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.


Of course he didn't want to "change the birth order." God, I don't think he envies William in any way and barely tolerated his royal duties, given what happened to his mother. And after finding other things that gave him more happiness: his military service, his philanthropies, and now his wife/kids. He absolutely expected his brother and father to protect his family and they didn't, going as far to remove their security detail once they decided to step away. Were they entitled to pull it back? Sure. But it makes them look petty and vindictive, and left them open to security breaches. Jesus, Tyler Perry had to step in to help them when their own family couldn't be magnanimous enough to keep them safe. It's absolutely grotesque.

While there are not doubt different recollections on the two sides re: some of the details, I 100000% believe Harry and Meghan. There are plenty of examples of hideous behavior by the Royal family to know what they are saying is true. Good for them for stepping away. Protecting their family. And of not longer sitting back and being the punching bags and telling their side.


H&M could have stayed in England (even as non-working Royals) and lived at Frogmore House and had security. They chose to move to the US, out of the jurisdiction of the British government. If they didn’t think through the consequences of that, that’s on them. They said they wanted to be independent and make their own way (except for the titles, and the police protection, and the Royal family sticking up for them in the press…). Choices have consequences.


Well, they're making more money now than in Britain. So, yeah! You're right, choices have consequences .


They didn't think of that? How compassionate. Is that the remnants of the holiday spirit pouring through?

Regardless, they are family. We're not talking about a paycheck. We're talking about security for their son/brother/grandson, even if they don't give sh-- about M. You're disgusting.

The stories about Meghan had an overtly racist component to them. Straight outta Compton? Baby Archie portrayed as a monkey?! Gross.

Racism is way worse than calling someone Waity (which she in fact was!)


The same two stories recycled over 5 effing years. Find a new tune. Or find additional examples BESIDES Straight Outta Compton and the fired BBC loser who posted the monkey pic. Go on now.


Gone on yourself, dumba--. This has been covered ad nauseum. And a litany of them were posted on the screen of the recent Netflix documentary. And you can find lots of them online.

DP: Well, there’s being welcomed into the family by a relative wearing a racist brooch, on up to the recently published trash by Clarkson. That might not be racist by your standards though.

No. They. Weren’t. You complete lousy liar - BOTH those stupid stories were prominently featured because they had NOTHING ELSE to carp and moan about. You are a liar. They are liars. Congratulations, you have lots in common!

No way. So tired of his poor little rich boy complaining.

Yes, a relative so far from the inner circle as to be in Siberia, who is older than dirt, was a dick and taken to task. And…?

Is Jeremy Clarkson secretly William or Charles? He’s a noted bag. How is this relevant to the purportedly relentless coverage before they left, if it occurred in 2022?

Calm down, Sally. “Disgusting!” Oh, heaven forfend! Can you please cite other examples where members of this family take repeated, public dumps on the institution, leave it with many a ponderous statement, settle down in a non-Commonwealth nation, and get millions of dollars of paid security? Please give those names. Thanks.

It's almost like Harry wants to burnish his credentials as a bona fide idiot. Only that can explain the story of his first sexual encounter, and a helpful explanation of penile frostbite at William's wedding. Like, WHYYYY? The Queen would be mortified at that. Actually all of us are mortified to read this..

He’s like just like us! Well, not the us that have relationships with our families and could graduate college without bribing instructors. Oh, also not like the us who would never describe military killing in specific number or with an ability to chess (I’ll pay anyone ten trillion dollars if they make up convincing stories about Harry’s chess expertise.) He’s like the us who think seals can sing back and forth to our virginal 30something divorcee savior-wives or the us who thinks scamarama mediums can connect us to our dear dead mothers. I mean mummys. He’s like that us! Totally relatable.

Also, he had his therapist on speed dial but they claim no one could help
Meg when she was allegedly ready to kill herself? I find that very hard to believe.

It”s his way of tarnishing the Monarchy, bringing it to the gutter level. If he can’t have it he will burn it down, and burn himself too in the process. He is consumed by envy.

Willy broke his necklace, that surely is an emergency.
