I was compassionate for him and his wife until they aired their dirty laundry in public. If they had just left and shut up about it, I'd have a lot more respect for them. I don't see the point of Harry dragging his family through the mud further by writing this book. It's certainly not going to mend any fences with his father, brother and the rest of his relatives. I find it extremely distasteful, even though I have no use for the monarchy.

Thankyou for your honest response. However, this thread is about positive opinions around the book. There are other thread(s) here which mirror your viewpoint.

Harry speaks his truth, no one but Harry knows his truth and no one has the right to judge. No one was there at the dead of night or early hours of the morning to comfort him. Such a burden whether you are rich or poor, whether you wear a crown or not, is hard to bear at his tender age. I am so glad he speaks the truth.

Each of us reacts differently to ease the scars of our younger life. Who can know, or judge, the right way or wrong way to try to heal those scars? Harry is finding a way to heal. I hope he finds relief. I do believe Meghan helps in this healing.

In post #4, Lara responded to a poster who suggested she was employing satire. She stated that he was entitled to his opinion, but that thread had already been done. She further stated she was speaking her truth. This was a gentle indicator that she wished a

positive approach re this subject. Further postings by her, made this very clear. Other posters have enjoyed a non hostile approach to discussing Harry/Meghan. A place where we can air our opinions without being subjected to negative, anti Sussex commentary. It certainly is a

refreshing and upbeat change of pace. I don’t understand why, if you disagree with our perspective, you would not simply choose to exit the thread and find another venue for expressing your views.

Oh, I don't know. Maybe I thought that since this is a public forum, members are free to offer an opposing point of view instead of being admonished for expressing an opinion. But I get it now. Some threads have their own censorship. I'll try to do better.

I totally agree, but apparently you are not allowed to express negative opinions about Harry in this thread.

Just to clarify, I am not speaking ill of him, I like this young man. He has been put in a difficult situation, can't talk to Mom, does not have a close loving relationship with Dad. I think both Harry and William were dealt an unfair situation. Princess Kate, who I love, may have not been the most desired lady to marry Wills, no real royalty background. When Megan came along, it was a shock for the royals. This is a celebrity, an actress, not from a a so called good family, of mixed heritage, probably not a virgin.......and on and on.

Love is love, a family should not reject a person that is chosen as a life partner. Her, Megan, is who she is, nothing to apolgize for, nothing to hide, just another girl in love. There will always be someone that want to pass judgement. In the big picture they are the ones to figure out their life together. I just don't feel that they have the need to justify their life in the public eye. They are asking for public opinion, they are asking for judgement. Just step back, live your lifes, raise your kids, that is the healthy option. Dont worry about what the world thinks. Step out of pubic life, it does not matter. Right now, they are demanding, craving attnention, what is that. Why are they doing all this, is just for money? Is it just for attention? If they are happy being married, raising a family why are they putting this crap out there? I hate to say it but I see divorce ahead, Harry being stuck being a royal and the life he led, Megan needing adoration of a beautiful actress. They both are chasing different things, that will never work.

I think this public 'healing' could end up causing Harry's children, when they are older, a great deal of pain.

You brought up a good question, Blessed... "Why are they doing this?"

If the paparazzi and media were publicly sabotaging your character, publicly killing your mother, and you were being publicly banned by your famous family...the entire family and fortune...for the whole world to see, wouldn't you want to have a fair chance to publicly have your voice heard as well? To stand up for your own family and for your own character? He just wants to be understood. He wants to be at least liked, just like we all do. I understand🕊️

So do I. However, I'm cursed with the ability to almost always understanding both sides of most issues, so I see the other side of this as well. However, to repeat, I do understand Harry's need to be heard.

Have you ever tried to tell your “truth” and it fell on deaf ears? How did that make you feel? Did you feel aggrieved when your explanation was not even given a hearing? Did it frustrate and sadden you?
Why should it be any different for Harry? Being royal does not exempt one from pain and suffering.
 
Gotta admit, although of course they have pain and suffering, I really don't sympathize with the angst of very rich people, royal or not. Call it one of my shortcomings if you like.
 
My opinion is that Harry will have regrets on how he handled this journey to heal.
My advice for him, when the dust settles, is to take the path of the person you want to be. I always believe that is the best way for people to trust and forgive is to see you walk that path day after day and year after year.
 
I don't see forgiveness in Harry's future. I've dealt with this type, always right, never wrong, go F yourself. That's what he will get.

Come on Pepper, I don't believe you really mean that. Rich people have feelings too!

Believe it. I'm not denying they have feelings or can be good people. I'm just saying, for the ultra rich, I don't give a damn beyond curiosity and gossip.

I will disagree with you. As his children grow up and encounter issues of their own, they will hear directly from their father's interviews why he felt the need to share, explain his grief, and emotionally where he was at during this time in his life.
They won't have to wonder about the whys and wherefores of what made their father a stronger person while married to their mother, and the tight bond that kept them together. They may even understand more of their family's history and learn from the turmoil. I wish only this for Harry's children.

Why should it matter to anyone as to how long another person has been a member of this forum? Does this mean to imply that older members comments supersede all others, indicating that new members are not permitted to respond with an opinion?

Perhaps Matrix should define this for certain individuals here.

I had been on the forum for two weeks and I was told by someone that "you have been here for only five minutes" and therefore I should not support another member.

Hopefully for their sake, I hope you are right, but I don't think that is going to happen. Harry's method of 'healing' is bringing a lot of pain to his family. How can hurting the ones that you feel hurt you solve anything - it is a vicious circle.
