Assigning them responsibility for UK national security is a bit much, don't you think? They're well on their way to becoming C-list celebrities. Who really cares abut any of this drivel, beyond the mild entertainment offered by salacious petty gossip.

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.


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



How could the money and revenge possibly have been worth the end of your relationship with your only brother? I don't care how much you resented being "the spare," it is simply not worth it.


What did Harry actually want of William? To change their birth order? In every aspect of life (like it or not), there is a hierarchy.



I think he wanted his family/the institution to protect him in the same way William was protected. It's an understandable desire, if not realistic.


+1

He literally says in the 60 minutes clip “I want a family, not an institution.”

What do people not get about this?? Makes perfect sense. It’s never a good idea to so clearly treat one sibling better than the other. And don’t give me any Bs about this being the royal family. It doesn’t matter, they don’t “have” to do things that way.


Only one person can inherit. That's a fact of life. Life that has dealt Harry rather a good hand. Older brother is being raised to lead, younger to support him.

He could have had his family if he played by the rules.

This book virtually guarantees he'd never be welcome back.


Harry didn’t want to inherit. He just didn’t want the family to leak negative stories about his wife to the press in order to shield themselves from other stories (like keeping Andrew around). William clearly did this through Jason Knauf. Knauf admitted it in a deposition.

Is this addressed in the book? Because this is a point I'd take seriously.

I do not understand why a substandard human as Charles can become King, just because of his birth? THere is no need to have a monarchy in a democracy. If these jokers are wealthy on tax payer dime, then so can Harry and Meghan be. They lost their collective minds because of Meghan being half black.


Are you for real? Sure, write a big fat check to them. Take food out of your kids mouths to do so.

I don’t get why so many people on here ignore Harry’s basic complaint about this. Or the fact that it was his own father and brother doing this to him. What a betrayal. How would you feel if your brother trashed your new wife to the entire world?!

On more everyday level, how would you feel if your sibling spread a negative rumor about your spouse around to your extended social circle? You would say, “oh that’s fine, she’s two years older than me so whatever she wants” ??

+1 What a great idea! Super kind of you to help them out with the mortgage payments on their 15 million dollar Montecito home. They truly need your assistance.

Idk. But he’s obviously a rapist and obviously still around. He was invited to King Charles’s Christmas celebration. Charles has promised to continue paying his security. Not Harry’s though. That’s a step too far!

My problem is I don’t believe Harry or Meghan because they lie. Her lies were substantiated in court. You’re misrepresenting Knauf’s deposition as well.

Harry lives in California. He can provide for himself, outside of the UK.

BRF are racist AF.

And so is most of the white people around the world. UK, USA, Australia.

They do not want to embrace Meghan. And they knew that Harry was more popular than Will.

They are an ugly and evil family.

I think Charles is continuing to pay for his security because he is retirement age and spent most of his life as a working royal. There is a difference, even if I think he's scum. I do want to know if the book specifically addresses this though, since it's clearly more important than the petty squabbles being released thus far.

Meghan was told to write the letter and the royals would get it to her father securely with no leaks. Jason later admitted to leaking the letter. William continued to employ him. It’s common sense what happened.

Hin, everyone is racist, in the US and UK and all over the world. The good thing about the internet is how democratic it is, how it allows everyone to see how everyone is racist.

The BRF wisely didn't want to embrace an American. Can't imagine why...

If H wanted a family, why not embrace M's? Oh wait, she's on the outs (or paying them). How is this different?

As far as leaks, M was leaking so much she couldn't hold water. But no one else can leak? GMAF

These two deserve what they get.
