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 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.

Diana and Fergie were friends before Andrew and Fergie got together.

It's great in practice but if one doesn't like or trust the other one, that's not going to work. Some people just don't care for their in-laws.

I read that MM had done something at KM's house before the engagement that had created wariness and mistrust. But who knows?

notanotheroneagain · 17/08/2022 19:11

They knew each other, but Fergie never described them as friends.

Another Blind gossip or Lady C lie about MM taking pics ?

Hehe. I've read loads of stuff on the gossip sights. Bonkers stuff that they just can't know is true. But it's entertaining. But, no, not from there. It was in a newspaper. I think. One of the tabloids, Express, Sun, Mirror? Can't remember - it was years ago and it seemed to me that they were all getting on initially so I dismissed it.
Who did MM take pics of? Not of a naked, sun-bathing KM??? 😱

I’m surprised the “shopping snub” story has come up because I always thought that was a real own goal for Meghan.

Meghan’s Toronto friends Jessica and Ben Mulroney are very involved in the Toronto media scene. Ben presents a tv show with Elaine Lui, a Canadian tv personality and gossip columnist. Here they all are, Meghan included, out at a social event (Michael Buble is there too, but apparently didn’t merit a label!).

The story about the refused lift shopping was first published on Elaine Lui’s website, “LaineyGossip”. I’ve linked to it below. It was presented on a blind (no names) basis, but it was obvious who it related to.

Now, you might ask, how on earth would a story about a discussion between two people end up being reported first on a Toronto-based gossip site? And the party about whom it is uncomplimentary is the one without the direct link to the website? Wow, what an enigma…

(It wouldn’t surprise me at all if the KP Press Office didn’t join exactly the same dots. It certainly gave Kate every reason to hold Harry’s new girlfriend at arm’s length until she showed she could be trustworthy...)

To be fair, it could only have come from MM. It's not like KM is going to be releasing that she ignored her. But it might be something that MM said in passing without meaning for it ever to be released.

Serenster · 17/08/2022 19:29

Even so, if guard your privacy closely, and think the new girlfriend is blabbing about you to other people, you’re not exactly going to roll out the welcome mat.

Who did MM take pics of? Not of a naked, sun-bathing KM??? 😱

Was MM even around back then ?
Now who is coming up with conspiracy theories, as I never read that in any paper.

No where at all does that laney gossip even name anyone.

So what was MM 'caught' doing ?

It was you that brought up her taking photos!

I was just joking about it being KM being naked. Because, you know, she'd had naked pictures taken before.

Ohnonevermind · 17/08/2022 19:55

That was an own goal by MM, I remember it. Did Lui make the wedding ?

notanotheroneagain · 17/08/2022 19:56

I'm not the only one who heard this. I never read Lady C's book, but thought that is where it came from. it was definitely discussed here on MN.
you must have seen it, since you keep an eagle eye on anything negative about MM.

Readinginthesun · 17/08/2022 20:08

Just like you keep an eye on anything negative about the rest of the RF 😂

MarshaMelrose · 17/08/2022 20:23

😮What? I've posted loads of stuff in support of PH. I rarely mention MM. I've said that they're happy and people should leave them alone. I stuck up for him over the UN, coming over to the UK, over them leaving the RF. But if they do something I don't agree with, I'm going to say that as well. I've never been nasty, just had a laugh about it. You, on the other hand, have been quite nasty to me in the past and you support HAM regardless of what they do; you never apologise when you write something that is untrue and you can be very aggressive.

Lady C is a horrible woman and I wouldn't buy anything of hers. I don't know what this picture is, and I can guarantee you, I have never discussed it on any MN thread.

Exactly. I wouldn't have trusted MM as far as I could throw her. She just isn't a nice person.

What a sweeping statement about someone you don't know Shock

Ohnonevermind · 17/08/2022 20:58

I don’t think that about MM, but KM is the future Queen, she is cautious and takes her time getting to know people.It was probably frustrating for MM that KM seemed reserved with her.

KM must be glad she did take her time as her comments could have ended up as fodder on Oprah and the idea that KM was reserved due to jealousy is crazy.

Samcro · 17/08/2022 20:59

I do wish mn hq would deal with these threads like they do with ones about people like Jordan.
the stuff that people just make up or believe is mind blowing.

I don't wish her or Harry any ill especially as they have two lovely children. Indeed I hope they do well. However to pretend that MM is 'nice' would be hypocritical of me

notanotheroneagain · 17/08/2022 21:09

@MarshaMelrose you have been nasty yourself about , H&M and anyone who supports them.
Quiet surprised you claim to have defended MM, that must be a handful of times, as most of your posts disparage them.

And you keep going back to a post I deleted from the start. Mate, let it go.

Ohnonevermind · 17/08/2022 21:10

Lainey gossip is so tragic, does anyone read her ? And I thought some of the posters on here were bitter about Kate 🤣

notanotheroneagain · 17/08/2022 21:14

A woman who spends most of her time supporting charities is not 'nice'.

Gosh, wonder what you must think of those who are accused of associated with peados, accused of ra**ing trafficked girls. Those who pay to stop them being questions and other who sell access to the Kremlin etc. ?

To say you wouldn't trust her as far as you could throw her though... I say that sort of thing about someone who steals, scams and defrauds. Not someone who you only know from what the media feed you...
I'm just surprised that's all.

I'll tell you who was nice. Darius Danesh who has just died. So many stories of acts of kindness and work for charity hardly ever publicised.

CathyorClaire · 17/08/2022 21:20

According to Heat , H and M are to renew their vows in the US !?

Might Netflix capture this sweet moment for posterity?

Wonder if this service will take place three days early too
