Do you realize that Queen Elizabeth, Princess Anne and Princess Margaret didn't go to college? His mother, Princess Diana, didn't go to college either.

I guess they all wasted their lives.

They were all academic duds, that's for sure. But college is not everything and during their years, only about 6% of folks did go. It's not like America where 60% of the population attends some kind of college, however shabby.

Where did you get 60%? That seems pretty high.

Make that: Couldn’t advance in the military because his location was outed to the press. Complicated by William’s issues with being outranked by his younger brother.

I’m guessing that you mean “tests” not “texts”. If so, I’m guessing that you might know something about “complaining” as an “only means of employment “.

Oh wow you believe all their pr congrats!!

Something like what? Sentebale? The Invictus Games? Co-write a book that has attracted worldwide interest? Establish a globally focused foundation? What exactly do you think Harry “could have done…with is life” that you would regard as more suitable employment?

Clearly he hasn’t done much if he’s still complaining. His only source of income is whining about his family. It’s grotesque.

PP’s percentage was very high. Attainment of a college + degree is somewhere in the 30-35% range.

Wasn’t QEII educated by a governess and learn as you go? I would not call her dumb or uneducated. A degree is not the only way of attaining knowledge or an education.

I read that Harry will narrate the audiobook, which makes it more interesting to me. I won't buy the book so I'll have to wait for it via the library on Overdrive.

Oh that’s awesome if true. I’m definitely buying it the audiobook in that case.

It’s definitely true. Amazon and iTunes both have links up for pre-orders.

Thank you! Just pre-ordered on Audible.

He said he wanted out. Great! I think he is entitled to make that decision and it would probably be the healthiest thing for him and his family. However, if he’s out, then he needs to stay out. Maintaining personal relationships is great, but capitalizing on the royal status he rejected isn’t. Airing his version of the family’s dirty laundry for profit is pretty despicable. They either have to wade into the muck and get into a he said/she said type squabble or try to rise above the allegations and either way, it sullies everyone involved, including Harry and Megan who supposedly wanted to leave the drama behind.

He left and seems to be living his own life. He is writing about his childhood, his mom’s death, surviving her, Afghanistan, Chelsy, Meghan etc.
He has a unique experience and perspective, differing from the palace PR machine. That doesn’t negate his experience. Plenty of people will want to read about it. This faux outrage about dirty laundry is pretty entertaining.

I’m a Canadian anti-royalist and I think this take is very harmful. The BRF takes millions of pounds that could be better used from Commonwealth countries, and I want the world to know exactly what nonsense we are paying for. This isn’t just a regular family and shouldn’t be treated like one.

If Canada wasn’t giving those BRF grifters money I might agree with you. But until that point, let sunlight disinfect everything. Good for Harry for showing everything.

Well according to the Crown, my definitive source , she is what we’d call homeschooled.

Except, it wasn't her mother that was homeschooling her. She had at least one governess who taught at the university level.
