The publisher should put out the book byHenry of good scathing lies, half truths, juicy gossip, fire arrows aimed at his usual targets of Charles and William by Thanksgiving. Capitalize on the death of QE. Actually, next month is better.

@Curryong I get you are Sussex fans, but you see no wrong in them.

How do you justify?.edit
Megs? interview in The Cut?

Henry loss his father too.
Well no contract was signed so she will hint hint?.speak ?more?

These were her own words. The entire interview. No out of context here.

Henrys book is going to be a good one to knock, QEs legacy of 70 years off a bit and aim torpedos right at King Charles and William.

Very difficult contractual situation. If he desists with the book, he would have to return moneys (and with interests if mentioned in any part of the contract), If he goes forward and there is 'more trashing of the royals that count-Charles, Camilla, William and Kate/the purchase bate, trashing a minor royal is blah, is there more of that burnt bridge to burn! Really! :happy15:

Not likely (but there is a small window) the publishers desist, and pays/settles with Harry the USD20Million for the 4 books he had signed up for, plus an extra bonus for what he had intended for charity.

IMO the book will be published, the question is when. Then also, when the BRF read it as they allegedly have been denied to read the final draft and henceforth 'right to reply', both the above parties already know the BRF are lawyered up.

I'm nervous about this book, as I heard that in it he trashes his stepmother. Perhaps this is not true, as so many items we hear and read are not. But if it is true, I can't imagine what he has to say negative about her. Back in the late 2000-oughts I listened to an interview in which he said she wasn't a negative stepmother and that he and William "love her to bits" - he even added that he was pleased at how happy she makes his father. Has she does something since then to tick him off that we don't know about? Perhaps. That's why I'm dreading it.

Amabel2 · October 17, 2022, 11:45:18 AM

not at all. All that has happened is that Charles has stopped paying for Harry and H may reckon that he can make his money by talking about his family, including Camilla and attacking them.

wannable · October 17, 2022, 12:45:04 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if the alleged last chapter/Queen's death/Funeral is a moan fest in Harry's book.

Meghan Markle stood by silently as her handler furiously demanded a private table at New York City's Michelin-starred Le Coucou in 2017, according to a new book.

Former maitre d' Michael Cecchi-Azzolina, who worked at the restaurant for two and a half years, claims the star-turned-royal required a table because 'it's for someone who is dating a prince.

'I said, 'I still don't have a private table for you,'' he wrote in his upcoming memoir, 'Your Table is Ready: Tales of a New York City Maitre D.'

Markle and her handler arrived at the restaurant 20 minutes early for their reservation and were subsequently aggressive with staff.

'Are you aware my guest is dating Prince Harry and about to be a duchess?' Cecchi-Azzolina recalls the handler asking. 'Don't you have a private area for us to wait?

'My first impulse was to laugh. I could give two s**ts about Prince Harry's date, and by the attention the escort was drawing from the crowd at the bar, nor did anyone else.'

During the encounter, Markle reportedly 'didn't say a word' and was described by Cecchi-Azzolina as 'aloof.'

Any proof of this tale being offered by this man who worked at a restaurant for a little over two years and comes up with this story now? We all know that the Fail pays for so-called stories. Meghan may very well not have been in NY at that time anyway. She worked in Canada and more or less divided her time between Canada and LA in 2017. Good one Fail, this just appearing at a time when James Cordon, a Briton associated with Harry, is embroiled in a story about bad behaviour in a restaurant!

wannable · October 22, 2022, 05:37:06 PM

The eye catching extracts of Meghan, James Corden, Anna Wintour, Naomi Campbell...bad behaviours in a public place, but his memoir spans his experiences from his university days (Florida and Harvard) to 2011 onward in (all) very famous restaurants where the rich and famous attend.

(The author is doing smart PR, for the British media, I'll give you extracts of the wife of a British royal plus 3 more bad behaving Brits. Breaking: James is being cancelled in the USA, selling his LA home and coming back to old blighty)

So he?s writing this book out of a spirit of public service not because he may well wish to make any money for his retirement from his reminiscences of these restaurants? Oh pleeze! I?m sure people are vitally interested in this man?s University years! And there?s no embroidery of any incidents with customers at this restaurant at all. No, of course not! And I?d like to know how much the Fail (at the moment embroiled in a historic law suit with Harry) paid for this pile of er clickbait.

wannable · October 22, 2022, 05:46:03 PM

He's not retiring, he's opening his own restaurant. The book is being launched with the opening of the restaurant.

Whatever! He needs extra money and intends to make some out of this book and his so-called unembroidered reminiscences of his working life. And he has no verifiable proof of any of his allegations.

That and using his MD in English/Education/Theatre/Arts

Curryong · October 22, 2022, 05:54:03 PM

The news of James Corden (which I?m sure the ever grubby Fail is delighted to print in its everlasting quest for scandalous clickbait) is old news. All of it I read some time ago.

So? This man is an educated university graduate who chose to be a Ma?tre d in restaurants. Whoopy do! And That certainly doesn?t mean that he?s incapable of spreading lies and gossip in order to sell his book. Or that Britain?s most disgusting tabloid isn?t ever eager to assist.

Curryong · October 22, 2022, 06:04:41 PM

As for Piers Morgan. An interesting article from earlier this year about his career for Murdoch and his TV channel which has not been a glowing success it seems.

James cancelled isn't a time ago. It's just yesterday after a barrage of service industries cancelled him. He will probably have to hire a private jet IF British Airways the loner doesn't cancel him too. The guy was okay until security tapes in public places were disclosed via social media. Repeated offender.

Michael the Maitre D
It's a job that clearly he enjoys 2011 onward (work experience).

Very likely the contact book of the who is who and private events that Maitre D's organize. This french fancy word is for Restaurant and Corporate Manager of the Hotel, Restaurant and the sort. I think from what I've read is his preference is politicians. Ruthless probably, politicians may get you here there rather than celebs.

wannable · October 22, 2022, 06:21:19 PM

For those who don't know, a Maitre D is a legal job and protected by labour law worldwide, more details of the top job can be found in the Service and Hospitality Industry.

Job description
The Restaurant Manager/Supervisor can often be referred to as the Maitre d'hotel or Maitre d' for short. They have the overall responsibility for the running and organisation of the restaurant or hotel. They can also be responsible for the administration work in this area also.

By the way, as this June article points out Corden announced in April 2022/that his tenure in the US on the Late Late Show on TV would be ending.

James Corden to return to the UK after finishing 'The Late Late Show'

And the news that he and his family would be returning to the UK to live came out at around the same time.

Prince Harry's memoir has a publication date, after months of frenzied speculation: Jan. 10, 2023. He has gotten cold feet about the book's contents at various points, industry executives with knowledge of the process told The New York Times.

The book is reportedly entitled "Spare".

What a title. Talk about living in the past.
