The next one will be a book of satirical portraits of the Windsors. He will start calling himself The Artist Formerly Known As Prince Harry.

not having brothers or sisters, but my dear old dad didn't like me ex..(maybe he was right :crylol: )

but I had cousins with brothers and sisters. they often had screaming matches or little scraps. when they were little of course it was "he started it" "no she did" etc.

as they got older they screaming got louder. brothers didn't like who their sisters dated often.

why is his life any different from any other regular normal household.

and I presume it is going on right now, and will go on in future.

not sure why he's worth 40M or whatever amount it is, to tell everyone about what happens everyday in loads of households all over the world.

and in some cases as we know, far, far worse things.

I just want to see him crash and burn. specifically as they both said that they wanted to leave the Monarchy and move to the US to get out of the public eye.

and all they've done since then, is completely the reverse.

Prince Harry is the most whipped pup I’ve ever seen.

Moral of the story, never go with a bird that much fitter than you. They’ve clearly got baggage or are an absolute lunatic. Or both, in this case.

Cuenc (and others) are right. Seen brotherly bust-ups in my own extended family and in one case a walloping. Not pleasant, but only the once. It's simple really, this happens in ordinary life and, unless it's full on consistent abuse, nobody goes for help let alone writes a book about it. 'The Spare' is a celebrity cash-in,further reducing respect for the Royal family. It is nothing else.

I don’t know but I suspect the 4th one will be something like “Markled - How Meghan Tore My Family Apart”.

I'm no fan of the Royal family, but if we must have one, why must they all be such thick prats?

How far back do you have to go to find someone who has so comprehensively trashed their own reputation and thrown away so much public goodwill?

He can console himself by counting his money and all his spare bedrooms, I suppose, but god help him if his marriage collapses.

Heckler charges dropped
A man who made anti-monarchist comments at a proclamation ceremony for King Charles III has had charges against him dropped.

Symon Hill, 45, of Church Hill Road, Oxford, was charged with using threatening or abusive words or disorderly behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.

The incident took place at the ceremony at Carfax Tower in Oxford in September.

Mr Hill said he was now considering taking legal action against the police.

He previously explained how he was leaving a service at New Road Baptist Church in Bonn Square when he got caught up in crowds for the ceremony.

He said he was "sad and angry" at seeing "dignitaries and military leaders standing on the steps of Carfax Tower in clothing more suited to the 16th Century".

While he "remained quiet" during the part of the ceremony concerning the death of the Queen, he called out "who elected him?" when King Charles III was declared the new monarch, as he felt "a head of state was being imposed on us without our consent".

He said was told to "shut up" by some in the crowd, and that officers handcuffed him and put him in a police van before driving him home.

I've been sent a copy of the book by pdf, going to give it a read before I judge

All this press bs and twisting of sections of the book (been proven by various sources) is disgusting

The guy has issues, but I'm sure there is some truth to his story

I watched the Netflix thing and shock horror it wasn't the tosh the press fed everyone

I dont think people are saying its not true. Just a bit self obsessed and airing dirty laundry about your own dad and brother in public.

Enjoy though.

But is he tho? That's the question I want to see for my own eyes

The press said bomb shells about the palace but it wasn't in the doc it was just little bits about how he felt and how the press are bad (we all agree surely)

To me it's like he slating the press and they just saying he slating everything else to distract from the fact they are parasites

I don't know, but I've sort of always known that there's a fair bit of nastiness about the royal family and so on. They just don't bother me that much. Lots of what Harry is coming out with just isn't that incendiary, it's just moaning.
