apparently the author will be serialising his new book in the dm weekly!
thought we might like to follow the snippets 😁

Does anyone else remember that in Finding Freedom, the authors mention a royal making a joke about Harry and Meghan by comparing them to The Prince and the Showgirl? I always imagined it was Prince Philip — trying to be clever, referencing the 1957 Marilyn Monroe film where she plays a glamorous chorus girl opposite a stiff, aristocratic prince.

But if it were Prince Andrew who said it, I can imagine the tone would be completely different. I can easily picture him making a sleazy remark referring to the 1995 film Showgirls — mentioning strippers, pole dancers, lap dancers, and the like. That would fit with the crass comments he’s known for, especially as described in this book.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Harry has decked him in the past - Andrew is a twat and Harry is known to have nasty temper and be easily provoked.

She will surely be expected to converse confidently and intelligently in the course of her 'duties'. Depending of course which causes she chooses to promote. Otherwise we get into Hilary Mantel territory. They all need to be more than ceremonial figureheads to be relevant in the 21st century, in my opinion. I do give King Charles great credit for his Princes (now Kings) Trust and Camilla with her championing of literature.

I don’t like these salacious rumours tbh. It’s on a par with those awful surrogacy rumours imo.

Prince Phillip wouldn’t be under the same roof as her which is why when she was at Balmoral for Christmascshe wasn’t allowed to stay in the main house. she stayed in a small cottage and the girls visited her there, as did the late HMTQ for afternoon tea or lunch.

I think she manages well nowadays. The original comments were in relation to her engagement interview with William, which would have been her first public outing.

I think she’s absolutely great now and it’s just my personal preference but I like her low-key, self-effacing style in public. She gets it - official duties aren’t usually about focusing attention on herself. F she were super-slick and loved the sound of her own voice I wouldn’t be so keen.

God I hope so!

Reminds me of this episode of the Windsors

”Daddy you’re missing Christmas joy, pretending to be British trade envoy” 🤣

The KING did serve and he attended RAF Cranwell the RAF version of Sandhurst, as well as the RNC Dartmouth which is the Naval equivalent of Sandhurst . He’s also a qualified military jet pilot as well as military helicopter pilot.

Sorry - I can’t edit the above.

I’m not expecting her to be a gifted orator, but one of the things that private schools usually instil is the ability to speak in public. The POW is good at off the cuff chats with the public- it seems to come naturally to her. Not so good at delivering a speech.

I don’t think he saw active service, did he?Ironically, only Andrew and Harry did!

I agree.

You are right. I should have paused before posting.

He served his country as a member of the armed forces just as today’s sailors, soldiers and airmen are said to be serving their country even though they’re not going to war.

And does not going to war during the years you’re a serving soldier, sailor or airman make you any less of a serviceman? I think not.

We all do and say things at time without thinking! 😁

I don’t like these salacious rumours tbh. It’s on a par with those awful surrogacy rumours imo

There’s currently a thread where people are speculating on the name of the woman Mylene CompletelackofKlass has mentioned in a story regarding her ex. So many innocent women are having their name bandied about and I just can’t understand why you would do that to someone. Maybe it’s a generation thing with me but no, just no no no!

I’m no fan of Meghan’s at all but I draw the line at talk of Yachts and I’m glad Jeff nipped the that aspect of the thread in the bud because it’s just not on and I don’t want to be associated with it at all.

The Windsors is brilliant! 😂

Maybe he doesn't want to be seen in the same light as William who allegedly punched him into the dog bowl and ripped his necklace? Waaaah!

Because it leads to Meghan. It's that simple. If there was a fight and alleged things said about her background...Harry can't have that.

It’s obvious that she is learning. Not that it will make me think badly of her one bit if she’s still very uncomfortable doing it when she’s the Queen Consort - I’d just feel very sorry for her that she has a job where she has to. I’d run a mile rather than do it.

White bloke talk? 😳

I'm reading several comments here about behaviours PA allegedly liked - fart jokes, sex jokes whatever. I'm not commenting at all on his sexual behaviour but I think much of the comments etc are not confined to white men of a certain class or public schoolboys ! I've met many public schoolboys including my sons and they cannot be lumped into one group like this. As to adding their colour - you think black or Asian men don't make sexual comments? I'm not trying to derail here but it makes me uncomfortable seeing some of these generalisations.

I'm not defending Andrew either. 🙄

On the other hand I feel for Beatrice and Eugenie
I suspect the apples don't fall far from that tree. What are they doing gadding around the middle East for ' work' when neither of them are qualified in anything and coincidentally not only had their bankrupt mother got a £5m house but their shady as duck father can suddenly raise the money to stay in his massive mansion? They were busy innocently fluttering their eyelids when thousands of £ turned up in their bank accounts mysteriously and middle aged men ( Epstein and Weinstein) were invited to their teen birthday parties.

Ok point taken. I was just referring to the privilege of these rich white men. I am well aware that these attitudes exist in non white men, for the record..

I’ve noticed she has a very soft, girlish voice (which is pleasant - I’m not knocking her). And I’m not using’girlish’ in a pejorative way - it’s an objective description. It’s what you might call a ‘head voice’ rather than a ‘chest voice’ and she could develop and change it with professional help as Mrs Thatcher did when she wanted to be taken more seriously as a senior politician.

But why should she? Quite honestly, I value authenticity in public figures these days. We’re surrounded by curated images and fake nests, so if the P’ess of Wales is a slightly hesitant public speaker, good for her. I’d rather that and that she’s sincere and her true self than she had training to turn her into the generic speakers we hear amongst politicians or on TV.

I agree with you, @LidlAmaretto , those women (they're late 30s, not girls) are involved in this and have culpability.
