In a recent interview on GMB, author and commentator Tom Bauer expressed his disapproval of Meghan Markle’s influence over Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare.<\/p>\n
He went as far as accusing the former suit star of exploiting her royal title for personal gain.<\/p>\n
Despite Prince Harry’s claim to retain his princely title, Bauer insisted that it is Meghan who is truly in control of the book’s agenda.<\/p>\n
He boldly stated that the memoir is essentially Meghan’s, suggesting that she has dictated its content.<\/p>\n
However, Tessa Dumlop and Ed Balls challenged Bauer’s assertions, pointing out that the book is authored by Harry himself, not Meghan.<\/p>\n
Undeterred, Bauer stood by his claims, questioning whether Harry had even read the book, as he believes it to be ghostwritten.<\/p>\n
In contrast, he lauded Meghan’s intelligence and sophistication, emphasizing her active involvement in the project.<\/p>\n
Bauer also claimed that Queen Elizabeth II saw through Meghan’s intentions, despite Dunlop’s counterargument that the late monarch wanted Harry and Meghan to retain their royal titles.<\/p>\n
He further noted that other members of the royal family, including William, Charles, and Diana’s brother Charles Spencer, were also skeptical of Meghan’s motivations.<\/p>\n
Jonathan Sacerdoti, another expert, criticized Prince Harry’s choice of title for his memoir, suggesting that it seemed to tap into the trend of victimhood.<\/p>\n
Sacerdoti expressed hope that, given Harry’s therapy and new life away from royal duties, he would have moved on and chosen a different title.<\/p>\n
He found the chosen title, “Spare,” to be catchy but ultimately sad, as it perpetuates the narrative of victimhood.<\/p>\n
Sacerdoti speculated that Harry may be trying to appeal to a specific audience with this choice.<\/p>\n
Contrary to the title’s implications, Sacerdoti argued that Harry was not treated as a spare in the eyes of many, even during his time as a working royal.<\/p>\n
He highlighted Harry’s popularity and the respect he garnered for his military service.<\/p>\n
Harry’s role allowed him to pursue his interests, enjoy a vibrant social life, and still fulfill his responsibilities as a working member of the royal family.<\/p>\n
Sacerdoti noted that Harry had more freedom to express his personality compared to his brother William, who carried the weight of future kingship.<\/p>\n
Harry had a defined and rewarding role within the royal family, rather than being relegated to a spare position.<\/p>\n
Sacerdoti raised the question of whether Harry now feels like a spare in his new life.<\/p>\n
He often appears to play second fiddle to his actress wife, Meghan, and her various ambitions, such as hosting audio programs, writing picture books, and potentially entering politics in America.<\/p>\n
In the public eye, Harry sometimes appears as a supporting character, commenting on hairstyles or engaging in light-hearted antics outside a window.<\/p>\n
Additionally, expert Tom Slater criticized the paradoxical nature of Harry’s private life.<\/p>\n
Despite seeking privacy, Harry frequently speaks out about his personal experiences, positioning himself as a victim of the therapeutic era.<\/p>\n
Slater expressed concern that this portrayal is detrimental to both Harry and the royal family, as it contradicts their efforts to move on and establish a private life.<\/p>\n
He emphasized the irony of constantly discussing one’s experiences in the media and releasing ghost-written biographies while aiming for privacy.<\/p>\n
In conclusion, Meghan Markle’s influence over Prince Harry’s memoir has sparked controversy and accusations of exploiting her royal title.<\/p>\n
While some argue that Harry’s book is solely his own, others maintain that Meghan has dictated its agenda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
