Prince Harry’s book

[Anonymous]

Joint family system doesn't work well, no matter you are prince or a pauper and monarchy is shrinking with no large space for spares.

They've other family members, Kate's family (William has known them since he was 19) and their lifelong friends as they attended college together. Harry on other hand only has Meghan.

You believe in a lot of conspiracy theories also, don't you?

That a foreign born prince can run for president? Ok.

If she really complains that Meghan was out of line for mentioning her hormones because “we don’t know each other well enough to mention hormones” that poor woman is terrified of opening up to anyone in case someone finds out something. She’s insecure as well.

That's a really interesting idea. I think, no matter how you look at it, there's a lot of dysfunction going on. It'll be interesting to see how Kate's kids turn out. At first glance, they benefit from having 'normal' maternal family members. But, I have to wonder how normal they are if they're so supportive of Kate living in the environment she is and raising kids in it.

Remember all of this is coming from Harry's "truths" and is not necessarily reality. He has it out for Catherine and makes her look bad at every turn. His comment that Catherine was taken aback when Meghan wore fashionably ripped jeans and when she met Catherine for the first time and that Catherine did not full into Meghan's full embrace is along the same lines as the hormone story. Harry seemed to get along with Catherine very well before he brought Meghan into the family, and Meghan seems to have turned Harry against Catherine. What evidence to you have that Catherine is a poor woman who is terrified of opening up to anyone or is insecure, other than the ghost written words of her drug addled brother in law who clearly has an ax to grind with his family.

William has often said that Catherine's family has had a good influence on him because he feels comfortable with them. When he, Catherine, and Harry started HeadsTogether for mental health support, William cited Catherine's brother, James, as people who were coping with their mental health issues with family help.

It is trendy to glom onto celebrities who blather on about their dysfunctional families and all the trauma and suffering they have endured because of their privileged lives, but on the other side there is a family that is quietly enduring the slings and arrows thrown at them b their miserable family member.

Look at the source of the comments rather than a woman who is working in her husband's family business and trying to raise three children who give every evidence of being normal children who will do just fine in life. You might worry more about how your children will turn out given their conspiracy minded parent.

Oh come on! I think most people with an ace to grind would come to different conclusions than you. He wasn’t judging Kate, or criticizing her. He was showing that Megan and Kate were very different people with different styles and approaches. He’s describing why they didn’t immediately gel and where the source of the disconnect was. At no point does he say, Kate’s an idiot/stuck up/hateful because she is more formal than Megan. That’s just your take.

You sure can shed your birth family, shed your friends, shed your in-laws, shed your ex partners, leave your home but you are never free. You'll probably make similar mistakes with new partners, children and friends. Running from people only works if you become monks.

You are speaking only for yourself. Cutting off toxic family, friends and partners works wonders for most people’s health, both mentally and physically.

Except it’s a “you problem.” When it’s your father, cousins, best friend (remember her bestie maid of honor - gone), and your spouse’s family.

Not to mention the ex-husbands, boyfriend she dumped after she returned from her trip to Botswana with Harry, and the numerous palace aids (including one tough cookie who worked for Hillary Clinton) that Meghan also dumped.

Who is this alleged bestie maid of honor? Where’s the evidence for all these claims?

Her presence made it clear to him that he and his family aren't equal to Willam's family as William is a crown prince, so is his son and his wife is next queen. While Harry and his family are no more important than Andrew and his family.

Harry always knew that and maybe always resented it. But he used to like Kate.

And he also used to like William. If you read the same book I did you’d see that there is a lot of love between them. It’s complicated.
