Two brothers have fallen out, with one leaving the family business to go and live with his wife in her country.

That's it.

The only reason the spin off stuff (books, TV, interviews) happens is because all of you provide an audience for it.

Switch off and it will end, keep on engaging and YOU keep it going.

Unless of course you all actually enjoy the faux outrage Wink

It’s all the drama, Mick. I just love it.

Yup.

Palace salaries from what I hear are not that good, but the kudos of having worked for the royals can be parlayed into very decent salaries indeed when people leave to go elsewhere.

I think it's so us peasants can count our blessings. All the money in the world and look at the misery and fallouts.

it's all a bit whiny

Sadly, due the fact I've sullied my brain reading the virginity-loss thread, I couldn't but see that as "whinny".

Harry isn’t Churchill, the book was written to be a mass market bestseller. I am pretty sure that reading the entire book isn’t going to make an iota of different to any opinion of his story. The bits in between are going to be more of the same, just a bit less juicy.

This seems a fair point to me.
It's difficult to see how the various anecdotes being pointed and laughed at discussed would gain much from being read in context.

The book (and the NF series) were not 'full' accounts of his life - they were the edited highlights he chose to present.

So I don't see why other people shouldn't choose edited highlights from the selection of edited highlights he has elected to put in front of us.

His book isn't divine revelation... I think, though of course Diana does put in a from-the-grave appearance apparently 😂

‘I believe that most of thoses posters are paid palace pr people.‘

Actually this is true. We are all in a top secret bunker underneath Balmoral- Prince Albert’s converted wine cellar as a matter of fact.
Every so often King Charles pops down to see us and tell us to keep up the good work.
Best job ever.

I just wish they'd pay the broadband, but the WFH in pjs is ok.

Nah, I got the London gig. Currently under KP with a hotline to PW's office so he and Kate can keep me updated on what hate to post.

We're only given the second best wine though, which is a bit annoying...

I love it all though!! I watched the Netflix docu, may (may) buy the book! I can't stand H&M, and feel deeply sorry for H who will one day regret all this and that will be v v tough for him. But for some reason I really enjoy reading it all! 🙆🤷

Darn it! They found us!

Now excuse me while I hop back on the phone to Andrew to see what damage repair he wants me to do next!

50shadesofneigh · 06/01/2023 16:17

I've been quite frustrated by H&M's hypocrisy and aspersion casting... until now.

I haven't had such a good, long laugh in ages thanks to the unholy trinity of dubiously Spanish translated book excerpts (capes and horsey-smelling cottages), Harry's intimate penile oversharing and mumsnet's finest chatting about equine erotica.

All is forgiven. Thanks, H! 😊

CathyorClaire · 06/01/2023 16:19

gossip-hungry ghouls

Takes a bow.

Unfortunately RL keeps getting in the way of following the circus so closely my eyes fall out but the MN threads provide the finest summaries.

50shadesofneigh · 06/01/2023 16:19

I even dusted off the old username in tribute to the glorious Spare and the Mare

BadShepherd · 06/01/2023 16:20

I’m at the Balmoral bunker and my official title is Keeper of Major Johnny’s sporran.

Lucky cow! How'd you get that job?

rumship · 06/01/2023 16:23

@wegoagainplease Im bloody loving at, at its hilarious watching the Meghan and Harry fans that are usually flooding these Royal Family board with their virol creating an echo chamber being strangely very silent and in other cases fire fighting with extraordinary made up excuses for them.

Its hilarious. So where are the usual H&M vocal usual suspects?? 😂🔥

In a Montecito bunker somewhere?

H should be ecstatic that he's getting all this free publicity for his book on MN shouldn't he?

They're on a few threads. I see we're getting a few 'you're all paid palace pr!' ones, as well, because obviously being paid by the royals is the only reason anyone would be critical of The Book.

rumship · 06/01/2023 16:31

@Sweetpeasaremadeforbees Yep I'm delighted for them, they got to say their truth in all its glory without the twisted UK media changing it. After All I'm pretty sure the RF and media outlets would have not been so keen to stir up a new hornets nest with the Taliban and fanatics like Harry has on the world stage with his own book.

At least he got to vent his own truth with no one advising him no too 😬

ReneBumsWombats · 06/01/2023 16:34

I love the idea that I must be getting paid to find all this so absolutely hilarious.

MissMarpleRocks · 06/01/2023 16:34

Why am I here? Well I sometimes on these boards & at the moment I’m ill in bed (again) & this is excessively diverting & keeping me entertained. I’ve not gone to the virginity thread yet & not sure I want to.

Actually never have I been happier to be confined to my room & to just surf MN RF boards.
