The dreadful working day is over, so now it is time for a proper recap.
Harry’s book is not officially released to the public yet. However, several news outlets obtained the English copy. And one or more stores in Spain already put it on sale, as apparently in Spain it’s custom to give books for Epiphany, an important holiday. Some report sales in Valencia, some in Madrid. This means that there can be discrepancies in exact stories as some news outlets had to use an English book translated to Spanish and then back to English.
Popcorn ready? Let’s go!
What do we know?
Harry & William
- William was angry with Meghan, seeing red mist. She was rude and difficult. Harry told William not to listen to the media. William knocked/pushed Harry to the floor. It happened in the kitchen, Harry broke his back on a flimsy dog bowl and William had ripped off his necklace. There are rumours the necklace Harry has been wearing for a decade was the gift of a former girlfriend.
- Harry called his therapist, not Meghan after this incident. The therapist is apparently available to Harry all hours/on speed dial.
- Harry was the bigger person in this argument. He told William that he couldn’t talk to him like that, offered him a glass of water, he didn’t punch William back, despite he could see that’s what William wanted.
- Harry calls William his arch nemesis.
- They also call each other Willy and Harold. #Haroldsnecklace
- William told Harry to shave for Harry’s wedding. Harry had agreed with his grandmother he didn’t have to, and William was jealous, because he had to shave for his own wedding.
- Harry didn’t give William Diana’s ring to give it to Kate. William had the ring in his possession for a long time and it appears the topic wasn’t discussed.
- When they fought in the car as kids, Charles stopped the car, to tell William to stop it. William was once banned to another car with the security guards, where Harry says that when he looked at the car, he could see William plotting revenge.
- Harry is bitter about that Charles & William cannot fly together in the same plane, but nobody cared how he travelled.
Harry & Camilla
- Harry feared Camilla would be a wicked stepmother. When he first met her he thought of her as if getting an injection. Close your eyes and it’s over quickly. Camilla was bored during their first meeting
- He and William wouldn’t stand in the way of their father’s happiness, but they didn’t want him to get remarried.
- Camilla launched a campaign to marry his father and to get the crown.
- Harry was sad that Camilla changed his bedroom at Clarence House into a dressing room.
Harry & Charles
- Charles begged William and Harry not to fight at Phillip’s funeral, ‘don’t make my final years misery’.
- Charles does handstands in his underwear (bad back/neck)
- Charles found it very funny that people thought Harry wasn’t his and would joke about it.
- Charles still carries a teddybear with him, Harry thinks that’s pitiful.
- Charles told Harry there wasn’t money to also maintain Meghan (while according to Harry that was the agreement and his obligation as his father, the prince)
- Charles was jealous of Meghan’s popularity.
Harry & Diana
- Harry consulted a medium to get in touch with his mother. The medium of course told Harry that he was doing the right thing.
- Harry recreated the final car ride of his mother by having his chauffeur race through Paris and the tunnel at the exact same speed.
- Harry took Meghan to his mother’s grave and when he gave her a moment by herself (she needed that he felt), Meghan was with her hands on Diana’s grave asking for clarity and guidance.
Harry (& Meghan) vs. William & Kate
- Meghan told Kate that she had baby brain, leading up to the wedding. Kate didn’t like that, told Meghan that she wasn’t close enough to talk about her hormones. William defended his wife, wagging his finger in Meghan’s face, who didn’t like that either.
- William & Kate LOVED watching Suits, and asked Harry many questions when he told them he was dating one of the actresses.
- William & Kate were annoyed they didn’t get Easter gifts from the Sussexes
- William & Kate switch place cards around at the wedding.
- Harry & Meghan were jealous of their housing arrangements. William and Kate got it all and they had an IKEA lamp and a couch bought on a discount site with Meghan’s credit card (spite Harry getting 2 million a year from his father and Meghan had a decent actress salary)
- The fight was about dresses.
- Kate made Meghan cry, she apologized for it.
- William and Kate suggested to dress up as a nazi.
- Harry feared Kate would take William away from him. He thought he would be invited over to Kensington Palace more for dinner. They didn’t.
- Harry kept his spirits up how the three would get along so well.
- He was also very happy to go from three to four, but apparently William tried to slow things down to add Meghan into the mix.
- Apparently there was an incident with lipgloss. At the beginning of it all, Meghan asked Kate to borrow her lipgloss. Kate reluctantly gave hers but was disgusted by this American custom!
Harry & Meghan
- They thought about using one of the Spencer tiara’s, but the Queen begged them to use one of hers.
- Everyone loved Meghan’s choice in tiara.
- Harry & Meghan thought it wasn’t needed to have a lot of security to transport the tiara through London to get it to Meghan for her fitting (Kate recommended the fitting) and they were putting obstacles in his way.
- He googled Meghan’s sex scenes in Suits. That was a mistake.
- Meghan wasn’t welcome at the Queen’s bedside
- While the Palace never responds to issues about outfits worn by the Royal Family, Harry thinks they should have told the press that the Palace approved of Meghan's ripped jeans which she wore on the first outing as a royal couple.
Harry
- Harry did drugs. We knew that, but now we know it was coke, mushrooms and marihuana.
- Harry felt people treated him differently after William got married. He was an unredeemed bachelor.
- He kissed a Page 3-girl (that’s a glamour model) during his years as the Party Prince.
- Harry expected to keep his security after stepping down as Andrew still had his.
Harry & the Army
- Harry killed 25 Taliban on his tours in Afghanistan. With the technology he can know that number precisely. He basically has no emotions over this, no glee, no disgust.
- During an army training he was abducted and tortured. One of the things that still haunts him is that the ‘torturers’ said that his mother was pregnant when she died and it was a muslim baby. An instructor apologized for what they had said.
- During this training he was naked, blindfolded and they made fun of his small willy. He was also spat in the face. He was locked up with other naked colleagues in the training, forced to sit in uncomfortable positions until he struggled to breathe. No sleep for 72 hours.
- Apparently two of his colleagues ‘went crazy’ during this training.
Things we didn’t want to know.
- Harry lost his virginity to an older woman with a thing for horses. He mounted her quickly and she slapped his rump afterwards. It was outside a busy pub in a field. Harry was 16 or 17.
- Harry is circumcised.
- Harry had a frostbitten todger (willy ) after a trip to the Arctics. This still bothered him at William & Kate’s wedding.
