ANDREW NEIL: Harry's excruciating Taliban killing claim hasn't just created a security nightmare – it's a blunder his reputation will never recover from
Daily Mail ^ | Jan 6 | Andrew Neil

Posted on 01/06/2023 6:42:56 PM PST by RandFan

Among the many incendiary claims in Spare, Prince Harry's upcoming memoir, the boast that he killed 25 Taliban while serving as an Army helicopter pilot in Afghanistan will do him the most long-term damage by far.

I doubt he will recover from it.

Most of the revelations in his book amount to a further public airing of his family's dirty laundry, an endeavour to which he and wife Meghan have devoted their lives since running off in a huff to California. Jaw-dropping as some of them are, their real import serves merely to confirm what most had already concluded about Harry.

Blaming William and Kate for encouraging him to dress up as a Nazi for a fancy-dress party in 2005 illustrates his repeated failure to take responsibility for his own stupid actions and reinforces his default position that, no matter his own culpability, he is always the victim.

Revealing that he lost his virginity to an 'older woman in a field' who 'treated him like a young stallion', sending him on his way with a spank on the bottom, suggests he is no gentleman, for gentlemen simply don't talk of such things — certainly not in public. It's just one example of many of a moment in which good judgment has deserted him.

In relating an altercation with his brother at his London home in 2019 which resulted in him falling on a dog bowl and breaking his necklace, Harry shows that he has lost all self-awareness and is beyond embarrassment. As a friend said to me last night: 'If that had happened to me, I would have gone to my grave without ever mentioning the necklace.'

What is left but to laugh at a Prince who boasts of killing the Taliban but gets distraught over a broken necklace?

I heard (not sure if true) he fired the ghost writer.

I heard the guy quit and took all his material with him which is why the story was put out that Harry wanted to pull the book. They had to start from scratch. The story is Meghan kept interfering and the writer couldn't deal with her. The book isn't listed on the writers website.

The internet is doing a good job of exposing these two. I think a reputable publisher would have never let this crazy trash go to print with singing seals and fantasies about giving birth while dancing and eating.

I don’t think he killed them. We’re talking war time here. He just hurt their feelings terribly.

Apparently those pages didn't pass legal. The rumor is they were about Chelsea Davy and Kate.

Okidoke…

Prince Harry reveals in memoir ‘Spare’ that the Sims was his comfort game during his lowest times

“After Camilla turned my bedroom into a closet, I made her in the sims. She went for a swim in the pool so I deleted the ladder. It was cruel but it gave me a sense of payback”

Thought you’d find this interview with Regan’s daughter interesting.

Thank you for the link. My problem with Harry is that his gripes are petty. He needs serious mental help....which Meghan will make certain he doesn’t get.
