up and waves a finger in her face and that makes Meghan cry?


The way I read this is that there was a confrontation after the bridal salon exchange.

Man if someone I barely knew told me I had "baby brain" I would be LIVID. Is anyone else seeing this as William defending his wife?

The 'other side' is constantly getting their side out though leaks to friendly press

It seems obvious that's what it is. Harry is a hero for doing it, but William is a villain.

Violence is inexcusable. If indeed William laid hands in his brother he has a lot to apologize for.

He did.

Yeah, but I thought there was crying during the bridal salon exchange, so I guess I'm just not understanding the sequence. Anyway, I can see how some people would get pissed at that kind of offhand remark being made, especially Kate with her tough pregnancies. But many many many others would just laugh it off.

I'm surprised that Harry put this in his book as a way to make himself and Meghan look good and William and Kate look bad. Maybe he put it in for accuracy and as an admission that they made mistakes too? It certainly doesn't reflect well on either Meghan or Harry. I'd be livid if someone called me baby brain too, whether my best friend or a new SIL.

The DM has side by side videos of Harry doing strenuous military training and lifting / climbing while William gingerly walks along a rope a couple feet off the ground with a few men keeping him steady!

Regardless of the truth of who is strong / weak, it is clever editing and good for a laugh!

And what's with Harry calling his therapist because William hit him?



Kind of a weird statement given their young ages at the time of Diana's death. One does wonder how she would have handled this dynamic had she lived, but she herself was very similar to Harry after all.



Good point; I should not have stated in this way, given that no one knows the horrific emotional impact the loss of their mother at such young ages had on both boys, and their relationship with each other.

But Charles should consider himself a massive failure as their father. He clearly cared far more about his potential role as king than he did about his own kids.


I’m no fan of Charles, but what do you expect? He had massive failures for parents, too, clearly. Look at their offspring: Andrew the pedo and every kid got a divorce.

That’s actually a really good point that I never thought of! They are such hypocrites. But it’s all about revenge and money so…

Inexcusable? I don't know, some brothers still wrestle, even as grown-ups. Should they? Probably not. People do lots of things they probably shouldn't do.
