"Recollections may vary" - exploring Harry and Meghan's withdrawal from Royal family part 2 of 2
Today marks the paperback release of “Spare” - the tell all biography written by the Duke of Sussex.
It’s now been some years since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced their decision to step back as working members of the Royal family. Now that the dust - to at least some extent - has settled - it’s possible to review that decision, and the controversies that followed with an open mind and a level head. In this two-part podcast, this is what we have tried to do.
In part 2 we discuss:
• The Netflix series and the background (as far as we understand it) of the deal
• The treatment of the Duchess of Sussex in aspects of the UK media and how this compares with the way the Princess of Wales i...

Henry VII did become King. But few could have predicted that at his birth. Is arguing that his mother did, the best way of understanding the evidence?

Although the fact that they have constitutional agreements, they are linked. Him alone, It will not work. So being King of England is the foundation of being the King of any Commonwealth country.

    I had hoped that this podcas would’ve been a little more unbiased than it seemed to come across. At the end of the day it still sounds like Harry and Meghan are being blamed for making a decision that was safe for their family. He is the second son he didn’t have the same obligations as William if he felt that this was the right thing to do for him and his family Then so be it. They couldn’t win! Either they couldn’t take money from the royal family if they weren’t working for them, but then they were looked down at for making their own money. I’m sure there were shortcomings on both sides. I just wish there would’ve been a little bit more on this podcast about where the Royal family or the firm failed Harry and Meghan as well.

      I don’t think we accused them of “trashing the Royal family” but I appreciate there’s sometimes a difference between how things are intended and how they come across. They do have every right to tell their story. In this case, they chose to earn considerable sums of money through telling it. I don’t think that’s wrong, but it is clearly going to invite scrutiny. However, it is possible to share your story without telling the world that your father does embarrassing exercises in his underwear. Or without saying that your brother no longer resembles your deceased mother. I think it is comments like this that will make rebuilding trust difficult.

      @@royalhistorygeeks6034 Thank you. To put a slightly different perspective on the situation, it was the Royal Family who created the distrust in the first place, which culminated in the Sussexes having to flee Britain for their lives. Charles could have ended the persecution had he chosen to do so. Indeed, there is some question about the extent to which he might have been involved, as Thomas Markle disclosed on Australia’s News9 that he was was not sick at all at the time of his daughter’s wedding, that he only pretended to be sick in order to “mess up” the occasion, and that the Royal Family “owed” him. The trust was broken by the Windsors. It is therefore incumbent on them, not on Harry, to repair the trust, assuming that Harry wants anything to do with that treacherous nest of vipers.

    MB was so obsessed with her son becoming king that she extended the War of the Roses instead of accepting peace under Richard's rule. She allied with Buckingham, she made an alliance with Elizabeth Woodville and she helped make it possible for her son to invade England, thus inciting another battle. If she did this don't think she couldn't have gotten access into the tower. Of course she wouldn't have personally killed them. And back then no one believed a woman was capable of anything. We don't know what happened but she is definitely a suspect. Things definitely worked out in her favor by causing people to suspect Richard, thus backing her son. Elizabeth Woodville would have never agreed to the marriage had she not thought her sons were dead so another point for Margaret. Her son legitimized his wife to strengthen his claim and in doing so, the princes had to be out of the picture or he would have had no claim. I believe M Beaufort, Richard and Buckingham are all three viable suspects. It's only my opinion but this video gave no strong evidence of her innocence. She was one obsessed woman with enough money and influence to make her dangerous.

    Thomas More got his account of the confessions of Tyrell and Dighton from John Morton. Morton was a known and sworn enemy of Richard. Morton was also More's mentor; he had lived with Morton for several years when he was young. No copies of these confessions exist. Dighton was allowed to roam free for the rest of his life - odd for someone who had committed regicide. Also, Henry Vll never made any proclamation of these confessions which would have cleared up the mystery and secured his throne. In addition, the charge for Tyrell's execution was 'aiding Edmund de la Pole'. No mention was made of his conspiring to assassinate the young king and his brother, a royal prince. More never completed or published his 'History' during his lifetime. Instead, his nephew completed it, edited it, and rewrote portions of what More had written.

    I think part of the explanation as to why her extravagance was not really questioned was that it was collective gratitude of the country for her personal contribution to the war effort in maintaining morale but perhaps more importantly her obvious support and back-up of the King during this period without which he wouldn't have been so effective. To illustrate his commitment please read accounts of the King's gruelling and dangerous visits to the theatre of war in North Africa and Malta in 1943 after the victory at El Alamein.

      I couldn't agree with you more.The Queen Mother was beloved by the people.To my eyes she was the power behind the throne. Thank God for her. I am sure she had faults as we all do. Strong willed and loyal she loved her country and the people.

    I forget who said it but she was once described as "a marshmallow made on a welding machine." Great interview, thank you!

    It's an extremely perverse hypothesis. We know Richard killed their maternal uncle, their half brother, and Hastings in what looks like a planned coup. It is rational to assume he did it. The only other feasible candidate is Buckingham, I feel, and even that's an outlier.

    We can infer she didn't enjoy sex with him for she asked in a a preserved book of hours or some such if it was sinful to dislike your marital duty. In her later translation of Thomas a Kempis, she mentioned 'lecherye' as something that was 'filthy' and best outgrown. It is possible she felt differently about him after his death though. As you say, even at the time he was considered a disgrace. But we do hear about trauma bonding.
