Memories aren’t entirely reliable. Get any sibling group together and find each remembers a key incident differently. It’s also entirely possible to ‘remember’ a particular present only to find your certainty about being 7 at that time is shot down by others.
Harry has talked about the impact of trauma on his memory. I’m not being team h - just reminding us to stay grounded and not go off on a let’s destroy this man fest.

Indeed.

Our daughters mildly disagree on most every event in their lives. But they would, wouldn't they? Their perspectives differ, eldest is 60, youngest 40.

Happens in all circumstance. Memory isn't fool proof.

Poor Mr and Mrs Henry Mountbatty Windsor, Earl of Dumbarton? Or did he refuse Dumbarton.

Seems to be in full ignition

If H believes that trauma has had an impact on his memory, was it wise to write a book and give interviews containing ‘facts’? Or is it just another example of rowing back?

Good point GSM. If you’re claiming that, you are basically admitting that your memories may not be accurate.

FannyCornforth ~. I know it’s shallow of me but I’m not sure how much more dreadful news I can take on cost of living, businesses going bust, strikes in the public sector, which I see as inevitable if the bleep government doesn’t shape up.
I’ve just had my hair cut. Salon owner in tears about her heating bills, the village pub is closing leaving the landlord/owner distraught. The stylists all comparing terrifying notes on their December heating bills. They darent put their prices up or customers will reduce appointments.
The awful sadness in the RF is almost a soap opera distraction - except it’s not. There are real people living their own truth whilst everyone judges

I would agree with you if Harry wasn’t hell bent on destroying everything and everyone that used to make him tick. He doesn’t care who he hurts or that some of his recollections don’t just vary, they’re plainly untrue. His breathtaking arrogance over his drug taking may come back to bite him but I really think he believes he is somehow above the law.

I don’t think any of us are trying to destroy him.

Quite right Iam
It’s just so easy to take the mickey I suppose.
I actually had to keep away from the ‘Harry Stuff’ for a while as I knew it was affecting me.
I listen to LBC a lot, and for the past week it’s been none stop.
Thankfully it seems to have died down now.
But I think it’s been a (welcome?) distraction for many in these rather rubbish times.
They are now back to talking about pre payment metres, Brexit and congestion charges on LBC 🤷‍♀️

and meghan hasn't sued him yet after his book on her.
Does that imply that her ‘truth’ says the same thing?

Totally agree, when our five AC are together their recollection of family events often differ, sometimes dramatically different.

It must be all the ganja that’s affected his memory.
I started typing that intending it as a joke; but it’s likely that there’s truth in it

Main points about Broughty Ferry
1. The sand dunes
2. The posh hotel tea with white tablecloth and silver with my grandmother
3. It was very windy

Bower is certainly a lot more accurate than P. Harry who has not checked any of his "truths" at all. Every day more and more inaccuracies are discovered, and his recollections are totally wrong in quite a few cases cases - eg. being gifted an Xbox 4 years before they were invented

Bower’s Johnson book was very good

Volver have you visited Broughty Ferry at all? Hope you don’t mind the question but it’s a lovely place to visit if you can get out and about.

The spoof character Bob Servant hails from Broughty Ferry.
The books are very, very funny.
I didn’t like the TV show though.

Tom Bower has been widely criticised for his inaccuracies, his poor research and the absolute fabrication in his books. Just google Tom Bower criticism and it will all come up.
He's an opportunist who jumps on the bandwagon and uses popular opinion to make sure his books sell.

Do Scottish people still say ‘What a shame’? It’s all in the delivery though. My aunts perfected the technique.

🤣🤣It’s not just Scottish people who say that, with the perfect intonation to imply something totally different.

Pot, kettle, black, tickingbird.

Straws, clutching, volver.

It doesn’t pay to get overly engaged. As I said up thread we are all wrong sometimes, even you.

What about the the accusations being thrown at the RF by Harry? Many of them are pretty diabolical. Some posters certainly appear to think they deserve all they get and are thrilled at the prospect that this could be the beginning of the end of the monarchy.

Not that it is.

No, I'll not wear sackcloth and ashes about that.

The disgusting things that have been said about public figures on here, and the accusations thrown at a woman who some people think deserves all she gets because Tom Bower is such an authority on everything and never gets it wrong?

It's diabolical.
