Well my library copy of Spare arrived and have just finished reading it.
Thoughts..Harry needed to grieve his mother but he didnt really get to. He was British, and they dont cry. They keep calm and carry on.
Actually Harry didnt keep too calm, he drank and smoked trying to forget, went to the army to be away from the paps. The army refused to take him on a frontline role. This part of the book was boring for me. Im not interested in what he got up to in the army.
Then he met Meghan and married. He didnt really prepare her for the press intrusion of her life. The paps were mean. Then they left the royal family to live in the US. I dont know what the big deal is its all quite understandable and not really any need to write a 400 page book on it.
Harrys gaffes etc well his excuse is he was stoned and wasnt thinking. Ok. Also his dads advice, dont pay any attention to the paps and press fell on deaf ears. They tried to counter every fake story and sue the press, while simultaneously making their own press. Its terribly confusing for any outsider, I mean whats this all about. its not as if his dad, and William werent humilated too, sometimes with their own behaviours reflected badly on them.
I think he shouldnt have cared so much about what people/press said of him or Meghan and grown. a thicker skin and opted for a private life, had a wedding in Botswana and given his brother a bit of space. obviously they royals have their own gossip columnists and theres nothing really stopping their staff from talking, just as in hollywood the hairdressers know everything and speculating about what they are privy to or overhear.
the whole thing is actually kind of boring. So what if Charlottes dress required another fitting or Meghan borrowed Kates lip gloss, or they had no easter gifts. It is just so NOT important in the real scheme of things. Even if Harry attended a strip poker and dressed as a nazi, who really cared, and if he was too stoned to register just why that was not a good idea then he only had himself to blame for being a bit clueless and immature.
