Yes, a very insistent friend.

For some odd reason I heard my h listening to some stuff online today. It was referring to the fact that Harry has alerts set on his phone ( don't ask me how) and he is alerted to whatever article is said about them. I'm sure it's piffle. It sounds fishy but imagine if you were living your life like that.

I disappear to finish making dinner, eat it, clear up, put the hedgehog food out, weewee the Labrador - and I’ve missed the start of the new thread by 5 bloody pages! No wave for me!
Anyway, saw this when I popped over to twitter and through it was rather nice.
I quite like to think that all of the royals I really like sat round a table at Balmoral with a few bottles, kids in bed, and prepared that statement.
I certainly think it had a few royal fingers in it!
Esp this one ⬇️

Six years ago it was claimed in some quarters that Kate was responsible for the words 'recollections vary', she seems good with words if she was resposible.

From the ipaper this evening (I suspect most media outlets will have received this comment):

The Sussexes’ office did not respond immediately but a friend of the couple insisted that Harry, as the King’s son and brother of the future monarch, could never be an entirely private citizen.

“Some people will say, ‘But they’re private citizens.’ Nonsense. Utter nonsense. They are two of the most high-profile people in the world,” the friend insisted. “The idea that Harry, who is the King’s son and brother to the future King, could ever live an entirely private life is for the birds.”

Is the 'friend' that Scooby Doo man?

An interesting take from a writer on Substack (I haven't read this person before, so can't speak for any of their other articles).
Substack article

The Times article they reference, actually from Saturday (05/08), and the specific sentence
https://archive.is/D8kgk
It is understood that Meghan, 45, and Harry, 41, and their team will consider creating a new “framework that is fair” for media access to their engagements and coverage of their public work.

TLDR - H&M, by talking about their public work, were creating confusion, as they are private individuals and no longer have a role in public office; hence this clarification.

My personal opinion is that this will have been one thing among many, and that the letter was already, if not completed, on its final draft.
