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.

Where is it shown that Harry is friends with Sarah Ferguson? I've not seen that anywhere.

(p.s. blanket ban on DMail links)

Eugenie strikes me as being a sensible woman . I really can’t see her being impressed by the stuff Harry has written .,

Sensible? Hasn't she been lobbying Charles for a role for her father?

In one of their interviews they discuss going to Royal Lodge, Ferguson taught Meghan to curtsey. They were obviously more than acquaintances.

@Overtone no, technically they're Taliban fighters.

I don't think that means 'obviously'.

You mean best to be precise? Grin

The trouble is... the argument always is "well... everyone agrees Andrew is awful so there's nothing to discuss!"

But there are some thinly veiled attempts to support him. 'He hasn't done anything wrong'
'Innocent till proven guilty'
and then all the besmirching of the victims as a way of supporting him. I even saw on a thread on here 'he was just having fun, Guiffre was too. Who can blame him, he wasn't married' (or words to that effect)

So whilst any decent person thinks Andew is awful, it really is not everyone.

I, personally, think he's done far far more damage to the RF than Meghan & Harry.

I'm sure you're right but at the moment Harry is a complete laughing stock. He's damaging himself and it makes me sad to see it. He's hurt his family for no good reason. The RF as an institution is big enough and ugly enough to carry on.

Blossomtoes · 06/01/2023 18:41

You can think Andrew’s an awful excuse for a human being while acknowledging that he’s never been found guilty of anything @Roussette.

Maireas · 06/01/2023 18:43

Roussette · 06/01/2023 18:32

If you listen to the interview, it is obvious.
You may not like it, but Harry and Meghan are on friendly terms with Sarah Ferguson.
Their choice.

Maireas · 06/01/2023 18:46

The thing about Andrew is that he's not giving people any more ammunition. He's not protesting his innocence, writing books or doing more interviews.
That's why there's not much more to say about him. Harry, is certainly determined to keep in the headlines.

Abhannmor · 06/01/2023 18:51

It's hard not to feel for the individuals, privileged and spoilt as they are. There's nothing normal about their upbringing because the institution itself is abnormal.

I agree with other posters that its not going away soon however. Characters come and go but the soaps just go on and on.

If money laundering for corrupt Kazakh billionaires, fucking trafficked teens, hanging out with sex offenders isn’t ammunition I don’t know what is.

The operative phrase here is “any more ammunition”.

More than what? Like going on national TV or something?

Any more ammunition, I wrote.
I agree with you about Andrew - but he's not constantly creating news fodder.

Maireas · 06/01/2023 19:11

The Maitlis interview was 3 years ago?
He's at least had the sense to do no more.

What you mean is that the media isn’t focussing on him to the same degree. So MP’s calling for a full inquiry into his involvement in money laundering didn’t get much coverage comparative to Harry’s virginity.

The palace has basically bundled Andrew into a turret and locked the door.

Just a wild guess, but maybe she means that he didn't provide more ammunition by doing a four-part Netflix documentary, various interviews, and writing a detailed autobiography dripping with self-pity?

Maireas · 06/01/2023 19:18

I agree, @Mirabai - the point being that Harry must know that these weird, zany and very personal revelations will make headline news.
He's taking the heat off Andrew in that sense.

Yep Grin

Ain't that the troof

Private Coronation please. They are doing themselves no favours by rubbing our noses in their ermine, pearls and jewels. It's positively medieval. But bread and circuses.

Maireas · 06/01/2023 19:22

It's actually pre Medieval, isn't it?

Maireas · 06/01/2023 19:23

Anyway, it's going to be a big televised do.
I think Harry and Meghan will be there.

MissMarpleRocks · 06/01/2023 19:24

I’m actually hoping that this book excerpts are either fake or bad translations. For a man who cares so much about his own privacy he doesn’t seem to care much about anyone else’s.

It's every effin era FGS. For the peasants permanently outside the gate.
