Muhler -- very good post no 1694. A few more reviews like yours would be helpful from others.
It's just embarrassing. I don't need to know about Meghan's toilet habits! It might have been funny in a sitcom, but royals are supposed at least to try to be dignified. Even Sarah Ferguson wouldn't talk about going behind a bush when there were no toilets!
Fantastic Fem, much appreciated.
Does your version have the photos .... are there any new/unique photos included, or are they what we’ve seen before?
Can you share some information about The Queen’s jewel cabinet, that I believe is in the book.
And I’ve seen it reported that the Cambridge’s home is described in some detail - I’m assuming it’s Anmer Hall - and something about William and Kate’s photos.
Any details will be great, thanks again.
when you say "even Sarah F wouldn't do that, you are saying a LOT
Doesn't the Queen have legal custody of her grandchildren? If so, then wouldn't Charles really have legal custody of Archie or would that only be when he is the Monarch?
LOL, I thought so, too, though didn't she tell about Diana's warts?
Okay, I'll take another route.
This book somehow reminds me of Tatler's Catherine the Great article few months ago; at quick glance seems to be praising the subjects only to drag them down, from someone who claims to have close connection to the subjects, and a note that the subjects knew about the making of said piece before it was published.
Harry is the person who wrote "making people smile" is what make him happy few years ago during Head Together campaign. Will a man who have that kind of thought able to intentionally hurt someone else's feeling, especially his family? And Meghan is a feminist who campaigning women empowerment and support a charity that help women to find job. Will a woman with that kind of passion treats other women like that?
So, I'll say the Sussexes have nothing to do with this book, most intimate details came from Omid's and Durran's imagination (Omid admited in one interview that he tries to "humanised" the Sussexes with this book) where they took some liberties to spins several "close friends"/"insiders"/"source"s statements to fit their (the authors) narative.
If it all came from Omid's and Durran's imagination, why don't H&M sue them as they do whenever fake news is alleged?

IIRC, she said she'd borrowed a pair of Diana's shoes and caught athlete's foot from them. Pretty gross, but I think the toilet thing is worse!
Im not very clear on what you mean but I doubt if H is going to commit suicide. I think that he MAY be "following Meg" to the US and maybe in a few years the novelty will wear off or things wont go so well and he'll want to come back ot the UK... and that may cuase a lot of strain in the marriage. Its probalby Archie would suffer the most in a divorce.. however...
These two have jumped the fence believing that the grass is greener on the other side and haven't yet had the time to truly establish themselves. Everything is new and sparkly and maybe even a few unicorns and rainbows but that's all part of growing up and standing on one's own two feet. Sooner or later, reality sinks in and that reality is that there are positives and negatives to deal with no matter what you do with your life and it doesn't matter which side of the fence you're on.
I just hope they're a strong enough couple together to be able to withstand whatever comes their way and grow rather than fall apart at the seams.
What is Harry's legal status in the USA? Does he not need a green card to reside there? And surely Meghan's application for UK citizenship has stalled if she has left the country. Can she even legally be Duchess of Sussex?
I haven't read the book and really don't intend to as enough has come out in this thread alone to give me the opinion that this whole panorama of events and rehashing of inane blips and blunders makes me feel like I'm reading a screenplay for an upcoming season of "The Windsors", a comedic parody of the House of Windsor.
One doesn't know where reality ends and the farce begins.
I can't understand the fuss people are making about the "bathroom break". Harry was pleased to find that a Californian actress was happy to go without a proper wash & loos when on safari. That's in her favour and why not say so? It was just a few words amongst 1000s so what am I missing here?

The other side might not be greener but sometimes it’s worth the risk to try.
I know around these parts the BRF are perfect and never said or did anything bad toward Meghan or Harry. Not one rude remark or action ever. Anything bad or confrontational that happened was 100% on her. If she was ever offended it was her imagination. Yada yada.
So frankly it was really for the best they left for the sake of everyone...
I think it's the case of TMI that gross people out. I mean, why would they put THAT in the book?
Many of us here don't think the BRF as perfect, but many of us want to know how the BRF (with the exception of possibly Princess Michael of Kent) were bad or rude towards Meghan. If Meghan thought that Kate didn't go shopping with her or William having reservations about someone he doesn't know as a perceived slight, that's her problem.
Also, I think it's far more rude and tacky to announce that you're pregnant on someone else's wedding, especially when the baby bump was barely showing.

I roll my eyes whenever I see the “well hey, the BRF isn’t perfect....” because..who cares? No one ever said they were perfect; that isn’t relevant, and it’s a poor defense of the Sussexes. Meghan and Harry have behaved badly. As far as I’m concerned, the BRF tried their best to make those two happy, but it was an impossible task. I don’t ascribe to the “there must be a middle ground here”; for me, this mess is primarily on H and M.
