Heads up, Omid is back on the PR trail...

BTW, can anyone explain why he's Harper's Royal reporter when he only seems to have access to or report on Harry and Meghan? It's a bit strange.

Harry and Meghan's biographer calls King Charles 'unpopular' in scathing jibe

Omid Scobie's new 'explosive' book Endgame will be published on November 28 - and its description on Amazon says the author investigates the current state of the British monarchy

@Roussette what is it that you “know”?

Roussette · 22/11/2023 17:12

I'm inclined to agree with your first post about her, I think she was treated very badly.

As for what I know... it's just opinion and I will be accused of derailing so I will refrain.

GreekDogRescue · 22/11/2023 17:45

I doubt anyone will buy his book.
The Sussexes are a busted flush, completely irrelevant and will become more so as the Cambridge children grow older.

As I read it they are implying you are racist

Absolutely not

That is not what I meant at all. No idea how you managed to deduce that from my post.

Please don't assume something I have not said or even implied. Thank you.

parksandrecs · 22/11/2023 17:49

Glad to hear it.

That's how it came across to me.

Do you imagine the USA would never call him Prince Harry? Wouldn't happen! I hope he carries on using it. His father is King of England, that won't ever change. Why shouldn't he

King of ENGLAND ???????????????? Gee whizz...

Maybe best not to hint - it gives too much room for misinterpretation

Would you pay me the courtesy of reading my profound apology straight after I said this by mistake?

Thanks

Maybe best not to jump to conclusions when your post could not be further from my opinion on this subject.

Unfortunately ( for you I guess ) I read posts and comment - I don't read all of them then comment so that's how the cookie crumbles.

JSMill · 22/11/2023 17:58

Speaking as a Scot, most Scottish people do get offended when people say King or Queen of England. It says that we don't count. If people don't get that, fine but I promise you it does irritate many people 'north of the border'.

You managed to read my comment at 12.55 (5 hours ago) and I corrected myself within 3 minutes and 3 posts after.

How strange you missed that.

LadyMuckingabout · 22/11/2023 18:03

The papers/social media cover H&M simply because they want to prolong the argy-bargy with the rf. And some people are desperate for them to thrive, and others watching them trying to desperately survive.

There was probably a lot of attention on Edward & Wallis in the early days. And then not so much trickling down to none at all. H&M are not some rival court and are not working royals. They are just celebrities.

Omid’s book is a bit late - everyone’s kind of moved on.

mrsmingleton · 22/11/2023 18:06

queentim · 22/11/2023 16:13

I didn't read it as such as particularly denigrating, in the same way I wouldn't necessarily read a statistic, if true. Example, if someone said "white men above 30 in the London area are Labour's biggest supporters". If it's true, it's true.

But I think personal feelings between posters may be involved here for some

It is therefore just like saying that Meghan is a Princess for black women 0 - 45 who live in Lewisham and Peckham?

I did what? What on earth are you on about ? You can see when I look at your posts? I literally sat down about an hour ago with my laptop as I have been at the dentist all afternoon getting a root canal and a temporary crown not a King of England type . Sheer madness.....

Roussette · 22/11/2023 18:10

Root canals are horrible, my sympathies.

Perhaps your post in capitals KING OF ENGLAND was not directed at me? If so... that is fine, let's drop it.

mrsmingleton · 22/11/2023 18:13

Oh wait... you didn't understand what I meant. Let me explain again - I read a post ( a single post) and if I feel the need to comment then I do at that point . I do not read every single post made in the past 5 hours and then comment at the end as there may be a couple I want to comment on and would lose track😂

Roussette · 22/11/2023 18:15

I'm lost. Let's leave it. All I know is... I corrected my post talking of the King of England within minutes.

Let's just forget it, crossed wires no doubt.

mrsmingleton · 22/11/2023 18:15

Cross post there ! @Roussette you always use this phrase though "let's drop it" when you have cocked up or can't answer something ....but yes let's do 😂For one minute I thought there was a feature like in Whatsapp that let me know when people read posts but there isn't

Roussette · 22/11/2023 18:16

Please stop. I haven't cocked anything up at all. I am not making personal comments about the way you post so perhaps not do that with me?

parksandrecs · 22/11/2023 18:16

Roussette · 22/11/2023 17:54

all any of us have to go on is what people post here.

You made it clear you were implying something you weren't stating.

I tried to fill in the gap you made clear existed. My guess might have been wrong, but I wouldn't have made a guess if you hadn't clearly indicated that you were implying something unsaid.

Happy to know the subtext wasn't racism

mrsmingleton · 22/11/2023 18:20

Roussette · 22/11/2023 18:16

Please don't say this to me to stop. I said we cross posted. I've seen your post 5 hours later and I have now seen your apology about it so we are all caught up. I'm not on here 24/7.

Roussette · 22/11/2023 18:21

Oh FFS. This is obviously the time to pick apart my posts.

I have not in a million years implied racism about SF or anything on here .. this is just an excuse to imagine something that doesn't exist

I purposely did not want to derail the thread but obviously that's not enough for me to say.

parksandrecs · 22/11/2023 18:22

Roussette · 22/11/2023 16:42

So it IS a different rule for a Father. And the number of books she wrote using her title is just making money, and that's OK. Hmm
I know she was badly treated by the RF when she divorced ... financially. You'd think she would want nothing to do with them, but no. I wonder why ?! as if I didn't know
But she has made up for it in other ways, taking money here and there with dodgy deals. I don't want to be accused of derailing, but there are a few posts on this today on the thread 'Prince Andrew back in the fold'. It's pretty shocking!

I can't quite get my head round your reasoning I'll be honest!

Edited

for clarity, what are you referring to with the 'line through' "as if I didn't know"?
