I think it is disgusting. Evergreen Emerald Jan 2023 #90

Wow. Polar opposite of my informed impression of Prince Harry. Good to hear a different perspective. keopeli Jan 2023 #35

Breaking News - Prince Harry says he wants his father and brother 'back' LetMyPeopleVote Jan 2023 #86

Let's be clear. Harry wrote the book to get paid. Some say $20 Million. SYFROYH Jan 2023 #6

Somehow that doesn't strike me as a hanging offense Hekate Jan 2023 #10

Not at all, but people are making this into some kind of moral stand for truth. SYFROYH Jan 2023 #21

I think he wanted to put it all out there to set the record straight. gldstwmn Jan 2023 #119

The OP discusses possible motives for Harry writing the book. SYFROYH Jan 2023 #107

My comment stands. sheshe2 Jan 2023 #108

"If you write a best-selling book, you can be a millionaire, too." Like that? betsuni Jan 2023 #113

Well, no, because one ackowledged their $$ motives, and another... SYFROYH Jan 2023 #120

Did Prince Charles acknowledge his financial motives in the 90's, pnwmom Jan 2023 #125

I have no idea. But I don't recall people treating him like a saint for telling his side... SYFROYH Jan 2023 #126

No one's treating Harry like a saint. But lots of people felt sorry for Diana pnwmom Jan 2023 #127

Of course. SYFROYH Jan 2023 #133

You implied that he only did it for the money. After living 38 years in a fishbowl, pnwmom Jan 2023 #134

Well, there was no requirement that his story be told in a for-profit book. SYFROYH Jan 2023 #135

I think your interesting theory is valid, especially as regards America... Hekate Jan 2023 #171

What does anyone's politics have to do with whether or not they like them? Sympthsical Jan 2023 #143
