Blurb from publisher.

In an intimate and heartfelt memoir from one of the most fascinating and influential global figures of our time, Prince Harry will share, for the very first time, the definitive account of the experiences, adventures, losses, and life lessons that have helped shape him.

Covering his lifetime in the public eye from childhood to the present day, including his dedication to service, the military duty that twice took him to the frontlines of Afghanistan, and the joy he has found in being a husband and father, Prince Harry will offer an honest and captivating personal portrait, on that shows readers that behind everything they think they know lies an inspiring, courageous and uplifting human story.'

Many many many people in the UK are still interested in H&M, hence this thread started immediately the announcement of a book was made.

Honestly the only thing most people in the UK and elsewhere are interested in is just what daft antic or stunt they will do next for attention. The interest comes from seeing them fail so spectacularly time and time again and seemingly never learning when to stop.

Roussette · 20/07/2021 08:40

So Green people are interested because they are desperate to see two human beings fail....
OK... got it...
Hmm

@HauteGirlSummer

Can't wait to pre-order this 😆😆 Go Harry! We'll be hearing his version of the story as opposed to the millions of 'sources' the media constantly quotes 🙄
‘Version’ being the operative word Hmm

@Mummy194

Sarah is not the only royal who published. Some of Queen Victoria's memoirs were also published.
Oh I missed that press tour.

Did Victoria go on Loose Women to publicise it?

Snog · 20/07/2021 08:43

I'm finding it really really hard to think of anything interesting that Harry could put in his autobiography.

EdithWeston · 20/07/2021 08:43

@Roussette

That's ironic. So people have to start a thread saying they aren't interested lolol

If they were really disinterested, they would be ignoring it and not spending time starting threads and posting on it.

People can start a thread for whatever reason they want. It doesn't have meet anyone's approval or ideas about what's fitting or logical.

And people who are interested are posting on it. Whatever their views might be.

Not so much see them fail but it's like a car crash you cannot divert your eyes away from.

If they stopped courting the media and rehashing the same old stories people would stop commenting. However then they wouldn't be happy because they seem to have this desperate need to be noticed and they clearly want people to talk about them.

Oh lord, the book tours. The chat shows. Dear god. I hope he appears on the One Show after an item about someone's prize cabbages.

'I've worn many hats over the years literally and figuratively'

Wow, really promises to be a literary heavyweight doesn't if?

I can't wait for the chapter titled 'That time I wore a trilby and acted like one of you commoners for a laugh'.

Grin

It's pitiful isn't it. Who tf is advising him.

Why on earth can't he just busy himself with shining lights on authentic charities instead of this constant putting the record straight. That chip on his shoulder is so unedifying.

What a fool. I wonder is this thread will now be deleted as 'criticising someone in the public eye is NITS' apparently.

Roussette · 20/07/2021 08:49

EdithWeston

Totally agree. People can start a thread on what they want, I haven't said otherwise.

I just took issue with a pp saying 'no one in the UK was interested' which is blatantly not the case.

Bovrilly · 20/07/2021 08:50

In the interview, the problem with family was about the racism concern. Other than that it was about the firm practices or rules.

Don't forget the parenting!

Roussette · 20/07/2021 08:52

Green You say they have a desperate need to be noticed. Likewise there are posters on here who have a desperate need to talk about them.

There was a 6-8 week period when nothing was reported in the media on them, they actually moved to California and been there 6 weeks and no one knew. The threads still carried on regardless regurgitating old stuff, because of the desperate need to talk about them even if there is no press.

H will be practising his dm sad face as we speak.

Honestly why would he do this, he has little if any credibility left after his rampant hypocrisy throwing his family under the bus.

He seems intent on being a laughing stock. It's really sad and you just know it won't end well.

StormzyinaTCup · 20/07/2021 08:56

Ooh I'm interested because I like to call out hypocrisy and general shitty behaviour from any tone deaf 'Celebrity' who chooses the 'poor me' narrative at the expense of others in order to keep the $$$ rolling in (Chrissy Teigan I'm looking at you too). Even worse if you have started from a position of great privilege.

Shocking homelessness on their doorstep in California and New York too but no worries just carry on with your own pity party.

Some might lap it up but a lot won't.

GreenCrayon · 20/07/2021 08:56

You say they have a desperate need to be noticed. Likewise there are posters on here who have a desperate need to talk about them.

Thats just some posters on a website though, it's hardly representative of the general population.

You cannot deny that for most people especially with everything that's happened over the past year they really are given little to no thought in our day to day lives until they do another interview or release another statement. Then of course there will be interest as there is with any 'news'.

And there are other poster/s who are determined to defend them to the death. Post on every thread where they’re named and get in silly spats to defend their honour. Regardless of how harmless the criticisms levelled at them are.

It’s weird isn’t it?

SueSaid · 20/07/2021 08:56

'Likewise there are posters on here who have a desperate need to talk about them.'

It's a chat forum! People talk about stuff in the news and sadly this pair just seem to announce crap every single day. Those lovely weeks in Canada we didn't hear a peep out of the them and they weren't discussed, but I think we all know that they don't actually like not being headlines do they?! Grin.

Comeinoutoftherain · 20/07/2021 08:58

Wonder if this was why he refused to name the person who made comments on their future children's skin colour in the OW interview, holding something back for the book.

Do people ever have to return advances if the book doesn't sell?

I doubt that will be the case here, but there's going to have to be some really fascinating stories in there to be a long term best seller like Michelle Obama's.

For most celebrities they only become famous later in life when they are already adults.

Harry's life has been publicised since the moment he was conceived.

Diana's death only heightened the press interest in her sons and it hasn't really dropped off since.

So a lot of what he's done has already been catalogued and reported.

Plus the RF legal team will be all over it before it's published. Harry is going to need proof for a lot of what he'd like to say, and he probably won't have it.

Most of it is likely to be recollection. Unlike Meghan, he doesn't seem to keep a diary or record things. So he may not have sufficient proof to stop quite a few of his stories ever making it into print.

Viviennemary · 20/07/2021 09:01

Seems to be they keep poking the royal bear. Will it roar. That's the question. Not sure if bears roar.

That's clever. Im going to remember that when im struggling to keep my mouth shut.

'Do people ever have to return advances if the book doesn't sell?'

Oh it'll sell, it'll fly off the shelves, but where is his pride and dignity?

Bet it'll be the last nail in the coffin with the rf. What an utter prat, he sneered at her family's tell all books and look what he has lowered himself too.

Rainbunny · 20/07/2021 09:08

It's like a car crash you can't look away from

This perfectly sums up my level of interest in them. There's something rather Shakespearean about all this. I also think we can look at the events and feel genuinely sad to see a family break down like this. It's sad to remember that only a few years ago H was so close to W&K and his neice and nephews and now he's completely cut himself off and suddenly the RF is completely toxic and he was desparetely unhappy. He clearly was struggling and William suggested therapy but I find it hard to believe hat things were as bad as he now paints the picture.

I guess we'll see more of his "truths" in the book. Whatever he writes I can't see Charles getting kind treatment.

Whinge · 20/07/2021 09:09

I don't think it will sell as well as they hope. I imagine people will buy it out of interest or to review. However once a few serialized articles or reviews have begun to circulate, I think the vast majority of people will save their money and use those to get the general gist instead.

Totally untrue. The threads and posts did not stop. All regurgitated stuff. I am just going out so don't have time to prove it, but I promise you, the commenting about them carried on, even with radio silence.
