Will Harry and Meghan or their lawyers get an advance copy?

[Mylovelygreendress]

As I know next to nothing about publishing , does anyone know if H and M and/ or their lawyers will have received an advance copy?

The review seems a bit “sweet”.

It's not even like it's a particularly awful claim. I'm sure I'm not the only person who feels this is probably Harry's most justified misdemeanour...

I know Lownie a little through some uni research I was doing (I'm a history student) and he seems a trustworthy person to me. More importantly, he did check the Mountbatten book very thoroughly and importantly brought the abuse allegations to more light than has been done before. He also brought the Mountbatten diaries to light, which were publicly available but in practice heavily censored.

I agree the Melania thing may have been sloppiness, but it's also possible he did have a good source but withdrew as he couldn't afford to get sued again.

May I ask why you're not a fan?

You can ask , but it’s been covered previously and I can’t be bothered to go over it again.
