Oh dear
Probably saving that for Meghan’s tell all book next year.Wonder if he discusses his FIL or is it only attack the royal family side
Oh dear. Harry will be his most incandescent that people aren't having the reaction he wanted.Oh dear
She just needs to rewrite Little mermaid (her fave Disney princess) replace Ariel with Meghan, evil Ursula with Catherine, William the king triton who says no to her requests for freedom and Harry can be the haddock. She finds her voice whilst singing to seals under the sea, .Probably saving that for Meghan’s tell all book next year.
Maybe he thinks that the official release will make things better. Maybe some of the stories won't sound so bad in context. He was only meant to be doing 2 interviews but he's got a couple more lined up for next week now so he's obviously coming out fighting. I think if he can't manage to get his side across next week and the ridicule continues then he's going to take it very badly. Really, once you start to be ridiculed like this it's very hard to turn it around. Jimmy Fallon has another sketch about him and his frozen todger so Americans are laughing at him too. His family must be furious with him and at the same time sad to see what a figure of ridicule he's made himself into.Oh dear. Harry will be his most incandescent that people aren't having the reaction he wanted.
He was probably bad enough to be around but becoming a full on figure of ridicule will probably make him spiral.
It seems too late to turn it around, even if stuff doesn't look so bad in context or without a dodgy translation I doubt many will re-evaluate.Maybe some of the stories won't sound so bad in context.

The leak ruined their pr strategy for the book.The problem with this leak is that even once the book is out on Tuesday and more context is given to some of the stories, they're all already out there now. I can't see the press issuing article after article saying "oh actually what Harry meant was this, not what we reported last week" can you?
I'm interested to see how these interviews go down now, obviously they had been set up to be delivered BEFORE people knew what was in the book, kinda makes them seem pointless now.
Also, and sorry for the essay, it's very interesting that the William/Harry/Dog bowl fight was the "leaked" extract to the Guardian. Had the Spanish version not been on sale and leaked out, the fight story and the Nazi costume being Will and Kate's idea would have been the only ones out in the public domain all week. You can't tell me that's a coincidence. I stand by the fact that it was part of the strategy to leak them out and they chose the two extracts that made W&K look bad. Shame it didn't quite work out how he planned....
That’s going to hurt Lady Sarah Chatto. She’s close with the Princes - I mean she knew what he mum was like but to have it in print like this?I've just seen there that's he's written about Princess Margaret that she was cold, could kill a house plant with one scowl, gave him a biro for Christmas and that he felt nothing for her and stayed out of her way. I'm sure Margaret was difficult - that's well documented - and I'm not surprised to hear she hadn't got much of a relationship with Harry but she's dead now and she can't have had much impact on Harry even when she was alive so this seems unnecessary. The Queen would have hated it and it's not nice for her children to read. What was the point of including it at all, if not to add another petty grievance to the list. It's really scraping the bottom of the barrel for content.
It does seem irredeemable at this stage. Even if you account for the tabloids picking the most sensational bits and the dodgy translations, Harry comes across as spoilt, petty and jealous. That's not a good look.It seems too late to turn it around, even if stuff doesn't look so bad in context or without a dodgy translation I doubt many will re-evaluate.
It seems to be a book full of everything that's ever caused him to feel annoyed for a few seconds. This is not how you serve revenge.
It's just so unnecessary. Margaret's behaviour wouldn't have affected Harry in the same way as the behaviour of his immediate family. She had her own issues and she's dead. What's the point of slating her now? Even if I felt the need to write a book bashing my family, I wouldn't include a great aunt who wasn't very nice to me when I was young. I doubt she treated him any differently to the rest of the youngsters around at the time.That’s going to hurt Lady Sarah Chatto.

I wonder how he expected to release this with the Queen alive. These stories would have finished her off.
To be fair, in those the Thing most likely to get you executed for treason was being from a line with a better claim to the crown. Henry VIII had Margaret Pole (and her son) executed basically just for being Plantagenets.Lady Jane Grey and her husband were beheaded for treason, potentially he may have known a lot more about the attempt to bypass Mary I though they were technically pawns in the situation. Back then you had some form of relationship/friendship with a traitor then you needed to be wary.
