Omid Scobie Endgame PART 3

[Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstotheyard]

La Pom Pom Girl is doing the Double Dutch. But who is turning the skipping ropes? Part three/trois/drie of the continuing discussion of Endgame by Omid Scobie. Previous thread:

Harry is clearly eaten up with jealousy towards William.
Meghan is clearly eaten up with jealousy about Kate. How desperately unedifying. They have shown themselves to be very immature and petty, and not feminist in the slightest.

I wonder if he has a couple of acknowledgement pages at the end of the book where he thanks contributors and sources and people he's spoken to or if they're left blank? 😅

I genuinely think a lot of this whole saga stems from Megan, and possibly Harry as he just doesn’t seem to realise how things work in his own family, not realising why the Cambridge children had all been given titles by LPs by the Queen.

Avoiding the sexism row that would have erupted had W & K had a daughter, who would have been Queen, and she not been HRH Princess seems to have inadvertently been a large part of the feeling of inequality on H & M’s part.

Ive always felt that that’s what Megan meant when she said that they expected the grandchildren to be treated equally. I think they fully expected LPs to be issued for Harry’s children as well and were genuinely surprised when they weren’t.

Do you know anyone who will buy this book ?
I don't so wondering what kind of people do.

Totally agree.

I am challenging posters on this thread who are throwing pretty wild accusations around, presenting as fact their own notions and opinions.

There are also a lot of really horrible things being hoped for against two people with a young family.

it reads a lot like pure malice. And yes, I will speak up when I have the energy.

Pure malice. Ironic that. I think we know where the pure malice is coming from.

I agree with you @EnoughIsay . Endgame is full of wild accusations presenting as fact. And then there’s the horrible things being said about Kate who has a young family. Nasty. Just nasty.

Are people 'with a young family' somehow special and immune from criticism?

Does that also apply to Kate, who has been subject to pretty nasty accusations? Which can only have come from certain people?

Re: the Palace aide suggestion, I'd be surprised if the King keeps his personal correspondence at BP. It's not his home. More likely he keeps it in his private study at Highgrove.

So much hatred, spite, bitterness and cruelty runs through these two it’s unfathomable to me that they have fans.

There. The post just above mine. This is just an awful thing to write about someone you do not know.

Almost every post on this thread has this tone.

For me that is pure malice - yes.

I will leave you all to enjoy yourselves. This is not my kind of party.

I have not read and nor will I read the book

All women who marry into that family get the most horrendous, nasty treatment from the press and the public.

Tbey perform the function of human shields for the men of whom the best that can be said is that they are incompetent.

it reveals SO much about us a nation.

Well, to use a favourite MN saying, it's not an airport. You don't have to announce you're leaving.

Of course it applies to PoW too.

But on this thread the vitriol is aimed at you know who.

In my experience, folks who do a big dramatic flounce always end up coming back for more. This particular flounce didn't even last 5 minutes!

Can we ignore the derailers. plz?

You can say her name, she's not Voldemort. 🤣

Yeah, noticed that. 😂

The topic of this thread is a book which contains allegations, some of them very serious, against Kate. So strangely enough, that is in fact what people are discussing.

If you're not interested in that, you could just leave the discussion as you have promised.

It's not as if that poster has actually contributed anything bar the usual 'you're all haterzzzzzz' a couple of times today.

I agree with ignoring derailers.

It beats me why Charles would put pen to paper to Meghan. Or was this before their Oprah stuff? And where is this letter now? I presume copies are kept of correspondence sent, even personal letters.

Didn’t Princess Anne have a giant bonfire when HMTQM and Princess Margaret died? Or someone did. I’m sure I read that private correspondence was burned so that they wouldn’t end up in the Royal Archives.

I think that was just a rumour.

Anne wouldn’t have had Margaret’s stuff - that would have been her children, and there were some private notes and letters left with the jewellery that was sold in the big auction.

i wouldn’t be surprised if both HMTQM and Margaret got rid of stuff themselves before they died. Rather than leaving anything dodgy or controversial to their child/children.
