Prince Harry’s speech

I think things have changed a lot in the way that people speak out now if they feel they have been wronged. Fair enough. It's a bit like a blame exercise and these days there are so many ways in which to do it, books, interviews, social media etc. The royals who put up and shut up actually in my opinion have it harder than the ones who sound off. The issue is, however, is M & H's version the truth?
Incidentally I am on holiday in Brittany this month and what is on the shelves but Scoobie's book about M & H "Libres". Either the French are very interested too or someone is doing a good marketing job.
It all boils down to getting your word out there and convincing people.
I agree the interview and its timing was appalling. And now there's more to come.

No, they didn’t did they Annie. I think that’s why people are so interested. They want to know the truth. That interview was an appalling thing to do. What was the motivation for it? That’s what I want to know.

Did the Queen Mother, The Queen, Lord Snowdon, Margaret,
Phillip, give Oprah/ Bashir type tv interviews ?

Absolutely agree with you Glorianny but that doesn’t lesson my interest in what happened with regard to Meghan. We are constantly told that we don’t know, we weren’t there. Well Tom Bower is extremely well respected for his books which are carefully and thoroughly researched. He writes nothing that can’t be verified. Therefore I want to read his book to find out. My choice.

Keeps the peasants occupied, doesn’t it ?

Meghan has brought so much bad feeling and backstabbing into the Royal Family, it is really tragic. All these books written not only by them but others, telling lurid tales from behind the scenes, who said what and who did what. It's horrible.

Oh come on if you know your history you would be aware the RF have been at it for years. Roughly
Duchess ofWindsor v Queen Mum
Queen v Margaret
Margaret v Tony (when they were divorced)
Philip v Duchess of York
The bad feeling, back stabbing, bad press-ing and lots of other stuff isn't new.

I’ve bought the new book about Meghan by Tom Bower. The reason, he is credited with being an extremely accurate reporter and will not include information in his books unless it can be verified twice over. I’m reading the book in order to find out the truth.

I may buy his book on Boris Johnson next.

we aren’t a police state

Sometimes feels like it on GN.

Another Diana book, Ken Wharfe

You really don’t have to explain yourself Calendargirl. After all, as someone stated yesterday we aren’t a police state

Don't worry Calendargirl, I'm sure you're aware that reading "Revenge" won't cause you any serious lasting damage!

I’ve ordered the ‘Revenge’ book from the library.

Looking forward to reading it.

Why?

Masochism?

You ask ‘Why’?

Because I’m interested in the Royal Family actually, not just M&H, but they are the gift that keeps on giving, providing plenty of reading material.

Am reading Anne Glenconner’s book at the moment, all about her life as a Lady In Waiting.

Have also read books about Diana, the Windsors, the Queen, et al, not forgetting the one that was written about Meghan when she was about to marry Harry, think it was called ‘Meghan, A Hollywood Princess’ or similar.

A very apt title as it subsequently turned out.

Why ?

They may spoken in confidence

Why ?

Joseanne with Tom Bower you won’t get ‘inside sources’ , he
names sources and certainly has researched

I hope he hasn't named his sources.

Scobie is now attacking William, William has asked that the
Diana interview with Bashir will not be shown again, this following the court case and the BBC being fined.

Scobie claims it’s a move to silence Diana !

That is absolutely ridiculous because Diana, I am sure, would be very upset at being hoodwinked into saying things she may not have said had she known.

Poor woman, leave her to RIP.

Diana’s dead! How much more silent can you be?

Yes Anniebach, the Scobie books are written as the mouthpiece of one person, (and we all know who that is). The Tom Bower book as I understand it is corrobation from many sources who all seem to agree fundamentally.

Woo-hoo! Glad I'm in good company, that's at least four or maybe five of us reading 'Revenge'.

When people are so enraged/disappointed/angry about Meghan and Harry, and think they push themselves forward too much are are never off the telly....why do they read books about them?

I am reading ‘Revenge’, very balanced book
