How about CBS News then?

I feel for Harry on some levels. He's had his very origin questioned. He's lost his mother in tragic circumstances. He's been made to walk behind mother's coffin in a very public setting as a child. He's known that effectively he's an spare heir with William getting the top gig when Charles passes away. His wife has been subjected to savage media coverage in the UK. GB news has been particularly anti Harry & Meghan at every opportunity while William and Kate are the perceived stepford couple who can do no wrong.

It's more that they have an agenda against Harry and Meghan while deifying William and Kate. I'm not aware of their viewing figures but they are a fledgling station so maybe in time they'll build a following.

But who cares? No one watches it apart from you.

Without a doubt I always felt both William and Harry have issues. Harry more so. I know a few people who are all of a sudden big Harry fans and it's mainly because they enjoy the issues he's causing for the Royal Family and they don't give a toss about him.

Spot on: And they’re delighted he keeps swinging..and their glee is because somehow they think Harry’s ranting and story telling is hurting the RF. It’s a weird way to look at this.

I said it earlier: Harry needs someone firm and fair, and someone he trusts to sit him down and tell him to shut up. He needs tough love.

Nobody is being hurt as regards the institution, but from a human and love and family level, plenty are being hurt.

How's he spot on in your opinion? He said the issues he's causing the royal family . You said all its causing is some wee chuckles.

Okay you just didn't agree with all of their comment , fair enough.

Yep. But I don’t think his book will matter a jot to the overall workings of the crown.

Britain and the RF will just carry on as they always have, working for Britain. And of course, that will piss some people off and make others happy and proud.

the world today is just far too fast, chaotic and fickle.. in a wee while it will be just another thing that happened.

Whatever one thinks of Harry and the rights and wrongs of writing the book and his dispute with the RF, the English tabloids (and a lot of their readers) are an absolute sewer of hate and bile. You have the worst people in England on his case - Morgan, Clarkson, Carole Malone, Hartley-Brewer, Wootton, GB News, Talk TV etc. It's a bit surreal to see these lowlifes attempting to judge someone morally.

After boasting about 25 taliban kills veterans and current military will want nothing to do with him

Has there been anything in the book about Andrew and Epstein ?

I’d would imagine he has been sweating a bit more lately in the run up to the Netflix series and the book.

It is likely taken out of context and part of the general plot set up which might go along the lines of the following.

My mum died. Likely killed because she rattled a proverbial cage. I went off the rails. I was a thoroughly horrible person (examples provided including the mocking the matron) but I didn't know it because I was living in a cage having been bred in captivity. We were all wild but we all conformed. Even the outsider who married my equally wild brother joined the cage and conformed. He always got the lions share. Any outsiders dating me got attacked by the press. One particular outsider couldn't handle it and the press is so bad she killed herself years after we split. I loved my family and really tried my best. Then I met my Saintly Wife. A gift from outside the cage I was in. She helped make me see the error of my racist and wild bullying ways. She was the one who showed me my family didn't truly love me. She wanted to kill herself as well but she didn't. They wanted us all to stay caged and bullied us when we rattled the proverbial cages like Mummy. They don't want to be saved. She knew there was a big wide world out there. Despite my friends, family and therapy trying and failing to help it was my wife who was ultimately the one who saved me and who helped me escape. My dead Mummy told me I'm going to be ok. She got her revenge (symbolism of the Queen decoration smashing on the floor)

In short, a savior narrative. Pulitzer worthy I'd say.

It’s actually a great question and right now, I think Harry is so messed up, even he doesn’t know.

We know the 1/2 in 1/2 out approach H&M were pushing for would never have worked from a RF perspective as they would have had no control and as we know control is key for the RF.

So, could William and Charles have just paid Harry say 20 mill between them, so that he could just dabble in whatever worldly causes he wished as long as he kept is mouth shut about private RF life?

Yes the could have, but I don't think Harry wanted to keep his mouth shut- and that's the crux here.

I think the questions are:

Just how much money is enough money? Right now, he's comfortable but if he has to pay for upkeep to his properties, security, private jet travel, his staff etc, he probably needs a few million a year just to stay still so 20 million will only get him say, 6 years of living- mad when you think of it but not far off the truth I'd say.

No wonder Hollywood actors stayed in 5 star penthouses years ago, for months and years on end- it was actually probably cheaper than paying loads of hangers on, security staff, grounds keepers etc

Is his priority right now to make millions or to slate the RF- for me, it's slating the RF because regardless of what he said in the books and the TV shows, i.e. been more positive, he still would have made his millions.

What next? Who knows, but I'd probably buy his next book if it were about his aunt and uncles 😁
