Lots of publicity but will there be sales? Who would buy it?

You’re kidding, right? Instant NYT bestseller.

Yes instant best seller, like The Bench and the number 1 Podcast. Some people are gullible.

People can’t help but watch a train wreck. The book will be a best seller because this drama is golden. However, Harry is quickly losing what little respect and pity he has left and the gravy train will soon come to an end. If he and Megs couldn’t stand the British press, I don’t know how they’re going to manage the negative reactions to all the stories in this book. They won’t be able to claim these stories are untrue and were unfairly leaked by his family!

Only a complete idiot could think he could talk about his kill number, frostbitten penis and squabbles over lipgloss and come out unscathed. These two are going to blow through the money they’ve made and end up just like Edward and Wallis, only more of a laughingstock.

The RF sycophants on here are hilarious as well as ignorant of all of the things that family has done that are self-serving, racist, hateful, vindictive to members of their own family. It's laughable, actually. H and M's treatment fits that pattern and is why I believe it. Good for them for giving them the middle finger.

Same. I think a lot of people aren't royal watchers aside from "let's see the wedding dress" are hearing the most recent stuff and think Harry's the good guy.

Royal watchers aren't normal and have to accept that the majority of people aren't enthralled by these people the way they are.

The majority of people I have seen online are like me - not royal family watchers or supporters at all but we started seeing Harry and meghan headlines everywhere = both promoting their stuff and reporting on their stuff and started reading and listening to things. I am sure there are a few ardent RF supporters who don't think the RF can do any wrong but I dont give a fig about the RF and Harry comes across as an immature and petty man. I don't really care about Harry and Meghan either but content on them is being shoved in our faces online 24/7. They are digging their own graves.

Not really. They are online 24/7 right now but give it a week and something else will be there. I don't know these people and they are like any other thing in the media, don't like them, don't care, then click elsewhere, read elsewhere, watch elsewhere. It only takes a second to change over to something else and never see them again.

I can't help but feel secondhand embarrassment for their decisions. I wonder if they just laid low for the next few months...no media interviews, no book releases or social media or podcast or awards ceremony...maybe they could wipe the slate clean a bit? Show up to the coronation with little pomp and circumstance or releases on what she is wearing or what their travel plans are.

Signed,
Not a PR expert

I think after this drama, people would be even more interested in watching them at coronation. Its a vulgar reality show. They are doing better than Kardashians.

They were laying low and still posted nasty things about meghan after the Queen's death accusing her of being demanding and all other sorts of drama when she wasnt even there. They make a lot of money with articles about how terrible of a person Meghan is and this will never, ever change. Harry even stated that their of their own press offices will greenlight bad articles about other family members. How/why is this even allowed to happen? Oddly, the american press has no such stories of Meghan being a horrible human either before Harry or now?

There are stories about her being a diva before Harry. They weren’t worldwide news because no one knew who she was.

Was she being a diva out of her rented, 1 bedroom, garden level Toronto apartment?

Wait, I thought she was a rich, famous, successful actress when she married Harry? The Meghan defenders can’t keep their stories straight.

In any case, yes, there have been stories from people who worked with her in Toronto.

Jean Malek who directed the Canadian clothing commercial Meghan did in 2016 posted on Facebook "She's definitely the meanest person I've met in my life. Just sayin."

Anyone who says “just sayin” is an imbecile, so maybe take her opinion with a grain of salt.

This type of critical thinking will always serve you. Well done!

Definitely not ghost written. It’s so bad it has to be Harry’s.

You haven’t read the book yet.

+1. PP hasn’t read it as it’s not out yet but KNOWS by his extra special intelligence that it’s bad. And a quick google would have told you that Harry has a high profile ghost writer on this project.

I bet the ghost writer is now wishing he could disappear like an actual ghost. 😂

That ghostwriter is liking tweets clowning price harry now. I doubt he stuck around until the end of this project and probably regrets ever being associated with these clowns.

That’s funny. Must be his way of publicly distancing himself, since it is in fact quite an embarrassment (judging from the excerpts).

This book will sell, however Harry is a global joke at this point so I hope they save their money.

+1 it will sell like crazy and they will make a ton of $$3

But media opinion will shift -- already far less sympathetic in the US than the fawning coverage after Oprah "interview"

We haven’t heard any rebuttals from the Sussexes.

2) Meghan was never cut out to be an obedient princess. She was/is a nice but ambitious and hard working woman with a vision of what she wants out of life, a clear feeling about what she believes is wrong and right, and an unwillingness to compromise herself entirely for anything or anyone. And in the end, this clashed with the institution and doomed her. She was never going to not fight back. And if you admire that quality overall you support her, and if you think she should have been thanking the gods for landing her a prince and keeping her mouth shut as she enjoyed the trappings of the royal life than you hate her.

Meghan thought that the whole institution of the BRF should be bent to suit her because she's so special. And when it didn't, she cried. She was fighting back against what she perceived as slights, but is in fact just reality: you, Meghan, are NOT as important as Kate, because hierarchy. And this hierarchy will not change based on how fabulous or glamorous or popular you are. That's why they get priceless art and you get IKEA. Both of you live in places you do not own and never will.

I mean I think your read is incredibly oversimplified and reduces her to a caricature of a human being. I think any American introduced so abruptly into the institution would struggle greatly. Kate spend YEARS going through royal training while dating and breaking up with Will to be able to tolerate all the indignities with grace and a smile. She was literally being groomed since childhood for it. All of the british royals are, and they're all pretty screwed up!

Meghan had a difficult time with it but the real difference between her and the rest of them is that she just hadn't been taught to suppress it, smile and not talk about it or show it in any way shape or form no matter what anyone does or says to you. And I say that with EMPATHY for Kate Middleton and Diana Spencer and Camilla and Fergie and Beatrice and Eugenie and Margaret and Anne. It is a brutal world, gilded, but brutal.

But Meghan HAD been offered advice and mentorship on the Windsor way, and she declined. It's not like she was thrown into it headfirst, she chose to dive in despite warnings. Don't you think it's a special kind of arrogance to think you already know all there is to be known, and you know better?

She was thrown in headfirst! This happened over months! Kate went through literal YEARS of blowups, trainings, retreats, breakups, reconciliations, more blowups etc before she was married in. Acting like something that took Kate YEARS to learn was something she could fully understand after a few months, with a MUCH larger press spotlight (Kate went through this before the 24/7 news cycle) is just unfair.

The 24/7 news cycle started in the mid-80s, when Kate was a pre-schooler. And the press spotlight was way bigger on someone who could be the queen one day than on someone marrying the fifth or sixth in line for the throne.

Lol. Do you really think the Brits don’t care about a divorced black American marrying into their royal family? The spotlight has been way way bigger on Meg than Kate. I won’t even mention the personal vendetta some British media personalities have against Meg.

I thought she was biracial? Her dad's entire family is white.

Sure. Just day that's your wish and you'll come across as less idiotic .

I doubt 99% of people posting here have any intention of buying it to support someone's fancy lifestyle. You can help an actual homeless eat a meal with that money.

Buying a memoir = supporting someone's fancy lifestyle . I'm loving the desperation . Too late .

What a tragic end for Harry, I can’t see anyone wanting to keep his company.

It's appalling, I simply can't get over how vicious and petty the details are. Daily Mail has excerpts of the Kate vs. Meghan anecdotes, and they are mind-glowingly stupid. Anger about hugs, lip gloss, children's tights and requests not to be too informal prematurely? I mean wtf.

Amazing how this is mostly coming from the Sussexes, and Meghan really does not come across well at all. Arrogant, abrasive, presumptuous, and definitely jealous.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11606199/Inside-Meghan-Kates-long-standing-feud-fallings-drove-apart.html

It is mostly incredibly stupid and small, but do we think it's true Meghan paid for the Sussex's Ikea furniture vs. the Wales's lap-of-luxury decor? Very strange!

Meghan had a $1M wardrobe during her 18 months of service so I doubt it. They spent $4M renovating Frogmore and included a personal yoga room and floating floor and she had the designer of SOHO house do the interior decor.

That was not a part of the renovation, and it was 3.2 million, and they repaid it. And maybe that all seems nitpicky but it shows how people change and frame these stories to make her look comically awful.

They didn’t repay the renovation until after they decided to break away from the Firm.

If they were given a 3+ million renovation, then I’m sure they made choices about how that money was spent which necessitated frugality in other parts of the house. I expect the public rooms were lovely and had high-end finishes. Maybe the private rims had temporary furniture, destined to be replaced in ten years.

Ok back to the book….

I don’t like the couple but I will listen to the audiobook. I suspect all the interesting parts will have already been leaked but there will be some more boring nuggets that may make the couple a tiny more likeable.

I wonder if they will cover their philanthropic work or interests? Id be interested to hear what he actually believes.I don’t buy the whole “I’m a male feminist” or “I’m an anti racist” stuff but I’m sure there’s things he’s actually passionate about (Africa, veterans).

His love of Africa and the entirety of Invictus was set up for him by his former communications chief - not Knauf but Fox, who left the role effective the date of his marriage. I don’t think there’s a lot of there with either Harry or Meghan with charity. Their tax filings for the company - I don’t know if foundation is accurate, since it produces minor social media hits and little else. They had $50,000 total to distribute last tax year.

Africa is a continent made up of 54 countries. Shocking as it may sound to YOU, not every country is in urgent need of some sort of humanitarian aid and, even if it were the case, he's not in a financial nor institutional position to do anything about it . Those who have the means to finance their philanthropic endeavors in *certain African countries * have already been doing so for decades. See the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. There's just something appalingly ignorant with statements such as : 'he's passionate about Africa' .
