Spare

Based on the excerpts I’ve read it reads like a YA novel. Like a Judy Blume book.

She apparently has the patience of a saint. She's been dragged through the mud but she's coming out smelling like a rose. She played the long game and it's working to her benefit. Just goes to show how much her experience and instincts worked to her advantage.

They are scraping the barrel of grievances, we’re at lipgloss level now.

LOL! That was a weird thing to include....I don't know a single 40 year old woman who would ask to borrow lip gloss from another woman.

A lot of the little stories that they shared in the Netflix doc and in the book make me think Meghan does this stuff on purpose. "I hug!" "I wear ripped jeans!" "I talk to my girlfriends like this!"......just feels like she purposely tried to push the envelope to create some narrative of stuffy Brit vs. cool American.

I wonder if the palace is breathing a sigh of relief. They are going to come out winners in all this now that people are seeing what they were dealing with. They don't need to even say anything. The books speaks volumes about Harry, and not in the way he probably hoped.

+1 Having worked in middle schools for many years, the complaints and stories about lip gloss and circumcision and falling on a dog bowl sound very familiar to those of that age group.

My husband teaches 7th grade and it reminded me of the stories he tells about his students. Add to that disclosing killing 25 Afghans and referred to them as chess pieces. Soldiers never discuss that. Only someone who is stuck in a self-centered middle school mindset would. How could he not think of the long term consequences of disclosing that due to the increased security risk for him and his family.

He sounds like a classic case of arrested development. His mother's death came at the worst possible time. Maybe William, being a bit older, was better able to move forward.

We'll never get a tell all book from William, but I wonder about his mental health since he was his mother's keeper, and Diana used him as her confidant. That must really mess with your head.

Most soldiers don’t write memoirs. I didn’t read the book but the excerpt I saw seemed like Harry was writing about how traumatic it was to take those lives.

It's very sad for Harry. You have to wonder how much more he can take and the negativity and blow back from this book fiasco might push him over the edge. He seems very unwell and seems to have people pushing him to make bad decisions. It's uncomfortable to watch all of this go down the way it is. The palace had it's work cut out for them to position him as a goofy lovable hero and now that image has been destroyed.

Kate sounds cold and uptight. That’s about it.

That's your takeaway? You're missing the forest for the trees.

I don't think he is fragile or vulnerable or unwell. He sounds more immature and petty. I think the negativity will just get eaten up in his teen angst where no one understands him.

Yes, from one side with a vested interest.

I think we're sort of saying the same thing. But now much more "misunderstood" can he be before he snaps? Where does all this lead to?

Well it is 100% self-induced, so apparently, he thrives on it.

I think he lies/exaggerates a lot. I am not sure I believe that he killed 25.

Meh, I have the exact opposite opinion of them both. And in the end, the RF looks petty and vindictive, as they usually do. The RF sycophants on here are hilarious as well as ignorant of all of the things that family has done that are self-serving, racist, hateful, vindictive to members of their own family. It's laughable, actually. H and M's treatment fits that pattern and is why I believe it. Good for them for giving them the middle finger.
