Prince Andrew writing a book

[Viviennemary]

The Daily Mail,are reporting that Prince Andrew is in talks with a publishing company. If he is short of money I can see why he is doing this. Harry made megabucks from Spare. Don't think Charles will be too happy though. I suppose he has nothing to lose.

What does it explain?
Oh and you have that wrong and have made yourself look silly with that assumption - I'm no royalist.

Andrew paying off his trafficked victim :
'Meh'
Charles walking off with plastic bags stuffed with cash :
'Meh'
Mountbatten and other 'royal' gurus known pedophiles :
'Meh'
'Royals' insisting on being above the law :
'Meh'
'Royals' links to tabloids to spread propaganda to suit their own narrative :
'Meh'

As infinitum
'Meh'
Just roll over . No chance you'd grow a back bone ?
'Meh'

Yup we love them and ceaseless carping from the malcontents won't penetrate our Royalist Shield of Servility and Deference. God save the King !

No one wants this

Royal Family isnt going anywhere in my lifetime so I'm not going to froth over it. If there was a referendum I'd vote to keep the monarchy because 'meh' I'm not convinced the alternative would be any better or the the country would be any richer.

I like to think I'm more a 'realist' rather than a 'royalist'.

I'm addicted to ChatGPT never mind the future of the monarchy what is the future for us ?

Write me a song about being a realist rather than a royalist re Prince Andrew writing a book in the style of Gilbert and Sullivan ....

Verse 1:
Oh, listen to me, good people, if you will,
Of a matter that's causing a great deal of ill,
Prince Andrew, it seems, is planning to write,
A book that will surely be a terrible blight.

Chorus:
For I'm a realist, and not a royalist,
And I'll speak my mind, come what may,
And I say that this book should not exist,
For the truth, it will only betray.

Verse 2:
Now, I know some folks will say that it's his right,
To tell his story, without any fright,
But we can't forget the harm that he's done,
And the victims of Epstein, every single one.

Chorus:
For I'm a realist, and not a royalist,
And I'll speak my mind, come what may,
And I say that this book should not exist,
For the truth, it will only betray.

Verse 3:
It's not just about what's right or wrong,
It's about the message that will be sent along,
If a man like him can profit from his misdeeds,
What kind of society are we trying to lead?

Chorus:
For I'm a realist, and not a royalist,
And I'll speak my mind, come what may,
And I say that this book should not exist,
For the truth, it will only betray.

Verse 4:
So, let's not forget the victims in this fight,
And let's not allow the powerful to take flight,
We need to hold them accountable, one and all,
And not let them hide behind a royalist call.

Chorus:
For I'm a realist, and not a royalist,
And I'll speak my mind, come what may,
And I say that this book should not exist,
For the truth, it will only betray.

@vera99 What the heckety heck😂

Oh and my opinion (fwiw) - Andrew wont write a book, it's just his way of saying 'look at me I'm still here, my big brother Charles is getting all the attention and I want some of it - waagghh!

Nobody is going to give Andrew a multi million pound book deal

I wouldn't be too sure of that, given the time he's been around and what he'll have seen

Clearly the Mail's not to be relied on so there's no point in getting excited quite yet, but I've said for years that I doubt Charles can afford to piss him off too much so who knows?

"Pizza the Action"

Brilliant!!

Please can he use Isobel Oakshott as a ghost writer?

The deal would bea book, syndication and exclusive interviews. Netflix would be interested. One angle could be play up the playboy Prince and frame himself as a sex addict with numerous women who consensually threw themselves at him. Epstein is framed as he helped me out with money and seemed to have numerous young but of age woman in his orbit one of whom threw herself at me. I had no idea or knowledge of the trafficking side and indeed Ghislaine was a long time friend and previous lover. I deeply regret my behaviour and lying to protect the dignity of my late mother and I may be a cad and a bounder, but I'm not a criminal. Keep away from other family stuff to keep Charles onside, and it might just work.

@vera99 is that you Tim?

Minchin obv.

Very good .. one has to have done the old breathing exercises to do it justice.

Yeah I think people are just losing the taste for seeing people like Edward & Sophie swanning around somewhere like Bagshott Park.
I mean really I’m sure they’re very pleasant and all but there is nothing special about them is there? I Should we assume a promise to see them all right was extracted from HRH before she sotmc?
Once the mystique has gone that’s it .. we’re just not falling for it anymore.

I see I’m by myself on this thread now☹️ I must get myself booked on that ‘How to stop being a thread killer’ course.

@vera99 i meant to ask - that verse is to the tune of Three Little Maids, isn’t it?

Charles is sneaking Andrew back to duties. The book if it does appear will be with Charles and the KP PR team's careful husbandry of the message maybe along the mea culpa lines I outlined above.

Probably ! ChatGPT is just insane at the amount of data it can process in a query. I asked it to write a poem about Mumsnet which took it 10 seconds to do. I should start a thread about it !

Mumsnet, oh haven of mothers,
A place of sharing like no other,
A community where parents unite,
To seek advice and shed some light.

From sleepless nights to potty training,
Mumsnetters are there, unwavering,
With helpful tips and witty quips,
To ease the stress and lift the spirits.

From serious issues to daily chores,
Mumsnet's the place where knowledge pours,
With empathy and kindness to spare,
A safe space for all to share.

Mumsnetters, with their words so wise,
Offer comfort and support that lies,
In the power of shared experience,
A bond that defies all distance.

From pregnancy to the teenage years,
Mumsnet's there to calm the fears,
With threads and posts that resonate,
A lifeline in a world of debate.

So here's to Mumsnet, the online hub,
Where mothers gather, share and love,
A community of strength and care,
A place where every mum's a hero to share.

No, Foul Fergie is doing it. ‘The handsome, honourable and definitely not sex pesty Prince walked majestically across the room, his intelligent, piercing glance taking in the teddy bears, lined up to perfection’. Then she’ll do one of her frankly hilarious videos filmed and egged on by the daughters in the grounds of wherever they’re then living.

Charles is sneaking Andrew back to duties.

He was see cavorting round a shoot (yet another unsavoury royal throwback practice) with Anne and Edward earlier this year.

They are all conniving in it.

@vera99 Did you write that? So beautiful. I refuse to believe that Skynet could be so poetic

NO ! It's a computer Artificial Intelligence program that's quite frightening. I asked it for a limerick about Mumsnet and it gave me 3 ! The Hallmark cards writers should be worried as should many more.

There once was a site called Mumsnet,
Where parents would often connect,
They'd chat and they'd share,
Their stories with care,
And support each other direct

From potty training to sleepless nights,
Mumsnet had all the parenting sights,
Advice that was sound,
And wisdom profound,
For parents of all different types

So if you're a mum or a dad,
And need some advice that's not bad,
Just head to Mumsnet,
And you'll never forget,
The community you've just had.

He funds her to the tune of a couple of million pounds a year.

Hardly surprising she defends him - I wouldn’t go on record telling the tabloids that my meal ticket was a slimy sex pest who preyed on teenaged girls, treated the staff like shit on his shoe, and had the brain cells of two amoebas holding hands, either.

In the words of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman- ‘big mistake-huge’

Has ANdrew not observed how Harry giving is side has not exonerated him, it's made him look worse!

I think this is chittering chatter to get Charles to agree to cough up.

Edward and Sophie pay full rental on that, I think it's £90,000 a year rent- unlike Andrew who pays £250.00 a week for his pile. They also paid £5million for the lease to be extended and about £2million for the renovations. Huge difference between them and Andrew.
