A certain book

to read beyond the lines of the text.
Which means adding your own perspective to what you read. If everyone does that, there will be Harry’s truth, embellished with what people have read between the lines of the text. Thus adding to the fiction.

Not of William and Kate Sarah75, but yes a bit to Charles. You certainly see what an appalling goldfish bowl like existence it is and the horrors of press attention. This is not particularly from anything Harry says.
It is 400 pages long and as I said before you have to read beyond the lines of the text.
Yes there factual errors and they are annoying.

Interesting, thank you.

The Opah interview changed my opinion of both Harry and Meghan. I have an extremely difficult relationship with my sister who suffers from mental health issues. However whilst I might mention this to friends or on this anonymous forum, I would never go on television and take part in an interview about how difficult our relationship has been ever since her problems began some thirty five years ago. I wouldn’t embarrass either myself or her in such a way.

As I understand it much of what Harry has said can be proved historically by known events to be inaccurate or just plain wrong.

I also noticed the short sentences and paragraphs at the beginning, but as I got further into it and the style changed I assumed that had been a literary device to reflect the recollections of a young boy. Did nobody else think that?
As for the "book for readers with a short-attention span" remark - well I have actually read it and personally found it required quite a bit of attention and thought.
Interesting thread really - eleven pages of comment on a book most people haven't read. 🤔

Having read it, Mamie, did it change your view of Harry, Meghan, William, Charles, the monarchy in general?

I doubt it maddyone, but that's the point of it really. Taking a quote completely out of context (which some of them are) is hardly leading to a fair interpretation is it? I was also surprised when I got to some of those bits that some quotes were innacurate or just plain wrong.

…eleven pages of comment on a book most people haven’t read.

But is there anyone left in the world who hasn’t heard at least some of the incendiary things Harry has alleged?

I forgot to add Merlot - that was very, very funny!

J R Moehringer (the ghost) also write Andre Agassi’s acclaimed memoire, so it would be interesting to see the writing style used there

Apparently Harry is the only one who ever loved the Queen!

It’s all very sad really. It is sad. He's been poorly advised.

To be honest, I just wonder what the future does hold for Harry. I can’t see a way back to his family after this. It’s all very sad really.

He won’t get very far with Louis.

We love this picture, totally uninhibited Louis, the future of the Monarchy in safe ears.
With his concerned Uncle notion, Harry has overstepped the mark as far as William’s children are concerned, now he will not be allowed anywhere near them.

Apparently, it is well written by the ghost writer.

Short paragraphs, lots of italics and short chapters.

Obviously aimed at readers with a short attention span. 😂

It has disappeared from our independent bookshop today. Not in the window display or inside. There were 6 copies in Sainsbury's on day 1. I do plan to read it when price reduced. Apparently, it is well written by the ghost writer.

Harry should focus on his own marriage and his own children. He’s not exactly looking after their interests is he. People will share with his children the stuff that he’s spouting.

If I was his wife it would be, Spare Room!

He won’t get very far with Louis.

If Harry managed to gain access to William’s children on the pretence of reforming the monarchy, I would not put it past Harry, sick narcissistic person that he is, to use that opportunity to influence and turn William’s children against their own father.

I wonder what he’ll call his next book?

Don’t think it will be ‘Happy Families’ or ‘Brotherly Love’ somehow.

Movin' on Out?
Then Movin' on Up.
California Dreamin'?

Suggestions on an A4 sheet please.
