Links - 25th January 2023 (1 - Meghan & Harry)

Meghan and Harry: Bodyguard pictured with Sussexes is ex-Met officer convicted of choking his wife - "A bodyguard pictured with Prince Harry and Meghan is a former Met Police officer convicted of strangling his wife leaving her 'seconds away from death'... Pere Daobry, 51, was pictured driving the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in a Range Rover on September 5 as they left Frogmore cottage on their way to London’s Euston station... The 6ft 7in bodybuilder only escaped imprisonment because he called 999 and confessed to his crime - while his wife committed suicide in 2019 after describing him as a 'lunatic'.   The revelation will raise eyebrows as Meghan has long championed women's rights and campaigned against gender-based violence... During the couple's tour to South Africa in 2019 Meghan said in an ActionAid speech that men and boys should be held accountable for their actions... In a traumatic interview after his conviction, Mrs Jay said: 'I suffered at the hands of this lunatic for two years. I am devastated he isn't behind bars. He deserves to be.  'For any man to do this is terrible - for a policeman to do what he did is outrageous. He nearly killed me. All he got is a slap on the wrists"... News of Daobry’s conviction will come as an embarrassment to Harry and Meghan who have campaigned to raise awareness on domestic violence through their Archewell Foundation... Daobry was married to Mrs Jay for two years before he strangled her. He later denied the assault but was found guilty after a trial.   During the hearing, Daobry claimed to have used a police-approved choke hold to stop Mrs Jay from taking an overdose of prescribed tablets at their home in the pretty Essex village of Thorpe-le-Soken.   But magistrates rejected his evidence 'entirely' and found him guilty of assault. The offence was serious enough that he could have been jailed but he was instead handed a 12-week suspended prison sentence."
Maybe intersectionality saved him, and those who point out his record are racist

Sylvia Jeffreys: Meghan Markle was in a 'threatening environment' at Windsor - "Today Extra host Sylvia Jeffreys has defended Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, saying it took courage for them to stand side by side with the Prince and Princess of Wales at Windsor Castle on Saturday despite hostility from the public and the press... Jeffreys said the 'negativity' being levelled against the Sussexes had made her physically ill... Royal commentator Tom Bower, whose biography of Meghan Markle was released earlier this year, on Wednesday claimed the Duke of Sussex was 'insisting' on the original release date of his memoir being honoured... Penguin Random House has not yet released a statement on whether the explosive release will be delayed in light of Queen Elizabeth's death."
These are the same people who go on about "white fragility"

Harry and Meghan are realising the Monarchy still calls the shots - "What we have witnessed since Queen Elizabeth II’s death is Harry and Meghan being offered a form of “half in, half out” royalty far from the cake-and-eat-it scenario they originally envisaged.  The news that the couple accidentally received an invitation to Sunday night’s “state reception of the century” at Buckingham Palace only to have it rescinded at the last minute shows that they may have a discretionary “in” when it comes to family occasions but where major events involving world leaders are concerned, they are well and truly “out”...   In denying them the opportunity to rub shoulders with the likes of Joe Biden, the US president, and Jacinda Adern, New Zealand’s prime minister, the palace powers-that-be have reasonably decided that there is a time and a place for Harry and Meghan – and it is not at the biggest diplomatic reception ever hosted by a monarch.  As a fellow non-working royal, the Duke of York is unsurprisingly not attending either.   Yet in withdrawing the offer to the Sussexes, the so-called men in grey suits may also have been mindful that the increasingly politicised nature of some of their recent interventions – from encouraging people to vote in America to the Duke’s comments on gun control – may not sit with the non-partisan nature of the gathering."

Ben Goldsmith claims Meghan Markle is a manipulative bully who got found out' - "Financier Ben Goldsmith claims Meghan Markle is disliked because she is a 'manipulative bully'.  Mr Goldsmith - who is the brother of minister Zac - made a number of allegations in a series of messages online in response to claims the Duchess was a victim of racism... 'At the start Meghan was adored. Crowds thronged the streets at the wedding. Meghan is disliked because she is a manipulative bully who got found out.  'Meghan has come to personify the arrival of America’s deranged culture wars in Britain. '... Allegations emerged 18 months ago following complaints by staff during a 'toxic period' before the couple emigrated in early 2020. 'Broken' royal aides told of feeling humiliated, 'sick', 'terrified', left 'shaking' with fear, and being reduced to tears.  Meghan was accused of having inflicted 'emotional cruelty' on her staff and 'drove them out'. One branded the Sussexes 'outrageous bullies'... Royal aides announced in March last year that they were launching an inquiry into claims that Meghan’s ‘belittling’ behaviour while a working member of the Royal Family drove two female personal assistants out of the household and ‘undermined the confidence’ of a third.  Staff were said to have been left in tears and feeling ‘traumatised’ – with some likening their condition to having post-traumatic stress... The allegations have always been strongly denied by the duchess, whose lawyers described them at the time as a ‘calculated smear campaign’. They did not respond to requests for comment yesterday."
So much for championing "mental health". Or, indeed, "believing victims" (except for Meghan and Harry)

'Narcissistic' Meghan Markle is 'very calculating', Lady Colin Campbell claims - "Meghan Markle and Rebekah Vardy are both 'women with no apparent talent' who 'think they know everything', Lady Colin Campbell has claimed.   Appearing on GB News today, the royal expert suggested the Duchess of Sussex, 40, who is currently living in her $14 million California mansion having stepped back from royal duty last year, is 'very committed to being self serving.'...  'Notice how dexterously she moved him from the royal family to California…she has clearly decided that she wasn't going to give her time or her energy to the British people or was serving humanity when she could serve her financial interests in a community property state, where in the event of a divorce she gets a whopping 50 per cent.'... 'If she gets something better, he will be toast. If she never finds anything better…that's the modus operandi of people who are very opportunistic, narcissistic and exploitative….  'I said in my book that I was told the royal family's great fear was that Harry would actually end up doing something rather dramatic and final.  'The people who know him very well, there was the fear that his passions would prevail over the limited amount of sense that he has. He's not the brightest star in the constellation.' On the couple's business deals, she said: 'I've been reliably informed that the figures that have been quoted were pie in the sky.  'Netflix and Spotify have not given them anywhere near the amount of money that they would like the world to [believe]…  'No, I think that she is in some ways on a very slippery slope, shades of Rebekah Vardy.  'You know, the chickens come home to roost when you are as artificial as these women are.'"

Reviews of Meghan Markle's first Archetypes podcast on Spotify with Serena Williams - "Meghan Markle's new Spotify podcast has been slammed by critics who said it was 'almost entirely preposterous' and 'just another way she can talk about herself'.  The Duchess of Sussex released her long-awaited Archetypes podcast yesterday in the form of a conversation with her close friend, tennis great Serena Williams.  But Celia Walden in the Telegraph said it was 'an interview with this inspirational sporting figure in name only', and that Meghan was 'interviewing herself'. She also said the Duchess was the sort of person 'who hijacks every distressing anecdote with one of their own – only theirs is longer drawn-out, more distressing'.  The Spectator's columnist Steerpike said it was 'hard to believe that it took 28 people, including eight executive producers, to make the episode - plus Meghan'.  The review added that tennis enthusiasts who listen to the podcast to hear from Williams 'might be a bit disappointed' because it 'is in fact all about Meghan'.  And James Marriott in The Times described it as a 'tastefully soundtracked parade of banalities, absurdities and self-aggrandising Californian platitudes'.  His one-star review said the podcast will 'make you feel you've been locked in the relaxation room of a wellness spa with an unusually self-involved yoga instructor'"

Meghan Markle’s ‘colossal mistake’ left palace staff ‘aghast’ - "Buckingham Palace staff was reportedly left “aghast” at Meghan Markle’s decision to launch a lawsuit against a UK tabloid.  Author Valentine Low claimed in his new book Courtiers, published on October 2022, that the Duchess of Sussex was advised against the copyright claim against The Mail.  The correspondent suggested Meghan "was determined to go ahead" and would ask: "Why is nobody listening to me?"  "Everyone else was equally determined to talk her out of it," Valentine wrote. "Then, when the couple spent time that summer with Elton John and David Furnish, the solution presented itself to them: get another lawyer.” “Schillings, a firm Elton had used before, had a reputation for being the most aggressive libel firm in Britain, as well as for charging eye-watering fees. Meghan dumped Harbottle & Lewis and was introduced to Schillings by Elton. She was on her way to court”... "None of them knew that the duchess was suing The Mail on Sunday until they were in South Africa. The team was aghast.  "They thought it was a colossal mistake, not least because it threatened to derail the rest of the tour. There was, however, very little they could do about it.""

Whoopi Goldberg Hits Back at Meghan Markle’s Claims of Objectification on ‘Deal or No Deal’ During ‘The View’: “What Did You Think You Were Going to Do?” - "Following the release of Meghan Markle’s latest podcast episode where she said she felt like she was being “reduced to this specific archetype” that was “all looks and little substance” during her brief stint as a suitcase girl on Deal or No Deal, Whoopi Goldberg hit back at the Duchess of Sussex with a different perspective... "When you’re a performer, you take the gig. Sometimes you’re in a bozo suit, sometimes you got a big nose, and this is just the way it is. We’re not journalists. We’re actors. We’re trying to get to another place.” Sunny Hostin jumped in to describe the “archetype” Markle was referring to as she pointed out that the show had “no big girls” and all they had were “little, skinny, tiny, pretty models.” However, Goldberg fired back, “But what did you think you were going to? That’s what the show was.”... “If you see it and that’s how you feel, just maybe you don’t want to make the other women feel bad because maybe they’re trying to make a living, too.”"
Racist! Misogynist!

Meghan Markle: British media call 'my children the N-word' - "Markle noted that she and Prince Harry did not have control of the @KensingtonRoyal Instagram account they initially shared with Prince William and Kate Middleton.  When the couple broke off to make their own social media handle, @sussexroyal, they chose not to play the “exchange game.”   Instead, Markle and the prince, 37, posted photos without first giving them to the Royal Rota."
More fodder for the credulous and those who don't understand the importance of branding and image management for such an old Firm

How Meghan Markle's appearance as a 'briefcase girl' on Deal or No Deal jump-started her career - "Gesturing to a photo of Meghan as a briefcase girl, Howie said, 'I saw that picture when she became the Duchess or when she got engaged.  'I saw that picture and they went, "She was a Deal or No Deal model," and I go, "Really? Really? What number?"   'I think she's just a young lady with a lot of baggage'... In his 2020 biography Meghan Misunderstood, royal author Sean Smith claimed that 'Briefcase Girls' were 'paid $800 (£606) per episode and sometimes there were up to seven episodes filmed per day.'  As a result, 'Briefcase Girls' could earn up to £4,240 in a single day if they were available to film every episode... Meghan claimed she had been branded 'crazy' and 'hysterical', saying such labels were used to silence women.  In her latest podcast, she said the insults could lead to people being 'gaslit' into thinking they were ill"
Given how much she tries to gaslight others, this is hilarious

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 'trying to create alternative woke royal family', says Angela Levin - "Royal biographer Angela Levin has claimed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are 'trying to create an alternative, woke royal family' with the 'grandeur and pomp that surrounds them'.  Ms Levin, a royal commentator and author of several biographies about senior members of the Royal Family, told FEMAIL that the Duchess of Sussex, 41, feels 'enormous bitterness' that she wasn’t able to 'modernise' the Firm... 'And I think Meghan, who doesn't like losing, she likes to win, feels enormous bitterness and resentment towards the Royal Family for not letting her modernize the Royal Family.'  The royal biographer continued: 'I may be wrong, I hope so, but the impression is that they don't want to be royals yet they're hanging on to their titles very, very tightly.   'When Meghan goes anywhere, she always uses her royal title. Now, why do that if you don't actually like the royal family and you wanted to get shot of them? 'So that's why I think there's a big plot and a plan to show how awful the [Royal Family] are. And I think that in Prince Harry's books, and in that terrible interview with Oprah Winfrey, was trying to smash the Royal Family and the monarchy down.'... 'And I don't know whether William would like to make amends with Harry. I think it's very difficult and certainly not before his memoir comes out because we don't know what he's going to say.   '[Harry's] been very unkind and cruel so far. We have to wait to see what he does and maybe they won't want to see them until all that's out in the open and they know what he says.'... 'I suppose one could go round with some flowers as a peace offering, but remember what happened last time,' referring to claims that Meghan threw flowers from Kate in the bin after a row over bridesmaids dresses before Harry and Meghan tied the knot in 2018."

Countess Commonwealth on Twitter - "If Meghan can so snidely mock meeting the late Queen for the first time, imagine what would have been said if she’d been allowed to travel to Balmoral on the Queen’s last day. #HarryandMeghanNetflix #HarryandMeghanonNetflix #AbolishTheSussexes"

Harry and Meghan: Does Netflix's documentary live up to the hype? - "If you watched the trailers and thought Harry & Meghan, Netflix's heavily-promoted new series, was going to be explosive, prepare to be disappointed.  Unless you are an individual member of the Royal Family, in which case, you might be opening the champagne - a drink, we learnt from this new show, that Harry doesn't usually enjoy.  To put it kindly, this is slow-burn television... Netflix has billed Harry & Meghan as an "unprecedented and in-depth documentary series".  But the programme, unsurprisingly, was heavily one-sided and selective. At one point, Meghan describes the media interview and photocall the couple gave when they got engaged as an "orchestrated reality show". Is that what Netflix's Harry & Meghan, produced in association with the couple's company, is?  Interestingly, they began recording video diaries in March 2020, as they stepped away from royal duties. That was many months before their Netflix deal was announced. This is their truth in the hands of the Netflix professionals, a slickly produced narrative about a couple who fell in love and had to sacrifice everything as they butted up against systems, protocols and racism.  The Royal Family - we are told at the start - didn't choose to make any comment for the programme makers. Both Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace confirmed they received an email purporting to be from a production company from an unknown organisation's address and attempted to verify its authenticity with Archewell Productions and Netflix, but did not receive a response... So what we have is carefully curated to back up the couple... These teasers frankly help along a narrative that gets a little repetitive at times.  The programme seems made primarily for an American audience. And Harry has embraced the language of the US West Coast... After the show and then Harry's book, Spare, is published in January, the couple's "truth" will be fully out there. Will that be enough for them?  Their currency might begin to wane as they struggle with the law of diminishing returns. They may still want to battle royal institutions and the media, but it may turn out that their real battle will be with ongoing relevancy."
Clearly they just want their privacy and everyone should respect them and leave them alone

Harry and Meghan's Netflix trailers criticised over 'misleading' clips - "Two trailers for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's new Netflix docuseries have been criticised for allegedly using footage and photos in misleading ways.  The trailers show archive clips and pictures as Prince Harry and Meghan talk about being sidelined by the Royal Family and hounded by the media.  However, it is thought at least three such images were taken from events that had nothing to do with the couple. Netflix and the Sussexes' production company Archewell have not commented.  There are further allegations that an image was cropped to suggest the couple were left on the edge of a royal event, when they were in fact front and centre.  There is also a suggestion that another photo has been used to illustrate press intrusion, when it was actually taken at an event with a small number of photographers whose attendance was controlled and agreed upon in advance."

Every bombshell dropped by the Sussexes – and why their timing is always impeccable - "If nothing else, you really have to admire the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s aptitude for timing. Just when one is needed, a precision, laser-guided PR bomb drops. An Exocet missile of melodrama, a lethal Molotov mocktail: subtle enough for the intention to be roundly denied by their spokespeople, but plain enough for the world to comprehend.   The latest is, of course, the release of two trailers for Harry & Meghan, and within them there's one frame in particular: at 25 seconds in the first, a still from the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey in 2019. Meghan, angelic in white and neutral in expression, sits behind the then Duchess of Cambridge, who is in the centre of the image looking like the Wicked Witch of the West...
October 2018.  A few months after their blockbuster wedding, the couple’s first overseas tour to Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand begins with the announcement they are expecting a baby. The happy news had been shared with the Queen and other members of the Royal Family at Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s wedding, and was then made public just as a new poll showed an increase in support for a republic in Australia.   The tour was a triumph, though it was later discovered that in the same month, a complaint was made claiming the Duchess drove two personal assistants out of the household, and was undermining the confidence of a third staff member. Prince Harry allegedly pleaded with Jason Knauf, the couple’s communications secretary at the time, not to pursue it.
October 2019. The first of a now seemingly annual bombshell trailer drop from the Sussexes, this time for ITV’s Harry & Meghan: An African Journey, which set in motion the events that eventually led to their departure from the working Royal Family.   Ostensibly meant to cover Harry’s charity work on the continent, following in his late mother’s footsteps, it also contained some marmalade-dropper soundbites...   Meghan, meanwhile, spoke for the first – but not last – time about how difficult she was finding the pressure of being a working royal. This was at the same time as the couple were launching legal action against the Mail on Sunday and Associated Newspapers over articles that reproduced a handwritten letter Meghan had sent her father.
January 2020. Via Instagram, the Sussexes announced their plans to “step back” from their life as working royals. At the time, the BBC said it understood that no other family member was consulted before the statement. Palace officials were “disappointed”, while senior royals were said to be “hurt” by the announcement... It later became clear that a key income stream over the next two years would stem from raking through the very act of leaving The Firm.
March 2021. The Sussexes’ self-extrication culminated in an earth-shattering 90-minute interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired while the Duke of Edinburgh was in hospital...
July 2021...  Just as the dust settled in a tumultuous year for the Queen, including the Oprah interview, the continuing scrutiny over Prince Andrew’s Jeffrey Epstein-adjacent shenanigans and the death of the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Harry announced he would publish – though not necessarily write – a “raw, unflinching” memoir with Penguin Random House... It will be called Spare, and is already discounted at WHSmith.
December 2022. And here we are. In the week that the Prince and Princess of Wales attempted to garner themselves some attention, the Duchess of Sussex’s podcast comes to an end and here come not one but two trailers for a “behind the scenes” Netflix documentary, with a telling still at its heart. The Waleses’ tour had been planned for at least six months. They managed to keep the Sussexes off the front pages for about 12 hours."

Harry and Meghan, a tawdry couple fuelled by hate and a need for publicity - "The Netflix series Harry & Meghan might better be described as The Great Betrayal. The “cast” are billed as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex which is appropriate since this is not a docu-series as advertised but two people playing a part. And what we are witnessing is the narcissistic, egotistical, privileged outpouring of a couple bent on revenge. Shamefully, Harry is quite happy to throw his brother, father, and even grandmother, the recently departed Queen, under a big, red, double-decker London bus.   Not since Princess Diana, Harry’s mother, gave her infamous interview in 1995, in which she explosively revealed: “There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded,” has someone tried to do so much deliberate damage to the Royal Family.  This is not Harry and Meghan revealing the quirks of a dysfunctional family. To believe this couple, the Royals are a bunch of lying, cunning, conniving, back-stabbing Machiavellian villains...   If he had any respect for her at all he would keep his mouth shut. But then there’s the Netflix series to advance, the Sussex’s media company, Archewell Productions, is listed as one of the show’s three producers. There is also a forthcoming book to push, and a podcast to advertise. Last year, the couple also did an interview with Oprah Winfrey. It’s almost as if they are promoting themselves to make money...  does it not seem odd that Harry was terrified of his screaming brother? Harry, after all, served ten years in the British Army, did two tours of Afghanistan and flew Apache helicopters. But a screaming brother is terrifying? The army must have kept him well cocooned and wrapped in cotton wool... their relentless desire to blacken the Royal Family and the Monarchy does them no credit. In the telling of their tale, they are revealed as lacking integrity and honour. There’s a bitter, angriness that drips from their lips.  They may hate the Royal institution and the people within it, but it is that hate which is making them money. And that’s a lousy way to get rich.  In the end, Harry and Meghan come across as sad, but worse, as so very, very tawdry."

BLIZZARD: What now for King Charles III and the Royals? | Toronto Sun - "Meghan, in her now infamous interview with Oprah, claimed her son Archie was not given an HRH designation or called a prince because of racism within the monarchy. More recently, she told the U.S. magazine, Cut, that her very presence within the family was viewed as a threat... In fact, Archie and their daughter, Lilibet, weren’t high enough in the royal pecking order for those titles in 2020. There were several titles their children were entitled use, but they chose not to use...   And do the Sussexes really want these titles for their children? If so, why? They’re living in that great egalitarian state of California, where personal pronouns tend not to include “prince” and “princess.” Oddly, after quitting the monarchy, Meghan’s angst makes it sound as though it mattered to her.  Then there’s the awkward matter of Harry’s impending book, due out this fall. After his grandmother’s death, will he still push forward with his laundry list of complaints? The monarchy took direct hits from H&M’s hurtful “truth bombs,” over the past two years. What’s left to complain about? Was the soup cold at Buckingham Palace one day?"

BBC Radio 4 - Best of Today, Prince Harry and Meghan: Oprah interview reaction - "‘Rachel made the point that the, but they aren't the facts. They're one version of the facts. And this is the unfortunate thing about giving an interview. I'd like to draw attention to something the Queen said, you quoted the Commonwealth day speech. She also said, this is a time like no other, in that speech. And I think when you think about the context in which we are, you know, here we are suffering from COVID. And the Queen and all other members of the royal family are doing their bit to help and encourage the people who are doing good things. Whereas the Sussexes are, haven't been in the country throughout COVID. And it does seem rather self absorbed and irrelevant to what's actually going on in this country.’
‘Rachel, is there not a charge that will be leveled by some against them of narcissism?’
‘I think that's a completely separate issue. It's a completely separate issue. I think to simply dismiss what she has said as narcissism is very short sighted. Racism exists, then, the facts in terms of Meghan's experience are exactly what she said. So you may not view it as a fact, because that's not your experience. That doesn't necessarily mean it's not true.’...
‘Do you think Charles that there is a case there and when you listen to Harry talking in the terms that he talked about being trapped and the other members being trapped, that there is a case for allowing them the freedom to be more private and the kind of, if there is going to be a reset? That's the direction it should go in?’
‘Well, yes, and that, of course, is what they've been allowed, because they've made an arrangement with, by comparison with the Queen's agreement about their future, but the trouble is, their idea of being private seems to involve talking in public all the time. So it's rather contradictory.’"
From March 2021. I wonder if all those who were defending the Sussexes still buy their snake oil

So many gullible people here. Then again, they all hate white people, so it's no surprise they are taken in

Meme - "Princes then

Prince Harry: 'I want my father and brother back' - "Prince Harry has said "I would like to get my father back, I would like to have my brother back," in a trailer for an interview ahead of the release of his autobiography... The prince also said he was "betrayed" in a trailer for US broadcaster CBS."
He's run out of material to sell, so he needs some new excuses to get dirt to spin

London pub launches new 'Harry's Bitter' beer that at 3.9% strength - "A pub in London appears to have commemorated the fallout of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Netflix documentary with a new on-tap beer.  The Duke of Sussex pub in Chiswick, west London is now offering 'Harry's Bitter' to customers.  The badge on the beer tap even features Prince Harry's face with a patriotic red white and blue colour scheme... One visitor to the Duke of Sussex pub noticed the new label, calling it a 'beautifully British riposte to Harry and Meghan's self-pitying Netflix show'.  He also pointed out that it was 'fittingly' only 3.9 per cent alcohol, saying it was 'as week as its namesake'... Over the first three episodes of the docu-series, Harry has accused the royals of having a 'huge level of unconscious bias' and colluding with media to 'destroy' Meghan. He has also as well as slighting his father and brother about their choices of bride.  Meghan claims she received little support from Buckingham Palace as a new royal bride, saying there were no etiquette classes and she was reduced to googling the national anthem. She also said she was too scared to wear colourful clothes in case she overshadowed the Queen.  Sources have dismissed this, saying she was guided by the late Queen's trusted deputy private secretary, Samantha Cohen, as well as her ladies-in-waiting. It is understood Meghan was also offered dozens of meetings with senior officials, but refused to take their advice"

Prince Harry says he left Britain with family 'fearing for our lives' - "Prince Harry has said he had made public his rifts with the Royal Family and taken on the press to try to help the monarchy and change the media, the latter described by his father, King Charles, as a "suicide mission."  In the first of a series of TV interviews, broadcast on Sunday ahead of the launch of his memoir, Harry accused members of his family of getting into bed with the devil — the tabloid press — to sully him and his wife, Meghan, to improve their own reputations... Harry's book, Spare, mistakenly went on sale in Spain five days before its official release, chronicling not only hugely personal details, such as how he lost his virginity and took illegal drugs, but more intimate private instances of family disharmony... Commentators say the book has plunged the monarchy into its biggest crisis since the days of the royal soap opera in the 1990s around the break-up of Charles's marriage to his late first wife, Princess Diana, the mother of William and Harry.  It all comes just four months after Queen Elizabeth died and Charles acceded to the throne... So far, there has been no comment from Buckingham Palace. Harry said he didn't think his father or brother would read his book.  An unnamed friend of William told the Sunday Times that the Prince of Wales was "burning" with anger, but would not respond "for the good of his family and the country." Harry told ITV he wanted reconciliation with his family members but said they had shown no interest, giving the impression it was better to keep him and Meghan as villains... Polls suggest many Britons are becoming bored of the whole royal melodrama, and further revelations are unlikely to shake their views, whether sympathetic to Harry and Meghan, or to those they criticize.  "I love my father. I love my brother. I love my family. I will always do. Nothing of what I've done in this book or otherwise has ever been to ... to harm them or hurt them," he said."

Smacking away the olive branch from Charles just reveals their gameplan. Liberals will believe him when he claims he wants reconciliation, because they believe you need "accountability"
