Harry knows Camilla is an easy target, because after suffering abuse for decades and 'not complaining' about it. She's not going to start now.

*****
Harry's illness of 'back and forth' statements with Racism and the Commonwealth has opened a lot of eyes, especially to non royal watchers, IOW people who only watched Oprah, Netflix and Spare Interview.

Racist, Structural Racist, Not Racist

Security analysts weigh in on Prince Harry's admission to killing 25 Taliban fighters and that statement's impact on security for the Sussexes, the United Kingdom and even The Commonwealth.

Harry and Meghan: Who Shall Separate Us? - National Security News

QuoteIt is also a global multi-media blitz that is now squarely puttinga target on the back of every member of the Royal Family, including that of Harry and his own immediate family. Harry?s self-aggrandizing admission that he killed 25 Taliban fighters is already prompting Islamic jihadists to post death threats on Twitter and other social media. Further, Harry?s rationalization that the number of fighters he killed is ?not a number that fills me with satisfaction, but nor does it embarrass me? demonstrates complete lack of self-awareness.

By referring to the number of Taliban fighters killed as if they were the day?s total of a stag or pheasant hunt at Balmoral in Scotland, Harry compounded the threat of bodily harm he and his family are now facing by also inhumanely referring to Taliban deaths as though he was eliminating ?chess pieces? from a match.

Harry, inexplicably, failed to consider that chess boards field Kings, Queens, and Knights as well and not just Taliban pawns. He of all people, himself a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order himself, knew better, especially since his own father?s close mentor, Lord Louis Mountbatten was assassinatedby the Irish Republican Army in his fishing boat off the Mullaghmore Peninsula in northwestern Ireland. Mountbatten along with his 14-year-old grandson Nicholas Brabourne and 15-year-old crew member Paul Maxwell were killed.

Well, Camilla may not have ?made deals? with the Press but she certainly kept in regular touch with the editor of the Sun tabloid in the very early years of the Charles-Diana marriage, because he admitted as much years later.

He would ring her, discuss certain stories and gossip about the couple and what she believed about it from her knowledge of Charles and his set, and if she stated that she believed so and so info was correct then he would go ahead and print it. This is a very young woman Camilla was reporting on to a tabloid editor, a young woman who had no suspicion that anything of that sort was going on. Camilla was prepared to go behind Diana?s back to give that tabloid editor information, so who knows what else she has done in that area.

And then there was Mark Bolland, who was brought in at the beginning by Charles and Camilla to whatewash her image and rehabilitate them both. It was both of them who were 100% behind Borland?s campaign to do just that. The campaign partly succeeded but not quite, as Camilla still isn?t a hugely popular royal even today.

Camilla Sums Up Everything That's Wrong With the Royal Family | Opinion

Of course this is only my opinion, but they needed the PR to right some wrongs. You and I probably wouldn't agree that there were lies and unfair allegations about her, but rather than argue about it I always try to remember that there are many points of view and none of us really know. I suspect Camilla would agree. One thing is for sure; reading that article I can tell that the writer bought all the old negative stuff written about her.

As I?m in Australia and it?s now the morning of the 10th of Jan I received my pre-ordered copy of ?Spare? on my Kindle at about 1 AM. Yippee!

I was too tired to read much of it earlier, but am going to take my time wending my way through it today. I?ve already read about Harry?s meeting with his father and brother after Prince Philip?s funeral and about Harry?s Ludgrove schooldays.

I have to say I commend the beautiful writing of Harry?s ghostwriter. Now to get stuck into the nitty gritty without the benefit of bad translations from Spanish or the distorted lens of the cherry picking British media.

It is now I expect. However Melbourne is eleven hours ahead of London. Therefore, when I received Spare on my Kindle in the early hours of this morning the UK didn?t have it. It was embargoed everywhere until after midnight on the 9th Jan (except of course the Spanish didn?t obey orders, lol, to the British media?s glee of course.)

The time difference means ?? that New Zealand gets things like the monarch?s Xmas speech first, then we in Aus do, and it then spreads throughout the Commonwealth. And the UK.

To think that as I read elsewhere that Meghan had the book launched today of all day's, it is Catherine's Birthday, what a ..can't say it here! At least the royal family has manners, knows graciousness, kindness, compassion are about, seems Harry and Meghan know nothing about the finer things in life like manners, kindness, compassion or being nice to those that have been born with body difficulties in life. Guess Meghan's mother did not teach her child to be a nice person or to tell the truth either. And somewhere along the line Harry got lost and did not learn graciousness in his life for making fun of that woman in his school was showing how despicable he has become, wonder what he will teach his children, maybe to be as mean and hateful and ugly as he is. Won't that really shock him if at some point in time his children tuned on him with what he did to William. Turn about fair play Harry! I hope in time nightmares really haunts him and he suffers the depths of hell for what he has done to his family all in the name of Meghan and Money!

Curryong · January 10, 2023, 07:48:38 AM

Kate?s birthday is on the ninth of Jan. The book was embargoed until the tenth of Jan, which is not Kate?s birthday.

It is Harry?s book, not Meghan?s, and neither Harry nor Meghan chose the day. It is book publishers that choose when to launch books, not authors and they choose times and dates at their own convenience.

It would be a matter of no consequence at all to the executives at Random House US as to whether Kate?s birthday was today, next week, next months or whenever. And there is a huge time difference anyway between London and California. Eight hours.

Nightowl · January 10, 2023, 09:18:36 AM

LOL......we all know the book is by Harry yet writing styles do show that Meghan had a huge hand in writing the book or the redraft or whatever, she got her word in the book. And if you think that she did not have a hand in helping to pick the date, well, I have the Girls Tiara right here to sell you real cheap at that. Nothing and Meghan has shown her life that, NOTHING gets past her in life when it effects her. This is one very intelligent manipulative person, she tracks everything in her life and as we all know keeps diaries to use later in life on those that go against her. I would not be surprised if she is keeping track of events regarding the Book and Harry's behavior to use at some point in her life. I am one that would never put anything passed her, like never turn your back when it comes of Meghan ever and I have said that elsewhere also.

Curryong · January 10, 2023, 09:51:46 AM

Publishing Houses choose the dates for their publications. They don?t take author?s preferences into account. The book was ghost written but not by Meghan. She would have given her reminiscences of several events and that would be it. I?ve never heard of any large and prestigious publishing House catering to clients? demands, or that of their wives. And the 10th of Jan is not Kate?s birthday anyway.

Nightowl · January 10, 2023, 09:55:38 AM

Okay, I am going to throw something out here as I would like some advice or your opinion on it, I was chatting away with some people and someone mentioned that there is something we are missing in Harry's behavior, so many people agree something is definitely wrong with him and how he is handling his life. He is out of control and it is not all about angry or rage with his family or money...so what is it? Well a news alert about the Colbert show with Harry tomorrow shows Harry drinking shots of tequila, one after another...does Harry have a drinking and drug problem now I ask? All the drugs he *used* to take and on top of alcohol still have some affect on his brain that makes him out of control? Something isn't right with him so some people are asking what is wrong with Harry?

Curryong · January 10, 2023, 10:40:46 AM

Harry had two tequila shots in front of him, not dozens. Those questioning Harry?s sobriety on the strength of that ought to have been beside me when I attended a family party and a neighbour?s gathering on New Years Eve. Plenty of drinking going on there and nobody was a druggie or an alcoholic.

People are way too swift in diagnosing others to be suffering from this mental illness, that condition or the other. It?s a very long bow to draw to say that Harry is suffering from anything. From the clip I saw of the show he seemed happy, relaxed and enjoying himself. As for the Fail, the journalist seemed to be very happy to disclose how much the hotel rates were for Harry per night. Is the journalist envious, bitter, out of control perhaps, lol!

As for how we view it all here in Australia, Federal Govt Minister Bill Shorten called the BRF ?a disfunctional family? who we would be better off without, as Head of State!?

Nightowl · January 10, 2023, 11:18:42 AM

First of all, pls do not put words in my mouth that I did not say, I did not say *DOZENS* did I? I said one after another, that is *2*. And I am not talking about Mental Illness either.....or a party you attended nor New Year's Eve.

I just questioned something, I ask for advice that is ALL. And YES there is something very wrong with Harry as all this acting out is NOT NORMAL for anybody and I am not the only one who sees it. I have read hundreds of comments all over the internet and so many think something is wrong with Harry as I do. He has done drugs, he said it HIMSELF and he has done Booze also.......so wondering it the effects are carrying over or is he still drinking more than normal whatever normal drinking is as I don't really know.......me a glass of wine in a year is a lot for me, I can't stand that stuff, it smells bad why drink something that smells bad? So there and believe me Harry does not look happy at all, in fact he is the most miserable looking Harry I have ever seen....he is LOST emotionally and it shows, he is hurting and it shows and that is ON HIM for he made his bed so sleep in it Harry, and suffer those nightmares that you brought onto yourself. I am one that will say.....*I don't know everything and will not pretend to know everything like some*. Only Harry will have to live with Harry and look in that mirror and see Harry and what he has done.....I would never in a zillion years treat anyone the way he has treated his family, just never and he now has to live with that.......oh yes he will suffer karma when she comes calling and she will someday, that is a given in life.

wannable · January 10, 2023, 12:45:21 PM

Bill Shorten supports a Republic because he is reflecting the ex senior working royal Harry to the actual senior working royals (the article). So by his way of thinking, if he has a family member that is a disgrace, he also should have no business in politics (Bill's logic of ''by association'')

An author may suggest to it's publisher a launching date. It's all over the internet as a 101.

3 years ago when Archie was born, Harry was still a drug addict. He says he emptied the laughing gas cylinder, leaving non for Meghan who was in labor (mixed with oxygen for pain). Side effects: Hallucination.

wannable · January 10, 2023, 12:56:44 PM

Nightowl, to answer your question, again this is all over the internet, 101, a recovering drug addict (or alcoholic) will not take absolutely No alcoholic beverage, 1 or 2 or the entire bottle for the rest of his life. There is no cure, it is a one day at a time, counting and having ''clean anniversaries'' forever until the person passes away.
