Anyone reading THAT book?

I would have read the excerpt in the weekend paper. But I was painting my garden fence and when I sat down for a rest with the paper I decided to watch the paint dry instead

If they sell the book for £1 I might purchase it, we are running low on paper in the outside netty.

Thanks for the link merlot.
I guessed it was what Meghan wanted, seems my expectations were correct. It’s a lot bigger than Frogmore, probably what they both think they deserve.
It appears Prince Charles paid for it, or much of it. He makes about 20 million a year from the Duchy of Cornwall. I do hope the residents of his estate are happy with the way the money they earn for him has been spent, especially as they sit down at the end of a long day of work in their rented cottages.
The royals maintain their position in the UK by consent, but this grandiose behaviour towards a lazy and self entitled couple will probably not go down well with many. I don’t like it, I believe H+M should have done as they said they would, worked for a living and become financially independent.

I can't believe that P.C has helped to buy this 8 million $? £ ? mansion for these two, when we tax payers are still waiting for our money back from Frogmore?! Either P.C is a complete fool or these two are threatening more horror stories, to the point of bringing the House of Windsor crashing down unless more cash is propelled in their direction?! Perhaps now they're settled in their luxury home, we will hear less of their preaching to us peasants about the error of our peasant lives both past and present. As for the book, We haven't run out of loo paper yet!!!!! Harry a war hero? Don't make me laugh!!! Andrew actually was all those years ago!

I vote for “Finding Nemo” a much better option

Jabber I think their book is a warning shot to the royal family,

jabberwok and anniebach ... I agree!
PC is damned if he supports them and d if he doesnt.
I can just see the headlines now.......

The new house in Santa Barbara is ridiculously opulent for two people who want to tell the world how we can all do better from an ecological point of view and it seems Prince Charles has staked them once again.

I think we are entering a climate where the ordinary person has had enough of the preaching of the privileged few to the struggling masses, I don't just mean them, and that will become more evident once the true scale of this latest global disaster plays out around the world. Just how relevant are any high profile people who make preachy appearances their raison d'etre. These two appear to recycle the same old stuff all the time whilst simultaneously recycling all their pent up grievances. The snippets I've read in The ST portray them as petulant and disloyal with no regard for the shed loads of public money that has been thrown at them. The general consensus amongst reviewers seems to be that it's apparent their collusion with the authors is evident, which begs the question, if it's privacy they crave, why would they wash their dirty linen in such a public way.

Terri they have no dirty linen, they are perfect and victims !

So Harry is said to have a difficult relationship with his father and has criticised him for putting his position before his children so Daddy panders to him and buys the couple a house.

As for the title of the book it is an insult to people such as Nelson Mandela, Nazanin Zaghari-Radcliffe And Terry Waite who really do know what it is like to be deprived of their freedom for years. I have read some of the extracts and Although most of them are laughable I felt for Meghan’s first husband who has never said a word against her yet she (sorry the book) claims they divorced because he resented her new found fame.

Fame? I never heard of her before she went out with Harry! I haven’t read the book, but the snippets I’ve seen/heard about don’t do this pair any justice. They appear petulant, entitled, and arrogant.

I don’t agree that Prince Charles will be damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. He apparently already funds these two to the tune of two million plus a year, and now he apparently has bought them a luxury, expensive house in which to indulge their fantasies they they actually matter and deserve such opulence. I guess while ever Prince Charles lives they will be funded by the Duchy of Cornwall, but when Prince William is on the throne, who knows?

They should have been given their allowance of two million, and cut loose to fund the rest of their lifestyle independently, as they stated they wanted to do.

When I first read that PC had financed this mansion , I felt angry that he was complete fool, but thinking about it,(more rationally!!) I agree with Nnanny that the gruesome pair have got P. C exactly where they want him! As she has said, picture the headlines, either way!!!!
As for comparing themselves to the mentioned political prisoners! It is insulting, lets just leave it at that! The suffering of, and continued suffering of N. Z-R is shocking, beyond belief! Surly even these two cretins understand that!!!
So P.H had a difficult relationship with his father!! Oh dear, poor didums! So did Churchill and many other sons of famous men, but they didn't trash them, the rest of their family or their fellow countrymen who actually rated them! This person is a wimp of the first order!

Wouldn’t waste my time or money in reading or buying this book. Wonder if M&H will receive any money from the proceeds?

When Charles becomes King he will hand over the Duchy of Cornwall to William.

Better make hay while the sun shines, Harry.

I’m going to upset any Diana fans here but it’s what I honestly think. If as claimed there is a difficult relationship between Charles and Harry, Diana was partly responsible for it. We know now that she was very clever at manipulation and creating a saintly and blameless persona, much like Meghan in fact.

Crikey, that's some house!

That is the point merlotgran. One would assume that William will not continue to prop up Harry when Charles becomes King. The time will come when George, Charlotte and Louis need a house etc. so he will need to look after them.

I would not have it even if it was given away.

Sorry to repeat myself but - Harry has married his mother.

Meg gave up her life for that family

Diana - all I have done for that f*****g family

Meg will only associate with certain newspapers

Diana tipped off certain newspapers

William had the sense to look at his own dysfunctional family and choose a wife who would give him the more conventional type of family life he wanted.
Harry on the other hand was stupid and petulant, and probably didn't think beyond bagging himself a pretty actress with charisma.
I can see why William would have encouraged his brother to take things more slowly, because William would have seen the bigger picture.
Their future lives will be very different on a personal level, and Harry could at a later date well find himself in a dysfunctional marriage like his own parents.

Again agree with what's being said here. Harry has indeed married his mother, and since MM has become a charmless petulant victim encouraged by his new'mother' ! I do so wonder how those orphaned children in Africa feel? Having promised them so much it's all now so much hot air! Did he mean it at the time? He seemed to,but now? who knows! One thing he has taught those kids was, never to trust a Caucasian!! Prince Harry has convinced them of that! What a sh#t!

I completely agree with you Anniebach. I don’t think the similarities are coincidental, Meghan has modelled herself on Diana much like Heather Mills modelled herself on Linda McCartney.

I have to disagree - I don't think Meghan is anything like Diana.

I read that the new house has 16 bathrooms, but only 9 bedrooms I think.

Sounds a heck of a lot of bathrooms! Meghan will be busy with the Marigolds, cleaning all those loos!

The last gaff they were in had more bathrooms than bedrooms as well. What on earth do they do in them all?

Apparently Harry wanted something more homely this time so a library, office, spa with a separate dry and wet sauna, a gym with a stripper pole , game room, arcade, theatre, wine cellar, swimming pool, tennis court and five-car garage should fit the bill nicely.

So glad they were able to find something a bit more in line with their modest tastes this time.

Apparently they didn’t want staff when they briefly lived at Frogmore, but there’s no way they can run that place without staff. They’ll need a housekeeper, cleaners/maids, and gardeners at the minimum. Also they need want security, and either a nanny or Doria, or both, for the baby. Plus maintenance staff for house and cars. That isn’t cheap. On their two plus million a year from Prince Charles? Somehow I think Charles is going to be shelling out a whole lot more than two million a year. It’s going to blow quite a hole in his twenty million a year from The Duchy of Cornwall.
