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

Bridgeit Mon 04-May-20 22:18:20

Yes that would be brilliant, If people stopped buying & showed no interest, but I doubt that will ever happen .

The papers are more than happy for the opportunity to have storylines guaranteed to sell their papers,

Of course they are and H&M are an easy meal ticket.

They bring it on themselves.

Anniebach Mon 04-May-20 22:27:10

People buy newspapers, fact, if this couple remained silent and avoided cameras papers would still sell ,

The time on the front pages will be short lived for this publication. Then it will take up its rightful place in charity shops around the country.

Bridgeit Mon 04-May-20 22:33:51

Newspapers know what sells & which topics to put as front page headlines.

Bridgeit Mon 04-May-20 22:36:02

Of course papers would still sell Annie, but certain topics & headlines are guaranteed maxim sales.

Anniebach Mon 04-May-20 22:39:07

There are always stories to grab the headlines, papers survived
the Diana years

Bridgeit Mon 04-May-20 22:40:55

But folks never seem to tire of this particular topic, do they.

Bridgeit Mon 04-May-20 22:43:25

Papers more than survived, they must have made mega bucks from the ‘stories’ about Diana.

These two are certainly hoping to make mega bucks from this 'book' Their motives are so obvious as to be ridiculous, but then they are!! Papers of course will love it and will probably make a killing to! An all round win unless you're the RF and the British racist public! Lets hope it's a complete flop and goes the same way as certain other 'biographies '!

They do have support in this country, there are posters on this
forum who defend them.

Republicans will see it as a step closer to get rid of the monarchy.

eazybee Tue 05-May-20 09:24:29

I agree with you Annie.
This worthless pair are making people question the validity of the monarchy, because they represent all the bad aspects and none of the good.

Curious that a couple that demand their privacy seem to do so much self publicity.

annsixty Tue 05-May-20 09:48:45

To be so openly and blatantly “money grubbing “ is not a good or enviable trait.

Tanjamaltija Tue 05-May-20 09:53:44

I am not British, so please take this with a pinch of salt. Some of us here do not want to pay the full price for the book, but we will read it when it's being sold at the charity shop. This is much like vegetarians and their soya steaks... they don't want to eat meat, and yet... they sort of want to. Having said that, I don't appreciate official biographies, because they are what the person they are about, wants us to believe.

maryhoffman37 Tue 05-May-20 09:57:21

No.Not interested in them or the rest of the Royals.

katy1950 Tue 05-May-20 10:02:47

Not in a million years

rowyn Tue 05-May-20 10:03:13

All the 'juicy' lies_oops sorry - BITS will be in the newspapers anyway. No way would I pay money for it.
PS How does one do that thing where you put a line through a word?

Happygirl79 Tue 05-May-20 10:04:54

I will read it out of curiosity if its free then I will be furious with myself afterwards for wasting my time

Jabberwok Tue 05-May-20 10:07:16

Totally agree with you Tjl particularly your last sentence.
Oh yes, republicans are certainly seeing this charade as a lever to get rid of the RF. Rubbing their hands with glee no doubt.
If H & M had been an asset to the RF, they would be up there with the others and be subjected to the same vitriol, but as they might be a tool to bring them down then of course they are much approved of even feted!!!!

merlotgran Tue 05-May-20 10:08:39

rowyn, Scroll down a bit and there are examples of how to do it.

Jabberwok Tue 05-May-20 10:08:39

Happygirl79. ???

Anniebach Tue 05-May-20 10:09:09

I certainly will not buy the book but do want to read how they
are going to save the world, how they are the most loved up
couple ever, yuck

polnan Tue 05-May-20 10:09:24

to reply to the question at the beginning

NO!

Grandmabeach Tue 05-May-20 10:11:25

I rarely post anything vindictive but the sooner that selfish couple realise no one is interested the better.
