AS we approach the date on when Harry’s self-indulgent sob story ‘Spare’ will hit the shelves, the prince is reported to have expressed a wish to ‘have his family back’ - adding that his present estrangement with the rest of the royal family ‘did not have to be like this’.

But until this pampered princeling wakes up and accepts the reality that the present stand off with his family is entirely of his own making, the likelihood of him being forgiven and welcomed. along with his wife and children, back into the fold, is pretty remote.

Especially given that his book is fully expected to pour yet more criticism and scorn on family members he and his wife have spent the last three years vilifying.

Spare us any more of your moaning Harry, please.
