Anyone going to be reading his latest swipe at the Royal Family which comes out tomorrow?

Me neither!

Chestnut Tue 28-Nov-23 00:51:13

I can't believe this pathetic saga is still running. His stupid face keeps popping up along with equally stupid comments. I visualise him as a ventriloquist dummy sitting on Meghan's lap. 😂

I imagine most people are sick to death of H&M and just wish they would disappear altogether.

The best review so far: Endgame, a hit job that reads like a Mumsnet post about the worlds' worst in-laws,' (Anita Singh, Daily Telegraph.)

Omid scobie, odious little git

I am just annoyed that hard-strapped Public Libraries are wasting money on this trash.

Casdon Tue 28-Nov-23 09:48:41

But what’s the point of a public library if it isn’t to stock the books that people most want to read eazybee? I’m not condoning the book, but it’s not illegal.

maddyone Tue 28-Nov-23 09:53:43

I don’t mind public libraries stocking the book because people want to read it, and we don’t censor books normally in the UK. However it concerns me that people will believe what is most likely a book full of lies and made up stories.
I hope it’s filed in the fiction section.

I don't want to read his pathetic made-up rubbish.

GrannyGravy13 Tue 28-Nov-23 10:13:40

I will not read it.

The snippets that have been leaked seem to be one long criticism (jealousy) fest against the Princess of Wales.

I was never agin H & M but this appears to be very spiteful, a temper tantrum from a toddler springs to mind…

That’s brilliant! 😂

If people wish to read this tripe they should be prepared to pay for it and then their money can go directly to the author they affect to despise. Libraries are making all sorts of swingeing cuts, mainly at the expense of staff, and this book, although I'm sure will have been carefully checked to ensure there are no grounds for libel, is full of unpleasant personal attacks.
I do realise it will boost the lending levels of individual libraries so perhaps that is why it is purchased.

Calendargirl Tue 28-Nov-23 10:32:08

Seeing as I appear to be the only one who intends to actually read this book, I will come back with a review after I get it from the library.

Sorry eazybee, but I feel no guilt ordering a book from my local library. If they chose not to stock it, fair enough, but they obviously do.

From snippets I have already seen, I think H&M need to hope that Charles remains on the throne for a good few years, even if he is an ‘unpopular’ king, as I think once William is King, pussyfooting around the Sussexes will come to an abrupt halt.

it is not compulsory!

henetha Tue 28-Nov-23 10:35:29

No, thank goodness grin

No idea why anyone would want to read this tripe.

why would you have any idea?

Urmstongran Tue 28-Nov-23 10:37:44

I’m not the least bit interested in this book.

Lovetopaint037 Tue 28-Nov-23 10:49:38

Ad nauseum it goes on and on. No other reason but make money. The more outrageous - the more lucrative. Yes open the tower and put them all in so they can share their rubbish and we can forget them.

Jaberwok Tue 28-Nov-23 10:51:51

You're certainly right there Calendargirl, but I think even Harrys long suffering father has had enough! This unwarranted and vicious attack on the RF, particularly the Princess of Wales could well be the straw etc. I haven't read or listened to any of the rubbish that has come out of Montecito and have no intentions of doing so now. If M & H are not the source of this odious mans information, then where is he getting it from? We now have two royal racists, as yet unnamed! Apparently they will remain as such owing to fears of a libel lawsuit. . Why such fears if this were true? Whether or not you support the RF, vicious, attacks on any people unable to reply is both cowardly and downright disgusting. Chestnut, I did chuckle at your description of Omid ?? Couldn't have put it better myself!!

Jaberwok Tue 28-Nov-23 10:54:47

A butt of malmsey wine comes to mind for this treacherous brother!

Chestnut Tue 28-Nov-23 11:08:53

Yes, after all this time there are suddenly two people querying baby's skin colour. After all the furore raging about racism for a year or two Harry emphatically stated that there was no racism in the Royal family. It came out of his own mouth! By then of course it was too late because the damage had been done (and they knew it). Now we have this new Scoobie Doo nonsense. I just wish the three of them would disappear (mind you there are lots of people I would like to disappear!)

TerriBull Tue 28-Nov-23 11:18:35

The Brother Grimm may well distance himself from this book, nevertheless the pair of them will both continue to be associated with everything that comes out of The Pandora's Box of ill will, aimed at the Royal family having lifted the lid on it in the first place!.

It appears as if this is just a reworking of his own moanathon, in other words all in the public domain already, with some added spite aimed at Catherine. The assertion that she's cold, a supposition based on what? that she doesn't want to share her lip gloss or didn't throw her arms around Meghan on their first meeting. Nevertheless, she's not the one with a trail of discarded relationships, family, friends, dumped husband, disgruntled members of staff. As for the King advising other members of the family not to trust Harry, well pretty understandable under the circumstances, I mean why would they when every conversation may be twisted to fit the Sussex narrative of "their truth" relayed back in yet another interview.

It's not as if Charles, Camilla, William or Catherine can respond to what now seems to be a constant stream of one sided gossipy trash! Personally, I think they are playing a blinder, just going about their duties and ignoring all of it!

Chestnut Tue 28-Nov-23 12:13:32

I agree they are doing the right thing in ignoring all this trash, but wouldn't it be great if they could sue the three of them for several millions! Maybe for defamation of character or libel or something. After all, making unsubstantiated accusations should be illegal.

Shelflife Tue 28-Nov-23 12:28:00

This ' royal saga' is out of hand - No I will not be reading it !!

Jaberwok Tue 28-Nov-23 12:53:49

We've got Meghans book to come yet! From what can be understood, this offering from Scooby Doo is indeed Endgame for H &M. It's allegedly a final step too far ! Well lets hope P.H is happy with this outcome, as I can't see any going back now. Mind you, bearing in mind how he treated his dying grandparents, I guess nothing would cause him any regrets.

Joseann Tue 28-Nov-23 13:04:09

Now we have this new Scoobie Doo nonsense.
Be very careful Chestnut and * Jaberwok*. You do know you're being racist here! 🤣 😂
