The Sun have got hold of a copy of the book that was accidently put on sale in Spain. They are clearly skimming it as fast as possible with a translator. They are reporting that W&H begged KC not to marry C, and that he thought she was leaking stories to the press.

Bloody hell.

Yes!

Agree!

Willy isn't coming out of this well either but Charles and Camilla's amazing PR guys will undo the damage and I'm sure the kids will be wheeled out for the public shortly so they can be ooh'd and aah'd at.

Hi mother would be mortified by all this shizz. She must be spinning in her grave :(

@Adeckofcards when someone puts themselves out there so much they can expect people to judge
Hes made enough of them himself to be faor

As much as I support H&M in their fight against the media/establishment I do agree with this. It was a stupid thing for him to put in print - really stupid and could cause a lot of problems for him.

Why is it stupid? Soldiers on active service kill people. This is what happens.

Harry had a huge bald patch approx 18 months ago, it's all grown over now- I think hes had a hair transplant.

He was looking pretty much the same as William and now has a full head of hair again.

I noticed this too. The bald patch was very noticeable, now it seems to have gone.

I totally disagree. Whether you agree with Harry's approach or not, Harry is basically doing what Diana herself did when she was alive.

healthadvice123 · 05/01/2023 18:13

@Adeckofcards they aren't coming off too badly really and guess what William will always be inline to be king and the kids coming out would be planned weeks in advance if not months , not decided very last minute for security alone

Agreed. She’d be laughing.

ButterBastardBeans · 05/01/2023 18:14

Diana would be upset about the rift between the brothers to a massive degree.

'Why is it stupid? Soldiers on active service kill people. This is what happens'

I don't know any who annouce the numbers they've killed, it is a bizarre and dangerous thing to have done. Terrorists and extremists need little encouragement to target people.

It's such a shame that H&M obviously don't have a single trusted advisor that is willing to tell them when something is a bad idea.
If all the leaks are true then all they have managed to do is confirm that the RF thought M was difficult and rude; that M basically called Kate hormonal at the dress fitting; that H never takes responsibility for anything or has a moment of reflection.
The thing is they would still have sold tonnes of books if they had gone in the other direction eg now as a father, H understands why the family worried about a quick engagement but their happy marriage shows it was worth the risk; he's happy he had so many opportunities handed to him by being a prince; he's pleased he was given the chance to serve overseas (and sorry that the US media leaked it and ended it for him). People buy books about the RF no matter what. This book could have been his olive branch and opened the door to being the RF representatives in the US.

A great post !
If only people were different….

actually I think the RF tried fairly hard to provide the Sussexes with advisors. Lane Fox had done a pretty good job for both Princes before Meghan’s advent. The Queen tried to get her to accept Sophie Wessex, who was a commoner and had quite a tumultuous time in her first year as a Royal before settling down (up?) and making a pretty good job of it. She finally persuaded Samantha Cohen who had been at the heart of the ‘Firm’ to take the job, but it was all too much for even her, and she resigned and went into non royal service.

but you can’t advise people who don’t want advice

It looks to be a genuine photo from the party. There are others.

It 'looks to be' genuine?

What's your source?

Harry was wearing a bracelet on his left arm in the original photo, but doesn't seem to be wearing one here. And the man in your 'genuine' photo looks a lot blonder than Harry. So where did you find this 'genuine photo'?

He’s coming out of it a damn sight better than Harold. It’s a spectacular own goal.

healthadvice123 · 05/01/2023 18:15

@BradfordGirl Diana never went this far at all and she realised the interview etc was a mistake
She also idolised her boys and would not want to see them like this

If someone had emotionally tortured my pregnant, mentally ill mother who was barely out of her teens I'd have gone for them as well.......in fact I'm surprised he's held off this long. What the pair of them did to that woman was disgusting.

But that’s not really what he’s doing from the sound of it, he’s laughing at his brothers baldness, explicit sordid sex scenes in car parks, petty nonsense about minor exchanges between Kate and Meghan…

BradfordGirl · 05/01/2023 18:17

@healthadvice123 What she said was shocking at the time just as Charles interview before her also shocked many people. I agree Diana would not like her sons fighting, but she did like anyone taking potshots at the Monarchy and especially at Charles.
I am not defending this approach, I am simply saying that I think Diana would support what Harry is doing.

It is extremely insensitive and foolhardy to brag about it or keep count.

Even more so when your tally is made so public.

I don’t know anyone who has made similar claims.

healthadvice123 · 05/01/2023 18:19

@BradfordGirl I don't think she would as she regretted some of it herself and also she kept herself still very much as the public favourite despite interviews etc , its not going that way for Harry
Diana was not stupid

The difference is Willy is going to be the King and it really isn't good. It really establishes the need for the monarchy to be abolished so these people aren't representive of anyone or anywhere.

Blossomtoes · 05/01/2023 18:19

Turning himself into a laughing stock? You think?

I couldn’t disagree more. This will increase support for the monarchy beyond its wildest dreams. This is a very bad day for republicans.

I think she might also say (I mean I’ve no idea clearly) that the palace has learnt nothing from her example, and employed the same tactics against Harry that they did with her to a similarly explosive effect.

Mirabai · 05/01/2023 18:13

Agreed. She’d be laughing.

Well, you know, Harry has a direct line of communication with his dead mother, so why not just ask him what she thinks?
Just like the Ghost of Diana laughed when the ornament of the queen fell off the Christmas tree and smashed, he says in the book.
Hilarious.
