I had a boyfriend who had a rough childhood. He told me all about it at the beginning of our relationship. Then he would randomly bring it up again. I soon realized it wasn't random. He would bring it up whenever he wasn't getting his way. It was simply a way to manipulate me into getting his own way. Fortunately, I came to this realization fairly quickly and ended the relationship.
HArry didn't have a 'rough' childhood. He was a pampered brat who was spoilt. Charles was very affectionate and we often saw the boys draped over him in loving ways. But JHarry continues to use his mother..such as the bullshyte car chase stunt he pulled. He got on the front pages of the Press he keeps taking aim at...its cringeworthy bs.
I think it sounds like Charles was a very kind loving man and he must be hurt so badly by Harry's cruel treatment of him.. Charles a kind man who when all the gossip of the day pointed to the possibilities that Harry was in fact not even his son - still took the young lad to his heart and sat with him each night until he fell asleep and watched over him and saw that he was safe at all times . Charles is always described as being a kind, thoughtful and caring man and Harry in his book has conveyed that (and yet he has made millions trashing his father) - Harry's book also highlights just how out of control, dimwitted and cruel the young boy Harry was and still is - it also highlights how he was never held to account for his cruel dangerous actions and how he used his "Mummy" and his version of the truth even as a child to get away with everything he did. I think he is a very dangerous and deluded individual.
He’s probably worried. Seeing someone you love embark on a destructive path makes your heart hurt for the future you know it will bring, even if you are the target of some of the destructiveness.
Meghan has taken Mummy’s place. He’s put M up on a pedestal just like Mummy. M encourages his cruel thoughts & actions, offers no checks & balances just like his Mummy and he is blind as a bat to it. God help their victims. I really fear for those people. Carnage will be left in their wake. 🇺🇸
1. You can't hide a "whole teacup" of anything in a single serving of pudding. 2. You can't add a "whole teacup" of anything to a single-serving bowl that's already occupied with a serving of pudding. 3. You can't hide bright red Tabasco sauce in bread-and-butter pudding unless you carefully insert it under the top, making sure that it appears undisturbed. It's not a matter of just "adding" it. Did Harry disassemble and reassemble Marco's pudding? 4. How did Harry know which pudding would be served to Marco? I call bollocks on the whole hot sauce anecdote. It's not "over the top" -- it's impossible.
It would take a very long time and a lot of effort to shake out a cupful of Tabasco and it would have to ha e been an extra large bottle. Most people buy the 60ml bottle .
My father never tucked me into bed, or even told me he loved me. I used to be beaten with a razor strop and verbally abused. I fortunately turned out (with a lot of effort) to become a well adjusted adult even though being raised in an abusive home. I have a married daughter and a granddaughter whom I let know daily how much I love them. Harry quit playing a victim
@@coffeeperson1461 Harry complains about his father not being kind and therefore he is seeing himself as a victim, whereas the book and photos show he is wrong. Harry seems to have had long-standing behavioural problems
@@laura309 Just because you had a father who was at times distant does not mean you have no fond memories at all. He mostly talks fondly of his family it's the press who say he is playing victim
@@coffeeperson1461 What you are saying just isn't true. He speaks badly of his whole family except his mother. Who does he speak highly of? The Queen and Prince Phillip were very stressed about the racism claims which Harry said wasn't true, but waited two years to do that. Meghan also criticizes all of her family except her mother. Not nice in most people's opinion.
She's crawling all over the Waagh! Necklace is a femanine expression. Mommys cream on his Frozen Todger!😂😂 The insane '25 kills and Chess Pieces' comments will come to bite his ass, as 'they' want it hung out to dry!
OMG did you truly know Meghan personally to pass an evil remark like that ? I hope you did … Cos if you did not live or know her personally That is truly a very very nasty person Why hate her so much ? It’s not fair Unless you did 😂
I haven’t read Prince Harry’s book nor do I have any intention of doing so. The fact that you’ve taken the time out of your life to read it twice is truly commendable and you have my thanks.
Charles was a good father. There are plenty of photographic and video evidences to show that he was a good, hands on father. The boys have even shared anecdotes of their happy times with their father. May be Charles was not the kind of father Harry wanted him to be. I mean, most of us wished that our parents were a lil different, don't we?
I’m sure Harry’s children will wish they had a different father when they grow up. Someone who lies, takes drugs and does his best to upset his family, hardly brilliant father material
Thats the thing! Harry seems to think he's uniquely alone in his struggling. His dad wasn't warm enough for his liking. Many people thing this about their fathers (and mothers)! His older brother got an extra sausage and a bigger room. That's common among all families older and younger siblings. It's not just an heir and a spare thing. His mom died when he was young and he has to walk behind the coffin. Horrific, yes. However, unfortunately many people have parents that die when they're young. Many kids think "mummy or daddy isn't dead, they're just on vacation or hiding and will come back for me." This is just a common way children process trauma. Harry has built it up in his head that his suffering is leagues different than anyone else's, but it's not. He can join us back in reality and really heal if he wanted to. I'm not saying hes tbe same as you and me - he is a prince, he grew up in castles and wearing ceremonial clothing for photographers. But his suffering is not uniquely royal and he really struggles to see it.
More affection than my dad ever gave. My dad only told me once (during the last months of his life when he was dying of cancer) that he loved me. He didn’t have to say it though because he showed it in other ways. He was ALWAYS there when I needed him and he always provided for his family. Dad was born in 1948, they were raised differently.
I hear you. So sad....took 30 odd years for my Dad to say "I love you"...I was stunned... All those years of basically ignoring me. Never a kind word, nothing...
My father was born in 1936. He was fun, clever, unpredictable. He gave me standards, my love of music and art. He once told me he loved me. As he lay dying we were alone, he held my hand and said “I’m glad you’re here” we talked of serious stuff and rubbish. I remembered how he used to tickle my face with his eyelashes. I was 30 then, 61 now, a year later I found myself dialling his number because I needed his advice. I still find comfort in the smell of whiskey and cigarettes from when he came to say good night when I was small. My mother, always said he was a good dad, as Princess Diana said of the King. I have no other example, but King Charles and my dad sound very similar, and having met our King several times I struggle with the hatred aimed at him from his deluded, sick youngest son.
Neither of my parents ever said they loved me,and certainly never kissed me, other little girls parents were the same,we knew we were loved and very lucky. We were brought up not to cry or whinge,when we hurt ourselves, I think that was a good thing ,to encourage facing unpleasant events.
@@laurielovett8849 We weren’t allowed to cry either, not even when he was sick. Just once we cried together because it was during COVID and he had to go through it all alone in the hospital. I broke down on the phone and he cried too. That’s when I finally understood why he didn’t like us crying in front of him. My dad was a jokester, one of the funniest people I’ve ever known. However, he was 6’4 and in his day he was a brawler. Police knew you better send more than one car for him, when angry, look out.
Your review and commentary on that book was one of the best! Your examples of how King Charles actually did show tenderness and affection to the young Harry were the best examples of how much creative license was taken in the writing and promoting of this imaginary biographer and Harry's "truth". Thank you! 👋
This traitor younger son of the king has always been a nasty horrible child and now is a nasty horrible so called to poor excuse for a human being. He has spoilt the memory and legacy of his mother.
@@thevintageread Yes, me too. I now think the opposite probably happened to Harry in that they tried to cover up for him with the press. Trouble is he seems very fixated with the British press. I don’t see how they’re any different to lots of other press. At least since Diana’s passing there are more reasonable protocols in place.
Excellent review of the book. Short, sweet and to the point. He doesn’t know what suffering is. He grew up privileged and sheltered. Yes I believe he has ADHD but that’s not an excuse for bad behaviour. He clearly doesn’t know how it’s like to be abused by a parent. His normal is heaven compared to what many of us went through. He really needs to move to an island and be a hermit.
ADHD and drug affected brain would be similar. Harry will be using it as an excuse as a vulnerable narcissist (the poor me kind of narc). At almost 40 he wants everyone to think of him as a boy
Even his mother knew he wasn’t the brightest bulb as a child and he has proven her words to be true. He’s painted his dad as uncaring and that has been proven untrue as photos have shown how much King Charles III loved both his boys.
I read his book ONCE, and by the time I was done, I couldn't stand the jerk! Ugh, it makes my blood boil just listening to it here. He has some nerve to think that his family owes him an apology when it's the other way around. I wish he'd disappear. He'd do the world a favor! Now he's using his platform to recommend drugs to all! Please make this guy go away!
Gosh if that is How Charles handled bedtime.. even calling Harry ‘Darling boy’. Well… that actually is very telling. Thank you for sharing this. I haven’t the wherewithal to read Harry’s autobiography.
You read it twice? I gave up after 50 pages. I agree with you that he twists everything his father did. He was obvious loved, but he refuses to see it. It’s one of the reasons I gave up on the book.
He still twists everything, he looks for a negative in everything except his mother, he knows how much his mother was loved and he plays on it, hating his father so he can play on the people who loved his mother he sees none of his mother's faults ever
I’m with you. I started reading it but so nauseating, over the top exaggerated “poor me”. I keep picking up another book instead. Maybe someday I will be able to go on with this book full of rubbish!
First time I have come across your channel and I loved your video! You read the book TWICE??? Omg you deserve a medal! Poor Writtle Hawwry, his brain is completely addled from decades of drug and alcohol abuse. I watched them grow up, forget what happened between his parents, those boys were surrounded with love. You could see how much Charles loved his boys, he might not have been as exuberant as Diana but in so many photos and videos you see Charles hugging him, holding his hand, smiling and laughing with him. Writtle Hawwry needs to go into rehab and get a good therapist rather than the ones he is using. what professional therapist does a pay for view, online session with a patient then after an hour diagnoses him with ADHD??? I would love to hear your views on him rubbing his 'frozen todger' with the hand cream his mother used to use whilst thinking of her. That is one sick mind.
He talks in opposites later on in life too. He says that while staying at Tyler Perry's house in LA, he would get paranoid that a pap or someone was outside, or inside, watching, so he would check all the doors and windows before bed. Then.. he says he would also - go outside while Meghan and Archie slept, and smoke a doobie! Which is it Harry? Are you afraid of intruders or are you just chillaxing with a nice blunt looking at the stars and thinking of Africa? Those are actual things he said!
There's been quite a few photos recently that show Charles was cut out of many photos so that only Diana looked like the loving mother. Couple I've seen, the famous school sports day race for the "mums", there was actually a "Dad's race" as well and Charles was in it. The huge hugs from Diana when they returned from a trip, literally Charles was just behind her and did the same. Diana manipulated the press to an enormous degree. Half the reason she got in such a mess was because she believed she could control the narrative and the British press. Unfortunately she was too stupid to realise other countries exist (even when visiting them) and they have their own press.
@@excession3076 When I started reading your comment I thought straight away about the film with Charles and Diana boarding Britannia and Diana throwing her arms open to hug William then Harry. You couldnt see Charles at all when she was hugging the boys. Years later the whole film was shown on something or other (I cant remember what it was) and that showed Charles giving both boys huge hugs and kissing them, something was wasnt known for years. It was sad really. I did not know that there had been a dads race when they showed Diana running. What shame that they did that to Charles. Its really uncalled for.
There always photo's of Diana but the photographer's preferred taking her in a photo she was young sexy & they got big bucks for them where as PC was ignored in most cases and the proof of that was the photographer who took the photograph of Diana returning from a trip abroad running and hugging the boys said PC did the same but he didn't bother photographing him. As you can see this happened over & over again People are so easily led don't you think.
@@jessiemacgregor1357 Its so sad. Charles wasnt handsome, he was seen as boring, whilst Diana was stunning. I dont think any of us realised just how beautiful she would become when we saw the engagement photos and films. She was very pretty, but when she matured, she was stunningly beautiful. My brother met her, he was a big, tough rugby player who still doesnt show emotions, but when she shook his hand, he told me he literally melted. He said those eyes pierced your heart. I think he fell a little in love with her in those few short minutes.
In that case the kind passage about Charles is a lie. Therefore Charles was a neglectful father but if you are doing a Piers Morgan that has to be a lie too. If you haven't read the book at all yet still claim it's nothing but dangerous lies and slander than you are doing well
@@coffeeperson1461 But why is Harry now praising Charles, is it a way for him to try and work his way back into the Total family and to be given more money,if so Harry drops even lower in my estination
@@laurielovett8849 He praises him throughout the book. It's the media who would have you believe he is trashing him. His only real issue with Charles is the lack of protection from media gutter press trolls who there is no denying have been hounding him and especially his wife for years
@@coffeeperson1461I'm sorry, but Harry and Meghan court media attention. They said they wanted to escape to have a private life out of the spotlight, and all they've done is constantly get their names into the papers whichever way they can. You're also forgetting that Harry 'spared' his father from a fighter jet attack ... a joke? No, because there's more than a thing of truth behind his remarks.
Have to agree with you. It is too bad that Harry had such an excellent ghost writer. If he hadn't, people might have trashed the book after the first 50 pages or so. I am only 2/3 of the way through, but have thought over and over again...Harry was not abused or even neglected. Spoiled or in need of some serious counselling, yes. There is more than one area in the book where he has endangered people and one where he openly admits being responsible for the death of two soldiers. His response? He had to keep busy so he would not think about the unthinkable...being removed again from the battlefield for the protection of others. He did himself no favors with this book.
Loved this video & agree with everything you said. The book was filled with so many contradictions, inaccuracies, and holes on almost every page. Please do more as I like your perspective and refreshing Australian 'tell it like it is' style.
Let’s say that I loved my father and he was a very hard working man but a sick alcoholic. He never tucked me in and said good night. Not once. Harry has had such a wonderful and privileged life and he doesn’t appreciate it
I feel sorry for Harry. I am afraid he will never grow as a human until he has consequences for his actions. Until he cares for others more than himself. Has Meghan tricked him? Yes. But I am afraid their personalities are more alike than not. He is ignorant, so was easily lead astray. But being ignorant isn't his problem. Ignorance mixed with self centeredness and lack of humble character where he will not listen to the advice of others. Well, this has Harry marrying a deceitful woman and writing a book called Spare for the world to see his complete and utter shallowness as a human being.
@carrie Henry I don't feel sorry for Harry at all! The way he has targeted others is not the actions of an ignorant man! He is not a boy anymore but a nasty vindictive man who arrogantly believes is entitled to more and more and more. He uses his mother's memory for his own gain. I think he is despicable!
My son was scared of the dark and his father insisted on all.lights off and door closed. He never read stories or called them darling. Needless to say we are divorced and he doesn't bother to see his children. Harry is bloody lucky.
Your thoughts are spot on!! Harry: the lights are on, but no body's home. What strikes me also, is that the couple from Montecito talk incessantly about compassion. No parent is perfect- can HE not forgive his Dad for being human and be the one to show compassion. (Sounds to ME like his dad was pretty good.)
My goodness, you read it TWICE!! Your analysis was very good and showed just how disturbed and disturbing Harry’s mental health is. It was really tragic for him to lose his mother at such a young age , but he’s nearly 40 in the meantime. At some stage one has to take responsibility for one’s own life. He seemed to be on a good path as he, William and Catherine began their campaign for mental health. Unfortunately Megan is taking him down a long dark tunnel. He’s not the brightest candle on the cake
His father, by the admission of British press now, suffered hell thanks to the papers helping her demonise him. They know all about her men friends being secreted into the palace to her hut kept it quiet. They thought if everyone knew what she was like the interest in her would fade and their newspaper sales drop.
What came to my mind when Harry said 'oh my father never showed me affection' was a story of an ex Amish lady who said that she grew up with her parents never saying I love you or being overly affectionate, but she knew without a shadow of a doubt that they loved her, as they showed that they did in all that they did.... Charles has shown him affection... and even if he didn't hug him as much as Harry wanted, I am sure that he would have shown his love for him..
This is my first time on your channel. Love your commentary and your take on these 400 pages of contradictions and lies. This video gave me my first giggle of the day. I subscribed straight away. Loved this video, thank you!
@@thevintageread You're very welcome! I can't wait to see your next video. In fact, I just noticed that you have a new one uploaded, which I'm looking forward to watching. 🥰 I can't wait.
Oh my goodness.. I burst out laughing so hard when you said, "I'm sorry Harry, that just makes you an idiot!" Priceless🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just now found your channel!!! You are amazing👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 So spot on!!! Greetings from TEXAS🇺🇸 Holy moly...yes that lion/leopard whatever was definitely a stretch..Harry is desperately looking for his mummy to rise from the dead to save him, but heading into danger is the last thing a parent wants or does for their children...it would be really sad if Harry unconsciously harbors a death wish, to be reunited with his mum, but he is seriously mental. 🌟Oh have I got a t-shirt slogan for you!!!!!!!
I can never bring myself to buy or read this book so I appreciate your doing it for me. Sounds like a lot of bollocks to me. He sadly but definitely has a lot of mental health issues to deal with and his marriage and break with his family are proof of that. My father wasn't even around when I was a child, didn't meet him til I was almost 18 and then he waltzed back in and acted like he hadn't abandoned us all. Very few people get the time and attention they would have liked , parents are after all people too and have their own cares and responsibilities beyond children. Harrys interpretation of events just makes him come off as immature, self aggrandizing and a liar.
What does he think most kids family lives are like, Most have parents who have to work long hours just to pay the bills. My dad worked two jobs for alot of my childhood so I didn't see him much, But he provided the best he could and I'm thankful for everything he did.
What the book tells is how much stress and chaos he brought to his family his whole life. And they just kept trying to help him. And the last 3 years he trashed them for it.
As I have no plans on reading his book and yet curious of it's content, I really appreciate what you highlight. The sensational stuff is all over the place. Your take offers a real glimpse at his true character.
Great video - I haven't read the book and have heard some of the stories like others, but your examples of Harry's foolishness are a refreshing watch. Thank you for highlighting these. 🤩
Even though she was friends with Princess Eugenie, his first cousin, somehow she didn't know who Prince Harry was? On the other hand, it is consistent with the fact she mistook Eugenie's father for the Queen's bagman. In the book, she asks Harry about the servant carrying the Queen's purse, and Harry says, "That was her second son, Andrew." (Odd that he didn't say, "My Uncle Andrew, but OK..." But then again, that story is odd, too -- if she innocently believed Prince Andrew to be a servant, than why, later, would she ask questions about him?
@@VesnaVK If that really happened like Harry said, then she was playing him big time because she knew exactly what Charles' brothers looked like. If Harry believed she was so unaware of the royal family, his IQ is at the simpleton level.
I did enjoy hearing your take on Spare and I agree with you. Even for his father to call him, "Darling boy," shows he was very loving and affectionate. Had my father ever been as kind to me as then Prince Charles was to Harry I would have treasured those memories forever. Harry's mind has been poisoned against his family by his narcissistic wife who had an agenda to get him away from them so she could have total control over him.
Wow, he has serious issues including a bad case of arrested development but that still doesn't excuse him trashing his paternal family every chance he gets.
I haven’t read Spare but from what you tell us here, I would hazard a guess his constant use of “mummy” is the victim playing to an American audience that continues to adore her. Great review and I look forward to more so have subscribed!
Jackie A I think you’re right. He’s playing on the emotions of the diehard Diana fans hoping to spark sympathy as the poor baby boy that lost his mummy and can’t move forward in his life. He had help and money at his disposal if he truly wanted help with his mental issues and drug abuse.
Harry is a grown man who is still looking for someone to say its going to be alright..He just refuses to grow up and accept responsibility for all of his actions He'd rather keep blaming his Dad or Brother,anyone but Harry..Hes always had someone there for him to shelter and protect him..how sad! It wasn't me ..Harry
He has used the Leopard story for a lion story in a documentary he made about his trip to Botswana. I've heard this before. Every animal he sees is his Mother saying all will be well. Nothing is well with Harry. Sigh!!!
“He never forgot” this is an amazing dad! Someone who truely loved his son Harry. Harry has denigrated those who love him. I am unconsolably sad and angry with him…
So amazed to hear that about Charles! His own upbringing sounds rather emotionless, but how sweet he sounds. And Harry said this! And yet he decries his father for not caring. His Harry's mind split into two?
Excellent! Haven’t heard this part of the book. Ironically, although I despise H writing a book trashing his family, it is the gift that keeps on giving! It is good to hear the contradictions being highlighted. What was the ghost writer thinking? I hope the Royal family feel less upset when they realise much of what is written is farcical and H is hastening his and M’s downfall by publishing such nonsense.
Absolutely brilliant review! Yes it is a total stretch for Harry to say the leopard was his mummy! Total bonkers! Prince Harry lives in a bipolar type fantasy world!
Often, when people lose a loved one ,they say that a rainbow, a butterfly or a feather appears to them as a sign from their nearest and dearest. This is definitely the first time I have heard someone use a leopard !!
Just come across your channel. Thank you, this book is one I don't think I could stomach to read. Thank you enjoyed listening to your thoughts and left wanting to hear more!
So ridiculous! My father never gave me a hug. When we children came home from a holiday, he would give us a hand. Also my mother seldom hugged us. But I never thought, this had disturbed us.
How about the section in Part 2 (Chapter 7 I think) where he tracks and threatens his father's car with a military aircraft which then blows up something else 'on his orders'. I'm astonished that hasn't hit headlines everywhere.
I think you are marvelous to have read the book not once but twice. The book presents as the work of a disturbed person. He contradicts himself and wants to be perceived as a brave, emotionally intelligent person but is unaware he is presenting as deceitful and vindictive. Quite sad in many ways. I think one of the most difficult stories in the book is the one about his use of Elizabeth Arden cream to remember his mother by. I thought if anything was frostbitten it risked turning black and dropping off. The book is fantasy and should be in the section along with other fantasy authors.
First time on your channel. What a brilliant format. Love the concept and the way you cut through the baloney and say it like it is. Hope there are many more on Harry’s Spare as I’m becoming weary listening to Neil Sean and Lady C.
Comment Sense is not very Common. You are right there are hundreds of mean , thoughtless, rude and abrasive acts by Harry in the book. He just does not seem to be aware of how he is seen or care if he is ruthless..... keep up the good work.
To hear of the touching and caring way Charles parented Harry in this book exerpt and him making out his father was not affectionate towards him is nothing short of SHAMEFUL, it truly is. H is DESPICABLE.
I’ve just stumbled upon your channel. Gave you a new sub. Great video! Everyone else does the same exact stories because they pick out the most outrageous parts to review. I love that you’re looking at the most ridiculous smaller stuff that no one talks about. I read the tiresome book myself and it’s nice to know that I wasn’t the only one thinking “wtf!?”, “he can’t be serious!” and “is anyone else seeing this nonsense?!” the entire time I was reading. Lol!
I have read the book also and I find that the mood of the book paints an entirely different picture than Harry in his interviews! I suppose the acrimony can only come through Harry! I find the book “Spare” describes a Harry that had a wonderful childhood! Yes, we all have traumatic things to deal with, but no where does the book portray what Harry is trying to prove!
Haven’t read the book and don’t want to. You hit the nail on the head in that review. When I look at Harry I see a “jealous, vindictive child” that wants to be #1. He is narcissistic and jealous of Prince William. I feel sorry for him…he is a miserable young man. 🙏😔
Growing up we just put ourselves to bed. My mom was often working and my older brother was left in charge. I know my mom loved me ❤. Also, the leopard story is crazy! Maybe it was just a big cat going by - nothing to do with “mummy”. He’s such an idiot !!! 😤
I’ve just discovered your channel and oh what a gem it is. Your calm voice and accent is so pleasing to the ear . I couldn’t bring myself to buy the book but feel you’ve done a great job for me, sparing me the odious fast. I’ve long thought Harry was actually not a very nice person, spoilt and protected by his parents, who righted his many wrongs for him as they knew he wasn’t very bright. I think he has a thoroughly mean and cruel streak, especially when he doesn’t get his way. I’m looking forward to following you now.
This is one of the most disturbing books I've ever come across in my life. It should come with an age restriction imo. The amount of vitreol and abuse he spews without any accountability is maddening! From the ghostwriter to the publisher and every enabler who's making money out of this is infuriating!
I'm not a fan of the British royal family after years of seeing their lack of moral standards, so I come at this stuff with an open mind, like maybe Harry suffers severe PTSD from his mother's death. So I really appreciate your clips from the book, which I haven't read. I totally agree the first shows a lot of affection from his father, almost an unusual amount a lot of kids don't get. After following live African wildlife webcams, absolutely yes, it's completely stupid to move toward the leopard, and a "sign" from his deceased mother? That doesn't even make sense. I think of "signs" more like a white dove glowing in the sunshine. Like he's fishing for sympathy of how "bad" he has it, and the more of a reason for me not to be interested in his book.
I think it's unfair to generalise about royal families lack of moral standards There are many without scandals Media focuses on scandals which influences our view

The more Harry shares the more sympathy I have for his family.
The more he shoots his gob off the less we like him :-)
Yesss, indeed.
I had a boyfriend who had a rough childhood. He told me all about it at the beginning of our relationship. Then he would randomly bring it up again. I soon realized it wasn't random. He would bring it up whenever he wasn't getting his way. It was simply a way to manipulate me into getting his own way. Fortunately, I came to this realization fairly quickly and ended the relationship.
HArry didn't have a 'rough' childhood. He was a pampered brat who was spoilt. Charles was very affectionate and we often saw the boys draped over him in loving ways. But JHarry continues to use his mother..such as the bullshyte car chase stunt he pulled. He got on the front pages of the Press he keeps taking aim at...its cringeworthy bs.
Cathy, you were wise to catch on and end the relationship. That’s a classic form of manipulation and often a precursor to abuse. Good for you!
I always tell women if a man leads with telling you about all his woes and traumas. RUN!. This applies to women to .
Totally true. King Charles was a loving Dad. Harry is damn nuts
Qanon believes Diana is alive..
I'll just leave that there and hey from Tassie...you rock!
And mean 😮
I think it sounds like Charles was a very kind loving man and he must be hurt so badly by Harry's cruel treatment of him.. Charles a kind man who when all the gossip of the day pointed to the possibilities that Harry was in fact not even his son - still took the young lad to his heart and sat with him each night until he fell asleep and watched over him and saw that he was safe at all times . Charles is always described as being a kind, thoughtful and caring man and Harry in his book has conveyed that (and yet he has made millions trashing his father) - Harry's book also highlights just how out of control, dimwitted and cruel the young boy Harry was and still is - it also highlights how he was never held to account for his cruel dangerous actions and how he used his "Mummy" and his version of the truth even as a child to get away with everything he did. I think he is a very dangerous and deluded individual.
He’s probably worried. Seeing someone you love embark on a destructive path makes your heart hurt for the future you know it will bring, even if you are the target of some of the destructiveness.
Charles and Thomas Markle, both doting fathers...
And Harry still uses his mother for sympathy, but is now using her for merching as well, egged on by Meghan.
Meghan has taken Mummy’s place. He’s put M up on a pedestal
just like Mummy. M encourages his cruel thoughts & actions, offers no checks & balances just like his Mummy and he is blind as a bat to it. God help their victims.
I really fear for those people. Carnage will be left in their wake.

2. You can't add a "whole teacup" of anything to a single-serving bowl that's already occupied with a serving of pudding.
3. You can't hide bright red Tabasco sauce in bread-and-butter pudding unless you carefully insert it under the top, making sure that it appears undisturbed. It's not a matter of just "adding" it. Did Harry disassemble and reassemble Marco's pudding?
4. How did Harry know which pudding would be served to Marco?
I call bollocks on the whole hot sauce anecdote. It's not "over the top" -- it's impossible.
It would take a very long time and a lot of effort to shake out a cupful of Tabasco and it would have to ha e been an extra large bottle. Most people buy the 60ml bottle

My father never tucked me into bed, or even told me he loved me. I used to be beaten with a razor strop and verbally abused. I fortunately turned out (with a lot of effort) to become a well adjusted adult even though being raised in an abusive home. I have a married daughter and a granddaughter whom I let know daily how much I love them. Harry quit playing a victim
How is he playing victim? She just read a passage about how he used to kindly tuck him in at night
@@coffeeperson1461 Harry complains about his father not being kind and therefore he is seeing himself as a victim, whereas the book and photos show he is wrong. Harry seems to have had long-standing behavioural problems
God bless you and your family.
@@laura309 Just because you had a father who was at times distant does not mean you have no fond memories at all. He mostly talks fondly of his family it's the press who say he is playing victim
@@coffeeperson1461 What you are saying just isn't true. He speaks badly of his whole family except his mother. Who does he speak highly of? The Queen and Prince Phillip were very stressed about the racism claims which Harry said wasn't true, but waited two years to do that. Meghan also criticizes all of her family except her mother. Not nice in most people's opinion.
What I hear is that Harry is not mischievous, but is rather vindictive and mean-spirited. I think he's unwell and is obsessed with his mother.
And now obsessed with his narcissist wife 🤮
So sad to have to agree with you after these last few months.
To write about his frost-bitten dong and putting moisturizing cream on it while reminiscing about his mother is cringe worthy
@@doriandizon9123 And frost-bite doesn't work that way. The effect is immediate, not later on.
No kidding!
You deserve a Medal for reading it Twice ☺️👍
Even once 😂

Going over and above the call of duty .... maybe even a proxy V.C for unimaginable assault on the senses !!!!!
Agreed🤢she did what most of us could not🤣
Children are always waiting for a ‘sorry’… and parents are always waiting for a ‘thank you!’
Brilliant
I am a bit overwhelmed. Until now I never imagined a father could be so tender and loving as Harry describes King Charles.
A lot of Harry’s book sounds like it was written by Megan.
Maybe!
She's crawling all over the Waagh!
Necklace is a femanine expression. Mommys cream on his Frozen Todger!😂😂 The insane '25 kills and Chess Pieces' comments will come to bite his ass, as 'they' want it hung out to dry!
I am sure Meghan had a lot to do with the book,
OMG did you truly know Meghan personally to pass an evil remark like that ?
I hope you did …
Cos if you did not live or know her personally
That is truly a very very nasty person
Why hate her so much ?
It’s not fair
Unless you did 😂
@@onlooker5439the way she actually speaks in interviews matches the wording and flow that the book has.
I haven’t read Prince Harry’s book nor do I have any intention of doing so. The fact that you’ve taken the time out of your life to read it twice is truly commendable and you have my thanks.
You have my sympathy
I will never put one penny into those people's coffers...not one dime.
I have a WAAAAGH t-shirt from the Royal Rogue 😂😂😂

Spot on comments. This man needs help asap
Charles was a good father. There are plenty of photographic and video evidences to show that he was a good, hands on father. The boys have even shared anecdotes of their happy times with their father. May be Charles was not the kind of father Harry wanted him to be. I mean, most of us wished that our parents were a lil different, don't we?
Diana acknowledged that Charles was a good father, so if Mummy says it…………it must be true.
I’m sure Harry’s children will wish they had a different father when they grow up.
Someone who lies, takes drugs and does his best to upset his family, hardly brilliant father material
Thats the thing! Harry seems to think he's uniquely alone in his struggling. His dad wasn't warm enough for his liking. Many people thing this about their fathers (and mothers)!
His older brother got an extra sausage and a bigger room. That's common among all families older and younger siblings. It's not just an heir and a spare thing.
His mom died when he was young and he has to walk behind the coffin. Horrific, yes. However, unfortunately many people have parents that die when they're young. Many kids think "mummy or daddy isn't dead, they're just on vacation or hiding and will come back for me." This is just a common way children process trauma.
Harry has built it up in his head that his suffering is leagues different than anyone else's, but it's not. He can join us back in reality and really heal if he wanted to.
I'm not saying hes tbe same as you and me - he is a prince, he grew up in castles and wearing ceremonial clothing for photographers. But his suffering is not uniquely royal and he really struggles to see it.
Yes mostly the ones with his publicity loving mother ffs
@Martha Lee oh please... you sound like you know the family well
Sounds like a loving father to me. I must say that you are a real trooper to have read this book twice.
I was thinking the same thing
More affection than my dad ever gave. My dad only told me once (during the last months of his life when he was dying of cancer) that he loved me. He didn’t have to say it though because he showed it in other ways. He was ALWAYS there when I needed him and he always provided for his family. Dad was born in 1948, they were raised differently.
I hear you. So sad....took 30 odd years for my Dad to say "I love you"...I was stunned... All those years of basically ignoring me. Never a kind word, nothing...
My father was born in 1936. He was fun, clever, unpredictable. He gave me standards, my love of music and art. He once told me he loved me. As he lay dying we were alone, he held my hand and said “I’m glad you’re here” we talked of serious stuff and rubbish. I remembered how he used to tickle my face with his eyelashes. I was 30 then, 61 now, a year later I found myself dialling his number because I needed his advice. I still find comfort in the smell of whiskey and cigarettes from when he came to say good night when I was small.
My mother, always said he was a good dad, as Princess Diana said of the King. I have no other example, but King Charles and my dad sound very similar, and having met our King several times I struggle with the hatred aimed at him from his deluded, sick youngest son.
Neither of my parents ever said they loved me,and certainly never kissed me, other little girls parents were the same,we knew we were loved and very lucky. We were brought up not to cry or whinge,when we hurt ourselves, I think that was a good thing ,to encourage facing unpleasant events.
@@laurielovett8849
We weren’t allowed to cry either, not even when he was sick. Just once we cried together because it was during COVID and he had to go through it all alone in the hospital. I broke down on the phone and he cried too. That’s when I finally understood why he didn’t like us crying in front
of him. My dad was a jokester, one of the funniest people I’ve ever known. However, he was 6’4 and in his day he was a brawler. Police knew you better send more than one car for him, when angry, look out.
Your review and commentary on that book was one of the best! Your examples of how King Charles actually did show tenderness and affection to the young Harry were the best examples of how much creative license was taken in the writing and promoting of this imaginary biographer and Harry's "truth". Thank you! 👋
Thank you! I feel so sorry for King Charles…
@@thevintageread Agree!
This traitor younger son of the king has always been a nasty horrible child and now is a nasty horrible so called to poor excuse for a human being. He has spoilt the memory and legacy of his mother.
@@thevintageread Yes, me too. I now think the opposite probably happened to Harry in that they tried to cover up for him with the press. Trouble is he seems very fixated with the British press. I don’t see how they’re any different to lots of other press. At least since Diana’s passing there are more reasonable protocols in place.
And still trying to be a good father, while losing the faith of the British public in the process.
Excellent review of the book. Short, sweet and to the point.
He doesn’t know what suffering is. He grew up privileged and sheltered. Yes I believe he has ADHD but that’s not an excuse for bad behaviour.
He clearly doesn’t know how it’s like to be abused by a parent. His normal is heaven compared to what many of us went through.
He really needs to move to an island and be a hermit.
ADHD and drug affected brain would be similar. Harry will be using it as an excuse as a vulnerable narcissist (the poor me kind of narc).
At almost 40 he wants everyone to think of him as a boy
excellent idea...................
replying to The Sofres
Thank you
Another possible childhood/adolescent diagnosis is Oppositional Defiant Disorder. This may transition to Antisocial PD as an adult.
Even his mother knew he wasn’t the brightest bulb as a child and he has proven her words to be true. He’s painted his dad as uncaring and that has been proven untrue as photos have shown how much King Charles III loved both his boys.
I read his book ONCE, and by the time I was done, I couldn't stand the jerk! Ugh, it makes my blood boil just listening to it here. He has some nerve to think that his family owes him an apology when it's the other way around. I wish he'd disappear. He'd do the world a favor! Now he's using his platform to recommend drugs to all! Please make this guy go away!
Gosh if that is How Charles handled bedtime.. even calling Harry ‘Darling boy’. Well… that actually is very telling. Thank you for sharing this. I haven’t the wherewithal to read Harry’s autobiography.
You read it twice? I gave up after 50 pages. I agree with you that he twists everything his father did. He was obvious loved, but he refuses to see it. It’s one of the reasons I gave up on the book.
🤣 Yes I did! I wanted to unearth some of the narrative that wasn’t being reported. I’m a bit of a nerd like that!
He still twists everything, he looks for a negative in everything except his mother, he knows how much his mother was loved and he plays on it, hating his father so he can play on the people who loved his mother he sees none of his mother's faults ever
Couldn’t even get myself to listen to his awful “Gordon Ramsay”voice narrating his drivel fest!So well done to you on reading it TWICE!!!!😂😂😂😂
I’m with you. I started reading it but so nauseating, over the top exaggerated “poor me”. I keep picking up another book instead. Maybe someday I will be able to go on with this book full of rubbish!
No doubt MM told him how unloved he was. Her manipulation of H is all through his book.
First time I have come across your channel and I loved your video! You read the book TWICE??? Omg you deserve a medal! Poor Writtle Hawwry, his brain is completely addled from decades of drug and alcohol abuse. I watched them grow up, forget what happened between his parents, those boys were surrounded with love. You could see how much Charles loved his boys, he might not have been as exuberant as Diana but in so many photos and videos you see Charles hugging him, holding his hand, smiling and laughing with him. Writtle Hawwry needs to go into rehab and get a good therapist rather than the ones he is using. what professional therapist does a pay for view, online session with a patient then after an hour diagnoses him with ADHD??? I would love to hear your views on him rubbing his 'frozen todger' with the hand cream his mother used to use whilst thinking of her. That is one sick mind.
He talks in opposites later on in life too. He says that while staying at Tyler Perry's house in LA, he would get paranoid that a pap or someone was outside, or inside, watching, so he would check all the doors and windows before bed. Then.. he says he would also - go outside while Meghan and Archie slept, and smoke a doobie! Which is it Harry? Are you afraid of intruders or are you just chillaxing with a nice blunt looking at the stars and thinking of Africa? Those are actual things he said!
There's been quite a few photos recently that show Charles was cut out of many photos so that only Diana looked like the loving mother. Couple I've seen, the famous school sports day race for the "mums", there was actually a "Dad's race" as well and Charles was in it.
The huge hugs from Diana when they returned from a trip, literally Charles was just behind her and did the same.
Diana manipulated the press to an enormous degree. Half the reason she got in such a mess was because she believed she could control the narrative and the British press. Unfortunately she was too stupid to realise other countries exist (even when visiting them) and they have their own press.
@@excession3076 When I started reading your comment I thought straight away about the film with Charles and Diana boarding Britannia and Diana throwing her arms open to hug William then Harry. You couldnt see Charles at all when she was hugging the boys. Years later the whole film was shown on something or other (I cant remember what it was) and that showed Charles giving both boys huge hugs and kissing them, something was wasnt known for years. It was sad really. I did not know that there had been a dads race when they showed Diana running. What shame that they did that to Charles. Its really uncalled for.
There always photo's of Diana but the photographer's preferred taking her in a photo she was young sexy & they got big bucks for them where as PC was ignored in most cases and the proof of that was the photographer who took the photograph of Diana returning from a trip abroad running and hugging the boys said PC did the same but he didn't bother photographing him. As you can see this happened over & over again People are so easily led don't you think.
@@jessiemacgregor1357 Its so sad. Charles wasnt handsome, he was seen as boring, whilst Diana was stunning. I dont think any of us realised just how beautiful she would become when we saw the engagement photos and films. She was very pretty, but when she matured, she was stunningly beautiful. My brother met her, he was a big, tough rugby player who still doesnt show emotions, but when she shook his hand, he told me he literally melted. He said those eyes pierced your heart. I think he fell a little in love with her in those few short minutes.
I'm going to do a Piers Morgan "I don't believe a word of it" Harry always tries to make himself a hero.
Yes I understand that comment!
In that case the kind passage about Charles is a lie. Therefore Charles was a neglectful father but if you are doing a Piers Morgan that has to be a lie too. If you haven't read the book at all yet still claim it's nothing but dangerous lies and slander than you are doing well
@@coffeeperson1461 But why is Harry now praising Charles, is it a way for him to try and work his way back into the Total family and to be given more money,if so Harry drops even lower in my estination
@@laurielovett8849 He praises him throughout the book. It's the media who would have you believe he is trashing him. His only real issue with Charles is the lack of protection from media gutter press trolls who there is no denying have been hounding him and especially his wife for years
@@coffeeperson1461I'm sorry, but Harry and Meghan court media attention. They said they wanted to escape to have a private life out of the spotlight, and all they've done is constantly get their names into the papers whichever way they can. You're also forgetting that Harry 'spared' his father from a fighter jet attack ... a joke? No, because there's more than a thing of truth behind his remarks.
Have to agree with you. It is too bad that Harry had such an excellent ghost writer. If he hadn't, people might have trashed the book after the first 50 pages or so. I am only 2/3 of the way through, but have thought over and over again...Harry was not abused or even neglected. Spoiled or in need of some serious counselling, yes. There is more than one area in the book where he has endangered people and one where he openly admits being responsible for the death of two soldiers. His response? He had to keep busy so he would not think about the unthinkable...being removed again from the battlefield for the protection of others. He did himself no favors with this book.
He really has no idea! He was privileged, loved and protected.
Loved this video & agree with everything you said. The book was filled with so many contradictions, inaccuracies, and holes on almost every page. Please do more as I like your perspective and refreshing Australian 'tell it like it is' style.
Thanks! That means a lot.
Let’s say that I loved my father and he was a very hard working man but a sick alcoholic. He never tucked me in and said good night. Not once.
Harry has had such a wonderful and privileged life and he doesn’t appreciate it
Sounds like your Dad got a lot of love from you. You sound like a lovely person.
I feel sorry for Harry. I am afraid he will never grow as a human until he has consequences for his actions. Until he cares for others more than himself. Has Meghan tricked him? Yes. But I am afraid their personalities are more alike than not. He is ignorant, so was easily lead astray. But being ignorant isn't his problem. Ignorance mixed with self centeredness and lack of humble character where he will not listen to the advice of others. Well, this has Harry marrying a deceitful woman and writing a book called Spare for the world to see his complete and utter shallowness as a human being.
I feel sorry for everyone. It’s such a sad situation isn’t it.
@carrie Henry
I don't feel sorry for Harry at all! The way he has targeted others is not the actions of an ignorant man! He is not a boy anymore but a nasty vindictive man who arrogantly believes is entitled to more and more and more. He uses his mother's memory for his own gain. I think he is despicable!
@@thevintageread Nope. I don't see that at all.
Spot on! Except I don’t feel sorry for him. He’s had opportunities and privileges beyond our comprehension but all were wasted on him.
My son was scared of the dark and his father insisted on all.lights off and door closed. He never read stories or called them darling. Needless to say we are divorced and he doesn't bother to see his children. Harry is bloody lucky.
Your thoughts are spot on!! Harry: the lights are on, but no body's home.
What strikes me also, is that the couple from Montecito talk incessantly about compassion. No parent is perfect- can HE not forgive his Dad for being human and be the one to show compassion. (Sounds to ME like his dad was pretty good.)
My goodness, you read it TWICE!! Your analysis was very good and showed just how disturbed and disturbing Harry’s mental health is. It was really tragic for him to lose his mother at such a young age , but he’s nearly 40 in the meantime. At some stage one has to take responsibility for one’s own life. He seemed to be on a good path as he, William and Catherine began their campaign for mental health. Unfortunately Megan is taking him down a long dark tunnel. He’s not the brightest candle on the cake
Not the brightest candle on the cake 😂
His lost his balls n mind🤣🤣🤣🤣
I haven’t read it just heard it’s full of contradictions! Really enjoyed those two you pointed out, I hadn’t heard those before. Thank you ❤️
Great! I was aiming for that…a lot of the same stories are reported on over and over!
I can’t even imagine what his father has went through?
I say with respect to King Charles
His father, by the admission of British press now, suffered hell thanks to the papers helping her demonise him. They know all about her men friends being secreted into the palace to her hut kept it quiet. They thought if everyone knew what she was like the interest in her would fade and their newspaper sales drop.
I listened to this book on Audible, in Harrys voice, and was very unsettled.
What came to my mind when Harry said 'oh my father never showed me affection' was a story of an ex Amish lady who said that she grew up with her parents never saying I love you or being overly affectionate, but she knew without a shadow of a doubt that they loved her, as they showed that they did in all that they did.... Charles has shown him affection... and even if he didn't hug him as much as Harry wanted, I am sure that he would have shown his love for him..
Love your comment…..by far the best and thank you for not witch burning!

Just now found your channel!!! You are amazing👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 So spot on!!! Greetings from TEXAS🇺🇸
Holy moly...yes that lion/leopard whatever was definitely a stretch..Harry is desperately looking for his mummy to rise from the dead to save him, but heading into danger is the last thing a parent wants or does for their children...it would be really sad if Harry unconsciously harbors a death wish, to be reunited with his mum, but he is seriously mental.
🌟Oh have I got a
t-shirt slogan for you!!!!!!!
That’s more affection than I received as a teenager.
I’m sorry, everyone deserves affection as the grow! I think many would have the same reaction.
I can never bring myself to buy or read this book so I appreciate your doing it for me. Sounds like a lot of bollocks to me. He sadly but definitely has a lot of mental health issues to deal with and his marriage and break with his family are proof of that. My father wasn't even around when I was a child, didn't meet him til I was almost 18 and then he waltzed back in and acted like he hadn't abandoned us all. Very few people get the time and attention they would have liked , parents are after all people too and have their own cares and responsibilities beyond children. Harrys interpretation of events just makes him come off as immature, self aggrandizing and a liar.
I love this! Please do more, especially the very very corny ending. Mommy has come back to him in every reincarnation of animals on the planet.
😂😂
Excellent observations Poor old Harry is almost beyond help
I hope there is a way back to his family one day…
@@thevintageread we all do. But first he'll have to outgrow his wife, without abandoning his kids.
What does he think most kids family lives are like, Most have parents who have to work long hours just to pay the bills.
My dad worked two jobs for alot of my childhood so I didn't see him much, But he provided the best he could and I'm thankful for everything he did.
You managed to read that "book" two times! You deserve Harry's medals (at least his "mommy medals"!). Interesting video!
What the book tells is how much stress and chaos he brought to his family his whole life. And they just kept trying to help him. And the last 3 years he trashed them for it.
As I have no plans on reading his book and yet curious of it's content, I really appreciate what you highlight. The sensational stuff is all over the place. Your take offers a real glimpse at his true character.
Great video - I haven't read the book and have heard some of the stories like others, but your examples of Harry's foolishness are a refreshing watch. Thank you for highlighting these. 🤩
Thanks. Yes I found the mainstream media all focused on the same stories… I suspect they didn’t actually read it? 🤣
@@thevintageread - yes, it would seem so. I'd love to hear more examples from you, please 🙏. 🤩
The Royal Family should never be alone with these two. Body guards present and a video /or recording of the conversation. No pics.
I think that’s why they didn’t go to the christening of Lillibet at their mansion….cameras and mics could have been put everywhere
My father never did stroke my face until I fall asleep. He was not very of cudles and so on. He loved me I knew by then.
If I had any doubts about not reading this book before, I definitely have none after listening to your review. Thank you!
You were fabulous. You are spot on!
H is clearly disturbed and M knew that from the get go .
Harry: "Megan didn't even know who I was when we first met"
Sure, it's not like she's been a cynical social climber all her life or anything, Harry. 🤣
I found that hard to believe!
Even though she was friends with Princess Eugenie, his first cousin, somehow she didn't know who Prince Harry was? On the other hand, it is consistent with the fact she mistook Eugenie's father for the Queen's bagman. In the book, she asks Harry about the servant carrying the Queen's purse, and Harry says, "That was her second son, Andrew." (Odd that he didn't say, "My Uncle Andrew, but OK..."
But then again, that story is odd, too -- if she innocently believed Prince Andrew to be a servant, than why, later, would she ask questions about him?
@@VesnaVK If that really happened like Harry said, then she was playing him big time because she knew exactly what Charles' brothers looked like. If Harry believed she was so unaware of the royal family, his IQ is at the simpleton level.
I haven't read the book and your input is very interesting, thank you
I read it so you don’t have to! Thank you.
I did enjoy hearing your take on Spare and I agree with you. Even for his father to call him, "Darling boy," shows he was very loving and affectionate. Had my father ever been as kind to me as then Prince Charles was to Harry I would have treasured those memories forever. Harry's mind has been poisoned against his family by his narcissistic wife who had an agenda to get him away from them so she could have total control over him.
Wow, he has serious issues including a bad case of arrested development but that still doesn't excuse him trashing his paternal family every chance he gets.
I haven’t read Spare but from what you tell us here, I would hazard a guess his constant use of “mummy” is the victim playing to an American audience that continues to adore her. Great review and I look forward to more so have subscribed!
Harry referring to his mother as "mummy" sounds more creepy than sympathetic or whatever the ghost writer was trying to do.
@@cryptic1999 Charles called his mother the Queen mummy during his speech at the Jubilee. It’s how the other half speak!!
@@cryptic1999 I think it’s a very old European thing.
Jackie A I think you’re right. He’s playing on the emotions of the diehard Diana fans hoping to spark sympathy as the poor baby boy that lost his mummy and can’t move forward in his life. He had help and money at his disposal if he truly wanted help with his mental issues and drug abuse.
@Penny2014 I'm European, and I still find the wording to be weird.
Harry is a grown man who is still looking for someone to say its going to be alright..He just refuses to grow up and accept responsibility for all of his actions He'd rather keep blaming his Dad or Brother,anyone but Harry..Hes always had someone there for him to shelter and protect him..how sad! It wasn't me ..Harry
He has used the Leopard story for a lion story in a documentary he made about his trip to Botswana. I've heard this before. Every animal he sees is his Mother saying all will be well. Nothing is well with Harry. Sigh!!!
Not the 🐘 or 🦛
“He never forgot” this is an amazing dad! Someone who truely loved his son Harry. Harry has denigrated those who love him. I am unconsolably sad and angry with him…
So amazed to hear that about Charles! His own upbringing sounds rather emotionless, but how sweet he sounds. And Harry said this! And yet he decries his father for not caring. His Harry's mind split into two?
Excellent assessment. I agree with you on every count. 👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it
I've heard of someone being 'a pork pie short of a picnic' but I think that Harry's hamper was left completely empty.
Excellent! Haven’t heard this part of the book. Ironically, although I despise H writing a book trashing his family, it is the gift that keeps on giving! It is good to hear the contradictions being highlighted. What was the ghost writer thinking? I hope the Royal family feel less upset when they realise much of what is written is farcical and H is hastening his and M’s downfall by publishing such nonsense.
Please do more reviews of Spare! You do a fantastic job! Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant review! Yes it is a total stretch for Harry to say the leopard was his mummy! Total bonkers! Prince Harry lives in a bipolar type fantasy world!
The leopard is a leopard. Why did he see a message?
It is a sad situation for the whole family, there are no winners in this game.
Often, when people lose a loved one ,they say that a rainbow, a butterfly or a feather appears to them as a sign from their nearest and dearest. This is definitely the first time I have heard someone use a leopard !!
😂😅
a leopard and a fox, and probably flying monkeys he saw on an acid trip.
The leopard as Diana story sounds like a fib. I don't think Harry is that imaginative!
Just come across your channel. Thank you, this book is one I don't think I could stomach to read.
Thank you enjoyed listening to your thoughts and left wanting to hear more!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh my! I have the ebook (free) and I’m struggling to read it without being cross!! Well done for reading it twice😳
So ridiculous! My father never gave me a hug. When we children came home from a holiday, he would give us a hand. Also my mother seldom hugged us. But I never thought, this had disturbed us.
I absolutely loved all of your comments, done beautifully, best I've seen.
Harry was not abused or unloved. He is truly miserable person
How about the section in Part 2 (Chapter 7 I think) where he tracks and threatens his father's car with a military aircraft which then blows up something else 'on his orders'. I'm astonished that hasn't hit headlines everywhere.
🤣
Really??!!!! 😳
I want to hear more about this! Lol this guy is obviously out of touch with reality.
To have ideas to kill the future king sound’s treasonous
Well I didn’t realise he was such a good dad
I think you are marvelous to have read the book not once but twice. The book presents as the work of a disturbed person. He contradicts himself and wants to be perceived as a brave, emotionally intelligent person but is unaware he is presenting as deceitful and vindictive. Quite sad in many ways. I think one of the most difficult stories in the book is the one about his use of Elizabeth Arden cream to remember his mother by. I thought if anything was frostbitten it risked turning black and dropping off. The book is fantasy and should be in the section along with other fantasy authors.
I can’t bring myself to buy this. So yes! Please review more… 🤗
First time on your channel. What a brilliant format. Love the concept and the way you cut through the baloney and say it like it is. Hope there are many more on Harry’s Spare as I’m becoming weary listening to Neil Sean and Lady C.
Thank-you! That’s very encouraging and I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Me too, I find Neil information is not always correct and very bias. Lady C don't have the will power to listen to her over long diatribes.
Comment Sense is not very Common. You are right there are hundreds of mean , thoughtless, rude and abrasive acts by Harry in the book. He just does not seem to be aware of how he is seen or care if he is ruthless..... keep up the good work.
That's someone who cares deeply
I am so glad that I didn’t bother to buy the book! I would not have got too far into it before putting it down!
To hear of the touching and caring way Charles parented Harry in this book exerpt and him making out his father was not affectionate towards him is nothing short of SHAMEFUL, it truly is. H is DESPICABLE.
I’ve just stumbled upon your channel. Gave you a new sub. Great video!
Everyone else does the same exact stories because they pick out the most outrageous parts to review. I love that you’re looking at the most ridiculous smaller stuff that no one talks about. I read the tiresome book myself and it’s nice to know that I wasn’t the only one thinking “wtf!?”, “he can’t be serious!” and “is anyone else seeing this nonsense?!” the entire time I was reading. Lol!
🤣🤗
Loved your observations. Would love to hear some more.
Working on it!
I have read the book also and I find that the mood of the book paints an entirely different picture than Harry in his interviews! I suppose the acrimony can only come through Harry! I find the book “Spare” describes a Harry that had a wonderful childhood! Yes, we all have traumatic things to deal with, but no where does the book portray what Harry is trying to prove!
Yes the interviews varied a lot!
I agree with every word you have said
I thought exactly the same of what you said about his dad. Always calling him my darling boy. 👍
Haven’t read the book and don’t want to. You hit the nail on the head in that review. When I look at Harry I see a “jealous, vindictive child” that wants to be #1. He is narcissistic and jealous of Prince William. I feel sorry for him…he is a miserable young man. 🙏😔
Yes I feel sorry for the whole situation really!
I enjoyed your perceptive view on the book. Would like to hear more please.
More to come! There are a lot of little moments that tell a bigger story!
@The Vintage Read Show Thank you would love to hear your insights into this book SPARE
Totally agree and I love what you say ❤️
Growing up we just put ourselves to bed. My mom was often working and my older brother was left in charge. I know my mom loved me ❤. Also, the leopard story is crazy! Maybe it was just a big cat going by - nothing to do with “mummy”. He’s such an idiot !!! 😤
I’ve just discovered your channel and oh what a gem it is. Your calm voice and accent is so pleasing to the ear . I couldn’t bring myself to buy the book but feel you’ve done a great job for me, sparing me the odious fast. I’ve long thought Harry was actually not a very nice person, spoilt and protected by his parents, who righted his many wrongs for him as they knew he wasn’t very bright. I think he has a thoroughly mean and cruel streak, especially when he doesn’t get his way. I’m looking forward to following you now.
Thank you!
That was indeed a gem! Please do some more! X
Very insightful, thanks! I definitely would love to hear more of this from you….
More to come!
Harry confuses acquiesce ( his Mother's doting toleration of everything) with true affection which sets boundaries ( like his Father).
Yes l would love to hear more please.
This is one of the most disturbing books I've ever come across in my life. It should come with an age restriction imo. The amount of vitreol and abuse he spews without any accountability is maddening! From the ghostwriter to the publisher and every enabler who's making money out of this is infuriating!
Avid Gardener pointed me in your direction - I'm so pleased too!
She was so kind to do that! 💗🤗
You are an absolute delight to listen to. On top of that, you have summed it up beautifully. Best wishes to you.
Wow, thank you!
I'm not a fan of the British royal family after years of seeing their lack of moral standards, so I come at this stuff with an open mind, like maybe Harry suffers severe PTSD from his mother's death. So I really appreciate your clips from the book, which I haven't read. I totally agree the first shows a lot of affection from his father, almost an unusual amount a lot of kids don't get. After following live African wildlife webcams, absolutely yes, it's completely stupid to move toward the leopard, and a "sign" from his deceased mother? That doesn't even make sense. I think of "signs" more like a white dove glowing in the sunshine. Like he's fishing for sympathy of how "bad" he has it, and the more of a reason for me not to be interested in his book.
I think it's unfair to generalise about royal families lack of moral standards
There are many without scandals
Media focuses on scandals which influences our view
You actually "saw" their lack of moral standards!? And years of it!? Wow, you must have known them personally! 🙄
The RF is no better nor worse than other human beings.
@@Celisar1 but they pretend to be better that’s the difference
Have you seen the moral standards of the general public at the moment 😏😏😏
I suffered through it. Thank you for your review.
I hear you!
Fantastic review and unlike anyone else’s. It was a pleasure to hear you today! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
