Memoir By Prince Harry

An excerpt from Prince Harry’s new book was leaked before its release. It contained bombshell details about his rocky relationship with Prince William. As of Friday afternoon, Spare is the top-selling book on the website of the largest US bookstore chain, the company said. The title, published by Penguin Random House, also has the top spot on Amazon.com in the UK and US. Everybody has an argument with their brother… I wouldn’t say it’s particularly unusual. Everyone has a family and we have arguments in our families. The highest arguments I have seen all through the 42 short years of my life were during my father’s funeral planning just recently. Am I going to put that out for the whole world to see??? the biggest question on everyone’s lips is why Prince Harry would want to put it out there. No doubt he is selling a book but it’s Unethical. What exactly will he achieve by airing the family’s dirty laundry ?? The irony is that  Prince Harry has finally shut the door to any reconciliation with his family ever! They keep talking about family values but have both cut off their families.

In Prince Harry’s new book Spare, he claims that his brother William physically attacked him after calling Meghan ‘difficult’, ‘rude’ & ‘abrasive’ in a 2019 bust-up. “My big brother did something no other big brother would ever do. He hit me three years ago, so, although I shun publicity, Netflix has ordered me to write a whole book about it” Harry tells us that he and his brother agreed never to accept Camilla as their stepmother, that he and William begged Charles not to marry her and said they would always regard her as that cliche of cliches, ‘the wicked stepmother’. Apparently, Prince William attacked Prince Harry after Harry told him that he wasn’t in any position to give any marriage advice since all he had done was cheat on his wife, even when she was pregnant. Complains that his brother got a bigger bedroom, because “he is the heir, and I’m the spare” He speaks of Charles as a wreck, a has-been, who watches powerless as his sons declare war on one another. How could any son betray a father’s confidence in this way? Washing any family’s dirty linen in public is demeaning. In the case of the royals? it is excruciating.

Causes of Rivalry

There can be many different causes of rivalry between siblings, married siblings, and their spouses. Some possible causes of sibling rivalry in a married context might include:

Differences in Values, beliefs, or goals: If siblings have different values, beliefs, or goals, this can create tension and lead to rivalry. For example, one sibling may prioritize career advancement, while the other may prioritize family life.

Competition for Resources or Attention: If siblings feel that they are competing for resources or attention from their parents or other family members, this can create tension and lead to rivalry.

Jealousy Or Envy: If one sibling feels jealous or envious of the other’s accomplishments, relationships, or lifestyle, this can lead to feelings of rivalry.

Different Approaches to problem-solving: If siblings have different approaches to problem-solving or decision-making, this can create tension and lead to disagreement.

Communication Breakdown: If siblings are not able to effectively communicate and resolve conflicts, this can lead to ongoing tension and rivalry.

It is important to note that these are just a few examples of potential causes of rivalry between married siblings and their spouses, and the specific reasons for rivalry may vary from one situation to another.

Rivalry Resolution

If one sibling talks negatively about the other’s spouse because of their lifestyle or background, this can create tension and lead to rivalry between the siblings. This type of behavior is often motivated by jealousy or envy and can damage the relationship between the siblings and their spouses.

It is important for siblings to respect the choices and lifestyles of their siblings and their spouses, and to refrain from making negative comments or judgments. This can help to maintain a positive and supportive relationship between siblings and their spouses and can prevent conflict and rivalry.

If one sibling is behaving in a way that is causing tension or conflict with their spouse, it may be helpful for the siblings to try to communicate and resolve the issue in a healthy and constructive way. This may involve seeking the help of a mediator or therapist, or simply having an open and honest conversation about the concerns and issues at hand. By working together and finding ways to resolve conflicts, siblings can strengthen their relationships and reduce the likelihood of ongoing tension and rivalry.

As for Prince Harry and the Royal family, this will be a very long ride! Also, a reflection on family values, rivalries within, and possible resolutions as we take one or two lessons
