His publisher has confirmed he's sold 400,000 copies across all formats in ONE DAY. That's probably a record breaking amount for a memoir.

@makingarunforit - apparently they were indeed hoping for Windsor Castle. Nice and castley to entertain A Listers and near Heathrow. This request was naturally given the bum’s rush.

This whole shitshow is because their “rival court” plan was shot down in flames. They were going to be the international glamour couple and William and Kate the duty-bound fuddy-duddies, opening community centres and dealing with the great unwashed.

Finding Freedom was a Flouncing Fuck You, plain and simple.

Surely, the MIL has cashed in more than enough by now.

I think 'the MiL' is entitled to 'cash in' on her own business. She had her own business before her 'royal connection' and she's entitled to promote that business. Has she advertised "The MiL of the PoW presents the new 'Party Pieces' range "Kensington Kiddies"? No. As far as the Rover deal, the headline says 'it's reported' making it a rumour.

I guess I'm American enough to feel that as long as the Middletons don't directly name and use their relationship with Kate and William and as long as they aren't trying to peddle 'influence' with K & W, then they can do what they want with their own names and their own business.

H & M are different. They're making money on the backs of the RF in a nasty way. If H&M had started, oh say, a clothing business that made scads of money I'd say well done to them. If M had restarted her acting career or H had written a smash hit spy novel and both landed major contracts, I say well done to them. But that's not what they've done. They're direct members of the family selling nasty (IMO false or 'spun') stories in order to build up their own 'brand'. They're making their money in a dirty way.

I CBA to tag the posts, but the Harry supporters are really getting desperate with their posts.

Must be terribly annoying to have so much shite out there, in print and on screen, with regards to the “truth” that he’s been peddling, all from his own mouth.

Right now I wouldn’t be surprised if, in a few days, people start blaming the ghostwriter for making it all up 🤣

The blame’s already started. Apparently he should have told Harold how damaging some of it would be.

Well, to be fair Harry has sold them out and left them all a bit high and dry on actual evidence to back up whatever the heck he is wanging on about. It's just a lot of 'people' leaking 'things'. Just put some meat on the bones of your resentment so people who actual support you don't have to continually scrape the very bottom of the barrel, turn themselves pretzel shaped and look like tits.

Jeez. Is that people on here or elsewhere on SM?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Harry pops up saying “what book! I never wrote a book” 🤣

So, for a laugh, I thought I’d try to post a funny photo in response to your post.

I was aiming for this (which I got by searching “double pretzel).

However, I initially google pretzel tits and clicked on images. Simply thinking there might be a slightly funny image of a pretzel looking like boobs. I can confirm that’s not the case. I need eye bleach. I am never going to attempt to be amusing again.

Here. The publisher and editor are also to blame. Allegedly.

Of course, stands to reason 🤣. Loved H on the Late Show last night, reiterating that it’s important to have a factual historical record 🤦🏻‍♀️

I know. Me too.

MeghanAndTheSeals · 12/01/2023 00:46

I really wouldn’t 🤣

Though it has now made me curious if it’s a well-known term. And, if not, just WHY that’s the first stuff to come up. Not a bloody pretzel to be seen.

I actually might have to contact Google to ask them.

I'm just laughing at the references to Frogmore Cottage as if it's a pokey little crofters cottage.

It's in the middle of the Crown Estate in Windsor. They spent £2.4 million doing it up. Does anybody have any idea of property prices in Windsor?!!!

Andrew's got bigger and he does precisely the sum of fuck all.

Oh no I know nothing about pretzel tits and I'm definitely not going to google. The mental image conjured up is enough for me.

Is selling a lot of books 'the last laugh'?

Is it going to make him happy in a year's time? 5 year's time?

It's the 'anyone can be famous for 15 minutes' thing, yes, if you are prepared to be outrageous enough you can get airtime. But then you live with the long term consequences.

Harry: " Landscape, geography, architecture, that's how my memory rolls,'

Dates? Sorry, I'll need to look them up.

Dialogue? I'll try my best, but make no verbatim claims, especially when it comes to the nineties."

Jackanory!

I wonder if the pair of them were expecting to get Windsor Castle?!

The Queen lived there. H knows the hierarchy.

Considering the aides were preventing them from seeing her, I suspect Harry wanted to bump into her and update her about what was being leaked about MM etc.

Considering she had a soft spot for him, I imagine they did not want him too close to her. If H kept updating her, she may put a stop on the leaks and lies.

To be fair to her, she did the next best thing (probably offered by the courtiers) and move them closer to her.
