Harry's father can easily place Harry in a job with a British co and he will learn about business and earn a salary,I dont know why his father,now a king,is not wiling to do that for his son.
so now he has a TV show,he wrote a book,what next?

I thought Harry had a job. Wasn't he made some part of a mental health group? I wonder how productive he actually is in that role.

The King is not going to use his position to get Harry into a high paying job with some great big corporation.

Plainly that would only draw criticism from the media and general public alike. It's called abuse of privilege

Prince Harry’s controversial autobiography “Spare” has shattered the United Kingdom’s record for the best-selling nonfiction book in history, its publisher announced on Tuesday.

“Spare,” which details Harry’s account of his various personal troubles and contentious relationship with other members of the royal family, has sold approximately 400,000 copies in hardback, e-book and audio formats since its official release Tuesday.

“We always knew this book would fly but it is exceeding even our most bullish expectations,” Transworld Penguin Random House managing director Larry Finlay said in a statement on the sales record.

“As far as we know, the only books to have sold more in their first day are those starring the other Harry (Potter),” the statement added.


The book appears to be very successful.
Duke of Sussex hasn't got the brains to write copy for a packet of crisps. Book was written largely by a ghostwriter who took raw material and cobbled things together into a coherent bit for publication.

More scary is PH has gone on record attacking P of Wales parenting of HRH's children.

Somewhere Duke and Duchess of Windsor are leffing their a$$es off.

PH is taking the pi$$ not just off his brother but King, Queen and entire BRF. Aided and abetted in this are the gullible public, especially outside of UK, that cannot get enough of anything related to BRF.

You know that Markle woman is largely behind all this and feels she's getting some her own back at last.

Princess Anne was never in the running. Until laws were recently changed Duke of York and Earl of Wessex (and their heirs) came before her in terms of the succession. In fact those changes only apply to children of Prince William and Prince Harry along with successive generations. If Prince George of Wales sires a daughter first she would be first of her generation in line for succession regardless of how many sons follow.

Both Prince Andrew and Prince Edward likely sussed early on neither would ever stand more than a remote chance at succeeding to throne. Advances in modern healthcare, hygiene and so forth meant chances of Prince Charles dying in his youth or as young man were slim to none. Once then POW marred and sired children, that was that.

Duke of York took the common path for spare sons of monarch, a career in the Force and made quite a good go of things.

OTOH Prince Edward took more artistic path but also has devoted himself to service for the nation.

Well if the King got his son a job which he was unqualified for, I think the public would not like it. It would be seen as corrupt.

Plus what makes you think PH even wants a job? Clearly (imo) he does not want to work too hard, or get a real job. I could respect him if he were to work for a living, instead of living off inheritances & selling dirty laundry. As it is, I have lost all respect for him.
