What will they do next, they so lack dignity, they are
cheap and vulgar ,

Chewbacca Sun 03-May-20 21:07:23

I can see a pattern forming here..... Tony Blair sought to explain himself and his warmongering decisions via his autobiography "A Journey", and it didn't do anything to redeem him. David Cameron tried to justify his cowardice by writing his autobiography "For The Record" and it brought him ridicule and derision. And now the Sussex's are doing theirs.... hmm wonder what they'll call it? Any guesses?

Don’t you have to have lived a life before you can have a biography?
When it is a joint one, does2/3 years count?
Not in my book.

I wouldn’t want it if it were being given away.

Not even if it’s free !

Callistemon Sun 03-May-20 20:25:29

Is it free on Kindle?

I am on lockdown for weeks; I'll read anything that's free.

maddyone and merlotgran … say it all for me

Chewbacca ...Oh no! I used to like the Beano grin

When did they start to think this one up I wonder?

Sparklefizz Sun 03-May-20 20:04:28

And "The Blurb" above has already made me cross!

Sparklefizz Sun 03-May-20 20:03:02

Spot on, Maddyone

Cherrytree59 Sun 03-May-20 19:53:34

The blurb ?

Chewbacca Sun 03-May-20 19:46:57

Only if they've sold out of the Beano first.

I like others will wait until it appears in the Charity Shop,shortly after Publication I imagine.

If Meghan Markle has anything to do with it and she has,it will be lies.

Yes soon be in the charity shops when they reopen Alishka think the same thing happened to David Cameron's book.

merlotgran Sun 03-May-20 19:38:02

'Finding Freedom'

Unfortunate title for a book about two self centred pampered freeloaders.

Anyone would think they'd had to row to America in a rubber dinghy. hmm

Alishka Sun 03-May-20 19:36:39

Would never buy it but I expect it'll be in my local 2nd hand shop soon where all books are priced at 20p, that'll dogrin

maddyone Sun 03-May-20 19:26:33

I wouldn’t pay good money for it either Sparklefizz. It will be a complete whitewash of what has happened and written sympathetically towards Harry and Meghan. If I were to read such a book, and these kind of books aren’t really to my taste, I would prefer to read a book which told the truth, warts and all. Not some type of book setting out that H+M were somehow victims. They are not victims, they are the architects of their own situation.

Amazon on pre order August

Sparklefizz Sun 03-May-20 19:12:12

I admit I've thought about it, but think it would make me very angry. I certainly wouldn't pay good money for it, and will order it from the library once that becomes an option.

Serendipity22 Sun 03-May-20 18:48:53

How many others would be interested in reading Harry & Meghan's biography as I would ?
