Thank you for this TLLK, better than the iBooks sample as it includes chapter four. Will have to get reading.

They look to be behind the paywall again Queen Claude. Apple iBooks have a free sample of the first three chapters and preface, though these cover the Duchess’s early years, which for me are of less interest. I’m not technical and don’t know if you need an Apple device, (my tablet is Apple so...

Wonderful yukari … thanks for being able to share these. A good taste of the coming book I think.

Yes, I was a little taken aback when the book title first became known MARG … especially as the author already had another book called “Sweet Revenge”, (about Simon Cowell). Mr Bower says he is a Royalist, but I personally think the title refers to the seeking of revenge by the Duchess on all...

Some of the “norms” of the British social elite have shocked me MARG … for example in “Lady in Waiting” by Lady Glenconner about her aristocratic life. I guess I would take the lie of the land and try not to be judgemental in a situation so different from my previous experiences, keep my own...

Yes, Vogue was another fraught scenario FigTree … I posted a bit about it in #3 post above. Mr Enninful was so hopeful at the beginning of that collaboration before things went south. Poor Sara Latham. Agree regarding Harry’s friends, everyone was an adult, just live and let live. No-one was...

I wasn’t up on Harry or his life at the time all that happened Moonmaiden23. I probably caught the Sussex “bug” around the time of the wedding and that carried through until I got a better understanding of why they left the UK. I was interested in their move to Los Angeles and then Montecito …...

The Duke and Duchess had wanted to appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony during The Queen's Jubilee, but Prince Charles now saw the couple as private citizens and so they were not there or part of the carriage procession. A legal constraint was imposed on the couple's Sussex Royal...

Despite how it seemed from the outside during their tour of Australia ... and I live only a few streets away from where they were staying at Admiralty House and they drove past me one morning near Milson Point train station as I was cutting through the concourse on my way to a hairdresser on...

A big part of Meghan's history is that her letters to both Proctor and Gamble, and Mrs Clinton, were answered. It seems this is not the case - any response young Meghan recieved was "invented" by her father wanting to be loving and encouraging to her. (In later years Meghan had hoped the...

Harry and Meghan’s worlds clashed. Meghan challenged Harry’s friends for their non-politically correct jokes, banter and conversations during the Sandringham weekend shoot he arranged as a way to introduce her to his circle. Even parents of his friends who also attended the wedding in Jamaica...

The editor of British Vogue, Edward Enninful, arranged a team of staff to create a September issue that was to never be published, as a cover for the actual issue he and thirteen other staff worked on with the Duchess. Meghan wanted to leak some "news" about her issue to build interest ...

Something that made me smile and perhaps showed the cultural differences/misunderstandings between the US and the UK - When Meghan was upset, (described as "hysterical"), at the Vanity Fair cover feature about her, the head of her PR agency Ken Sunshine rang the magazine's features editor...

"Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors" The hardback edition is available in a few days and the paperback version will be released on the 2nd of August. (Also Kindle and Audio versions being released.) I have only read the extracts from The Times - which I won't link as they...

Get dressed up, go to Versailles, have fun ... The Fetes Galantes was again recently held at the Chateau of Versailles. If you have instagram, there are absolutely wonderful photos and videos being shared under the #fetesgalantes2022 hashtag. Stunning costumes, courtly dances and games...

:previous: Brilliant RandyDrx, hadn’t seen that before, thank you … gave me a good laugh.

The Australian TV presenters thought that it wasn’t William in the video … based on their assumption he and his family wouldn’t be without protection officers. Deep fake is when video is manipulated very realistically with modern technology … taking someone’s face, voice or body and creating...

I found it quite upsetting to watch SirGyamfi1, I was a bit shocked by it. One of the Australian TV shows that reported on it, also played the actual footage. They took the line it may be a “deep fake” as the Cambridges didn’t seem to have security with them. Seeing William phone for someone...

It’s been a while … the last Australian summer ... with Oz and Danish friends. (Christian coming to Amber’s rescue after her mishap with her swimsuit in the surf while Mary laughed her head off and the photographers snapped away.) Maybe they can do it all again soon...

The original YouTube video is no longer public … after four days and twenty thousand views. There are mainstream media reports that the Royal Family wanted YouTube to take it down, citing privacy issues. It is also being reported that parts of the footage are circulating on Tik Tok. And there...

An extremely ... extremely ... upset Prince William. Link to a recently posted youtube ... also saying the full video will be uploaded soon. (Actually filmed in January 2021.) There is a written introduction to the situation at the beginning and the actual footage begins around the 1.25 mark...

A nice - and long - video of North Island in the Seychelles. And an article saying William and Kate spent their honeymoon in villa number four ... so you know which one to ask for if you ever go there! :lol...

"Tarrystone Manor" in South Africa is back on the market. Here's a link from when it was up for sale previously - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2788167/seven-cottages-two-vineyards-suite-used-princess-diana-estate-belonged-earl-spencer-goes-sale-4-8-million.html The suite Diana...

Funny how Josh O'Connor was recently in "The Durrells" which used The Duke of Edinburgh's real-life birthplace - Mon Repos palace on Corfu - for some scenes, and now he's playing Philip's son Charles in this. Not a big world sometimes.
