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

Me neither!

TerriBull Thu 30-Nov-23 16:04:07

Brothers whether Royal or otherwise have been known to lamp each other, look no further than Noel and Liam Gallagher, well known for it! Whether one of them ended up in the dog's bowl who knows, although I suspect their respective necklaces sunglasses remained unscathed. Well there's a message in there somewhere for Harry maybe "Don't Look Back In Anger" it was only a necklace sad

Oh no; I do hope no-one writes a book in defence of the royal family because then they will think they have scored.
Much better to let them spew out their bile and continue to treat them with the icy indifference which makes them so cross, while the rest laugh at them.

I think we should be a republic. No place for a Royal Family in 2023. They should just be made into ordinary citizens. Why are people bowing and curtseying to them in this day and age? Kate is just the daughter of business people not a goddess. I think racism is integrated into our 'upper classes' and our press. If you look at articles from when Kate was pregnant and when Megan was pregnant you can see the bias. Megan was criticised for touching her bump the way she held her baby etc. Kate was praised for the same things. Sad but true.

H&M really are ‘the gift that keeps on giving’.

Even though they aren’t named in the thread title, it still produces pages of comments.

You can always rely on them to give us at GN something to chew over.

"William attacked Harry what a thug" that's so funny sazzl.

It is.
One moment calling William a thug for allegedly ripping Harry's necklace, then Harry fell to the floor into the dog's dinner. Ah, bless 😂

Then sazz1 is advocating the whole of the family be got rid of!! 😲

I think the main reason William tried to persuade Harry to delay the marriage and was very negative towards Megan is pretty obvious now. Also Kate being cold, frosty and aloof towards her SIL is obvious now why. Charles is a disgrace anyway for the way he treated his Diana so I'm not at all surprised about him or Kate being named. The late queen was a real lady. The rest of this family are awful. William attacked Harry what a thug. Racist family that need abolishing.

Also Kate being cold, frosty and aloof towards her SIL is obvious now why
You mean this kind of cold, frosty and aloof in the photo or is there another kind, sazz1?

The rest of this family are awful. William attacked Harry what a thug. 😂😂😂

You believe Scobie then? Really?

You think someone should be abolished including the children - ie done away with? orf with their heads?
I think most of us are more civilised than that now, thank goodness.

Poor Diana , claimed there were three in her marriage, she had no problem being the third in several marriages

Yes, he is. I think he’ll tell it as it is, within the bounds of the law. About time someone gave H&M a taste of their own medicine.

I look forward to hearing about Gary’s book. Good for him.

Isn't Gary a bit of a rogue? I doubt he will mince his words!

It’s really not even worth having a thread about it. It might be worth it in the end, if a lot of the suspicions on here over the past years are correct. If not, people watching and family dynamics are interesting to discuss, even if we aren't involved.

Well that’s good Syracute.

So where does Omid Scobie get his information from?

Meghan?
Completely made up by himself?
An anonymous source, never to be disclosed?

Answers on a postcard please. No prize for getting the right answer.

Who said any of this is true ? It’s really not even worth having a thread about it . He certainly is getting the attention here that he does not deserve .

Do you believe a word written in Endgame, whatever language?

Oh no! Not Gary!!

The gloves are off 🤼‍♂️

I’d have put money on Princess Anne and Prince Philip- so I was wrong.

I’m almost disappointed it wasn’t Princess Anne.

‘Naff Orf the lot of you!’ 🤣🤣

When the whole bridesmaid dress, shoe debacle broke, and the ensuing "who made who cry" Meghan relaying that back chose initially to ignore Catherine had just given birth to Louis and could have been feeling more emotional due to hormones, although at a later stage attributed some of that to "baby brain" Nice one Meghan! Mask slipped there as to the sisterhood, mere lip service and for someone who bleats on ad infinitum about her own mental health, she shows sod all empathy for so many other women who have come into her orbit shock

I wonder what emotional impact all this is having on Catherine?
If I were her mum I'd be itching to have my say publicly to set the records straight.

Smileless2012 Thu 30-Nov-23 11:13:54

There aren't many left for her to abandon.

H & M have not distanced themselves from Scobie's book so we can only assume they have had a part in it as they are extremely quick to threaten legal action at other times.

Meghan is very jealous of Catherine and as Anniebach and others have said, M expected and wanted to be Queen Bee, and then found that she wasn't.... hence we have the petty venom at every opportunity.

It's not just the family.
Meghan has said some pretty nasty things to and about her staff, some of whom were handpicked for their experience and discretion by Harry.

I thought she would be a breath of fresh air, bringing her drive and enthusiasm for charity work with her, but it looks as if she has gone through her life leaving a trail of destruction and abandoned relationships in her wake, family, friends and staff.
Who next?

tickingbird Thu 30-Nov-23 11:06:06

Tbh I came to the conclusion that Meghan is a nasty piece of work a long time ago. Why any of these organisations pander to her and give her nonsense awards baffles me. As for Harry, I don’t believe he’s the nice guy we all thought he was. They deserve each other.

maddyone Thu 30-Nov-23 11:02:19

The only woman Meghan cares about is herself.

Callistemon21 Thu 30-Nov-23 11:01:35

It seems to me that this whole thing has been a deliberate and cunning ploy to get those names in the public arena without the Sussexes having to breathe a word. It's obvious that it wasn't a "translation error" but rather a calculated publicity stunt. Would many be talking about the book otherwise?
