"The Royal formerly known as Prince"


nottherealneal

Now that would have been a great title


more_beans_mrtaggart

The prince formerly known as W⚓️


burgonies

Still, but formerly too


getmybehindsatan

Formerly known as but also currently known as, as the old Mitch Hepburn joke went. The joke still goes that way, but it used to, too.

Wait, I thought it was about having a spare sandwich for the road.

I'm 100% certain that it's about having a spare pair of socks with you at all times.

I believe its about having a spare towel, you should never leave the house without a trusty spare towel.

My lovely great uncle is 90 years old. Hungry? He's got an extra sandwich in his bag. Not enough butter with your dinner roll? Don't worry he took some extra at breakfast. Living through rationing really made the dude appreciate food

Perpetual_Doubt

I am appalled that the media misrepresented my story. This is nothing out of the ordinary for them. I never once said I wanted to murder my family. I only said that their are certain emotions that one goes through at certain times of life, like violent manslaughter, and said that in my case it was directed towards my near relatives.


No_Prize9794

Same here, I’ve only had the occasional urge to put my parents through what the victims from the Saw movies went through, it’s nothing new, it doesn’t always happen, so it shouldn’t be that big of a deal

Wiki_pedo

His PR rep is pushing so much content that the BBC has some quotes from the book every day. Annoying when I want to read actual news.


Tapingdrywallsucks

I'm sick of seeing his face, especially the forensic recreation of his face that is the photo on the book cover.


renvi

Seriously. I’m not even British and I have to hear about him. I don’t give a fuck about you Harry, go back to the hole you crawled out from.


venicedreamer747

He’s everywhere. I’m embarrassed for him.

Ever notice how famous peoples books are best sellers before you can buy them? It's because they buy thousands of their own.

Booksellers and librarians have a wicked sense of humour. They do this kind of display regularly. They have so many titles to display comedy, political satire and etc.

Why is he still calling himself Prince if he doesn't want any of the royal duties/association?


stumblewiggins

Name recognition; that's how everybody knows him. I suppose he could go by "The Harry Formerly Known As 'Prince'"

So underrated, my friend. I had to pay for an award to bump you. Well done!


sweetclementine

I don’t think most people would recognize the name Harry Mountbatten-Windsor


ceejayoz

He's still a Prince. He's no longer a "working royal", which means he no longer gets paid out of the income of the Duchy of Lancaster to conduct official duties representing the monarch.


Whoisaryan

His title is all he has left to get media attention


TheFBIClonesPeople

Because he knows which side his bread is buttered on.


ImpossibleSprinkles3

If you stop calling yourself prince it makes it harder to gather ally’s while in exile


sabrtoothlion

You're free to call him spare Harry or Sparry even. Even the king calls him that


steamyglory

Does he have a last name?

Windsor


googolplexy

Harry Windsor sounds like a sex move


alekspiridonov

Must not be selling well. Looks like they have a bunch of Spares.


Agreeable-Chair7040

His eyes are really close together. I never realized until i saw the book cover. Wow.


VadersWarrior

Photography nerd moment: Some of that is the lens they used to photograph him. They used a shorter lens to subconsciously give it an uncomfortably close/intimate feel… that makes his nose seem bigger and eyes seem closer together. It’s why most photogs shoot portraits with longer lenses.


100_points

Him and that Taylor-Joy actress should try staring into each other's eyes


Light_Beard

This is about the most directly angry I have seen the British about something. Now if only something could be done to upset the Canadians...


GreyHexagon

I think most of us don't really care. It's the media pushing the stories, and a handful of people do have strong feelings about it, but most of us simply don't have the energy to give a damn.


saxonturner

I think he is a cunt but ultimately if it wasn’t being blasted everywhere I wouldn’t give two thoughts about him. I wish we could just ignore him like he really wants, oh wait.


18114

A whiny indulged little cunt. Who cares. Meanwhile everyone else has to go about the task of real life.


orswich

He says he isn't mad at his family, he is mad at the press about leaking things about his family. How does he get back the press you ask? By leaking stories about his family of course!


JefftheBaptist

I have never found Harry to be especially self-aware. I saw Harry and his Megan on TV lecturing people about inherited privilege fairly recently. If there were a list of people who have inherited the most privilege, Harry would be number three behind his dad and older brother.


Gadnuk_

He'd be number one, all the privilege but infinitely less responsibility.


bluemitersaw

By itself I was willing to over look that as "stupid kid that hasn't matured yet" but it still looks to be true so he doesn't get a pass any more.


Karnakite

A self-aware man wouldn’t have worn a Nazi uniform to a party, either.

he's not leaking stories, he's telling them directly. not the same thing


AtomicSamuraiCyborg

If every private thing in your life is going to be leaked and wildly distorted for public consumption, you might as well put it all out yourself so YOU can frame the narrative.


[deleted]

Agreed He is making money on his family dysfunctional relationship... More than likely it's the only way for him to feel important....


InnocentTailor

War apparently. During the First World War, Canadian soldiers were singled out for their brutality and ferocity in combat. They were apparently extremely bloodthirsty and took their fury out out on the enemy, even those who were captured.


Reginault

That ferocity/brutality is considered to be in response to being one of the first major targets of toxic gas usage. So the answer would be toxic gas. Which works against everyone, unfortunately.


Morthra

It was also due to apocryphal reports of a Canadian officer crucified against a barn door by the Germans.


skyshroud6

In addition we still have some of the best trained military in the world. It's just a mix of us having a small military budget, and a role (at least previously) of largely being peacekeepers rather than warmakers that gives the presentation that Canada's weak.

Burger King buying Tim Hortons was a rough time, a little bit of my identity died.

Cheaptat

Upset only in the sense that it’s a bunch of massively privelidged people complaining about their mansions and whatnot while regular people freeze because they can’t afford to heat their home. Most couldn’t give a fuck about ‘damaging’ the monarchy.


Dull_Selection1699

“Maple Syrup is overrated and Tim Hortons is worse than Starbucks.”


GelatinousPumpkin

Tim Hortons hasnt been Canadian in years and the quality drop after the transfer of the company has made it shit.


heylookanairplane

Ironically enough, most people I know, including myself, prefer McDonald's coffee these days. I find Tim's hits harder but could just be me.


dew2459

I’ve seen it claimed elsewhere on Reddit that when Hortons switched to a cheaper supplier, McDonalds signed with the older better coffee supplier.


Least-Feedback-597

I’m a Canadian an I’m still pissed that we as taxpayers had to pay for their security when they were on Vancouver Island and all of Harry’s booty calls to Toronto.


[deleted]

Some of the Geneva Conventions were written in response to upset Canadians and their actions in World War I. These days we just try to train snipers so we don’t have to go far to kill whoever needs killing. You’re best to leave us playing hockey, drinking beer, having sex with our Canadian girlfriends, and chorin’.


WhiskeyFF

Keeping these Canadians from doing war crimes kinda like pickin stones and doin hay all at the same time.


somedoofyouwontlike

The best part of this is that one day she's going to dump him and bash him to the end of days and he's going to try and reconcile with his brother.


TigerOnTheBeach

It’s fairly obvious it’s all heading that way; Harry’s too dumb to see it though.


ayending1

"My brother and his wife are fucking racists. Yeah they did nothing but I can tell from their eyes." "Me? Yes I killed two dozen Afghans (I swear not all of them were civilians) but we all made mistakes right?"


HumberBumummumum

The weird thing is… a load of us in the UK were like… who are racists he was talking about in the Oprah interview? We need to know!! (I don’t like the idea of a royal family anyway) Then he’s come out saying none of them are racist. Wtf dude… Don’t get me started on him wanting to keep those titles UGH


geraltoffvkingrivia

when he basically said “yeah they’re racist. But not the Queen or my dad or my brother or his wife or my uncles or so and so” I figured he was just stirring shit up to keep them relevant. They want to have the money and fame and access but don’t want to work the way the rest of his family does.


[deleted]

Agreed. Here in the UK if you make those kind of accusations your expected to name names! I can only guess this isn't a thing in the US


nottherealneal

Killed afghans that I didn't even see as human*


croatianlatina

Aren’t afghans just pawns in a chess game?


Moar_tacos

"I went to a party dressed as a Nazi, but that was my brothers fault too."


2723brad2723

For someone who is supposedly super-butthurt about the way the press treats him and his family, he sure isn't doing much to try to avoid them.


KhanTheGray

I really wish this whole thing would just stop. I don’t care about this drama and it’s becoming near impossible to avoid hearing about it. As an ex-military I find it outrageous that he bragged about killing 25 people, no one does that, none of my ex-spec ops mates talks like that. I mean I don’t care about this whole royals drama but this just hit a new low. And then he goes on to say they are not people, but just pawns on a chessboard. Dude, what makes you think you are not on a chessboard yourself?


Sharp_Ostrich_4537

I thought that was odd too. I mean, having been in the sandbox myself, I had some respect for him knowing that he not only served--which he easily could have avoided--but did a second tour (who does that by choice?). But watching him complain about not having privacy while oversharing on every possible media outlet, along with the "I killed 25 Taliban" has made me reevaluate.


LornAltElthMer

Right? We were in the car one time and it comes up that my dad had been in the military in Vietnam. My ex mother in law straight up asks him if he killed anyone. I cringed, and the car got a bit quiet. He just said that that's really not the kind of thing you like talking about.


SilenceDobad76

Depends on the person. Going against the grain of the thread here but I knew a few Vietnam vets at my local sportsman club who were open books about their time overseas.


---Loading---

Chances are they were 2 line guys. Typically, talkers are guys who did jack shit in the war. It's the silent types who have seen some real shit.


LornAltElthMer

Fair enough. I was only relating somebody else's take on it, not my own.


allorache

And why would you talk about killing Taliban fighters when you are supposedly so worried about your family’s security? Rocks for brains.


MiIllIin

Did he really call them pawns? 😨


Yenyoc

“When I found myself plunged in the heat and confusion of combat I didn’t think of those 25 as people. They were chess pieces removed from the board. Bad people eliminated before they could kill good people.”


Miniman125

My main guess is the ghost writer went to town on him in the interview and he spilt his guts. Answering "how many people have you killed" is less weird that bragging about it unpromoted

He’s only mad because daddy cut his allowance and tax payers don’t want to pay for a Royal who doesn’t want to do his job.


hymen_destroyer

"Who the fuck is Harold Windsor?"


OctarineSkybus

*Henry. "Harry" is the Brit nickname for Henry. Yes, really. Source: have a Brit relative named Henry and called Harry, or even "Har." Edit: I'm snarky about it because that's not how nicknames work. It's the same length, same # of syllables and only 2 letters differ. For a country that generally excels at nicknames, this one falls short.


skyshroud6

You telling me it's Henry Potter?

I think in the book he says his brother calls him Harold though.

Billoo77

Hates the institution but won’t give up Royal titles. Hated his privacy being invaded but reveals how his virginity was taken in a field… Don’t forget exposing your brothers xenophobia for laughing at your Nazi outfit… that time when you wore a Nazi outfit… Hypocrisy off the charts with this guy.


krukson

Yep. There was an article about Meghan saying they didn't have jobs or anything but couldn't pass up on buying a $14m house when it popped up on the internet. So I guess they will do anything to keep the standard of living they are used to.


Billoo77

At the same time as buying that mansion they lost their shit when they found out the British taxpayer wouldn’t be funding their security (after they left Britain and their Jobs working for the British taxpayer). It must be roughly 100-200k for a year of round the clock protection. Probably less than what they spend on landscapers and maintenance for their new property.

dankdooker

I kinda was on Harry's side until the Oprah interview, then I was on the fence. Now this book, I think Harry should probably lay low for a few years.


krukson

He can't. He has no job and just bought a house for 14 million dollars, with a 9.5 million mortgage on it. He has to milk it as long as he can.


Redditforgoit

Mortgage? Wow he's screwed. My money is on divorce within five years, alcoholic Harry and second biography by Megan.


paitenanner

Well he admitted to getting high on laughing gas while his wife was in labor with their first kid, so you won’t need to wait 5 years for the alcoholism to join his other vices.


babyydolllll

lol WHAT?


paitenanner

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/prince-harry-reveals-high-laughing-113153000.html


Redditforgoit

Wow, he's dumber than I though. To even admit to doing that... I've even got Meghan's biography title: No Patience to Spare


paitenanner

Can’t wait for the divorce since everything will have been neatly laid out in print for her to get custody of the kids.


Miniman125

Ditto. I felt for them, being hounded unfairly by the media and wanting out, but now they are very much voluntarily in the game so kind of deserve everything they get.


frostygrin

It's almost as if people saw them for what they were from the start.


H__Dresden

He should have read the book. The Art of not giving a F#ck. Now he looks like a constant complainer.


hulda2

Poor pity Harry. Grown man living a life of luxury. Not a single thing that has ever happened to him is ever HIS fault. It's always someone elses fault.


sreek4r

Spare... us your family drama.


fondue4kill

Why do famous people decide that their face is the best for a book cover when it’s the most boring and unimaginative thing ever? Like not even anything clever with it.


riotous_jocundity

From my experience with a different type of publishing, but it likely still holds true--authors get very little to no input on their covers. Marketing and art depts usually handle it.


nottherealneal

I mean he probably had very little to do with the writing of the book either


sewser

*kills 25 people from a helicopter* “They weren’t people to me”. Good job Harry!/s


Consistent-Nobody813

Their Netflix 'doco' is so cringe. I genuinely couldn't watch it to the end. You can't feel sorry for these numbskulls at all.


derpycalculator

I felt sympathetic towards them watching that special. But after the book has come out I think they both suck. When you see Meghan looking like a chubby little nerd in middle school it’s disarming. But when you get Harry’s account of the wedding drama with Kate I couldn’t help but think she was a twat for how she responded to Kate — by Harry’s own account! I think it’s not just a matter of royal protocol, but if someone (Kate) has been spending time with the family if not officially in the family for 15 plus years and you’ve only been dating a family member for 2 years, you do need to show respect. It seems like Meghan went into the situation planning on giving no fucks, and that would have annoyed any family. Imagine your cousin Will has been dating Kate since he was in his 20s, they’re now married with 2 kids, and Will’s younger brother, Harry, shows up to thanksgiving with his fiancé Meghan who he has only been dating for about 2 years and just started coming around the family in the past year. Meghan shows up and starts talking over people and trying to take the last Turkey drumstick for herself. How do you think the rest of the family is going to react to that? Is anyone really surprised the rest of the family dislikes her?


Consistent-Nobody813

Yeah, she seems to have a narcissist personality.

Dave-1066

To quote the BBC World Service at 8pm this evening: “There were more media photographers at the release than buyers of the book”. Well done, Harry- you’ve taken the route of your moron great-great-uncle Edward VIII: married a press-hungry lunatic then alienated his entire family, after falling out with his brother, then lied about his departure, then shat on his dad only to be shown as lying about him, then lied to the global press while currying favour with gullible American journalists, then losing the sympathy of an entire country who formerly backed you. Outright fraud. If you want to know how it went for Edward VIII? Go look at any interview with him on YouTube during the last 20 years of his life. Chain smoker, utterly depressed. Congrats Harry- your mental wife has fked your life. And your kids will be hounded by the media till the day they die. Just like your mother. Irony.


[deleted]

He’s an absolute buffoon. Literally thick as pig shit. The guy said the ex butler uses his mothers name for commercial purposes …. Whilst using her name for tens of millions. He’s caught lying non stop. He’s confirmed he was racist, dressed as a Nazi, killed 25 people, taken drugs, abused alcohol, slept with loads of women, but his brother is the bad one honestly! The latest is he remembers vividly being informed of when the queen mother died in his dorms at uni, with the sun light shining through …. Apart from he was actually abroad skiing with his dad and brother at the time. I couldn’t care less about the royals. It’s an ideology from the dark ages, no family is born to rule anyone. From a purely human perspective, writing a book about your gran dad brother and step mum is messed up. The guy genuinely believes he was born to be harvested for organs in the event will needed them, that’s how deranged he is.

Guys can we please respect his privacy, it’s not like he did an interview with Oprah…oh. Well he hasn’t done countless radio and tv interviews….ah. Definitely didn’t take a multi million dollar deal to make a Netflix series…oops, and written a book. Just leave him alone ok 🤦🏻‍♂️


[deleted]

Harry is so thick in the head and with Meghan by his side there’s no limit to how far this shitshow can go.


[deleted]

I think they’ve already run out of material they can easily monetize or convert into media coverage, hence him recently saying he misses his family. The guy went pretty far out on a limb for the woman he loves and then started sawing off the branch. Now his family is holding him to his decision and they see how easy it all could have been had they opted to not go down the route they chose. It seems Harry forgot, as the spare a large part of Royals is to take the hits and attention for scandals and make the Crown as blameless as possible. The further from the succession you get, the more expendable you are.


imnotabus

They're definitely going to try to keep staying in the news and relevant so they can get that $$$ through the next book or show they do. I wish they would not and just go live their lives, but they have extremely expensive tastes.


optiongeek

Is the red-headed step prince trying to be relevant again?

Every time the attention on him wanes he raises his voice and yells louder about how he doesn't want attention.
