      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        For someone who wants privacy and to be left alone, he seems to have a strategy ill-suited to achieving that objective.

              And here I thought the world was united in their contempt for Harry and Zelda or whatever her name is. I'm surprised it's selling so well.

              Education is extremely important.

                  Seriously, that's what he named his book - "Spare"

                  Now I wouldn't want to be a royal (not that anyone offered)... but come on, have a little perspective. Then again, he has the #1 book of all time, so what do i know....

                    Seems unlikely that a person born randomly to royalty is also randomly gifted with a world class writing talent, sufficient to command this audience with his first book. But here we are.

                            What if Charles III read the book and found out he might not be Harry's father? Was he surprised?

                            Can one of you guys confirm that is in the book?

                                          @Mik I can't find that quotation online, other than in this meme.

                                          The pathetic thing is that, if it's fake, it's totally believable considering what a whiny little bitch Harry is.

                                          The tipoff that it's fake should have been that Charles would never have shown that type of humanity with his kid Diana's son.
