SPARE

How can anyone have sympathy for the authors inability to come to terms with his mothers death, having bragged about killing 25 Afghanistan fighters, all were some mothers son and possibly also daughters, no notches on the butts of military weapons.

SPARE
- paul earwicker (10th Jan 2023 - 18:13:51)
Hi,
Why would anyone pay £28 book price for drivel?
A privileged and wealthy, when he was a young man, (and left millions by his late mother).
If life has been so tough growing-up, (brother seems o.k.), and left his inherited (tax-payer funded) royal duties. Where is the quiet life the couple so desire in California?

Why write a post on it then? Just don’t read it - I won’t be!

he didn't brag about killing taliban
in the book he says that with modern soldiering everything is recorded and he knew how many he had killed
his training he says takes out the personal making the soldiers detached and better able to do a job and then he talks about ptsd from guys who get left behind
i'm not sure how anyone who loses their mother at 12 and then watches their dad marry the woman he was having an affair with for the whole of the marriage ever gets over something like that
lot of sympathy for the guy - he's very damaged - but a brave boy

As ex military, I know people first hand who served with him. He was never in any danger, I seriously doubt he personally 'did anything' like what is being reported currently. I will say no more on details.
It's now being correctly reported in the US media that most of the photos 'on duty' were pre-arranged opportunities with the press including the famous dash from camp to the Apache.

I do not feel sorry for him he always knew he was not going to inherit the throne and should have found better ways to deal with it than trying to make money from his perceived personal pain and family arguments. So much for wanting privacy for his family which was the reason given for moving to America.

Hi,
Good news is the book is now half-price (£14) at Sainsburys.
Hope there are lots of unsold copies that can be re-cycled as pulp, to re-use for printing good books.

Harry says that Camilla is dangerous for her strategy of courting the tabloid press..............!
Really?
Harry, did you miss the irony in there somewhere?
The US media, can anyone really court them and predict the results???

Spoilt rather than Spare.
He is not Harry Potter.
He is not the messiah, he's just a very spoilt brat!
And his wife, only in recent events, she had turned racists those who were never going to be...

Telling the world how many you have killed while on active service in the British armed forces is not only cruel and insensitive, but also an offence under the Official Secrets Act.
So an act of treason! Send him to the tower to be disposed of by His Majesty (aka Dad)
