I feel we need a recap of all the stuff. It's a shame that there are so many weird details and petty things coming out that it overshadows a quite sad section about Diana's death. That's what the memoir should have been about.
So, last night / this morning I found some bits and pieces worth thinking about from columnists and reactions:
- One tried to find a dog bowl that's so flimsy it breaks when you fall on it. Most dog bowls are very sturdy because dogs (and dogs' jaws) are very strong.
- A therapist wonders which therapist allows to be on speed dial to be called at all times of day. That's not very professional
- There are many newspapers pointing out the contradicting thing that Harry has a a therapist on speed dial, but his wife can't get help.
- A colonel pointed out: Boasting about your Taliban kill count paints a target on your back. This is a nightmare for his security team.
- Maureen Callahan notes that Harry apparently always was a narcissistic, petty man, Megxit didn't turn him in one.
She also notices that Harry feels the need to mock his father, there is apparently also a sentence about Charles' teddy.
That last thing made me think, there might not be big things to hurt Charles, but it's more a thousands little cuts.
Charles didn't hug him after Diana's death, and basically lied to him that it 'all would be ok', the way Charles begged William and Harry not to fight after Phillip's funeral, his father strange habit of handstands on advice of a physical therapist for back pain, his father's teddy is pitiful. His father apologized for not getting him therapy sooner, Harry appreciated the apology but the therapist wasn't good because the therapist prescribed pills (and Harry didn't want pills).
It's all little knives in Charles' back to paint him as a weak man.
What else happen?
James Haskell made me giggle. (Rugby buddy of Mike Tindall) He also fought with his brother and his wife is quite difficult to some. Buy his book!
