I'll say this only once & then move on from the CS book.

I have thought of reading CS's book. I have to say the excerpt I read in the Dm has put me off. However , we know that for commercial reasons the DM will serialise the more sensational parts. The reason I thought I might is , not because I am particularly interested in Diana per se , I think so much has been written I'm almost of the opinion there is nothing further to be said. But at the time she was (QEII aside ) one of the most famous women on the planet. CS - IF he has chosen to write a proper memoir might have some insights others do not & I like reading diaries , memoirs , collections of letters etc. I'd be interested to see how well written it is ( the DM excerpt doesn't encourage me 😂 ) However there are those who have said he is a credible (not brilliant but creditable ) author. I suspect there may be some interesting but less crowdpleasing bits in the book. If I were to buy it , and if the thread could be kept to the book & discussions about the book and not mudslinging about Diana , Charles , Camilla etc (some hope 😊) would anyone be interested if I started a thread ?

I think I'm up for taking one for the team , but the reserve the right to abandon ship if it turns into petty squabbles. I also reserve the right to abandon this enterprise if I can't get it for half price 😂

Why does the soldier salute Harry at the end of the video?

DaisyDooley · Yesterday 22:13

‘Catherine’ is trending on X.
People are furious at the Irish Guards -who only Fucking saluted him!!
Clearly they didn’t get the letter. 🤦‍♀️
Im going to contact BP tomorrow. I’m sick of this shit.
It’s gone too far now when regiments are brazenly disloyal to The King.

@BasiliskStare Thank you for your service. Waterstones are already selling it at half price - it made me giggle when I saw that they've already put it in the bargain bin before it's been released 😂

I'll go back to lurking now

I would appreciate your offer, though I doubt I'd be able to join the thread apart from lurking as I won't be buying the book and won't get a chance to read. Maybe when it starts turning up in the charity shops.

I think there is a plan to destabilise the monarchy. I will be honest. I thought way back that harry would do this. He now has the backing of billionaires. Who have their own agenda. I’m sick of the billionaires controlling the world. Obviously charles and William are also billionaires. This is a fight between billionaires. Some using harry. Meghan is a total sociopath who will use anyone. God help their kids. Let’s see how this ends up.

Goodness knows.
The servicemen look extremely unimpressed and straight-faced while H is grinning like a fool (and seemingly wondering where his balls are again).

Harry is acting like a muppet trying to do bantz with the service men to prove he's got the natural touch. He should have brought his juggling balls.

@SqueakyDinosaur Much appreciated! Thank you … part 2 same time tomorrow? 😉x

The piece includes some eye widening and quite shocking claims. I’ll not repeat any in case anyone is intending to read the book!

Can we have part 2 on another thread please :)

A thread about the book?

jeffgoldblum · Yesterday 23:15

Well one positive thing about Spencer’s book at least…totally knocked Harry’s royal cos play off the media for awhile!

jeffgoldblum · Yesterday 23:22

@HoldMyWine. And. @PlotTwistPending , I understand fully why you and others may prefer a separate thread for the book and although I would not like the thread to fully become only about the book ….I have seen the comments and posters on the current thread about it ! , it’s not conducive to discussion and I think we are probably more comfortable here 😉
