Can someone please explain why people on these threads are so heavily invested in the lives of complete strangers, whose lives they know nothing about other than what they hear from the rags and tittle tattle and whom they are extremely unlikely to ever know.
That’s what mumsnet is all about!!!

we are all invested in each other’s bloody lives and we are all strangers to each other“

Huge difference between asking for advice and opinions and gossiping about people.

He clearly didn't write is as quite obviously he's thick as mince.

Only someone as thick as mince does this and doesn't think through the full repercussions.

Apparently ghost written by Jilly Cooper on another thread 😂

Well he is entitled to write a book and if someone is willing to publish it so be it. Not really for me to say what he should or shouldn't do.

I’ve managed to live nearly 60 years without giving them much thought.

You didn't say what the AIBU/AINBU options were though.

So this needs to be in The Royal Family topic.

Well as you're on of the people on the thread, what are yours?

You seem very interested in the views/motives of other people

Which is probably much the same for many

i clarified later @BIWI

I think fair play to him. Anyone is entitled to write a biography about their life, including Harry.

Such wide-eyed faux innocence! With a side order of snobbery. 🙄

People are posting about people they don't know, for the same reason you are posting on THIS forum. 😏

Bullshit. Nothing wide eyed or faux about it. It’s pathetic.
If being disgusted about people salivating about the unhappiness of people they don’t know makes me a snob, then I’m very happy to be a snob.

This in spades

mumsnet isn’t just about advice and opinions though. It’s about discussion and debate on any topic.

let’s call it a book review if that makes you happier

@BIWI

theres no reason to move the thread. It has a place in AIBU like any other topic. Don’t try and censor what other people want to discuss

Indeedd🙏it won't unfortunately because poster on here are obsessed 😭

@blubberyboo I'm not trying to censor it. I don't believe in censorship at all.

However, I do believe that people should post in the right place, and there is a perfectly serviceable topic called The Royal Family that this could have been posted in.

I think he's an idiot to bring up the military stuff and I think it's pretty shit to talk about 'mounting' an older woman in a field behind a pub. It will only lead to loads of speculation and lots of women will be hauled over the coals about this, true or not.

But he and his feminist wife hate the media so obviously would never want to drag any potential 'older' woman in Harry's life when he was 17 into a press circus and leave them open to endless questions of 'was it you?' until the true name os discovered.

why does it matter @BIWI
so you could have ignored it?

anyway.
unfortunately it is in aibu meaning is he unreasonable

Well you clicked on it. Not exactly an ambiguous title was it?

Anything which further discredits the monarchy and makes its abolition more likely is fine by me. Start work on Volume 2, Harry!

oh fucks sake!

Why does it matter? Because I'm so sick and tired of reading all the malicious, nasty, gossip-mongering stuff about Harry and Meghan that I've hidden The Royal Family topic. So it makes me irritable when I see stuff posted outside of that topic!

now ther eis no fucking poll
what a stupid load of thread police there in mumsnet

however you are here @BIWI - move along now

@MrsSkylerWhite you are taking the moral high ground but human nature is human nature. People are nosey, they like gossip. Why is social media so popular? And have you ever heard of schadenfreude?

Ha ha! I'm only here because now it's been moved! Thank fuck for that.

<makes rapid exit from the RF topic>

I get sick and tired of talking about money all day and then someone comes on here and talks about mortgage interest rates in AIBU

Aaargh why can they not just post in the MONEY section??

stop opening threads and reading them if you don’t like the title. Scroll on and read another thread.
