Diana had a rough childhood with her mother leaving when she was young, her father really wanting a son, and being sent off to boarding school at a young age. She craved love - but married the wrong man. Charles was older, already in love with Camilla, and had little in common with Diana. She did what she could to get Charles to pay attention to her. In the end she smothered her children with love to make up for all the love she missed in her life. She apparently drove the other men in her life crazy calling them hundreds of times because she wanted attention. Diana was a lovely person who did a lot for the charities she supported, and truly was loved by millions of people - but she really needed a man in her life devoted to her to give her the love she needed. I wouldn’t say she had mental problems. Harry on the other hand seems to have a lot of mental issues. He’s mentally stuck as a child. He seems to always see himself as a victim. He’s done a lot of drugs, and I’m really wondering if he has some brain damage. I also wonder if he has some ADHD and Dyslexia . He might have some PTSD from his mother passing away.
@lostcontrol1981...I agree with you. Diana's mother took off with a man. Don't think she seen Diana often. Is Diana's brother younger? The thing that doesn't get much attention. Charles had to find a wife. He actually dated Diana's sister for a short time. Diana knew he had to marry a virgin. Friends said she had her eye on him is why she didn't try to get a serious boyfriend. Diana wasn't a good student. She didn't like her step mother. She went off to a finishing school. Her father allowed her to leave school. She moved into an apartment in London, probably family owned. Diana was a member of the aristocracy. She knew the rules.
Prince Philip had a terrible childhood he was born as a prince but when he was a baby they had to flee into exile. When he was a young boy his father abandoned the family and his mother was committed to an asylum. Philip was sent away to boarding school in The UK and to live with his uncle’s family. He learned to be self reliant and later he gave up his career in the royal navy to support the queen. Harry should have used his grandfather as an example instead of criticising him and whining about absolutely everything.
You are absolutely right! Prince Philip also lost a sister in a plane crash. And the Palace did not like him in the beginning…he didn’t have an easy time especially with the Queen Mother. But did he run to the press to complain?
And he was smuggled out of Greece in a orange crate when he was 18 months. He fought in WWII. His dedicated his whole life to family, duty and country. His mothers life was so tragic. Prince Philip did the best he could, of what he had to face in life. He lived a fascinating life, and had his share of hardships, and met an ever changing world around him. And when he was dying, Harry and Meghan sat on Oprah, lying and feeling sorry for themselves having to learn the National Anthem. Planing their tv series of lies. The audacity, the narcissism, and the lack of grace and understanding for other human beings.
The more I hear Hypocrite Harry’s sob story, the more annoyed I become. It is sad that Dianna was killed when he was 12, I agree with that. However many children lost a parent at a young age, myself included. My father passed when I was six, and my mother had to work full time to support us, so I was a latch key kid. We didn’t have a lot of money, and lived in a one room apartment for years until we could afford a bigger place. We didn’t have a car, or a TV, because there wasn’t enough money for that. We didn’t take vacations, or eat out very often. It wasn’t an easy childhood, but apparently my childhood was way better than this spoiled prince, because I didn’t wallow in my self pity, nor did I grow up to be angry and blame the world for my problems. He is such a miserable person, and really for no good reason, and this book is making me dislike him more and more.
Something I love about King Charles that I think makes a lot of people find him unlikable is that he’s more intellectual and sensitive than the rest of his family. Definitely more than Harry.
In the end, I believe Half-Wit's white-hot rage is mostly for his mother who abandoned him to run off to sunny France on holiday with a boyfriend. PROVE ME WRONG.
Interesting take on the situation. Could it be his seeming endless devotion to his mother after her death is to suppress the guilt he felt by accusing her of abandoning him?
There’s literally a public court circular detailing all activities & engagements of all working Royals available online. Sorry, but Diana had great respect for the Queen & Monarchy. Prince Philip & the Queen were fond of Diana, and largely held Charles responsible for the failure of their marriage, despite knowing that Diana had a long term affair with her married bodyguard. Even after their separation & divorce, the Queen insisted that Diana remain living in her Royal apartments to be close to her boys, & still financed Diana’s lifestyle & charity commitments. Charles felt responsible for Diana’s death & spent years in therapy. The suggestion that therapy was ‘not allowed’ for any Royal member is utter BS.
I may be wrong, but I feel it was Prince Charles who supported Diana stay in Kensington Palace to be close for the boys' sake they often shared and discussed the boys afairs
Many people do not know these things. Thank you for pointing out I’m getting tired of repeating myself 🤣🤣. Diana ran the halls of Windsor castle as a child with Andrew and Edward they found secret passages and hidden corridors no one even knew of. The Spencer family had served the Crown for hundreds of years. There are many family Aristocratic ties. Diana was the only person who could sit outside the Queens day meeting room and when a person left she would run in crying she called her mum. There was a deep affection ….. the Queen felt for her but DID NOT understand her mental and emotional craziness. Philip tried to talk sense to her that if she focused on service and others ….. that part they did not understand they came from the generation YOU JUST GOT ON WITH IT
It was Charles who removed her HRH.... he already knew at that point he planned on marrying Camilla & couldn't have 2 HRH Princess of Wales, although out of respect for Diana she never used that title. William allegedly told her that he would give her the HRH back when he became King..
The King is well read and probably understands Shakespeare more than H, even if H studied him for 10 yrs. I tend to think that IF the story is true , The King was probably laughing at the funny parts that went straight over Hs head.
Somewhere on CZcams is a video of William and Harry, circa 2015, talking about their father. Apparently he always went to their school plays, sometimes with Prince Philip in tow, and they both used to laugh when no one else was laughing. Apparently Charles has a very loud laugh, too. In this 2015 video, though, both boys seemed now to find it amusing - as you would once you look back through adult eyes. William spoke of his play in which his arrival on stage was supposed to be accompanied by a sound effect, but the effect was delayed. His father was in fits and William spoke of giving him "the death stare" - but he was laughing at the memory. As was Harry when recalling his plays. The thing is, both boys were talking about prep school plays, so as far back as childhood, they knew what to expect from Charles and Philip. Charles has a very quirky sense of humour and would likely see something amusing where others might not, so why Harry would suddenly find his father's laughter a shocker at age 18 is odd. Especially as a few years ago he found it amusing.
Btw....his mummy was all loving & fun but not a disciplinarian at all! Allowing his many mischieves, even laughed at it. So yeah...mummy or no mummy, he s faultlessly spoilt & let to be the brat he is
I laughed out loud when you said Harry wanted to be a ski instructor 😂. Was that really in the book? Sarah Forsyth, a former art teacher at Eton College, won her case for unfair dismissal against the school, during which she said she had written the text to accompany the paintings the prince submitted for his A-level art project. She was awarded £45,000 pounds. It is a well established tradition that all Princes in the British monarchy spend time in the armed forces. I think what his father was saying to Harry is he should make it his career. Unfortunately Harry couldn’t progress along the ranks…he wasn’t clever enough. That’s the reason he retired from the army when he did. The Invictus games were then set up for Harry to keep him out of mischief.
I thought he left the RAF because the media printed his location in Afghanistan and he became a liability for himself and the team so they removed him? Or is that just Harry’s side of the story and the truth is he was just not smart enough? Lol
@@thomberlychannel Harry wasn’t in the RAF ( Royal Air Force) . His brother William was a search and rescue pilot for the RAF. He was in the army. You’re correct in that he had to withdraw from service when his position was disclosed. However Harry was never in any real danger. He was protected, just as in civilian life, against kidnapping. A risk the army couldn’t take. His career back home could have continued if he was smart enough to progress beyond the rank of Captain.
@@christinejoy3030 bwahjahhh, now they have his home address in Monteshitshow, and that after boasting of his 'chess piece' kills, holy socks whata simp!!!
I loved Diana, but she was flaky. My parents were not huggy people, but I was loved and secure. I loved them and never thought the lack of hugs meant anything except they didn't need to hug us to love us. There were seven of us, and we had great parents.
My parents were not buggy people either, my grandmother died when my mother was 6 & she had a very unhappy childhood with relatives who were horrible to her. My brother & I never ever doubted that we were loved& when my children came along my mother was able to love them & spoil them. Not everyone is able to be spontaneous but that doesn’t mean they are not capable of love!
I had a huggy mother and a not-huggy father. They both loved me and my siblings deeply and we knew it. I actually didn't like the hugs - oddly, none of us did. I used to feel genuinely claustrophobic when my mother - or anyone else - did it. I still don't like big, chest compressing hugs.
We loved Diana because the media sold her to us. The Golden Goose. Imagine if she was around today with social media, she would have destroyed her own image.
Strangely Charles probably laughted and clapped at the right times as Charles understands Shakespeare. Charles was in the Cambridge footlights apparently he was quite good.
Just because she was wearing earplugs did not mean she couldn’t hear the music. I have left concerts where some of my hearing was gone for a couple hours. She is most likely in the front row and goes to a lot of concerts. She was protecting her hearing. A lot of musicians are deaf. A lot of them where earplugs. They can still hear the music. It just isn’t ripping their eardrums apart. She probably was having fun.
Ear plugs are mandatory for staff and children at concerts in Nederland. Dogs not allowed in. We even sell plugs to the audience because you can still hear the music with them in.
Yes. I was a music manager and wore silicon earplugs because it's too loud and musicians and their crew are working. It's a common sense thing particularly for drummers.
Kate studied Art History. People have been saying that Harry always had a crush on Kate, and Meghan always wanted to snag William. I think this confirms it!
"They think you're lazy because you are. They didn't just come up with it, out of the random blue." YES! My ex-husband is the laziest person I've ever known. Early on in our marriage, he told me, on a number of occasions, "I know you all think I'm lazy," and I'd resisted the (very strong) urge to ask, in reply, "And why do you think that is?" Out of my entire, very large, extended family, not two of us had never agreed about a single issue, but we all somehow came to the conclusion that my ex was lazy. That was some kinda coincidence. Thank you for reading this, so we don't have to. Yes, you've nailed it: it's so hilariously deluded that it's entertaining. It's also infuriating, but in a therapeutic way. For those of us who've had to deal with other Harrys, and who've been faced with their gaslighting, he's brought some understanding of how very much someone can twist absolutely everything in order to feel wronged.
I worked in a hearing aid clinic for a few years. Ear buds don't block out the noise completely, they just make it more manageable, because you also hear through the bones behind your ears, so to really block out the sound you need overhead headphones. So the queen was definitely hearing the concert, just not as loud.
Queen Elizabeth’s parents were very affectionate and loving with Elizabeth & Margaret, so I just don’t believe she was this cold distant mum. Harry doesn’t mention, the Queen didn’t sign up for this role, it’s not one she was born into, she wasn’t supposed to be Queen. So her life took a hard turn early on-but he’s too self absorbed to acknowledge that.
Have you given any thought as to who would have been on the throne when David ( King Edward ) passed away since he didn't have any legitimate children. HM Queen Elizabeth would still have been just that our Queen. Many say she was not supposed to be Queen, but she was and did a fantastic job.
@@jessiemacgregor1357 Elizabeths Grandfather appearently didn't think much of his eldest son and hoped he would die childless so Elizabeth would be Queen eventually.
I think before the Harry and Meghan saga i took the Royal family for granted and now fully support them. I remember the their wedding (H&M)and now much support they had from us. I did think at the time about where the rest of her family were on both sides!!! The question i have is ? Whose the real Harry?? The happy fun- living one with Prince William and Princess Catherine in the photos or the spiteful and jealous one in the book?? Love from England x
I really think the best version of Harry was the one with William and Kate. Imagine who he could have been if he had leaned into their world more and learned how to be gracious and winsome? He didn’t have to turn out like this. He had another path being shown to him but it was the harder one.
Could you imagine the boon it would have been for trade schools in the UK if H decided he wanted to go to a trade school? I bet KC if he saw H was actually gifted at something like Graphic Design or woodworking he would have happily let him go to a trade school. But H does just seem lazy, he doesn’t actually want to improve himself. If he wanted to be a safari guide, why not go to Uni to do further study in geography and world history? He seems like someone you always have to lead to a proper solution to a question, then give him the solution.
He really does seem to struggle making his own choices in life! It made Meghan’s job much easier. She told him what to do and he was only too relieved to do it!
I wonder if Charles had the army in mind in the beginning and gave some time for Harry to come to this conclusion ’himself’. Charles probably had to plant some ideas for Harry to think it was his.
How I imagine the conversation: Charles: What would you like to do for a career dear boy? Harry: Uh, cheese and skis, huh huh. Harry sounding like an English Butthead with the response. Nothing wrong with being a ski instructor but he literally just wanted to do it so that he could ski and snack all day.
Certainly nothing wrong with being a ski instructor, it’s just that Harry won the lottery being born into a family that gives him opportunity to have meaning in life that billions around the world would dream of. But his reasoning of wanting to be a ski instructor is not meaningful when he talks about just wanting to ski and each cheese. It would be different if it was a real passion he wanted to share with others, that has more meaning behind it. His aunt loved horse riding so much she participated in competitions, along with being a royal. Princess took the value of being a Princess first but appreciated the chance to explore her love of horse riding. Her ambition was shared to her daughter Zara who in term has made her own little niche into horse riding that she competed too. Both of these ladies worked hard to prove their worth in equestrian that they both competed in the Olympics. Harry didn’t show any of the same drive of why he wanted to be a ski instructor. To him it sounded like a hobby that he wasn’t interested in developing more than just the limits.
I’m amused reading this comment bc I think he looks so much like Beavis in that picture where Megsy’s holding up Lili and his face is turned looking at her.
I don't think Pa would have said that he was held back per se, but it is entirely possible that he said he couldn't do anything that would take something away from the Monarchy, although what that actually means is "the Monarch" - not the institution. That's not a Harry-type whinge, it's a rule in the family. The Monarch - in this case the Queen - is the Head of State and so she is, and must be, the focus point. All the other royals are like a supporting team. None of them could overshadow her. Engagement-wise, the working royals do their best not to overshadow each other. So if William and Catherine went off on a tour - which would have been planned by government for a reason - then the main focus is going to be on them, and no other big royal event will coincide and compete with that tour. One example might be the fact that although William and Catherine married in April 2011, George was not born until July 2013. Normally, royal couples start their families immediately. It wasn't the case that William and Catherine couldn't conceive until late 2012, it's that they deliberately delayed trying because of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee that year. To have had a royal birth - and the birth of a future King or Queen - in 2012 would have overshadowed the Jubilee.
Harry didn’t really say anything about the Queen that Charles hadn’t already said about her in his biography, i.e. that she wasn’t lovingly demonstrative and hadn’t really been around when Charles was growing up. The thing that bothers me about Harry’s biography is that, like you said, he will make his father or grandmother or even his brother sound really good and loving in their dialogue with him, but then turn around and say that they’re horrible. It’s very confusing. Also, every time Harry calls his dad Pa, I immediately think of Little House on the Prairie, I can’t help it. Lol
The more this couple has tried to smear the royal family, the more Harry his thoughts of his family, the more I admire the family. Charles or “Pa” comes out as a considerate sympathetic father, William comes out as a caring protective older brother, and Queen Elizabeth carries such stoicism that is inspiring. Meanwhile Harry’s lack of reflecting has revealed himself to be such a pitiful brat, making everyone now question if he has a single redeeming quality if this is his hidden thoughts. It’s worrisome watching this unfold, certain parts it’s laughable but it’s concerning, especially now that there are children involved in this. Not just the Harkle’s but the Wales children too.
Actually I believe the Aristocrats of that time were not typically affectionate with their children. But there is a difference between being reserved and being cold. It was hard for them to express affection. Given how Prince Philip raised Prince Charles (now the King ) it’s not surprising he found it hard to show affection. It’s therefore amazing that he made such an effort to show his love for Harry. Do you think Prince Philip wrote notes for him? In Victorian Britain (and other places) Aristocratic parents left the children with nurses and nannies. Often they saw children only an hour a day. The children didn’t join parents for much time until they were teenagers. Each generation after that got better, but until Diana Aristocrats still sent their sons to boarding school at age 7. So not hugging children, except when they were very young, would have not been unusual-and not an indication of a lack of feeling.
Hi from France! 1st Europeans are not huggers. 2nd there’s something called protocol H!! The RF does not demonstrate in public. H and Megain holding hands like mommy and kid is against protocol. This doesn’t mean that there’s no feelings shown outside duties time. Thank you for your commenting on that 💩 book👍🌹🌹🌹 have a great day 😘😘🌹🌹🌹
Our late Queen was just wonderful. I hate the fact he spolit the illusion she was loving the concert but lets be honest, it makes sense she had ear plugs. HM the Queen was the ultimate professional and understood work from social events. Prince William and Princess Catherine understand this too. Hazbeen and wife blurred the lines. Haz has lost so much love and respect from the People. Wife was accepted and they shoved it all back.
You never touch a king or a queen unless they initiate it. It’s not just protocol and respect it is security too. Imagine everyone you met lunged at you hugging you, manhandling you. Nightmare. You’d always be fearful asking yourself which ones were barking mad and which ones were armed?
Just a thought about the Queen and hugs …. maybe people hug a lot more nowadays in general, but when I was growing up in Britain, I remember some families being very huggy and others not, my family for example weren’t particularly huggy. Despite not coming from a huggy family, I’m a hugger but I don’t think hugging is the be all and end all of showing your love. There are SO MANY ways a parent, a sister, a brother, a friend, etc. can show his/her love. My 89 year old father has been a very caring, loving father and he showed that love in so many other ways, but growing up he wasn’t particularly a hugger. That hasn’t stopped me feeling close to him and feeling his love. I don’t think we can even begin to imagine the responsabilities the Queen carried on her shoulders and how difficult it must have been to juggle family life and her duties. When we look back on thousands of photos, we can see a woman who loved both her family and her country and whether she hugged or not does not take that away from her. I really enjoy your videos, you have a very natural and amusing way of speaking and make so many good points and make a good analysis. I’m going through them one after the other …. Well done!🤗
There were photos published of the Queen and the family having barbecues at Balmoral, of Charles with Wills and Harry fishing, lots of them, and they all appeared like a close family which is why the British people appreciate them so much. All this happened through P Philips wish for the Monarchy to be closer to the people. So I take offence that he insults them so much
I've just recently discovered your channel and decided to go all the way back and listen to your overview of Spare from beginning to end and then follow that with your overview of Revenge. I love listening to you - you are a great storyteller and your sense of humor is second to none! So glad I came across one of your videos! I have subscribed 😊
I just subscribed to your channel today. I did not buy the book and I won’t ever buy it. I’m glad there are people who are reading it on video. I do have and read Revenge by Tom Bower and Courtier by Valentine Lowe and yes Harry is stunted mentally by his moms death but I’m tired of him using that as a free pass to be a terrible , spiteful, human being. I do live in America and feel for The British People because they are truly hurt by his and Meghan’s behavior. I do like how you are doing it thanks. I have followed The Royals for about 45 years and it’s sad to see what’s happening now.
@@cheeredenise it’s very good and it’s said that Tom Bower is now looking into a Doria for added chapters to the paperback. I just got Courtiers by Valentine Lowe and I read the prologue and was so upset . It’s very good so far. Bully Meghan
I am so grateful for your comment because I often feel I shouldn't have my say but I felt Diana was not suitable to become Queen and was horrified the Royal Family agreed with it I have been a Monarchist all my life I'm over 80 and have enjoyed my life with the calm and security of firstly King George VI then our great Queen Elizabeth II how lucky I've been
REPLAY CREW HERE. I actually just found your channel, i think it was from Stef the Alter Nerd... I started binge watching and when i was up to date on Revenge, i moved over to the Spare playlist. You are VERY good at what you are doing, and Thank you bc i was never going to purchase or read spare, though i am happy to listen to you tell it!
Have a few friends who went to Eton at the same time as Harry. Never asked for specifics but even before this whole Megan Markle debacle I was told that he had a reputation for being very simple and just in general a dud of a person. Apparently everyone gave him a pass because he was a prince but he was basically a joke.
Eton is an academic 'sweat house'. Most if not all the boys who attend are academically very strong. The only reason why they would have offered a place to Harry is because he is a Prince and his brother was there. Whoever made the decision to take him there made a huge mistake. The big lesson for parents is to as much as possible identify a school that suits your childs needs and will allow him or her to thrive. Harry needed a less famous school that took in mixed ability students and which had a softer and kinder approach to learning. To be surrounded by super bright kids can be very intimidating and to constantly be bottom of the class does nothing for confidence. The only way he could garner attention was to be the class clown or the class disrupter. Pity really...
@@booker0110 true, very kind to keep him close to his family & friends and serves to not 'make him feel different from his circle'. Wonder how well his peers from Ludgrove actually did at Eton. Maybe also just skidded through by the skin on their teeth😅. Forgive me, I am just bitter-mouth at times, thinking how unseen/unknown bright minds would have benefitted from the top education available at Eton. Gourdonston has changed from Charles days. Anne's kids attended there and i can't help but think it would have been a better fit for H.. Had he had the emotional maturity.
@@BlueInk912agreed - but if he’d been sent somewhere other then where William went, we’d hear how his family didn’t think he was good enough for Eton and it’s be a major gripe he’d go on and on about. Idk how you do the “best thing” for Harry as he’s so determined to make every instance of his life a struggle. He’s a miserable human being.
Cheree, you are too much! As an old Brit I've never thought too much of American humor, trying too hard, in your face, etc., but you have made me laugh watching this series. You are a natural comedienne. Loved the biro bit and the royals do give one mock gift at Christmas. For those who have everything. You know by now the "older" woman he had sex with was one whole year older than he. Such a jerk. Sanity was why I didn't read his crummy book , sanity and loathing. I knew you'd have the highlights anyhow. A day brightener today was breaking news! Things not good in Bogota. Her ladyship was booed as she twisted on the stage, all alone and desperate. The reason: her costant word salad talking. Silence for a long time but then the good people got restless, then angry and it could have gone pearshaped for the mental health expert. Hoping for more details tomorrow. Living here as an expat, just why haven't people here done that? Harry worried and no security after government warnings. Serves them both right. Sick to death of them. Thanks again Cheree ❤
Just discovered your channel today. Excellent synopsis of the dolt Harry's book. I'm tuning in from Ireland. I despise the harkles and the constant lies, hypocrisy and complaining.
I presume Harry meant that as Charles grew up (he would’ve been hugged as a toddler, but probably not beyond that) he was never hugged by his mother, which would be true. But this was true for most of that generation in the uk. Hugging adults is not an English thing, although it has become more popular in the past few decades.
My father, a vet spitfire pilot WW11, never hugged anyone. We knew he loved and cared for us all. He showed it all the time. The Queen was obviously not averse to physical contact she had four children. She loved her family and it shows in the photos.
Hugging was only for emotionally incontinent foreigners and the like 😂. I learned to hug in my twenties and introduced it to my bemused parents, bless them. My navy Dad manfully endured it, but never with great comfort.
It’s a common trick at loud events to use earplugs, or even napkins or tissues in your ears to make the noise more bearable. Unless she was wearing the big chunky noise cancelling earplugs hunters and airport employees use, she was definitely listening to the concert.
Just go on the internet and look up the thousands of pictures and videos of the Queen, Phillip and the children when young laughing and smiling together.. ( like the pictures of Charles riding bikes with his two sons. Who Harry had said he had not experienced.) So happy Family times, especially Balmoral in Summer. Her holiday from her frantic work schedule. EvenHarry states at the beginning of the book, that he loves Balmoral. So I believe they did share as a family over the generations great times.
I have been follow you explaination Harry's book. You're insights are brilliant and amazing together with funny. I used to be a Harry fan, but once Megxit happened, I can't stand Harry or his wife. I truely think they should be stripped of their titles and not be allowed to have special seats at our kings coronation. He has no respect for his family or his country, why should us British people accept his behaviour ‼️
Your brilliant, and for someone who hasn’t followed the royals. You got him spot on. So enjoying your take. I found you late so I’m always going back to catch up. Not quite in order but the book is so stupid it doesn’t even matter what order. He has ryhym or reason to his writing. Bless you for getting through it.
Maybe Princess Margaret felt really proud of finding that pen, maybe she thought it was really funny, and was excited to give it to him. But again, he seem to have no ability to understand others, and he always always see them, not only though a sinister lens, but also a very condescending way, where he seem to look doesn and be disappointed about everyone, thinking no one reaches up to his level.
Maaaan, I don’t know how we deserve you. You are so funny 😂 I absolutely fell in love with your videos over the past few weeks. Wishing you tons of subscribers. So much substance in your analyses.
Sorry I keep commenting as I go along. I feel so sorry for HMTQ's legacy, she's only been buried little over 3 months and her grandson is speaking crap about her parenting skills. Can you believe he wrote this knowing she may be alive to read it? I've never felt so much secondhand shame for someone in my life!
Comment ALL you want! I love to read it! And I couldn’t agree MORE!!!! It’s sooooo embarrassing to think he believed this book was going to turn hearts and minds toward his cause with all of this hateful, judgmental garbage!
The fact that they attended the Queens funeral knowing that the mockumentary had been filmed, including the curtsy which has made so many people angry, the OW interview while P Philip was dying and now this book complaining about all his family, I can only despise H for the self absorbed individual he is
About how the book was written, I think the writer was trying to give us the flavor of Harry and what he's really like when he includes strange or incomplete things, not necessarily trying to make Harry look good. I get the feeling he was about as impressed with Harry as The Cut article writer was with Meghan. If you haven't read that article it's subtly sarcastic and hilarious! J R Moehringer is known for being part ghostwriter and part psychologist who can get details out of you that you might not have said.
I know exactly what you mean about the Cut article, and that was a bit of clever writing from that reporter…but wouldn’t it be inappropriate for a ghost writer to pull that same stunt. That’s a huge betrayal that I don’t think any ghost writer would risk if he hopes to work again. I am familiar with Moehringer and I haven’t seen him ever purposely humiliate his subject to make some broader point but…maybe this is he is moment to try that…? Seems like a bad idea, but who knows.
@@cheeredenise I don't know. You're more familiar with him that I am, but I have heard he can get people to share things they might not have wanted to. That was the only explanation I could find for some of the strange things that he included, especially half stories that Harry didn't even finish.
I have only just found your channel & have watched about 4 of your posts so far. I really love how you approach the content of this book. I honour & appreciate you for being able to be able to read & comment on it. I just can't bring myself to buy it. Thank you 💖🌹 From Australia 🇭🇲
Actually the Queen did leave her first two children, Charles and Anne, a lot. She was more away than she was there. They were brought up almost exclusively by nannies. By the time Andrew arrived, she spent a lot more time with Andrew and Edward. Henry von Straubenzee was the friend of Harry and William, until his tragic death. He had two brothers I believe.
I certainly don’t think it was an ideal situation for any kid, but I think it’s in poor taste for Harry to comment on something that wasn’t his story to tell, or be hurt about, ya know?
@@cheeredenise absolutely, in any case Charles and his parents were on much better terms later on. I think they were disappointed about his marriage, but certainly in later life Queen relied heavily on Charles and trusted him implicitly. She knew she couldn't do it alone. What Harry is doing is beyond cruel and unconscionable. He's trying to put the boot in as much as he can before the Coronation. Sadly Charles will invite Harry and the Menace, I only hope that they keep them both under surveillance and away from the cameras as much as they can, the way they did at the Jubilee. If they have to come, let them come but give nothing away, no publicity, no nothing. Then send them on their merry way back home.
@@cheeredenise Queen was princess when charles was born. Her father,king George VI diagnosed with lung cancer just few months after charles birth. So Queen had to step up and take more royal duty on behalf of her father. She and Prince philip had to go for months on international Diplomatic tours. Her father died when she was just 25 years old, so she was very busy and getting adjust with her new role. So she couldn't gave charles and Anne much time but Queen didn't leave him with just nanny, charles and Anne spend more time with their maternal grand mother (Queen mother) By the time Andrew and Edward came she was well adjusted in her role and gave them more time. Queen was very loving grand mother. There are videos of Queen with almost all her grandchildren where they they are holding her hand, they are hugging her, they were sitting on her lap, they were going on pony ride with Queen, Queen running after william to save him at Andrew's wedding.
Anne Selby. Can I just point out that when Charles and Anne were very young Prince Philip took on a long planned tour which took him away for many weeks. It was a trip the Queen should have done but PP did it to give her time with her children. Cold? I don’t think so. Those were different times, people didn’t revel in neediness back then. They’d seen 2 world wars started by Germany, a near neighbour. They were completely grown up adults not whining man children.
@@cheeredenise the Queen has to cope with her father’s early death and bear the weight of monarchy on her shoulders while she was only in her twenties. She must have been emotionally shattered. She did her best in circumstances that would have destroyed many people. Harry is unable to put himself in anyone else’s shoes. He lacks empathy, he is an egoist and he wallows in self pity.
@2:44 - right they aren't the same as Parliament but they are a smaller group that are in it forever. It's the lifetime appointment of a lifetime to be in the Royal Family. Take it down a few hundred notches, Harold.
Harry thinks he’s Diana Spencer incarnate but he’s more Windsor than any of them, Margot and Andrew spring to mind. Jealous of Willy because he got the Spencer genes and the attitude, searching for perfection ( and failing ) in the father who didn’t know what to do with his poor bereaved son. Believing the media hype around his grandparents, the same media that invented ‘his’ spare persona created the same one about his aunt Margot and uncle Andrew - but he takes offence whilst believing the same crap written about the rest of his family - not hugging in public is a very British thing and there is actual footage of the queen with her her grandchildren being very affection. The guys damaged, obviously struggled educationally, stunted emotionally and in maturity but was blessed in to a life that meant it didn’t always have to be like this, In a world where he could have been anything, he chose to be a nasty little s**t
Not hugging, and overly and constantly emoting is also not a Russian or Asian thing. Yet people love each other and their kids. Those things aren't a requisite to show or realize that one is loving and loved.
Spencer genes are not all that perfect. Diana's Grandfather was pretty violent. Also it's Great Aunt Margaret, she was Granny's sister. Andrew is Pa's brother
Seems like good sense from their point of view. Can’t have people “hugging” you who also happen to have a knife or something else handy. Better to just be the one to initiate contact 🤣
Maybe the Queen had hearing problems. He swings one way then the next between hate then love. All based on his own interpretation of a situation. He needs help! Sounds like the ramblings of a pot head, and more!
Perhaps Queen Elizabeth wasn’t wearing earplugs to keep out the rock music. Maybe she just found it loud. My son always found concerts and movies too loud and always wore earplugs. Or perhaps they were hearing aids. Don’t jump to conclusions Harry!
In the previous episode (and I'm paraphrasing) the book said Harry ''didn't care'' about history lessons. So, is he claiming that he was interested in school pre-Diana's passing (and it all changed after that) - or was he never really interested in school in the first place? The book seems to indicate the former. I'm genuinely curious because a lot of what he said seems to suggest it was that tragic event that caused him to be 'rebellious' (in most areas of his life) but I get the impression that side of him was always there 😕 In other words, it sounds like excuses. Just my opinion on the story so far 🤷♀️ P.S: Your version of our English accent is funny! Greetings from UK 🇬🇧👋😂
He doesn’t comment on his academics before the crash. He starts everything off from that point, so I’m not sure how he thinks he was doing in school before that. Any insights you have gathered are welcome! I’m interested too! And thanks about the accent! I know it’s quite the exaggeration 🤣🤣🤣
@@doxasophosmoros Hi 👋🙂 In my opinion - just an opinion - Harry seems to want to portray himself as doing well until everything went 'wrong.' So, yeah, I feel that in the book he was either telling us that (the former), or he was ALWAYS bad,' / 'uninterested' (the latter). I think Harry wants us to think it's the FORMER (even though we all know it's the LATTER 😛). This is just my opinion 🙂
Just embarked on the long hike through Waagh! with you, I wouldn't buy the book, but you make it very enjoyable and thought-provoking. I actually do feel a bit sorry for Harry, which I never did before, being either indifferent or, more recently, incoherent with rage. Thank you.
I found your Revenge Review series, and absolutely loved it! Of course, I'm now binge watching the rest of your channel❤ you're so entertaining and funny. Thank you Cheere!! ❤
Okay I’ll stop after one last comment. Harry’s teacher alleged she was told to help Harry write the accompanying text for the art. She said she had tape recordings to that effect. The teacher was fired and her claims dismissed by Eaton. She sued for unfair dismissal and won $45,000 from the school. Later it was admitted that Harry had “help” from someone else, but no one had written the text for him. Therefore it wasn’t really cheating. Yeah, sure.
Once I viewed two of your programs and I decided I liked them, I subscribed to your channel. And I make sure I like every one that I do view. Thank you for all you do.
His mind just never grew past the night his Ma died did it, the more he talks about Di the more of a laughing stock he is making of both himself and her.
By continually saying how good she was and trying to paint his father as the only sinner in their marriage, unfortunately it's bringing all Diana's faults and misdeeds to light and tarnishing her memory and legacy.
Pretty sure the “Art History” but is a swipe at WC. He started at an Art History - what we would call major here in the States - and that’s where he met Catherine who graduated with a Masters of Arts, with Honors degree. William changes his emphasis to Geography at some point - also graduating with a Masters with Honors. It feels like he’s (the wife who’s ragefully jealous of Catherine) diminishing both of them. Also, didn’t see this in the comments - his teacher did his final art project for him, got fired and eventually got a settlement from Eton, iirc. He wouldn’t have gotten into Sandhurst with just a D in Geography which was the only other A Level he achieved.
I am so glad someone is calling out Diana. She has mental problems. Everyone acts like she was an angel sent to earth.
Diana had a rough childhood with her mother leaving when she was young, her father really wanting a son, and being sent off to boarding school at a young age. She craved love - but married the wrong man. Charles was older, already in love with Camilla, and had little in common with Diana. She did what she could to get Charles to pay attention to her. In the end she smothered her children with love to make up for all the love she missed in her life. She apparently drove the other men in her life crazy calling them hundreds of times because she wanted attention. Diana was a lovely person who did a lot for the charities she supported, and truly was loved by millions of people - but she really needed a man in her life devoted to her to give her the love she needed. I wouldn’t say she had mental problems.
Harry on the other hand seems to have a lot of mental issues. He’s mentally stuck as a child. He seems to always see himself as a victim. He’s done a lot of drugs, and I’m really wondering if he has some brain damage. I also wonder if he has some ADHD and Dyslexia . He might have some PTSD from his mother passing away.
@lostcontrol1981...I agree with you. Diana's mother took off with a man. Don't think she seen Diana often. Is Diana's brother younger? The thing that doesn't get much attention. Charles had to find a wife. He actually dated Diana's sister for a short time. Diana knew he had to marry a virgin. Friends said she had her eye on him is why she didn't try to get a serious boyfriend. Diana wasn't a good student. She didn't like her step mother. She went off to a finishing school. Her father allowed her to leave school. She moved into an apartment in London, probably family owned. Diana was a member of the aristocracy. She knew the rules.
I believe she was actually diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. The sufferers are hell to live with.
Harry could not sleep with out hyenas screaming so he married MM 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Great great quip, and sooo true!
Spot on 😂
Prince Philip had a terrible childhood he was born as a prince but when he was a baby they had to flee into exile. When he was a young boy his father abandoned the family and his mother was committed to an asylum. Philip was sent away to boarding school in The UK and to live with his uncle’s family. He learned to be self reliant and later he gave up his career in the royal navy to support the queen. Harry should have used his grandfather as an example instead of criticising him and whining about absolutely everything.
You are absolutely right! Prince Philip also lost a sister in a plane crash. And the Palace did not like him in the beginning…he didn’t have an easy time especially with the Queen Mother. But did he run to the press to complain?
@@21stcenturyshowgirl There are many biographies on him, and you can find documentaries on him on CZcams.
And he was smuggled out of Greece in a orange crate when he was 18 months. He fought in WWII. His dedicated his whole life to family, duty and country. His mothers life was so tragic. Prince Philip did the best he could, of what he had to face in life. He lived a fascinating life, and had his share of hardships, and met an ever changing world around him. And when he was dying, Harry and Meghan sat on Oprah, lying and feeling sorry for themselves having to learn the National Anthem. Planing their tv series of lies. The audacity, the narcissism, and the lack of grace and understanding for other human beings.
That upbringing made Philip a cold mean man. He was no charmer.
@@Chavacandraw Ignorant comment.

The more I hear Hypocrite Harry’s sob story, the more annoyed I become. It is sad that Dianna was killed when he was 12, I agree with that. However many children lost a parent at a young age, myself included. My father passed when I was six, and my mother had to work full time to support us, so I was a latch key kid. We didn’t have a lot of money, and lived in a one room apartment for years until we could afford a bigger place. We didn’t have a car, or a TV, because there wasn’t enough money for that. We didn’t take vacations, or eat out very often. It wasn’t an easy childhood, but apparently my childhood was way better than this spoiled prince, because I didn’t wallow in my self pity, nor did I grow up to be angry and blame the world for my problems. He is such a miserable person, and really for no good reason, and this book is making me dislike him more and more.
Excellent comment you hit the nail on the head.🇦🇺
Right? He did himself no favors by putting out such idiotic petulance.
@romarobbins270 I so admire a single mother who lost her supporting partner in death. You're a great example of her loyalty to her children.
Sorry for your loss. Well done to your mom and you.
I'm pretty sure Aunt Margo was the only one who was brave enough to recognize that Harry's writing wasn't up to scratch at age 15
Charles is very well read at the Eton play he was probably laughing at the RIGHT places.
Something I love about King Charles that I think makes a lot of people find him unlikable is that he’s more intellectual and sensitive than the rest of his family. Definitely more than Harry.
You got that right where as Andrew and Edward were more pampered
@animula6908 The Princess Royal is Charles best support of them all. Get well soon, Princess Anne
Agree.
In the end, I believe Half-Wit's white-hot rage is mostly for his mother who abandoned him to run off to sunny France on holiday with a boyfriend. PROVE ME WRONG.
Interesting take on the situation. Could it be his seeming endless devotion to his mother after her death is to suppress the guilt he felt by accusing her of abandoning him?
Absolutely.
There’s literally a public court circular detailing all activities & engagements of all working Royals available online.
Sorry, but Diana had great respect for the Queen & Monarchy. Prince Philip & the Queen were fond of Diana, and largely held Charles responsible for the failure of their marriage, despite knowing that Diana had a long term affair with her married bodyguard. Even after their separation & divorce, the Queen insisted that Diana remain living in her Royal apartments to be close to her boys, & still financed Diana’s lifestyle & charity commitments.
Charles felt responsible for Diana’s death & spent years in therapy. The suggestion that therapy was ‘not allowed’ for any Royal member is utter BS.
It was Martin Bashir and his lies that led Diana to refusing security funded by the RF.
I may be wrong, but I feel it was Prince Charles who supported Diana stay in Kensington Palace to be close for the boys' sake they often shared and discussed the boys afairs
Many people do not know these things. Thank you for pointing out I’m getting tired of repeating myself 🤣🤣. Diana ran the halls of Windsor castle as a child with Andrew and Edward they found secret passages and hidden corridors no one even knew of. The Spencer family had served the Crown for hundreds of years. There are many family Aristocratic ties. Diana was the only person who could sit outside the Queens day meeting room and when a person left she would run in crying she called her mum. There was a deep affection ….. the Queen felt for her but DID NOT understand her mental and emotional craziness. Philip tried to talk sense to her that if she focused on service and others ….. that part they did not understand they came from the generation YOU JUST GOT ON WITH IT
It was Charles who removed her HRH.... he already knew at that point he planned on marrying Camilla & couldn't have 2 HRH Princess of Wales, although out of respect for Diana she never used that title. William allegedly told her that he would give her the HRH back when he became King..
The King is well read and probably understands Shakespeare more than H, even if H studied him for 10 yrs. I tend to think that IF the story is true , The King was probably laughing at the funny parts that went straight over Hs head.
Spot on!
Precisely! Moreover, I believe Charles participated enthusiastically in school theatrics himself, didn't he?
@@reginawilkes5100 He did,.
Somewhere on CZcams is a video of William and Harry, circa 2015, talking about their father. Apparently he always went to their school plays, sometimes with Prince Philip in tow, and they both used to laugh when no one else was laughing. Apparently Charles has a very loud laugh, too. In this 2015 video, though, both boys seemed now to find it amusing - as you would once you look back through adult eyes. William spoke of his play in which his arrival on stage was supposed to be accompanied by a sound effect, but the effect was delayed. His father was in fits and William spoke of giving him "the death stare" - but he was laughing at the memory. As was Harry when recalling his plays. The thing is, both boys were talking about prep school plays, so as far back as childhood, they knew what to expect from Charles and Philip. Charles has a very quirky sense of humour and would likely see something amusing where others might not, so why Harry would suddenly find his father's laughter a shocker at age 18 is odd. Especially as a few years ago he found it amusing.
Because MeGain rewrote all his memories for him and explained them to him 🙄
Btw....his mummy was all loving & fun but not a disciplinarian at all! Allowing his many mischieves, even laughed at it. So yeah...mummy or no mummy, he s faultlessly spoilt & let to be the brat he is
I laughed out loud when you said Harry wanted to be a ski instructor 😂. Was that really in the book? Sarah Forsyth, a former art teacher at Eton College, won her case for unfair dismissal against the school, during which she said she had written the text to accompany the paintings the prince submitted for his A-level art project. She was awarded £45,000 pounds. It is a well established tradition that all Princes in the British monarchy spend time in the armed forces. I think what his father was saying to Harry is he should make it his career. Unfortunately Harry couldn’t progress along the ranks…he wasn’t clever enough. That’s the reason he retired from the army when he did. The Invictus games were then set up for Harry to keep him out of mischief.
Ooooh the insight!!!! And yes! It was really in the book that his big plan was to be a ski instructor AND he wanted all the fondue!! 🤣
@@cheeredenise Hilarious 😂
I thought he left the RAF because the media printed his location in Afghanistan and he became a liability for himself and the team so they removed him? Or is that just Harry’s side of the story and the truth is he was just not smart enough? Lol
@@thomberlychannel Harry wasn’t in the RAF ( Royal Air Force) . His brother William was a search and rescue pilot for the RAF. He was in the army. You’re correct in that he had to withdraw from service when his position was disclosed. However Harry was never in any real danger. He was protected, just as in civilian life, against kidnapping. A risk the army couldn’t take. His career back home could have continued if he was smart enough to progress beyond the rank of Captain.

Is this the video where the “ Harry voice” was born ?
😂 I love the Harry voice 😂
Everything I've read about the Royal Christmas tradition is giving gag gifts.
I loved Diana, but she was flaky. My parents were not huggy people, but I was loved and secure. I loved them and never thought the lack of hugs meant anything except they didn't need to hug us to love us. There were seven of us, and we had great parents.
My parents were not buggy people either, my grandmother died when my mother was 6 & she had a very unhappy childhood with relatives who were horrible to her. My brother & I never ever doubted that we were loved& when my children came along my mother was able to love them & spoil them. Not everyone is able to be spontaneous but that doesn’t mean they are not capable of love!
Make that huggy people!🤣
I had a huggy mother and a not-huggy father. They both loved me and my siblings deeply and we knew it. I actually didn't like the hugs - oddly, none of us did. I used to feel genuinely claustrophobic when my mother - or anyone else - did it. I still don't like big, chest compressing hugs.
Yeah, Diana had real, real problems. Mental problems run in the Spencer family.
We loved Diana because the media sold her to us. The Golden Goose. Imagine if she was around today with social media, she would have destroyed her own image.
Strangely Charles probably laughted and clapped at the right times as Charles understands Shakespeare.
Charles was in the Cambridge footlights apparently he was quite good.
I thought so!
Just because she was wearing earplugs did not mean she couldn’t hear the music. I have left concerts where some of my hearing was gone for a couple hours. She is most likely in the front row and goes to a lot of concerts. She was protecting her hearing. A lot of musicians are deaf. A lot of them where earplugs. They can still hear the music. It just isn’t ripping their eardrums apart. She probably was having fun.
Soooo true!!!
At 60+ I need earplugs in a coffee shop!
Ear plugs are mandatory for staff and children at concerts in Nederland. Dogs not allowed in. We even sell plugs to the audience because you can still hear the music with them in.
Yes. I was a music manager and wore silicon earplugs because it's too loud and musicians and their crew are working. It's a common sense thing particularly for drummers.
I never used to think Harold was dumb, but I 100% DO now!

Wow, thank you! I so appreciate you taking the time so be so encouraging!!
Kate studied Art History. People have been saying that Harry always had a crush on Kate, and Meghan always wanted to snag William. I think this confirms it!
Insightful 🤔
"They think you're lazy because you are. They didn't just come up with it, out of the random blue." YES! My ex-husband is the laziest person I've ever known. Early on in our marriage, he told me, on a number of occasions, "I know you all think I'm lazy," and I'd resisted the (very strong) urge to ask, in reply, "And why do you think that is?" Out of my entire, very large, extended family, not two of us had never agreed about a single issue, but we all somehow came to the conclusion that my ex was lazy. That was some kinda coincidence.
Thank you for reading this, so we don't have to. Yes, you've nailed it: it's so hilariously deluded that it's entertaining. It's also infuriating, but in a therapeutic way. For those of us who've had to deal with other Harrys, and who've been faced with their gaslighting, he's brought some understanding of how very much someone can twist absolutely everything in order to feel wronged.
I worked in a hearing aid clinic for a few years. Ear buds don't block out the noise completely, they just make it more manageable, because you also hear through the bones behind your ears, so to really block out the sound you need overhead headphones. So the queen was definitely hearing the concert, just not as loud.
I always wear ear plugs at concerts. The sound is amplified above a level I can tolerate but with ear plugs I can enjoy it 😊
A lot of people wear hearing protection at concerts. He’s essentially treating this as if he believes the world operates under cartoon physics.
"Cartoon physics"! I love it!
Queen Elizabeth’s parents were very affectionate and loving with Elizabeth & Margaret, so I just don’t believe she was this cold distant mum. Harry doesn’t mention, the Queen didn’t sign up for this role, it’s not one she was born into, she wasn’t supposed to be Queen. So her life took a hard turn early on-but he’s too self absorbed to acknowledge that.
Have you given any thought as to who would have been on the throne when David ( King Edward ) passed away since he didn't have any legitimate children.
HM Queen Elizabeth would still have been just that our Queen. Many say she was not supposed to be Queen, but she was and did a fantastic job.
@@jessiemacgregor1357 Elizabeths Grandfather appearently didn't think much of his eldest son and hoped he would die childless so Elizabeth would be Queen eventually.
12:28 Diana also boasted about trying to push her stepmother down a flight of stairs. HMTQ was wise to duck away.
I think before the Harry and Meghan saga i took the Royal family for granted and now fully support them. I remember the their wedding (H&M)and now much support they had from us. I did think at the time about where the rest of her family were on both sides!!! The question i have is ? Whose the real Harry?? The happy fun- living one with Prince William and Princess Catherine in the photos or the spiteful and jealous one in the book?? Love from England x
I really think the best version of Harry was the one with William and Kate. Imagine who he could have been if he had leaned into their world more and learned how to be gracious and winsome? He didn’t have to turn out like this. He had another path being shown to him but it was the harder one.
Could you imagine the boon it would have been for trade schools in the UK if H decided he wanted to go to a trade school?
I bet KC if he saw H was actually gifted at something like Graphic Design or woodworking he would have happily let him go to a trade school.
But H does just seem lazy, he doesn’t actually want to improve himself.
If he wanted to be a safari guide, why not go to Uni to do further study in geography and world history? He seems like someone you always have to lead to a proper solution to a question, then give him the solution.
He really does seem to struggle making his own choices in life! It made Meghan’s job much easier. She told him what to do and he was only too relieved to do it!
I wonder if Charles had the army in mind in the beginning and gave some time for Harry to come to this conclusion ’himself’. Charles probably had to plant some ideas for Harry to think it was his.
How I imagine the conversation:
Charles: What would you like to do for a career dear boy?
Harry: Uh, cheese and skis, huh huh.
Harry sounding like an English Butthead with the response.
Nothing wrong with being a ski instructor but he literally just wanted to do it so that he could ski and snack all day.
🤣 couldn’t agree more!
Certainly nothing wrong with being a ski instructor, it’s just that Harry won the lottery being born into a family that gives him opportunity to have meaning in life that billions around the world would dream of. But his reasoning of wanting to be a ski instructor is not meaningful when he talks about just wanting to ski and each cheese. It would be different if it was a real passion he wanted to share with others, that has more meaning behind it.
His aunt loved horse riding so much she participated in competitions, along with being a royal. Princess took the value of being a Princess first but appreciated the chance to explore her love of horse riding. Her ambition was shared to her daughter Zara who in term has made her own little niche into horse riding that she competed too. Both of these ladies worked hard to prove their worth in equestrian that they both competed in the Olympics.
Harry didn’t show any of the same drive of why he wanted to be a ski instructor. To him it sounded like a hobby that he wasn’t interested in developing more than just the limits.
Very funny comment.:) 'Harry pull my finger'
I’m amused reading this comment bc I think he looks so much like Beavis in that picture where Megsy’s holding up Lili and his face is turned looking at her.
I don't think Pa would have said that he was held back per se, but it is entirely possible that he said he couldn't do anything that would take something away from the Monarchy, although what that actually means is "the Monarch" - not the institution. That's not a Harry-type whinge, it's a rule in the family. The Monarch - in this case the Queen - is the Head of State and so she is, and must be, the focus point. All the other royals are like a supporting team. None of them could overshadow her. Engagement-wise, the working royals do their best not to overshadow each other. So if William and Catherine went off on a tour - which would have been planned by government for a reason - then the main focus is going to be on them, and no other big royal event will coincide and compete with that tour.
One example might be the fact that although William and Catherine married in April 2011, George was not born until July 2013. Normally, royal couples start their families immediately. It wasn't the case that William and Catherine couldn't conceive until late 2012, it's that they deliberately delayed trying because of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee that year. To have had a royal birth - and the birth of a future King or Queen - in 2012 would have overshadowed the Jubilee.
Harry didn’t really say anything about the Queen that Charles hadn’t already said about her in his biography, i.e. that she wasn’t lovingly demonstrative and hadn’t really been around when Charles was growing up. The thing that bothers me about Harry’s biography is that, like you said, he will make his father or grandmother or even his brother sound really good and loving in their dialogue with him, but then turn around and say that they’re horrible. It’s very confusing. Also, every time Harry calls his dad Pa, I immediately think of Little House on the Prairie, I can’t help it. Lol
🤣🤣same!
The “Pa” thing does sound strange, but it’s short for the French “Papa “ .
😂😂😂😂😂😂 me too
The more this couple has tried to smear the royal family, the more Harry his thoughts of his family, the more I admire the family. Charles or “Pa” comes out as a considerate sympathetic father, William comes out as a caring protective older brother, and Queen Elizabeth carries such stoicism that is inspiring. Meanwhile Harry’s lack of reflecting has revealed himself to be such a pitiful brat, making everyone now question if he has a single redeeming quality if this is his hidden thoughts. It’s worrisome watching this unfold, certain parts it’s laughable but it’s concerning, especially now that there are children involved in this. Not just the Harkle’s but the Wales children too.
I think the Wales children are well balanced, well cared for children because Wills and Catherine are very good parents
I feel so bad for Harry. One tear left eye. 😢
Go! 😂
Actually I believe the Aristocrats of that time were not typically affectionate with their children. But there is a difference between being reserved and being cold. It was hard for them to express affection. Given how Prince Philip raised Prince Charles (now the King ) it’s not surprising he found it hard to show affection. It’s therefore amazing that he made such an effort to show his love for Harry. Do you think Prince Philip wrote notes for him?
In Victorian Britain (and other places) Aristocratic parents left the children with nurses and nannies. Often they saw children only an hour a day. The children didn’t join parents for much time until they were teenagers. Each generation after that got better, but until Diana Aristocrats still sent their sons to boarding school at age 7. So not hugging children, except when they were very young, would have not been unusual-and not an indication of a lack of feeling.
Hi from France! 1st Europeans are not huggers. 2nd there’s something called protocol H!! The RF does not demonstrate in public. H and Megain holding hands like mommy and kid is against protocol. This doesn’t mean that there’s no feelings shown outside duties time.
Thank you for your commenting on that 💩 book👍🌹🌹🌹 have a great day 😘😘🌹🌹🌹
What Zara and Mike show in every photo is their love for each other.
This part has Markle verbage and insight on daddy, methinks!!
As do I.
Our late Queen was just wonderful. I hate the fact he spolit the illusion she was loving the concert but lets be honest, it makes sense she had ear plugs. HM the Queen was the ultimate professional and understood work from social events. Prince William and Princess Catherine understand this too. Hazbeen and wife blurred the lines. Haz has lost so much love and respect from the People. Wife was accepted and they shoved it all back.
Your intro was hilarious 🤣 You definitely give the best Harry impressions 🙏🏽
You never touch a king or a queen unless they initiate it. It’s not just protocol and respect it is security too. Imagine everyone you met lunged at you hugging you, manhandling you. Nightmare. You’d always be fearful asking yourself which ones were barking mad and which ones were armed?
Musicians wear ear plugs on stage to protect their hearing,they can still hear the music
Just a thought about the Queen and hugs …. maybe people hug a lot more nowadays in general, but when I was growing up in Britain, I remember some families being very huggy and others not, my family for example weren’t particularly huggy. Despite not coming from a huggy family, I’m a hugger but I don’t think hugging is the be all and end all of showing your love. There are SO MANY ways a parent, a sister, a brother, a friend, etc. can show his/her love. My 89 year old father has been a very caring, loving father and he showed that love in so many other ways, but growing up he wasn’t particularly a hugger. That hasn’t stopped me feeling close to him and feeling his love. I don’t think we can even begin to imagine the responsabilities the Queen carried on her shoulders and how difficult it must have been to juggle family life and her duties. When we look back on thousands of photos, we can see a woman who loved both her family and her country and whether she hugged or not does not take that away from her. I really enjoy your videos, you have a very natural and amusing way of speaking and make so many good points and make a good analysis. I’m going through them one after the other …. Well done!🤗
So many great points in this comment! And I’m so thrilled you’re enjoying the videos!! Thanks for supporting the channel!
There were photos published of the Queen and the family having barbecues at Balmoral, of Charles with Wills and Harry fishing, lots of them, and they all appeared like a close family which is why the British people appreciate them so much. All this happened through P Philips wish for the Monarchy to be closer to the people. So I take offence that he insults them so much
I've just recently discovered your channel and decided to go all the way back and listen to your overview of Spare from beginning to end and then follow that with your overview of Revenge. I love listening to you - you are a great storyteller and your sense of humor is second to none! So glad I came across one of your videos! I have subscribed 😊
I actually subscribed as soon as I discovered you and started at the beginning 😂
If only Harry could listen to your great advice!!😊. He so needs someone, anyone to tell him the truth, he is so coddled it is ridiculous.
I just subscribed to your channel today. I did not buy the book and I won’t ever buy it. I’m glad there are people who are reading it on video. I do have and read Revenge by Tom Bower and Courtier by Valentine Lowe and yes Harry is stunted mentally by his moms death but I’m tired of him using that as a free pass to be a terrible , spiteful, human being. I do live in America and feel for The British People because they are truly hurt by his and Meghan’s behavior. I do like how you are doing it thanks. I have followed The Royals for about 45 years and it’s sad to see what’s happening now.
Thank you for subscribing AND commenting! I want to read Revenge next!
@@cheeredenise it’s very good and it’s said that Tom Bower is now looking into a Doria for added chapters to the paperback. I just got Courtiers by Valentine Lowe and I read the prologue and was so upset . It’s very good so far. Bully Meghan
I am so grateful for your comment because I often feel I shouldn't have my say but I felt Diana was not suitable to become Queen and was horrified the Royal Family agreed with it I have been a Monarchist all my life I'm over 80 and have enjoyed my life with the calm and security of firstly King George VI then our great Queen Elizabeth II how lucky I've been
Well said.
REPLAY CREW HERE. I actually just found your channel, i think it was from Stef the Alter Nerd... I started binge watching and when i was up to date on Revenge, i moved over to the Spare playlist. You are VERY good at what you are doing, and Thank you bc i was never going to purchase or read spare, though i am happy to listen to you tell it!
Thank you so much for sharing your enjoyment of the channel!
Maybe the music was just to loud for her or she was protecting her hearing while still enjoying the music.
Have a few friends who went to Eton at the same time as Harry. Never asked for specifics but even before this whole Megan Markle debacle I was told that he had a reputation for being very simple and just in general a dud of a person. Apparently everyone gave him a pass because he was a prince but he was basically a joke.
Eton is an academic 'sweat house'. Most if not all the boys who attend are academically very strong. The only reason why they would have offered a place to Harry is because he is a Prince and his brother was there. Whoever made the decision to take him there made a huge mistake. The big lesson for parents is to as much as possible identify a school that suits your childs needs and will allow him or her to thrive. Harry needed a less famous school that took in mixed ability students and which had a softer and kinder approach to learning. To be surrounded by super bright kids can be very intimidating and to constantly be bottom of the class does nothing for confidence. The only way he could garner attention was to be the class clown or the class disrupter. Pity really...
What a waste!
@@BlueInk912 they did what they thought was best for him. Elton is close to Windsor whereas Charles was sent to Scotland. Hindsight is 20/20 vision. 😊
@@booker0110 true, very kind to keep him close to his family & friends and serves to not 'make him feel different from his circle'. Wonder how well his peers from Ludgrove actually did at Eton. Maybe also just skidded through by the skin on their teeth😅. Forgive me, I am just bitter-mouth at times, thinking how unseen/unknown bright minds would have benefitted from the top education available at Eton.
Gourdonston has changed from Charles days. Anne's kids attended there and i can't help but think it would have been a better fit for H.. Had he had the emotional maturity.
He failed the entry exams for Eton and Ssndhurst
@@BlueInk912agreed - but if he’d been sent somewhere other then where William went, we’d hear how his family didn’t think he was good enough for Eton and it’s be a major gripe he’d go on and on about. Idk how you do the “best thing” for Harry as he’s so determined to make every instance of his life a struggle. He’s a miserable human being.
Cheree, you are too much! As an old Brit I've never thought too much of American humor, trying too hard, in your face, etc., but you have made me laugh watching this series. You are a natural comedienne. Loved the biro bit and the royals do give one mock gift at Christmas. For those who have everything. You know by now the "older" woman he had sex with was one whole year older than he. Such a jerk. Sanity was why I didn't read his crummy book , sanity and loathing. I knew you'd have the highlights anyhow. A day brightener today was breaking news! Things not good in Bogota. Her ladyship was booed as she twisted on the stage, all alone and desperate. The reason: her costant word salad talking. Silence for a long time but then the good people got restless, then angry and it could have gone pearshaped for the mental health expert. Hoping for more details tomorrow. Living here as an expat, just why haven't people here done that? Harry worried and no security after government warnings. Serves them both right. Sick to death of them. Thanks again Cheree ❤
Your British accent is pretty good by the way! Speaking as a Brit x
I’ve heard mixed reviews 🤣 thanks!!
I wonder if, in retrospect, Charles thinks H being a safari instructor sounds pretty good.
Just discovered your channel today. Excellent synopsis of the dolt Harry's book. I'm tuning in from Ireland. I despise the harkles and the constant lies, hypocrisy and complaining.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the series!! Thank you for commenting and saying so! Very kind of you!
I hope H is listening to your words of wisdom😊
I hope not…. He might sue me 🤣
Your delivery is just wonderful, entertaining, yet judicious!
That’s fantastic to hear! Thanks for taking the time to be so encouraging! ♥️
@@cheeredenise
My pleasure!
I presume Harry meant that as Charles grew up (he would’ve been hugged as a toddler, but probably not beyond that) he was never hugged by his mother, which would be true. But this was true for most of that generation in the uk. Hugging adults is not an English thing, although it has become more popular in the past few decades.
My father, a vet spitfire pilot WW11, never hugged anyone. We knew he loved and cared for us all. He showed it all the time. The Queen was obviously not averse to physical contact she had four children. She loved her family and it shows in the photos.
Hugging was only for emotionally incontinent foreigners and the like 😂. I learned to hug in my twenties and introduced it to my bemused parents, bless them. My navy Dad manfully endured it, but never with great comfort.
American here. We were raised the same, it’s called respect and teaching love by example. You always knew you were loved.
It’s a common trick at loud events to use earplugs, or even napkins or tissues in your ears to make the noise more bearable. Unless she was wearing the big chunky noise cancelling earplugs hunters and airport employees use, she was definitely listening to the concert.
Just go on the internet and look up the thousands of pictures and videos of the Queen, Phillip and the children when young laughing and smiling together.. ( like the pictures of Charles riding bikes with his two sons. Who Harry had said he had not experienced.) So happy Family times, especially Balmoral in Summer. Her holiday from her frantic work schedule. EvenHarry states at the beginning of the book, that he loves Balmoral. So I believe they did share as a family over the generations great times.
Hahahahahahahahahaha omg "drunk as a skunk" I'm dying laughing at 3AM
He turned after his mum, she had no academic achievements. Lucky she was born into the aristocracy and was pretty.
I have been follow you explaination Harry's book. You're insights are brilliant and amazing together with funny. I used to be a Harry fan, but once Megxit happened, I can't stand Harry or his wife. I truely think they should be stripped of their titles and not be allowed to have special seats at our kings coronation. He has no respect for his family or his country, why should us British people accept his behaviour ‼️
You can still hear with ear plugged in. It just isn't so loud. So she was probably enjoying it.
Apparently the editor is the ghost writer’s wife. This explains a lot.
That’s really enlightening…
Sadly, Harry was/is a late bloomer and a troubled man. I feel for Charles.
I love that fact you endured the read so we didn’t have to
Your brilliant, and for someone who hasn’t followed the royals. You got him spot on. So enjoying your take. I found you late so I’m always going back to catch up. Not quite in order but the book is so stupid it doesn’t even matter what order. He has ryhym or reason to his writing. Bless you for getting through it.
Thrilled you’re enjoying the channel!!
Maybe Princess Margaret felt really proud of finding that pen, maybe she thought it was really funny, and was excited to give it to him. But again, he seem to have no ability to understand others, and he always always see them, not only though a sinister lens, but also a very condescending way, where he seem to look doesn and be disappointed about everyone, thinking no one reaches up to his level.
Maaaan, I don’t know how we deserve you. You are so funny 😂 I absolutely fell in love with your videos over the past few weeks. Wishing you tons of subscribers. So much substance in your analyses.
I just found your channel and am so glad. Binge-watched all the chapters that you have posted and subscribed to get the future ones.
Hooray!!! So glad you’re enjoying!!!
It’s always possible Harry never leaves megan the calculated conniver😊
I love your commentary and am thankful for your shivering sacrifice❤
Sorry I keep commenting as I go along. I feel so sorry for HMTQ's legacy, she's only been buried little over 3 months and her grandson is speaking crap about her parenting skills. Can you believe he wrote this knowing she may be alive to read it? I've never felt so much secondhand shame for someone in my life!
Comment ALL you want! I love to read it! And I couldn’t agree MORE!!!! It’s sooooo embarrassing to think he believed this book was going to turn hearts and minds toward his cause with all of this hateful, judgmental garbage!
The fact that they attended the Queens funeral knowing that the mockumentary had been filmed, including the curtsy which has made so many people angry, the OW interview while P Philip was dying and now this book complaining about all his family, I can only despise H for the self absorbed individual he is
I've been waiting for THE VOICE 😂
About how the book was written, I think the writer was trying to give us the flavor of Harry and what he's really like when he includes strange or incomplete things, not necessarily trying to make Harry look good. I get the feeling he was about as impressed with Harry as The Cut article writer was with Meghan. If you haven't read that article it's subtly sarcastic and hilarious! J R Moehringer is known for being part ghostwriter and part psychologist who can get details out of you that you might not have said.
I know exactly what you mean about the Cut article, and that was a bit of clever writing from that reporter…but wouldn’t it be inappropriate for a ghost writer to pull that same stunt. That’s a huge betrayal that I don’t think any ghost writer would risk if he hopes to work again. I am familiar with Moehringer and I haven’t seen him ever purposely humiliate his subject to make some broader point but…maybe this is he is moment to try that…? Seems like a bad idea, but who knows.
@@cheeredenise I don't know. You're more familiar with him that I am, but I have heard he can get people to share things they might not have wanted to. That was the only explanation I could find for some of the strange things that he included, especially half stories that Harry didn't even finish.
I think they gave up at some point, and Harry and Meghan had free rein.
I have only just found your channel & have watched about 4 of your posts so far. I really love how you approach the content of this book.
I honour & appreciate you for being able to be able to read & comment on it. I just can't bring myself to buy it.
Thank you 💖🌹 From Australia 🇭🇲
Thank you so much!
Actually the Queen did leave her first two children, Charles and Anne, a lot. She was more away than she was there. They were brought up almost exclusively by nannies. By the time Andrew arrived, she spent a lot more time with Andrew and Edward.
Henry von Straubenzee was the friend of Harry and William, until his tragic death. He had two brothers I believe.
I certainly don’t think it was an ideal situation for any kid, but I think it’s in poor taste for Harry to comment on something that wasn’t his story to tell, or be hurt about, ya know?
@@cheeredenise absolutely, in any case Charles and his parents were on much better terms later on. I think they were disappointed about his marriage, but certainly in later life Queen relied heavily on Charles and trusted him implicitly. She knew she couldn't do it alone.
What Harry is doing is beyond cruel and unconscionable. He's trying to put the boot in as much as he can before the Coronation. Sadly Charles will invite Harry and the Menace, I only hope that they keep them both under surveillance and away from the cameras as much as they can, the way they did at the Jubilee. If they have to come, let them come but give nothing away, no publicity, no nothing. Then send them on their merry way back home.
@@cheeredenise Queen was princess when charles was born. Her father,king George VI diagnosed with lung cancer just few months after charles birth.
So Queen had to step up and take more royal duty on behalf of her father.
She and Prince philip had to go for months on international Diplomatic tours.
Her father died when she was just 25 years old, so she was very busy and getting adjust with her new role.
So she couldn't gave charles and Anne much time but Queen didn't leave him with just nanny, charles and Anne spend more time with their maternal grand mother (Queen mother)
By the time Andrew and Edward came she was well adjusted in her role and gave them more time.
Queen was very loving grand mother.
There are videos of Queen with almost all her grandchildren where they they are holding her hand, they are hugging her, they were sitting on her lap, they were going on pony ride with Queen, Queen running after william to save him at Andrew's wedding.
Anne Selby. Can I just point out that when Charles and Anne were very young Prince Philip took on a long planned tour which took him away for many weeks. It was a trip the Queen should have done but PP did it to give her time with her children. Cold? I don’t think so. Those were different times, people didn’t revel in neediness back then. They’d seen 2 world wars started by Germany, a near neighbour. They were completely grown up adults not whining man children.
@@cheeredenise the Queen has to cope with her father’s early death and bear the weight of monarchy on her shoulders while she was only in her twenties. She must have been emotionally shattered. She did her best in circumstances that would have destroyed many people. Harry is unable to put himself in anyone else’s shoes. He lacks empathy, he is an egoist and he wallows in self pity.
He should definitely have his children read this book...if they actually EXIST & are NOT bots. 🤣🤣🤣
Binging on this playlist and you are hilarious 👏🤣👏🥰 when you imitate Harry I practically wet my pants. Thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed!!
I'm American and am truly enjoying your take on this! Thank you!
I'm so glad!!
@2:44 - right they aren't the same as Parliament but they are a smaller group that are in it forever. It's the lifetime appointment of a lifetime to be in the Royal Family.
Take it down a few hundred notches, Harold.
Harry thinks he’s Diana Spencer incarnate but he’s more Windsor than any of them, Margot and Andrew spring to mind. Jealous of Willy because he got the Spencer genes and the attitude, searching for perfection ( and failing ) in the father who didn’t know what to do with his poor bereaved son. Believing the media hype around his grandparents, the same media that invented ‘his’ spare persona created the same one about his aunt Margot and uncle Andrew - but he takes offence whilst believing the same crap written about the rest of his family - not hugging in public is a very
British thing and there is actual footage of the queen with her her grandchildren being very affection. The guys damaged, obviously struggled educationally, stunted emotionally and in maturity but was blessed in to a life that meant it didn’t always have to be like this, In a world where he could have been anything, he chose to be a nasty little s**t
Not hugging, and overly and constantly emoting is also not a Russian or Asian thing. Yet people love each other and their kids. Those things aren't a requisite to show or realize that one is loving and loved.
There’s a lot of mental illness on the Spencer side. William got the best of each side - Spencer looks, Windsor fortitude.
Spencer genes are not all that perfect. Diana's Grandfather was pretty violent. Also it's Great Aunt Margaret, she was Granny's sister. Andrew is Pa's brother
There's a custom with crowned heads that you don't touch them unless they touch you first.
Seems like good sense from their point of view. Can’t have people “hugging” you who also happen to have a knife or something else handy. Better to just be the one to initiate contact 🤣
Maybe the Queen had hearing problems. He swings one way then the next between hate then love. All based on his own interpretation of a situation. He needs help! Sounds like the ramblings of a pot head, and more!
Yup.
Perhaps Queen Elizabeth wasn’t wearing earplugs to keep out the rock music. Maybe she just found it loud. My son always found concerts and movies too loud and always wore earplugs. Or perhaps they were hearing aids. Don’t jump to conclusions Harry!
In the previous episode (and I'm paraphrasing) the book said Harry ''didn't care'' about history lessons. So, is he claiming that he was interested in school pre-Diana's passing (and it all changed after that) - or was he never really interested in school in the first place?
The book seems to indicate the former. I'm genuinely curious because a lot of what he said seems to suggest it was that tragic event that caused him to be 'rebellious' (in most areas of his life) but I get the impression that side of him was always there 😕 In other words, it sounds like excuses. Just my opinion on the story so far 🤷♀️
P.S: Your version of our English accent is funny! Greetings from UK 🇬🇧👋😂
He doesn’t comment on his academics before the crash. He starts everything off from that point, so I’m not sure how he thinks he was doing in school before that. Any insights you have gathered are welcome! I’m interested too!
And thanks about the accent! I know it’s quite the exaggeration 🤣🤣🤣
You mean it indicates the LATTER
@@doxasophosmoros Hi 👋🙂 In my opinion - just an opinion - Harry seems to want to portray himself as doing well until everything went 'wrong.' So, yeah, I feel that in the book he was either telling us that (the former), or he was ALWAYS bad,' / 'uninterested' (the latter). I think Harry wants us to think it's the FORMER (even though we all know it's the LATTER 😛). This is just my opinion 🙂
Henry Van Straubenzee there were two people in that car, the drunk driver lived, Henry died. Name of driver never released.
Oh no 😢 that's so terrible
Are you an actress? U r pretty perfect! I know i already commented, you have me snickering! So….funny…🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Wow, thank you! I’m not, just a teacher in TX 😄 so glad you’re enjoying the videos (and nobody can comment too much!! )
Just embarked on the long hike through Waagh! with you, I wouldn't buy the book, but you make it very enjoyable and thought-provoking. I actually do feel a bit sorry for Harry, which I never did before, being either indifferent or, more recently, incoherent with rage. Thank you.
I haven’t watched anyone else read this book as it’s too serious. Humorous I can take it thank you
I found your Revenge Review series, and absolutely loved it! Of course, I'm now binge watching the rest of your channel❤ you're so entertaining and funny. Thank you Cheere!! ❤
23:13 I wasn't sure what to do after school as well. It just happened that I really liked one subject and decided to go along with it.
I was listening while I was working and I thought Moaning Myrtle was with you.
Okay I’ll stop after one last comment. Harry’s teacher alleged she was told to help Harry write the accompanying text for the art. She said she had tape recordings to that effect. The teacher was fired and her claims dismissed by Eaton. She sued for unfair dismissal and won $45,000 from the school. Later it was admitted that Harry had “help” from someone else, but no one had written the text for him. Therefore it wasn’t really cheating. Yeah, sure.
'...genius casting...' 🤣🤣🤣
Once I viewed two of your programs and I decided I liked them, I subscribed to your channel. And I make sure I like every one that I do view. Thank you for all you do.
Awesome, thank you!!!!
Your videos are excellent! I subscribed 1 minute into the first I saw! Thank you
Thank you!!!!
His mind just never grew past the night his Ma died did it, the more he talks about Di the more of a laughing stock he is making of both himself and her.
By continually saying how good she was and trying to paint his father as the only sinner in their marriage, unfortunately it's bringing all Diana's faults and misdeeds to light and tarnishing her memory and legacy.
Pretty sure the “Art History” but is a swipe at WC. He started at an Art History - what we would call major here in the States - and that’s where he met Catherine who graduated with a Masters of Arts, with Honors degree. William changes his emphasis to Geography at some point - also graduating with a Masters with Honors.
It feels like he’s (the wife who’s ragefully jealous of Catherine) diminishing both of them.
Also, didn’t see this in the comments - his teacher did his final art project for him, got fired and eventually got a settlement from Eton, iirc. He wouldn’t have gotten into Sandhurst with just a D in Geography which was the only other A Level he achieved.
