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.

Yes. I did say it was crossed wires. Yes, we are caught up.

@Roussette think of it this way, if people are bashing you about a mistake you apologised for. Well at least they are giving H&M a break. Maybe you should no and be reborn😀

@parksandrecs

OK. I will give my opinion. And no one should blame me because the thread has been derailed, but you are obviously desperate to know.

Money. She came back to live with PA because of money. After years of living in the US.. on the circuit over there, being back on the edges of the RF and able to live on a Royal estate was more lucrative and appealed more to her than independence. This is just my opinion.

OK? No racism there. I hope I have clarified for you now.

Many thanks! I agree

Phew!

@Roussette root canals can be painless and also be performed by extremely handsome men. If you ever need a recommendation in the Surrey area let me know 😃

Hahaha... I will say... I bet my dentist is more handsome than yours! He is just lovely. What a shame he has to cope with my teeth! (I had two out 2 weeks ago... arghhhhhhh)

😂

My mum goes on about how handsome ('dishy'!) her dentist is... I have to go NHS and can't afford him!

Excuse me, you are the one who is in the wrong! You can't rehash things said much earlier without reading follow-up posts. It makes your post to @Roussette invalid. She did apologise and correct, there was a bit of back and forth about it. Its rude to raise it again and then take offence at @Roussette pointing out her follow up posts.

she didn't make implications at all though, its you that decided to use the very serious issue of racism, plucked from thin air. You can't imagine something terrible and then expect an apology or explanation for something that never happened.

No, I didn't take it that way.

It was about SF - It's not even worth discussing.

Does anyone at all care to try and get back on track and discuss absolutely any other aspect of this book than:

Harry vs. Sarah
Harry vs. Andrew

and without personal attacks on one another?

Are any chapters even released?

and without personal attacks on one another?

I'm fed up with my posts being held up to forensic scrutiny so I'd welcome that I can tell you!

@Iwantcakeeveryday I think they have moved on. Not sure why you’re rehashing.

I’d love to chat about this nonsense without reading all the insults and tsking and “clearly your values…” blah blah blah.

It won’t happen.

@roussette (sorry to at you but wanted to attract your attention!) do you think that M&H (well, particularly H) will follow Sarah Ferguson’s “lead” and if they struggle financially will seek to find a bolthole on a royal estate? I know Harry obviously has a lot more money than SF ever had, but his and M’s tastes are extravagant, and unless Meghan comes up trumps with some of her producing endeavours, they’re going to be a bit strapped. (As I could dream of being that strapped!).

You are absolutely right. I misread the post, and as the H&M supporters are so quick to claim 'racism' I assumed wrongly that this was the same implication. My bad (as teenage DD would say!).

Interesting question @LadyMuckingabout

Just my opinion but I don't think for one minute they will come back to a Royal Estate here. Not for one minute.

What circumstances could they come back in? There aren't any AFAIC. As far as SF.. she was not given as much as she wanted or needed in the divorce settlement, she had hugely extravagent tastes and was bordering on bankruptcy more than once. So she came back. (just my opinion!)

As time rolls by and their life in the US becomes more firmly established, it would be a huge wrench to move children back here. There would be no role for them that I could see. And the media would go wild and who would want to live with that hanging over them day in day out? It's bad enough when they live thousands of miles away.
I think Harry has been a square peg in a round hole and not happy within the RF for a long time, then along comes Meghan and there was a reason to make the break.
Who knows on their finances, that's up to them isn't it...
So - to me - bottom line, can't see it, no.

Thanks for the question, I like discussion!

How to explain as if it is any of your business I had not read Rousette's apology before I wrote my post. I will read posts in the way I want and respond to them in that way thanks very much. No need for you to involve yourself. As. pilates said things have moved on or do you not like that?

So do I! I think Harry is still a square peg. I really don’t think he saw Hollywood as his escape route. I really believe he wanted to live a White Mischief life somewhere in Africa. I understand it still goes on, under the radar of mere mortals. Meghan obviously had no intention of going along with this set-up (and I don’t blame her!).

Money. She came back to live with PA because of money.

Catching up and this is exactly what I thought you meant, Roussette.

I entirely agree.

FTR I also agree with Serenster (for once 😉) when she says:

I think most people probably know who “Prince Harry” is. So I don’t think he needed to use his Duke of Sussex title and royal monogram with the gold coronet on the big screen at the arena.

It's quite telling that Harold wasn't bothered about his 'status' back in the day when he thought the megabucks were going to come rolling in as indeed they did. If anything he downplayed it (JCMH).

Resorting to royal bling just as they all do but with even less reason looks a bit crass.

so you can call out @Roussette for her posts repeatedly, even after she explained to you, but nobody can challenge you on that?
Its very ironic for @pilates to tell me not to rehash when in fact they also stuck their oar in! If things have moved on, why reply?

You couldn't see things had moved on ? Roussette is perfectly competent in conducting a discussion with other people without your input. I really can't understand why you brought it up again when it was all settled? I replied to you because you stuck your oar in when it had nothing to do with you. 😂

To be honest, I appreciate the support, and I won't pretend otherwise. But I don't want others got at for lending me said support.

Anyway... let's move on. I might be competent when defending myself but when I have actually apologised immediately for saying something that others say all the time, it's a bit galling to be pulled up on it.

But it's over, I stood my ground, end of.
