The Harry and Meghan fuss

I mostly agree except your final sentence. We should respect her for being a person, a woman, one who has never caused any harm to anyone on this forum or to Clarkson or Morgan or any other person who has slated her.

Yes.
And she’s the king’s step-daughter-in-law anyway.

Started reading Spare last night and it's obvious Harry has tremendous PTSD from his mother's death, hence the big axe to grind with the press which looks now to be his life purpose. It's obviously something not shared by his brother or dad hence the big disagreements and frustrations in how the press are dealt with.

A second one is you can tell how out of touch he is and certainly people of that class are. He puts across that he's just an average bloke, ex-army etc but he's very much someone from the upper classes.

There are anecdotes about public school for example, one where he tells how every lad in his boarding digs knew who was circumcised or not, another about them being bathed every night by school staff. It's talked of as though it's normal but it's a bit uncomfortable really and very, very weird.

I think his opinion is worthwhile. If you read any of his books it's apparent he's no forelock tugger, and not averse to holding an unflatteringly honest mirror up to both the monarchy and Britain's colonial past. He's a fairly sharp analyst and if he's actually read the book and feels harry is a highly privileged young man having a whinge then it's a view worth considering.

He's a bit of a supercilious fucker, but he is a decent fly angler, so his views must be worth noting.
