Had a friend who was a hanglider pilot. It's a dangerous sport and wind conditions play a huge part in flight safety. They'd stand about 'feeling' the wind, watching it in the trees, watching the birds in flight, etc to try to judge if it was safe to launch. They referred to the1st pilot off the hill in 'questionable' conditions as the 'wind dummy'. Then they'd stand and watch to see how he/she was doing to decide if it was safe for them to launch.

Harry is Meghan's 'wind dummy'. She's not going to 'launch' herself until Harry is safe on the ground, ie back in the bosom of the RF and/or the British populace. If he's successful, she'll jump off the hill. If he fails, she'll fold up her glider and slink off back to Montecito muttering "What a dummy, I'd never have launched in those conditions".

Agree. He's laying the groundwork so to speak. He hasn't announced his October Public engagements 🙄 yet. I'm surprised she didn't appear with him in NYC. They both spectacularly lack any self awareness. I think they believe they are globally adored

I just noticed. That sky dive was in Toronto!! I assumed it was UK. What was the point of this ridiculous stunt?

Re Ari Emanuel, I believe she is not in the book but he was asked about what he thinks her plans are - and he said something along the lines of being happy it’s not his problem to worry about any more…

I have a feeling that if she's in his book at all, it'll be a throwaway paragraph or two. She was barely a blip on his radar.

When it comes to 'tales to tell', Ari has much better stories about much more famous persons than MM to dish the dirt on. It will be interesting to see who he dishes that dirt on and who he chooses to keep schtum about.

I can picture Megz feverishly paging through the book and actually being furious at being omitted or being treated as an afterthought and screaming "Doesn't he know who I am!!!!! How DARE he not devote a chapter to my firing!!!!".

Why on earth would William want to reconcile with Harry. Harry has caused so much hurt and upset to William himself, Catherine, Charles and other family members.

People can't go round, even in private lives, saying awful things which then turn out to be lies, causing upset, go away for a bit and then try to come back as if nothing has happened, let alone in such a public institution as the Royal family. Harry's behaviour was unforgivable, but he appears to be so dense and/or selfish he can't see it.

Both he and Meghan are totally lacking in self-awareness, it's almost unbelievable.

The kids will absolutely be front and centre in this. HAM probably thought they would never have to do this but they are both mercenary. Their kids interests come second to theirs unfortunately

Why would a Diana documentary focus heavily on grandchildren she’d never met? These kids are completely irrelevant.

Talking to pictures of Diana
Little hands on the gravestone
Having dreams about her
Being inspired by her
"They're the grandchildren she never met and she would have been so proud"

Earl Spencer’s book seems to focus heavily on his eulogy at Diana’s funeral and his thoughts and feelings, even though it was purportedly about Diana. So it isn’t such a stretch to think that a documentary about Diana could be based around how the children feel about her 🤷‍♀️

The book - and his interviews - seem to be entirely about his eulogy.
You can buy copies, apparently.

Which won't be in my lifetime.

I don't see how it could be a hit. It will focus on how amazing Diana was and how she would have adored Meg 🙄🙄 to top it off, narrated by Meg ffs

I am cynical about this film, mainly because I doubt that enough people will agree to participate to make it viable. I also wonder whether William is taking legal advice to see if there is a way of blocking it or at least restrict H's access to official footage from national broadcasters. Probably nothing to be done but in W's place I would at least ask the questions.

Veering in a different direction, if M were to buy Diana's 'revenge dress', she could début it in the film and win a global award for tastelessness. The auction is on 9 December.

Typo

Even the dead are not safe from H&M.
They really are vampires sucking the blood from anyone they can to make their next million.

The Diana documentary is the end of the road and that will be their last opportunity for exploitation.

Too thick to see that somethings such as your integrity and your reputation are worth more than all the money in the world and will not be recoverable.

My prediction is that this further family betrayal will be the final nail in H's coffin.

I think M could still leggit back to California with the children and fairly successfully extricate herself from the quagmire with the stupider sections of the public but if she stays with H she is buggered forever.

Then back in the US she is poised for Oprah mark 2 and her own explosive memoir where once again she portrays herself as valour's minion but this time H will be a villain too as well
as the RF.

H will then end up in rehab and once emerged be pensioned off by the RF with a good behaviour contract and holiday visits from the children under supervision.

He made a promise to a 100 year old veteran who’d done a skydive that he’d do one as well. In fact I believe the veteran was also going to jump that day but conditions weren’t favourable for a man of his age.

It will be popular, because of gossip and hopefully finding something new out and the scandal etc.

Whether it's any good remains to be seen.

I see this too. H is just too stupid/ short sighted to see what we all can. He'll be lucky if he gets a RF bolthole when Meg spits him out though

They will spin something. They have shown that there are no depths they won't plummet to. They tried to reconnect with RF but they were rejected due to racism. The poor little hamlets, etc.
