Royal Commentators, reporters and authors

[wannable]

I'll count on you to briefly explain whatever new article/serialization of both books.

I'm truly not so much into reading both ladies. Only the headlines.

The timing has to do with my mood with books coming out so soon after HMQEII death.

[Curryong]

Well, I?m certainly no fan of Angela Levin as you know, and I?m quite astounded that she would come up with that story. It is potentially libellous even if one of the ?plotters? is conveniently dead and the other is the ex wife who praises him up every five minutes.

I?m not buying Angela Levin?s book. I think she?s an awful person. And as for Katie she has always swung with the prevailing wind, as they say.

[TLLK]

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!

I'd like to nominate this one for craziest royal story for 2022.   :eyes: :unsure: :wacko:

I'm 82 years young today 🎂🎈🎉🥳Where HAVE all the years gone? I'm pleased to say though, most of them have been lots of fun with some sad and poignant  moments

[TLLK]

I have to wonder at times if Mr. Scobie truly understands the difference between royals who are official representatives of their nations and receive tax payer funding for their staff, homes, security, travel etc... and those who are the extended family members who may or may not have titles but who are not considered official representatives of their nations. After reading this article, he truly seems clueless to me.  :blink:

Zara and Mike Tindall: Why the selective outrage over their deals?

[wannable]

He knows. Perhaps he wants to help a certain couple to voluntarily put his (the born royal) title in abeyance. True freedom.

He took out royal reporter or royal correspondent from his profile after 2 huge funeral blunders.

To all those people who said that Lady C was wrong, she wasn't. The Queen did in fact have a form of bone cancer.

I think most elderly people know their time is limited and accept it. What else are you going to do, after all? Drink from the Fountain of Youth, lol!

Brandreth didn?t say in his book that the Queen had bone marrow cancer at all. He doesn?t give any diagnosis, quite properly as he isn?t a bone specialist or even a doctor. He says that pelvic and back issues can be associated with bone marrow cancer. However they are also associated with other ailments of very old people as well. Mobility problems are very common in people in their 90s. The Queen had issues with one of her knees for several years. I have similar issues with a knee since a fall and I?m in my seventies. That doesn?t mean I have bone marrow cancer.

Omid's next book

[PrincessOfPeace]

Sorry to disappoint Omid, but the monarchy isn't going anywhere.

[Nightowl]

That is for darn sure, he is so full of his own ego just as his employers are.....anything to make a dollar.  Bet there is a new book out in a year or two by Meghan...

[Curryong]

One thing I have noticed since the doco aired and the TV ratings for it came out is that the main stupid breakfast hosts here who were so full of sarcasm and laughter about the Sussexes have shut up for now! Funny how TV ratings do that!

[Nightowl]

It would really be very nice if the Sussex's would shut their mouths up and stop lying and backstabbing the royal family yet they have absolutely nothing in their lives to offer anyone  all because they  themselves have shown the world the kind of people they are, do not trust Harry or Meghan for it will be told somewhere somehow to the world.....and what I find silly is Meghan has cameras following her life all the time......who lives with cameras following you to the loo or while your cooking or doing dishes or whatever....talk about an ego trip down memory lane.......24/7...  :laugh:

Here is what I would love to see for them........be Quiet, do your own thing, shut up about the royal family, go make zillions of dollars the right way....produce a movie, ride horses, play tennis, eat lobster and go on date nights.....it is called living your own life in a peaceful manner and being decent human beings for a change....because right now you sure in the heck are not decent human beings with all your LIES and changing the story of your life over and over again till the truth is lost. 

[Curryong]

Have you seen the documentary? Whereabouts in the three episodes already shown does it show cameras following Meghan to the loo, or indeed doing the family washing up. And if she does do the latter, then good for her. Better that than making any servants do it!

[wannable]

I don't think the media have shut up, they are thrilled to make moneys from the duo analysing frame by frame, each frame an article. The scrutiny is full on, basically the masses love to watch a drama unfold with the medias' gloves off.

Like the poor Sista Space charity, the one Lady S had an encounter at BP, she said to have closed temporarily her charity which happened at the same time an anon disclosed financial wrong doings, now being scrutinized by the CC in the UK. Famedom does make skeleton closet hunters on the hunt. In hindsight, she would probably have been better off not making her claim ''publicly''. And go off for her rounds of 15 minutes of fame.  The Charity Commission have no other choice but to investigate because the anon's posts is actually someone in the inside; either in the charity itself that has access to the finances or a tip off that went straight to the media and at the same time to the CCUK.

Sorry to disappoint Omid, but the monarchy isn't going anywhere.

He likes going into the rabbit hole. 

Catch me once, Catch me twice
Fool me once, Fool me twice

^ There are followers of the two quotes DESPITE knowing he lied in a court of law.

I'd add him in the dangerous list of machinations (basically hate speech) H, M, D and O.

Even if Sistah Space has got into a muddle with the finances (and that does not necessarily indicate wrongdoing just muddles) that does not excuse the badgering of a woman of colour by an elderly aristocrat on the Palace roster. At all! Racist behaviour matters. Lady Susan could have got away with that sort of behaviour 40 or even 20 years ago. No longer acceptable. Full stop.

[wannable]

One thing doesn't have to do with the other, but a shutdown of a charity because of financial wrong doing is an X forever too. She already 'temporarily' shut it down for personal reasons, but it happened immediately minutes from the anon.

REBECCA ENGLISH GIVES SEVERAL EXAMPLES


Any suggestion negative stories were 'fed' to the media by the Palace as part of a 'war' against Meghan is categorically untrue - in fact I ignored Harry's frankly rude and unprofessional behaviour towards the press, says Royal Editor REBECCA ENGLISH

[wannable]

After seeing the latest trailer and several articles explaining Harry burned to protect William, Any member of the BRF they'd put a Megs story, IMO Harry and Meghan wanted the bad news of something real happening to them be burried, nothing to do with protecting William or as Meghan said ''anyone in the BRF'.

[Nightowl]

I for one would love to read that *bullying report* that HM paid for with her own money and kept it quiet.....I just wonder what is in there that might the Sussex's be afraid of.  Nobody so far has seen it or reported on it either.  Okay shoot the fireworks at me.......

[Nightowl]

Harry keeps attacking his family yet Harry grew up in that family and boy I bet that family has tons of stories about him to tell and aren't.  Some royals who have left the royal family did one thing Harry and wife have yet to learn, keep the mouth shut, well after all how are they going to earn any money it they are quiet?  There probably are lots of stories about Harry and Meghan in the family that are not being told ..at this point.

Nobody is throwing fireworks. However, it may just be possible mightn?t it, that the Inquiry questioned several members of staff who complained about bullying behaviour by other members of the royal family, Andrew for instance, or Sophie who was once photographed shouting in public in a Kensington High Street at her Royal Protection Officer. Or there might well have been complaints about senior members of the Royal Household?s attitude towards junior members of staff. Therefore it may have been quite embarrassing for several people at BP.

And when have the Sussexes ever stated out of their own mouths that they were frightened of the results of the Inquiry? Never as far as I?ve read. In fact they applied to speak to the investigators.

The terms of reference of the Inquiry was in fact very restricted from the beginning. It was specifically called to examine what conduit of complaints about senior staff and principals at the Palaces could be used to resolve issues in the future. In spite of the media squealing it was all about the Sussexes, it wasn?t and was never meant to be.

[Nightowl]

If the report is so innocence of Harry and Meghan then why in the heck lock it up and not share it as far as I know so many want to see and read it.  And there are reports and witnesses of Meghan being extremely rude to staff, does she even know that these people are employed and earn wages to support themselves, they are not indenture slaves (not saying anyone said that).  Why hid it is what I would like to know, wasn't it HM who did not want to share it with anyone?

Everyone loses their cool at times even in public.....I have and it was not pretty. We all get frustrated and irritable when stress takes over, yet if done daily and all the time over little things that really don't matter, then that is a different story. 

I had thought Meghan was smart and intelligent....it seems she is not as bright as we are lead to believe if she did not do some research on the family she was marrying into, and good grief, the BRF is known world wide, she surely could not miss knowing who they are after all she sat in front of BP with her friend one time..so don't think she was that innocent in regards to not knowing about them.
