05:31 Harry's 5th Betrayal - Розваги
I listened to the book on Audible, and the thing that struck me the most was how there was nothing that Harry couldn't make into a negative for William. The absolute jealousy and nonstop complaining about everything just permeated every chapter. Every story he told was designed to make himself look like he was either stronger and braver than William or that William was an unfeeling and uncaring brother. Yet Harry gives himself a pass for every disrespectful or cruel thing that he did to others. He told one story about one of the women working at his school and described her in a horrible way, I just couldn't believe how cruel it was and what she and her family had to be feeling. He certainly has no right to complain that the RF didn't protect him, they kept the world from seeing who he really was for a long time. Too bad Harry will never be willing to see that.
They still don’t say anything bad about Harry. They don’t need to. He wrote how he feels about them in his book. One day when M.M. Kicks him to the curb who will he call for help? I guess he better call Saul. He is going to need a lawyer.
It is quite incredible how he did that. And to call him 'Willy' throughout was deliberate, too.
I don't think anyone had any idea, the festering jealousy that Harry has for William. Jealous that William is just better at everything. He's better looking, (he looks like Diana) he's more intelligent, he has a perfect family, he has the beautiful Catherine, and probably the thing he's the most jealous of, is that William will be King. The personal information he put out for instance, about both of them being circumcised. You have to wonder why? The only logical explanation is to completely sever ties. You don't say the things Harry has said, (very personal information) and then expect reconciliation, unless he's more dimwitted than we ever knew.
When he and his wife say "protection," what they actually mean is that they expected the palace to silence their critics. They had physical protection the entire time they were there. But the Crown couldn't and wouldn't silence anyone who said something the Sussexes didn't like. They seem to not understand the difference between a limited and an absolute monarchy, and the "nerdy" wife never looked into what happened in 1215 to change that.
@defenestrate49579n
I would not believe a word H says at all. He is doing this all on purpose to upset the family. He is a nasty piece of work. He has no idea what a ‘sacred oath’ even means - he has no integrity at all.
The vile wife brings out the animal in him, totally, because she's vindictive and cunning and it's in her nature to hurt anyone against her.
@@blueberrylatte3097 I totally agree and TW is mentally unstable in my opinion and I believe she takes anything that SHE perceives as a slight, as some form of deliberate competition to her level of control. She is therefore on the attack and out to “hit back “ with full spite willing to strike twice as hard at the person she perceives as her enemy!
@@blueberrylatte3097 I understand what you’re saying, but I believe Harry has always been this way, but we never knew about it because the palace covered up for him.
@@RussiaIsARiddle778 I'm not convinced. I don't doubt he has a destructive side. This could be seen in his antics in vegas, vile fancy dress, attacking photographers and not bothering at school. If the Palace could cover all up, we wouldn't know about any of this. The Palace PR did their best to manage the fall out from his antics. I think he wants to please his wife and is resentful at senior Royals for not giving into her terms, which has probably made his life with her hellish. I think she's behind this whole revenge thing and he's complicit. I don't believe anything like this would have occurred had he married just about anyone else. He got with a con artist, obsessed with fame and fortune, imho. I don't believe she cares about him at all.
Hold on - according to Harry Williams wedding was marred by being held in the same venue that held his mother’s funeral service YET Harry initially wanted HIS wedding also to be in that SAME venue!?! He’s twistier than a corkscrew!!!
@kkaradin
Indeed! So blatantly hypocritical.
Shelley neither H or M have memories .They fail completely to acknowledge that they wanted the wedding to be a " spectacle" and indeed insisted upon it because H was so jealous of William and Catherine .
I couldn't bring myself to read the book but Harry's treatment of women and his minders was pretty awful too. No one was 'Spared'. Thank you for an excellent video.
I would not buy the book.I could not look at Harry’s photo on the cover. The thought of hearing Harry’s voice on the audio book was not appealing.
Not even his mother was spared. To tell the world that he rubs his mother’s moisturiser on his todger while imagining her in the room with him is a serious Oedipus Rex issue.
I have not read the book and don’t want to …. I can’t believe what Harry is doing to the Royal family….it makes me feel very sad
@@mottawa1 I am proud to say I have never supported any of their endeavors, not the Okra lie fest, her podcasts, the NF reality show or the book. I will never put a penny into these traitors coffers.
Only his vile wife was spared in his attacks.
I was shocked at how nasty he was towards his brother.
"I was shocked at how nasty he was towards his brother."
No need to be shocked, it's exactly the kind of thing one observes over and over again in many families where one of the members is stricken with a consuming case of sibling rivalry. The difference here is that this particular instant involves one of the most high-profile, influential families in the world and that what makes Sparry's 400 page Whine-a-thon "news".
Sparry's bleating about garbage like he only got 2 sausages to William's 3 (bet the tosser didn't eat the 2 he was given!) and whining about his "smaller room' (in a bloody, luxurious palace, while others are homeless/starving), is the kind of "complaints" one frequently hears from siblings ("Hey she got the new jeans, but I had to wear hand-me-downs! type of utter trivia!), Virtually all of that 400 page pity-party is of the same species of "complaint" accompanies with personal digs and revelation of personal details that the targeted sibling would like to remain private for further "revenge".
Still remember when they were very young and Hazmat went up and booted William on thr shin during a press conference.
I wasn't shocked. I think he's been jealous of his brother since day one. It comes out in almost all his actions. He's just showing it outwardly now. I think he was faking love for his brother while seething underneath when they were young You can see the jealousy first now when he had in the book that Megan's eyes grew wide when she saw William and Catherine's home. But he gives an almost insurance adjusters inventory of the place. He noticed matching leather book titles etc etc etc. Jealous jealous jealous.
He feel sorry for himself bc he will never be king. He can be the king in his toilet.
Harry is cruel. Full stop. Meghan deserves him. I couldn't wish him on anyone more deserving. Haven't read the book....my constitution rejects it's very premise. I could never do to a sibling what he has done to William. Very poor form indeed. I hope he doesn't treat his new found family that way in future. However the best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour. It doesn't bode well.
Those two deserve eachother. The Waaghs are an awful duo.
The Montecito duo deserve each other. One day they will destroy each other. I dislike & despise the "now husband" even more now. Chelsea Davy should thank her lucky star that she is saved from that dislikable man.
Karma has a funny way of working to turn the world into a fairer one. These two jokers have children (allegedly) and they should start hoping and praying that those children do not do unto them what they have done onto their own parents and family as those children are now growing up with and learning from two of the world's most famous and awful narcissists.
But Dad expects them to meet and shake hands !
@@michaelrandall2070 Yes. Talk about being in perpetual denial.
Seems Harry wasn't mourning his grandfather or his grandmother, he was too obsessed with giving Meghan whatever she wanted. He doesn't understand the pain the rest of the family were experiencing yet in that moment he demanded more attention. Such incredibly toxic and cruel behavior. I had a narcissitic ex like that who never understood human emotions and even tried to explain to me the correct way to grieve for my mother when she died. It's going to take a miracle for the two of them to wake up from their intoxicating grandiose dream!
Spot on!
Harry has definitely proved himself to be a narcissist by his own words and behavior. I used to think it was mainly MM. But now, I realize that all she's really done is give him the encouragement to act a fool, be a louse, and prove by his own words and actions what a narcissist he is.
I believe Harry knows only too well how hurt his father, brother and the rest of the family are and it pleases him. Nasty creature
Beyond belief that Harry does not see his own cruelty. Exactly what is his mental state.... this is probably what his family is worried about. This is not the Harry they knew!!
When someone tells the world a private conversation out there they can NEVER BE TRUSTED AGAIN.
For me, the second part of Harry referencing his brother’s scowl and alarming baldness when he wrote ‘ his resemblance to our Mother fading’ or something like that, screams jealousy. William has it all, including his Mother’s soft gaze and Harry can’t bear it.
Then people found the video of Diana saying 'Oh stop it Harry'
Sadly, I feel like William has inherited all of his late mother’s best traits, both physically and emotionally, whereas Harry has inherited the worse aspects of her personality. So many times through this wretched book it comes out that little brother Harry is screaming and stamping his toddler feet “ Not fair! She’s MY Mummy! MINE!!! Not yours!!” I think we should all be eternally grateful that William is the elder brother ❤
Jelly much
People have said that upward gaze of Diana’s with the downward tilt of the head was an affectation for the cameras but it obviously wasn’t because William has the exact same mannerism.
@@qhluvr77 Elder, and also a brother, not a sister. Now, we don't know if the Queen would have done something about it back then (like the Swedish Royal family who abandoned male primogeniture shortly after Victoria's brother's birth), but if William would have been a daughter, Hazmay would have jumped 'her' in the line of succession. Like Princess Anne was by Andrew and Edward.
So, we got doubly lucky there. Firstborn and male. Thank God.
I couldn't believe he not only betrayed his brother and his lacked loyalty, but Harry was trying to make me turn against Prince William with the digs and betrayal of William throughout the book. The betrayal of their bond of their code with their mother hurt my heart ... and Harry response... I wanted to knock him in the dog bowl!
Yeah, it's actually kind of ironic how Harry's attempts to make William lose likeability made William more likeable and sympathetic for having an awful brother like Harry.
@cryptic8556 so true. The more I read Harry's deliberately mean-spirited nonsense, the less and less I cared for him. He used to be my favorite of the RF. Now? Wow. He's below the bottom.
@@SayItAintSo4real I'm with you on that score. It's a shame Harry has turned on the family. So, so sad.
The saddest part....to me.. William... 'Harold you must listen to me! I love you ! i just want you to happy'.... Harry pulls away...... I swear I swear on mummy's life. Means nothing to Harry .... that made me cry.... how Harry could be so cold....no sibling straight talks like that unless their heart is hurting and they are trying desperately to reach their sibling... the sibling is giving their all to reach you.... It's so cold.... i knew then from experience Harry was gone.... .
@Venus Star Yes, it's so hard when it's a sibling. I hear you. I have a sister I had to cut loose, too. She was jealous of me from the day I was born, just because I was born and took attention from her. You'd think as an adult with a master's degree she'd have grown out of that, but no, even as adults every visit would include her saying something to try to cut me down or destroy me and she was always sabotaging my efforts to get ahead rather than being supportive. And, if I ever say anything about it then she's the victim. I finally had to say enough is enough and cut her loose. I'm sure William has reached that point and wishes he'd reached it sooner. But, it's hard to acknowledge how bad it really is when it's a sibling. Take care.
I think Harry’s problem isn’t with Westminster Abbey but the fact that Williams wedding was just so perfect and his wasn’t anywhere near as good.
You wouldn't expect it to be, if Meghan was involved.
Williams wedding was perfect and Catherine was beautiful they look so happy and in love, i feel sorry for William having an awfull brother like what's his name
He is profoundly affected because he is/was the spare and not the heir. From a young child, he has been brought up with a distinction between William being the future king and not him. The bigger room, the bigger sausage, special meetings between William and Queen Elizabeth II but not Harry, and the misguided desire-expectation that he and William would one day rule together. He's faulting William whatever he can about William, plain and simple nitpicking that only exposes his own insecurities.
Megan couldn’t take not being #1 and Harry sold his soul to her!
@@jacquilane5447 Yet most younger brothers in this position would think themselves lucky that they had the benefit of being royal yet not the responsibilities and obligations that William will one day have and is starting to take on now. Harry has more than demonstrated he would not be up to task anyway.
Sparry is a spiteful, nasty piece of work. I agree with all of your points and think it's so disgusting that he is trying to imply that William had reservations about marrying Catherine and he doubled down on this in the Netflix flopumentary when he implied that William never married for love. Anyone with a sane mind can see just how madly in love W&C are, they were made for each other. Sparry could only wish to ever be so lucky but he's not a good person and deserves everything he gets. I don't think he's happy with Rachel but I do believe he's obsessed with her and truly believes she's the second coming of Diana. He needs serious psychiatric help but sadly has nobody around him willing to speak the truth to him, he's surrounded by yes men and users.
And their “followers” keep the rumour going about William having an affair, even after Giles Coren admitted he’d started it as a joke. I replied to one comment and got a real abusive response, talking about ‘Williams wh*re’ and how Catherine had gone back to live with her parents. Spiteful and stupid
That implication was so hateful. Decent people do not behave as Harry and Meghan do. Period.
I don't even care what others think of the love of Catherine and William, it's the utter betrayal of his brother and Catherine...who always treated Harry like a brother...by making those claims to the world. How can Catherine ever forgive him?
@@dianad1968 point well taken.
If Catharine and William read that Harry believes William did not marry for love would crush Catharine. What a beastly thing to say. Maybe he tally means Meghan didn’t Mary for love.
I was really bothered how he refused to accept responsibility for his lapse in judgment when he wore the nazi uniform to a party. Rather than accept responsibility and admit it was an awful thing to do and talk about how he had learned from his mistake, he did what a 4 and 5 year-old does and try to cast blame on someone else and in this case, Wills and Kate. “Well they laughed about it so I shouldn’t be blamed for it and get mad at them too” is what he is saying. No, Harry, the nazi uniform was your decision and yours alone. I do not allow my child to make excuses for her behavior and I especially will not excuse it in an adult. It shows me he is still mad that he got caught, not that he believed what he did was abhorrent.
He has it hardwired. Deflect any negativity to William. Harry's a Jerk!
Zero conscience
And not to mention Catherine wasn’t even around for the party as she was traveling with her family.
Even if what Harry said about William and Catherine is true (and I do not for a second believe that it is), by Harry's own admission it was HE who narrowed down his costume options to a pilot and a Nazi. Like, before you even bring William and Catherine into it, on his own, Harry can't decide between a pilot and a Nazi?! He needs a second opinion on that? Nazi made his shortlist? That's no one's fault but his. He tries to say his ignorance is partly due to his family, partly education, etc. Well Harry, I can't help but notice no one else in your immediate family dressed up like a Nazi for funsies, nor did they describe their girlfriend as being from Zimbabwe "but don't worry, she's not black or anything", or tell Stephen K Amos that he "doesn't sound like a black chap", or video himself referring to fellow soldiers as "our little paki friend" and "you look like a raghead". He was taught about the Holocaust at school, he just didn't care. That's on him.
Another thing is we have no way of knowing what is true and what he made up. But the fact that he wrote these things are definitely betrayals.
My heart bleeds at the thought how William and Charles still must keep on working, living , smiling. This is a betrayal on a biblical scale . Some crowds shout reconciliation, while others shout -punishment. The family has to live with it..
I know! I think of that, too. It's upset all of us, but the upset William and Catherine must be feeling has to be so much worse. And then they have to put their feelings aside and be there for their children and charities with genuine smiles for all. But, a betrayal like that just takes it out of you. I really don't know how William and Catherine do it.
There's no question of reconciliation. You don't reconcile with a traitor in your family. Nothing will be the same, ever, again. So don't wish for reconciliation but wish for Harry and his vilest wife to be stripped of all Royal connections and for the BRF to be left alone to carry out their duties.
You really exposed Harry for what a jealous brat he is. I haven't read the book, I just couldn't, the same way as I can only use the name Lili. The name Lillibet is the very private pet name of our beloved late Queen. One of the most ultimate betrayals in my mind is telling the world Prince William is circumcised. How dare he, just because Harry is obsessed with his own private parts doesn't give him the right to discuss his brother in that way.
@kkaradin yes i read archie was the name used by the security services for prince george. guess they've had to change that now.
Made me think of Harry’s conciliatory words, “I would like to get my father back, I would like to have my brother back” which now seems outrageous believing he would be welcomed back into the family fold. I don’t think he even realises he had committed betrayal of the worst kind.
It's as though he thinks none of his family members have any feelings. He thinks he can tell their private business to the world and spread whatever malicious lies he wants to and they should just welcome him back with open arms. And, if they don't then they are in the wrong. Only someone with serious psychological issues could be so deluded.
@@mellie5899 Friar Tuck princeling is totally pitiful and insane and the cocktail of drugs only serve to hasten his demise into the nether world as he certainly is not living in this world.
He does not deserve his family back but they would have him in a heartbeat.
There is no way back for Harold the Feral Sparel. He has shown everyone who he really is & Everyone believes him.
@@Betsey353 Exactly!
I'd give a honorable,or rather dishonorable mention in this case, mention of when Harry mentioned that both he and William were circumcised as a betrayal. Nobody needed to know that but if Harry wanted to expose himself like that, fine. That's his decision but I doubt William was consulted about so I don't think it's fair for Harry to expose his brother like that.
Yes!
I came to say the exact same thing. Sad enough that H felt the need to talk about his "todger" several times within one book. But to pull William into this is incredibly disgusting. Not because there is anything embarrassing or shameful to a circumcision, but because it is absolutely none of his business or right to talk about this on Williams behalf. Despicable behavior.
@@outwardbound2241 Harry's "todger talk" really does showcase his level of maturity, doesn't it?
I still can't believe that he mentioned William being circumcised! Now the whole world knows it! Harry is such a horrible brother!
And his appearance on the Stephen Colbert show where he spoke about meeting rugby players in the bath after a game. He’s obsessed with todgers
Horrid Henry's "Spare" left me in no doubt that he wanted to, very spitefully and publicly, tarnish the image we all have of Prince William and Catherine's glorious wedding day 💞👑💕 He really wants his frozen todger to be the memorable wedding image 🤮😲😱🙈👎
Yes! I should have mentioned that too. Truly horrible.
Exactly! I just referred to that too.
He didnt succeed though. We all still think it was a wonderful weddimg. The way they look at each other still only confirms to me just how much they still love each other. King Charles is so caring with Catherine too
@@loopywren The late Queen's reaction to seeing Kate at the wedding was beautiful. Compare it to the scowl and look up and down she gave Meghan Markle. Say no more.
I agree.
I couldn’t read/buy the book. I wouldn’t give H&M a single cent. Thank goodness William was born first.
Same.
Exactly. I didn't read Finding Freedom either.
With better parenting, especially from Diana‘s side, Harry probably would have turned out very differently. Spoiling a child and not showing them that actions have consequences never helps them later in life.
If it is true that Diana told H that he could basically do anything he wanted to, but to not get caught, then she was demonstrably not a fit parent. We know she was not emotionally stable, but to encourage a child like H, who she admitted was not smart and was like her, is so sad.
Exactly on point. By giving an emotional response to this awful book, you have highlighted the personality flaws that Harry is trying to hide. He really is most unlikeable. If he has so little insight into his own families feelings, his philanthropy is all an act. He’s reveals himself to the world, with all his warts!!
I didn’t read the book but I did see a clip of an interview where they read the line about Williams baldness and he smirked. I thought that was awful. I’m not saying that he had to get along with his brother. Some siblings just don’t get along. But he went after him. He picked him apart. Enemies do that.
I wonder if H has looked in the mirror?
He did call William his archenemy in like the first line of the book
Harry must be reminded that his own baldness is being covered up with surgery. He is still bald.
especially the rear view!@@gailmartin3731
I couldn't bring myself to read it, but I appreciate those who did so I wouldn't have to. I hadn't heard these specific betrayals before so thank you for covering them. The worst betrayal of his that I've heard about was when he was flying a plane over his father and "chose" to let him live. Hearing that in his own words as well as other stories about him hurting animals and physically attacking several women I'm feeling like Harry is literally a psychopath or sociopath.
Good point. It does sound like psychopath or sociopath, which is worse and more dangerous than a narcissist. That's scary for anyone near him.
That bit of the book was truly nauseating. Who on earth let him put that in his book, and how on earth does he think he comes out of it looking good? He’s certainly shown his true self
@@marybalding1435 I suspect his mind doesn't function all the time. He is empty headed.
@@SayItAintSo4real agree
I'm both shocked and not shocked at this. I don't know how some people can still defend Harry.
Thank you so much for breaking up these little details from the book about how Harry really betrayed William. He can't be forgiven for all, and I highly doubt they would reconcile. The jealous ginger ugly monster should be totally stripped
I’ve been listening to the book on audible, I’ve had to take extended breaks because just listening to him drone on with his incessant negativity against his family coupled with fantastical portrayals of himself and his wife is just too much. As for William’s baldness, I’m sure that a crown will cover it nicely.
😂
bwahahaha, now that is a good one! William is still handsome, bald or not. And unless his idiot brother, he knows how to shave and keep his remaining hair neat and groomed.
The “on Mummy’s life” betrayal is just like naming his daughter Lilibet.
This book gave me absolutely no doubt that if we lived in a time in the rather distant past, Harry would have been one of those spares who plotted the murder of his brother, the king. And if unsuccessful, would have his head on a spike on top of the Tower of London. This has given me a better understanding of the history I have read all my life.
Excellent point and I think you are so correct in saying that 👍
And until something is done to stop him having these thoughts, I would not put anything past this crazy princeling and his master to plot something like that so they can ascend the throne, which is what they both dream of.
@@dianebreyer5316 very good point but it would have been on the southern gate of london bridge.
Twisted but true. It's really sad to watch the downfall of Prince Henry
@@Champagneforever It was always true, but because of his mother's death, the press actually left him alone. He just thought he should be left alone while the taxpayers and his father supported his way into his adulthood. It takes a village to fail him also.
Avid Gardener sent me here and I have to say how right she was. You are so spot on with your analysis of some of the betrayals in H's book. What an awful person he appears to be. Crying for privacy and yet betraying the privacy of his family. Thank you, I'm now a subscriber.
I also came to this channel per Avid Gardner. So happy to have found this brilliant channel. I’m looking forward to watching previous videos.
I used to like Harry but that was before he opened his mouth and started talking and everything out of his mouth was designed to make the whole world feel sorry for him. There is something disgusting and repulsive about a millionaire prince who constantly whines about what a rough life he has. There is also something extremely disgusting and repulsive about someone who would spend all his time stabbing his own family in the back. Yes, I USED to like him. I now dislike him intensely!
I loved it when you said that Prince William MIGHT have had "red eyes" because it was brought home to him again that his mother would miss this milestone in his life. Of course Harry did not consider that possibility because he is so self-centered that he is incapable of putting himself in another person's place and imagining what they might be feeling. His snarky digs at Prince William throughout his book I think is not only because Prince William is the better-looking prince, but Prince William is also the one who will one day be king, and I think that is eating Harry alive.
He can whine on about sausages and the size of rooms and who is losing the most hair, but the bottom line is, dear Harry, YOUR BROTHER WILL BE KING...NOT YOU! I didn't read Waaagh and if he comes out with another book, I will not read that either. I also gave the Netflix propaganda piece a miss. He lies so much that I don't see that anything would be accomplished by listening to a single word that comes out of his mouth. Also, I will NEVER do anything to put even one thin dime in the pocket of this overgrown, bratty, irresponsible, whining, STUPID little man who used to be prince!
BTW, the very title of his book is a lie because he is NOT the Spare and has not been since the birth of Prince George a decade or so ago. The births of Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis moved him even further from the position of "spare" and having lost that position, he pretty much is currently NOTHING. Maybe that should have been the title of his book because "nothing" is a more accurate description of him than "spare".
And as Columbo used to say, "There's just one more thing." It may come as a shock to Harry but I think most of us are not at all interested in learning when he lost his virginity. We are much more interested in knowing when he lost his ever-lovin' mind!
Well said 💎
@@bluediamond4502 spot on
Bravo! Very well and thoroughly said.👏👏👏
Excellent summation of every pathetic bit of his character.
Well said!!!!
That Harry says the door's open and that the ball's in their hands for a reconciliation is just repulsive. With an apology first, of course.
'William looked as though he had been crying' then H blubbed all the way through his own
I didn’t see anybody „blubbing“ and „all the way“ during the wedding.
Getting mean and petty isn’t necessary, the Harkles are bad enough.
@@Celisar1 Totally Agree with you I never saw either of them Crying at their wedding and I Can’t stand Harry 🙄🤦♀️
Harry was blubing because his member was chafing. No other reason apart from he can see William got the fairytale wife.
the thought of the way he betrayed William breaks my heart 😢
It's the disclosure of private conversations that is heartbreaking.
I laughed out loud at your comment about baldness vs being better looking 💓
Bit naughty but I feel he deserves it!
William is the better looking. He looks like his mother. Harry is not bad looking either but he definitely looks more like Charles and the Queen. And the Queen was a real beauty.
@@thevintageread @lululovestoplan Plus once the crown is on his head nobody will notice a bald spot!
@@fumszy I don't think he looks anything like the Queen.
@@aminajibril7651 well, Charles looks like the Queen, and harry looks Charles, ergo....but I accept every one sees differently.
Really love your thoughtful and insightful comments. You seem a warm hearted, compassionate yet intellectually very able person. Thank you. Please keep going through the book!
Thank you! 😊
I agree!!
I agree.
vintage read not only seems it, she is it, the real deal.
I'm so glad you are doing these synopses -- it totally validates my feeling that I would just be totally enraged. Harry is a shallow, narcissitic, jerk. You just have to look at William and Catherine and how they look at each other to see what a solid partnership they have. You are right - the level of betrayal makes it clear Harry has absolutely no regard for his relationship with his brother, his father or the rest of his family for that matter.
Totally agree, & I listened twice to him reading all that guff in his own voice, so there was no mistaking the meaning!! As you rightly said that description of his big brother and protector on the occasion of his wedding was the final nail in the coffin of Harry’s image executed to perfection by he himself!! He’s no victim he showed himself to be a vindictive malicious jealous entitled pathetic & inadequate brat… he destroyed any remaining skerrick of empathy I may have had and changed my mind about levelling all blame at Meghan, I honestly think theirs is a perfect match. I found this book so nauseating & revoltingly & so pretentious that I sent it back to Audible! So I’m unable to go back to it not that I want to waste more time on such a pathetic waste of space! However his descriptions of his gleeful tormenting of his teachers, that poor long suffering Marco, and his description of losing his virginity were other repulsive 🤢 passages….
From reading Valentine Low’s book about how the system of courtiers works for the Royals, I bet that they have all had summaries at the very least. I would even bet that some younger Senior Royals read it for themselves after getting the summaries. This is serious stuff, and they would want firsthand knowledge of it. Love this channel!
I think the jealousy of his very handsome brother is loud and clear …..not just his hair, but his face, skin tone, eyes, his smile….his wife , his wealth, his future, his homes…the list of his jealousy is overwhelming
and Harry wearing shoes with lifts (starting when they unveiled their mother's statue) because William is a couple of inches taller
I don't think I'll ever read his book. From the reviews provided by various people it seems to be very toxic and something my life can do without. I have a similar situation with a brother that has behaved poorly towards me and divulged things that should have remained private. Also his "truth" is very selective and is not something I recognise as being factual.
I can empathise with the royal family how painful it is to have someone attack you like this. Being done on a worldwide stage I inly imagine the additional pain and humiliation that must inflict.
I can relate to how incredibly toxic people like hawwy are and they seem to think nothing they say no matter how hurtful is 'meant to deliberately betray and hurt' the receiver because it is 'their truth' and so it is 'the' truth and therefore 'we' should be happy to know it and 'improve' and love them for telling us 'the' truth. They are a thousand times crazier than the mere word 'crazy' means.
I haven't read the book myself. All I know is through other channels, and the many hours of commentary and reading passages.
What struck me most is how long Harry went on believing that Diana hadn't died. I'm convinced William talked to him about his journey of acceptance and his search for the true Diana. And I'm convinced Harry has rejected William from that moment on. Harry's betrayal, and him not believing William, is long-standing, pervasive and persistent. I see it in how Harry treats *nothing* connected to William as sacred. There is no line that Harry won't cross. And I don't believe Harry wants to reconcile.
Betraying those secret oaths or passwords make me think of him naming his daughter Lilibet - that secret, private pet name that the Queen would never in her life have heard coming out of the mouth of anyone but her beloved parents, sister, and husband. As betrayals go, that was as emotionally violent as a physical blow.
This nickname was actually well known before this but no one would ever have had the poor taste to use it before these two due to their respect for the Queens special memories
@@maryl8753 Exactly. Everybody knew, but nobody would have been so insensitive and tone deaf as to violate what little intimate privacy that very public family had been able to construct for itself.
His writing proves that he was always jealous of William but didn't voice it until he met his wife. She poured the gasoline to the fire, that is going to burn him to the ground one day.
I heard the secret word was to ensure that the other brother would know he was telling the truth. And william said it but harry did not believe him. I told this to my wife and it almost made me cry. What a betrayal. William may as well been kicked in the face.
We should stop calling it spare and call the book what it is, betrayal. Thank you for taking one for us. I will never read it.
Thank you I just couldn’t read the book but I have kept up with its contents. Cheere Denise went through the whole book with her hazzy impersonations etc. so brought a bit of comedy into it as well. That is the only way I could do it.
It is so despicable the things he says about his brother and as you pointed out discussing their private language regarding their mother is unforgivable. I think it is good that William knows that his brother is lost to him now. It is painful but life goes on and William has much bigger things to consider and take care of. 💎🙏💕🐨
Still find it unbelievable that Charles thought it appropriate to invite his younger son to his Coronation. He "had" to invite him? WHY???
The envy is real...even down to an extra sausage!
He deserves the little sausage 😆😅
I never believed Harry's version of that story. It was more likely he was told that William was bigger than him. That is an answer that a lot of parents can relate to.
Harry only cares about his privacy certainly not anybody else’s.
My husband and I married on a date that was remembered for something terribly sad. We tried to bring just a little happiness to that date. And as the years have passed, I think we did.
The commentary here gets better and better. I thought it a heartbreaking moment for William when he swore on their mother's life and Harry didn't believe him. They were over then. But then Harold sharing it in his book? No coming back.
The oath certainly got me, William was pleading his brother to reevaluate his actions, but Harry proved he is so messed up that even the mention of their mother couldn’t get him out of this fog. It’s certainly a good question to ask how much of this current Harry has been the Harry we all never thought he would be, or if there was an old Harry who died at that moment and we are seeing a new version of Harry that is irredeemable.
PH had this book ready to go while his grandmother , Queen Elizabeth, was alive and frail. I hope she did not ever read (or hear HIS OWN VOICE narrating) any part of the book's vitriol. PH also let the Oprah interview be aired while his grandfather, Prince Phillip, was in his last days. Did he lose his conscience when he met MM, or had this part of PH been carefully covered up?
"Did he lose his conscience when he met MM, or had this part of PH been carefully covered up?"
No, he and Skank (MM) are both flaming, hypocritical narcissists who are both equally cupable, eager wannabe destroyers of what they can't have (no doubt in my mind that William was Skank's real target as she sees herself as a Queen and Hank is so conceited that he believes he should be King instead of William). Narcissists are usually characterized by a lack of conscience, no empathy and no moral compass.
I am from South Africa. I so enjoy my 'tea time'' with you! Thank you!❤ 😊 Just to add on to Harry's nastiness: in the same paragraph where he mentioned the baldness, he also pointed out, almost gleefully, that William's close resemblance to Diana was fading with age. So unnecessary. 😢
He is eaten up with jealously.
And no true…
Wow the wedding comments and the recount of their trip to Diana’s grave. Those two hit me the hardest. What a vile horrible thing to do, to put the implication in that William was 1.upset before his wedding and 2. He was a bit drunk plus the comments about the church etc Their wedding was beautiful and Kathryn looked amazing and you could see the love between them unlike his own wedding which was a fake Hollywood production starring Meghan. Also how low to talk about their very personal moments visiting Diana’s grave. It’s beyond words what a betrayal that was. 😡
Like a lot of people, I thank you for reading a book that I absolutely refuse to as these tidbits are more than enough. William & Catherine's wedding was stunningly beautiful happy and joyful from start to finish. William looked so dashing in his uniform with not a hint of anything negative...at all. And I have never seen a more confident bride ever as Catherine was. Here she is on the world's stage walking with her father with nothing but joy and the strength of knowing they had made the right choice. Beautiful. Hazz & Nutmeg's wedding was a fiasco from the beginning and Hazz didn't look happy, nervous or eager, he just looked tired and strained. Of course Nutmeg was a mess with a nasty smirk on her face and who can forget the clownish minister. Fiasco. Hazz forgets that the world has been watching and taking notes and are more than at the ready to proven him and his nasty vile wife as the lying grifters they are. Someday maybe they'll get it. Doubtful but I hope Hazz gets it and gets out.
I’m afraid it’s been a while since I believed anything from Harry , not just that it didn’t happen the way he described it, but that it likely didn’t happen at all . He really has become a nasty piece of work.
I have no interest in reading the book. My stomach hurts just hearing about it.
How can somebody who has had so much given to him be so petty? With his connections and status he could be doing so much good in the world, alas we must all feel sorry for him. Good lord it’s time he grew up.
A book club friend bought it and wanted our club to read it....the vote was 11 NO and 1 YES. Stunned that the older brother who so lovingly looked after his little brother would be treated in such cruel ways in the book. Rewatched the wedding video of the April 2011 wedding and saw a happy bridegroom and his equally happy brother.
Harry is the absolute nadir of mendacity.
He would have been better suited to the 15th century.
Harry is the cruel and hurtful one.....he is everything he says he despises.
First, my compliments for your choices and analysis of them! Second, this book shows us without any reasonable doubt, that Priсk Sparry has been simply consumed with jealousy and hatred of William since childhood. He's never matured emotionally and intellectually since that point as a result (full developmental arrest), instead becoming nothing but a selfish, spiteful, completely self-absorbed, self-unaware middle-aged spoiled brat who thinks the world's owes him. When he speaks I have to remind myself that he's actually rapidly approaching middle-age, and not the whining, self-aggrieved 10 year that he's actually coming across as!.
His choice of me-Me-MEhgain was deliberate in that she was the perfect weapon he could use against a family/institution that he hates so passionately. Those who blame this scheming, social-climbing slag he married for his behavior are wrong to do so in that he's a willing, eager partner in their attempts to destroy his family and at the same time profit from it.
But I think he was her choice in useful idiots too. Her social climbing went up several notches and I’m sure she thought she could offload him, as she did her other partners and family, when she’d got what she wanted. However, now she’s stuck with him, he’s not as rich as she thought, she’s going down in popularity with him and when (and not if, I’m sure of it) she moves on he will be destroyed and she’ll just step over the body. No sympathy for either of them
@@yylow7008 agree
I agree, but it raises the question of why MM would endorse/co-write it.
@@marybalding1435 "But I think he was her choice in useful idiots too."
I'd agree with you. Duke Druggy and Duchess Diva both "sync" together because they're both narcissists with the same agenda when it comes to the RF. Now as narcissists, I would not be surprised if one as malignant as me-Me-MEhgain didn't also have her own personal goals as well and Sparry's not the sharpest pencil in the box, a perfect foil for her pattern of use'em-then-lose'em when he's outlived his "sell by date" in her overarching ambition to enrich herself with all the money and fame she can grasp with those ugly claws of hers.
@@jannford9059 "whdy MM would endorse/co-write it."
Sparry is her mouthpiece and her performance art where she claimed she was letting him "do his thing" is her plausible deniability cover (she can "get her licks in " at the RF and Sparry will take the all blame if the enterprise goes pear-shaped)
Megan was the one writing the book at this point, she would have had to try and destroy the beautiful memories everyone had, and still has of the Cambridge's wedding, pure love, surrounded by both of their families as opposed to hers, no family on her side but her mother and holywood actors the majority unknown to them. A total fiasco, in comparison.
Also, what a dolt. Does he not consider his mother died when she was 36? We never got to see her age and get older! So how can he say his brother doesn't look like his mom any more when his age has surpassed his mother's final year? He just doesn't WANT to see his mum in the brother he clearly has hated and resented a VERY long time.
Haz’s jealous resentment of W&K’s vastly more popular marriage, their bigger, more beautiful wedding and home, even their children, were outed in Spare. As was his resentment of their superior compatibility, intelligence, kindness, generosity, good looks, royal status, loyalty, charm, and popularity ect.
But it was the success of their decades long loving, happy, fun-loving, and supportive relationship that he’s apparently become the most jealous and resentful of.
Understandable since, despite their constant claims to the contrary, his own relationship has been on a downward trajectory since their wedding, with him nearly always looking miserable and his wife smiling and playing attention to everyone but him, especially if they have a camera.
While W&K’s relationship has appeared to actually get stronger, happier, more confident and secure over the years. They still have fun together, treat each other with respect, and are often caught sneaking affectionate touches and looking at each other with pride and admiration as one or the other is speaking. But besides their excessive, immature, handholding, we haven’t seen anything close to similar from H&M since the end of the first love bombing stage, making it clear that all those lovey-dovey looks, at least on Megan’s part, were sadly never real to begin with. And whether he realizes that or not, he’s obviously recognized the differences between their relationship and his own, likely even comparing his wife to W’s, at least subconsciously. And because he’s incapable of taking responsibility for his bad choices, or placing blame on himself or Meghan, he’s channeled all these negative feelings into hate and blame of his once beloved brother and sister-in-law. 😔
that is the appalling thing - the petty jab at William's baldness (it gives us a good insight on Harry's personality here - not to his advantage) is useless and serves nothing. The sharing of an emotional, private conversation is disgusting. And that jerk went in one of his interviews about needing conversation with his father and brother and hoping it will be private and stay private. How dare he????
Pero si el muy insano .. Hasta en el velorio de su majestad.. Andaban con micrófono 🎙.. En el jubileo de su majestad andaban con micrófono 🎤..Inteligente esté Harry no es para nada..
saludos
Did not Harry also say that Diana had now left William to be with him? Where to begin….
Really? So Harry is now some kind of spirit medium? Or could we just chalk it up to a weird mummy obsession with everything Harry has revealed about himself?
Harry is extremely toxic
@@juliecrowe5252 true! Imagine feeling the presence of your passed mother (many religions/world literature/history describes this state. And then your soulless brother goes: Nope, not anymore! Now she is with me!!! I mean…..
I must admit that I could not finish the book. The level of immaturity, the repeated proof of arriving at absurd conclusions due to his lack of intellectual ability, the number of obvious lies, errors or revisions of history was just overwhelming.
I was immediately struck by the level of self absorption Harry demonstrated when meeting Charles & William after Phillips funeral. He showed no compassion for his father. He showed no awareness of the family history and lessons Charles had tried to share over the years. His expectation that his desire for a big conversation focused on his issues should be dealt with at that time and place was simply ludicrous. He was oblivious that this was a moment when family should come together and support each other in a shared loss. To my mind that opening chapter summarized exactly what a shallow self absorbed dimwitted person Harry is.
Plus he whined and sniffled that his Dad didn't hug him when his Mother died--It doesn't appear Harry hugged his Dad when his Dad died or when his Dad's mother died--rather he sniped at him and had Scoobie Doo release something scathing to the press.
I couldn’t bring myself to finish the audio book, after finding out what he did to his pony. She was pregnant and quite old, and he was told not ride her in a polo match, but he did. She died shortly after the match. There’s photos of him on her and he’s way too big for her, and he’s known for using spurs and pushing horses too far. Horrible.
I’m sorry Harry never learned supportive family values. He is missing so much.
You're absolutely right! Harold is Horrid!
It's shocking but by now it's no surprise.
All great points. You really demonstrated how Harry simply does not have the filter that most people have. He doesn't see the line between what he is compelled to do and what is the right thing to do.
@@yylow7008 If he was ok in the head, he wouldn't treat his family like this despite the fact that his wife's lot in life is to alienate family.
I don’t know how I found you, but you’re a delight!
Isn't it interesting that harry can share PRIVATE conversations and that's okay.
I personally believe that the whole thing is a figment of his imagination.
I had a nip of whisky with my Dad before my wedding
"he's still the better looking Prince" 👏👏👏
I refuse to read the book (or buy it) but the constant griping by H & M, and the inconsistencies and backtracks are a huge deterrent. however, hearing that he betrayed sacred family moments and disclosed them (including the key words) that historially helped to retain the sanctity and connection of the brothers, screams that he does not care, has no respect for ,and no desire to resolve matters with William and in fact his envy and jealousy (combined iwth arrogance) is almost singular. He may be suffering from a Personality Disorder but i do believe Charles needs to think of William and himself now. How many people have been killed by family members experiencing drug psychosis? They never thought it would happen and loved their family member. Love from a distance I say - and be safe. Harry is a total toxic liability. If i was KC III i'd offer support over the phone but even then you wouldn't know if it was going to be tapped, or sms shown on TV.
Problem with Charles is that he always has been about him self. List of priorities for him is 1.Charles 2. his job 3. Camilla and only than everything else. Charles is good at his job, but that's all. He will take care of his image, as he always has, but he won't appreciate son who never said anything bad about him and who now supports him.
Harry is either utterly despicable or stark raving mad!…Or both!
Wouldn’t read trash. He’s to bizarre. Love your interesting analysis of the book the man needs help! Thanks so much. Blessings to you
Thanks for watching!
@@thevintageread welcome
I don’t believe in anything he says. I don’t even believe he likes his mother or the memory of her. It’s all to make people feel sorry for him.
Harry, just as his grandmother the late Queen Elizabeth ll suggested has a very selective memory.
For the love of God how many times since his mother’s funeral has he walked down the aisle of Westminster Abbey, seriously? It must be countless times.
Yet, he has to taint the happy and fabulous day, the wedding of his brother with this comment.
Not only is it a betrayal it’s downright spiteful and vindictive.
I’m seething 😡.
I really love your comments and I can only continue saying "Harry was jealous, he is jealous and will ever be." And his narcissitic personality will not change. He really needs professional help but first of all he has to realize this. Poor creature. He will live an unhappy life till his end and everything he does to fill the gapse in himself will destroy him in the end.
Yes! Spiteful it is.
@@gudrunstauffer7971 "He will live an unhappy life till his end and everything he does to fill the gapse in himself will destroy him in the end."
Good riddance to bad rubbish! (I'm reminded of a line from the Bible which says "He who digs a pit will fall into it, and he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him" ( Proverbs 26:27 or in more modern parlance : "Karma, it's a b***h!")
@@gladiatrx3 yes, and on the other hand we read in the bible that we should love our enemies. That is one of the most difficult tjings and we cannot do this without Jesus Christ.
But for Harry...we only can pray for his mental health...
@@gudrunstauffer7971 I have done a lot of research on narcissism. They can't be helped.
thank you for your heart felt interpretation of this case of Harry's madness and ultimate betrayal.
Prince William is very handsome, inside as well as out!
Harry's book really revealed his immaturity and entitlement. He is really a nasty piece of work inside.
the perfect description 'a nasty piece of work'
I still can't believe just how much Harry betrayed both his father & brother in this pitiful book. I believed it couldn't get any lower than his putting into print, the private words spoken by his father, to both William and Harry & Prince Philip's funeral & the secret code between these 2 brothers "on mummy's life" & how William used this code to get through to thick headed, younger, way less intelligent brother, when they rowed out to where Diana is buried. I can't imagine how hurtful this must have been to both KCIII & Prince William. Mind you these horrible betrayals in the book, were seen after the betrayals aired by Netflix! I am still in shock that Harry had the gall to say he was the only one in the family to marry for love & that everyone else married according to the institutional "fit". He's a nasty, spiteful little maggot, who fully deserves the lonely, isolated existence that awaits him once Meghan realizes she can't draw blood from stone.
Little maggot is pretty fitting for both of them.
The way Harry describes William in his book tells you all you need to know. Harry had a massive score to settle and he went after his brother hard! That was such a crazy description, and if you watch the Anderson Cooper interview, AC reads this part and when he mentioned baldness Harry smirks this sick smile as he hears his own words. It’s pretty unhinged! I feel so bad for the RF who must’ve been heartbroken watching this train wreck without being able to save Harry. They had to watch him just slip away. It’s so sad!
Love your videos, thank you 😊
Glad you like them!
LOVE your videos! It feels like we are all in a big book club. I read the book and almost hurt my ocular muscles rolling my eyes. He is very snide and filled with loathing and jealousy for his brother. And what man writes about lip gloss and bridesmaid dresses...?
So obvious that M wrote large chunks of the book!!
They sound like scenes from the movie, MEAN GIRLS
@@qhluvr77:BINGO 👍
Love this channel. Couldn't agree with you more!
Haven't read it, but the extract that caused me to feel real hatred for Harry was the bit where he calls his therapist after the dog bowl incident. After 22 months of this lie that the palace wouldn't let Meghan get therapy.
I listened to HG Tudor analysis of Spare through the lens of Narcissism. I refused to pay the traitor prince any money. HGTudors analysis is excellent.
One day his children will be able to read this book...and their friends too. What a horrible legacy to leave them. There friends will get to know daddy is circumcised, he had a frost bitten todger. Where daddy lost his virginity and that daddy has taken drugs on a regular basis and not just as a silly teenager either. I don't suppose either he or his wife have thought about the teasing, ridicule and embarrassment that this book will bring Archie and Lili. I really feel for them.
I can just imagine King Charles sitting on his throne, "Their betrayal will be dealt with" Ala Palpatine Order 66 style
Oh my, my heart feels so sad for William, he has so much to deal with in this horrible betrayal. Thank you for summarising this, I'm glad I didn't subject myself, it's upsetting.
His behavior is of a teenager with a lack of accountability, who thinks exposing his family, will make him look as a powerful leader. He has damaged his own reputation with his actions.
Personal opinion after publishing his book he has made look better Prince William, better person and leader.
One thing no one has really talked about is that Harry said to William and his dad right after Prince Phillips funeral, but you know why I had to leave right? and William said no I don't and then he look at Prince Charles and he said he didn't know either. Harry was shocked!! I wish that was spoken about more often. The one thing that would be horrible in my opinion would be that Prince William was circumcized.
I have only recently found you. I have looked back on a number of videos. You say how I feel. I shall be glad when the Coronation is over and everyone in the palace can be at peace. It must be so stressful wondering what these two are going to pull off. I feel so deeply for our King and everyone involved even the children will pick up the feelings. I wasnt against the Royal family more took them for granted. Well those two have succeeded in making me much more interested, exactly the opposite to what they wished. The family are more popular than they have been for a long time.
What a refreshing Australian view of Harry and Meghan. But I think that many journalists place too much stress on the proposed truth from Harry. I think most of it was made up.
I really enjoy the points you make and the true feelings you put into your take on the books. Will continue to watch from Tennessee. Thank you for sharing your passion for reading and reviewing the books. 😊
Thank you!
