Seems to have fallen very quickly from the news. Haven't seen mention of it in a week or so.

Really wasn't much substance beyond a combination of frustration and spoiled clueless rich boy who couldn't figure out how to grow up. I didn't see anything in it that spoke badly of the royal family, which isn't surprising given how the rest of them seem to manage to function decently. I don't doubt they have their own frustrations but the others didn't need all this controversy to vent. The RF is an institution and all institutions need their rules to function and to make it coherent. The Queen was right when she told Harry the only alternative was to leave, but even Harry couldn't turn his escape into happiness, which tells you the real problem is him, not the royal family or others around him.

Very well written ! I wonder what public opinion about Harry and Meghan will be like 20 years from now.


It was written by a woman whose organization receives funding from Archewell, FYI.


And? Are you familiar with Tuferki's writing? Are questioning her ethics or judgment here? What, in the article, do you disagree with?



She cannot present an objective opinion on this matter if she’s getting paid by Meghan and Harry. I do question her ethics and judgement. She should have disclosed her financial ties to Archewell.



She isn't. It's a real stretch there, buddy.

Except, would've gone mad if I had to hear him say "Not Cot" one more time! -NP


Did he read it himself for the audio book?


Yes, he does read it himself. For anyone wondering Nott Cott is nottingham cottage where many have lived over the years. Pretty ordinary place.

I believe both Michelle’s & Barack’s books were written by them. Both books were quite long and to me at least, enjoyable.


+1 That's because they're both very intelligent people, and note that they didn't throw their families under the bus.

Prove that here. Otherwise, I will assume it's your opinion.


She’s a faculty associate at the Berkman Klein Center, which receives funding from Archewell.


Sorry, she isn't affiliated with that project. She has amazing credibility and credentialing. She isn't receiving any funding from Archewell. Secondly, she's written about a lot of tech topics, about masks, about many things - also not receiving $$ from these companies, or the CDC.


And thirdly. It really doesn’t matter if she did have a connection! It’sa well researched piece with plenty of evidence. (Different poster)

She does not receive a dime from Archwell. Nice try, Willy.

Umm, this op ES is what’s been discussed the last two pages. Keep up.


No, I really am not going through hundreds of responses, . What are you doing with your day? It doesn't describe my time, apparently. Good for you, person of leisure.

It wasn't for them. It was for himself, his family. And the morons who tried to destroy his wife. Fine with me.

Harry just strikes me as such a sad situation because he grew up in that and just seems to both hate it but also be pretty captured by it. And like many people who come from a dysfunctional family, he can’t really figure out a way to live within that family with boundaries. I think at some point he may regret the way that he’s torching his family relationship but, sadly, unlike many people with disfunctional families, he never really can be free of them.


I think she was expecting a different family dynamic and, for certain, one in which there weren't popularity rules. By the time she realized it and how they were both being thrown to the wolves, they were already married. The book was clear that Harry was looking for a compromise but The Firm wasn't interested.

I come from a highly dysfunctional family. I don't think Harry will regret his book. I think he will grieve that his family was so dysfunctional that he felt compelled to have his voice amplified. I think he's still in the early phases of his recovery and desperately wants his family to see what he sees. Sadly, it's unlikely they ever will.
