Here you go, @GloriousD - I though Dolma put it very clearly, and the link was useful too:

The judgment will look something like this: https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Ch/2015/1482.html

General stuff that applies to all of them, then each claimant's case considered separately. The judge will take into account the generic case for each one (ie, that there is a lot of evidence of a general landscape of phone hacking), and each of the claimants will form part of that generic case for the others, but there won't be a direct link between one claimant in this case being successful and another one also being successful on account of them being tried together.
Gulati & Ors v MGN Ltd (un-redacted) [2015] EWHC 1482 (Ch) (21 May 2015)

That’s helpful - thank you

Yep! , how many copies does he have about his person? 🤣

Does he have to pay for overweight luggage cos he takes so many with him?

or maybe he tried to read it himself and gave up after a few pages?

🤷‍♀️ @TrashyPanda , I doubt he has to pay excess baggage fees though!
He's very important remember.

jeffgoldblum · 10/06/2023 12:58

Very strong David Brent vibes though!

One of the air stewards or rhar ever they are called has published a photo of himself with Harry on the plane. Harry left him a present .. of his book Spare! I wonder if he takes copies to give out to people as rewards wherever he goes. 😕

I had a vision of one of those religious zealot pamphleteers……

Where's @mixedrecycling ?
She ok?

I wonder if he counts each giveaway as a sold book to go towards his sales figures? I bet he leaves them for tips in the hotels. That's probably why he was staying with friends in NYC. The hotel that wouldn't give him reduced rates were actually trying to put him off staying for the good of the mental health of their staff. 😆

There was a line in his cross x where he told Andrew Green “it’s in my book” - as if he expected that Everyone would have read and retained it all. Doling it out on planes is his version of spreading the word, like a personal Gideon Bible

Gracewithoutend · 10/06/2023 13:04

Gideon Spare. It's his pseudonym. Hehe.

It’s his arrogant, ignorant, deluded assumption that another would want his ‘gift’.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 10/06/2023 13:04

William keeps a dignified silence and is all the more valued for that

While true, I'm not sure he has much choice if he wants to be seen as separate from the mess so many of his family have made of things

Though widely respected on the whole his sainted grandmother wasn't above giving two fingers to the public when it suited, and unquestioning respect is something his father's unlikely ever to have ... so somebody's got to keep up appearances even if, as is usual with this family, appearance is mostly what it is

Never mind the book, I'm still trying to work out if the steward's name as quoted in the article is genuine, or if the crewmember making an attempt to hide their identity (it happens) , or the DM jurnos have been he subject of a wind up.

If anyone has been out of the country recently you’ll agree the international view is v different .
Harry told the truth about the media and the ‘royals’ .
Harry is taking the media on and addressing how much damage it has done to the country
Willy took the money ( as if he needs it- sheer greed) and kept his mouth shut .
Willy needs a favourable press - he’s nothing without them .

I've just got back from the States. Whilst I didn't spend all of my trip discussing (or even thinking about) Harry, those Americans who spoke of him to me were unilaterally fed up with him and they reported a lot of negative press and media coverage there.

I've got family in the states, they say the same.

Like him using HRH in court, then Prince Harry

despite the BP statement in 2020 that neither of them would use HRH because they are no longer working members of the Royal Family.

could only be an attempt to show how important he is.

except he isn’t any more. He’s inconsequential.

What I think is interesting about Harry recently (all the brouhaha around his book, the coronation, his court case), is the absence of Meghan. For a long time, they were inseparable, clinging to one another any time they were in public, constantly touching and reassuring one another. Now you barely see them together and there are constant rumours that they're living separate lives, that he's spending time in hotels, that she's going to showbiz parties without him.

I feel like she's drawn a line under all the royal stuff recently and is moving on with her life, whereas he's stuck in the past, constantly raking over his many grievances. He clearly want to settle old scores, but no wonder his mental health is so poor - he should move on too. He's got £100 million in the bank, a huge house, the woman of his dreams, the kids he couldn't wait to have. He should really be enjoying his freedom.

TrashyPanda · 10/06/2023 13:15

He does seem miserable.

of course, he has ostracised himself from most of his family.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 10/06/2023 13:17

I did see it that way, @TrashyPanda . 'I've explained it in my book, haven't you even read it?' I followed his stint in the witness box via the now deleted thread, and wondered exactly what he thought he was expected to actually do. It seemed to be a case of 'well, I've bothered to turned up, now you find in my favour. Oh what, you mean I have to defend my allegations and provide evidence?'

FloofCloud · 10/06/2023 13:18

They're absolutely desperate for media attention, but only attention that tells them as the best people on the planet.. they're trying to silence everything else (sone might say the real them!)
I feel for PH losing his mum so young, and whilst the press were a catalyst, the fact is they had no seatbelts on and insisted on the driver, who was off duty and had been drinking, we're the reasons but he's fighting an ancient battle, it's been won already, after Diana and Milly Dowler the press have had to take a big step away.
Personally I think he wants some sort of free pass so the press don't report anything he doesn't want in the news, and they can spin their lies to the world using their glossy world type outlets of their Disney lives and try and carve a career in self bollox publicity and clambering up sone sort of ladder by using others to elevate themselves ..

Viviennemary · 10/06/2023 13:19

This Harry nonsense is beyond ridiculous. On the news it was mentioned before the war in Ukraine and the floods and threat at the nuclear power plant. But of course Harry's torment and problems need to take precedence over that. Madness.

maranella · 10/06/2023 13:20

He did seem really poorly prepared to be crossed questioned. Apparently, he had to have a junior lawyer sitting next to him to help him locate the various papers he needed to refer to - something even Johnny Depp didn't need! I wonder if his legal team were slightly tearing their hair out, because preparation for cross questioning is really important, but if you only fly in the evening before you're due in court, maybe there wasn't time?

TheCrystalPalace · 10/06/2023 13:21

Can he really be so dim as to have imagined that court would provide the evidence he needed? And that the journalists he's accusing would give answers to questions he couldn't account for himself?
And that the whole process would rehabilitate Meghan in Punic opinion?
Really???
