[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interjecting here - do you truly think Prince Charles and Camilla "planted" bad stories about William and Harry? [/quote]

According  to book: There are office systems, their staff,  and yes, Harry indicated numerous times in which they were the only ones to know something. Secondly, she apparently was using his issues as a way to deflect her bad press. Stuff only Charles and she knew. [/quote]
I have [i]not[/i] read the book yet (still a ways down my library hold shelf) but this had to have stung when it happened. Just absolutely horrible.

Those who actually have read the book: now that it’s been a few weeks at least, do you still like the book? Sometimes when I finish a book I love it or hate it and then a few weeks later I feel differently about it. [/quote]

Yes. Actually I like the book even more, and plan to read it a second time at some point. The first time I read it, I was reading it more for interesting content— as Harry himself said: I wanted to find out how Diana’s boy was doing, and, I admit, hoping for a happily-ever-after resolution.  The book is actually MUCH more powerful than that. It offers glimpses of a type of life that few have been privy to. More importantly  though, it’s an insightful memoir documenting grief, loss, certain types of neglect…. in a life that has been lived since birth in the often noxious public eye.  The next time I read it will be as an invaluable psychohistory.  [/quote]

Diana's boy is doing very well, indeed.  He has graduated from Saint Andrew's University, married a fellow student, attended Sandhurst and then completed helicopter training with the RAF. For two years he did search and rescue missions for the ambulance services in Wales and then returned to England to take up duties with the royal family.  During that time, he and his wife have had three children, who attend a school near their home at Adelaide Cottage.  He was received made the Prince of Wales and his wife, the Princess of Wales.

This son used the grief, loss, cerrtain tpes of neglect in a life lived in the often noxious public eye to gain perspective on his life.  Rather than using alcohol, cocaine, hallucinogenic drugs, and marijuana to self medicate, he availed himself of the therapy offered to him rather than resist it as his younger brother did.  For your invaluable psychohistory, you will have to read the book by his brother.  You seem the sort who appreciates the victime rather than the achiever.[/quote]
