It’s the most shocking thing he revealed about William, but everyone is so busy with the “he hit Harry!” story (siblings do) it just didn’t get mentioned in criticisms of the book. William is like a Teflon guy. That quote should follow him through life.
It's from Harry AND from his memory. In a book with lots of word salad which was written by a ghost writer. Besides, Harry cannot remember everything literally so it isn't even a fact that William sad that.
@@duncanhewitt6557 I forgot his ghostwriter’s name, so I thought that was a weird nickname or typo for Meghan 🤭 But it’s very possible he took some liberties to make things more provocative.
Medieval Prince Harry would’ve had a much more interesting story. They would’ve called him something like Harry Flamebeard (or Harry of the Frosted Tip by his foes) and after being exiled and marrying a common-born foreigner he would’ve mustered up a bunch of mercenaries and second-born sons and return to start a (probably disastrous) civil war in England against William the Bald for the throne of King Charles the Adulterer. Fortunately now exiled nobles can just vent their frustrations with weed and podcasting.
@@uncarley Instead of a petty little scuffle in the kitchen, Harry and William could’ve had a duel to the death on the banks of the Thames or something cool like that. Also they’d probably lock Prince Andrew in the Tower of London because he’s too embarrassing and tell everyone he died of a tragic case of bad humours. That would be nice.
And I understand telling your story, everyone has that right and that's fine. But he didn't have to talk about his dick as much as everyone's reviewing.
You know in the USA we use editors. Writers turn in the pages. Editors rip some out, put some back. But Harry can write, as he dictated most of these pages. It reads very naturally. He has his grandmother's wit, and his mother's love for fun, dancing and outdoors.
I just find it so funny that will asked harry to pretend not to know him at school as if they weren't some of the most famous siblings in the world and everybody knew they were brothers anyway💀💀
@Don’t come for me unless I send for you 🤷 1. “Even a fool, when he holds his peace, is counted wise: and he that shuts his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.” Proverbs 17:28 American King James Bible 2. “It’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool than open ones mouth and remove all doubt” - Mark Twain (attributed)
If any of them wrote a book I’d actually read, it’s Edward. If Charles is the heir, Andrew (icky) is the spare, I wanna know about the irrelevant fourth child, who just watched everything unfold, like Ik damn well he’s got some stories. Arguably the most unhinged and hinged family member
Interesting thing is Prince Edward is the first royal to actually work outside of the royal in a private sector. I mean Harry here is complaining how he wasn’t taught to survive in the normal world, hey his uncle did maybe he should learn from him. Like Prince Edward’s book could be a know how on how to be a “normal” royal .
@@EdGee1989- he is though. At that point they hadn’t changed the law that female heirs can be first in line. If Elizabeth had a younger brother he would have been the heir not her
@@bumblebee7384 Exactly, Harry was just trying to play the victim so no one questioned why he didn't study, work or do anything remotely productive instead of whinging 24/7. He makes it seem like the family is a bunch of Neanderthals and he was the revolutionary that started all the changes. Well, no. Diana, Charles, even Harry's grandmother's sister, Margaret went to therapysts regularly. Prince Edward and his wife, Princess Anne's children all had regular jobs. Even Prince William worked as an emergency helicopter pilot. In real life he just stuck at the age of 12 maybe, didn't elevate his life past that and now he wants to blame someone for it so badly.
Ok but now imagine being Harry's ghostwriter and you sit him down and he tells you about his frostbitten todger and Elizabeth Arden cream reminding him of his mother's smell and then having to put that down into a coherent narrative.
@@uncarley quick comment. I went to boarding school and a lot of friends did. It's not normal to be bathed and showered.... I've never heard of this ever
the fact that a large portion of this book happens when these people are in their mid thirties and are some of the richest people in the world is so funny to me. like they have no problems theyre just inventing their own!!
My question is how he got it frost nipped in the first place. Was the army letting him wander around not dressed properly for the weather, or was it just hanging out there looking at the world. I live in northern Canada and that is literally the first time I EVER heard of someone getting frost burnt down there.
@@evasartorius9528 I read in a comment that he refused to use the adult diapers issued by the Army, so he froze in the process of relieving himself. There should be military discipline for that. It’s like injuring yourself on purpose to get out of your duties.
Tbh it’s not even that bad… Charles and camilla live in a 5 bedroom house… not a 100 bedroom palace… 😂 so I get that she probably wanted a bigger room to make her closet. Still funny though 😂
I can almost guarantee William has a similar view of Harry. Their fights are very reminiscent (however a lot more shallow, probably because they’re also a lot more privileged) of the fights between my sister and myself. It mostly just speaks to a very traumatic childhood where they were probably pitted against each other as often as they banded together against their family. They don’t have enough trust in each other so everything is a perceived slight. It’s really sad because the real enemy is the system.
I thought the same thing when I read that bit where Harry gleamed that he was "right" about William being envious that he got to keep his beard while William couldn't. Even Harry himself, in a moment of probably oblivious self-awareness, admits that they were raised differently from a certain point because he was allowed to "indulge" whereas William was held at unattainable standards. That's one bit in his book that I believe to be true and it's not hard to see as being the truth because we also somehow saw it in the way the two of them were presented and painted as by the media - William, the heir, always appeared as quieter, more reserved and somewhat similar to his father. Harry, the spare who will probably never reach the throne, was always the more fun, free-spirited brother and more similar to his mother. I really don't think it's far from the truth that they were raised differently and maybe even pitted against each other, either.
Given that through history, princes usually assassinated each other in the bid to the thrown - heck, even mothers weren’t spared. It’d be of no surprise if these two, in spite of being raised in the “modern era”, were assigned their “crown prince” and “spare” roles from birth, and reminded of the huge difference between their worth to the monarchy. Perhaps if Diana was still around then all of this would have been different. Sad, really.
While I don't question your story was traumatic and toxic, his has an extra component: royal hierarchy. As a spare he can NEVER win on anything. William always has to stand out, gets the best stuff, never gets reprimanded, and uses harry as a scapegoat when necessary. That adds an extra layer of toxicity to the whole dynamic.
@@bgranger_842 dynamics like this regardless of the Royal element are often based on the assigned roles in the family, i.e the favorite vs the constant disappointment/scapegoat. I’d imagine the real difference is the type of pressure put on the eldest (the heir) to shift blame onto the “spare.” If my sister didn’t throw me under the bus she would just temporarily receive the same vitriol I did on a daily basis. If William doesn’t do what the crown says, well I can’t even fathom what it must be like to be a puppet.
Because he's an overdramatic immature self centered adult which are things we can understand and forgive in teenagers and very young adults, but which are pathetic on almost 40 year olds.
honestly a lot of it was cringe but also the story of him losing his virginity in a bar to an older woman while drunk was rape. he had a LOT of drug problems and his dad pretending that he may not be his child and taunting him for it was… wild. that’s a lot to go through especially when your brother punches you for not letting his racist comments slide - they’re all messy but I enjoyed the truth
Also the fact that he wants it to be his “thing”, and being annoyed that he didn’t think of it first seems so embedded in selfishness and disingenuous. I think it would’ve been very little about the actual cause and more so what it could do for Williams status
As the youngest child let me just say, this book is peak youngest child syndrome. The theme of "Yeah I did that. But my older brothers told me to!" Is basically how I went about life before getting therapy.

@@tonisharday8777 it’s hard to know how Charles joke was meant to land. Joking about maternity and paternity is something that sometimes happens in family. Sometimes it’s done with cruelty, sometimes not. My mom has jokingly introduced me to new people as being a product of my dad’s first marriage since I was little (there was no first marriage! My parents were married for 5 years when they had me). While I’ve never thought the joke was funny and don’t really enjoy this particular running bit of hers, I know she doesn’t mean any harm in these moments. That said, my parentage was never in real question so it’s much easier for me to let that go. The subject should have been off limits for Harry given that he had to deal with rumors that he was an affair baby.
As the youngest, I never blamed the older kid. I did often scratch my head wondering why everyone thought she was right about things when I was quietly more perceptive! Things changed when we got older and we're all happy. Life's too short to carry rivalry over the years, though it seems earth-shattering when you're young!
William was called "work-shy" William and lazy because he opted to be a rescue pilot instead of assuming royal duties right away. The British press is so unserious 😂
@@uncarley Hi! New subscriber here.👍 Honestly to review this book, it would take much more time. It’s really deep and complicated, so context is needed. I purchased the audiobook and read along. What I do agree with is that as a Royal, I would have been kicked out or shipped off to a boarding school at an early age for life with no chance of “parole”. 🙃
Honestly she undersold how crazy Harry comes off in this book. He insinuates magical selkies (!!!) and the ghost of his mom may have helped Meg to get pregnant. He also apparently got so high off of laughing gas during his son’s birth that the nurse had to replace the canister so there would be some available for Meghan to use. If he was my husband I would have fucking murdered him over that!
Harry should be glad he’s a royal because if he and his brother were normal famous the amount of DIRT that William could share about him would be insane
@@naturallycharitable644 not really? The royal family tries their best to hide as much of their disgusting history as possible. The fact that there's the youngest son of queen Elizabeth whose name I forgot, he literally is so spoiled and a pedo, he did disgusting things and the royal family tried to save him as much as possible, but they ended up leaking information about him because people he abused started exposing him, as well as him being stupid enough to admit to a lot of the things he had done himself. And even with the proof, the queen at the time still supported him since he was the favourite son
i have yet to watch the video and it took me a solid ten seconds to realise that that at be something that happens in the book, because i was sitting there like ‘odd scenario but okay’
I'm a librarian and some of my coworkers were laughing at this facebook post from a bookstore where they had displayed Harry's book on some shelves but there was a book placed between each copy of his that was called " How to Kill Your Family "
The thing is: that's even the case in Austria which is not even an English speaking country and in no way part of the Commonwealth. It's absolutely nuts!
It’s really sad to me that folks think he had no issues coming up… His dads married the home wrecker. His dad killed his mom. His family cut him Off from his mom before her death. His family let a racist rabid British public and media slander his innocent loving BLACK wife and allowed the media to publish the literal ENTIRE interior and layout of a home they were moving into with their newborn. That’s SCARY as duck!
Oh absolutely. And yet, think of how far he's come to get this close to normal. Imagine how much more fucked up the inside of Charles' or William's mind is.
I like how Harry is explaining the pressure of being a royal, but then giving no sympathy to William - maybe he’s also mad at his lack of choice rather than your beard 😂
lol right, I don’t even like William (I don’t like any of them tbh, the monarchy is useless), but from William’s perspective there’s so much pressure around him and Harry doesn’t seem to get that being the spare isn’t nearly the worst position to be within the institution. Harry should’ve understood William got the most “perks” almost as a compensation because one day the weight of it all will be on his shoulders, for better or worse. The spare has the option of finding his own path and the knowledge that the scrutiny over him will ease with time when the heir’s heirs get older and the attention goes onto them, while for his brother it only gets worse as his role becomes more relevant overtime.
@@oo648 This. I'm so upset that I'm even defending William in any way, but you're right. We also know that Harry was a MAJOR party boy. He was deep into the rave and clubbing scene, drinking heavily and doing drugs. What does he think William was doing while he was letting his freak flag fly? William was being moulded and hardened to endure the role he'll inevitably fill one day. He didn't have the luxury to jet off to Ibiza and go on a bender. He has had to very closely monitor every single thing he has done since he was young because the public need to revere their future king. Harry doesn't even realise that he has lived a lot more than William has. That being said, I hate the monarchy and they all gotta go. Teehee.
"Maybe it's because your husband is inbred." I AM DONE. I was working and listening to this in the background and I had to stop and comment. I am in TEARS. hahahahaha
im the youngest and i gotta say, when he said how hurt he was because william told him at boarding school that he didnt wanna hang out with him, i rolled my eyes so hard they almost stuck. older siblings almost always want to distance themselves from younger siblings when they are with their friends. younger siblings almost always wanna hang out with the older siblings and their friends because they seem cool. the most common thing in the world. he really victimizes himself and villainizes everyone and everything.
@@marykay7878 I am the older sibling in my family. Always have been protecting of my younger siblings. My little brother did this thing to me "I don’t know you" once entering a public bus and I still hurt lol.
@@meganesergerie5382 then there are middle siblings where both older and younger siblings don’t want you to even look at them in public … but then you grow up and get over it…
Even though there was a lot of cringe in this book the most shocking thing to me was the Africa argument. Two white princes from an imperial family talking about a whole continent with real people in it as if it was a pair of shoes, that really puts into perspective how a “modernized monarchy” will never work, its the same as putting makeup on a pig.
@@theysaykillerwhales because my dear, it is a country. how else would we arbitrarily reshuffle, steal, and move things around without a cause or care to the destruction left behind?...(insert BIG eye roll here)
This family is so unhinged and deranged. The more I've learned about them in my adult years, the more I'm astounded that any of them who aren't in line for the throne stayed connected to this bizarre way of living and growing up. As far as I can tell, Princess Anne is the sensible one. (If I remember correctly, she insisted that her children not be given titles.) Forget "The Crown." Give me period piece about Anne's equestrian career, failed kidnapping, and charity work that she seemed to actually genuinely embrace.
Realy? I find them realy boring. Nowhere near any description of UNHINGED.. not even interesting tbh. Its just the spectacle of a Palace thats interesting. They live realy boring lives.
@@shabrinaz9877 to be fair, boring is good. Boring is safe and also, boring means you're not doing bad sh-t. It maybe uninteresting but at least they are not being an a$$hole. I'll choose ordinary than chaos in anyday. Because it usually means basic human decency is applied.
Anne is so iconic. The hair dept for The Crown said doing Anne's hair on the actor who played her took hours, when someone asked Anne about this she was like "... idk it takes me like 5 minutes"
Well they're actually are a lot you can look up without princess and on here. You don't need to be on a site about William and Harry. Lol imagine the Future King of England saying I don't want to give my son a title that's hilarious. By the way what Prince Charles was known when people would talk about him being crazy was his feelings about climate change and eating organically and now look where that is.
@@JaninejajaRocker07 thats what im saying. I dont think theyre unhinged at all. So far their biggest bombshell are still predictable. You know many people in their position, even a teenth as wealthy or popular would be gigantic assholes irl. But theyre not. At least Will and Harry dont bully their staff and everyone can attest how well mannered They both are since they were little
Having a random women bath you till your 13, going to colonizer-native party, arguing that a whole continent is “my thing”, holding a grudge over like what half a gram of lip gloss 😭😭😭 I am in shock. I can’t tell if he thought this was gonna make us more relate to him but it just really showed how ridiculous you all are like how am I supposed to go poor you when you’re talking about being chandler 💀
Maybe he made it all up? I wouldn’t give shine to a stranger either, to be honest))) Harry's arguments and examples seem ridiculous and childish to me. It seems to me that a 38 year old man is old enough not to complain about his older brother. Especially when so many children are now deprived of their parents and brothers and sisters, for example, in the war in Ukraine.
@no : Independence from the British Government. You do realise the Crown holds no power. She didn't really take OR give back anyone's freedom. She's just a figurehead.
@Mckenzie: Wouldn't really make sense as Colonisation decisions are made entirely by the British Government. The Parliament decides. The Crown is just a symbol ( esp. since Elizabeth's dad - very very limited powers).
@@georgeiii2998 The whole family is bad. It's not one-sided. But he can't respond because of still belonging to the Firm, which is kind've an unfair position.
I legit thought all the tweets about this book were some sort of meme. Very confidently told my sister they must be meme-ing. Was so surprised to find out that none of it was a meme, and he actually said ALL of that. Boy, WHAT?
We literally fought a war so we wouldn’t have to deal with the drama that follows the royal family, and yet we’re still paying $29.99 to read about the drama of the royal family. My ancestors died so I could be free from this juicy tea, but it’s so damn juicy!
Chandler was an obscenely rich kid with toxic parents who totally screwed up his ability to relate to people in a normal way and hides behind humor. I feel like Harry fits that.
Yeah but Chandler doesn’t blame every single mistake he makes on his parents. When he messes up, he admits it and tries his best to better himself. Harry isn’t capable of that. 😂
@@jesslaurel yes, however though Chandler confronted both of them at pivotal moments in the series across the 10 years of the show. He showed more growth in the show than Harry if I’m being completely honest.
Yes, some of his childhood was fucked up, but getting a smaller bedroom than your older sibling, your older brother not wanting to hang out with you at school, the human race is doomed if that constitutes a traumatic childhood
The smaller bedroom story is about Balmoral as well, their holiday castle they would only stay at a few weeks a year. ;) He makes it sound like he's that other Harry, and was put in a little cupboard under the stairs, poor thing.
I'd say growing up, being treated as inferior to your brother absolutely every day constitutes a traumatic childhood. There's always someone who has is worse than you but that doesn't minimize your trauma
For the colonizers and natives party, he could've just dressed up as himself, as the majority of the money of the royal family comes from land purchased partially from the wealth accrued from - you guessed it - colonization.
He's always been not the sharpest tool in the shed. They probably ignored his provocations to create drama and fights and it made him feel even more frustrated and angry. Now he's unleashing it all but in the end he just makes a laughing stock of himself while the royals keep on with their stuff like usual. Some kids scream even louder when adults don't respond to their tantrums and don't give them attention.
The stuff about siblings is so true. My siblings and I were SO cruel to each other at school lmao. We're all really close now though. I think, because Harry's life has been so odd and so far removed from most people's experiences, he can't tell which parts are ordinary things everybody goes through and which are abnormal.
If I didn’t have a sibling I’d definitely think Harry was making up the fights between him and William “why can’t I have elephants” lol such a sibling fight.
Haven't seen the entire vid yet, so commenting while listening, was this a fight for LIVE elephants or DEAD elephants? Wondering if he wants one as a pet because it seems like a funnier fight.
As a sibling, Harry saying he was traumatized by William not hanging out with him at school and laughing at his shaved head are just laughable statements for me... As if it isn't normal sibling behavior T-T
Why do I feel like Charles said that to Harry but it was in a teasing joke manner like how every parent would tease their children about anything because they love embarrassing them for some reason
I can't vouch for the authenticity of Harry's anecdotes, but Charles constantly disrupting Harry's school play with his laughter and remarks because he just *needs* the attention seems on brand for the Royal family.
Its so weird seeing how universal Sibling Behavior translates to the 1%, like we have the same dynamic it’s just that with my sisters it’s gardening and drawing and with Harry+William it’s veterans and Africa. Dare i say it’s Succession as fuck
About the lipgloss thing. When I was very young I heard from a friend that sharing lipgloss or lip products can sometimes be unhygenic so that makes me think that Megan was trying to be polite and not ruin Kate's product.

i saw these books at barnes and noble, and they were on a display where all the covers where facing out, and when i turned around and just saw harry's face everywhere i jumped and almost accidently knocked down a book display
It's because it's the scariest autobiography book cover: his face takes all the space and is so smooth, straight, like a marble bust or a synthetic image... He's made sure everyone recognizes and remembers him.
@@annedubouch1137 This is very perceptive ... "making sure everyone recognizes and remembers him" ! Because for 5 years now, we have had Harry's and Meg's faces seared into our brains ... because their faces have been in every newspaper, magazine, news item, billboard, social platform, etc etc, and now book-covers. We cannot get away from them! Their faces are everywhere, smirking at us, confronting us, taunting us! It's like a nightmare that never ends!! LOL But we cannot help being drawn to see "what happens next", because there is always another jaw-dropping twist to their story!
my fahter jokes about me dont be his and that he raice my like his onwn. for me its not like a mayor problem, wer always laugh. and i always respond too late for a dna you gave me your last name.
I mean, royals in general are so far removed from our reality, their normal has nothing to do with our normal, this was always gonna be wild. Then again, anyone else in the family would have had seven censors go through their text.
I had hoped it would be at least eloquently written, but the excerpts reads like someone's third book in wattpad. Thank you, because I was interested in reading.
I used one of my audible credits to download the book bc it's "read by the author" and I just play it while I'm falling asleep bc his voice is very soothing and it's like being read the most chaotic and sad fairy tale ever.
I think the biggest shot was them taking the security away while there were literal death threats. Same with Diana back then. So yeah, I'd be pissed too. Idk which parts of the Netflix documentary are true, but the Royal Family really comes off as petty there. And what was definitely true was the whole issue about the press and the fact that the palace didn't do anything about that even though they probably could have. On the other hand, it goes to show how stupid people are in general believing the crap magazines like the Sun write.
I mean it's petty but I get it. Who wants to be around a family that stuffy. I'd gtfo too tbh. Also you you left out the verbal abuse he went through with his father taunting him about not really being his son at 9 years old. Charles can eat a big fat one. What a horrific thing to do to a child, and as a child who had similar things thrown my why from a young age up until even this summer as a grown adult, I cut ties with my family entirely. It messes with your brain and it doesn't just go away when you become an adult.
@Winter Williams If u read the book it wasn't verbal abuse. This is an insinuation not fact. In the book Charles is talking about a mad man escaped from Broadmoor prison pretending to be Prince Charles. Charles says to that who knows if im the real Prince Charles or not maybe Im the mad man from Broadmoor n this guy is PC ur real dad. Harry and the media turned it into something else to create a narrative.
I feel for Harry. He seems like the kind of kid who tried to play everything off as no big deal and then 20 years later he was like, "Actually, no, that hurt!"
God! The struggles of being rich and spoiled, having access to everything, and still having to deal with sibling rivalry and rules like common people. Cry me a river. Harry, in recent years, has come off sounding like an entitled, whiny asshole. He and his wife put on a mildly entertaining shit show so they'll keep airing out the trash while the money's still good.
@@APP-hm6bf the whole world including his own blood. The fact that his father once told him "I grew up like that so you're gonna grow up like that too" is telling how supportive his own father was.

I am 100% sure this book is exactly Jo's book from The Office. "I was born. Not into luxury, nor poverty. But into adversity, and for that I thank the Lord"
thank you for all the LOVE on this video! btw feel the need to note that I KNOW Africa is a continent (never thought i would have to issue a statement on that) i speak a mile and minute and mispoke but corrected myself with text on screen! i know most people listen to videos like this like a podcast and won't see the correction but i feel the need to let you know I do know that Africa is not a country (fair correction though)
But what really confuses me is that Harry complained about lack of privacy, intrusiveness of the media, people souring his life details and spreading rumors. At the same time he doesn’t respect privacy of his relatives at all, especially “evil Willy’s”
Plus the fact that he’s living for all the press right now, like if you don’t want all the attention don’t do a Netflix show and write a tell all book?
I think him putting it all out there is because the British press will try to “expose him” I think he’s just trying to clear his name along with his wife’s name. Also why does everyone get to talk about him but not him? He’s allowed to take control of his own narrative
@@fatima-or2qd the only downside of it is that it will never really end, so long as the press keeps writing negative articles and assuming the royal family continue to sell stories to the media with a twist to make H&M look bad, his name will never really be 'cleared'.
@@fatima-or2qd this !!!^ the only way he can truly disappear is if he literally assumed a new identity and went off the grid. the press will always continue to haunt him regardless. i wish people didnt give a fuck about him so much so we wouldnt get to hear about him but hey clearly, lots do, so. i don’t blame harry for wanting to take control of his narrative somewhat, even if yes he’s goofy in some of his sentiments in the book and irl
I kind of feel bad for him because he clearly has unresolved issues stemming from a troubled childhood-that his family never thought to address - his mother's death. Plus the fact that the royal family was so out of touch that Harry didn't understand that it's normal for siblings to be jerks to each other when they're young.
My older brother and I went to the same high school and I wouldn't have dared to speak to him. Def not a royal thing or William being psycho...it's just what older siblings do.
I agree! But what I found odd was that it seemed William did this even outside of school at times. There was a trip they had to Africa during a school break and I think Harry said William was still pretending not to know him. So idk 🤷🏾♀️
I now feel like the royal family and very upperclass families by extension is where all those weird YA/angsty teen drama tropes come from. Everyone just being hilariously, stupidly petty and catty to each other, like the popular girl who's just absurdly mean, the clueless parent who will proudly humiliate you acting bizarre at your school play, and the douchebag bully who just shows up occasionally to let you know that he'd like to do violence to you and doesn't want you to have anything. Like how do actual people get to be this way
I used my credit of the month to get the audiobook. Oh my God, I was so wrong when I thought I was gonna get a memoir like Jennette McCurdy's "I'm glad my mom died". "Spare" feels so long and it just keeps going and going! It sadly is not my taste but I don't know if I should continue or if I should accept that I made a bad choice
I legit clicked this video because I am in the middle of listening to section two screaming “omg hurry up Harold!!!” As he goes , “Chapter 66” 😭 This comment reminded me I wanted to listen to her book. I may give up on Spare to do so.
Loved this, thank you. I am from South Africa (one country of 54 in Africa xD) and hearing about the whole "Africa is mine" theme and the "Colonisers/Natives" party is honestly just nuts. The effects of colonisation (by the UK and many other European countries) are still playing out in South Africa and all over the world. It makes me feel pretty shocked that these kinds of historical issues are used as props in Harry's narrative of who we should feel sorry for. I do still feel some sympathy for Harry but on taking a step back, it's difficult to not feel some kind of bewilderment at how out of touch any of these individuals are. Perhaps we are all just as out of touch though 😅
You aren't out of touch. These guys are refusing to be in touch. The old system benefits them, they really like that. Never mind what it did to the beings it controlled.
The people who surrounded him from editors to Netflix producers and “interviewers” to publishers and Oprah and media aren’t actually sympathetic or his friends-yes man because they know this grisly juicy stuff is gold-no they are not laughing with you but at you.
"Africa is my thing" is the most colonial thing he could have said
It’s the most shocking thing he revealed about William, but everyone is so busy with the “he hit Harry!” story (siblings do) it just didn’t get mentioned in criticisms of the book. William is like a Teflon guy. That quote should follow him through life.

How much of this book is made up from the mind of moehringer?
@@duncanhewitt6557 I forgot his ghostwriter’s name, so I thought that was a weird nickname or typo for Meghan 🤭 But it’s very possible he took some liberties to make things more provocative.
Medieval Prince Harry would’ve had a much more interesting story. They would’ve called him something like Harry Flamebeard (or Harry of the Frosted Tip by his foes) and after being exiled and marrying a common-born foreigner he would’ve mustered up a bunch of mercenaries and second-born sons and return to start a (probably disastrous) civil war in England against William the Bald for the throne of King Charles the Adulterer.
Fortunately now exiled nobles can just vent their frustrations with weed and podcasting.
this is the narrative i want
@@uncarley Instead of a petty little scuffle in the kitchen, Harry and William could’ve had a duel to the death on the banks of the Thames or something cool like that.
Also they’d probably lock Prince Andrew in the Tower of London because he’s too embarrassing and tell everyone he died of a tragic case of bad humours. That would be nice.
u should write a book
This is what we need.
write this. immediately😭
harry: "an effort not to overshare"
also harry: *writes an entire book*
Including anecdotes about his frostbitten pen*s and losing his virginity behind a pub. 😂😂
And I understand telling your story, everyone has that right and that's fine. But he didn't have to talk about his dick as much as everyone's reviewing.
You know in the USA we use editors. Writers turn in the pages. Editors rip some out, put some back. But Harry can write, as he dictated most of these pages. It reads very naturally. He has his grandmother's wit, and his mother's love for fun, dancing and outdoors.
And has acquired a raw new language of therapy.
Well, I believe Meghan wrote Part III of the book.
I just find it so funny that will asked harry to pretend not to know him at school as if they weren't some of the most famous siblings in the world and everybody knew they were brothers anyway💀💀
Exactly! Teenagers can be so silly sometimes hahahahahahah
Man i did the same to my little sister. I ask her to act as if we don't know each other in school
Wasn’t it more like don’t speak to me kind of thing
with a brother like Harry I'd pretend he's not my brother too.
I find it so funny that there are still people who find Harry credible enough to believe the version of events he tells 😂
It’s like my grandpa always told me. Rather stay quiet and let them wonder if you’re an idiot, than opening your mouth and confirming it😂
😂😂😂😂

If any of them wrote a book I’d actually read, it’s Edward. If Charles is the heir, Andrew (icky) is the spare, I wanna know about the irrelevant fourth child, who just watched everything unfold, like Ik damn well he’s got some stories. Arguably the most unhinged and hinged family member
He proably has a millon kinks. Andrew's teddy bears would be hard to top tho.
Interesting thing is Prince Edward is the first royal to actually work outside of the royal in a private sector. I mean Harry here is complaining how he wasn’t taught to survive in the normal world, hey his uncle did maybe he should learn from him. Like Prince Edward’s book could be a know how on how to be a “normal” royal .
Andrew is not a spare. It would be Anne, Princess Royal.
@@EdGee1989- he is though. At that point they hadn’t changed the law that female heirs can be first in line. If Elizabeth had a younger brother he would have been the heir not her
@@bumblebee7384 Exactly, Harry was just trying to play the victim so no one questioned why he didn't study, work or do anything remotely productive instead of whinging 24/7. He makes it seem like the family is a bunch of Neanderthals and he was the revolutionary that started all the changes. Well, no. Diana, Charles, even Harry's grandmother's sister, Margaret went to therapysts regularly. Prince Edward and his wife, Princess Anne's children all had regular jobs. Even Prince William worked as an emergency helicopter pilot. In real life he just stuck at the age of 12 maybe, didn't elevate his life past that and now he wants to blame someone for it so badly.
Ok but now imagine being Harry's ghostwriter and you sit him down and he tells you about his frostbitten todger and Elizabeth Arden cream reminding him of his mother's smell and then having to put that down into a coherent narrative.
AHHHHH I just got up to the todger in the video!! 🤣🤣🤣 TODGER I can't 😂🤣😭

My question is how he got it frost nipped in the first place. Was the army letting him wander around not dressed properly for the weather, or was it just hanging out there looking at the world. I live in northern Canada and that is literally the first time I EVER heard of someone getting frost burnt down there.
@@evasartorius9528 I read in a comment that he refused to use the adult diapers issued by the Army, so he froze in the process of relieving himself. There should be military discipline for that. It’s like injuring yourself on purpose to get out of your duties.

@@vardaangandhi9237 (hides)
I can almost guarantee William has a similar view of Harry. Their fights are very reminiscent (however a lot more shallow, probably because they’re also a lot more privileged) of the fights between my sister and myself. It mostly just speaks to a very traumatic childhood where they were probably pitted against each other as often as they banded together against their family. They don’t have enough trust in each other so everything is a perceived slight. It’s really sad because the real enemy is the system.
I thought the same thing when I read that bit where Harry gleamed that he was "right" about William being envious that he got to keep his beard while William couldn't. Even Harry himself, in a moment of probably oblivious self-awareness, admits that they were raised differently from a certain point because he was allowed to "indulge" whereas William was held at unattainable standards. That's one bit in his book that I believe to be true and it's not hard to see as being the truth because we also somehow saw it in the way the two of them were presented and painted as by the media - William, the heir, always appeared as quieter, more reserved and somewhat similar to his father. Harry, the spare who will probably never reach the throne, was always the more fun, free-spirited brother and more similar to his mother. I really don't think it's far from the truth that they were raised differently and maybe even pitted against each other, either.
Yes!!!! Someone who gets it
Given that through history, princes usually assassinated each other in the bid to the thrown - heck, even mothers weren’t spared. It’d be of no surprise if these two, in spite of being raised in the “modern era”, were assigned their “crown prince” and “spare” roles from birth, and reminded of the huge difference between their worth to the monarchy. Perhaps if Diana was still around then all of this would have been different. Sad, really.
While I don't question your story was traumatic and toxic, his has an extra component: royal hierarchy. As a spare he can NEVER win on anything. William always has to stand out, gets the best stuff, never gets reprimanded, and uses harry as a scapegoat when necessary. That adds an extra layer of toxicity to the whole dynamic.
@@bgranger_842 dynamics like this regardless of the Royal element are often based on the assigned roles in the family, i.e the favorite vs the constant disappointment/scapegoat. I’d imagine the real difference is the type of pressure put on the eldest (the heir) to shift blame onto the “spare.” If my sister didn’t throw me under the bus she would just temporarily receive the same vitriol I did on a daily basis. If William doesn’t do what the crown says, well I can’t even fathom what it must be like to be a puppet.
How come this writing style feels like a Wattpad prince Harry fanfic? Like this cannot be real
truly wattpad core
So true
Because he's an overdramatic immature self centered adult which are things we can understand and forgive in teenagers and very young adults, but which are pathetic on almost 40 year olds.
Writing style? It has a ghost writer I believe, maybe that's why.
hired the cheapest wattpad ghost writer they can find 😭
How you manage to paint him as sad and grieving but also unhinge and manipulative little prince is astonishing. Way to go girl!

@@zitronentee exactly!
Really, why are people consumed with Harry and Megan. SMH
honestly a lot of it was cringe but also the story of him losing his virginity in a bar to an older woman while drunk was rape. he had a LOT of drug problems and his dad pretending that he may not be his child and taunting him for it was… wild. that’s a lot to go through especially when your brother punches you for not letting his racist comments slide - they’re all messy but I enjoyed the truth
The theme was colonizers and this member of the british royal family thought “i need a costume”
Im WHEEZING
right??? boy you ARE the costume 😭😭😭
The fact that they boiled down the whole continent of Africa to rhinos and elephants says a lot 💀
They didn't. It's about conservation work they both wanted to do.
William did not harry
"Efforts in Africa, Lesotho... things of that nature~" I mean...
@@naturallycharitable644harry only said that William said this - doesn’t make it true (it’s probably BS)
Also the fact that he wants it to be his “thing”, and being annoyed that he didn’t think of it first seems so embedded in selfishness and disingenuous. I think it would’ve been very little about the actual cause and more so what it could do for Williams status
As the youngest child let me just say, this book is peak youngest child syndrome. The theme of "Yeah I did that. But my older brothers told me to!" Is basically how I went about life before getting therapy.

@@tonisharday8777 didnt Harry wear nazi uniform to a party? He ain't that great
@@tonisharday8777 it’s hard to know how Charles joke was meant to land. Joking about maternity and paternity is something that sometimes happens in family. Sometimes it’s done with cruelty, sometimes not. My mom has jokingly introduced me to new people as being a product of my dad’s first marriage since I was little (there was no first marriage! My parents were married for 5 years when they had me). While I’ve never thought the joke was funny and don’t really enjoy this particular running bit of hers, I know she doesn’t mean any harm in these moments. That said, my parentage was never in real question so it’s much easier for me to let that go. The subject should have been off limits for Harry given that he had to deal with rumors that he was an affair baby.
As the youngest, I never blamed the older kid. I did often scratch my head wondering why everyone thought she was right about things when I was quietly more perceptive! Things changed when we got older and we're all happy. Life's too short to carry rivalry over the years, though it seems earth-shattering when you're young!
Idk if Meghan goes around saying "I'm not like other girls" but Harry definitely goes around saying she's not 😂😂😂
I think Meghan had a hand in writing this book tbh
I get the feeling that its more of an 'she's not like English girls'...
Not only not like other girls, but in the same way his mother was not like other girls 🫥🫥🫥

@@uncarley Hi!
New subscriber here.👍
Honestly to review this book, it would take much more time. It’s really deep and complicated, so context is needed. I purchased the audiobook and read along.
What I do agree with is that as a Royal, I would have been kicked out or shipped off to a boarding school at an early age for life with no chance of “parole”. 🙃
@@khalilahd. do you mean “took one for the team on this one”?
Honestly she undersold how crazy Harry comes off in this book. He insinuates magical selkies (!!!) and the ghost of his mom may have helped Meg to get pregnant. He also apparently got so high off of laughing gas during his son’s birth that the nurse had to replace the canister so there would be some available for Meghan to use. If he was my husband I would have fucking murdered him over that!
Harry should be glad he’s a royal because if he and his brother were normal famous the amount of DIRT that William could share about him would be insane
Believe me William has more dirt that you think
Yah And what makes you think that wouldnt go both ways??
Hahahaha..Hahaha ha... yeah I'm sure Prince Peggy is squeaky clean. Dude married a younger version of his Step Mom & still commits adultery. 🤣...
William aint got nothing on harry because if he did they would have leaked it
@@naturallycharitable644 not really? The royal family tries their best to hide as much of their disgusting history as possible. The fact that there's the youngest son of queen Elizabeth whose name I forgot, he literally is so spoiled and a pedo, he did disgusting things and the royal family tried to save him as much as possible, but they ended up leaking information about him because people he abused started exposing him, as well as him being stupid enough to admit to a lot of the things he had done himself. And even with the proof, the queen at the time still supported him since he was the favourite son
Could you imagine being Courtney Cox and Prince Harry is tripping in your living room?
i have yet to watch the video and it took me a solid ten seconds to realise that that at be something that happens in the book, because i was sitting there like ‘odd scenario but okay’

It’s really sad to me that folks think he had no issues coming up…
His dads married the home wrecker. His dad killed his mom.
His family cut him
Off from his mom before her death.
His family let a racist rabid British public and media slander his innocent loving BLACK wife and allowed the media to publish the literal ENTIRE interior and layout of a home they were moving into with their newborn.
That’s SCARY as duck!
I want a mental health professional to read this book and to get back to us, because clearly all is not well with him.
Yep of course he is not ok, how he can ever be, growing totally out of reality and all royal family. It always has been this way.
Pls dont, they will become mental
Think being consently told you aren't OK has helped also...
Oh absolutely. And yet, think of how far he's come to get this close to normal. Imagine how much more fucked up the inside of Charles' or William's mind is.
I mean…he says a few times in the book that he’s had some mental health struggles.
I like how Harry is explaining the pressure of being a royal, but then giving no sympathy to William - maybe he’s also mad at his lack of choice rather than your beard 😂
lol right, I don’t even like William (I don’t like any of them tbh, the monarchy is useless), but from William’s perspective there’s so much pressure around him and Harry doesn’t seem to get that being the spare isn’t nearly the worst position to be within the institution.
Harry should’ve understood William got the most “perks” almost as a compensation because one day the weight of it all will be on his shoulders, for better or worse. The spare has the option of finding his own path and the knowledge that the scrutiny over him will ease with time when the heir’s heirs get older and the attention goes onto them, while for his brother it only gets worse as his role becomes more relevant overtime.
truly they both need group therapy
@@uncarley and they need to leave us peasants out of it!!
@@oo648 This. I'm so upset that I'm even defending William in any way, but you're right.
We also know that Harry was a MAJOR party boy. He was deep into the rave and clubbing scene, drinking heavily and doing drugs. What does he think William was doing while he was letting his freak flag fly? William was being moulded and hardened to endure the role he'll inevitably fill one day. He didn't have the luxury to jet off to Ibiza and go on a bender. He has had to very closely monitor every single thing he has done since he was young because the public need to revere their future king. Harry doesn't even realise that he has lived a lot more than William has.
That being said, I hate the monarchy and they all gotta go. Teehee.

Give me period piece about Anne's equestrian career, failed kidnapping, and charity work that she seemed to actually genuinely embrace.

We literally fought a war so we wouldn’t have to deal with the drama that follows the royal family, and yet we’re still paying $29.99 to read about the drama of the royal family. My ancestors died so I could be free from this juicy tea, but it’s so damn juicy!
The monarchy playing Chess rn
Chandler was an obscenely rich kid with toxic parents who totally screwed up his ability to relate to people in a normal way and hides behind humor. I feel like Harry fits that.
Yeah but Chandler doesn’t blame every single mistake he makes on his parents. When he messes up, he admits it and tries his best to better himself. Harry isn’t capable of that. 😂
@@GibbySoapBox Chandler put a lot of blame on his parents
@@jesslaurel yes, however though Chandler confronted both of them at pivotal moments in the series across the 10 years of the show. He showed more growth in the show than Harry if I’m being completely honest.
Chandler is actually funny.
@@bread2951 hey look… I’m engaged but… can I fucking marry you for this comment alone?! 😂😂😂 fucking zing!!!
Yes, some of his childhood was fucked up, but getting a smaller bedroom than your older sibling, your older brother not wanting to hang out with you at school, the human race is doomed if that constitutes a traumatic childhood
truly and harry had some actual bad stuff happen to him so like... focus on that for the book instead?
"but getting a smaller bedroom than your older sibling" Having your mother die while you are still a child is not pleasant however rich you are.
The smaller bedroom story is about Balmoral as well, their holiday castle they would only stay at a few weeks a year. ;) He makes it sound like he's that other Harry, and was put in a little cupboard under the stairs, poor thing.
@@EvelineUK maybe he feels he is that harry and was bullied by william as dudley lol
I'd say growing up, being treated as inferior to your brother absolutely every day constitutes a traumatic childhood. There's always someone who has is worse than you but that doesn't minimize your trauma
For the colonizers and natives party, he could've just dressed up as himself, as the majority of the money of the royal family comes from land purchased partially from the wealth accrued from - you guessed it - colonization.
harry: i'm not like other royal princes, i'm a male manipulator

Literally like EVERY royal prince-Henry the Eighth to Edward to fucking Charles
I had zero intention of reading this book, however I'm glad this exists this was delightful
thank you!
Right? I watched this instead of the newest series of The Crown.
Oh I didn't read it, I listened to it instead
It's a prince's book I was expecting royal gossips and tea but it's all about petty fights 😨
You just summed up monarchism
He's always been not the sharpest tool in the shed. They probably ignored his provocations to create drama and fights and it made him feel even more frustrated and angry. Now he's unleashing it all but in the end he just makes a laughing stock of himself while the royals keep on with their stuff like usual. Some kids scream even louder when adults don't respond to their tantrums and don't give them attention.
I mean, thats tea for you
The stuff about siblings is so true. My siblings and I were SO cruel to each other at school lmao. We're all really close now though. I think, because Harry's life has been so odd and so far removed from most people's experiences, he can't tell which parts are ordinary things everybody goes through and which are abnormal.
If I didn’t have a sibling I’d definitely think Harry was making up the fights between him and William “why can’t I have elephants” lol such a sibling fight.
Haven't seen the entire vid yet, so commenting while listening, was this a fight for LIVE elephants or DEAD elephants? Wondering if he wants one as a pet because it seems like a funnier fight.
As a sibling, Harry saying he was traumatized by William not hanging out with him at school and laughing at his shaved head are just laughable statements for me... As if it isn't normal sibling behavior T-T
@@exula_l to be fair, normal sibling behavior can be traumatizing AF to begin with lmao
@@tearsfordears Yeah but he said he was traumatized by his brother laughing after Harry shaved his own hair, that's...not traumatizing
@@exula_l i didnt say his specific case was trauma, i said sibling behavior can still be traumatizing lol
the irony of charles calling harry the spare when their line of the family was never even supposed to rule
LITERALLY like you're here bc your great uncle wanted to marry someone else
I think that's not exclusively for Harry, it's just a term they use in general
Charlies 100% did not say that though lmao it's so badly written
The audacity
Why do I feel like Charles said that to Harry but it was in a teasing joke manner like how every parent would tease their children about anything because they love embarrassing them for some reason
there is no better person i'd want to see sacrifice their soul to read this and then relay it to me in horrifying detail, thank you for your service.
omg thank you girlboss
She really took one for the team on this one. God bless
@@uncarley 🤣🤣🤣
I can't vouch for the authenticity of Harry's anecdotes, but Charles constantly disrupting Harry's school play with his laughter and remarks because he just *needs* the attention seems on brand for the Royal family.

Its so weird seeing how universal Sibling Behavior translates to the 1%, like we have the same dynamic it’s just that with my sisters it’s gardening and drawing and with Harry+William it’s veterans and Africa. Dare i say it’s Succession as fuck
Yeah and it's also weird seeing how these things aren't anticipated and addressed. All those resources...
They really should make a royal version of Succession. I'd watch the mess outta that!
@@ChroniclesofaRunawayBride isn’t ‘the crown’ just that?

About the lipgloss thing. When I was very young I heard from a friend that sharing lipgloss or lip products can sometimes be unhygenic so that makes me think that Megan was trying to be polite and not ruin Kate's product.
Same! I was like "oh she is being so polite." And then got attacked for it. 😅
aren’t hands more unhygienic than lips?
@@El1society I don't know if statistically there is a difference but we tend to wash our hands more often and they aren't covered in saliva.
@@El1society they might be but it would end up just being Meghan's hands touching her lips rather than Kate's lip gloss tube directly touching Meghan's lips. Essentially, Kate's lip gloss would be fine, if anything it's Meghan getting more affected by it
@@cupcakewithouttheicing Its also why, you dont share mascara. 😐😐 I would not share a lip-gloss either.
i saw these books at barnes and noble, and they were on a display where all the covers where facing out, and when i turned around and just saw harry's face everywhere
i jumped and almost accidently knocked down a book display
LMAOAOAOAOAOA
It's because it's the scariest autobiography book cover: his face takes all the space and is so smooth, straight, like a marble bust or a synthetic image... He's made sure everyone recognizes and remembers him.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No way, THIS HAPPENED TO ME AT BARNES AND NOBLE TOO 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 all 30 covers of his book were all looking in the same direction it was so scary
@@annedubouch1137 This is very perceptive ... "making sure everyone recognizes and remembers him" ! Because for 5 years now, we have had Harry's and Meg's faces seared into our brains ... because their faces have been in every newspaper, magazine, news item, billboard, social platform, etc etc, and now book-covers. We cannot get away from them! Their faces are everywhere, smirking at us, confronting us, taunting us! It's like a nightmare that never ends!! LOL But we cannot help being drawn to see "what happens next", because there is always another jaw-dropping twist to their story!
"Lol maybe you're not even my kid." And Harry is like "I'm 9"
🤣🤣 still laughing over that one
hahaha thank you
SAME 😂😂
my fahter jokes about me dont be his and that he raice my like his onwn. for me its not like a mayor problem, wer always laugh. and i always respond too late for a dna you gave me your last name.
There has to be some positive experiences to cushion those jokes. If there aren't any good memories then it can easily be interpreted the wrong way.
savage 😭🤣🤣🤣- Then again the Brits are known for their dry humor.
i did not expect this would be the most unhinged memoir of the decade but here we are apparently
yes who would've thought
I mean, royals in general are so far removed from our reality, their normal has nothing to do with our normal, this was always gonna be wild. Then again, anyone else in the family would have had seven censors go through their text.
The theme was "Colonizers and Natives" and you are the prince of the OG colonizing nation. Go as yourself dude! What a missed opportunity THAT was.
not all heros wear capes because the way I would never read this book but my curiosity knows no bounds so I'm so grateful to you for this
im so happy to help
True cause she should knighted like the highest form of knighthood in UK
king charles acting like michael scott in that theatre audience is just
RIGHT
“I decided I was a chandler.” Which is like okay Rachel
I can’t this is too funny😭
That was my favorite bit 😂😂
IM SORRY but hes not chandler like what
HHahahaha yeah
You are so right, Camilla is iconic for making Harry’s room her glorified closet
Saw a bunch of copies being sold half price, next to a massive pile of coleen Hoover books at full. Imagine being outsold by 'our sons big balls'.
Cryinggggg
nooo harry
I’m sorry but WHAT
every single new information i get about prince harry feels like someone is trolling me with a hidden camera
seriously i feel you
I had hoped it would be at least eloquently written, but the excerpts reads like someone's third book in wattpad. Thank you, because I was interested in reading.
You should read it because the inserts are not in context to what he is saying. Them form your own opinion instead of listening to the narrative
this book destroyed the little sympathy I had for harry and meghan.. but also he's so me i am such an oversharer
I used one of my audible credits to download the book bc it's "read by the author" and I just play it while I'm falling asleep bc his voice is very soothing and it's like being read the most chaotic and sad fairy tale ever.
this comment made me snort
@@astramouseeverywhere6923 I know cuz I certainly couldn’t stand his whining voice 🤮
Seriously… no one is coming off not sounding like a dick in this book. 😂
The most valuable thing you can get from this book: sleep
Best.comment.
Imagine your biggest shot at your family is that your sil got annoyed at sharing her lipgloss and beards on weddings.
I think the biggest shot was them taking the security away while there were literal death threats. Same with Diana back then. So yeah, I'd be pissed too. Idk which parts of the Netflix documentary are true, but the Royal Family really comes off as petty there. And what was definitely true was the whole issue about the press and the fact that the palace didn't do anything about that even though they probably could have. On the other hand, it goes to show how stupid people are in general believing the crap magazines like the Sun write.
That’s what shocked me the most like lmao that’s all he’s got???
I mean it's petty but I get it. Who wants to be around a family that stuffy. I'd gtfo too tbh. Also you you left out the verbal abuse he went through with his father taunting him about not really being his son at 9 years old. Charles can eat a big fat one. What a horrific thing to do to a child, and as a child who had similar things thrown my why from a young age up until even this summer as a grown adult, I cut ties with my family entirely. It messes with your brain and it doesn't just go away when you become an adult.
@Winter Williams If u read the book it wasn't verbal abuse. This is an insinuation not fact. In the book Charles is talking about a mad man escaped from Broadmoor prison pretending to be Prince Charles. Charles says to that who knows if im the real Prince Charles or not maybe Im the mad man from Broadmoor n this guy is PC ur real dad. Harry and the media turned it into something else to create a narrative.
Why do you assume Harry telling his own story was him trying to take a shot?
I feel for Harry. He seems like the kind of kid who tried to play everything off as no big deal and then 20 years later he was like, "Actually, no, that hurt!"
It's sad, he could have healed privately in therapy instead of having the whole world in his business. That'll hurt even more
God! The struggles of being rich and spoiled, having access to everything, and still having to deal with sibling rivalry and rules like common people. Cry me a river.
Harry, in recent years, has come off sounding like an entitled, whiny asshole. He and his wife put on a mildly entertaining shit show so they'll keep airing out the trash while the money's still good.
@@APP-hm6bf the whole world including his own blood. The fact that his father once told him "I grew up like that so you're gonna grow up like that too" is telling how supportive his own father was.
He is a forty year old man.
@@Ph.D_of_Lagomorph a forty year old man with a spouse who's indulging in his trauma, rather than helping him work through it. Don't get me wrong, sibling rivalry exists, hurt can linger for years; but a respectful spouse will help you go through life with self respect by sharing your burden rather than airing all the trauma for the world to judge 🤦🏾♀️
he’s so aggressively millennial but in the worst way rip. also i’m new to your channel but thank you for taking one for the team like this legend
He's an ancient millennial. And his wife is an xennial. We millennials don't claim these two clowns
I am 100% sure this book is exactly Jo's book from The Office.
"I was born. Not into luxury, nor poverty. But into adversity, and for that I thank the Lord"

thank you for all the LOVE on this video! btw feel the need to note that I KNOW Africa is a continent (never thought i would have to issue a statement on that) i speak a mile and minute and mispoke but corrected myself with text on screen! i know most people listen to videos like this like a podcast and won't see the correction but i feel the need to let you know I do know that Africa is not a country (fair correction though)
But what really confuses me is that Harry complained about lack of privacy, intrusiveness of the media, people souring his life details and spreading rumors.
At the same time he doesn’t respect privacy of his relatives at all, especially “evil Willy’s”
Plus the fact that he’s living for all the press right now, like if you don’t want all the attention don’t do a Netflix show and write a tell all book?
@@lauravanvelsen3286 right? I would literally know nothing about him if he had just disappeared behind the limelight.
I think him putting it all out there is because the British press will try to “expose him” I think he’s just trying to clear his name along with his wife’s name. Also why does everyone get to talk about him but not him? He’s allowed to take control of his own narrative
@@fatima-or2qd the only downside of it is that it will never really end, so long as the press keeps writing negative articles and assuming the royal family continue to sell stories to the media with a twist to make H&M look bad, his name will never really be 'cleared'.
@@fatima-or2qd this !!!^ the only way he can truly disappear is if he literally assumed a new identity and went off the grid. the press will always continue to haunt him regardless. i wish people didnt give a fuck about him so much so we wouldnt get to hear about him but hey clearly, lots do, so. i don’t blame harry for wanting to take control of his narrative somewhat, even if yes he’s goofy in some of his sentiments in the book and irl
I kind of feel bad for him because he clearly has unresolved issues stemming from a troubled childhood-that his family never thought to address - his mother's death.
Plus the fact that the royal family was so out of touch that Harry didn't understand that it's normal for siblings to be jerks to each other when they're young.
You're the people's princess for reading this so we don't have to 😭
honestly thank you
No she a Queen probably even Empress
My older brother and I went to the same high school and I wouldn't have dared to speak to him. Def not a royal thing or William being psycho...it's just what older siblings do.
if my sister spoke to me in school? there better be an emergency
I agree! But what I found odd was that it seemed William did this even outside of school at times. There was a trip they had to Africa during a school break and I think Harry said William was still pretending not to know him. So idk 🤷🏾♀️
@@OMGitsShrimp oh weird!! I haven’t read it, so don’t have all of the info. But that would be hurtful, for sure!
@@OMGitsShrimp that’s so funny because literally the whole world knows they’re brothers, and he pretends he doesn’t know him?? 😂😂
Me and my bro lived in the same house and still don’t talked. I haven’t talked to since 2012
I now feel like the royal family and very upperclass families by extension is where all those weird YA/angsty teen drama tropes come from. Everyone just being hilariously, stupidly petty and catty to each other, like the popular girl who's just absurdly mean, the clueless parent who will proudly humiliate you acting bizarre at your school play, and the douchebag bully who just shows up occasionally to let you know that he'd like to do violence to you and doesn't want you to have anything. Like how do actual people get to be this way
I used my credit of the month to get the audiobook. Oh my God, I was so wrong when I thought I was gonna get a memoir like Jennette McCurdy's "I'm glad my mom died". "Spare" feels so long and it just keeps going and going! It sadly is not my taste but I don't know if I should continue or if I should accept that I made a bad choice
Jennette McCurdy's book is AMAZING! would recommend
I legit clicked this video because I am in the middle of listening to section two screaming “omg hurry up Harold!!!” As he goes , “Chapter 66” 😭 This comment reminded me I wanted to listen to her book. I may give up on Spare to do so.
Just an FYI, but you can return audiobooks and get that credit back!
Sacrificing your health and sanity to inform us on another terrible memoir is true girlboss-leading-her-minions behaviour, we salute you 🤗😜

She really took one for the team 😂
@@uncarley how is that any different than it is normally
Loved this, thank you. I am from South Africa (one country of 54 in Africa xD) and hearing about the whole "Africa is mine" theme and the "Colonisers/Natives" party is honestly just nuts. The effects of colonisation (by the UK and many other European countries) are still playing out in South Africa and all over the world. It makes me feel pretty shocked that these kinds of historical issues are used as props in Harry's narrative of who we should feel sorry for. I do still feel some sympathy for Harry but on taking a step back, it's difficult to not feel some kind of bewilderment at how out of touch any of these individuals are. Perhaps we are all just as out of touch though 😅
They come across so spoiled and petty it’s not even funny
You aren't out of touch. These guys are refusing to be in touch. The old system benefits them, they really like that. Never mind what it did to the beings it controlled.
I mean out of touch is you - a white woman - being from South Africa lmaoooo no offense to your parents but they should of left
@@evasartorius9528 the same system that allowed OP to say “she’s from South Africa” (a white women) she literally benefited from colonization
@@JL_Lux I agree. But who is OP?
The people who surrounded him from editors to Netflix producers and “interviewers” to publishers and Oprah and media aren’t actually sympathetic or his friends-yes man because they know this grisly juicy stuff is gold-no they are not laughing with you but at you.
