I never read/watch anything about these 2, but I somehow decided to read this.
Firstly, I’ve never liked Harry, even before he met that woman. I stopped watching Suits because of her. Safe to say, I didn’t like either of them as individuals, but wow, as a couple, I really dislike them.
Harry feels trapped and wants out, but wants all the privileges, whereas that woman wants fame and fortune, without having privacy invaded. They are contradictory and only out for their own selfish gains. I’m a huge Royal fan, more so of our late Queen, and it’s her I feel for. The last 5/6 years of her life she’s had to deal with a man-child and then his wife, both of whom seem to be childish.
The woman firstly – where to start. She uses people for her gain and then tosses them aside. This book shows many times where she’s done that. She changes her stories depending on the day of the week, who she’s talking to and how she’s feeling. Things don’t add up. I feel for her father. Her mother was made out to be some angel, but her background isn’t all that pleasant; her father seemed to be the one who was more stable. She had a temper that makes her very unpleasant. Many stories of that are covered here too. I could go on.
Him – a spoilt brat. Using his mother to his advantage any time something doesn’t go his way. Nothing like his brother, who seems like a decent human being. He and his uncle Andrew are both “spares” and are both as bad as each other by being brats and believing they deserve the best. Harry definitely has mental issues, there’s no doubt about that, but as a grown man (physically), he could easily have dealt with those issues in a more mature way, rather than blasting his family publicly.
That Oprah interview was rubbish – they both played the victim card yet again, and they did not deal with things the right way by talking to that God awful American talk show host (I can’t stand Oprah). Stories again don’t add up.
I feel sorry for their kids, growing up behind their walls without any interaction with anyone other than themselves and their grandmother.
Americans should not be allowed into the Royal Family. First Wallis and now this woman. They don’t understand protocol and traditions given they don’t have a history.
Easier said than done, but I would want their Duke/Duchess titles taken away from them. Unfortunately, as Harry is born a Prince, I don’t think that can be taken away, but I would love to see that. Given this is unlikely to happen, the best I can hope for is that they split up. Now THAT would be entertaining!
I could go on for hours, but all I can say is that this book is an eye opener to the people they are behind the scenes and how unpleasant they are, how they lie for their benefit and what brats they are.

Having read ‘Share’ this book puts the other side of the story. Perhaps Prince Harry and Megan need to grow up and realise the world is not all about them. How selfish that they have sepeated their children from and loving family and in doing so have hurt so many people. A very good read.

Finally, someone has dared to explore the ‘spin’, alternative reality and blatant lies that the public has been subjected to for years. Much was already known, but there are some revelations. The fact that this book pulls together the proven incidents, presenting them in one place, helps to expose the nature of the subject and the extent of the mis/disinformation and gaslighting that the public has been subjected to. Mr Bower admits that he was not able to include a lot more – simply because he only wanted to include things that could be proven and would ‘stand-up’ if challenged in court. There now appears to be some backtracking from contributors, but given Mr Bowers experience, his knowledge of the ‘dirty tricks’ that can be perpetrated by subjects and their obsessed followers, potential vexatious litigants and his experience in the legal profession, I am sure that he has his files of evidence, has recorded all interviews and has only included robust information. Hopefully other ‘truths’ will start to emerge now.

As soon as I first set eyes on Meghan Markle, I took an instant dislike to her. She reminded me so much of another divorced American adventuress who ensnared a member of the Royal Family, who became so besotted with her that he gave up the throne to marry her. I speak, of course, of Wallis Simpson, who ensnared King Edward VIII, the former Prince of Wales in 1936 – the year of three kings. They became the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, friends of Adolf Hitler, and in exile lived a frivolous and meaningless life of self-indulgence.
Harry reveals himself as another weak person, obsessed with a ruthless adventuress, who cares only about her own self-promotion. It seems that, from an early age, she had set her sights and iron will on attaining fame and fortune, using people to further her own ends and discarding them – including her own family, – as soon as they ceased to be of any use to her, and abusing them if they deviated one iota from total compliance to her own megalomaniac and narcissistic fantasies.
Harry was ripe for the picking, a prize catch, a passport to attain her life-long dreams. All around her suffered in the process, but she did not care in the least. The two became entangled in a folie a deux, and Harry became her lap-dog, indulging her paranoid delusions about her supreme importance and suing the press for every imagined slight. It was obviously not going to end well. Our late Queen, a shrewd judge of character after so many years on the throne, described her to confidants as ‘evil’. After reading Tom Bower’s book, I can only echo ‘Amen’. Clearly Harry is not a happy man, snatched away from his home and family to California, where he acts more as a servant than a husband.
I had predicted from early in the marriage that she would discard him as soon as he ceased to serve her purposes. I can only hope for his sake that the break comes soon enough for him to re-establish a life in which he is not perpetually beholden to her incessant demands and complaints. He is reported as saying to those who do not go along with her whims and unreasonable demands: ‘Whatever Megan wants, Megan gets’. One can only hope that what she gets is a well-deserved comeuppance.
I did not relish reading this book about two very self-serving and unpleasant people. But one needs to try to understand how and why the whole sorry business came about. In this process, one could not wish for a better guide than Tom Bower.
