I think he left the Christmas Ornament story in out of spite. He had been to the funeral with Meghan and he did not get the things he wanted. Meghan was not allowed at the Queens deathbed at the Queens request and the family must have been furious with them for delaying the plane. I think Harry and Meghan were also taken out of her will. So the story was a final dig at his beloved Grandmother, his Queen and Commander in Chief. I don’t know why this story did not make it into the general press as I think it is the most terrible thing in the whole book. What a disgusting couple these two are. I hope they never return to the UK.

I'd like to thank Harold for explaining to every last one of us why his family has gone "no contact." Without his gift of revealing himself to be an obnoxious, petty AF, entitled (frostbite damaged) todger the world would have wondered why they're so thoroughly exhausted of dealing with you. Thank you Cheere, you really made this so much more fun than Harold intended.

Here’s the thing about Charles’ request at the end that M not come: Assuming that’s even true (big ask), Harry needs to cut his far some slack when Charles’ own mother was dying. There was an awful lot on Charles’ shoulders and it’s incredibly bratty of Harry to assume that he was the only person in that situation who was having Big Feelings and struggling with how to deal.

I'm so glad that you spent all these hours telling us about this book. I would never have purchased this book but after finding you reading a couple of clips, well, I was addicted. You are so funny when you use your Harry voice. You are a wonderful story teller. Thank you!

5:00: I’m literally shocked she didn’t drape herself over the headstone, sobbing dramatically.

Princess Anne probably told KC..That woman better not dare show up at my dying mothers bedside!

“Shall we ponder for three paragraphs why I was crying” your response “You are at a funeral, it could be that”. We are all so thankful.

I'm still convinced that the stories of the ghostwriter quitting because Rachel wouldn't stop interfering are true, he took the money and kept his mouth shut and those two wrote this load of utter rubbish. It's so full of Meganese and over the top Disney storylines not to have her claws all over it.

You're the wittiest young lady! Most people don't have a sense of humor as you do! It has been a pleasure watching your videos!! You truly know how to captivate your audience! Can't wait for the next book you plan on reviewing!

Even with a ghostwriter, I feel that Megan had a HUGE hand in writing this book. It’s penned in such a melodramatic style that it just sounds like her. I mean, look at that children’s book she wrote. It’s amusing how try-hard she comes across. And, tbh, I don’t think Harry could string enough sentences together to make a comprehensible paragraph, let alone a book. The man had to assemble a team to write a simple proposal for the queen…because, if left alone to compose it, it would have read like a Dick and Jane reader. I feel Harry told stories to Megan. She wrote them out, adding whatever she wanted to…and then it was handed to the ghostwriter. But I feel Megan was the last person to proofread/edit it. I would be stunned if that wasn’t the case. I can’t envision her letting that book go to press without her reading and approving it first.

I think 90% of the book was disrespectful to just about everyone mentioned… except for the Duchess of Narcissism, whom he portrays as perfect and the second coming of his mother ( which is often creepy). I also wonder how much of the story was true, how much he invented in his drug addled mind. Thank you for doing all this work, because I sure wasn’t going to read it myself.

The Queen had a special relationship with all her grandkids. Peter was her fav coz he is much like his mother. William was the closest to her coz the future of her work and family was in his hands and she had weekly dinner with him since the age of 7 (famously including the night before Harry´s wedding). She and Prince Philip were proper grandparents to Louise and James and got to babysit them and play grandparents coz they came soo late in their lives when they had the time to be grandparents. She shared her love of horses and used to have riding dates with Zara.

The fact that just harry shared a special relationship with HLMTQ makes what he & his first wife did to her even more disgusting. I didn't think I could like them any less, but here we are. Thank you for your reading & insightful commentary. Not sure if I could have read this one without lighting it on fire in disgust.

"Being as that may be, this hummingbird ain't your grandma." 😊 I love you.❤

…your assessment of the book is 100% right!….your uploads are very well done….! Thank you!

The family knew they were likely recording for Netflix and Meghan would have a nice chapter on the death of the Queen in her book if she was invited to go. How sick that she felt entitled to be at the deathbed of the late and loved HMTQ! It's unbelievable how little compassion they have for their grieving family members to make her death even about them!

Why on Earth would Harry think Megan needed a moment alone at Diana's grave? She never met her. If I married a person whose parent had passed before I ever met my spouse, I would go visit with my spouse, but I would never feel a need to grieve or pay respects by myself. I would have never met the parent. It would be like taking a private moment in a cemetary for a random, complete stranger. This feels quite disrespectful and, frankly, fake to me.

Meg pawing Diana’s headstone: “You really don’t have to do that for my benefit. It’s really ok. Get up.” 😂

The way you were talking about God in thus video was really comforting to me. You speak with such conviction and from such a good place. I’m going through a very challenging time with medical issues, and that was really nice to hear. I’ve been listening to you just to be entertained about the silliness of Harry, but that was unexpectedly very good for my heart. Thank you

This book is unreadable/unlistenable without your commentary and literary criticism-you’re fabulous! Looking forward to listening to your reading of Tom Bower’s revenge.

I think Harry has built the walls of his life so high that no one can breach them. It feels like a very lonely life. I hope he can eventually find peace and know that loving people is messy and sometimes painful but it is so very worth it in the end. It’s a very small world they’ve carved out for themselves and you can drown in the isolation of it all. I hope they will learn to turn the mirror around and begin to ask themselves about the role they played in creating all this dysfunction. And just maybe there is the tiniest hope that he could have relationship with his relatives. It’s not very likely, especially if he is never able to own his role in lighting this bonfire. Maybe before they are old and William is King, maybe they can find some healing. But Harry is wrong about where the ball is. It’s not in Pa’s court. No one will ever trust that anything they say won’t be misquoted in a book or podcast or interview. Without trust, there is nothing to build on. It’s a shame.

Our hero thank you for all you do ❤️❤️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Camilla was already up there, Sophie went with Edward because the Queen absolutely adored Sophie, and I don't think Catherine would had wanted to go, the three kids had started school that week and I think she would had wanted to be with them and explain that Gam Gam was gone and what would happen next. So Harry using the 'no wives' reason is a bit hollow imo, if anything William probably pulled rank and forbid her to fly with them, so Harry threw a strope until William was all "We're leaving without you, find your own way up"

19:51 When I googled “resurrection bird”, the phoenix came up. I found 1 reference to the Spanish and hummingbirds. It said “When early Spanish explorers first encountered hummingbirds in the New World, they called them joyas voladoras--or "flying jewels.” Edit: So I don’t know what he’s talking about 🙄

I have honestly never enjoyed a book so much! Thank you!!!

"Don't you ever speak about my wife that way. Don't you dare!" 😄😁😆😅🤣

Can you imagine how Charles must’ve been feeling while Harry was shouting at him because Meghan couldn’t come. Charles’s mother was dying and he was going to become king, emotions were obviously running high and Harry didn’t help one bit. He could’ve accepted it and actually asked his dad if he was ok and whether he needed anything.

He couldn't stop thinking of the woman who 3 days before she died and asked him to come to Balmoral he declined... Just like he wanted to get off of the phone with his mum and go back to playing the night she died....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Awe bless you, you beautiful lady. I’ve never enjoyed a book that I disliked so much. Thank you for doing this. I didn’t and wouldn’t spend a dime on it, but I wouldn’t have enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed listening to you. Now onto Revenge, can’t wait. ❤♥❤♥

Thank you for sparing us from buying this book!

I'm so comforted to find a creator who openly speaks of patriotism and faith in a positive light. Thank you for your time and effort.

Imagine in the moment your own Mother dies and you’ve got to deal with Harry’s strop. Also I find it rather coincidental that William and co’s plane was waiting on the tarmac for about 90 minutes and they missed the Queen dying.. why?

If I was a passanger, I would have told him, hope you are proud of all the distress you caused her in her last days.

That scene with Harry looking at the face of HMTQ just after she’d passed, realizing his need to do this because he didn’t get to with his mother, is probably one the few moments of real self-reflection he’s ever had. Certainly one of the few in this book. And actually quite touching. But isn’t it weird how little he mentions his grandfather?

Harry kept insisting Meghan come anyway. That's what help the plane up. Also the Queen asked Harry to come visit her 2 days before she died but he didn't go.

Harold has told so many unbelievably colossal fables in this book, in my opinion, he no longer deserves the benefit of the doubt. I don't believe that Charles left out that Catherine was not coming to Balmoral. I am sure that Harold interrupted him before he had an opportunity to complete what he was saying. He is always in attack mode toward his family. Hmm, I wonder why??

Harry the king of fools is the best description for this travesty of a book. Thanks for all your hard work, looking forward to Revenge ❤

Even at the end of his grandmother’s life Harry’s only thought was about how he perceived his family were slighting ME-gain.

Why should William have responded to Harry? After all the crap Harry and Megan had done. I would have ignored him too.

Queen Elizabeth was our Queen the whole of my life until September last. She gave the whole of her long life to duty and service to her country, to her people and to the Commonwealth. To my country, to me. I admired, respected and loved her. If Harry had simply stepped down from Public Life and led the quiet life he said he wanted we would have been a little sad perhaps, but - I like to think - we would have quite understood. Instead, with the encouragement of his wife, he lit a fuse on a metaphorical bomb, several metaphorical bombs, and threw them one by one into the palace and walked away. I decided I would not buy his book and line this traitorous man's pockets, but I paid for my sins as I fretted, when it was published, about what was in it and listened, appalled, as the highlights were talked about everywhere. So, I would like to say a big THANK YOU to you, Cheere Denise, for taking on the arduous task of reading 'Spare'. For the hours of your time you have dedicated to the task. For the wit, humour and charm you lent to the reading of this awful book. For your incisive critiques and, perhaps most of all, for revealing to us the fribble of a prince he was born and the despicable man he has become.

Why on earth did he think The Queen would want MM anywhere near her in her dying moments after all that had happened. The Queen had spoken to Meghan a handful of times in all up, and I doubt they would have been in-depth conversations. She'd known Kate for at least 10yearsT Harry is as thick as 2 planks. Especially when we now know the entire time, he was dithering around, he did speak to William and his father and was fighting with them over Meghan coming. Thats why he missed the family plane. And then all the underhanded tricks they got up to in the lead up to the funeral. Harry last saw the Queen just before the Invictus Games and the next day he revealed all about the meeting with Gayle King. That's how much he thought of granny and their "special relationship"

The queen actually didn’t want Meghan there in her last moments of her life

He's amazingly self-indulgent, fantastically unintelligent and unusually unaware.

I wouldn't have texted my husband, knowing he was in public and alone, to let him know his grandmother had passed. I would've left it for his family to tell him when he had arrived. But she insists on being his everything-much to his detriment. This is what happens when you marry someone that brings out all your worst and fosters your demons instead of your strengths.

Just prior to this, the Palace discovered that both H & M were secretly audio & visually recording the wider family. The family sat in a plane for over an hour, waiting for Harry to arrive before taking off. Allegedly Harry was delayed, as Meghan insisted she should be allowed to go. Eventually the rest of the family chose to fly/leave without him. They ultimately didn’t make it in time to see the late Queen in time. Thus, Harry had to hire his own flight. Harry was invited to dine with Charles & William that night, to try & settle their issues. Harry refused.

This book is the result of Harry‘as desperation… he needs to provide for his family and he HAD to do it… if H had the resources for his and M’s lifestyle the story would be different… I was at my local bookstore and I saw Spare on the fiction section 😂 Thank you for your insight it was really spot on 🙏🏽

It's so sad that he still moans about his family when the queen died , yet again it was about him , I did think when he went back to megan she was on the floor crying,,well done being able to read it ,your delivery , and your thoughts , loved it ❤️

I seem to remember that when Harry arrived in Scotland it was a clear day no fog, more fairytales. Thank you for reviewing the book, looking forward to Revenge have not read it.🇬🇧

I CANNOT believe how much I have enjoyed this!! I even binge-watched some episodes!!! I laughed so hard at certain points. As a Brit, I do think the mockney you used for Harry’s voice is very accurate. Then there were little asides, the long suffering stares into the camera (like when Harry tells William that he believes their mother had handpicked Meg for him). My sides still hurt. I’ve been screaming “So I called my therapist!” Around my apartment and bursting out laughing for about a week now. This was REALLY well done!!! You say you’re a school teacher? I bet NOBODY fails your class. This is narration beats the effort from Audible!! Hopefully, ‘Revenge’, a far less scandalous book can be presented in the same engaging way. As one of my personal heroes would say: “Excelsior!!”

Great series! I couldn't face reading the book but this reading was hilarious - some much-needed snark to go counter all the whining and self-aggrandisement!

Most of the youtube reviewers of this book have gone for the broad humor. The todger jokes. Yours has been so insightfull and heartbreaking. You know this isn't going to end well. And we've just read exhibit A. I was so happy to learn you are a teacher. I know there is a flock of students out there that will look back and say "she is the reason I love to read."

Going to go through some of your highlights that grabbed my attention: 1) Isn't it ironic he was praising St George's chapel, the place he got married and said goodbye to his grandfather, yet degraded William's choice to get married at Westminister Abbey where Diana's funeral was at? 2) Could be stereotyping, but that friend that likely referenced the anthropology stories of the hummingbird could be his friend Nacho, he is from Argentina. 3) The ball he has to make up that hummingbird story knowing full well how people were amazed that there were rainbows at both Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle right as the Queen was pronounced dead. Everyone saw the symbolism of those rainbows as the Queen spiritual through God, as she was a very devoted Christian, saying her farewell and it represented the magnificent reign she resided over, to twist it to link it to directly to him using a spirituality that he grasps to as if it just coincidentally lines up for his life. The nerve. Thank you so much for covering this book, while I'm certain you didn't gain much value from reading this book, you certainly gain some followers here who love to help support our work. I think you best summarized this book by just saying, "What a dumb book!"

Just to add, the palace confirmed more than once that the queen never met Lillibet...

Everything you said about Harry and his spirituality and giving himself all to Meghan is true. He was only a 31 y/o man when he met her and a very immature one at that. He gave off the impression that he was a lost soul and had had no real mission in life (except for maybe Invictus). He had just finished his stint in the army - what was he going to do with his life? This is just a tragic case of little boy lost who meets up with the wrong woman and what has happened is a classic tragic result. It just keeps getting worse. Looking forward to Revenge - it's a great book~

The big house is important to M- nouveau riche . Meghan wants the shiny stuff. Harry grew up in luxury so its not as thrilling to him. He romanticized staying in a tent in Africa.

Your last thoughts make sense to me and I read a quote from one of the Queen's Lady in Waiting that the Queen had commented that Harry is so damaged that the only hope for him is spiritual rebirth and awakening. Thanks for your insights on Spare.😊

HOORAY!!! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!! IF I COULD CREATE A MEDAL AND PERFORM A CEREMONY TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR GREAT SACRIFICE ON OUR BEHALF...I WOULD. TRULY I WOULD. THANK YOU.

The Queen favored Harry, and even with everything that he did she still had a soft spot for him. He cried because he knew that with her death, no one in the Royal family will give him the time of day anymore. He truly lost the last thread that held him.

Amen! You are a wise young lady. We sure need thinkers in our culture. Harry needs God and to find joy in helping others.

Its astonishing he hadn't taken her to see Diana's grave before 2022: when my sister married a chap whose mother died 2 years before she took her wedding bouquet to place on his mother's grave. Meghan's performance at the grave is mind-boggling: most normal men would have told her off. Meghan not invited to Balmoral - makes sense since she barely knew the Queen.

Really appreciated your final thoughts on this book. It's so sad in the end how much damange was done but mainly to Harry himself in my opinion. Looking forward to all the delicious facts coming from Revenge!

I reckon Markle had a large hand in the writing of this book. She certainly put words in the dolt Harry's mouth. Love your sarcastic humour. Brilliant coverage.

Thank you for this series-I finally listened to the whole thing. I completely agree about self-absorption. My primary takeaway is how absolutely horribly he has treated his family. There is so much in here that we SHOULD NOT BE HEARING. Especially that heartfelt conversation he had with William and his father. Poor William… he spoke those words to his brother in confidence, never dreaming that his trust would be so violated. It’s heartbreaking.

I absolutely enjoyed your reading and comments on this book. I didn't buy it so I was glad to listen to you and you made the whole review much better that listening to Harry's own voice. Thank you so very much

As far as the trip to Balmoral, I have heard that the Queen didn’t want to see Meghan. She was on her death bed, so she should get her wish. Catherine agreed not to go so that Meghan wouldn’t take it badly. This, even though Catherine was very close to the Queen. At least the Queen was spared having to see Meghan on her death bed.

This was the only way to have this book read, touches of humor, amongst the drama, and truly understanding the hurt Harry caused Queen Elizabeth II & Prince Phillip. Harry was her grandson & bares the responsibility. Thank you for doing this.

Thank you for reading this. There were days I was at work, listening and laughing to myself. Can't wait to hear Revenge :)

Thank you for taking me through this book, in such an amusing fashion. I think it's safe to say that, you've spared many of us from adding to Harry's inflated bank account.. Cheesy pun intended. 😉 Can't wait for 'Revenge.'

I just want to personally thank you for reading this reverse fairy tale for me so I didn’t have to… I owe you one!! M going to miss your Harry voice in a big way… 2:54

Thank you SO much for sparing us!!! You have done an amazing job getting through this muck! If you want a really, truly good read, try William Manchester’s biography of Winston Churchill called The Last Lion. The prologue alone should be required reading for all English speaking peoples! THAT is some amazing writing!! Thanks again! Can’t wait to start Revenge!!

When I visit my daughter’s grave I sit or kneel by it and talk to her while I brush off the stone. My youngest takes a pizza, Oreos and a blanket to have a picnic with her big sister and talks to her about school, jobs and guys. Of course, she doesn’t expect an answer. I guess we all have our own ideas about how to commune with our dead. But TW went far beyond the mark of course. Someday, when she and Diana meet she’ll be lucky to avoid getting slapped on sight.

This is the first I've heard the queen met the invisible children.

I am so grateful to have stumbled across your channel! I have just binged all of your episodes of *Spare* and am looking forward to move on to *Revenge* with you. A few thoughts i wanted to add myself. 1, firstly you are a fantastic story teller and i would absolutely love to sit and listen to you all day over a glass of wine 😂 you are insightful, fair and very entertaining so thank you for entertaining me! 2, I have a theory that Harry stopped mentally developing at the age of 12 after the trauma of his mums death and because this wasnt properly addressed he grew up as an indulged man child. I think "Pa" (and others) never really challenged him because he felt bad about not being a mother and the father that Harry "felt" he deserved. I also think that Charles is very passive and Harry is aggressive so they clashed. "Pa" could never have lived up to Harrys expectations because they were unreasonable. 3, William comes off as the better of the 2 in this book even when Harry tries his best to make him look like the bad guy. 4, Meghan fed all of harrys paranoia and insecurities until he became depressed and dependent upon her. She is a calculated manipulator who loves the attention and was disappointed to find out "her prince" wasnt quite the rich catch she thought he would be. 5, the royal family are far superior and have incredible dignity. 6, THANK GOD HARRY WAS NOT BORN FIRST 🤯 Your awesome. Thank you!! 😁

Thank you so much for reading this for me!! That book would have made me give up reading!! You truly are a special person!!

Your ending analysis is really spot on. I too was struck by his lack of faith and calling his wife the Captain of his Soul. His grandmother had a deep and true faith and he never mentions it. It’s sad to think how lost he must feel.

This is the classiest trash talk I’ve ever heard.. ❤ 25:45

I look forward so much to your reviews yiur so funny and incisive - im enjoying each episode. Thanks for mentioning the British people - I am British and its so apreciated how you understand how lots of us feel about this situation.

Love your thoughts on God at the end and how horribly sad that Harry deprives himself from having access to that in favor of a human woman. But on a more lighthearted note, this is SUCH an entertaining series you've done! I'll be looking out for more!

I didn’t want to spend money on the book either, but I was curious about its contents. Harry is a lost soul.

I am new to your channel and enjoyed your commentary. I have a MA in English lit and I sincerely thank you for sparing my retinas from reading such drivel. Poor Harry's travel challenges to get to Balmoral sound like a load of hooey. The staff at Buckingham Palace would've been on high alert for the past 8 DECADES, ever prepared for the eventuality of our dear Queen's untimely passing. Every detail would've been covered (as witnessed by her stately funeral.) Staff would've had precise plans to get everyone where they had to be. This would've included Harry....UNLESS he'd been such a JERK since M's arrival that he was purposefully left to flounder. Sheesh ~ even when I host luncheons, I make sure that all my girlfriends can get here.

Thank you for this very intelligent, insightful, hilarious, witty and comical review of this book! Your tone is thoughtful and humble and the voices have been so spot on! Harry will forever more have your Harold voice. I feel like I have stumbled across a group of like minded souls and long lost family in your comment section too. Amazing stuff. You have a gift. To REVENGE and beyond!!! 🎉❤ I'm buckled in...

Thanks for biting the bullet and reading the book for us. I think it was a work of fantasy. Can't wait for Revenge!

Dear Cheere just one word Thanks.... 🙏🇦🇺

Can't wait for Revenge! Next, you should read Lady C's book. She really has a way with words!

How sad.. 16 bathrooms and only one todger.. Cheere, I've re-watched all these "Spare me" episodes and you've done such a wonderful job. Thank you.. I got the audiobook using my free credit but I could NOT listen to the entire thing. I kept getting headaches from the violent eye-rolling. Seriously, I rolled them more trying to listen to him than I did in all the years of raising three kids to adulthood combined.

Thank you for doing this programme . That book was THE most frustrating book because I spent a lot of time thinking "how stupid is he! If he could just stop and look at the loving family around him he would find the joy and meaning he is looking for" what an idiot. That epilogue made me so sad. He really is so self obsessed living in "me land" he will not find the happiness he is looking for. How very very sad.

I play you whilst cooking dinner. My 13 year old son was transfixed by your book analysis, I had no idea he was even listening! We had a good chat afterwards.

So we hear how close he was to the Queen, but he didn’t mention that, it seems, the only time he phoned her was to ask for money. He might have visited her at Balmoral before she died if she’d offered him a few quid

His grandmother but OUR Queen whom he disrespected in her final days, he is such a prat!!!!!!

Thank you, I REFUSE to read his book. I enjoyed your videos and am looking to forward to Revenge. I DID read that one. Can’t wait for your take ❤

Thank you for reviewing the book, as much as I struggled with the story your delivery was wonderful. I would never have read the book by myself, solidarity in numbers 😂

Wow, what a journey! Thank you for taking on this book. I can’t wait for our next book! Happy Easter 🌷

Thank you for reading this so I didn't have too. I love your Harry voice . I appreciate your thoughtful wisdom and insight. ❤

Thorough enjoyed your videos and this series. You brought much fun and comedy to the fairytales, and the book is way worse than I thought it was in how it portrays Harold. He's completely under the cult of his wife. The way he treated the Queen at the end of her life was awful, and he wrote all this expecting her to be alive for it. I think they were shocked at the outpouring of grief for her. I watched some of the footage of people passing her coffin to pay their respects. All types of people. Harold just never understood what true service and sacrifice ever meant. What a lost boy.

I've loved your run downs on this book. I couldn't bring myself to buy it but was so entertained by your take on it. Oh, the draaaama! 😂

I have just finished listening to your analysis of Spare, and I would like to add my thanks. I had no intention of buying the book, or even of trying to get it from a library as I didn’t want even one penny of mine to go to Harry and Meghan, yet I did want to find out what it contained. You have done a great job, well done and thank you again

@ Lynne Williams Yes I'm with you!!! Hurray hurrah our hero😃 We do appreciate you young lady. Hero might be pushing it. We do enjoy your show.💕💕💕

I have really loved listening to you read this toilet paper waste of trees of a book. You are hilarious, and i have found myself laughing loudly several times thank you for not only making it barable but hugely enjoyable. My favorite was part 16 in which I laughed so hard my sides hurt. Thank you for your time

Loved all of it! ❤️ I am THRILLED to hear the actual research of Revenge as opposed to Harry’s half-baked reminiscences.

Your analysis is great and so is your humour, but what truly sets you apart and makes your videos wonderful to watch is your integrity and morality. So inspiring! Your thoughts inspire me.
