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

You don’t say?! 🤣

I just don’t think that happens outside books and films! “Take that, you bounder!”

And I just can’t imagine Harry taking the moral high ground in those days. Recently he’s positioned himself as a moral crusader but I don’t get the impression that was very “him” in the past!🤣

It’s certainly been around all my life- I remember talking about it with my mother at the time of C&D’s wedding…..

Well, it was 2013 reportedly.

So Harry was still in the army, although doing royal things like attending the Warrior Games being ‘inspired’ to become the heroic sole founder of Invictus not. Uncle Andy might have taken a swipe there about H’s planned army retirement grift, being defensive about his own forced retirement from the navy? Had he found the royal even thicker than himself to goad?

H was dating Cressida. She probably caught Andrew’s vile eye.

And there’s the possibility that Andrew got petty in 2013 about Harry tapping up the infamous Mahfouz Marei Mubarak bin Mahfouz (see: the royal ‘cash for honours’ allegations that emerged in 2022) for donations for Sentebale and Walking With The Wounded. Maybe Uncle Andy wanted those pickings after Charles?

I don't think we can blame this on Andrew (although we can try) but I've just got in from Windsor and I have never, in 25 years, seen it so dead! I know it's a Monday but it's also August and high tourist season. It's very strange.

He doesn’t even take the moral high ground now - he just pretends he does!

Funnily enough I don't think so. Rehashing the same old stuff from years ago though is.

As you know we digress ....threads evolve ...

Today’s excerpt from the book concentrates on Sarah Ferguson and if someone can explain to me how I link to it I will.

But pls hurry up because I can’t wait to share it with you it really is that good. 🙈

Here it is, @Weepixie:

Oh it’s a corker.

Fergie, Duchess of Greed: Eye-popping debts, dubious 'charity work' and the vulgar truth of exactly what Prince Andrew's ex squanders money she doesn't have on, all exposed by the book Royals tried to ban

• Every night she demanded a whole side of beef, a leg of lamb and a roast chicken
• Her butler got up at 4.30am to put her watercress on ice
• She spent £25,000 in just one hour in Bloomingdales...
• ... and at one point she owed up to £4million to 200 creditors. Just some of the eye-popping claims about Sarah Ferguson’s vulgar extravagance as revealed in a sensational new biography of Prince Andrew

All the articles from the book, which is the point of the whole thread, consists of 'rehashing the same old stuff from years ago'. The book is an exposé of Andrew and putting all his misdeeds together in one place
I'm looking forward to the next instalment 😂

What a picture of a pair of feet put on here to mock has to do with anything, I do not know. Some posters' obsessions knows no bounds but I imagine there is a Meghan dislike thread running somewhere if the urge to laugh at her very normal feet won't go away. There always is a thread

This reminds me of stories we’ve heard about a few other royals and royal-adjacents:

Meanwhile, [Sarah] continued to live beyond her means, employing a cook, driver, maid, butler, dresser, nanny, three secretaries, a personal assistant, lady-in-waiting, two gardeners, flower arranger and dog walker.

An accountant brought in to cut costs asked one member of staff what he did, and received the reply: 'I pick up the dog poo.' 'And you?' he asked, pointing to the person beside him. 'I help him.'

The duchess remained in denial about her debts. According to a friend: 'I have heard her throw an absolute screaming fit when one of her staff showed her a letter from the bank. She just doesn't want to know.'

The tantrums kept staff turnover high. 'Car journeys are the worst,' said one aide. 'She will sit on the phone screaming at employees and reduce everyone to wrecks. Then she will wonder why we are so unhappy.'

Bloody hell. It explains who has been (badly) advising the Sussexes, I suppose. I often wondered about that cosy friendship between the Yorks and the Sussexes and Harry’s lack of criticism of Andrew.

And there’s the suspected recent ploy of ‘have a rapprochement with the monarch and they’ll pay off your debts’. (See: elsewhere in article.)

I’m absolutely aghast at that article. Thank you for sharing @TheAutumnCrow and for highlighting @Weepixie

@TheAutumnCrow thank you so much.

Very little of what’s been said up to now has been a surprise but as another poster said, seeing it collated in one place has been hard hitting. Todays piece about SF is completely different though, I wasn’t even aware of half of it and my mouth is still open.

It’s quite something seeing it all in one place, as a summary reminder of all those dimly remembered stories of old … the whole House of York sounds crackers as well as dissolute. And yet Harry has not a word of criticism of them, just his father, his brother and Catherine (plus airing his faux worries about their children).

Is it an ‘unused spares stick together’ thing?

The avarice, greed and extravagance of Sarah is quite disgusting and knows no bounds.

I just do not understand why the Queen kept bailing her out to the tune of six figures each time. Repeatedly. QE2 enabled these two monsters

Sarah creaming money off of her charities is beyond appalling. She kept most of the donated money!

Meanwhile, she continued to live beyond her means, employing a cook, driver, maid, butler, dresser, nanny, three secretaries, a personal assistant, lady-in-waiting, two gardeners, flower arranger and dog walker.

And the fact she used small businesses like she did. 200 debtors and reading about them is just shocking. Artists, drivers, butchers, hairdressers, personal trainers. She never cared about those she considered beneath her.

I never want to see Andrew or Sarah's stupid faces again.

The entitlement is off the scale.

Her poor money management and debts have been known for years, but the disgusting excesses have not. Wonder if we will hear about her current situation, the town house in Mayfair, for example.

The mention of the feet come from Meghan putting out a picture of her feet, which follows on from other pictures she’s put out recently that were related to her products and have been commented on. We’re commenting on a theme Meghan currently has going on.

I have read conflicting reports on that. One that the daughters bought it for her. Another that she bought it.
Whichever it is, it's rented out at the moment.
Why doesn't she live there?
Instead of creaming off the taxpayer and living on a royal estate because whatever anyone says, somewhere along the line she will be subsidised. I doubt very much she is paying half the leccy bill of a 30 room estate!

I imagine she would be bankrupt if she wasn't living there

While that was obviously a fun read, am I being very boring if I say I am much more interested in the national security stuff, and the exploitation of women and girls? Andrew and Epstein, rather than Fergie and Tiger Woods.I mean, if I want to read about adult Enid Blyton characters, there are loads of 3 inch thick glossy covered novels available. May I recommend Judith Krantz or Shirley Conran?

Or what’s the other one - keep your friends close and your enemies closer?

I am confused. Why is this being commented on when it is a thread about a book on the Yorks?
I have followed this thread and not seen what it has to do with anything

Do you query threads going off course on every thread you come across, or is it just this one because Meghan has been mentioned?

And just as a reminder to you - Harry (and Meghan) became relevant to the thread when Harry was mentioned in the book, then again when Harry and Meghan instructed their lawyers to deny what was said in the book.

And additionally, tbh I genuinely do see some bizarre parallels and links between the Houses of York and Sussex, and am fascinated by the indulgences granted to both (imo) by two successive monarchs and apparently by the apparatus of various governments.
