Now it seems, and really can't be denied with so many mistakes in the book, the ghostwriter is admitting the line between memory and fact is blurry......so now it's a work of fiction right??

But surely if he has PTSD/PTS Injury that would have been picked up by his so called 'therapist' and treated accordingly :-)

About a year ago he was reported as having EMDR therapy.

It can take years to recover from PTSD.
My friend's been having treatment for over 2 years, and still isn't back to anything like his former self.

Harry should at least have been advised against making all his thoughts public.
Perhaps he was, but ignored the advice.
Perhaps he thought it would be therapeutic to get it all off his chest - though I doubt he'll be thinking that now.

nameless ...........

You are quite correct. Meghan did go ballistic about that park event ............ plus she didn't like being called on the way she was carrying Archie!

Having PTSD (or whatever he wants to call it) would not be unlikely, and could account for many of his actions.

I wouldn't want him at a family reunion of mine, at least not without having a recording in full (visual and sound) of every meeting

Maybe, when Meghan publishes her version of the truth we will get an explanation as to the difference of publishing a letter sent to someone by het and the publishing of texts sent to her.

Neither of them would know the truth even if it jumped up and bit them. :-|

It is interesting how they feel their truth doesn't need to be backed up and yet they moan about all the stories published about them that they didn't get paid for. I'm sure some of what they say is true....they'd be special siblings if they never fought....most siblings don't want a younger one hanging around them all the time at school....but a lot has been proven to be inaccurate to say the least.

Perhaps the time has come to re-write "The Prince and The Pauper" to give it a modern twist, and I'm not talking about Oliver!

It must be awful being so poor Maggie I wonder how he manages to make ends meet now Papa doesn't give him an allowance. :-D :-D

I’ve not read the interview yet but One thing you don’t do is tell your sibling how to bring their children up.

Well, it would appear Harry, according to an interview with the Daily Telegraph, has enough for two books as the original draft was over 800 pages :-0

However, he has said some of the draft was for context only and if it was released his Family would definitely never speak to him again :-(. He wants accountability and an apology for Meghan......is there a whiff of blackmail there :-0

Caroline

Caroline Report 14 Jan 2023 10:52

There is a whiff of blackmail for sure but he surely must know this is not the way to do things. Unless we're all assuming too much in Charles carrying on the old sniff upper lip traditions......

LondonBelle

LondonBelle Report 14 Jan 2023 11:24

There do seem to be a lot of inaccuracies in the book :-0. Perhaps as Caroline has already said it should be in the fiction section; it's a bit like The Crown loosely based on reality. Shame it doesn't carry a disclaimer as people will think, like The Crown, it is 100% true :-|

I hope the family do continue with a dignified silence.
Any reaction at all would only add fuel to the fire and draw them into a most undignified public squabble, which wouldn't reflect well on either side.
The press would love having something new to seize on, and blow the whole thing up into even more than it is already.


Far better to let Harry continue his one-sided ranting , and hope that either the public and the press get so bored with it that it all fizzles out, or that Harry comes to realise the damage he's doing to himself and stops.

I agree AG, I think the Palace should continue with a dignified silence. My only fear is that their silence might antagonise Harry more but if it does it might add to his own detriment and turn others against him :-0

It should be called "Faction", a mixture of truth & fiction!

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 14 Jan 2023 12:31

LB -
could Harry possibly be more antagonised than he seems to be already?!
But I agree - if he continues attacking them, or makes more accusations, public opinion is likely to turn against him even more than it has done already.

No matter what reply the family might make, in his apparent present state of mind he would find something in it to fit his own point of view.
An official statement would be worded very carefully, and he would see that as a "cold" reaction.
And any private attempt to negotiate with him seems unlikely to stay private, given his tell-all approach.

I do worry about where his state of mind will take him, if not dealt with.

Silence is golden!

Otherwise, it will like a soap opera, an episode of EastEnders and that would be so undignified.
No a dignified silence is the best thing to do.

It may well wind up Harry even more but that's his problem and eventually people will get bored.

He wanted out, he got out because he thought the grass was greener and now the grass isn't so green, I think he wants back.

I also thinks he does need some help with his mental health and writing a 2nd book is not the answer.

It beggars belief that so many people are taking everything he wrote as fact even when it's been proven incorrect.
