TheDuchessofTwatt · Yesterday 20:35

Just catching up, thanks for the new thread @jeffgoldblum
I’m not fussy, happy to have a title and be a Duchess even if it is a place called Twatt in the Orkneys!

Breaking news - Piers Morgan is suing!
He doesn’t like some of the things said about him in the Earl’s book.
Which begs the question - how did he get an advance copy? Do publishers circulate to some favoured (or even unfavoured) journalists? Or do we think he was behind the heist and in possession of stolen goods???

Anyway, it’s popcorn and Swan wrangled napkins all round. 🦢🍿

Edited

Publishers usually send review copies out early so reviews come out at the time of publication.

That lorry has a squad of highly trained attack swans ready to deploy in case of emergency.
If the principal needs to be evacuated they flock together to fly him out.

Harry’s arrival including a shot of the ‘crowds’

Crowds appear to be outnumbered by the goons.

Telegraph also reporting on the documentary:

‘The Telegraph understands the Duke wants to mark the 30th anniversary of her death next year by honouring her legacy “in the most meaningful way”.
He has already approached several friends and relatives of his late mother, including Earl Spencer, to ask whether they would take part in a documentary.’

Meaningful as in will provide H with a meaningful income?

Just imagining the screams of horror from some of them at the very idea. "Oh, just let me run that past William and see what he thinks and I'll get back to you, 'kay?'

Maybe the handbag is meant to be used as a weapon. Or maybe she carries marmalade sandwiches in it in homage to the late Queen and it needs its own personal security 🤔

A full jar of jam would increase the impact power of the bag

It won't though. Their original deal with NF has expired, and they're not going to pay big money for a documentary. Even if it's a big hit, which is open to doubt, it's a one off. But I guess they don't have many other income streams left.

William Dalrymple, who is a pretty good historian and travel writer, has just said ‘Hear, hear’ on TwiX, in response to Rory Stewart’s comment that Charles W would not say the stuff that Charles Spencer is attributing to him.

So effectively, Willie Dalrymple and Rory Stewart are saying that Spencer is wrong and is misrepresenting the king’s character.

Now all this does not augur well for Harry and the credibility of his planned ‘documentary’.

No he isn’t. Apparently he is suing because Spencer’s book claims the Mail made money out of photos of Diana from 1993when Morgan was in charge. Morgan didn’t join the Mail until 1995. Oops! Sorry, really don’t want to be hypocritical and derail. I suppose it might link to the Sussexes PR if they are backing the book though (clutching at straws to cover one’s arse 😬)

Oh really, thanks !I just saw something very insignificant about Piers being grumpy when Charles told him he couldn’t go to the funeral, so thought Piers was having a laugh.

I need to check out Piers then,

H spent time in the sanctified golden uterus.

W just came out of Diana’s ear or something. Agatha tries not to think about it. The sanctified golden uterus only had one occupant ever. FACT!!!!

What a tool - she's gone to the pub with a bodyguard holding her bag for her 😂Who does she think she is, the queen of England?! lolololol

If he is ex-military, which tbh most CP are, he should get the almighty piss ripped out of him!

It’s absolutely fucking ridiculous from a professional security optics point of view. He’s carrying a large, conspicuous personal bag while walking behind her, rather than keeping his hands free and maintaining a security-focused posture.

Bunch of muppets.

Multibarpack · Yesterday 21:16

So if a book is facing legal action before it is released, wouldn’t it be wise to stop the release?

What I’m struggling to understand, is why they are leaking about this docu now? The CS book has gone down like a cup of cold sick.

The reviews are coming out now too, all bad.

Surely this is the worst time to leak? It just reeks of using Diana as a cash cow

Prince Harry 'is in talks to make a documentary about Princess Diana'

Prince Harry is considering making a documentary about his mother Diana to mark the 30th anniversary of her death next year.

Are we sure, properly sure, that the photos of M and EDG were A today and B in the Cotswolds? I’m another that had assumed she had run back to California. Even the People piece press release sounded to me like the start of a drip feed. Operation you’re dumped/no you’re dumped is surely afoot.

That is what I want to know.

Photos were "obtained" by Page Six? Meghan has feed a couple of things to Page Six is the last month.

If this was taken by a Brit wouldn't they leak to a UK rag not a American one?

Hmmm

Serenster · Yesterday 21:25

It’s unlikely a British paper would publish footage like this taken without consent at a private event. American publishers have no such scruples.
