[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suspect most people's opinions are already set before reading the book and didn't change afterwards.

I did grow up in the 1990s. I remember extensive coverage of all royal scandals major and minor. It started in the late 1980s. Meghan's coverage when married to Harry was mild compared to the flak that a number of royals got. Fergie was devoured by the press. So was Diana. On the other hand, the royals weren't innocent themselves either. Nor is Meghan.

I find it intriguing Will is able to navigate life more easily than Harry despite facing the same set of pressures. Having a different kind of wife clearly helps. And Will is brighter. Harry is not bright. Harry had a hard time despite his privileges but he is not capable of balancing the two. Other royals found a way to slip into a quieter life. But Harry courts the press and fuels their fire in venting at them, so there's a symbiotic relationship going on and he's too dim to understand it. Announcing you're stepping down for privacy and your family's own well-being and then spending the subsequent three years giving toxic interviews and publishing explosive (or not so explosive) memoirs isn't the way to do it. And this, I daresay, is why most people are tired of the duo and he's lost a great deal of sympathy he might have had.

I guess there's one more "bombshell" to come in Meghan's memoir and then what's left? Hopefully Harry figures out the best way to the happiness he seeks is stop moaning, stop seeing spirits that don't exist, keep his mouth shut and getting on with life. [/quote]

You didn’t actually read the book did you? Just made these statements based on your own biases. And driving the press kool aid that he’s “dim”. Read the book.[/quote]
