I think he left the Christmas Ornament story in out of spite. He had been to the funeral with Meghan and he did not get the things he wanted. Meghan was not allowed at the Queens deathbed at the Queens request and the family must have been furious with them for delaying the plane. I think Harry and Meghan were also taken out of her will. So the story was a final dig at his beloved Grandmother, his Queen and Commander in Chief. I don’t know why this story did not make it into the general press as I think it is the most terrible thing in the whole book. What a disgusting couple these two are. I hope they never return to the UK.
I'm so glad that you spent all these hours telling us about this book. I would never have purchased this book but after finding you reading a couple of clips, well, I was addicted. You are so funny when you use your Harry voice. You are a wonderful story teller. Thank you!
I'm still convinced that the stories of the ghostwriter quitting because Rachel wouldn't stop interfering are true, he took the money and kept his mouth shut and those two wrote this load of utter rubbish. It's so full of Meganese and over the top Disney storylines not to have her claws all over it.
You're the wittiest young lady! Most people don't have a sense of humor as you do! It has been a pleasure watching your videos!! You truly know how to captivate your audience! Can't wait for the next book you plan on reviewing!
I'd like to thank Harold for explaining to every last one of us why his family has gone "no contact." Without his gift of revealing himself to be an obnoxious, petty AF, entitled (frostbite damaged) todger the world would have wondered why they're so thoroughly exhausted of dealing with you. Thank you Cheere, you really made this so much more fun than Harold intended.
@@Here.Be.Dragons I've listened to the beginning of the book with Harold reading and it turned me off so much that I couldn't continue (it was the sample audiobook). Thanks to Cheere I didn't have to endure the endless whinging, her imitation of Harold speaking brought laughter when the words might have elicited tears of frustration.
Great series! I couldn't face reading the book but this reading was hilarious - some much-needed snark to go counter all the whining and self-aggrandisement!
I think 90% of the book was disrespectful to just about everyone mentioned… except for the Duchess of Narcissism, whom he portrays as perfect and the second coming of his mother ( which is often creepy). I also wonder how much of the story was true, how much he invented in his drug addled mind. Thank you for doing all this work, because I sure wasn’t going to read it myself.
Can you imagine how Charles must’ve been feeling while Harry was shouting at him because Meghan couldn’t come. Charles’s mother was dying and he was going to become king, emotions were obviously running high and Harry didn’t help one bit. He could’ve accepted it and actually asked his dad if he was ok and whether he needed anything.
Here’s the thing about Charles’ request at the end that M not come: Assuming that’s even true (big ask), Harry needs to cut his far some slack when Charles’ own mother was dying. There was an awful lot on Charles’ shoulders and it’s incredibly bratty of Harry to assume that he was the only person in that situation who was having Big Feelings and struggling with how to deal.
The way you were talking about God in thus video was really comforting to me. You speak with such conviction and from such a good place. I’m going through a very challenging time with medical issues, and that was really nice to hear. I’ve been listening to you just to be entertained about the silliness of Harry, but that was unexpectedly very good for my heart. Thank you
Oh my goodness, does this comment ever make me glad because I WANT to be an encouragement! I hope things get better with the medical issues!! Keep us posted and I promise to pray for you Lindsay!!!
Why on Earth would Harry think Megan needed a moment alone at Diana's grave? She never met her. If I married a person whose parent had passed before I ever met my spouse, I would go visit with my spouse, but I would never feel a need to grieve or pay respects by myself. I would have never met the parent. It would be like taking a private moment in a cemetary for a random, complete stranger. This feels quite disrespectful and, frankly, fake to me.
The big house is important to M- nouveau riche . Meghan wants the shiny stuff. Harry grew up in luxury so its not as thrilling to him. He romanticized staying in a tent in Africa.
The fact that just harry shared a special relationship with HLMTQ makes what he & his first wife did to her even more disgusting. I didn't think I could like them any less, but here we are. Thank you for your reading & insightful commentary. Not sure if I could have read this one without lighting it on fire in disgust.
This book is unreadable/unlistenable without your commentary and literary criticism-you’re fabulous! Looking forward to listening to your reading of Tom Bower’s revenge.
Harry kept insisting Meghan come anyway. That's what help the plane up. Also the Queen asked Harry to come visit her 2 days before she died but he didn't go.
The Queen had a special relationship with all her grandkids. Peter was her fav coz he is much like his mother. William was the closest to her coz the future of her work and family was in his hands and she had weekly dinner with him since the age of 7 (famously including the night before Harry´s wedding). She and Prince Philip were proper grandparents to Louise and James and got to babysit them and play grandparents coz they came soo late in their lives when they had the time to be grandparents. She shared her love of horses and used to have riding dates with Zara.
Thank you for sharing this. I read so many people disrespect QE that she did not give enough parenting /grand parenting time to her family. I BEG FOR DIFFER . For a Queen of a country and commonwealth traveling around the world and worked as hard as she did I THINK SHE GAVE 100% AND I THINK IT WAS ALOT MORE THAN MOST!!!! She was a woman that had strong dedication and love for her family.
He couldn't stop thinking of the woman who 3 days before she died and asked him to come to Balmoral he declined... Just like he wanted to get off of the phone with his mum and go back to playing the night she died....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Why on earth did he think The Queen would want MM anywhere near her in her dying moments after all that had happened. The Queen had spoken to Meghan a handful of times in all up, and I doubt they would have been in-depth conversations. She'd known Kate for at least 10yearsT Harry is as thick as 2 planks. Especially when we now know the entire time, he was dithering around, he did speak to William and his father and was fighting with them over Meghan coming. Thats why he missed the family plane. And then all the underhanded tricks they got up to in the lead up to the funeral. Harry last saw the Queen just before the Invictus Games and the next day he revealed all about the meeting with Gayle King. That's how much he thought of granny and their "special relationship"
Even with a ghostwriter, I feel that Megan had a HUGE hand in writing this book. It’s penned in such a melodramatic style that it just sounds like her. I mean, look at that children’s book she wrote. It’s amusing how try-hard she comes across. And, tbh, I don’t think Harry could string enough sentences together to make a comprehensible paragraph, let alone a book. The man had to assemble a team to write a simple proposal for the queen…because, if left alone to compose it, it would have read like a Dick and Jane reader. I feel Harry told stories to Megan. She wrote them out, adding whatever she wanted to…and then it was handed to the ghostwriter. But I feel Megan was the last person to proofread/edit it. I would be stunned if that wasn’t the case. I can’t envision her letting that book go to press without her reading and approving it first.
Absolutely agree with this assessment. So many little stories included sound like Meghan, not Harry. Would Harry even notice Catherine's reluctance to lend her lip balm, for example? I think not.
I’ve commented on this before but I have to defend J.R. Moehringer because I absolutely loved The Tender Bar. As the ghostwriter, Meghan must have put Moehringer through the grinder and made him wish he’d never entered her hellish imaginations. Parts of Spare do read like The Bench, ugh.
Camilla was already up there, Sophie went with Edward because the Queen absolutely adored Sophie, and I don't think Catherine would had wanted to go, the three kids had started school that week and I think she would had wanted to be with them and explain that Gam Gam was gone and what would happen next. So Harry using the 'no wives' reason is a bit hollow imo, if anything William probably pulled rank and forbid her to fly with them, so Harry threw a strope until William was all "We're leaving without you, find your own way up"
Yes I heard that Will &co were waiting for Harry to join them to take off but he wouldn’t go on the plane without Meghan (hate that spelling) and that’s why they left him
Aside from William and Harry, who, because the Queen was dying, were the sons of the King that Charles would become the moment she passed, none of her other grandchildren had been asked to go. To Peter, Zara, Beatrice, Eugenie, James and Louise, the Queen was the granny they had known and loved all their lives. Meghan was a granddaughter-in-law who had known her for 5 minutes, why would Harry think she deserved to be there when her blood grandchildren were not?
The family knew they were likely recording for Netflix and Meghan would have a nice chapter on the death of the Queen in her book if she was invited to go. How sick that she felt entitled to be at the deathbed of the late and loved HMTQ! It's unbelievable how little compassion they have for their grieving family members to make her death even about them!
Please it’s disgusting n I wouldn’t put it past him to maybe have a photo n inside stuff from that time he is disgusting the RF especially William needs him away from them n his kids he is so jealous n wants to b king
Queen Elizabeth was our Queen the whole of my life until September last. She gave the whole of her long life to duty and service to her country, to her people and to the Commonwealth. To my country, to me. I admired, respected and loved her. If Harry had simply stepped down from Public Life and led the quiet life he said he wanted we would have been a little sad perhaps, but - I like to think - we would have quite understood. Instead, with the encouragement of his wife, he lit a fuse on a metaphorical bomb, several metaphorical bombs, and threw them one by one into the palace and walked away. I decided I would not buy his book and line this traitorous man's pockets, but I paid for my sins as I fretted, when it was published, about what was in it and listened, appalled, as the highlights were talked about everywhere. So, I would like to say a big THANK YOU to you, Cheere Denise, for taking on the arduous task of reading 'Spare'. For the hours of your time you have dedicated to the task. For the wit, humour and charm you lent to the reading of this awful book. For your incisive critiques and, perhaps most of all, for revealing to us the fribble of a prince he was born and the despicable man he has become.
Imagine in the moment your own Mother dies and you’ve got to deal with Harry’s strop. Also I find it rather coincidental that William and co’s plane was waiting on the tarmac for about 90 minutes and they missed the Queen dying.. why?
Just prior to this, the Palace discovered that both H & M were secretly audio & visually recording the wider family. The family sat in a plane for over an hour, waiting for Harry to arrive before taking off. Allegedly Harry was delayed, as Meghan insisted she should be allowed to go. Eventually the rest of the family chose to fly/leave without him. They ultimately didn’t make it in time to see the late Queen in time. Thus, Harry had to hire his own flight. Harry was invited to dine with Charles & William that night, to try & settle their issues. Harry refused.
I think Harry has built the walls of his life so high that no one can breach them. It feels like a very lonely life. I hope he can eventually find peace and know that loving people is messy and sometimes painful but it is so very worth it in the end. It’s a very small world they’ve carved out for themselves and you can drown in the isolation of it all. I hope they will learn to turn the mirror around and begin to ask themselves about the role they played in creating all this dysfunction. And just maybe there is the tiniest hope that he could have relationship with his relatives. It’s not very likely, especially if he is never able to own his role in lighting this bonfire. Maybe before they are old and William is King, maybe they can find some healing. But Harry is wrong about where the ball is. It’s not in Pa’s court. No one will ever trust that anything they say won’t be misquoted in a book or podcast or interview. Without trust, there is nothing to build on. It’s a shame.
Even more true as I read this 11 months after your comment. Things haven’t gotten better at this point, maybe far, far into the future Harry will realize what he’s done. I have zero hope for M ever seeing the light.
And a further 3 months on from the last reply, Charles has cancelled his tour of Australasia due to his health and it looks likely his reign will be a lot shorter than hoped and William will accede the throne before Harry has managed to pull his head out of his arse and apologise to his family/ father.
I wouldn't have texted my husband, knowing he was in public and alone, to let him know his grandmother had passed. I would've left it for his family to tell him when he had arrived. But she insists on being his everything-much to his detriment. This is what happens when you marry someone that brings out all your worst and fosters your demons instead of your strengths.
That scene with Harry looking at the face of HMTQ just after she’d passed, realizing his need to do this because he didn’t get to with his mother, is probably one the few moments of real self-reflection he’s ever had. Certainly one of the few in this book. And actually quite touching. But isn’t it weird how little he mentions his grandfather?
Well he could not look at his mother as she was in France- and I read somewhere that he and William were able to look at their mother when she was brought back to Britain. He probably blocked all that out.
Harold has told so many unbelievably colossal fables in this book, in my opinion, he no longer deserves the benefit of the doubt. I don't believe that Charles left out that Catherine was not coming to Balmoral. I am sure that Harold interrupted him before he had an opportunity to complete what he was saying. He is always in attack mode toward his family. Hmm, I wonder why??
As far as the trip to Balmoral, I have heard that the Queen didn’t want to see Meghan. She was on her death bed, so she should get her wish. Catherine agreed not to go so that Meghan wouldn’t take it badly. This, even though Catherine was very close to the Queen. At least the Queen was spared having to see Meghan on her death bed.
Awe bless you, you beautiful lady. I’ve never enjoyed a book that I disliked so much. Thank you for doing this. I didn’t and wouldn’t spend a dime on it, but I wouldn’t have enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed listening to you. Now onto Revenge, can’t wait. ❤♥❤♥
Why would KC3 want Markle at his mothers bedside.. any wife would have sent her husband alone to such a sombre moment. Markle has caused so much trouble, maybe the Queen said, NO. It was the death of The Monarch, surrounded by propriety, and history. NO Harry it was NOT appropriate for your wife to be there! After all Meggieleaks is her favorite game of manipulation!!
I CANNOT believe how much I have enjoyed this!! I even binge-watched some episodes!!! I laughed so hard at certain points. As a Brit, I do think the mockney you used for Harry’s voice is very accurate. Then there were little asides, the long suffering stares into the camera (like when Harry tells William that he believes their mother had handpicked Meg for him). My sides still hurt. I’ve been screaming “So I called my therapist!” Around my apartment and bursting out laughing for about a week now. This was REALLY well done!!! You say you’re a school teacher? I bet NOBODY fails your class. This is narration beats the effort from Audible!! Hopefully, ‘Revenge’, a far less scandalous book can be presented in the same engaging way. As one of my personal heroes would say: “Excelsior!!”
19:51 When I googled “resurrection bird”, the phoenix came up. I found 1 reference to the Spanish and hummingbirds. It said “When early Spanish explorers first encountered hummingbirds in the New World, they called them joyas voladoras--or "flying jewels.” Edit: So I don’t know what he’s talking about 🙄
Going to go through some of your highlights that grabbed my attention: 1) Isn't it ironic he was praising St George's chapel, the place he got married and said goodbye to his grandfather, yet degraded William's choice to get married at Westminister Abbey where Diana's funeral was at? 2) Could be stereotyping, but that friend that likely referenced the anthropology stories of the hummingbird could be his friend Nacho, he is from Argentina. 3) The ball he has to make up that hummingbird story knowing full well how people were amazed that there were rainbows at both Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle right as the Queen was pronounced dead. Everyone saw the symbolism of those rainbows as the Queen spiritual through God, as she was a very devoted Christian, saying her farewell and it represented the magnificent reign she resided over, to twist it to link it to directly to him using a spirituality that he grasps to as if it just coincidentally lines up for his life. The nerve. Thank you so much for covering this book, while I'm certain you didn't gain much value from reading this book, you certainly gain some followers here who love to help support our work. I think you best summarized this book by just saying, "What a dumb book!"
You have such beauty externally and internally. Your profound and intelligent summations bring wisdom to us listeners. The accents you transact in rendering life to the story are so entertaining. I feel blessed getting acquainted with your literary activities. May God continue to enrich your living experiences with joy and satisfaction. I suspect you are a fabulous mother.
Most of the youtube reviewers of this book have gone for the broad humor. The todger jokes. Yours has been so insightfull and heartbreaking. You know this isn't going to end well. And we've just read exhibit A. I was so happy to learn you are a teacher. I know there is a flock of students out there that will look back and say "she is the reason I love to read."
So we hear how close he was to the Queen, but he didn’t mention that, it seems, the only time he phoned her was to ask for money. He might have visited her at Balmoral before she died if she’d offered him a few quid
The Queen favored Harry, and even with everything that he did she still had a soft spot for him. He cried because he knew that with her death, no one in the Royal family will give him the time of day anymore. He truly lost the last thread that held him.
I play you whilst cooking dinner. My 13 year old son was transfixed by your book analysis, I had no idea he was even listening! We had a good chat afterwards.
Everything you said about Harry and his spirituality and giving himself all to Meghan is true. He was only a 31 y/o man when he met her and a very immature one at that. He gave off the impression that he was a lost soul and had had no real mission in life (except for maybe Invictus). He had just finished his stint in the army - what was he going to do with his life? This is just a tragic case of little boy lost who meets up with the wrong woman and what has happened is a classic tragic result. It just keeps getting worse. Looking forward to Revenge - it's a great book~
So late to the party, but couldn't not say just how much l've enjoyed your immensely entertaining re-telling of this tale. I always find your views so interesting and insightful.......and your Harry voice is just comedy gold!😂 Thank you so much - l look forward to binge-viewing the rest of your great content!
Thank you for this series-I finally listened to the whole thing. I completely agree about self-absorption. My primary takeaway is how absolutely horribly he has treated his family. There is so much in here that we SHOULD NOT BE HEARING. Especially that heartfelt conversation he had with William and his father. Poor William… he spoke those words to his brother in confidence, never dreaming that his trust would be so violated. It’s heartbreaking.
Diana’s grave is in the Spencer Estate. They would need the approval of the Earl Spencer, even though he is Harry’s uncle. Perhaps the Spencer family don’t want her going there willy nilly. They refused her wearing the Spencer family for her wedding. Good on them! 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
Its astonishing he hadn't taken her to see Diana's grave before 2022: when my sister married a chap whose mother died 2 years before she took her wedding bouquet to place on his mother's grave. Meghan's performance at the grave is mind-boggling: most normal men would have told her off. Meghan not invited to Balmoral - makes sense since she barely knew the Queen.
It's so sad that he still moans about his family when the queen died , yet again it was about him , I did think when he went back to megan she was on the floor crying,,well done being able to read it ,your delivery , and your thoughts , loved it ❤️
HOORAY!!! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!! IF I COULD CREATE A MEDAL AND PERFORM A CEREMONY TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR GREAT SACRIFICE ON OUR BEHALF...I WOULD. TRULY I WOULD. THANK YOU.
Your last thoughts make sense to me and I read a quote from one of the Queen's Lady in Waiting that the Queen had commented that Harry is so damaged that the only hope for him is spiritual rebirth and awakening. Thanks for your insights on Spare.😊
I agree with the Queen. Harry needs to hit rock bottom and get a real therapist. He probably should go to a secret rehab facility where he has zero contact with the outside world for at least 3 months.
How sad.. 16 bathrooms and only one todger.. Cheere, I've re-watched all these "Spare me" episodes and you've done such a wonderful job. Thank you.. I got the audiobook using my free credit but I could NOT listen to the entire thing. I kept getting headaches from the violent eye-rolling. Seriously, I rolled them more trying to listen to him than I did in all the years of raising three kids to adulthood combined.
I didn't care for Harry reading his own book. He was just trying to read it too fast. It was wired. Listening to Cheere makes it fun. He opinions and voices are spot on.
This book is the result of Harry‘as desperation… he needs to provide for his family and he HAD to do it… if H had the resources for his and M’s lifestyle the story would be different… I was at my local bookstore and I saw Spare on the fiction section 😂 Thank you for your insight it was really spot on 🙏🏽
And yet he has inherited more money than most people will see in a lifetime, and has more inheritance to come. Granted, life is about much more than money but he has used ‘needing money’ as an excuse to demonstrate his lack of integrity, his utter betrayal of his family, in public, for money. The book is a book of stories, and was supposed to be published when his grandmother was still alive, so much for his love of her, let alone his brother and his very loving family
I reckon Markle had a large hand in the writing of this book. She certainly put words in the dolt Harry's mouth. Love your sarcastic humour. Brilliant coverage.
I seem to remember that when Harry arrived in Scotland it was a clear day no fog, more fairytales. Thank you for reviewing the book, looking forward to Revenge have not read it.🇬🇧
I believe that they did not want MM to come to Balmoral. It was not her grandmother. They probably only wanted a few people who were close to her there. People are constantly commenting that Cath. did not go. Well, it was not her grandmother, either. Why should any of them be there when only two of QE2's eight grandchildren were coming? (Yes, QE2 was not the grandmother of W and H only. For some reason I find it upsetting that their cousins do not seem to be considered as important as grandchildren). When people are on their deathbed, you bring in the people THEY want to see, and you would think her grandchildren would be higher on the wish list (and it would be more important for them, as she had been there for them all their lives) than the spouses of her grandchildren, especially if they have only been around for a few years. I am not saying that you cannot have a very close relationship with your spouse's grandmother, but their grandchildren will still be closer to their heart, as should be.
The part with the ornament and the Queen was I think made even more disrespectful by the addition of the psychic and how Diana allegedly laughed at it breaking. As if the Queen was the bad one in their relationship and Diana even in the afterlife felt that little spite still.
Really appreciated your final thoughts on this book. It's so sad in the end how much damange was done but mainly to Harry himself in my opinion. Looking forward to all the delicious facts coming from Revenge!
This was the only way to have this book read, touches of humor, amongst the drama, and truly understanding the hurt Harry caused Queen Elizabeth II & Prince Phillip. Harry was her grandson & bares the responsibility. Thank you for doing this.
Shows a wasted life so far. I think he was backfooted by ER. Over the years, the media has named different grandchildren as "her favourite" and he thought he was. Happy Easter
I absolutely enjoyed your reading and comments on this book. I didn't buy it so I was glad to listen to you and you made the whole review much better that listening to Harry's own voice. Thank you so very much
Your analysis is great and so is your humour, but what truly sets you apart and makes your videos wonderful to watch is your integrity and morality. So inspiring! Your thoughts inspire me.
Love your thoughts on God at the end and how horribly sad that Harry deprives himself from having access to that in favor of a human woman. But on a more lighthearted note, this is SUCH an entertaining series you've done! I'll be looking out for more!
Notice how he could accept condolences from strangers for the Queen, yet as an adult he can’t use that same logic for all the people who were heartbroken for him as a kid when his Mum passed? He is still angry at EVERYONE for how they reacted when Di passed, and he is still angry…
I just want to personally thank you for reading this reverse fairy tale for me so I didn’t have to… I owe you one!! M going to miss your Harry voice in a big way… 2:54
I look forward so much to your reviews yiur so funny and incisive - im enjoying each episode. Thanks for mentioning the British people - I am British and its so apreciated how you understand how lots of us feel about this situation.
I am so grateful to have stumbled across your channel! I have just binged all of your episodes of *Spare* and am looking forward to move on to *Revenge* with you. A few thoughts i wanted to add myself. 1, firstly you are a fantastic story teller and i would absolutely love to sit and listen to you all day over a glass of wine 😂 you are insightful, fair and very entertaining so thank you for entertaining me! 2, I have a theory that Harry stopped mentally developing at the age of 12 after the trauma of his mums death and because this wasnt properly addressed he grew up as an indulged man child. I think "Pa" (and others) never really challenged him because he felt bad about not being a mother and the father that Harry "felt" he deserved. I also think that Charles is very passive and Harry is aggressive so they clashed. "Pa" could never have lived up to Harrys expectations because they were unreasonable. 3, William comes off as the better of the 2 in this book even when Harry tries his best to make him look like the bad guy. 4, Meghan fed all of harrys paranoia and insecurities until he became depressed and dependent upon her. She is a calculated manipulator who loves the attention and was disappointed to find out "her prince" wasnt quite the rich catch she thought he would be. 5, the royal family are far superior and have incredible dignity. 6, THANK GOD HARRY WAS NOT BORN FIRST 🤯 Your awesome. Thank you!! 😁
I am new to your channel and enjoyed your commentary. I have a MA in English lit and I sincerely thank you for sparing my retinas from reading such drivel. Poor Harry's travel challenges to get to Balmoral sound like a load of hooey. The staff at Buckingham Palace would've been on high alert for the past 8 DECADES, ever prepared for the eventuality of our dear Queen's untimely passing. Every detail would've been covered (as witnessed by her stately funeral.) Staff would've had precise plans to get everyone where they had to be. This would've included Harry....UNLESS he'd been such a JERK since M's arrival that he was purposefully left to flounder. Sheesh ~ even when I host luncheons, I make sure that all my girlfriends can get here.
Thank you SO much for sparing us!!! You have done an amazing job getting through this muck! If you want a really, truly good read, try William Manchester’s biography of Winston Churchill called The Last Lion. The prologue alone should be required reading for all English speaking peoples! THAT is some amazing writing!! Thanks again! Can’t wait to start Revenge!!
Thank you for taking me through this book, in such an amusing fashion. I think it's safe to say that, you've spared many of us from adding to Harry's inflated bank account.. Cheesy pun intended. 😉 Can't wait for 'Revenge.'
Thorough enjoyed your videos and this series. You brought much fun and comedy to the fairytales, and the book is way worse than I thought it was in how it portrays Harold. He's completely under the cult of his wife. The way he treated the Queen at the end of her life was awful, and he wrote all this expecting her to be alive for it. I think they were shocked at the outpouring of grief for her. I watched some of the footage of people passing her coffin to pay their respects. All types of people. Harold just never understood what true service and sacrifice ever meant. What a lost boy.
Your ending analysis is really spot on. I too was struck by his lack of faith and calling his wife the Captain of his Soul. His grandmother had a deep and true faith and he never mentions it. It’s sad to think how lost he must feel.
I think he left the Christmas Ornament story in out of spite. He had been to the funeral with Meghan and he did not get the things he wanted. Meghan was not allowed at the Queens deathbed at the Queens request and the family must have been furious with them for delaying the plane. I think Harry and Meghan were also taken out of her will.
So the story was a final dig at his beloved Grandmother, his Queen and Commander in Chief.
I don’t know why this story did not make it into the general press as I think it is the most terrible thing in the whole book. What a disgusting couple these two are. I hope they never return to the UK.
I agree with you 100%
I think the story was added in after her death as a premonition
5:00: I’m literally shocked she didn’t drape herself over the headstone, sobbing dramatically.
No, she would have thrown herself to the floor and sobbed uncontrollably.
I pictured her collapsed on the ground sobbing.
Haha, same!! This is the only time Harry **didn’t** return to find her ‘collapsed to the floor, sobbing’!
She would have, but I believe the headstone is quite tall. She had to paw it instead.
or collapse
I'm so glad that you spent all these hours telling us about this book. I would never have purchased this book but after finding you reading a couple of clips, well, I was addicted. You are so funny when you use your Harry voice. You are a wonderful story teller. Thank you!
You are so welcome! I loved doing it!!

I'm still convinced that the stories of the ghostwriter quitting because Rachel wouldn't stop interfering are true, he took the money and kept his mouth shut and those two wrote this load of utter rubbish. It's so full of Meganese and over the top Disney storylines not to have her claws all over it.
Meghanese Disney stories. Perfect.

Can you imagine how Charles must’ve been feeling while Harry was shouting at him because Meghan couldn’t come. Charles’s mother was dying and he was going to become king, emotions were obviously running high and Harry didn’t help one bit.
He could’ve accepted it and actually asked his dad if he was ok and whether he needed anything.
Here’s the thing about Charles’ request at the end that M not come: Assuming that’s even true (big ask), Harry needs to cut his far some slack when Charles’ own mother was dying. There was an awful lot on Charles’ shoulders and it’s incredibly bratty of Harry to assume that he was the only person in that situation who was having Big Feelings and struggling with how to deal.
Charles’ mother was *dying*, and he was being named her replacement👑😮but sure, let’s make it all about Meghan’s feelingsss🤮
…your assessment of the book is 100% right!….your uploads are very well done….! Thank you!
Many thanks!
The way you were talking about God in thus video was really comforting to me. You speak with such conviction and from such a good place. I’m going through a very challenging time with medical issues, and that was really nice to hear. I’ve been listening to you just to be entertained about the silliness of Harry, but that was unexpectedly very good for my heart. Thank you
I'm sorry to hear you're going through a hard time, I hope things improve for you very soon and I'm glad this channel brings you some comfort 😊
Oh my goodness, does this comment ever make me glad because I WANT to be an encouragement! I hope things get better with the medical issues!! Keep us posted and I promise to pray for you Lindsay!!!
@@cheeredenise ❤
I hope everything turns out for you with your medical challenges many prayers and BLESSINGS 🙏🙏🙏
Why on Earth would Harry think Megan needed a moment alone at Diana's grave? She never met her. If I married a person whose parent had passed before I ever met my spouse, I would go visit with my spouse, but I would never feel a need to grieve or pay respects by myself. I would have never met the parent. It would be like taking a private moment in a cemetary for a random, complete stranger. This feels quite disrespectful and, frankly, fake to me.
What is there about that creature that isn’t fake?
@ellenrittgers990 At this point, I'd have say maybe only her ears.
This fact alone proves to me that she wrote the book.
Why should William have responded to Harry? After all the crap Harry and Megan had done. I would have ignored him too.
The big house is important to M- nouveau riche . Meghan wants the shiny stuff. Harry grew up in luxury so its not as thrilling to him. He romanticized staying in a tent in Africa.
The fact that just harry shared a special relationship with HLMTQ makes what he & his first wife did to her even more disgusting. I didn't think I could like them any less, but here we are. Thank you for your reading & insightful commentary. Not sure if I could have read this one without lighting it on fire in disgust.
This book is unreadable/unlistenable without your commentary and literary criticism-you’re fabulous! Looking forward to listening to your reading of Tom Bower’s revenge.
He's amazingly self-indulgent, fantastically unintelligent and unusually unaware.
Our hero thank you for all you do ❤️❤️❤️🏴🏴🏴
Harry kept insisting Meghan come anyway. That's what help the plane up. Also the Queen asked Harry to come visit her 2 days before she died but he didn't go.
Yes I heard that too. Do you remember the source for that story?
@@valgardener7656 every news source in the Uk. The palace confirmed the invite also
She invited them so many times ...shows who he really is not a caring Grandson refusing to go and see her not in great health and 96...
I saw that on the day, in real time. He was invited on the flight with William and his Aunt and Uncles but refused because THE HAG wasn't welcomed.
The Queen had a special relationship with all her grandkids.
Peter was her fav coz he is much like his mother. William was the closest to her coz the future of her work and family was in his hands and she had weekly dinner with him since the age of 7 (famously including the night before Harry´s wedding). She and Prince Philip were proper grandparents to Louise and James and got to babysit them and play grandparents coz they came soo late in their lives when they had the time to be grandparents. She shared her love of horses and used to have riding dates with Zara.
Thank you for sharing this. I read so many people disrespect QE that she did not give enough parenting /grand parenting time to her family. I BEG FOR DIFFER . For a Queen of a country and commonwealth traveling around the world and worked as hard as she did I THINK SHE GAVE 100% AND I THINK IT WAS ALOT MORE THAN MOST!!!! She was a woman that had strong dedication and love for her family.
He couldn't stop thinking of the woman who 3 days before she died and asked him to come to Balmoral he declined... Just like he wanted to get off of the phone with his mum and go back to playing the night she died....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Why on earth did he think The Queen would want MM anywhere near her in her dying moments after all that had happened. The Queen had spoken to Meghan a handful of times in all up, and I doubt they would have been in-depth conversations. She'd known Kate for at least 10yearsT Harry is as thick as 2 planks. Especially when we now know the entire time, he was dithering around, he did speak to William and his father and was fighting with them over Meghan coming. Thats why he missed the family plane. And then all the underhanded tricks they got up to in the lead up to the funeral. Harry last saw the Queen just before the Invictus Games and the next day he revealed all about the meeting with Gayle King. That's how much he thought of granny and their "special relationship"
Even with a ghostwriter, I feel that Megan had a HUGE hand in writing this book. It’s penned in such a melodramatic style that it just sounds like her. I mean, look at that children’s book she wrote. It’s amusing how try-hard she comes across. And, tbh, I don’t think Harry could string enough sentences together to make a comprehensible paragraph, let alone a book. The man had to assemble a team to write a simple proposal for the queen…because, if left alone to compose it, it would have read like a Dick and Jane reader.
I feel Harry told stories to Megan. She wrote them out, adding whatever she wanted to…and then it was handed to the ghostwriter. But I feel Megan was the last person to proofread/edit it. I would be stunned if that wasn’t the case. I can’t envision her letting that book go to press without her reading and approving it first.
I couldn't agree more!!!
Absolutely agree with this assessment. So many little stories included sound like Meghan, not Harry. Would Harry even notice Catherine's reluctance to lend her lip balm, for example? I think not.
I’ve commented on this before but I have to defend J.R. Moehringer because I absolutely loved The Tender Bar. As the ghostwriter, Meghan must have put Moehringer through the grinder and made him wish he’d never entered her hellish imaginations. Parts of Spare do read like The Bench, ugh.
Camilla was already up there, Sophie went with Edward because the Queen absolutely adored Sophie, and I don't think Catherine would had wanted to go, the three kids had started school that week and I think she would had wanted to be with them and explain that Gam Gam was gone and what would happen next. So Harry using the 'no wives' reason is a bit hollow imo, if anything William probably pulled rank and forbid her to fly with them, so Harry threw a strope until William was all "We're leaving without you, find your own way up"
Yes I heard that Will &co were waiting for Harry to join them to take off but he wouldn’t go on the plane without Meghan (hate that spelling) and that’s why they left him
Aside from William and Harry, who, because the Queen was dying, were the sons of the King that Charles would become the moment she passed, none of her other grandchildren had been asked to go. To Peter, Zara, Beatrice, Eugenie, James and Louise, the Queen was the granny they had known and loved all their lives. Meghan was a granddaughter-in-law who had known her for 5 minutes, why would Harry think she deserved to be there when her blood grandchildren were not?
The family knew they were likely recording for Netflix and Meghan would have a nice chapter on the death of the Queen in her book if she was invited to go. How sick that she felt entitled to be at the deathbed of the late and loved HMTQ! It's unbelievable how little compassion they have for their grieving family members to make her death even about them!
Please it’s disgusting n I wouldn’t put it past him to maybe have a photo n inside stuff from that time he is disgusting the RF especially William needs him away from them n his kids he is so jealous n wants to b king
The queen actually didn’t want Meghan there in her last moments of her life
Queen Elizabeth was our Queen the whole of my life until September last. She gave the whole of her long life to duty and service to her country, to her people and to the Commonwealth. To my country, to me. I admired, respected and loved her. If Harry had simply stepped down from Public Life and led the quiet life he said he wanted we would have been a little sad perhaps, but - I like to think - we would have quite understood. Instead, with the encouragement of his wife, he lit a fuse on a metaphorical bomb, several metaphorical bombs, and threw them one by one into the palace and walked away.
I decided I would not buy his book and line this traitorous man's pockets, but I paid for my sins as I fretted, when it was published, about what was in it and listened, appalled, as the highlights were talked about everywhere. So, I would like to say a big THANK YOU to you, Cheere Denise, for taking on the arduous task of reading 'Spare'. For the hours of your time you have dedicated to the task. For the wit, humour and charm you lent to the reading of this awful book. For your incisive critiques and, perhaps most of all, for revealing to us the fribble of a prince he was born and the despicable man he has become.
Imagine in the moment your own Mother dies and you’ve got to deal with Harry’s strop. Also I find it rather coincidental that William and co’s plane was waiting on the tarmac for about 90 minutes and they missed the Queen dying.. why?
Thank you for sparing us from buying this book!
I have honestly never enjoyed a book so much! Thank you!!!
I'm so glad!
Just prior to this, the Palace discovered that both H & M were secretly audio & visually recording the wider family.
The family sat in a plane for over an hour, waiting for Harry to arrive before taking off. Allegedly Harry was delayed, as Meghan insisted she should be allowed to go. Eventually the rest of the family chose to fly/leave without him. They ultimately didn’t make it in time to see the late Queen in time. Thus, Harry had to hire his own flight.
Harry was invited to dine with Charles & William that night, to try & settle their issues. Harry refused.
If I was a passanger, I would have told him, hope you are proud of all the distress you caused her in her last days.
Meg pawing Diana’s headstone: “You really don’t have to do that for my benefit. It’s really ok. Get up.” 😂
I think Harry has built the walls of his life so high that no one can breach them. It feels like a very lonely life. I hope he can eventually find peace and know that loving people is messy and sometimes painful but it is so very worth it in the end. It’s a very small world they’ve carved out for themselves and you can drown in the isolation of it all. I hope they will learn to turn the mirror around and begin to ask themselves about the role they played in creating all this dysfunction. And just maybe there is the tiniest hope that he could have relationship with his relatives. It’s not very likely, especially if he is never able to own his role in lighting this bonfire. Maybe before they are old and William is King, maybe they can find some healing. But Harry is wrong about where the ball is. It’s not in Pa’s court. No one will ever trust that anything they say won’t be misquoted in a book or podcast or interview. Without trust, there is nothing to build on. It’s a shame.
Even more true as I read this 11 months after your comment. Things haven’t gotten better at this point, maybe far, far into the future Harry will realize what he’s done. I have zero hope for M ever seeing the light.
And a further 3 months on from the last reply, Charles has cancelled his tour of Australasia due to his health and it looks likely his reign will be a lot shorter than hoped and William will accede the throne before Harry has managed to pull his head out of his arse and apologise to his family/ father.
@@amaliaregno5282..William will never forgive or forget what Harry and the Spider did to the family especially the Queen and Catherine.
I wouldn't have texted my husband, knowing he was in public and alone, to let him know his grandmother had passed. I would've left it for his family to tell him when he had arrived. But she insists on being his everything-much to his detriment. This is what happens when you marry someone that brings out all your worst and fosters your demons instead of your strengths.
That scene with Harry looking at the face of HMTQ just after she’d passed, realizing his need to do this because he didn’t get to with his mother, is probably one the few moments of real self-reflection he’s ever had. Certainly one of the few in this book. And actually quite touching.
But isn’t it weird how little he mentions his grandfather?
Well he could not look at his mother as she was in France- and I read somewhere that he and William were able to look at their mother when she was brought back to Britain. He probably blocked all that out.
No mention of his other grandmother either.
Just to add, the palace confirmed more than once that the queen never met Lillibet...
"Being as that may be, this hummingbird ain't your grandma." 😊 I love you.❤
Harold has told so many unbelievably colossal fables in this book, in my opinion, he no longer deserves the benefit of the doubt. I don't believe that Charles left out that Catherine was not coming to Balmoral. I am sure that Harold interrupted him before he had an opportunity to complete what he was saying. He is always in attack mode toward his family. Hmm, I wonder why??
As far as the trip to Balmoral, I have heard that the Queen didn’t want to see Meghan. She was on her death bed, so she should get her wish. Catherine agreed not to go so that Meghan wouldn’t take it badly. This, even though Catherine was very close to the Queen. At least the Queen was spared having to see Meghan on her death bed.
Awe bless you, you beautiful lady. I’ve never enjoyed a book that I disliked so much. Thank you for doing this. I didn’t and wouldn’t spend a dime on it, but I wouldn’t have enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed listening to you. Now onto Revenge, can’t wait. ❤♥❤♥
Why would KC3 want Markle at his mothers bedside.. any wife would have sent her husband alone to such a sombre moment. Markle has caused so much trouble, maybe the Queen said, NO. It was the death of The Monarch, surrounded by propriety, and history. NO Harry it was NOT appropriate for your wife to be there! After all Meggieleaks is her favorite game of manipulation!!
I'm so comforted to find a creator who openly speaks of patriotism and faith in a positive light. Thank you for your time and effort.
I CANNOT believe how much I have enjoyed this!! I even binge-watched some episodes!!! I laughed so hard at certain points.
As a Brit, I do think the mockney you used for Harry’s voice is very accurate. Then there were little asides, the long suffering stares into the camera (like when Harry tells William that he believes their mother had handpicked Meg for him). My sides still hurt. I’ve been screaming “So I called my therapist!” Around my apartment and bursting out laughing for about a week now. This was REALLY well done!!!
You say you’re a school teacher? I bet NOBODY fails your class. This is narration beats the effort from Audible!! Hopefully, ‘Revenge’, a far less scandalous book can be presented in the same engaging way. As one of my personal heroes would say: “Excelsior!!”
Thank you for watching and thrilled you enjoyed it!
I've also really enjoyed this whole thing. You are a good teacher !
Ditto, loved it and laughed out loud and just loved the sarcasm and voices, facial expressions. Brilliant.
Thank you for all your hard work... insightful and intelligent... AND MOST OF ALL... your brilliant sense of humour... i was laughing crying so hard
19:51 When I googled “resurrection bird”, the phoenix came up. I found 1 reference to the Spanish and hummingbirds. It said “When early Spanish explorers first encountered hummingbirds in the New World, they called them joyas voladoras--or "flying jewels.”
Edit: So I don’t know what he’s talking about 🙄
🤣🤣🤣
Excuse my language he's a F'ing prat!!!!!
"Don't you ever speak about my wife that way. Don't you dare!" 😄😁😆😅🤣
"Keep my wife's name out your mother f**kng mouth" 😮😊😂
Going to go through some of your highlights that grabbed my attention:
1) Isn't it ironic he was praising St George's chapel, the place he got married and said goodbye to his grandfather, yet degraded William's choice to get married at Westminister Abbey where Diana's funeral was at?
2) Could be stereotyping, but that friend that likely referenced the anthropology stories of the hummingbird could be his friend Nacho, he is from Argentina.
3) The ball he has to make up that hummingbird story knowing full well how people were amazed that there were rainbows at both Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle right as the Queen was pronounced dead. Everyone saw the symbolism of those rainbows as the Queen spiritual through God, as she was a very devoted Christian, saying her farewell and it represented the magnificent reign she resided over, to twist it to link it to directly to him using a spirituality that he grasps to as if it just coincidentally lines up for his life. The nerve.
Thank you so much for covering this book, while I'm certain you didn't gain much value from reading this book, you certainly gain some followers here who love to help support our work. I think you best summarized this book by just saying, "What a dumb book!"
You have such beauty externally and internally. Your profound and intelligent summations bring wisdom to us listeners. The accents you transact in rendering life to the story are so entertaining. I feel blessed getting acquainted with your literary activities. May God continue to enrich your living experiences with joy and satisfaction. I suspect you are a fabulous mother.
Most of the youtube reviewers of this book have gone for the broad humor. The todger jokes. Yours has been so insightfull and heartbreaking. You know this isn't going to end well. And we've just read exhibit A.
I was so happy to learn you are a teacher. I know there is a flock of students out there that will look back and say "she is the reason I love to read."
Wow!!! Huge compliment!!! Thank you!!
Thank you for reading Spare to us all. I enjoyed listening to you every night. ❤
So we hear how close he was to the Queen, but he didn’t mention that, it seems, the only time he phoned her was to ask for money. He might have visited her at Balmoral before she died if she’d offered him a few quid
Harry the king of fools is the best description for this travesty of a book. Thanks for all your hard work, looking forward to Revenge ❤
The Queen favored Harry, and even with everything that he did she still had a soft spot for him. He cried because he knew that with her death, no one in the Royal family will give him the time of day anymore. He truly lost the last thread that held him.
I play you whilst cooking dinner. My 13 year old son was transfixed by your book analysis, I had no idea he was even listening! We had a good chat afterwards.
That is awesome!!!
Even at the end of his grandmother’s life Harry’s only thought was about how he perceived his family were slighting ME-gain.
Everything you said about Harry and his spirituality and giving himself all to Meghan is true. He was only a 31 y/o man when he met her and a very immature one at that. He gave off the impression that he was a lost soul and had had no real mission in life (except for maybe Invictus). He had just finished his stint in the army - what was he going to do with his life? This is just a tragic case of little boy lost who meets up with the wrong woman and what has happened is a classic tragic result. It just keeps getting worse.
Looking forward to Revenge - it's a great book~
Plus, Meghan has 'special gifts', which she shared with Harry on their week-long third date in a tent in Botswana.
So late to the party, but couldn't not say just how much l've enjoyed your immensely entertaining re-telling of this tale. I always find your views so interesting and insightful.......and your Harry voice is just comedy gold!😂 Thank you so much - l look forward to binge-viewing the rest of your great content!
Thank you for this series-I finally listened to the whole thing. I completely agree about self-absorption. My primary takeaway is how absolutely horribly he has treated his family. There is so much in here that we SHOULD NOT BE HEARING. Especially that heartfelt conversation he had with William and his father. Poor William… he spoke those words to his brother in confidence, never dreaming that his trust would be so violated. It’s heartbreaking.
Diana’s grave is in the Spencer Estate. They would need the approval of the Earl Spencer, even though he is Harry’s uncle. Perhaps the Spencer family don’t want her going there willy nilly. They refused her wearing the Spencer family for her wedding. Good on them! 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
Thank you so much for reading this for me!! That book would have made me give up reading!! You truly are a special person!!
Its astonishing he hadn't taken her to see Diana's grave before 2022: when my sister married a chap whose mother died 2 years before she took her wedding bouquet to place on his mother's grave. Meghan's performance at the grave is mind-boggling: most normal men would have told her off.
Meghan not invited to Balmoral - makes sense since she barely knew the Queen.
It's so sad that he still moans about his family when the queen died , yet again it was about him , I did think when he went back to megan she was on the floor crying,,well done being able to read it ,your delivery , and your thoughts , loved it ❤️
Yes I go still whines n complain ur wife when ur grandma died what is w him
She's very patient. She always waits until he finds her sobbing on the some floor or stairs or monument.
HOORAY!!! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!! IF I COULD CREATE A MEDAL AND PERFORM A CEREMONY TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR GREAT SACRIFICE ON OUR BEHALF...I WOULD. TRULY I WOULD.
THANK YOU.
Your last thoughts make sense to me and I read a quote from one of the Queen's Lady in Waiting that the Queen had commented that Harry is so damaged that the only hope for him is spiritual rebirth and awakening. Thanks for your insights on Spare.😊
I agree with the Queen. Harry needs to hit rock bottom and get a real therapist. He probably should go to a secret rehab facility where he has zero contact with the outside world for at least 3 months.
The Queen was a very sensible woman.
After hearing Spare, I’m convinced he needs serious, inpatient, long term psychiatric care
How sad.. 16 bathrooms and only one todger.. Cheere, I've re-watched all these "Spare me" episodes and you've done such a wonderful job. Thank you.. I got the audiobook using my free credit but I could NOT listen to the entire thing. I kept getting headaches from the violent eye-rolling. Seriously, I rolled them more trying to listen to him than I did in all the years of raising three kids to adulthood combined.
🤣🤣🤣
I didn't care for Harry reading his own book. He was just trying to read it too fast. It was wired. Listening to Cheere makes it fun. He opinions and voices are spot on.
This book is the result of Harry‘as desperation… he needs to provide for his family and he HAD to do it… if H had the resources for his and M’s lifestyle the story would be different…
I was at my local bookstore and I saw Spare on the fiction section 😂
Thank you for your insight it was really spot on 🙏🏽
And yet he has inherited more money than most people will see in a lifetime, and has more inheritance to come. Granted, life is about much more than money but he has used ‘needing money’ as an excuse to demonstrate his lack of integrity, his utter betrayal of his family, in public, for money. The book is a book of stories, and was supposed to be published when his grandmother was still alive, so much for his love of her, let alone his brother and his very loving family
I reckon Markle had a large hand in the writing of this book. She certainly put words in the dolt Harry's mouth. Love your sarcastic humour. Brilliant coverage.
I seem to remember that when Harry arrived in Scotland it was a clear day no fog, more fairytales. Thank you for reviewing the book, looking forward to Revenge have not read it.🇬🇧
I believe that they did not want MM to come to Balmoral. It was not her grandmother. They probably only wanted a few people who were close to her there.
People are constantly commenting that Cath. did not go. Well, it was not her grandmother, either. Why should any of them be there when only two of QE2's eight grandchildren were coming? (Yes, QE2 was not the grandmother of W and H only. For some reason I find it upsetting that their cousins do not seem to be considered as important as grandchildren).
When people are on their deathbed, you bring in the people THEY want to see, and you would think her grandchildren would be higher on the wish list (and it would be more important for them, as she had been there for them all their lives) than the spouses of her grandchildren, especially if they have only been around for a few years.
I am not saying that you cannot have a very close relationship with your spouse's grandmother, but their grandchildren will still be closer to their heart, as should be.
Amen! You are a wise young lady. We sure need thinkers in our culture. Harry needs God and to find joy in helping others.
The part with the ornament and the Queen was I think made even more disrespectful by the addition of the psychic and how Diana allegedly laughed at it breaking. As if the Queen was the bad one in their relationship and Diana even in the afterlife felt that little spite still.
I suspect M had already briefed the psychic about the ornament.
Really appreciated your final thoughts on this book. It's so sad in the end how much damange was done but mainly to Harry himself in my opinion. Looking forward to all the delicious facts coming from Revenge!
This was the only way to have this book read, touches of humor, amongst the drama, and truly understanding the hurt Harry caused Queen Elizabeth II & Prince Phillip. Harry was her grandson & bares the responsibility. Thank you for doing this.
Shows a wasted life so far. I think he was backfooted by ER. Over the years, the media has named different grandchildren as "her favourite" and he thought he was. Happy Easter
Dear Cheere just one word Thanks.... 🙏🇦🇺
I absolutely enjoyed your reading and comments on this book. I didn't buy it so I was glad to listen to you and you made the whole review much better that listening to Harry's own voice. Thank you so very much
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the first I've heard the queen met the invisible children.
Your analysis is great and so is your humour, but what truly sets you apart and makes your videos wonderful to watch is your integrity and morality. So inspiring! Your thoughts inspire me.
Wow, thank you!!!! That makes me soooooo happy!!!!!!
Love your thoughts on God at the end and how horribly sad that Harry deprives himself from having access to that in favor of a human woman. But on a more lighthearted note, this is SUCH an entertaining series you've done! I'll be looking out for more!
I didn’t want to spend money on the book either, but I was curious about its contents.
Harry is a lost soul.
Notice how he could accept condolences from strangers for the Queen, yet as an adult he can’t use that same logic for all the people who were heartbroken for him as a kid when his Mum passed?
He is still angry at EVERYONE for how they reacted when Di passed, and he is still angry…
He was jealous of the attention his mother received, even in death. He has always been a very flawed character.
This is the classiest trash talk I’ve ever heard.. ❤ 25:45
Thank you for reading this. There were days I was at work, listening and laughing to myself. Can't wait to hear Revenge :)
I just want to personally thank you for reading this reverse fairy tale for me so I didn’t have to… I owe you one!! M going to miss your Harry voice in a big way… 2:54
I look forward so much to your reviews yiur so funny and incisive - im enjoying each episode. Thanks for mentioning the British people - I am British and its so apreciated how you understand how lots of us feel about this situation.
I am so grateful to have stumbled across your channel! I have just binged all of your episodes of *Spare* and am looking forward to move on to *Revenge* with you.
A few thoughts i wanted to add myself.
1, firstly you are a fantastic story teller and i would absolutely love to sit and listen to you all day over a glass of wine 😂 you are insightful, fair and very entertaining so thank you for entertaining me!
2, I have a theory that Harry stopped mentally developing at the age of 12 after the trauma of his mums death and because this wasnt properly addressed he grew up as an indulged man child. I think "Pa" (and others) never really challenged him because he felt bad about not being a mother and the father that Harry "felt" he deserved. I also think that Charles is very passive and Harry is aggressive so they clashed. "Pa" could never have lived up to Harrys expectations because they were unreasonable.
3, William comes off as the better of the 2 in this book even when Harry tries his best to make him look like the bad guy.
4, Meghan fed all of harrys paranoia and insecurities until he became depressed and dependent upon her. She is a calculated manipulator who loves the attention and was disappointed to find out "her prince" wasnt quite the rich catch she thought he would be.
5, the royal family are far superior and have incredible dignity.
6, THANK GOD HARRY WAS NOT BORN FIRST 🤯
Your awesome. Thank you!! 😁
Thank you!!!!!
I am new to your channel and enjoyed your commentary. I have a MA in English lit and I sincerely thank you for sparing my retinas from reading such drivel. Poor Harry's travel challenges to get to Balmoral sound like a load of hooey. The staff at Buckingham Palace would've been on high alert for the past 8 DECADES, ever prepared for the eventuality of our dear Queen's untimely passing. Every detail would've been covered (as witnessed by her stately funeral.) Staff would've had precise plans to get everyone where they had to be. This would've included Harry....UNLESS he'd been such a JERK since M's arrival that he was purposefully left to flounder. Sheesh ~ even when I host luncheons, I make sure that all my girlfriends can get here.
Welcome to the channel!!!
Thank you SO much for sparing us!!! You have done an amazing job getting through this muck! If you want a really, truly good read, try William Manchester’s biography of Winston Churchill called The Last Lion. The prologue alone should be required reading for all English speaking peoples! THAT is some amazing writing!! Thanks again! Can’t wait to start Revenge!!
I'll absolutely check it out!
Thank you for taking me through this book, in such an amusing fashion.
I think it's safe to say that, you've spared many of us from adding to Harry's inflated bank account..
Cheesy pun intended. 😉
Can't wait for 'Revenge.'
Thank you for reading this so I didn't have too. I love your Harry voice . I appreciate your thoughtful wisdom and insight. ❤
Thank you for your dedication to completing this daunting task. Your snark and eloquent words are very much appreciated. Job well done!
Thorough enjoyed your videos and this series. You brought much fun and comedy to the fairytales, and the book is way worse than I thought it was in how it portrays Harold. He's completely under the cult of his wife. The way he treated the Queen at the end of her life was awful, and he wrote all this expecting her to be alive for it. I think they were shocked at the outpouring of grief for her. I watched some of the footage of people passing her coffin to pay their respects. All types of people. Harold just never understood what true service and sacrifice ever meant. What a lost boy.
His grandmother but OUR Queen whom he disrespected in her final days, he is such a prat!!!!!!
Your ending analysis is really spot on. I too was struck by his lack of faith and calling his wife the Captain of his Soul. His grandmother had a deep and true faith and he never mentions it. It’s sad to think how lost he must feel.
Thank you so much for reviewing this book on behalf of us. ♥️
