“Recollections may vary”. Harry and Meghan (again - I know!)
(508 Posts)This may be a pot shot too far, now they seem to be including the Queen in their self- righteous whingeing.
(Not that I am biased)
Apparently Duke and Duchess of Sussex believe the Queen failed to take “full ownership” of the race allegations made in their interview with Oprah Winfrey, according to the authors of the unauthorised biography Finding Freedom.
A “friend of the couple” (unnamed, of course) has apparently told Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand that the Queen’s lack of action had prevented the Duke and Duchess from moving on from the claims.
The source also suggested that the Queen’s assertion that “recollections may vary” had not gone down well.
(It did however rank IMHO as one of HM’s all-time greatest bons mots )
The Queen has until now been one of the only senior members of the Royal family to escape the Sussexes’ criticism, but this new epilogue to Finding Freedom, published in People magazine in the US, suggests that the Duke and Duchess feel frustrated that the Duke’s grandmother did not follow through with her promise to address their concerns.
It says: “The Queen’s ‘recollections may vary’ comment ‘did not go unnoticed’ by the couple, who a close source said were ‘not surprised’ that full ownership was not taken
Just one question, if this book is “unauthorised”, does it or does it not reflect their views? Or is it an example of letting somebody else put words in their mouths so that they can deny them afterwards if necessary? All these “unnamed friends,” and “close sources” - aye, right.
"And now they've got the world at their feet as their own selves."
Have they though? Who exactly are they without the Queen's status and patronage behind them? And for how long?
That's great Alegrias with any luck they'll stay there.
I f you're telling somebody how to spell something it's usually a good idea to spell the word properly.
And for examples of how I can tolerate idiosyncratic spellings, do a little survey of how often Alegrias gets.... rearranged.
There we go , anyone could put a typo like I just did, but for most of us unless we’re posting on Pedants corner it’s not the end of the world ??
Not Meaghan either.
A tad patronising Alegrias1 , It’s Meaghan with an H not Megan with an ???And it’s not a matter of who people invite to their wedding, but the fact that the woman manages to fall out with practically everyone!
A lot of people worldwide have nothing but contempt bordering on serious dislike of these two.
And for some people in America, where they have decided to live, he's more popular than Jane Goodall and the Pope 
Look, lets face it, these two are dead bores, Would you want to at any social occasion they were present at? You would bebored you to death before the soup course had been cleared.
They say they want a quiet life out of the way of the media. Thats fine, so sell the house in California, buy a property in the backwoods, wind down the press office and web site, let go of the celebrity friends. Although they would ditch them first anyway, if the couple actually practiced what they preached.
Their phrase about the royal family not owning the charge of racism or god wot is a classic example of double speak. perhaps they should 'own' all the things they have said about living an ordinary life away from the media.
Well said Jaberwok.
But have they? A lot of people worldwide have nothing but contempt bordering on serious dislike of these two. Let's face it constant whining about how hard done by and abused they are does get a bit tedious particularly from a position of enormous wealth and privilege. Why don't they enjoy what they have which is more than most of us could begin to hope for, and go about their charity work etc in private like a lot of super wealthy people do and stop drawing constant attention to themselves.
Have they Alegrias? Then why aren't they content with what they have? Why is there still this need to trash the RF?
They're young, wealthy and have 2 healthy children which for most people would be enough so if "they've got the world at their feet" why isn't it enough for them?
And now they've got the world at their feet as their own selves.
Representing the Queen across the Commonwealth is probably not all its cracked up to be on GN.
Jaberwok those are my thoughts exactly.
Harry and Meghan could have literally had the world at their feet as the Queen's representatives across the Commonwealth.
Totally agree Allsorts . Their behaviour when the Duke was so ill and subsequently died was nothing short of cruel. I suppose the only way they can make enough money to support their lavish life style is by trashing the RF as neither of them have any other perceivable talents to earn them the minimum wage. The sad thing is, that together they could have been a golden couple, loved and admired throughout the world, with their work in the Commonwealth, which the Queen had earmarked for them, Africa in particular, other venues too where they could have done so much good and made a real difference. To chuck it all away and rely on lies and half truths to earn a living, making themselves thoroughly unpopular to the point of hatred, is quite idiotic. 'Don't do as I do, do as I say,' would appear to be their message! It can only be supposed that they consider themselves too grand,and too important to actually put their lecturing into practise and lead by example?

Aleigrass. Do you not think it very, very strange, that Megan has just one member of her family she invited to the wedding or speaks to. He father bought her up and did everything in his power to help her. She had a sister she was close to, we have seen endless footage of the relationship they once had.She got to be famous on Suits, dumped the lot of them. She eat marked Harry, now he is alienated from all his family, their show biz friends are their new family. So is everyone else wrong and just they right? They make claims without substance, preach on the environment and do the opposite. I really think she has mental health problem as has Harry. Tell me he look contented, I don’t think so. Soon he will remove the blinkers and see just how he has ruined his life.
I really wish they would just live quietly as they said they would, but no they once again do the opposite. They have hurt the Queen very much, all when the Duke was ill and died It’s disgraceful.
I have no opinion at all on who people invite to their weddings, especially people I don't know.
I do, however, know how to spell the woman's name. Meghan. With an H
I worked for the police for many years. I used to prepare files for court, I'd have statements from the accused, the victim and the witnesses. In my experience recollections always vary. It used to amaze me how two people could watch the same event and have such different stories about what happened.

Who cares?
And we still haven’t seen a photo of little Lillibet!
Is this an exam question?
Alegrias1
Lets face it - this thread is really all about women who don't know their place.
Actresses, mistresses, elected leaders of countries.... ?
How do you arrive at this conclusion Alegrias ?
Do you include PH?
Or the Queen??

What about Andrew
What indeed about him?
A fine example of whataboutery !
According to 'Hello' magazine the revised version of 'Finding Freedom' informs us courtesy of Scobie and Durand "As they settled into the 9 bedroom, 7.4 acre, 18671 sq foot property (which like nearly all average couples they took a mortgage out on)".
I really do think H & M should ditch Scobie and Durand if they really believe that they're like "nearly all average couples".
The deal for H's book which comes out next year is reputed to be $29 million so why on earth would they need a mortgage, not to mention the personal wealth they each had when they married, and the financial assistance provided by PC?
How was she carrying herself? Had she brushed her hair?
