As the other thread has filled up I wondered if anyone would like to discuss the book here. I’m listening to it on Audible now.

'I think Kate should have taken Meghan shopping, made a big effort, tried to include her more. This was a woman from another country'

Well apparently in their engagement interview the Cambridges has been amazeballs, it only went horrible wrong when Harry wasn't allowed his own way.

Can we please stop with the 'She should have taken her shopping' stuff. 2 intelligent women I'm sure can bond over than shopping.

Two women can bond over anything, it's all about a gesture. I'm sure you understand that.
To offer. To be seen to be doing something nice. To make an effort.
And so on.
Why do you tell me to stop with this lol. Odd. I gave an opinion, there is no need to tell me to stop, thanks, unless you'd like to stop with your opinion too?

But we don’t know that Catherine didn’t try ( despite HG) . As someone pointed out , during the engagement interview everyone had been amazing .

Readinginthesun · 17/08/2022 16:22

Remember that Catherine was pregnant when H and M announced their engagement and it is well documented that she suffered horrendous HG . I doubt very much she felt like doing very much plus she had 2 other young children and yes she has staff but she and W strike me as pretty hands on .
I did read that Camilla and Sophie tried to offer support but were spurned .

Really? I've never read that. Was that the Daily Mail?

She didn't take the children shopping with her?

Exactly. All 'sources' claim the red carpet was practically laid out with all the best staff on hand to support and guide. Maybe they weren't escorted to Harrods shopping but I bet they had everyone nodding and encouraging in every possible other matter.

The problems seem to have started when Harry was told no, you can't do that.

I believe it was shopping in Windsor. Might have that wrong.

@Roussette

i think you got the shopping location wrong. Perhaps you should check your favourite source ‘hello magazine’ 🤣

Sorry? I rarely look at 'Hello magazine' Hmm

Would you like to further inform us where the shopping location was, as you seem to know? I did say I might have got that wrong.

ThighMistress · 17/08/2022 17:15

But that proves my point, who on earth would care to know if it were Windsor as opposed to Knightsbridge or even Brent Cross? So much detailed knowledge!

The red carpet was indeed rolled out, but I do have on quite good authority that individual good will was reined (or even reigned!) in when it transpired that notes were being taken . Whether it was just a clumsy Instagrammy mistake or a planned advance diarisation, who knows, or just that Kate didn’t much like her, but something caused a schism which just got worse.

As you’ve linked to it in the past, I presumed it was a favourite source and it’s the type of detail they love to report on

Ok, I've linked to it in the past, so you say! Can't remember. Why pick out stuff like this, I don't know you and monitor what links you do!

A tad weird but I'm glad I've given you something to think about!

Ohnonevermind · 17/08/2022 17:20

I’ve a feeling it was Kensington high street from one of the older threads. I remembered
as I shopped there once or twice but never shopped in Windsor when I lived in London (more of a selfridges person myself)

@Roussette

it was only some humour after your comments. If you disparage some peoples sources surely I can poke a little humour at your choices too 😀

just off to subscribe to 'Hello' as I'm obviously missing something!

Personally I think heat and closer have more facts in them than this Book

Your in luck, Omid Scobie the former heat journalist is releasing a new book 🤣

Heat must be getting the inside track from Omid Scobie 🤣

notanotheroneagain · 17/08/2022 18:35

I believe Harry said thing really started to change after the success of the Australia trip.

KM being suspicious of a new member ? Really? Who is she? She is also just a married in too anyway.

Yes, it makes sense to come close to another married in. Even Fergie and Dii seemed to have some kind of unity, knowing their status as married in.

MarshaMelrose · 17/08/2022 18:38

I remember it as Kensington Palace gates. MM saw KM driving out and she didn't stop to offer her a lift. But I can't see it being a big deal. MM even said in her OW interview that everyone in the family was great to her before she got married.
