I doubt 99% of people posting here have any intention of buying it to support someone's fancy lifestyle. You can help an actual homeless eat a meal with that money.


Buying a memoir = supporting someone's fancy lifestyle . I'm loving the desperation . Too late .


People are often interested in reading celebrity gossip on internet but most aren't interested enough to read a book about or by them.


I absolutely will not but it, but will be happy to borrow it from the library next year if I remember it. It will still be trashy then. I just can’t give them a dollar.


Why would you borrow it from a library? So you're interested ,arent you ? one more thing : Your taxes pay for the library , so YOU are paying for it .


This is the dumbest argument on this thread yet. Congratulations.


Add rabid continent of Africa defender to that list.


Add impossibly ignorant maga-esque poster to the list. Reacting angrily because they're being called out on their stereotypical ignorance. From time to time turn on the national geographic, discovery Channel where you might learn a thing or two .

2) Meghan was never cut out to be an obedient princess. She was/is a nice but ambitious and hard working woman with a vision of what she wants out of life, a clear feeling about what she believes is wrong and right, and an unwillingness to compromise herself entirely for anything or anyone. And in the end, this clashed with the institution and doomed her. She was never going to not fight back. And if you admire that quality overall you support her, and if you think she should have been thanking the gods for landing her a prince and keeping her mouth shut as she enjoyed the trappings of the royal life than you hate her.


Meghan thought that the whole institution of the BRF should be bent to suit her because she's so special. And when it didn't, she cried. She was fighting back against what she perceived as slights, but is in fact just reality: you, Meghan, are NOT as important as Kate, because hierarchy. And this hierarchy will not change based on how fabulous or glamorous or popular you are. That's why they get priceless art and you get IKEA. Both of you live in places you do not own and never will.


I mean I think your read is incredibly oversimplified and reduces her to a caricature of a human being. I think any American introduced so abruptly into the institution would struggle greatly. Kate spend YEARS going through royal training while dating and breaking up with Will to be able to tolerate all the indignities with grace and a smile. She was literally being groomed since childhood for it. All of the british royals are, and they're all pretty screwed up!

Meghan had a difficult time with it but the real difference between her and the rest of them is that she just hadn't been taught to suppress it, smile and not talk about it or show it in any way shape or form no matter what anyone does or says to you.
And I say that with EMPATHY for Kate Middleton and Diana Spencer and Camilla and Fergie and Beatrice and Eugenie and Margaret and Anne. It is a brutal world, gilded, but brutal.


But Meghan HAD been offered advice and mentorship on the Windsor way, and she declined. It's not like she was thrown into it headfirst, she chose to dive in despite warnings. Don't you think it's a special kind of arrogance to think you already know all there is to be known, and you know better?


She was thrown in headfirst! This happened over months! Kate went through literal YEARS of blowups, trainings, retreats, breakups, reconciliations, more blowups etc before she was married in. Acting like something that took Kate YEARS to learn was something she could fully understand after a few months, with a MUCH larger press spotlight (Kate went through this before the 24/7 news cycle) is just unfair.


The 24/7 news cycle started in the mid-80s, when Kate was a pre-schooler. And the press spotlight was way bigger on someone who could be the queen one day than on someone marrying the fifth or sixth in line for the throne.


Lol. Do you really think the Brits don’t care about a divorced black American marrying into their royal family? The spotlight has been way way bigger on Meg than Kate. I won’t even mention the personal vendetta some British media personalities have against Meg.


I thought she was biracial? Her dad's entire family is white.




Racist British twats only see her blackness.

Sibling rivalry at its highest level.


That's what you want to believe. He'll always be the grandson of a past queen, son of a current king, brother of a future king, uncle of a future king. The monarchy will always be a part of him, although not as intensely as it was when he was living in the UK. Furthermore , there is a video of him saying he didn't like England that much from years ago, long before the woman you miserable weirdos inexplicably hate entered the picture. So, your demonstrably false assertion that he would've loved to be king is just that: a figment of your imagination.

All the whining belies your assertions.

And this is exhibit A of a weirdo being super invested in a stranger. They are money hungry cretins and you have bad taste in people.

Your taxes paid for the roads that took them to the airport to board their private planes, so YOU are paying for their lifestyle!


Yes I am. Hence , I'm not making idiotic comments like saying I won't buy but I'll get it from the public library . Sigh.


Just, no. Maybe you should read more books and learn how to use punctuation in addition to learning how to argue coherently. Do you even know where your nearest library is?

Nope. I don't owe you anything . I'm assuming you're a good writer or at least you consider yourself as such. Somehow, nobody is handing you seven figure checks to ghostwrite and, most importantly, you have no best seller to show for your so-called writing skills. Sucks to be you .

Thanks for admitting that you're ignorant. Next time refrain from venturing into topics you know nothing about . This isn't a bake sale .

I hate how off topic this is getting. My post with an interview with prior biographer Tom Bower - actually talking about and contextualizing the context of the Spare leaks - was struck. Sorry, was that too factual for the attack troll? Too connected to the actual thread topic?

Bower was interviewed and gave context to the specious claim posted multiple times here about a William affair, and explains some of the apparent disgust towards Meghan and Harry. Minute 35. Mods: this is all literally about public, published book leaks and may be of interest to people actually discussing Spare, and not each other.

Is double spacing around punctuation your calling card? It's obvious which posts are yours. Will make it easier to just scroll past them from now on since you add nothing to this conversation. Sorry your hero Harry has been exposed for the buffoon he is and is a global laughingstock. Now run along and do your homework. Place closer attention in your English class.

Like telling the world about penis frostbite?


He told a story about telling his dad a story. And that his dad found the story amusing. His dad King Charles who is also famous for being recording saying he would like to be a tampon for his affair partner (aka Queen Camilla). This is not really dragging the monarchy down from its exalted state.


You got the story wrong. Charles never wished he was camilla's tampon. He said knowing his luck he would come back as her tampon. Big difference.

"“You can’t underestimate how angry he’s felt about being controlled within the confines of the institution for so long. What he definitely doesn’t want to do any more is live thinking, ‘What does it look like from a public relations angle?’ He’s not thinking ,‘How will I come across?’ He’s thinking, ‘F*** this, I’ve lived a life for so long where I’ve been controlled for so long’. People need to take a step back and ask why he has done it. Many will be asking if he’s genuinely OK. We know he isn’t. He’s damaged and one way to deal with it is to write a book.”

These two deserve what they get.


it may be a long time coming, but eventually, her mom will die and they'll find out how alone they've made themselves.



They won't be together at that point.


Exactly. And she might be on her second or third husband by then. Oh, I forgot, H is her second husband! Make it her third or fourth.

His dad is on second wife . So....?


You are really stupid. Diana died sugar plum.

Diana died after they were divorced. Camilla is the (mistress turned) second wife.


Everybody knows this, why are you stating the obvious?

Reading comprehension issues?


Yes, you must have them.
