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

Me neither!

Apparently the book is no longer on Amazon’s top 100 list and is behind The Beano Annual and Diary of a Wimpy Kid! 😂

I can't see what the problem is with wondering what colour skin the child of a mixed race couple will have. As I have seen from friends children/grandchildren, it can be so variable, it can be so variable.

We wonder about everything else, what colour the eyes will be, or the hair, will they be as tall as their mothers family or short like their father's. In our case, will they be neurally diverse?

A storm n a tea cup.

hmm if H & M had never wanted then to be named, why did OS include them at all? This is a rhetorical question because we all know why don't we.

Yes.

Yes, I am extremely sorry for the translators. One story is that they were given an early draft in mistake for the final copy and worked from that in good faith. Translators are all advised to have professional liability insurance.

There’s only so much you can take from an irritating fly that keeps returning before you reach for the can of spray! 😡 🪰⚡️

This whole debacle is over such a trivial thing, just to satisfy the ego of a woman who has been given so much but always wants more.
I don't see any way back for Harry; she won't let him go unless she can replace him and there aren't that many gullible multi-millionaires available. He has no position in England; he turned his back on friends and family and now they are deserting him.

merlotgran there is nothing Scoobie do would like more. The best thing to do is just swat him away, like an irritating fly.

Agreed. Irritating though it is, he’d probably feel any publicity is good publicity. I’d never heard of him till now.

Harry's been well and truly isolated now.
I really never imagined it would come to this. ☹

Has he realised just how he's been manipulated?

Harry &Meghan won’t be happy at this snub 😂

It's so obvious Joseann I don't know how Scobie and Meghan have the nerve to deny it!!!

I feel so sorry for the translators - professional people with reputations to maintain who have been set up.

Joseann Sat 02-Dec-23 17:55:01

That's exactly it. The revelation on the page about it being Charles comes immediately after the quotation from Meghan, "I think that that would be very harmful for them" if the name were to be revealed. You can't help to think that the two comments side by side would lead to an explosion. Someone proofreading would have noticed, well I would.
(I hope I'm not deleted for showing what is the translated version here.)

I would love the RF to cease their vow of silence and sue the pants off Scoobie Doo.

What I don't understand is H said he would never make the conversation public and M said it would be damaging to those responsible if their names were ever known. So why would Scobie who is clearly close enough to her if not him, to have got the 'information' to write 'Finding Freedom', risk it all by mentioning the names in any form, if she hadn't wanted him too.

Especially knowing how litigious the Sussexes are …

Prince Harry is the one who was racist in the past, what with calling an army colleague his "little P* friend", and dressing up as a Nazi.

I suspect you are right M0nica

M0nica Sat 02-Dec-23 16:53:29

I suspect that 'Katie Keen' was Megan's private nickname for the Princess of Wales, No wonder Omid Scobie, thought it was a commonly used nickname for her. What other sources did he have?
