21 hours ago Meghan Markle's friend Omid Scobie insists future of monarchy is 'dull' without 'gen Z-favoured' Sussexes

Gen Z
Born 1997-2012
Ages 10-25

Mr. Scobie needs to do a little research on generational demographics as the Sussexes like the Cambridges, Mappelli-Mozzis/Brooksbanks are "Gen Y" or "Millennials" considering that they were both born in the early 1980's.

Yes Scobie was wrong about the demographics. However it is significant that both Gen Zs and many Millennials have, in poll after poll considerably more sympathy and empathy for Harry and Meghan as people than the older demographics (such as baby boomers) do.

The book went through lawyers, all sources were confirmed.  What is so hard to not understand that these sources stand with TB and the book is 'actually' out for purchase with delivery date asap, like you can get it tomorrow.

Vanity Fair got in touch with P&G and advertisement historians...come on now, her DAD when SHE was good with him, he agreed to play the P&G part ficticious story.

Bower isnt exactly Mr Snow White himself!

n 2019, a biography of Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn, Dangerous Hero, was published. Serialised at length in the Mail on Sunday, it was a number two Sunday Times bestseller.[30][31] The book accused Jeremy Corbyn of being an anti-Semitic Marxist. The book has been seriously criticised by Peter Oborne, writing in Middle East Eye, for its lack of referencing, alleged factual errors and the systematic omittance of relevant facts.[32] Stephen Bush, writing in The Guardian, referred to the book as a "hatchet job" littered with "rudimentary errors"[33] and journalist Oscar Rickett called it "garbage".[34] In the book, he made false allegations against the Palestinian Return Centre. Along with the publisher HarperCollins he made a full, unqualified withdrawal of the allegations, but neither apologised nor paid any money to the complainant or the lawyers. The allegations are to be removed from all future editions of the book.[35] The Mail on Sunday and MailOnline which serialised the book had to pay full damages and issue a written apology.[36

Well in the last elections he was found out, far leftist (4 persons I recall) him included are out from labour party. The truth always outs, always. Later pictures of him with Marxist lovers, what else. We can discuss this at the Coffee board if you want, plenty of bad stuff came out of him during the Boris Johnson elected MP. Not here in the Sussex board.

Whatever Jeremy Corbyn was or wasn?t Bower came a cropper over that biography of him and he and the publisher had to issue full apologies as did the tabloids.

This book is about the Sussex's only and not someone else from what I understand and please correct me if I am wrong...And Wannable, I totally agree that the *TRUTH* always wins, it will come out in time regardless of what anyone says. And that is something I think the Sussex's don't realize when they are talking to the media or anyone else.  They need to *think* before they open the mouth!

His new interest is with Stop Oil, the ones that glue themselves to invaluable paintings, chain themselves to whatever sport event, get in the middle of the highway.  I am very happy that they are booed. IMO he can be up there, criminal activities.

He is no where else wanted.  He is an ex from the labour party, the pinacle, the climax. IF a person can't stay on the top of the hill, die dignified in that hill, but he was outed.

I do not know if Tom Bower has the time now to request the court to retreat or whoever Jeremy sued, because he did win then, but then was outed 2020 for what he had sued.  It will be interesting to see what Tom decides in the future about this case, if it is worth it, request a retraction from the Court, the outing of J was so public that it was directly related to what he complained about, but right now Tom is riding a monster wave of fame and fortune with his new book about Megxit (Megxit trending in twitter, followed second place by Serena Williams, third Meghan)

The Omid Scobie discussion should probably be in this thread.

Subjective is trending, just in case. Nothing has to be factual now a days.

And he's back...Ken Warfe with another book on the late Diana, Princess of Wales.

Diana bumped into a dozen elderly male nudists: Bodyguard KEN WHARFE reveals Princess's rebellions | Daily Mail Online

Running out of spare cash in his old age? I admit I read Wharfe?s first book about Diana published years ago and found it interesting. However KW has been flapping his gums in interviews and docos about Diana, Charles and their sons for a good twenty years or more now. How much more has he genuinely got to tell? These anecdotes, if true, must be really scraping the bottom of the barrel of his memory. After all, he wasn?t employed as an RPO at Diana?s death, and both Harry and William were still very young when he left the household. Anything to earn some more money I suppose!

Omid Scobie

Taking a short break. Back to tomorrow eve🙋🏻‍♂️

pip , squeak , United Kingdom, 7 hours ago

They were never invited. This was Omid Scobie putting out a tweet and saying it. It was only ever an event that will be attended by working royals as it is an official event. You cannot be uninvited to something you were never meant to attend.

L00L00, London, United Kingdom, 8 hours ago
They weren't invited. Omid scobie floated the idea in order to force an invite. Those two are putting pressure on via the media, same as the uniform situation. Don't forget what these two were putting out just a week before The Queen's death.

Mmm Not Really, Somewhere in, Australia, 7 hours ago

A STATE Reception, for a STATE occasion. They are there for a FAMILY funeral, "The Firm" who is still working on behalf of the "STATE" is hosting a reception. Why would they even be considered to be invited? It's like me expecting to be included at work events of the company I previously worked for.

AussieReg, Sydney, Australia, 11 hours ago

Correct decision. This function is a diplomatic reception by the UK for International Heads of State/Govts - not a family social gathering. This is a reminder for the reasons why Non-working royals should not be allowed to use HRH titles because they do not represent the UK. It would put HRH before Presidents, Governors-General, Prime Ministers & other distinguished national leaders.

^The above comments have more than 10K likes. Clearly they have Omid's receipts, he even broke an ''embargo'' which in red said could be posted the 16th in REF to the PPOWS's by posting the ''embargo'' the 15th.  I understand he is a friend of the Sussexes and must be feeling terrible that they aren't working royals, but his behaviour via tweets is erratic.

New biography claims Andrew 'plotted' to set himself up as Regent with Prince William leapfrogging Charles
A palace insider alleges the Duke of York was 'poisonous' and 'very nasty' about Camilla, now Queen Consort
He is also said to have been 'extremely unpleasant' when he failed to get his way

Katie Nicholl, The New Royals
The Queen felt hurt about Megxit, then in the last days didn't want to know about them anymore

Andrew is a very unpleasant fellow and everyone knows it. However every day of Diana?s existence as Princess of Wales and afterwards has been exhaustively documented. If Andrew had been plotting anything with Diana to get William onto the Throne in place of Charles it would have come out by now, especially since her death. Diana would have confided in someone about it.

And when would he have got the time to do it? Throughout most of Diana?s time as Prss of Wales and during her separation/divorce Andrew was in the Royal Navy and often at sea or on a Naval or air course. Fergie once complained that she had seen him something like about one consecutive month in her entire marriage, an exaggeration, but still. If Andrew had been cloistered in conversations with Diana for hours at KP or Balmoral someone in the family or Diana?s staff would surely have noticed. It was hardly the sort of thing that could have been ?plotted? in a half an hour chat!

Angela needs to be a bit cautious I would say. Andrew may be a non-working royal but is still capable of suing for libel, and what she is suggesting is treasonous. Her imagination running wild AGAIN, I would guess.

As for Katie Nicholl, making sure of future interviews as an RR I see. She?s always been one to gather the gossip though not about Camilla?s royal experiences as Charles?s mistress. Like the others until the Dimbleby interview disclosure the RRs kept quiet about that!
I certainly remember Katie ranting on and on about how happy Harry and Meghan were and how gorgeous Meghan was inside and out. That?s what I mean about RR?s like her and Jobson writing books. Their motives are so obvious they would light up the night skies!
