"Spare" beats the press at its own game: excellent review of the book & US culture...

137. What's not clear about it, Cha?

Harry's a content creator. His special skillset is making a whole lot of money spilling private family conversations and gripes with his family. I wish someone would pay me millions to do that, though I probs wouldn't want to make my family stuff public. Once Harry is drained of private stuff to share, he'll be dropped like a hot potato.

I feel sorry for Harry. I always had a soft spot for him. What he's said about the death of his mother and his struggle to deal with it is heartbreaking. With some of the other stuff, I wish he was surrounded by people who cared about him more than they cared about attention and making money. I just think while some in this thread are very black & white on things, I see a lot of nuance there. It's possible to be someone like me, who sees the racist tendencies of some of the British press and how they treated Meghan, but gradually grew not to like her because she bullied Palace staff, has been less than honest about some important stuff, and appears to be a bit narcissistic. I had a narcissist sister-in-law who succeeded in destroying my relationship with my brother, and I can see some similarities in Meghan.

I hope that Harry eventually gets what he needs, which is a quiet life out of the spotlight. Because until he gets that, his relationship with the tabloid press will continue to be a symbiotic one and he will continue to look like a hypocrite railing against the thing that gives him the attention he seems to want.
