Quote:Prince Harry is writing a book about his life and how he was mistreated while growing up in Buckingham Palace! I can already see some tear-jerking paragraphs: "William was allowed to ride the awarded brown pony for a whole hour, while I could only ride it for 45 minutes! And they always combed pony's mane before William rode it, but I always had to ride it with an uncombed mane! And no wonder that everyone would praise how William looked dashing on the horse, with its mane waving on the wind, while nobody looked at me on a horse with a tangled mane!"

And "The butler would bend over to serve William by turning his bottom toward me and farting into my face! When I tried to protest, my dad, Prince Charles, would tell me to calm down, but what does he know?! He never got a fart into his face, none of them did because they are all contenders to the throne, except for me! I was always a spare tire, an appendix, a COMMONER that they couldn't wait to get rid of!"

and "Whenever we raced in the pool, all of the servants would always cheer for William and give him bubbly champagne when he got out while mine never had bubbles!"

"Whenever we went fox hunting, the staff would always praise how William has such a good aim that his foxes always died instantly without any pain, but then they would cringe at my dead foxes and nag me around how I tortured them by shooting them into the stomach!"
This is kind of an unfair characterization. Sure Harry has grown up in wealth and privilege but that doesn't mean he's never had any legitimate problems. From what I understand the book isn't about him whining about being mistreated but more about why he gave up on being a royal, And frankly there are some legit things he could criticize. 

1. The putting him on public display his entire life and essentially planning out his life for him.

2. All the bullshit that went on in regards to his mother's death. 

3. How his wife and children were treated.

4. He's made his outrage about Prince Andrew and his family's unwillingness to cut ties him known.

So it seems it is about the whining after all.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Actually it's anything but.

Nothing in the book negates how poorly the royal family handled his mother's death in regard to her kids

Nothing in the book negates some of the messed up ways they raised those boys

Nothing in the book about how his wife and child were treated

Nothing in the book excuses Prince Andrew

This recent book doesn't change much. Because all that was already known.

I had no idea that you could arrest people who tried to overthrow your government on the very same day that they tried to overthrow your government. Well done, Brazil.
