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.

BethJ62, Harry certainly mentioned numerous times he would like to live and work in Africa. Far cry from Montecito, sadly.

He told Jane Goodall that his dream was to raise his DC in Africa .

MissMarpleRocks · 06/01/2023 08:53

Agree they could have been like Harry’s cousins who are still very much part of the family.

Also from looking at the way the family interacted at the jubilee it didn’t look dysfunctional to me. Looked just like my own family tbh.

And therein lies our differences @BethJ62

You just want them totally silenced. With no voice. That was not going to happen.

Whatever they did was wrong... if they'd have gone to Africa or the Cotswolds they would have still been chased mercilessly by the media... see the pretty pic

Silenced ? No voice ? What nonsense is that ? Philip and Charles and now William have used - and continue to use- their voices to raise and discuss relevant issues ( climate change etc).
I thought you were smarter than that !

Weren't they offered this initially but instead they wanted to "hit the ground running"?

BethJ62 · 06/01/2023 08:56

And had they not flounced off they would still have had security plus interest would have naturally waned as they got on with their lives and the Wales DC get older.

Yes, Harry said that The Queen said there was no rush , Meghan could continue acting , they could live quietly somewhere just as W and K did on Anglesey but that wasn’t what they wanted . Meghan herself said she wanted to hit the ground running , refused support and advice and here we are .

So you disagree with my post, why the 'smarter' comment? No need

How many posts on here have I seen saying
I wish they'd go away
I wish they'd shut up
I wish they'd stop speaking
If only they'd keep quiet.

That's my point. Look at my pic.

Unlike Meghan spending $75k on a single dress.

Yes but you already think she's a bad one so surely Kate is just as greedy and money grabbing.

Rhondaa · 06/01/2023 09:10

'I'm sure it would have been perfectly possible for Harry to have the 'family' without the 'royal' if that's what he really wanted - bit like Zara, Beatrice, Eugenie - turn up at Sandringham and Balmoral for your hollibobs, do the fun bits like Ascot and the Jubilee, and other than that, get a job and live your life.'

Exactly but he didn't want the quiet life. He wanted the high profile just as important as Willy life, but without the boring bits. He wanted the premieres and the virtue signalling stuff, not to toe the line ticking boxes stuff and doing the 'job'. He wants the glory without the scrutiny. What a mess he is, he needs support and therapy stat.

Nope - the £175k estimated is for a year, not one dress. It doesn't come from taxpayer's money, she's in the public eye, stuff she wears sells out and as she wears a lot of high street fashion that's good for the economy.

Coxspurplepippin · 06/01/2023 09:21

You believe the RF handled the Meghan 'situation' badly. They offered Harry and Meghan space as newlyweds, out of the public eye, they offered mentoring, Meghan could have kept her acting career.

All of the above was refused by the couple.

You may blame the RF for this shit show. However, they've decades of knowledge and experience in how things work. They could probably see which way the wind was blowing, tried to mitigate issues before they arose, but we're snubbed at every turn.

As an early poster said, is the fact that the staff, her own family, colleagues and in laws have all had unpleasant experiences with her not enough for rational adults to admit there might be something in these claims? By all accounts she is deeply unpleasant, yet there’s some strange gaslighting going on by a group of MM supporters who are adamant she’s a saint. It’s bizarre.

Meghan worked on SUITS for years without a single word of nastiness about her. No colleagues have said a single thing about how horrible she was. She remains friends with them, they came to er wedding en masse, and have been warm about her. Not even her ex husband or ex boyfriends have had a negative thing to say, not one. She was on SUITS for 8 or s years. Then she is barely a year into the Royal family and she is a bully etc.

This from an institution that we know tried to discredit Diana through leaks etc, about how crazy she was, an institution made up of people with hot tempers who have yelled at staff, from Charles to Andrew to William and not one of whom have ever had a bullying complaint against them.

Come on. William did not like Meghan. The accusations against her were an institutional stitch up, with Jason Knauf, William's man, at the front and centre of it all. It's clear now William never liked her from the beginning and he sought to destroy her.

As fir her family: to be honest, they actually look quite harmless in comparison to Windsor malevolence, but let's see. Her half sister Samantha had a lot to say about Meghan, even before the marriage. This is a woman who gave up not one but three kids, lied about raising Meghan, and about how much hey actually knew each other. i Her father Thomas admitted that he lied to her about staging the pap shots, went on to blackmail her with interviews with Morgan, Wooton etc, insisting on his right to see his grandkids while not being in touch with his grandkids from his other children.

,Meghan is not a saint at all, she is as flawed as we all are. But nor is she the devil incarnate that she is portrayed as. And I will always defend her from the racism and misogynoir that she faced.

Yes this archaic institution has been doing it the same way since QEII came to the throne. It ain't working any more.

@MrsMaxDeWinter

So true. And let's not forget that Samantha Grant changed her name by deed poll to Markle the minute Meghan started dating Harry. What does that tell anyone? $$$$$ Thomas has been made out to be some sort of saint on here by certain posters now. As has Samantha.

It wil certainly outlive me lol, I'm not young! And my DCs possibly. That doesn't mean to say it's working. It's not. There will have to be massive changes for it to last decades to come.

MissMarpleRocks · 06/01/2023 09:54

Does anyone who really supports H&M think Harry was wise to lay so much of his soul bare?

Obviously we will have to wait for the book & interviews before making an impartial judgment but really was so much revelation wise?

For all those who condemned Meghan’s family for speaking out so publicly & breaching Meghan’s privacy surely what Harry has done is at least the same? And to me revealing a personal conversation with his father at the time his mother was dying is beyond the pale.

MrsMaxDeWinter · 06/01/2023 09:55

@Roussette

There is that fantastic line in the Crown: the age of deference is over. We are in the age of memes now. Heh.

The monarchy will outlive us @BethJ62 because of the constitutional position. Harry is not going to bring down the monarchy any more than his mother did. But the idea of the Royal Family as representing some sort of ideal, and embodying values of duty, family, etc has been blown out of the water. Of course they will hang in there. But the emperor has no clothes, and they have been reduced even more to what they are, a soap opera. That the king is an adulterer who will be succeeded by a king who is a thug behind closed doors is deliciously camp.

This is not true.

Simon Rex was offered money to lie about a tryst but declined it.

On mumsnet perhaps. Twitter tells a different story 🤷🏻‍♀️

Well there's certainly a plethora of memes in circulation after yesterday's revelations.

bloodyplanes · 06/01/2023 10:06

@MrsMaxDeWinter I don't think you can go by the fact that her colleagues on suits haven't said anything bad about her and attended her wedding. The vast majority of people in that line of work are narcissistic, attention seeking and self serving so her particular behaviour wouldn't seem out of place in that environment because many of them are also like it! Of course they all turned up at the wedding, like any of them we're going to miss getting their faces seen at the social event of the year that's being televised all around the world! She didn't even personally know half the people invited to her wedding! Maybe the ex's don't want to get dragged into her media circus and thats why they haven't said anything publicly? It's obvious william didn't like her, but also very obvious why he didn't like her! He saw what his dimwit brother couldn't and still can't see! That she's a manipulative bully
