[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't quite get the argument that everything that has been in the press that isn't positive was made up by the press.

Sure trash tabloids make things up. But in the says after the Spanish book release, there were countless journalists who actually had their hands on copies of the book  and reported similar stories.  It would have had to be a massive coordinated effort for all journalists during that time period to agree and come up with all the fake stories and fake quotes. Jounralists like a scoop, why would they agree to wait until other agencies created a fake story when they had a copy of the book?

For example, the conversation between Kate and Meghan about the dresses. If that was just made up by the press and wasn't in the book, there would have been some journos refuse to pretend to read a fake story from the book just to stick to the party line. There just isn't that kind of mass collaboration and camaraderie across all press sources for it all to have been an orchestrated fake campaign. [/quote]

Part of the issue after the Spanish version released early was that journalists were sticking passages into translation apps and then reporting the translations as accurate, when in fact they mischaracterized the book in certain respects.  It doesn’t take a lot of mistranslation to totally change the tone of an anecdote. [/quote]

The stories I saw were about

Harry losing his virginity

Harry being pushed onto a dog food bowl by his brother

Harry talking to his dad to get him to not marry Camilla

Harry getting mad William  didn't come away with him before his wedding and a story about his penis freezing before William's wedding

Stories of Meghan wearing jeans and to being hugged by Kate, a conversation between Kate and Meghan about flowergirl dresses, and  William and Kate being awed by Meghan being in Suits

Harry now having found Meghan on instagram and started dating that way and Meghan knowing nothing about the RF

Harry talking about Meghan being magical and him swimming with seals.

William and Kate laughing / supporting the Nazi outfit

Harry killing 25 Taliban

I have a hard time believing that none of that was actually in the book and that it was all made up by journalists.  I haven't read the book but the BBC and reuters and others were commenting on these stories so when people on here say it was all lies and if you read he book you would know that none of that is even in it...I find that hard to believe.

You can’t understand why an approximately 14 yo Harry and 16 yo Williams might not have wanted their father to marry his mistress less than two years after their mother’s death given how much a marriage would stir up the media rehashing Charles and Diana’s marriage and Diana’s death?  The boys gave their blessing to the relationship, they just asked not to bring the media onslaught of a wedding upon them.[/quote]

He is their father but he is also an adult, he once sacrificed his wishes for how mom and his royal career, it failed horribly. Why would he let two teens decide if he can marry or not?[/quote]

Charles was entitled to make his own decision, and he did.  His children were entitled to their own feelings about it.  You’re really going to fault grieving teenagers for not wanting to Sun next themselves to a brutal media campaign?  That shows a striking absence of empathy and compassion for understandable human emotions. [/quote]
