Harrys' book.

I've bought the paper version, it's not something I'd normally do but I've also got the audio version as I really like Hazzas soothing dulcet tones.
 
Waste of money, the juicy bits have all been revealed in the interviews and the media that translated the Spanish copies released last week.

I particularly liked the narration of this bit…

“I looked at Willy, really looked at him, perhaps for the first time since we were little, taking in every detail: his familiar scowl, which had always been the norm in his dealings with me. His baldness was alarming and much more advanced than mine. The familiarity of his face with our mother’s had eroded over time and now he just looked like a silly old balding tosser with a prune faced wife”

Funny, but obviously not in the book
 
Just ordered mine. Funny thing is, prior to all this I couldn’t care less about any of them. Then when I saw people being horrible about Meghan without any evidence I started taking interest.

So in essence, you lot who hate them have helped them make a sale 👍🏻
 
Just watched GB news and when Harry wrote in the book that he heard about the Queen Mother’s death he was in England and mentioned the nice warm weather but photographic evidence shows he Charles and William were skiing in Europe when she died. Difficult to believe anything he says if he can’t remember where he was when someone so important to him and the nation died🤷🏽‍♂️
 
Just seen the news people queuing since the early hours outside Waterstones.

I know we have a lot of Geeks in this country but for Christs sake it’s a book about Ginger nut and and his American wife who are desperate to cause mayhem within the royal family and their simply out to make a fortune and these Geeks are all contributing towards it.

I wouldn’t even wipe my arse on a few pages if truth be known. 🫣😡

No wonder Recidivist has been so excitable on this subject, he is obviously the ‘ghost writer’.

The queen mother was so important to the nation? 👀

What sort of idiot is buying this trash?
I see that bookshops were opening at midnight for the start of the sale.
People were actually flooding the bookshops. Probably the same in 'Good old USA'.
It's going to sell millions.
Unfortunately.
Megan will never have to work again. That is, if she stays with Harry.

Best selling non fiction book of all time. 400,000 sold up to tea time.

Only book close is the other Harry.
 
I love the way that some papers are desperately trying to dis book sales despite it being the fastest selling non-fiction book of all time
 
Ironically the reptilian gutter press will have increased interest in the book by splashing juicy excerpts in their papers over the last few days, which I find dead funny!😂
 
Like the Mail or Sun it won’t be read by me. I am sure it will be a fascinating read for the forelock tuggers and haters.
 
The same people buying this are probably the ones moaning that he’s making money out of selling his story….idiots
 
To be honest, even in the ITV interview they have honed in on certain passages, without the full context and sensationalised his comments for effect…. The book obviously gives a much more rounded picture.

It’s an interesting read so far 👍

If referring to the war years as the Queen I can accept that. In her latter years she is believed to have been very snobbish but then, don't we all become more conservative, (small C), the older we get.

Well you’ve become more conservative in the last 24 hours!!

Are you Lost’s doppelgänger?

I have wondered myself. I carry my socialism seriously as does my father. And yet, both of my parents were huge Monarchists (my mother passed last year). Do I take any lessons from that? Yes, the King and Queen in the War were massively important. Even whilst voting in a huge socialist majority in 1945, the British people saw no contradition in this position. The British can be at once conservative and socialistic. It's weird but it fits. As I say elsewhere, there needs to be a discussion about royalty within our constitution but it needs to be a serious one not this mentally fragile charade thrown out by the Sussexes.

Well whether you like it or not, it’s the Sussexes who have kicked off the debate.

The fact you can’t see that the anti H&M rhetoric is an attempt to close down that debate suggests you’re a bit behind the curve.

Watch the ITV interview. And actually listen to what Harry is saying. It’s all the issues that need to be debated. And all the issues that are trying to be swept under the carpet with a bit of a hate fest.

This really is quite a wicked and seriously outdated kind of response and something I would genuinely expect to read from a buffoon like Jacob Rees Mogg.

Society as a whole has been forced to re-examine these kind of archaic attitudes towards how we relate to each other in the workplace, in our interpersonal relationships and in particular those relationships where ‘power’ comes into play…

All of these transformations in our society have been brought about by small people standing up and kicking back against a corrupt system… Often these brave souls are forced to swim against the tide of popular opinion, shoulder the abuse and distortion from the press as well as the reaction from their colleagues, associates or fellow citzens in order to effect change for the better.

You talk about these people with such blind and uncompromising disdain …. We’ve had plenty of lame discussion and H&M and others have tried to cajole, educate and engage with their family…. Ultimately you need lot more than civil discourse to effect real change…

😂 I agree.

We need more “brave souls” prepared to “swim against the tide” and bear all the brickbats and abuse.

Frankly I think we both deserve medals. 👍

Edit to add - but I’m not sure who’ll give them to us. Charles? Wills?

The issues should not be debated. We need a strong constitution, not a weak one spawned by this idiot and his wife. He should not be leading the narrative, neither should anybody in the popular media.

How do you get a “strong constitution” without debating it? Especially when the current one is unwritten? Someone presumably has to write it?

And to write it you need to discuss all the issues raised by Harry. The issues that some people, including you, are trying to desperately brush under the carpet.

I always thought sovereignty rested with the electorate but you seem to be arguing it’s not for us to discuss. It should instead be “pushed upstairs” and settled by our betters. Who might just be the same people who’ve got the country into its current mess.

You’re not coming across as a socialist at all. In fact you’re coming across as a Tory of the worst sort.

You don't understand my point. What we are witnessing with Sussex is a puerile tittle tattle argument about his personal treatment. Social media and the redtops are not the media through which the British Constitution should be discussed. You can call that snobbery if you wish. I prefer that people from all walks of life be consulted through Intelligent debate. Join a political party and become a part of the debate. Make serious online statements, join in national debates but not this childish me, me, me narrative. It shows how gullible and low brow segments of the British Public can be. Grow up.

I think that depends…. I’m not entirely convinced that there are and defined ‘rules of engagement’ when it comes to forcing necessary change.

Campaigns and conversations conducted through media have often been some of the most successful.

From what I’ve seen the so called ‘mature conversation’ that you seem to stand behind is probably the least effective way of forging any kind of change….

For Me it just sits in the “Nice Idea / Achieves Fuck All” category … The realm of talkers as opposed to do’ers.

Ah right. Kick the can down the road. Let’s push it into a committee somewhere so it can be debated properly. But FFS don’t let the general public get involved.

Yep. Tory is socialist clothes. Get some fire in your belly man!!

A better post x3. Is this peurile tirade a point of 'necessary change?' I think not. However , there is a serious debate to be had about the place of monarchy. This nonsense from Sussex just happens to coincide with a time in which a serious discussion might be held. However, of itself, the Sussex soap opera is nothing more than tangential.

The revolution won't start with the publication of this coffee table yawnfest.

That’s fine by the way. But it undermines your socialist credentials.

I'm relaxed about where I stand politically. Now if you want me to wax lyrical about the wrongs in society and in the world then you'd be far better dwelling on subjects like climate change and the Corporate naysayers, or the decay in public services caused quite deliberately by the Tories. As for this pillock and his book I stand firm. He does a disservice to himself, his family and his country.

That’s fine. Just so long as the people and causes you’re supporting know you’ll only go so far. And if push comes to shove you’ll probably make your excuses and leave.
