The Royal Family

I think the tone and content of the book has sailed waaayyy past what we expected from his anti-establishment press tour.

"There were three of us in this marriage" from Diana was shocking, but made sense in the context of a marriage of convenience falling apart. Stories about losing your virginity in a stable and having a frostbitten penis... are... erm... not.

But that's what they all do, no? They hardly live in frugality. The incomes from the Duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster are in the millions, from what I recall.

Yes I know. What I mean is that they wanted public money to do royal duties when it suited but then live a celeb lifestyle at the same time.

You know who'd have something to say about this?

But Charles and all the rest do that too. Yachts in Spain, jet-setting around the world, dinners with whoever they want. Harry isn't the sole royal with a flashy lifestyle. He could have just stayed in the institution if a flashy lifestyle was what he wanted, because he already had it.

It's confirmed he's got the same pre-destined issues that Princess Margaret had... born into a pointless existence, too blinded by self absorbed resentment to see the logical way out of it. Diana, while coming from a privileged background, only married into the Royal Family.

I love seeing the meltdown among some Brits and media about this book. Especially given the myriad of other major problems.

I read the book and its honestly nothing special. I thought he revealed something so shocking that justifies this meltdown but other than his frozen dick which is NOT something I'd had to know or the fact that he believed Diana disappeared until he was 23 - which, I am sorry but I find it absurd, its one thing to believe that when he was a kid but you aren't really a kid in your 20s - its nothing special. When you see tweets like this above, it again shocases how awful media can be.

By the way, this kid cracked me up:
