Or he could get a job as a recruitment consultant?Pross said:
Posh lad with a mediocre academic history, no obvious skills or talents but a brief stint as an army officer, been to the right school and has connections. You need to be careful as he sounds exactly the type of person who might come to you for placing on a seven figure salary in the City.rick_chasey said:Lol it's not a normal family is it. Being a royal is the only way he's ever earned his money. Stands to reason he makes money out of it.

This is probably his biggest mistake. He's now going to be a ginger version of Salman Rushdie.ugo.santalucia said:
Probably stupid to attract attention by boasting war time kills, it will cost him more in protection... I can see some extremists oiling the barrels of their guns, after that.
its one for the irony thread tbh..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

Before he said that it was a big secret that he'd gone over there to fight them.0

it was meant to but it leaked out and the media (I think it was The Scum) plastered it everywhere.
tbh, when he left theatre it released an awful lot of assets that joe p didn'tknow were tied up because of him.
Second time around everyone knew the score..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

Isn’t it all becoming a bit John Lacklands or many other younger sons of royalty. I wonder why I’m surprised by his behaviour.0

Never underestimate the power of the British tabloid media to tell you who to hate.
There was a time that stories of Harry doing drugs, losing his virginity in a car park and killing 25 Taliban would have made him a national hero in the papers

Always wondered whether it is normal for an officer to be blasting away on a .50 cal machine gun, the cynic in me thinks that may normally be one for the grunts and that it was just a photo opportunity.MattFalle said:it was meant to but it leaked out and the media (I think it was The Scum) plastered it everywhere.

in this case, you wondered right.Pross said:

if you remember rightly, he also had a stoppage he couldn't sort (didn't know his IADs) and had to get a bod in to help him out..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

The killing Taliban is an interesting one. It's obviously one that you just aren't mean to talk about in general.tailwindhome said:Never underestimate the power of the British tabloid media to tell you who to hate.

When you combine that, with all the other stuff...
It would be surprising if he seemed 100 percent well adjusted.0 -
I think he must be travelling a similar path to that of so many child stars. Just losing it in public.1

It’s like a member of the most repressed families ever who had a monumentally screwed up childhood has gone through a load of LA therapy and is now opening up.

I think most people will assume that if you are fighting a war you’ll have killed people, the main issue is sticking a number on things as if you were keeping score. I did wonder how he would know from a helicopter but he covers that in the extract. I would have thought he could have said something along the lines of ‘my role meant that I did kill Taliban fighters, I know from the debriefs how many but it isn’t really something for a public discussion’. I know snipers quite often keep a count but that feels like a very different scenario.tailwindhome said:What the papers said then

The talk of chess pieces was also a bit misjudged probably but I can understand what he was saying and suspect that when your job requires you to kill you need to disassociate the enemy from being some bloke with a family and home life.0 -
I think it’s just an unspeakable truth.
Same scenario as gallows humour. You know doctors must joke about some horrible stuff as that’s inevitable. You just don’t share it outside that environment as nobody wants to hear it.
Sharing the mindset you have to have to go to war is never going to be well received outside of the forces. I see no issue with anything he’s said other than the fact he’s said it out loud in no context of addressing any issues or supporting servicemen. It’s been done solely for capital gain.
He’s just totally Ill advised is all I can see. He should have a chat with Mike Tyson.0 -
The free advertising the publisher are getting is something they wouldn’t be able to buy… a bit sad for other books, which maybe are more deserving.left the forum March 20230

It’s almost as if the ‘error’ releasing the book in Spain early was accidental. Who have thought?ugo.santalucia said:The free advertising the publisher are getting is something they wouldn’t be able to buy… a bit sad for other books, which maybe are more deserving.

Scarred for life no doubt. 🤪 Wonder how he would have coped in my comprehensive school. Did the army boys go easy?The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

If that’s the sort of stuff he’s upset by he does have problems as that just normal shit between siblings.
I say that as a younger brother on the receiving end of endless crap like that.0
