Oh dear.

YIKES. Harry, dude...if this is your thing, whatever. But for your own pride, you don't share this with the world.

Why not? Diana shared with the world that she occasionally consulted psychics. If you want to go there, Queen Elizabeth consulted Billy Graham, and he’s a total charlatan.

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?

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.

yeah. i joke about mommy brain and baby brain with my friends (who are also mothers). it's definitely not up there with the worst things you could say to an in-law.

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.

Presumably a friendly tussle is different from shoving your brother forcefully because you disapprove of his choice of wife. 🙄

yeah, you should probably stop doing that in your 30s/40s. But is it that shocking that adult brothers sometimes revert to their childhood state? not really.

The issue was that Meghan was bullying the palace staff.

If a soon to be wife was mocking was mocking is wife, he wasn't wrong.

I think there was likely already a lot of tension and conflict between them and Kate could tell the spirit in which the comment was intended. We wll know how upset women get when men use hormones to explain how a woman is acting.

I am buying this book just for the Camilla bits. Wicked stepmother indeed!

https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/20948546/prince-harry-accuses-camilla-leaking-stories/

PRINCE Harry has shockingly accused Camilla of leaking stories to the press and claims she launched a campaign to marry Charles to get the crown.

In an explosive section of his biography 'Spare' the Duke of Sussex tells of the King and Queen Consort’s relationship - and how he and William begged their father not to marry her.

The duke says that he and William promised Charles they would welcome Camilla into the family - but the only thing they asked in exchange is that he didn’t marry her.

Harry claimed they approved of Camilla but begged Charles not to get married for a second time following the death of their mother Diana.
Incredibly, he compared seeing Camilla for the first time to the reaction to avoiding the pain of getting an injection by writing "this is nothing, close your eyes and you won’t even feel it".

Revealing the private meeting, he claims Camilla appeared "bored" when they met saying that it was "pure formality" as he was not the heir or a major obstacle but that they had small chat about horses.

In his book, Harry says he pondered whether Camilla would be his “wicked step-mother”.

agreed. but pregnancy hormones ARE a thing, and most people realize that. that said, you don't say it to someone you're not that close to.

Not the worst thing. But it can be used as an insult. And getting a finger wag in response seems appropriate.

Not a great relationship among in-laws. But not the worst. Or at least not then - now it is. SMH

Charles and Camilla had been together on and off since 1970! I am pretty sure she wasn't just in it for the crown given how negatively her affair impacted her life and the extreme amount of hate she got from the press and everyone. They don't even live together now because she likes her peace anad quiet away from the Palace.

I get Harry was 20ish when the wedding happened but this rationale is a little off. His parents had been divorced for ten years and Charles had been with Camilla throughout.

I believe it. Kids never want their parents to remarry, even if the new GF/BF has been around for years. In a memoir, you can choose how to write about events in the past, whether you were upset then and have changed since then. Or not...

Exactly. Imagine if someone said that to you in a work setting!

I really wish she'd addressed this in their documentary on Netflix.

True, without having read the book we don't know is this negative anecdote is followed up by how he currently feels about her and how she makde his father happy etc.
