If the judge was waiting for Harry to reach the necessary threshold of plausibility and cogency, it will have been a very frustrating few days.

Harry doesn’t have to “prove” that he had voicemails and didn’t receive notifications, per se. The judge can consider the sum of his testimony and decide— you know, if it was just that he didn’t recall getting some notifications, or that some things showed up that came from unlikely sources, or...

This is not correct. He is not complying with his scheduled time, nor is anyone involved with the case- including his own legal team- trying to claim that he is. His *testimony* was scheduled for Tuesday. By order of the court, HE was directed to be in court Monday for the case to proceed at...

Ah, “a different category”… the posh way of saying “do you know who I am?”

“I think we have to be responsible. I thought that was a bit reckless and irresponsible.” Indeed, as you can see (or listen to) he did not “call the paps” reckless and irresponsible. It would be hard to even construe his language that way- you would have to think “that” refers to a person, not...

This has been repeated several times on this thread, and is not true. The full clip of the mayor’s remarks is available online.

If you didn’t think of Diana immediately- indeed, if your head was not filled with images of that night- when you saw the Sussex statement, I venture to say you are in the vanishing to non existent minority. You don’t need to say someone’s name to invoke them. I can hardly think anyone at all...

This exactly.

I can’t help but wonder if the end game here isn’t getting on the stand for Harry’s chance to tell how hard done by he was by the Institution. Certainly everyone here will want to see Harry and all other victims compensated justly for instances of illegal tactics used against them but he is-...

What an interesting perspective that the media stories could have made a member of the public lash out and stab Harry at any moment because they fueled hatred for him. Those stories (which he has recently confirmed were greatly toned down, incidentally) created the persona that made Harry...

I got a good chuckle out of that statement. Calling herself The Duchess of Sussex is the epitome of living in the past and refusing to join the present. Yes, we know she is legally entitled to call herself this, but come on— for every intent and purpose, that is a job title referring to a...

I guess I’m not being clear, for which I apologize. I made a flippant comment to our fellow poster Curryong that Harry’s description of getting out of the car on the way home from church on the day of his mother’s death to look at flowers was yet another detailed description of an event that...

It wasn’t, and that’s also not what Harry recalls (it is what actually happened, though- them coming out of Balmoral, that is). He recalls that after the church service, on the day of her death, they were told they had to stop before returning to (inside) Balmoral to do the walk about. It’s...

Denville, did you read this passage of the book? Harry makes very specific reference to being taken to do a walkabout on the day of Diana’s death, which is where the story about the hand holding comes from. Perhaps my recollection varied, but he was not made to do a walk about that day.

Ah yes, another stunningly detailed telling of events in the book by Harry of an event that... did not happen.

We got a bit sidetracked with grammatical unclarity in my post, but what the longer post said- and what I think commentators likely agree- is that there are many indications in Spare that Harry’s drug use history(and I am not implying his present use) is substantially more robust than he admits...

Yes. I meant he describes one incident of mushroom use; and he also describes marijuana use. He describes habitual marijuana use from his teenage years to the present.

I noticed something interesting re: Harry’s use of drugs and the conversation with his therapist about him not being addicted. She asks if he has used drugs and he says he has and tells her “some wild stories.” But this doesn’t add up, does it? By Harry’s own telling, he used cocaine “a few...

Is this the same or different RAF instructor who said the story in Spare of their time together was a made up figment of Harry’s imagination? In all sincerity though, certainly that Harry’s recollections in the book are meant to be expressions of humor are one interpretation, but not one I’ve...

Denville, I am in total agreement. I think the individual tidbits- Harry does cocaine! Harry finds out about The Queen's death from the BBC! William recoils from Meghan's hug! Kate reluctant to lend lipgloss!- are all nothing much to see. The groundbreaking thing is that the entire book reveals...

The is the best summary of the book I've seen. There wasn't a single revelation in the book that was groundbreaking by itself. The big reveal here is that the carefully crafted Harry was a facade.

Harry has trouble receiving love in ways that people express it to him, even when those people are doing the best they can. You have the text messages Kimebear is talking about here, where William, away working, reaches out to his brother to tell him directly that he is worried about him and...

Another random thought: For someone who claims that his family is engaged in the game of selling one another out for positive press, it is clear from the book that the press has spent the greater part of Harry's life protecting him. We cannot pretend that the media hasn't known a good amount of...

Final theme that was forefront of my mind as I read the book: Trying to look at things from The Other Person's Perspective. What's so remarkable about this book is that it's Harry's perspective on all these things. We have never been given this kind of insight into a member of the Royal...

Another theme that stuck out to me in the book (I will do one in this post and then make a final post before reading all that I have missed) is how much of the media whisperings have been true since I have been following the royal family for 23 years now. This is a constant tension with Harry...
