All is true

@FreddieUK We are not quite sure when Shakespeare/Fletcher wrote Henry Eighth. But it was still close to the reign of Ann Bolyns daughter. So would distort in favour of her.

Why does Spencer come out with this now, thirty years after the events? And to what extent is it influenced by the older Harry?

Shakespeare’s title suggests a degree of rye humour.

@val70 I wonder how William feels treating his mother as a commodity.

I’m glad I did not have an Uncle like him.

@peterlee You should be glad not to have the whole family. Uncle Andrew and his children included. No, I feel for Earl Spencer. I read several of his books. He's a good writer. Of course, this new one isn't well supported by evidence. Of course, his like Harry's will get him a lot of money. Yes, his three divorces were expensive. It was never going to give him a good image. Perhaps he was even thinking of what the some press and some people did to Harry because of his book. Charles Spencer isn't a dummie. He's just a wanderer with soul. I feel very much close to that character. He was dreadfully marked by sexual abuse like myself at a very young age. That influences a person a lot. I wish that he just kept quiet now, but I think that he's trying to get Harry into better standing with this too. Oh well, an awful lot of feeling and thinking. I know. Nothing even to do with being non-royal or spirituality. He had to do it now because nex year it will only get worse because of the thirty years of Diana's death. And perhaps he's thinking of death himself.
