I read two autobiographies lately. One was Spare by Prince Harry. Harry was born into wealth and privilege yet he complains about his lot in life. The death of his mother, Princess Diana was devastating for him. Instead of the family pulling together to support each other, his family positioned themselves for favorable outcomes in the future. Although he is called "my darling boy" by his father, his father and Camilla willingly throw him under the bus as an irresponsible and politically incorrect buffoon in order to increase their own ratings. Reading this book made me glad to be born into a non famous family. I agree with Harry about the morally corrupt Rupert Murdock and his newspaper practices that are illegal. Rupert's newspapers have talented lawyers that allow them to get away with crimes by only paying out money and never admitting to fault. Harry refers to himself as a spare as he will not be heir to the throne. Maybe he should count himself luck on that point.
