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

Me neither!

welbeck That YouTube clip is terrific. Love it!! Thanks for sharing.

Joseann, well, we know where Omid Scobie gets his information from. the question is - is this source reliable and we all know the answer to that question!

Smileless2012 Fri 08-Dec-23 22:51:13

So having sworn on his and his family's lives Scobie has said what of course we knew along that he did name Charles and Kate.

I wonder how long we'll have to wait for an honest answer to that question Joseann.

Thanks Monica.
But not even if it were free - now we know Scobie was lying. But where did he get his information from??

I bought Spare on my kindle when it was on a deal

Haven’t read it though, might start when I am wide awake at 2am hopefully it will send me to sleep 😴😴😴

Endgame was in the window of our small bookshop today, £22, which was annoying because I couldn't get it from the shelf for a quick read.

I haven't even read Spare yet, so don't suppose I will catch up with this one for ages, if ever.

The book is now apparently No. 215 on Amazon's bestseller list.

A bestseller list of 214

M0nica Wed 06-Dec-23 22:46:17

Roughly 1:10,000 of the population

So far it has sold 6,500 copies in the UK.

Gosh! Six thousand five hundred people actually paid money for it?

The whole of the Republican Group perhaps?

I hope the sales don't cover his advance fee, then publishers might think twice before publishing his dross in the future.

Smileless2012 Wed 06-Dec-23 18:30:49

hmm I wonder how low it can go. As low as the person who wrote it perhaps?

Smileless2012 Wed 06-Dec-23 12:42:42

Yes of course we do. We wondered if our first GC would have red hair hmm maybe that's why we ended up being estranged.

M0nica Wed 06-Dec-23 12:28:17

Don't most families make remarks like that when a baby appears? The first thing we noticed with DGS was that he had prehensile toes - just like his grandpa - and we commneted on it and grandpa took a shoe and sock off to demonstrate that his big toe was separated from his other toes almost like a thumb.

We commented that DGD was born looking worried, just like her father. We all do this - dont we?

I suspect the Offices of the RF have a file of accusations of bullying by Markle that have been suppressed by kindness or something. I would not be surprised if a few leaks appeared over the next year.

I am sure they have a very long list, some of which has already been leaked somehow.

eazybee Wed 06-Dec-23 10:25:41

I believe that remark was reported by Diana some years later.
True?

hollysteers Wed 06-Dec-23 10:20:34

Apparently after Harry was born, Charles allegedly said something along the lines of “Another red headed Spencer”.
I can imagine him making some sort of remark, not racist and taken out of context.
