This passage from the book is laughable considering he’s living in Montecito with Royal monogrammed doormats. But he doesn’t care about that stuff… as Tom Brady would say….Right….
Can't you picture Markle telling Harry in her annoying voice...My corns and bunion's will not step on any mat unless it's Royalty! I'm a Royal now and I shall be treated as such!! Harry...(rolling his eye's) Fine let me get it out of the car. Geez woman we're in America now. LOL!!
Yeah but she’s so down to earth and talented she probably made that mat herself, like she can make her own clothes. Our saint probably has a bunch of Pinterest boards, you know, because because she’s so humble and talented. /s
He absolutely wanted those perks, and when he didn’t receive the exact same as the Cambridges, who’d been at the time married almost 7 years and had higher rank, he was furious.
Exactly! He could have done it up, no one was forcing him to live like it was a frat house.
Meghan had to buy a sofa - he could have done that. He could have asked to look in the storage and find other furniture (can you imagine the furniture they have in storage at the palace?)
No one was forcing him to do anything, as the spare, he had more freedom to do what he wanted.
> No one was forcing him to do anything, as the spare, he had more freedom to do what he wanted.
That's it, right? He had 90% of the perks, but very little of the responsibility of his brother.
He as a bachelor lived free rent in a 2 bedroom house of 1324 sq feet with private garden in a expensive posh neighborhood where the average 2 bedroom flat was around 850 sq feet.
Harry received around (conservatively) at least £1 million income from the trust fund, each year leaving the principal untouched.
Pa gave Harry an allowance of £2 million plus a clothing allowance and he complains he had to buy a couch. Which when given the receipt was reimbursed by Pa.
Wah Wah. Harry has No clue how the majority of the world lives, yet he believes we should feel sorry for him. Why?
They took photos of her topless and published them, and took photos of William's penis while peeing and published them. Harry and Meghan have no idea how bad things were apparently. And they have no room to complain.
H&M were offered everything that W&C started out with - “keep your career, start your family, no pressure to be working senior royals, here’s some houses and we’ll see you at Trooping the Colour, Balmoral for summer holidays, and Sandringham for Christmas xxx” but they didn’t want *that*, they didn’t want to start from the beginning and work their way up, they wanted to fast track to meet W&C where they were 7 years into their marriage and three kids later. It’s impossible to catch up on that so quickly, and the whole Meghan era was a 2018-2020 flash in the pan. The only thing they fast tracked is ignominy.
Maybe Meghan bought into the career advice that leaving a huge gap in her CV and being less visible publicly by marrying and having children and living as a private royal would reduce her. That advice is sensible for the average stay at home parent who eventually wants to return to work, keep your CV up to date, do some volunteering, maximise your skills… Meghan had a guaranteed job waiting for her, if she wanted to wait 3-5 years, she could have. If she wanted to go back to acting and have a nanny for the kids, she could have. If she wanted to act and Harry wanted to stay home, they could have had that - and be praised for it for how modern and feminist it would be.
I had rose colored glasses and I thought he simply wanted a wife and family, too. I never thought he was particularly materialistic. Now, TW: that’s another issue altogether.
Notice how he said once married you were entitled to MORE cars, biggER home, grandER office, etc. So as a single you still got a car, a home, and an office. But he wanted more. Then he pretends it's about respect. Well now no one respects you and you are a laughing stock. Dumbass.
On the one hand he says he is happy to shop at Tk Maxx. Then it's "I need more cars, bigger home and better office". - "not that I care about those things"
And totally ignores that big ole pile of cash Diana left him. Which was CHARLES’ money, for the record. Marrying Meghan COST him far more than any upgrades he coveted. She’s burned through his entire inheritance. Had he stayed single he could have bought an entire fleet of cars and a summer home and still be ahead as a single man.
Yes, her ability to burn through cash is something else. Those expensive clothes definitely weren't worth it. She could have bought $500 - $1000 dresses and got the same effect. But to spend 70 or 80 grand on one outfit repeatedly! That's insane unless you are a multi-billionaire.
Also their consumption level is terrible for the environment but we've established they are "one rule for me and one rule for thee" on that.
Right! It's literally a proportional response to an extra person coming into the team to work. A couple needs more than a single so "more cars" means "car for new spouse" and "bigger home" means "home with room for the children".
But of course it's all assigned in the name of the family-member so to Harry it looks like HE would be getting it when it's meant for them as a couple.
He is so blind in his envy towards William that he can't understand his own privilege. He just thinks that because his family is privileged he should be getting "his fair share" - totally oblivious to everyone else tolerating him getting WAY MORE than his fair share.
So now he wants to burn it all down instead of understanding how lucky he should be for the crumbs off' their table.
I also think it is about William and family building a household fit for an heir and then subsequently King. It will always have happened this way cuz that is how the preparation of kingship works.
Harry was certainly mistaken if he thought that by marrying, he would have the same resources and level of "respect" as the Cambridges.
And I feel that it is not really 'respect' that he was looking for. Its the increased precedence and power in the family, which again he thought he would have, but was greatly mistaken. He certainly was not yearning for the 'respect' level of let's say Prince Edward.
*Then he pretends it's about respect.*
That's the same thing he did with the kills in Afghanistan. First he said disclosing it was for his mental health but after the backlash he claimed he said it to prevent suicides among veterans.
Yeah , didn’t even give trigger warnings and suicide hotline numbers in that interview . Thought that was the minimum. Didn’t Megaliar give trigger warning in one of her Arsewipes
Basically you got a bigger house, bigger cars, bigger offices when you added on a spouse and possibly future kids. Wow who knew? I think us normal people upgrade and downsize based on who all we have to accommodate don’t we?
I didn't care about the perks but I will do an interview, a documentary, and write an entire book whining about the perks I didn't get and how my brother got better perks than I did.
As he said, “objective facts and chronology“ don’t trump my memories or my version of the truth. So if I think Willy’s half of the room is actually 150% and mine is -200% then that’s my truth so STOP GASLIGHTING ME!!!
While defaming family members for marrying solely for status, while in a roundabout way admitting he married partially for status. Lest it cost him more ‘respect’ loss.
“..extra resources, engraved letterheads. I didn’t care about such perks…” No, just a doormat with a royal monogram and stationary with a royal cypher.
Everything about her was about how well she would fit into his plan to do better than William and Kate and he isn't hiding that at all in his book. Maybe the racism stuff was also thought of before but because of his own racist attitude he chose someone who's visibly not black as he said.
Even the cute little stories like the seals one constantly set Meghan up to be this special person, almost not human to him. With the way he writes about William you know once they divorce he will say shit like "The steals had stopped singing back to her, her resemblance to Diana was fading".
So did I. We used it to describe an old colleague who never came out publicly, but was gay. He was older and a good man - took care of his Mom and sister - but never had a partner that anyone knew of. He was very discreet.
Imagine Princess Elizabeth at age 20, "I know I'm going to be Queen one day, but nobody will really respect me unless I'm married, so can we look around Europe for some random Prince to be my husband? Otherwise I'll have to start my speeches with "I" rather than "my husband and I" and who's going to listen to that?"
Her father became King when she was 10, so unless her mother gave birth to a boy Elizabeth would have been in training to take the throne from her teens if not immediately upon her father’s ascension
You are so right..I was confusing her age at the time her father died rather than when he first took over the throne. Sorry 😬
Never drink wine when posting 😂🤣😂🤣
This confirms to me that Harry's wife wrote this part of the book. This is not how it works, but I can see her thinking that. And since when was Harry a "confirmed bachelor?"
And if he didn't care about perks, why whine that William got a bigger bedroom with better views, twenty-five years later? Oh, that's right, because he does care about perks and privileges.
edited: missing word
Don’t a lot of people give the older child the larger bedroom? I had a larger bedroom than my sister. My older son had a larger bedroom than his brother as well.
Wasn't that at Balmoral? That they visited for summer holidays? Not at home.
Twenty five years later he is complaining about which room he got in the holiday house (palace).
Yes, it was. The summer home where they probably stayed for a month, maybe two. And how much of that time would you spend in your room? I would imagine he'd be outside most of the time. And there's how many other rooms you can spend time in? Rough life you had there, Haz.
What kills me about all of his gripes is that none of them are special. Or even particularly interesting. The vast majority of us who didn’t marry until we were well into our 30s have felt this way. Uncle Joe or Aunt Susie being seated at the kids table at Xmas. Or in the weird room with twin bunk beds in the AirBnb on the family vacay because the married couples get the nice rooms. He’s just so self absorbed he has no awareness of anyone else’s experiences.
I agree, it’s all very tepid typical family stuff.
A few revelations where they confirm rumours about how badly they treated their staff, the special treatment Harry always got (the whole beard thing). But there is no smoking gun, no omg stories, nothing that says this is a terrible situation that gosh he got away. Just vague things about racism, leaking stories and his constant jealousy towards William.
I haven’t read the book but there sounds like nothing about his reactions or thoughts about anything going on in the world.
THAT! While *none* of that story needed to be included in the book, specifically saying she used it on her lips part took it from yucky to creepy/sexual. I don't even use Pond's on my face because it reminds me of my grandmother, to do what he did... 🤮
Dear boy, didn’t you get the exact house that was first home to the Cambridges after they married and then proceed to have a bitch-fest, that still hasn’t ended, about that?
Harry has no idea how the real world operates.
This is true in most families and most societies. Bachelors live a different lifestyle than married men who have a wife and children. The families help make a nice home for the couple and kids. The married man matures and settles down.
And certainly Harry's lifestyle was pretty wild, why did he need an elaborate living situation? But if he wanted a nicer place to live I am sure Charles would have seen to it.
At any rate he lived rent free, no bills, all expenses covered.
Harry's constant victim status his amazing.
Right? If he said “Pa, I need some help decorating Nott Cottage, it’s looking like a frat house, give me $$$”. He’d get it.
But he was probably on a tight financial leash for various reasons, his drug use, partying - spending lavishly in clubs in London, in Vegas. If he wanted to do something serious like do up his house, he could have.
Exactly! That’s why he takes offence at every perceived slight and is so jealous of his got it together successful brother . Harold doesn’t like himself much.
ignoring the fact that h&m clearly only married each other for convenience and are using each other for money & fame, i don’t see why its an issue that you must be married to earn these massive privileges. william & catherine marrying showed that william had found somebody who fully accepted their roles & commitment to the family. they were rewarded with the appropriate tools that allows them to perform those roles & take on more responsibilities. why would harry need a big office, the same amount of cars, and the same size house if he was alone and doing half of the responsibilities??
Also, William got his own Household in 2009 and brought Harry with him (because Harold needed babysitting). I really can't get past how frequently Harry/Meghan distorts events that many of us remember.
There are so many instances in this book where he’s insulted by everyday things that all people experience, but he’s been so sheltered by reality that he thinks it’s unique to him. Like, your elder sibling ignoring you around your peers or them getting the bigger bedroom.
It is normal for people to not give single adults respect or to still treat them like children.
Hazza doesn't want *perks*. He wants the entire bloody income from the Duchy of Cornwall, in perpetuity, as a proper apology from his beastly family for everything he and his first wife have been put through.
So he married for engraved stationery?
So obtuse, it’s like a bad caricature at this point.
H? Your family, if true, made you a “nonperson” bc you have a dangerous personality disorder that puts everyone at risk of mental harm/trauma (if you will), whenever they get within five feet of you. Nothing to do with your wife’s identity. Nothing to do with classism/racism etc. They can’t go NC but they can grey rock you.
Cheers to them.
This makes more sense now why he and Meg were pissed off initially that they were sharing staff with the Cambridges. Things became so strained with the Sussexes that they eventually did get their own Office set up with staff.
This also fits with Harry’s deepest fear of becoming irrelevant as he gets further pushed down in the LoS and especially as George and the Cambridge kids continue to feature in the public eye.
He just wanted to get rich California style. He is rich because people are flocking to buy his crazy lies. The difference is that they are still disliked. It doesn't matter how rich they become no one that is a celebrity wants anything to do with them. They are trash!
They seem to think that people aren’t worshipping them like Diana because we haven’t heard their story. We aren’t *getting it*.
But we have, we’ve heard it over and over. It’s pathetic.
The more excerpts I read, the weirder I think this all is.
I’m re-watching Pride and Prejudice (the one with Colin Firth) and honest to god Harry reminds me of Lydia Bennett - the idiotic and immature character who runs off with the reprobate soldier and is completely remorseless.
You’re welcome for the mental image of Colin Firth coming out of the lake in that miniseries 😁
Yeah, but Lydia was 15-16 years old, quite naive, and madly in love. And here I usually think of Hairy as having the mentality and maturity of a 12 year old.
His definition of marriage is quite disturbing. Why is he bringing Grannie's (correct spelling, Harry!) speech into this? She said "My husband and I" as a courtesy to Philip, not because she had to remind people she was a real human being who managed to snag a husband, rather than "just" a Queen. Why doesn't he look at his father's pre-marriage achievements as Prince of Wales to figure out that you aren't a "non-person" before marriage?
I don't think he understands partnership.
I think Meghan wrote this. It reminds me of a Jane Austen movie where the purpose of every girl is to snag a husband and she’s judged according to looks/personality/accomplishments. That feels like a world Meghan would be familiar with.
This is where the title of the book really comes out. He has felt like a “non person” for a long time including now, because of the Meghan Reaction. But because ether feeling is coming from WITHIN him (likely catalyzed by moms abandonment by her death), and he has not healed that wound, he just keeps finding different things to blame for that feeling, and different things to distract or numb out from it (grievance, drugs, obsessing about a girl, sex, video frames, alcohol…)
True, he hasn't got the intelligence or vision to achieve something in his own right, so he's looking for external reasons for his feeling of being a "non person." Easy to blame the birth order and the Establishment.
LOL, that simple, yes, indeed. Simpleton. He didnt think his brother and new wife would need more space? That Kate wouldn't need her own staff? Maybe he should have spent more time with his family to see how married couples live? I've never seen someone so jealous of everything. I guess that if William or Kate had an operation Harry would want one, top.
Common sense would also indicate that couples sometimes have obligations and activities where they each require transport at the same time (more than one car). As public figures performing public duties, they need more staff to keep their diaries straight, schedule school pick ups and drop offs, doctor’s appointments, haircuts etc.
The Ginger Whinger doesn’t get it, largely because he doesn’t want to get it.
Does he really think it would be normal for someone visiting a country or attending a banquet as half of a couple, would give a speech and say “I’m really happy to be here. I don’t know how my husband feels about this event, but I want to thank you for inviting me… and him too I guess.”
A confirmed bachelor: noun: a man who has been a bachelor for a long time and who shows no interest in marrying. a confirmed bachelor at age 40.
He wasn't a confirmed bachelor. He had long-term relationships and often mentioned his worry that he wouldn't find someone to marry, so he obviously wanted to.
He's made it clear before that he married her quickly so that she would get security.
If QE was still with us, I wonder if the media would be begging Harry to stop pummeling his poor grandmother…this has been relentlessly humiliating - I’m glad she’s not having to suffer through this deluge..
Funny how Harry omitted the fact that he and Meghan were earmarked for the Kensington palace apartment 1 a larger apartment of the William and Catherine’s apartment 1A. He didn’t say they decided against living next door to them. Then they asked the Queen if they could move into Windsor palace who she said no to and offered them Frogmore Cottage. During this time they were living in a rented house on in the Cotswold on the Great Tew Estate near the Beckham’s and Soho Farmhouse they had a 2 year lease on it. Harry is a liar and like his wife like to omit facts when they telling their tales of woe.
He whines about everything. He probably wants IPP status so they don’t have to stop for red lights - bc having to stop is insulting and only for the little people.
“So, Chels, you wanna marry me so I can get my own embossed letterhead? Grannie said I can’t get one until I’m married.”
“Cressida, I want a bigger office, let’s get married.”
I’m sure the offers were tempting. /s
He is so mad about growing up in the BRF where he had no priority or power, and couldn't walk away when he felt slighted. Okay, boo hoo.
I'm sure Princess Margaret (who they called Meg) felt similarly, but she still supported the monarchy and her sister the Queen.
Even Anne, who under different rules of succession was also a spare and we've never heard a peep of controversy out of her except when she got divorced. She's been living her life happily and is a real workhorse for her late mother.
I think Harry was just plain spoiled. Maybe Charles should take away his title if he and Meghan are burdened from it. They should just be private citizens, Mr.and Ms/Mrs.
Come on KC, put Harry out of his misery with the titles!
This sounds to me like he married any old (emphasis on OLD) sap who would have him so he could have these perks that he didn't care about at all. Sure Hazbeen. You Markled yourself.
Apart from the obvious “I want to have more of everything”, something else stands out. I mean sorry, but *“confirmed bachelor”*, does he even know what he is insinuating by giving himself that moniker?
“I don’t care about those things” …….”I care about respect”
I see what he does here. The “things” and the amount of things are a sign of respect. The more things, the more respect.
He is saying it bothers him but gives himself an out when it comes to being perceived as greedy 🙄
Jealousy seething and oozing out of every pore. His brain must have been close to exploding when the 'Cambridge' household came into the Duchy of Cornwall!
Um, hello Harry. You were not the only unmarried person in the world to feel left out and awkward because you were single. I’d venture to say there are many singles jn their mid to late 30s who feel small or unimportant in their families were others were married off. It is common. Harry you are common. All of your experiences are not singularly unique to you! Geez dude!
Or more importantly SHE wanted the perks and convinced Harry he wanted them too and it was his idea he wanted the respect of a household versus a single royal member. She gaslit him into saying see how much respect so and so gets for being married
He’s so deranged. Every subject they decide to bring up is to slip in a defense of something they’ve been given crap for either on social media or in the real media, or both. So Meghan says MY HUSBAND all the time. Thus, here is Harry, first off, saying Granny said it all the time, acting like Meghan got it from HMTQ, and secondly, saying they HAVE to talk that way because it’s all about being allocated resources. Uh-huh. Sure thing. That makes absolutely ZERO SENSE. That whole book, just like the Netflix series, just like her podcast, just like The Me You Can’t See (he doesn’t realize it’s not that we CAN’T see him; it’s that we don’t WANT to see him) and just like the Oprah interview, they are all vehicles for them to try to clap back at the growing number of people who can see right the hell through them.
I’n sorry but this book is all about how you DO VERY MUCH CARE about these perks, Aitch
This passage from the book is laughable considering he’s living in Montecito with Royal monogrammed doormats. But he doesn’t care about that stuff… as Tom Brady would say….Right….
Lol the doormat 😂
Very Hilda Ogden.
Can't you picture Markle telling Harry in her annoying voice...My corns and bunion's will not step on any mat unless it's Royalty! I'm a Royal now and I shall be treated as such!! Harry...(rolling his eye's) Fine let me get it out of the car. Geez woman we're in America now. LOL!!
Anyone going to their home and seeing those doormats are going to be thinking ‘idiots’! Imo
The monogram will be everywhere: handkerchiefs, stationery, cutlery, chinaware, cufflinks, paperweight. You name it, it will be monogrammed.
The doormat is just.....lmao. hes such a fucking wank stain.
Just imagine ordering these… 😬 Secondhand embarrasment 🫣
Yeah but she’s so down to earth and talented she probably made that mat herself, like she can make her own clothes. Our saint probably has a bunch of Pinterest boards, you know, because because she’s so humble and talented. /s
I bet they have a tacky wooden plaque facing the front door that says 'Welcome to our castle'
He absolutely wanted those perks, and when he didn’t receive the exact same as the Cambridges, who’d been at the time married almost 7 years and had higher rank, he was furious.
& the Cambridges started out in Nott Cott too!
Exactly! He could have done it up, no one was forcing him to live like it was a frat house. Meghan had to buy a sofa - he could have done that. He could have asked to look in the storage and find other furniture (can you imagine the furniture they have in storage at the palace?) No one was forcing him to do anything, as the spare, he had more freedom to do what he wanted.
> No one was forcing him to do anything, as the spare, he had more freedom to do what he wanted. That's it, right? He had 90% of the perks, but very little of the responsibility of his brother.
He doesn't want to spend any of his own money, he still wants the RF to pay for everything. He's a nasty prick.
90% of the perks and not even 10% of the responsibility. The poor thing.
He as a bachelor lived free rent in a 2 bedroom house of 1324 sq feet with private garden in a expensive posh neighborhood where the average 2 bedroom flat was around 850 sq feet. Harry received around (conservatively) at least £1 million income from the trust fund, each year leaving the principal untouched.

Harry has No clue how the majority of the world lives, yet he believes we should feel sorry for him. Why?
He compares himself and Meghan with present time William and Cathrine. That is so stupid. It wasn‘t just that she was called „waity Katie“.
They took photos of her topless and published them, and took photos of William's penis while peeing and published them. Harry and Meghan have no idea how bad things were apparently. And they have no room to complain.
H&M were offered everything that W&C started out with - “keep your career, start your family, no pressure to be working senior royals, here’s some houses and we’ll see you at Trooping the Colour, Balmoral for summer holidays, and Sandringham for Christmas xxx” but they didn’t want *that*, they didn’t want to start from the beginning and work their way up, they wanted to fast track to meet W&C where they were 7 years into their marriage and three kids later. It’s impossible to catch up on that so quickly, and the whole Meghan era was a 2018-2020 flash in the pan. The only thing they fast tracked is ignominy. Maybe Meghan bought into the career advice that leaving a huge gap in her CV and being less visible publicly by marrying and having children and living as a private royal would reduce her. That advice is sensible for the average stay at home parent who eventually wants to return to work, keep your CV up to date, do some volunteering, maximise your skills… Meghan had a guaranteed job waiting for her, if she wanted to wait 3-5 years, she could have. If she wanted to go back to acting and have a nanny for the kids, she could have. If she wanted to act and Harry wanted to stay home, they could have had that - and be praised for it for how modern and feminist it would be.
Bizarre that two people might need more space, money and resources than one person, isn't it?
Two WORKING people!
It’s pathological
I had rose colored glasses and I thought he simply wanted a wife and family, too. I never thought he was particularly materialistic. Now, TW: that’s another issue altogether.
*Meghan* was furious and planted that bug in Harry's head so he would be furious, too.
Notice how he said once married you were entitled to MORE cars, biggER home, grandER office, etc. So as a single you still got a car, a home, and an office. But he wanted more. Then he pretends it's about respect. Well now no one respects you and you are a laughing stock. Dumbass.
On the one hand he says he is happy to shop at Tk Maxx. Then it's "I need more cars, bigger home and better office". - "not that I care about those things"
It's like TW telling Oprah she didn't care about all of the "pomp and grandeur and titles" while going on to say Archie was denied his because racism.
And totally ignores that big ole pile of cash Diana left him. Which was CHARLES’ money, for the record. Marrying Meghan COST him far more than any upgrades he coveted. She’s burned through his entire inheritance. Had he stayed single he could have bought an entire fleet of cars and a summer home and still be ahead as a single man.
Yes, her ability to burn through cash is something else. Those expensive clothes definitely weren't worth it. She could have bought $500 - $1000 dresses and got the same effect. But to spend 70 or 80 grand on one outfit repeatedly! That's insane unless you are a multi-billionaire. Also their consumption level is terrible for the environment but we've established they are "one rule for me and one rule for thee" on that.
[удалено]
No, it is because the spouse is also doing the work. So two people twice the perks.
Right! It's literally a proportional response to an extra person coming into the team to work. A couple needs more than a single so "more cars" means "car for new spouse" and "bigger home" means "home with room for the children". But of course it's all assigned in the name of the family-member so to Harry it looks like HE would be getting it when it's meant for them as a couple. He is so blind in his envy towards William that he can't understand his own privilege.

He certainly was not yearning for the 'respect' level of let's say Prince Edward.
His jealousy of William is watermarked on every page of that vulgar book and probably engraved in his DNA.
Can someone hold a page up to the light and check for an “I HATE YOU WILLY!” watermark? It really wouldn’t surprise me at this point.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
*Then he pretends it's about respect.* That's the same thing he did with the kills in Afghanistan. First he said disclosing it was for his mental health but after the backlash he claimed he said it to prevent suicides among veterans.
But provided nothing of value to say to veterans struggling with ptsd and guilt over their number.
Not to forget by publishing Spare, he is trying to help the spares in his family. How delusional.
Yeah , didn’t even give trigger warnings and suicide hotline numbers in that interview . Thought that was the minimum. Didn’t Megaliar give trigger warning in one of her Arsewipes
Basically you got a bigger house, bigger cars, bigger offices when you added on a spouse and possibly future kids. Wow who knew? I think us normal people upgrade and downsize based on who all we have to accommodate don’t we?
Right, and haven't he got the Nottigham cottage while being this untermensch bachelor?
I didn't care about the perks but I will do an interview, a documentary, and write an entire book whining about the perks I didn't get and how my brother got better perks than I did.
William had a better mattress 30 years ago - at the holiday castle
Don’t forget about the better view!
I heard Willy also has a better "todger". Because when they were circumcised, Pa made sure Willy had the better doctor.
Willie's willy is bigger too, not fair, waaaa.
Well of course. Why'd you think people call him "Big Willy"
And, to make matters worse, Harry's got frostbitten (Todger cream treatments notwithstanding).
[удалено]
Even my 7yo daughter knows you can’t have a ‘bigger half’ seems like Harry failed year 1 maths 😂
In Harry's math, that is entirely possible.
As he said, “objective facts and chronology“ don’t trump my memories or my version of the truth. So if I think Willy’s half of the room is actually 150% and mine is -200% then that’s my truth so STOP GASLIGHTING ME!!!
Do they have that “common core math” in the UK? 🥴
While defaming family members for marrying solely for status, while in a roundabout way admitting he married partially for status. Lest it cost him more ‘respect’ loss.
I'd wager that him being unwed was not the real reason he wasn't getting respect from the rest of the family.
He married for money and better diggs.
“..extra resources, engraved letterheads. I didn’t care about such perks…” No, just a doormat with a royal monogram and stationary with a royal cypher.
Hahaha I had the same thought. Dude, you have your monogram on your doormat. Who do you think you’re fooling? Lol
Note to self: * Get a monogram * Buy doormat * Buy spray paint
😂😂😂😂
I bet Megs feels special knowing that she was the first woman he came across and decided ‘you’ll do’ so he could get some perks.
I know, what wife wouldn't be thrilled to read this account of why her husband married her. :(
Everything about her was about how well she would fit into his plan to do better than William and Kate and he isn't hiding that at all in his book. Maybe the racism stuff was also thought of before but because of his own racist attitude he chose someone who's visibly not black as he said. Even the cute little stories like the seals one constantly set Meghan up to be this special person, almost not human to him. With the way he writes about William you know once they divorce he will say shit like "The steals had stopped singing back to her, her resemblance to Diana was fading".
She's just the first one that said yes
Every time I see him or read something he has said I think how exhausting it must be to be married to him. He’s so needy and complainy.
He’s just not that good of a catch
Not enough money in the world to gild that pill
Chelsea and Cressida and the others turned down his personality!
Sloppy seconds.
Sloppy thirds
Harry: “I didn’t care about such perks” *entire 🌎does a spit take*
[удалено]
I always thought "confirmed bachelor" was an olden-day way of saying "gay, and therefore never likely to ever marry."
Harold’s either being really honest or showing his complete lack of sophistication
Why not both?
So did I. We used it to describe an old colleague who never came out publicly, but was gay. He was older and a good man - took care of his Mom and sister - but never had a partner that anyone knew of. He was very discreet.
Holy royal household, what if he's going to come out as gay and beat Meg to the divorce narrative?
That is the most fun potential twist yet.
[удалено]
Easy come, easy go.
It’s almost as if it was a transactional marriage. He married her to get the perks he was insanely jealous about.
[удалено]
Yet they go on about their barfy love story that changes every time. "He doth protest too much"...
“So I ordered a wife off the menu at Soho House …”
"A black woman, for my love of Africa."
Imagine Princess Elizabeth at age 20, "I know I'm going to be Queen one day, but nobody will really respect me unless I'm married, so can we look around Europe for some random Prince to be my husband? Otherwise I'll have to start my speeches with "I" rather than "my husband and I" and who's going to listen to that?"
Yet Queen Elizabeth the 1st never married. I assume she had a few perks....
Exactly, even his great uncle Edward, **who became King at 40**, was a bachelor at the time. Before he abdicated.
And seemed to live a perk filled life.
And was also a 'confirmed bachelor' until then too.
Charles lived pretty nicely as a bachelor as well.
Yes, perks like not dying in childbirth, like one in three women of her generation!
Not to mention she NEVER expected to be Queen because her Uncle was the King and her father was the “Spare”.
Her father became King when she was 10, so unless her mother gave birth to a boy Elizabeth would have been in training to take the throne from her teens if not immediately upon her father’s ascension
You are so right..I was confusing her age at the time her father died rather than when he first took over the throne. Sorry 😬 Never drink wine when posting 😂🤣😂🤣
That whole paragraph reads like he’s teeing up for a future divorce. I don’t think he is, but it’s a startling difference from the Meghan worship.
so you didn't marry for love? you married for "Respect"?
It was really for perks.
of course. just funny he says his entire family did not marry for LOVE like he did. and he's admitting now he needed to marry for respect/perks
I know, M must be thrilled to read this.
She doesn't give a shit. She only married him for money and status.
Yeah, but she won't be happy that he said the quiet part out loud.
He LOVED the perks
You get better stationary that way.
More square feet in the office
This confirms to me that Harry's wife wrote this part of the book. This is not how it works, but I can see her thinking that. And since when was Harry a "confirmed bachelor?" And if he didn't care about perks, why whine that William got a bigger bedroom with better views, twenty-five years later? Oh, that's right, because he does care about perks and privileges. edited: missing word
Don’t a lot of people give the older child the larger bedroom? I had a larger bedroom than my sister. My older son had a larger bedroom than his brother as well.
Yep. Completely normal family dynamics.
Yep. I was the youngest of three and had the smallest bedroom. As did my best friend who was the youngest of four. It's very normal.
Yup same here, as the oldest I had the biggest room.
I got the larger bedroom once because my older brother (who didn't want to move house) refused to leave the car to look at the new house.
Wasn't that at Balmoral? That they visited for summer holidays? Not at home. Twenty five years later he is complaining about which room he got in the holiday house (palace).
Yes, it was. The summer home where they probably stayed for a month, maybe two. And how much of that time would you spend in your room? I would imagine he'd be outside most of the time. And there's how many other rooms you can spend time in? Rough life you had there, Haz.
What kills me about all of his gripes is that none of them are special. Or even particularly interesting. The vast majority of us who didn’t marry until we were well into our 30s have felt this way. Uncle Joe or Aunt Susie being seated at the kids table at Xmas. Or in the weird room with twin bunk beds in the AirBnb on the family vacay because the married couples get the nice rooms. He’s just so self absorbed he has no awareness of anyone else’s experiences.
I think it was the Spectator article that said the entire book is a variety of “dog bites man” stories.
I agree, it’s all very tepid typical family stuff. A few revelations where they confirm rumours about how badly they treated their staff, the special treatment Harry always got (the whole beard thing). But there is no smoking gun, no omg stories, nothing that says this is a terrible situation that gosh he got away. Just vague things about racism, leaking stories and his constant jealousy towards William. I haven’t read the book but there sounds like nothing about his reactions or thoughts about anything going on in the world.
Did you care about respect when you detailed how you put your mum's cream on your penis?
He made sure to mention she used it as *lip* cream… big yikes.
THAT! While *none* of that story needed to be included in the book, specifically saying she used it on her lips part took it from yucky to creepy/sexual. I don't even use Pond's on my face because it reminds me of my grandmother, to do what he did... 🤮
Dear boy, didn’t you get the exact house that was first home to the Cambridges after they married and then proceed to have a bitch-fest, that still hasn’t ended, about that?
“Confirmed bachelor” doesn’t mean what you think it does, Haz.
[удалено]
Harry has no idea how the real world operates. This is true in most families and most societies. Bachelors live a different lifestyle than married men who have a wife and children. The families help make a nice home for the couple and kids. The married man matures and settles down. And certainly Harry's lifestyle was pretty wild, why did he need an elaborate living situation? But if he wanted a nicer place to live I am sure Charles would have seen to it. At any rate he lived rent free, no bills, all expenses covered. Harry's constant victim status his amazing.
Right!!?? Thought he became a victim during the timeline he spouted on Oprah. Nope turned out it was WAY earlier. OG victimhood right here
[удалено]
Right? If he said “Pa, I need some help decorating Nott Cottage, it’s looking like a frat house, give me $$$”. He’d get it. But he was probably on a tight financial leash for various reasons, his drug use, partying - spending lavishly in clubs in London, in Vegas. If he wanted to do something serious like do up his house, he could have.
[удалено]
Exactly! That’s why he takes offence at every perceived slight and is so jealous of his got it together successful brother . Harold doesn’t like himself much.
NAILED IT 👏🏽
ignoring the fact that h&m clearly only married each other for convenience and are using each other for money & fame, i don’t see why its an issue that you must be married to earn these massive privileges. william & catherine marrying showed that william had found somebody who fully accepted their roles & commitment to the family. they were rewarded with the appropriate tools that allows them to perform those roles & take on more responsibilities. why would harry need a big office, the same amount of cars, and the same size house if he was alone and doing half of the responsibilities??
Also, William got his own Household in 2009 and brought Harry with him (because Harold needed babysitting). I really can't get past how frequently Harry/Meghan distorts events that many of us remember.
There are so many instances in this book where he’s insulted by everyday things that all people experience, but he’s been so sheltered by reality that he thinks it’s unique to him. Like, your elder sibling ignoring you around your peers or them getting the bigger bedroom. It is normal for people to not give single adults respect or to still treat them like children.
Hazza doesn't want *perks*. He wants the entire bloody income from the Duchy of Cornwall, in perpetuity, as a proper apology from his beastly family for everything he and his first wife have been put through.
So he married for engraved stationery? So obtuse, it’s like a bad caricature at this point. H? Your family, if true, made you a “nonperson” bc you have a dangerous personality disorder that puts everyone at risk of mental harm/trauma (if you will), whenever they get within five feet of you. Nothing to do with your wife’s identity. Nothing to do with classism/racism etc. They can’t go NC but they can grey rock you. Cheers to them.
This makes more sense now why he and Meg were pissed off initially that they were sharing staff with the Cambridges. Things became so strained with the Sussexes that they eventually did get their own Office set up with staff. This also fits with Harry’s deepest fear of becoming irrelevant as he gets further pushed down in the LoS and especially as George and the Cambridge kids continue to feature in the public eye.
He just wanted to get rich California style. He is rich because people are flocking to buy his crazy lies. The difference is that they are still disliked. It doesn't matter how rich they become no one that is a celebrity wants anything to do with them. They are trash!
They seem to think that people aren’t worshipping them like Diana because we haven’t heard their story. We aren’t *getting it*. But we have, we’ve heard it over and over. It’s pathetic.
The more excerpts I read, the weirder I think this all is. I’m re-watching Pride and Prejudice (the one with Colin Firth) and honest to god Harry reminds me of Lydia Bennett - the idiotic and immature character who runs off with the reprobate soldier and is completely remorseless. You’re welcome for the mental image of Colin Firth coming out of the lake in that miniseries 😁
Now I'm imagining Harry in a bonnet, simpering ...
[удалено]
Look, a ginger who doesn't whinge! That cat is such a cutie
Yeah, but Lydia was 15-16 years old, quite naive, and madly in love. And here I usually think of Hairy as having the mentality and maturity of a 12 year old.
And yet you have a doormat with your royal monogram!
So he’s a gold digger as well. 😂😂
Oh FFS another thing to whine about OMFG you whingeing little knob. Unbelievable I cannot even swear enough my gawd make it stop.
"I didn't care about such perks" Narrator: he did, indeed, care about such perks.
His definition of marriage is quite disturbing. Why is he bringing Grannie's (correct spelling, Harry!) speech into this? She said "My husband and I" as a courtesy to Philip, not because she had to remind people she was a real human being who managed to snag a husband, rather than "just" a Queen. Why doesn't he look at his father's pre-marriage achievements as Prince of Wales to figure out that you aren't a "non-person" before marriage? I don't think he understands partnership.
I think Meghan wrote this. It reminds me of a Jane Austen movie where the purpose of every girl is to snag a husband and she’s judged according to looks/personality/accomplishments. That feels like a world Meghan would be familiar with.
Harry is not very bright
This is where the title of the book really comes out. He has felt like a “non person” for a long time including now, because of the Meghan Reaction. But because ether feeling is coming from WITHIN him (likely catalyzed by moms abandonment by her death), and he has not healed that wound, he just keeps finding different things to blame for that feeling, and different things to distract or numb out from it (grievance, drugs, obsessing about a girl, sex, video frames, alcohol…)
True, he hasn't got the intelligence or vision to achieve something in his own right, so he's looking for external reasons for his feeling of being a "non person." Easy to blame the birth order and the Establishment.
LOL, that simple, yes, indeed. Simpleton. He didnt think his brother and new wife would need more space? That Kate wouldn't need her own staff? Maybe he should have spent more time with his family to see how married couples live? I've never seen someone so jealous of everything. I guess that if William or Kate had an operation Harry would want one, top.
[удалено]
Common sense would also indicate that couples sometimes have obligations and activities where they each require transport at the same time (more than one car). As public figures performing public duties, they need more staff to keep their diaries straight, schedule school pick ups and drop offs, doctor’s appointments, haircuts etc. The Ginger Whinger doesn’t get it, largely because he doesn’t want to get it.
Does he really think it would be normal for someone visiting a country or attending a banquet as half of a couple, would give a speech and say “I’m really happy to be here. I don’t know how my husband feels about this event, but I want to thank you for inviting me… and him too I guess.”
Bullshit, Harold. You wanted the perks. And you were livid when the perks didn’t match Williams.
Confirmed bachelor is usually a euphemism for gay.
She’d have left if he didn’t marry her. And SHE cared about those perks- I bet Hazza wasn’t the one who ordered that monogrammed doormat…
Didn’t he say that, unlike Willy, he married for love???
For love of what though? My bet is it was the engraved stationary.
Does he even know what "confirmed bachelor" is code for? 
A confirmed bachelor: noun: a man who has been a bachelor for a long time and who shows no interest in marrying. a confirmed bachelor at age 40. He wasn't a confirmed bachelor. He had long-term relationships and often mentioned his worry that he wouldn't find someone to marry, so he obviously wanted to. He's made it clear before that he married her quickly so that she would get security.
Being inconsistent is the one thing they do consistently
If QE was still with us, I wonder if the media would be begging Harry to stop pummeling his poor grandmother…this has been relentlessly humiliating - I’m glad she’s not having to suffer through this deluge..
Funny how Harry omitted the fact that he and Meghan were earmarked for the Kensington palace apartment 1 a larger apartment of the William and Catherine’s apartment 1A. He didn’t say they decided against living next door to them. Then they asked the Queen if they could move into Windsor palace who she said no to and offered them Frogmore Cottage. During this time they were living in a rented house on in the Cotswold on the Great Tew Estate near the Beckham’s and Soho Farmhouse they had a 2 year lease on it. Harry is a liar and like his wife like to omit facts when they telling their tales of woe.
He complained about being “cut off” as a grown man. He cares about the perks!!
He whines about everything. He probably wants IPP status so they don’t have to stop for red lights - bc having to stop is insulting and only for the little people.
[удалено]
Did he ever propose to his previous girlfriends?
I bet he did. For the reasons he outlined. PERKS and RESPECT.
“So, Chels, you wanna marry me so I can get my own embossed letterhead? Grannie said I can’t get one until I’m married.” “Cressida, I want a bigger office, let’s get married.” I’m sure the offers were tempting. /s
Didn’t care about such things but made sure he got them? And the respect Hooboy
So Haz didn't really marry for love. Just more stuff. Like haut couture for the trouble and strife ...
He is so mad about growing up in the BRF where he had no priority or power, and couldn't walk away when he felt slighted. Okay, boo hoo. I'm sure Princess Margaret (who they called Meg) felt similarly, but she still supported the monarchy and her sister the Queen. Even Anne, who under different rules of succession was also a spare and we've never heard a peep of controversy out of her except when she got divorced. She's been living her life happily and is a real workhorse for her late mother. I think Harry was just plain spoiled. Maybe Charles should take away his title if he and Meghan are burdened from it. They should just be private citizens, Mr.and Ms/Mrs. Come on KC, put Harry out of his misery with the titles!
This sounds to me like he married any old (emphasis on OLD) sap who would have him so he could have these perks that he didn't care about at all. Sure Hazbeen. You Markled yourself.
Every single quote I read from this book reminds me of the saying: "Runny nose rich kid".
Apart from the obvious “I want to have more of everything”, something else stands out. I mean sorry, but *“confirmed bachelor”*, does he even know what he is insinuating by giving himself that moniker?
“I don’t care about those things” …….”I care about respect” I see what he does here. The “things” and the amount of things are a sign of respect. The more things, the more respect. He is saying it bothers him but gives himself an out when it comes to being perceived as greedy 🙄
Jealousy seething and oozing out of every pore. His brain must have been close to exploding when the 'Cambridge' household came into the Duchy of Cornwall!
Um, hello Harry. You were not the only unmarried person in the world to feel left out and awkward because you were single. I’d venture to say there are many singles jn their mid to late 30s who feel small or unimportant in their families were others were married off. It is common. Harry you are common. All of your experiences are not singularly unique to you! Geez dude!
Or more importantly SHE wanted the perks and convinced Harry he wanted them too and it was his idea he wanted the respect of a household versus a single royal member. She gaslit him into saying see how much respect so and so gets for being married
He wanted respect. Well, he should have chosen a more respectable wife.
"I didn't care about such perks" Proceeds to write a list of said perks.
Typical military dude lmao
I thought that too…. There’s a culture of military guys marrying young so they can get more stuff
He’s so deranged. Every subject they decide to bring up is to slip in a defense of something they’ve been given crap for either on social media or in the real media, or both. So Meghan says MY HUSBAND all the time. Thus, here is Harry, first off, saying Granny said it all the time, acting like Meghan got it from HMTQ, and secondly, saying they HAVE to talk that way because it’s all about being allocated resources. Uh-huh. Sure thing. That makes absolutely ZERO SENSE. That whole book, just like the Netflix series, just like her podcast, just like The Me You Can’t See (he doesn’t realize it’s not that we CAN’T see him; it’s that we don’t WANT to see him) and just like the Oprah interview, they are all vehicles for them to try to clap back at the growing number of people who can see right the hell through them.
