Not so cheerful: Prince Harry Didn’t Fully Understand The Implications Of ‘Spare’ When He…
Prince Harry’s ‘Spare’ was a massive success, as most people could have easily predicted, but the implications was not so cheerful.
Most people saw the book as Harry doing a literal hit job on his own family, and the dust was yet to settle before Harry more or less felt the wrath of said family.
For one thing, King Charles asked him and his beloved wife to move out of Frogmore Cottage, even though they got it as a wedding present from Queen Elizabeth the II. That’s right!
As of right now, Harry and Meghan have no residence in the UK and can only choose to stay as tenants in one of the grand royal palaces whenever they’re visiting, providing they give a heads up first. It’s been two years since ‘Spare’ and most of the dust has settled, but a source believes Harry hasn’t yet grasped the full repercussions of publishing the book.
Vanity Fair Source Says Prince Harry Published Memoir Without Weighing the “Gravity” of the Outcome
By the time Harry released ‘Spare,’ one thing was certain: he still believed that his relationship with his family can be fixed. But post-‘Spare?’ No one knows exactly what his present thoughts on reconciliation are.
The thing is, if you asked a particular Vanity Fair source, they’ll tell you that Harry hasn’t fully “absorbed the gravity of what it would mean to sell millions of copies of a tell-all book about a famously insular and circumspect family in the middle of a years-long public relations crisis.”
The insider added, “The power of the written word, and the power of the narrative… I don’t know if that’s something he understood while he was doing it.”
According to Harry, ‘Spare’ was his truth and the full account of the Prince he was brought into the world as to the man he’d become.
While there were some tender recollections of his youth growing up as part of the royal family, the parts where he critiqued their ways and traditions seemed to stand out sharply for more people.
Like when he said big brother Prince William hit him and called him by a different name. That part crept its way into a Late Night joke. Or when he described his father as not being very affectionate. Or called his stepmom Queen Camilla a, quote, “wicked stepmother.”
