Prince Harry passed his Regular Commissions Board (RCB), the qualification necessary to train at Sandhurst, in September 2004.
The RCB enables senior Army assessors to find those best suited for training. The Board is demanding, and consists of a number of tests and tasks designed to assess mental, physical and emotional aptitude. according to the army..
I haven't heard that; though it would explain a lot. An intelligent young man, in Harry's position, would not wear a Nazi uniform as a costume to a party, unless he actually wanted to offend and embarrass his family. Also the concept of stepping back from his royal duties and fleeing to California for the sake of his wife and wanting a private life but also writing a tell-all book? The contradiction in terms is ridiculous...
What is headline news this week in Sydney is that the state premier of NSW, Dom Perrottet, wore a Nazi uniform to his twenty-first birthday party nearly twenty years ago.
Many people have made the comparison with Harry. But Dom has spent the week apologising profusely and to give him credit has not pointed the finger and blamed anyone but himself. He has said it was a massive mistake which he deeply regrets. Even the leader of the opposition has said that he believes he is sincere and that he should not resign. Most of the Jewish leaders have accepted his apologies.
If Harry would take ownership of more of his own issues he would probably get and deserve a much more sympathetic response.
Besides the $20m advance does anyone know what he and MM thought they would gain?
WHAT could they possibly have gained? He knew family privacy was sacred!
Talking about therapists - one would also have said if hell bent on writing this book...
First, go home with a legal pad and make a Pros and Cons list and bring it in next time.
I mean I understand $20m....but why did he have to tell certain things? I don't need to know he had a brotherly fight
and got his necklace broken.
Besides, in the past Kings had heads cut off...so it might actually show William with a backbone...shows Harry as
as a whiny boy. Imo. Some bad, ill advised choices here.
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.
Not surprised it did well. Some people love reading about conflicts and controversies involving celebrities, whether true or not. There’s a reason those gossip magazines do so well.
Harry changes the narrative based on what suits his agenda of the moment. When Meghan started dating him, he said she finally had the family with his family that she never had. He indicated that his family had welcomed her in and poor, poor victim Meghan finally had a family. I remember at this time how just a year before this, Meghan had posted all these gushing, loving posts about her wonderful sweet, beloved dad on her lifestyle blog. She posted on Instagram throwback photos of her with her dad and how much she adored sweet dad. Her siblings and dad have said that she was loved, cared for, provided for but Meghan later altered that narrative to suit her agenda with manipulating Harry and the RF. Her dad made his misstep with the wedding alteration photos and suddenly Meghan and Harry turned on him and refused to speak to him again. Harry berated Mr. Markle about how he told him to never, never speak or deal with the press. Megan pounced on the opportunity to devalue and discard him as he was only in her way at that point. Of course, later the couple would do this to the RF. What hypocrisy to berate her dad for selling his alteration photos given what Harry and Meghan have publicly done for their millions of bucks to Harry's family!
It is as if this couple both have borderline personality disorder in addition to narcissistic personality- overlapping traits of both disorders. The narrative that the RF were cruel, emotionally abusive to Harry and Meghan was very advantageous to them in their mutual agendas to dump royal life and head straight to Hollywood to become big big stars. This is in line with Meghan's patterns of devaluing and dumping people and situations when something better is available. She did this to her ex husband once she landed the Suits show job. Their friends said she adored her ex Trevor until she moved to Canada and then abruptly turned on him and distanced herself sending the rings back in the mail. This is indicative of both borderline personality and narcissistic personality behavior.
The couple needed a platform. The couple needed a strong narrative to literally sell in order to make their millions and millions. I see Harry loving the spotlight and attention. He reminds me of the likes of narcissists like Kanye West, the Kardashians, Trump, Anna Sorokin in the sense that any attention is good and welcome to him. Even if the attention or feedback is negative, in Harry's world, he simply puts his spin on it that he is being mistreated once again and lied about ie just like Trump's fake news refusing to even consider the possibility of himself at fault or wrongdoing.
He just did this with telling about killing 25 Taliban and his response to the criticism is that threats to his security are the media's fault for bringing attention to it and insinuating that he was bragging. I could 100% see Trump or Kanye West responding with righteous indignation that it wasn't their fault but someone's else's if their security was compromised due to something THEY PUBLICLY STUPIDLY SAID. Bottom line, Harry and Meghan wanted to be big big stars and celebrities with their books, shows, appearances, all of it. They needed a sympathetic story as to explain why they left the RF and they needed lots of content and material to begin creating these products and to have something to say. This is the crux of it all.
So while some of what the couple have said may be true (most families under a microscope have dysfunction), it is also obviously embellished, exaggerated. Just think about how the couple basically sat back and allowed all the allegations about the RF being racist to go on and on. The Queen came out and made the statement that they take this very seriously and the RF set up an office to address this. Meghan and Harry sat back in silence for over a year. Now he comes out and says that the RF are not racist and he never said that acting surprised by the question. That is classic gaslighting and crazy making.
It's astounding how Harry keeps saying that he just wants reconciliation with his family yet continues to basically attack them over and over and over again in public. Yet Harry's knee jerk, denial, gaslighting response would be that he is NOT attacking them. Now he gaslights, crazy makes even more and says that he just wants to help them. He just wants to help reform them and help William's children and save the royals from themselves. He spins it into that all of this is being done for their own good. This is like something a cruel and sadistic narcissistic cult leader or parent does when he hurts but then minimizes, rationalizes, denies it to his kids/victims/followers.
Beyond insane, all of it. Harry is in lots of ways a bubble boy raised in his strange royal bubble and then he met narcissist Meghan who was raised her whole life in bubble Hollywood. She is like a Kardashian in the sense that she must have fame and celebrity in order to feel like she exists as a human being of value. I think that comes from her dad working on tv sets and so as a child this profoundly shaped her psyche to doggedly pursue fame and celebrity at all costs. Harry is the same way as royal celebrity bubble boy who must somehow now prove himself on the world stage. He must at all costs make something huge and very famous of himself and meeting Meghan who also has this driving need greatly amplified this within him. It is like how someone like Michael Jackson was distorted and damaged by childhood fame.
So there it is, these two narcissistic and personality disordered people Harry and Meghan joining together and that's the reason for all the never ending insanity, drama, weirdness with those two. I don't think it will end. I think we will continually see this couple who told everyone that they 'just wanted privacy' and respite from the glare of the media for the sake of their marriage and family seeking out to be front and center on the world stage. The sad part for severe narcissists is that it usually ends very badly in a huge crisis, tragedy because they have such poor judgment and no real grasp on reality in their mentally ill and delusional quest for a steady stream of ever increasing narcissistic supply. I wonder if this will be the case for Harry and Meghan. Time will only tell.

Haha, they nailed it! I wonder what the future episode will be. Will Meghan dump Harry or will Harry dump Meghan?
