According to Twitter this is a real step up

It did better than sell well , it broke all sales records!

SPARE was a huge success because it revealed information about the RF, in particular Kate, Wills and Camilla. Most people, if they're honest, were reading it for dog bowl not psychotherapy.

Harry just doesn't have access to those people any more. Perhaps there's still a bit of material he can use from the period leading up to the Queen's funeral, but it must be getting a bit sparse from around the time of PP's funeral onwards as his family stopped wanting to talk to him.

So perhaps one more book with interesting revelations in it. Then what?

Why call those without that specialist knowledge ignorant?

That’s exactly what you’re implying in posting this, though:

“It is interesting to see WME being "advised" on their own clients by Mumsnetters who, until the news broke, had no idea who WME were”

'where is the criticism for her brother- and sister-in-law who did the same for a lot longer and with a massive team around them?'

You've not been 'round these here parts very long, have you?

I don't "imply."

I use clear words.

As I have done here.

Thanks.

ITV is apparently doing a documentary on William this summer.

We will see, won't we, whether that garners 81 million views as Harry and Meghan's did.

After all, it is the Royal Family that sells.

No it's not the RF that sells - eg many people are barely interested in the Coronation . It is the RF Jeremy Kyle show aka H and M that sold initially but they are running out of new stories now.

Having known a few of the Emanuels via DH, I know what they broadly represent. I would say that these types of signings do nothing to quieten the conspiracy rumours about the globalists. Those theories resurface every time they pimp, prep and roll out another show pony. Mysteriously massive donations and very little output to show for it is also a concern. But then, the same accusation could be levied against the royals 😏
One man's meat being another man's poison and all that.

If ITV were doing a documentary on William where he spills the beans on growing up as the elder sibling to a spoilt man child and all the shenanigans from his pov ( plus Kate’s opinion on her brother in law pre and post Meghan) it would get 200 million views 😁
but it won’t be that

It's so laughable that fans of Meghan and Harry confuse popularity with notoriety 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Hats off to them though for milking an institution they criticise, call racist, corrupt and many other things, while refusing to give up titles associated with this cesspit of an institution. And we won't mention them giving their American children royal titles, you know the institution that got fat on slavery and oppression of other darker races back in the mists of time. What an odd thing to do. 'We've called you Prince Archie because we believe your mixed race heritage needs a valuable link to a family with a history of oppression against your racial heritage'. Make it make sense!

Can you imagine if the royal family did a Netflix deal to refute all H&Ms lies and distortions. It would indeed have many millions of views.

As Harry and Meghan have demonstrated so well and so lucratively, mud slinging works!

I do like @Serenster’s posts. They are clear and insightful

And deal in fact not emotion and hyperbole.

I don’t think William will be discussing his sibling’s private parts - or his own for that matter 😂😂 I’ll be watching as it is about the life of a working royal which I hope to enjoy

Thank you both, that’s very kind! ☺️

And deal in fact not emotion and hyperbole.

Calling people ignorant and ‘beyond hope’ doesn’t really fit that description.

Of course you do😁

Zara Tindall's agent

O/T but this is Peter Phillips 'events company' (the one that netted him more in fees for the uncontested tender for the Patron's Lunch than the event raised for charity).

He's still listed as managing director on the website but stepped down as a person with significant control in February 2022.

No. I've no idea what's going on either...

This agency are Kim Kardasian’s agency, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they do some reality TV as I don’t think she will get much acting work.

I can imagine the scripted reality show, with the pitch ‘Kardasians with class’

This is what I was going to say. She has done very well at making and leveraging relationships with the right people for social climbing and status. It is defintiely something she is good at. She typically then drops the people once they can no longer help her purposes (family, husband, mulroney's etc).

She invited people to the wedding she barely knew but who had clout and status and then worked hard to get to know them to cash in on their status. I am not sure how one uses that skill / talent to make money but it is definitely a strength she has. Climbing the social ladder (or career ladder) is easier for people who don't care about the people they step on or step over to get there. They just see them as a means to an end and forget about them after their usefulness is gone. Not an uncommon quality in CEOs, although often associated with narcissism.

I am curious to see what talent they see her as having that can be used at the agency. Fame and name recognition for marrying rich might get you into a spot on Real Wives or talk show host. I wonder if that is the direction she wants to go?

I know what you mean and I'm glad you took my comment as it was meant.
It is difficult to think of a good example. I suppose some people have strong views on the RF and that's why Meghan's position is difficult to find a comparison to. If she'd ended up marrying a British sportsman or actor or other famous person, I don't suppose anybody would have taken much notice, even if they did relocate to the USA.
Maybe we'd have seen something similar if there'd been social media in the days of Edward and Wallace...

If you want to say something to me Serenster, just say it to me. You were being insulting and rude to people discussing the case, none of whom are lawyers so shouldn’t be expected to understand it. You called us ignorant.

If you're making incorrect comments on something that you admit you don't understand, doesn't that indeed make you ignorant, as in having no knowledge of the facts. @serenster doesn't comment that much and they always post accurate and well-laid out comments on the law which are interesting to read.

The anti fans are so weird about the RF and the institution of the monarchy. Have none of you read any history of your various royal families? The vituperative comments about Meghan’s guests at the wedding? She social climbed her guest list—do you all think that the mass marketing campsign around her wedding was something she dreamed up and the RF really wanted a registery affair? The RF marketed the shit out of the marriage and wedding because they hoped it would be good for business. They, themselves, call it “the firm” and it is very publicly run along exploitative, capitalist, lines. They sell back to the British people culture, glamor, and even charge you all to visit national monuments that you already own. And its H and M who are greedy exploiters of unearned position?

I'm not anti monarchy but I'd hate to be born into the royal family. I know if i had my life under press scrutiny, my mother and father talking about their affairs in interviews and slating each other, lost my mum in a tragic accident and to walk behind her coffin in front of the whole world and no that from birth, my brother was important than me and therefore favoured and more protected. I think we made Harry what he is. I think Meghan is similar to Yoko Ono and Linda Mccattrey. They received a lot of hate from the public but both their husbands stood by the. Its misogony i suppose.

They sell back to the British people culture, glamor, and even charge you all to visit national monuments that you already own.

Do the French not have to pay to go in Versailles, then? I mean, isn't it just true that most countries charge their citizens to go into state owned palaces, monuments, etc.

But do the French have to pay tax to a Royal Family?
