Well I Succumbed And Downloaded ‘ Spare’ To My Kindle

[Bobbisox1]

As I’ve been in bed most of the day with flu like symptoms, I wanted to gauge my own opinion instead of sound bites about it, to date I see a very privileged boy/man and much jealousy against his older brother ( or so it seems) a person who has mental health issues and much as I thought originally, someone who is blaming ever but himself , throughout he blames the paps and the media ( understandable) he’s pressing a self destruct button as it goes on,he’s starts with his childhood then his time at both Ludgrove and Eton, I can’t see anyway back for him after reading much of it

The first of it is all about his mother having gone into hiding and reinventing herself with a long blonde wig and dark sunglasses, I think he had these thoughts for at least 4 years , he certainly fighting a lot of demons but it’s obvious he never asked or was given advice , he’s just railroading his aggression at his family

He has a four book deal - God knows what he’ll write next - and Meghan is thought to be about to write her memoirs.

Not sure about it being non-fiction, seems to be more a work of fiction to me :-)

It costs an eye-watering £28 in the UK - for a normal-sized hardback book with pretty big type. Half-price in Waterstones, but I wouldn't bother with it even if they paid me £14.

I think it highlights the cultural differences between Americans and Brits -

Americans appear to have an almost compulsive need to tell everyone everything about themselves, the British are far more reserved.

Harry appears to have embraced his wife's culture wholeheartedly, maybe finding it a refreshing change to the confines of his own upbringing.

But as I've said before, his endless misery and moaning is fast losing whatever limited appeal it ever had, and his future options are shrinking all the time.

I heard an interesting comment by a psychologist on the radio today -

She said that insecure people live in constant dread of not being noticed, and feeling unremarkable, and social media is an antidote to that.

I think a 'tell all' memoir is the next step up, for anyone who believes they are important enough for the world to have to share their views on their life and world.

Of course, the actual sustained interest and importance of those views is transient in the extreme.

Moaning has never been a long-term career option.

I downloaded it on Audible (don't judge me, I have some spare credits which need using up). His recollections of Diana's death and his school years have been quite interesting so far, but I can see me losing interest once he reaches adulthood.

"Willy" does seem to be an absolute a-hole to him, but his relationship with his father does seem to be one where Charles is doing his absolute best, while clearly not being a natural parent.
