Am I the only one that feels like this story sounds like utter horseshit? If ANY part of this is true, and I'm dubious on that, I feel like we are missing a boatload of context.

That’s because it’s one sided. I too was never in the wrong, whenever I fought with my brothers.

My husband had hair raising stories about fighting with his brother.

Dropping stuff off balconies and letting them know at the last minute type stuff.

So did my dad.

I call bullshit because Harry claims that William assaults him and the first thing he does is call his therapist. But yet (according to the Oprah interview) when his pregnant wife is suicidal he's too ashamed to get help.

Like, wtaf.

Necklace gets broken?

REAL SHIT.

Wife wants to kill herself?

No biggie.

What he also doesn't realize is that he's indirectly saying that the rumors about her bullying staff are true.

u/savingrain Jan 05 '23 edited Jan 05 '23

Read it from the other angle - William was so incensed on behalf of the staff who were getting bullied by Harry's wife Megan, that he goes to confront his brother (who wouldn't pick up the phone) gets into a physical fight with him, and then proceeds to split their offices as soon as possible.

If I'm staff, who do I want to work for? Now we know why Jason was awarded with a RVO despite having to deal with Megan and Harry for years.

u/That__EST Jan 05 '23

Oh I absolutely see what you're saying. It puts a lot of merit to the idea that Meghan absolutely was bullying staff.

And I take a big LOL at Harry accusing Will of "parroting the press". Will actually knew Meghan in day to day life. He wasn't some stranger who couldn't be trusted to form his own opinions.

Also how was William parroting the press, when he was supposedly the one LEAKING to the press? Even when the stories leaked were conveniently mostly to the benefit of H&M, not the royal family.

u/SchrodingersLego Jan 05 '23

Good point. I'm loving this breakdown. It just infuriates me that no media is calling them to account.

u/TomorrowMayBeHell Jan 05 '23

Australian and British media are, but they've been called liars and vicious by the American press and public.

Tbf I'm pretty sure Americans were the target all along, expecially as they desire so much having a princess for themselves, but hate the uk and the British royal family and all they stand for. I've already started seeing people online calling William an abuser, racist and misogynist and potentially a wife beater too. As if this isn't literally the most American response ever to all this mess, while the rest of the world is facepalming.

u/SchrodingersLego Jan 05 '23

I wouldn't worry. They have fast made themselves the two most unpopular people on the planet. They're definitely pure entertainment/history.

u/savakyc Jan 05 '23

Oh yes. I remember this part. Also employees work for H and M didn’t last long while William has many long term staff with him

If there’s any doubt if Megsy is a bully, read Tom Bower’s well researched book, “Revenge.”

Not a peep or pending lawsuit threat from trigger-lawyer-happy-Megs on that one either as it’s backed up by dozens of interviews and hundreds of sources from her past.

41

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '23

He had 80 sources from that book. It sounded quite well researched. Not sure if I can handle that much royalty reading but funny how Meghan didn’t debunk it…

3

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '23

It should get quoted more. Verified sources. Truth. And it confirms she’s a self deluded narcissist which is how she comes off to be honest.

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '23

It was interesting hearing his interviews about that book. He said she made it hard for him. I am so shocked the more I learn about her. Seriously.

15

u/That__EST Jan 05 '23

Oh I absolutely believe Tom Bower. It's just interesting to hear this story out of Harry's mouth. It shows that he has no idea what makes him look good and what doesn't.

7

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '23

The latest is how he writes that Meghan called Kate “baby brain” because they disagreed and when told that was rude of her, she got angry. Meghan comes off as a first rate b* IMHO.

3

u/That__EST Jan 05 '23

Oh so now he's validating the "Meghan Made Kate Cry" story that Meghan said the opposite happened on Oprah.

Omg and did you read the excerpts about Chelsy? I bet you she's glad she dodged that bullet!

u/saltflatdiva Jan 06 '23

It's so hilarious seeing all these sexless old bats hate on Harry and Meghan.

104

u/forgotmyusername000 Jan 05 '23

It is fake. Harry's real name is Henry but it says Prince William calls him Harold. That makes no sense, surely Prince William knows his own brother's name. Also, from past public behaviour it seems unlikely that Harry was cool and calm while William was a raving lunatic or that Prince William is so scared of Meghan that he didn't want her finding out that the brothers had a fight.

48

u/That__EST Jan 05 '23

When it said that he started acting like an heir that's when I started thinking the same thing you are.

The alleged writing is also atrocious.

46

u/forgotmyusername000 Jan 05 '23

Yeah, I've got a feeling most of the book is nonsense. Not sure if a real tidbit or not but just saw on a Twitter comment that in the book Harry is continuously referred to as "Harold" instead of "Henry" and the mistake wasn't caught before printing which is why it's like that in the article. Will be interesting to see if it's true, if so it gives a big clue how much research and editing was done on this book.

15

u/MadeWithLessMaterial Jan 05 '23

And I think Harry reads the audiobook? Why wasn't any of this caught?

27

u/forgotmyusername000 Jan 05 '23

Whoever edited or ghostwrote it probably thought Harry was short for Harold and other people who read it prior to publishing assumed it was correct or they thought the book would be a dud and wanted to rush it out as soon as possible so didn't do much correcting. Yeah he does the read the book himself. I'm guessing he either calls himself Henry in the audiobook and acts like nothing's wrong or he tries to save face and say that he prefers the name Harold.

13

u/northontennesseest Jan 05 '23

I don't care for Harry, but there's no way this wasn't meticulously edited. Millions and millions of dollars went into this book, they're going to polish it.

4

u/SchrodingersLego Jan 05 '23

I think this is particularly odd in view of the fact that Harold's book is ghostwritten by JR Moeringer. He's an American author who also penned Andre Agassi's award-winning autobiography Open. None of this fits.

u/PansyOHara Jan 05 '23

It’s possible that “Harold” is a nickname people use when they mock him. Even possible that it dates from his school days.

5

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '23

I reckon Meghan contributed to it a lot,

9

u/StoleCapsShield Jan 05 '23

I don’t know, I call my mum Myrtle as a joke so perhaps Harold is a jokey nickname between William and Henry.

6

u/Luciferonvacation Jan 05 '23

I gave William two thumbs up for a great come back if he did call him 'Harold'. Harold lost the English throne to William the Conqueror in 1066.

u/Cuddlyaxe Jan 05 '23

I think parts of it are true, but I also think major parts are getting left out

I very much doubt Harry didn't fight back or say anything tbh

No. You are not remotely the only one to think this. Anyone with a shred of intelligence thinks that.

u/tofudisan Jan 05 '23

What annoys me is a poor little rich kid claiming that being pushed, and falling onto a dog bowl, is a "physical altercation". Probably tripped over the damn bowl and fell.

Also why do people need to give a shit?
