Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare, keeps surprising analysts with its revelations, with one commentator pointing out the “irreversible wounds” the Duke “inflicted” on both his family and military “comrades.”
“My father was a veteran of the Vietnam War,” journalist Maureen Callahan told GBN’s Nana Akua. “Anybody who knows or loves a veteran or who has served knows that the one thing they hold the most sacred is what they saw and had to do.”
In the bestselling tome, Harry wrote openly about his experiences as a gunner in an Apache attack helicopter during his second tour of duty with the British Army in 2012 Afghanistan. He further wrote how he killed some 25 Taliban soldiers across his two tours of duty in the Middle East in both the late 2000s and early 2010s.
“The true soldier never talks about that,” Callahan added. “They just don’t. Harry inflicted some irreversible wounds with that memoir, and the subsequent interviews he did are terrible.”
Akua also added to the wider conversation by suggesting that Britons are “embarrassed” by his revelations and exploits with Meghan Markle in recent years.
A royal insider recently claimed that relations between Harry and Meghan and the royals were “fraught” ever since early 2020’s “Megxit” controversy, and March 2021’s Oprah interview. However, the release of the Netflix doc and Spare from December 2022 to January 2023 “tipped those relations into nuclear territory,” they claimed.
In the book, the fiery-haired prince said that his older brother confronted him about his wife, Meghan, a year after their wedding, and screamed in his face before shoving him down to the floor. The California transplant also ridiculed William for losing his hair, despite the Duke appearing to lose his ginger locks in recent months.
It has been reported that the rift between the princes could “last for decades,” with the future king finding it hard to move past what he sees as “treacherous” behavior on his sibling’s part.
“The real shame about this is all the good work that Harry and Meghan said that they wanted to do [and] that incredible work that Harry has done with Invictus Games, for example, has utterly [been] overshadowed by all of this family drama and it being played out in the media,” Hewson added.
Multiple royal and Sussex sources have claimed that William and Harry have not spoken a word to one another since Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral on September 19, 2022.
“Harry and Meghan left the very next day, and the Prince of Wales did not see them off,” the insider stated. “With the Netflix show and Spare arriving a few months later, he, at that point, never wanted to speak to his younger brother again. I think that feeling still stands.”
