To think Ruthie Henshall has done this in bad taste?

[Chefpig]

She's been on BBC Breakfast this morning talking about her relationship with Prince Edward and how she's written a memoir about her experiences.

Prince Edward is now with Sophie obviously, who he's been with for years. Ruthie did say that the book wasn't a 'kiss and tell', but really?

I guess if you are interested in musical theatre and know of her you might pick up an autobiography, but they are obviously going in this direction to sell it, i don't think people are that interested in Prince Edward either.

That would be like me giving a shit about whoever DP dated when he was 17 - and them thinking that it's anything to be interested in.

One thing is for sure, he definitely upgraded when he married Sophie. Apparently the Queen saw her as a second daughter, and the Queen was a good judge of character.
I wouldn't go that far, after what we know about her enabling of Andrew and her fondness for Fergie!

I thought she had just written one story about this in her autobiography until I saw that it's the title of her book! It is in horrible taste. Who cares? She also seems to spend a lot of time telling people that someone who has been married for 30 years and has an adult child isn't gay?! (Didnt Sophie say something similar?) Why would you do that.

Probably overthinking but seems to me this story is highly convenient for the Royal Family as it distracts from the Andrew M-Windsor thing - well, have we read anything about that in the last few months? State organisations are very big on the 'create a new thing so that awful thing is not the latest thing' angle, to push bad new back down the line and into the past.

Liz Truss is trying to do that too, making a lot of noise so her crashing the economy for a generation is not the 'latest thing' about her.

I don't think she has brought out her book as a distraction for the RF and Andrew.

Wonder if she was holding out for an MBE and this is some kind of revenge for never getting one.

I read the excerpts jn the Daily Mail. It was quite racy.
Who knew little old Eddie was such a love machine!! 🥰😅

It smacks of desperation and I think people will think less of her for doing this. I certainly do. He has a family and he cannot respond.

And Diana was insanely jealous of HM's cordial relationship with Sophie 😉

I don't think you can ever tell who's a love machine...

She still banging on about this? Talk about desperate, it’s all a bit cringe.

When she was on BBC this morning, the interviewer said that she could turn her stories into a musical. RH replied in a jokey way that it could be a Netflix series . I don't think she was joking. She seems so desperate.

In really poor taste. She must be skint.

She was on this morning a few weeks ago and was quite open about their sex life. Not cool. Poor Sophie.

the Queen was a good judge of character.

Was she? Have you forgotten who her favourite son was?

I saw her interview on this morning, she said Prince Edward would enjoy the trip down memory lane! Does she really think he will be reading that book when he's happily married. Your right she does seem desperate, and delusional.

I wonder if she's bitter that she didn't become Duchess Ruthi...

More than probably! Overthinking I mean.

She was in cabaret last time I saw her, I wonder what tu pay is. Although it’s not the riches of a royal is it I suppose.

Yes really disappointed in her. Thought she had more class to be honest.

Oh maybe she would definitely want Damehood though.

No indeed! That's a bit tin foil hat territory...

Heard her promoting this on radio the other week She had diaries of all of that time and some of the anecdotes - singing les miz around the table to the royals - were interesting enough if you like royalty mixed with sleb twaddle.
She came across as very effusive, nostalgic and positive towards Edward.
Got to be honest - I hadn't seen I'm a celeb so was 😲 while driving. I'd had no idea they were a thing. Not a hint in the press. Five years is quite a long relationship.
Should she be defined by it, well, no, but nor has she written anything other than a memoir of the girl she used to be. And I do like the title.
I'm not the demographic. That would be my late MIL. She'd have read it already! I haven't gone across to read excerpts from mail or kindle sample. But nor would I be bothered if I was Edward, Sophie or one of his kids. It's a snapshot in time and she speaks very highly of him.
If anything, I'd kind of be quite happy the record was set straight as for years, it was made out he was gay - at a time when it was still demonised, so I always thought he'd had an arranged/lavender marriage of sorts (sorry Soph!) and/or swung both ways.

I thought she was awful, banging on about her relationship with Edward and her closeness to the royal family. She sounded very full of herself and obviously thinks she’s far more well known than she is.

It's embarrassing for her. She was brilliant in her field but her reputation was gone overnight when she published this. She has kids too! Imagine being her child and having to read about their mum cashing in on a short lived fling. It's almost Katie Price levels of desperation. Very odd!
