Prince Harry expected sympathy after 'Spare', the Internet gave him something else entirely

Following the series of sensational claims made in his autobiography, 'Spare,' Prince Harry isn't getting any sympathy from the public which he may have anticipated

MONTECITO, CALIFORNIA: Following the series of sensational claims made in his autobiography, 'Spare,' Prince Harry isn't getting any sympathy from the public which he may have anticipated. In his book, frustrations and resentment inside the Royal Family have been detailed, including an allegation that he and Prince William begged their father not to wed Camilla.

But one of Harry's most startling claims was that his brother had physically assaulted him. The assault resulted in injuries to his back. The book went on sale in Spain ahead of its official publication, and the excerpts since have dominated media outlets. In another shocking claim, he said, William is reported to have called Meghan "a f*****g a**" during the argument.“difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive."

In one such excerpt reported by the media outlets, Prince William was referred to as heir, “whereas I was the spare,” In one unexpected admission, Harry reveals that he killed 25 Taliban fighters during his second tour of Afghanistan.“It seemed to me essential not to be afraid of that number. So my number is 25. It’s not a number that fills me with satisfaction, but nor does it embarrass me,” he wrote, as per a report by the Guardian. 

While there have been many reactions to his claims, recently the Taliban reacted by claiming that he killed civilians. “We checked and found that on the days on which Prince Harry is mentioning the killing of 25 mujaheddin, we did not have any casualties in Helmand,” Taliban leader Anas Haqqani told Al Jazeera on Friday. “It is clear that civilians and ordinary people were targeted.”

In a Tweet, Haaqani wrote, "Mr. Harry! The ones you killed were not chess pieces, they were humans; they had families who were waiting for their return. Among the killers of Afghans, not many have the decency to reveal their conscience and confess to their war crimes."

Not least to mention, there are cruel reactions to his "whining" to get "undue attention" on social media. So far Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace have both said they will not comment. "It's insane to me that the British press is simultaneously making Prince Harry out to be a monster for killing Taliban members whilst serving in the British military, and yet, also making him out to be weak for not hitting his brother back when assaulted by Prince William," a user wrote. He is an absolute joke, another user noted, "For someone that hates the press, wanted to stay out of the public eye, and moved to America for privacy, Prince Harry isn’t doing a very good job of it is he? Putting money before his family......he’s an absolute joke."

A user wrote that Harry needs to stop talking as he's telling too much of his personal business, "I never thought I’d say this, but I think Prince Harry needs to stop talking. He telling a little too much of his personal business, unprovoked at this point. I understand protecting your wife & setting the record straight, but now it seems like overkill." One more wrote while replying to a Tweet "do you feel like returning to France? I feel like leaving the UK, it's become a joke of a nation thanks to Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, and Brexit!." A foreign policy analyst, wrote, "Prince Harry has destroyed himself, his reputation, and any remaining goodwill that existed before the publication of his book. He has become a pariah to the British people, and will likely end up in exile with the massively destructive Meghan Markle in their California mansion."
