People hate abusers but they hate truth tellers more.
The book was excellent in how it dealt with trauma, healing and the maliciousness of the British Press. Also, I got the audible version and WOW! Harry should narrate more books in the future. He has a wonderful speaking voice
What was revealed is the book has blackmail proofed Harry by leaving nothing for the tabloids to hold over him plus it ripped down the curtains to destroy the illusion that the BRF was a family. It's a child abusing, cruel, emotionally and mentally destructive business. Because of this, I truly believe that the RF is incapable of normal human love. Yet how dare Meghan and Harry stand up for themselves and remove toxic people from their lives.
Also revealed:
That Harry and William were never ever that close. Not for Harry’s lack of desire to have a close bond with his brother and lack of trying, but more because William always appeared to see Harry as a lesser being. Someone to be ignored, mocked, trashed or used at will.
The brainwashing runs deep in the Royal belief system. Charles and William truly believe they are not only super special, but better than all and they can both do as they will and harm others at will.
The most fragile thing on Charles is his ego. This isn’t about making amends but making sure he’s the center of attention. From fretting over Catherines name starting with a C and needing to be changed to making sure that he gets no negative press so Harry gets labeled a drug user. It’s all about ME should be embroidered in the RF coat of arms.
That there isn’t equality in the family. There are those who get more, bigger, better, brighter simply because of birth order, or who they’re sleeping with (looking at you Camilla) or if they know where all the bodies are buried (looking at you Andrew). Goodness, fairness, equality? Love, kindness, service? HA!
One brother can live in opulent wealth, the other in a hovel. But we knew that from previous interviews with Fergie etc.
Camilla is a snake. She leaks to the press. A lot. All to rehab her image and throw Charles sons under the bus. In a five-bedroom mansion, she converted Harry’s bedroom to ‘her dressing room’ when she already had one. I mean, seriously, the woman is soulless.
Kate has zero friends or social circle. No one to tease her about baby brain, no one to tell her that her coat dresses suck, no one to pull her down off her high horse. She's alone, running to Bully when she feels slighted. It’s both very weird and very sad.
The BRF handles resources like lost toddlers and have abysmal money management skills. A father with two sons tells the second one he can’t afford him or a wife. After 35 years of knowing said son existed and would need support like his older brother. WTF!?!?
All in all, properties are poorly kept, upkeep and modernization is unheard of. Truly, the inmates run the asylum or in this case, the hired help does as they want, treat people like dirt, shun work and will burn you to the ground if you get in their way. No wonder the tabloids are full of gossip and the windowsills on BP haven’t been painted since the Queen mother was alive.
Lastly, the way Meghan was treated both breaks my heart and enrages me at the same time. There are people in the RF, her family, British Press and social media who have earned their own extra roasty toasty, super nasty rings of hell for contributing to her pain. Seriously, if you want to see evil on the hoof-- They're in the BRF and Media.
This alone makes it a brutal read, because you see just how little empathy, ethics or kindness exists in both the family and the media they service.
