Deep dive into his book, Spare, here we come. I read Prince Harry's autobiography book so you don't have to. But maybe after this review, you might anyway ;) The British Monarchy is a hairy topic, but as a PCOS girlie you know I love a bit of hair. Let’s discuss everything from Prince William’s outburst, King Charles’ claim that he can’t ‘afford’ to have Meghan live in the palace, Harry’s time in the army and the Queen’s treatment of the Prince Andrew allegations.
Why does it matter? Because the future of royalty in the UK will have a trickle down effect - and inform how we treat privilege, inheritance and power going forward. If you think this has nothing to do with you, you’re kidding yourself.
If you'd like a longer breakdown of why the media's reaction to Spare is a joke, here's a fab podcast episode from James O'Brien that I highly recommend: https://www.podbean.com/media/share/dir-7k9fh-16279446?utm_campaign=w_share_ep&utm_medium=dlink&utm_source=w_share
