How on earth do you know that? Answer, you don’t! Costs of individual visits are not released, I’ve never seen them anyway. Costs of their weddings are released.
Is it rude to not finish a book club choice that was selected by someone else?
How many others would be interested in reading Harry & Meghan's biography as I would ?

And charities say a royal patronage is extremely positive for them as it hugely increases donations.

You’re right of course, the letter would never have been exposed if the five ‘friends’ hadn’t leaked parts of the letter first. And I’d like one of the supporters of H+M to explain why she chose to send copies of the letter to five friends!!! Does that not suggest a very strange person? Who on earth sends a copy of their personal letters to their parents to several friends? I’m sorry, but it’s not normal behaviour, and because it’s not normal, it suggests that the sender has a personality disorder. It’s speculation I realise, but I’m allowed to speculate, and I don’t think I’m far from the truth, when you consider the short timeline of events over the last three years or so.
Well it’s a relief to read that there are some ‘Good Parts’ regarding the existence of M&H , we could be forgiven for thinking they were monsters reading some of the comments & commentary about them on SM , in Newspapers & Magazines. But surprise, surprise they are just like the rest of us , a mixture of traits & circumstances.
I am sick of Harry's nauseating whinging. Yes, he lost his mother, but he has had a cossetted life compared to some people with bereavements. I know of somebody who had to take out a bank loan to bury her mother! I wish he would stop inviting people to the pity party! There's no way I would buy this book. I hope the pair of them just disappear.

Why did Meghan send a copy of her letter to her father, to five friends?
If the charities gain so little Grany why were they so devastated when Diana dropped so many of hers?
I have no wish to read or buy a book about PH either, but there are many many folks that will wish to, which oils the wheels of publishers , booksellers . advertisers etc etc
I was thinking maybe she’s a fan of chain letters! Remember the days when folk used to take the time to write and post them rather than risk the superstitious bad luck that would befall them.
Maddyone , I have no idea, but she is entitled to do as she pleases , just like the rest of us. Like it or not she is who she is.that is all any of us can be.
I would be interested to hear their point of view, but certainly wouldn't but the book. I will probably read extracts in the media.
Megan is physically a beautiful woman and Harry is besotted with her.I find it so annoying they use the phrases "in love" when this is very different to loving someone through thick and thin. Being in love is the easy part!
I suspect Megan is narcissistic and it may be a while before Harry realises what he has done.

Thank you for your reply. As a supporter of Meghan I thought perhaps you would have some understanding of her extremely unusual behaviour. For myself, I think it’s beyond weird. I can only conclude that Meghan wanted her friends to leak parts of her letter to the press that she says she wants ‘privacy’ from.
But I am neither for against Meghan, as for her unusual behaviour , well I have come across many couples who have friends who are ‘worried’ about their choice of partner.
As the saying goes A Heart cannot be stolen, a heart will go where it wants to go.
secondly which pain is the worst, denying your love for another & not taken a chance or going for it knowing that it has half a chance( or more ) of being ok?
For OR against

There have been many clues in Meghan’s behaviour that would appear to point to narcissism. One of the major clues is that a narcissistic person will remove their partner from their family, friends and all their support structures, thus making their partner completely dependent on themself. Harry has been removed from his family, his friends, his armed forces connections, his hobbies, in particular shooting, his country, his role, and his environment. I think he has been brainwashed by Meghan and that is what narcissistic people do to their partners.
My opinion only, but shared by ineedamum.
If that is the case , eventually it will all go T- -ts up, better to have loved and lost et etc, There are NO Guarantees for any of us.
Better to pair for what you think is love , than deny it & be hurt anyway, don’t we all take a gamble in the game of ‘ love’ certain that all will be okay ?
as someone who had to make the decision many years ago between family and a marriage, I chose family , never regretted it, I firmly believe one cannot find happiness at the
cost of unhappiness in others.
Love isn’t a game

Yes, you have a good point. However I don’t think Meghan has made Harry happy, my opinion of course, but a comparison of photos of the laughing, happy Harry pre Meghan, and the miserable looking, and unhappy looking Harry post Meghan appear to show a very different Harry.
The pained expression on Harry’s face throughout the Commonwealth Service show Harry to be miserable, cross, unfriendly whilst Meghan was sporting an ear to ear smile throughout the event. A lipreader reported that Meghan said ‘big smile’ to Harry in the church, what happy young man needs an instruction from his wife on how to appear in public, particularly a young man who has been brought up in the public eye, who has shown every sign of being happy in the public eye, there are many, many photos showing him happily laughing, in particular with William and Catherine, but since marrying Meghan is shown on photographs scowling, frowning, and miserable.
As long as Harry thinks he is happy then that’s ok, if or when he isn’t then he has the choice to do something about it.
Just like the rest of us.
Do you think he would look happy if he had been denied marrying Meghan ?
His choice would be staying in America with his child or
coming back to his family and country and seeing his child as
the law decrees
?? Sorry Annie , not sure what you mean , but either way, he chose to marry the woman he loves, that’s what we all do, sadly in terms of love it doesn’t always have a fairytale ending, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. No different for them than it is for the rest of us.

Is royalty propping up charities, or are charities shoring up royalty?

I'm not sure that copies of the letter were given to the friends, just the knowledge that a letter had been sent to her father. For some reason, after a period of time, friend(s) contacted People magazine to say tell them that Meghan had written this conciliatory letter to her father and despite what he might say about her, she is in fact a lovely person,devoted daughter etc! T.Markle read this article and in order to defend himself, gave parts of the letter to the DM in order to prove the contrary and himself as partly the injured party in this debacle!! This seems very garbled so I'm not sure that I've got it quite right, perhaps others have other info?!
