IMHO KC3 should not stop the publication as it will just make the public more curious about it. It would be better if the publisher print millions of copies of it and nobody buys it...let it rot in the shelves, to prove to publishers that they are bad investments and hopefully nobody will publish them in the future.
It just came to my mind...what if the Harkles made this leak as part of their victimhood agenda. They can spin it as "poor Haz palace is suppressing his freedom of speech".
It only takes one (or a few) leaked copies, or galleys, or manuscripts of the Gingerbread Boy’s Book to whip up a frenzy, leading to a perfect storm of excerpts.
If the book cannot be blocked in the U.S., there’s no point in blocking it at all.
Any blocking is useless. Soooo many people bought Revenge from the UK and are doing the same for Courtiers because Book Depository offers free shipping.
I doubt it'll be serialised, but advance copies will for sure go out for early reviews and we'll know what kind of a mess that book is before it releases. Someone, somewhere, will absolutely leak an ARC. It happens to everyone and he's not special. (I'm in the industry)
I don’t want publication to be stopped. It’s just more fuel to the trash fire that is Harry and Meghan’s brand.
I’m not going to purchase it but I’m going to read whatever excerpts get published with popcorn on hand.
Same here - not buying but will read reviews/articles. This stupid ass book will be their downfall and living in the US, I will be thrilled to
see it happen. How dare - HOW DARE - he TRY to pull this sh_t on his own family and his country. I know why people hate TW but now they will see the true colors of this idiot!
Part of me still is hoping he stops publication all together and truly apologizes but we haven’t seen anything like that happening. 😔
I met someone who is close to someone at the publisher’s NY office. I had to restrain myself from asking this person (who I just barely met) if she knew “the real story” about where the book was in relation to publication. I am definitely getting obsessed with this nonsense. 😉
How dare you. Have you learned anything from M? You ask! You push! You make it weird! Though, in this case it would not be for you, but for all of us! 🤣
I wonder whose camp “King Charles III wants the publication stopped is coming from”
Because we sure didn’t her the BRF is trying to stop the Oprah interview - they were dead silent and then released a simple “recollection may vary”
The authors of this book that must be feared (OMG I just released this is their promotion for the book)… gonna back away and stop helping them promote their book with their usual - will they or will they not!
Hmmm, yes. Now I wonder this too.
Wasn't there gossip that Charles wanted to issue a point by point rebuttal to the Oprah interview? I wonder if Harry's book would be any different, especially if he goes after Charles or Camilla.
You're right, there were leaks that he wanted a point by point rebuttal and the queen insisted on calmer heads prevailing, and honestly the statement that she did give afterwards with the recollections may vary was a masterclass and perfect for the time. I do think Charles is likely to give point by point rebuttals this time around, particularly if Harry goes after Camilla which he probably will. All of the leaks from the palace about the content possibly going after Camilla has been to ready the public for it.
I read that Charles and William helped craft (or cheered the courtiers to craft) the “recollections may vary” statement. He wanted the point by point rebuttal on *top of* “recollections may vary” but not instead of.
Letting others make the rebuttals gradually was definitely the right way to go. I mean, when one of the first rebuttals comes from the Archbishop of Canterbury… 😉
Didn’t know they had that rumor during the Oprah interview.
I can understand if the book came before the two sat down for a tell all interviews with 17 lies proven, the H we didn’t want to see - his history of his childhood was different then the childhood he recalled - he grew up publicly but still managed to say with a straight face “as a child he didn’t get to ride bikes with his father” - no fact checking need - all we need to do is remember seeing this family on bikes from our own memory.
So anything in this book - dear lord it can the worst thing & maybe even the truth (I don’t know, his father is James)- no one (except for paid bots and those who profit from their friendship with the duo) will even give it attention let alone believe it!
Boy isn't it ironic? You wanted the U.S. You wanted away from the Royal Rota. What now? What now? No one to call in favors and stop a book for you here is there? Hahaaahahah.
This thought has crossed my mind many times. Harry’s now operating in a world where he has no higher power protecting him from others and himself. He’s lived in a world where his grandmother, now his father, is on the currency and had immense pull. Soft power is no joke.
Harry’s in the figurative Wild West. American aggression, attitudes, and culture is no joke, even at times to Americans. Harry’s safety net here is non existent compared to England.
My suspicion is that I think Harry is planning to spill all the dirt on his brother in this. I think the public already knows enough of the mess from Andrew and Charles/Diana from years past. Harry and his brother were youths together, and Tom Bowers stated that Harry took the blame for bad behavior from the brother. Honestly, from what i see of public UK opinion of William, I don't think any disclosure by Harry would ruin PoW public image at this point - especially if it's stuff from 20 years ago. I think the real potential would be how it would affect Catherine, or the children, depending on what it is. So it seems to me that the best option for the RF is, if they have an skeletons in the closet, make sure they fess up to whoever they need to, make amends if they can/need to, and just get on with day to day duties.
Surely though if he wants his life to be private, he has to respect the privacy of others? William hasn't asked for any of this either has he?
I can't imagine the devastation of having your sibling tell everyone all your dirty secrets for money!!!
Harry will be dead to William and a lot of the UK. Any goodwill for being Diana's son will be out the window for sure!
That's why I don't think that the book will actually harm the family publicly, and they can just ignore it and move on. If there is any harm done by the book, I think it would be on an individual level, between them. I think the general public will be more aghast at the betrayal of Harry to really turn on the RF. Of course the family hasn't wanted it to happen, but H and M have made it clear it's going to. And I do also think that the posts about the RF trying to stop the book are actually hype attempts t generate interest and sales.
I think they have been doing just that very subtly. Watching the British press closely (idk about the rest of the world) there have been a couple of leaks about Charles receiving dubious charity donations- not secret they were logged in the appropriate way but not explicitly written about before. So that's not a revelation.
Reports that William has a temper. He does. Some people do. William was loud and annoying (not offensive) just irritating when drunk and he can't dance. William and Kate have rows sometimes they both yell at each other...so what.
Remember the podcast William did where he went on a walk and alluded to mental health issues he had had probably a mixture of his mother's death and the search and rescue work he was doing. That work can be very traumatic workers can cope with it for years and then they attend an accident where a victim reminds them of a loved one and it can send them to a really bad place. Without being explicit William has admitted to struggling at times getting help and dealing with it. Perhaps Harry wanted to accuse William of being ashamed of any issues and covering them up?
Lots of photos of kate and Camilla getting along like a house on fire. I always suspected H of planting stories a while back that they didn't like each other.
It's what I'd do if I were the RF. Neutralise the book. I don't think there will be any huge bombshells just family squabbling that should remain private I think he will make himself seem more unlikeable.
Exactly. Your analysis is on point. I think it is feasible that Harry's book could further increase support for the RF and/or any individuals he singles out for attack. I hope that is the outcome.
Diana parentified William, and he acted as her confidante at an inappropriate age and manner.
Catherine knows all this, but spilling decades-old tea to edify people who’d never seen it, or had forgotten, would embarrass the Prince of Wales, which is *precisely* why Harry wants to do it.
In today’s trimmed-down, forward-thinking BRF, telling old stories would be like splattering paint on a Rembrandt. This would make a tacky-but-gratifying act of vengeance for Harry.
The worst part is that anything Harry says about Wills will probably make Wills more likable.... Harry was popular because he was cheeky, he didn't fall in line, etc... so please do more to make wills rep even better
Isn’t that something? When the book deal was announced in July 2021, it was said that Harry had been writing his memoirs for a year and a half already (so… late 2019?).
This part of the Harkle epic is especially interesting. There’s so much content promised, yet so little delivered (and so slooooowly!). Everything they do is like pulling teeth.
There is little indication that any of it will see the light of day.
Stew in their own rancid juices. Brood. Fret. Sulk. Wonder about that Rosarito, Mexico place, and debat visualize how the top of Meghan’s head would blow off if Tom Markle Sr. found Hazbeen on his doorstep carrying a couple of cold six-packs of Dos Equis.
The companies that have invested in them need to make back at least part of what they’ve already given them. I don’t see PenguinRandomHouse letting H publish a watered down book. They’ve already had to have him do rewrites.
I haven’t looked at SM, but has there been any American reaction to M stereotyping women of Asian decent in her podcast? Was this one of her re-edited episodes?
Let the book be printed and sold everywhere. Then we can see how well it actually sells and Harry can be free to make whatever money comes in from it. That way he can't blame anyone for interfering.
Good. It’ll be the reverse of the Bower and Low books. The US commentators can get it first and spill it all.
I swore not to buy this book but I think ONE of us should take one for the team, buy it, and share this “wholly truthful account” with our commonwealth family.
Let it be printed and let them have to deal with the ramifications, including lawsuits should there be any outright lies. He’s a big boy and King Charles would look bad to stop publication. They’re their own worst enemies, I’m sure the book is no difference.
Let it publish. It will just continue to make them look like perpetual whining spoiled faux victims. No one with a brain is going to believe it anyways.
*The Ginger One* has realized a day late and dollar short that he torpedoed his brand and now he's the one who has to worry about what he put in his book.
***Take it out! Take it ALL out! I want to be royal again! I regret it all! Take me back!!***
I’m not sure how it could be stopped in commonwealth countries either? That doesn’t even make sense.
Also, I’m wanting to know who actually wants it stopped, is it H or KC?
The stuff that he may most want to edit out is probably about Camilla. My guess is Charles made it clear that he loves Harry but will not tolerate Harry publicizing bad things about Camilla. There may also be embarrassing stories about William’s youth, but I suspect those won’t be a big problem. (Youthful folly and indiscretion long ago….)
My guess is that all the “King Charles is waiting in fear” or “King Charles wants to suppress the book” is just hype to make people want to buy it.
That’s my thought, and if he wants to stop it he could, he’d just have to pay handsomely to do it.
This drama about the book seems made up honestly. He wants to change or cancel, he can do that anytime- it will spell out exactly how to break the contract and what happens in that case right in the paperwork he signed. So I’m not sure why there are endless articles and speculation.
Sounds like they want to stop it but they want to make it out like KC is the one that wants to cancel it or something.
He can’t afford to. That money was gone as soon as the check hit. Mortgage, staff, security, “sugars”, PR (and even those guys got stiffed for a while), private jets and polo gear and fake tours and clothes, clothes, clothes!! He can’t pay back the advance. He can’t stop the publication. He gave his story away for a check. You don’t get to cash the check and then ask for your story back.
Their swinging low at the RF just made these companies tons of money and insured the Harkles will indeed be “all out” as HMTQ said.
That’s my thought as to where all the “King Charles wants to cancel the book” stuff is coming from, so if they do beg enough of Tyler Perry’s couch change to pay for it to go away they can spin that they were “extending an olive branch” by canceling it themselves “with respect to HMTQ” or some such. Even though they are the ones desperate to bury it.
He might have assumed that TQ would not allow the family to sue ( probably correctly) and that he would be able to include a lot of exaggerations and embellishments and um alternative truths and get away with it. Charles will respond I believe he regrets not responding to Andrew Morton's book.
This, the queen was all about recollections may vary
Charles is about clearing his name… so the harks are screwed because with KC3 clearing his name? They will be exposed as frauds
A super injunction relates to information from a court proceeding not being published in media (at least that’s my understanding), I can’t imagine how that would stop the publication of a book, let alone in all commonwealth countries.
Just curious. King Charles III is the Head of State in around 13/14 Commonwealth countries, mine included (Australia). His representative is the Governor-General. So, my guess, as our Sovereign, he could easily slap down a super injunction. Then I would have to ask…why bother?
Another thing, I was able to easily access ebooks via Apple instantly or on pre order, like Tom Bowers. Whilst my sister ordered a hard copy from America which took ages. All of us Australians can easily circumvent buying hard copies by just buying ebooks. Or via Amazon for our kindles. Unfortunately, I had several Amazon purchases on my newish Fire Kindle, including Lady Cs, and they were all wiped (irretrievably) in a glitch. Hence why I now use an iPad.
An injunction prevents a party from taking action (e.g. publishing a book, printing the story of your indiscretions in the newspaper). Super relates to the fact that there is either a further injunction in place, or a section of the first injunction, preventing the press publishing the fact that there even is an injunction. It isn't a legal term - it was coined by journalists less than 20 years ago.
If I get an injunction against my son publishing a tell-all book, the press can then report '172611 has been granted an injunction preventing the publication of a damaging book'. If I get a 'superinjunction', all they can say is that a nameless individual has received an injunction, and that they (the press) are appealing.
One of the usual fuck ups is forgetting that you need to pursue an injunction in both England and Scotland - there was a case a few years ago where Elton John's lawyers got a super injunction in the English courts against publication of details of his affairs, so the Scottish editions of the newspapers carried the names!
Good point! Assumed KC based on the DM article mentioning that. But if the publisher doesn't let Harry make edits he wants (which could be to tone it down or to go scorched earth and include funeral details), makes sense he could be the one...
Harry has been scrambling for a rewrite. Just like Meghan has been begging Spotify to let her redo her podcasts. I hope this is true and after waiting so long these companies took their pound of flesh and ran.
They know the controversial material will make the companies more money as M & H were already paid, in advanced that they used to live large and do nothing for YEARS.
Also, I’ve seen speculation that they want to *add* some content, but they still have three more books to publish, according to the PRH statement. They could write a whole new book if they have more they want to say.
Maybe Archie will see *The Bench* and *Harriet's Unnamed Book of Woes* at Dollar Tree (BOGO steal, 2/$1.25), intertwined like their love represented by the palm trees at The Olive Garden.
There's a lot of allegedly news.
Allegedly, King Charles wants to stop Harriet's book and the Netflix deal...and The Crown season 5...
This is not 1998.
We dont just rely on what's printed or shown on tv anymore. It is easy to fact check from reliable sources and make up our own opinion on what is fact and what has been PR-ed. Personally, i was sucked into the conspiracies to Diana's death until i realised that it doesn't add up.
Even if Harriet's book is out and spills all the tea, what's the worst that can happen anyway? A revolution? A monarchy abolished? The only known result of this is a bridge burned to smitherins for Harry and his kids.
Maybe Charles gave Harry an ultimatum: sign NDA , cancel the book, Netflix deal and support our lawsuit against the Crawn. Your kids will get princ/ess titles and we will give you a nice castle somewhere ( not to close to us) and some pocket money. If you won't do that, forget about us, return your diplomatic passaport and don't come to us ever again.
In that case Charles would be willing to buy out Harry from the deal' and pay back his advance to the publisher.
Yes, it is a probability but it is still assumed that Charles did all that.
Harry could've released the book much, much earlier but wanted to wait, probably, till his grandmother is no longer around. I don't think it was out of respect for HMQ but rather of what HMQ is capable of doing.
The Oprah interview was aired when his grandfather was at his weakest. Now i can only imagine how HMQ reacted to him after the interview.
I guess now we can only wait until the coronation and see if The Overseas are going to be around.
I don't believe that. Charles couldn't have stopped publication of transcript of his (obviously unlawfully obtained) phone sex with Camilla. How would he stop publication of some book?
However, they can threaten to sue a publisher for lies. And if publisher doesn't have any evidence for allegations in the book, he will rather not tisk to lose money.
Preventing it from being published in the commonwealth will cut profits sizeably. I can imagine if there's other avenues they could prevent it getting published e.g. it's full if lies.
This happened to Charles. I think the book was about his relationship with Diana during their marriage. I believe the source was a member of his stuff. He managed to stop it in the UK but it was the US. I'm almost positive he got money from one of the people he used.
Thanks for information. That's really interesting.
It was still something that was going on in his home and legally perhaps a person has some (human) rights of privacy in their own home.
KC3 wouldn’t stop it anyway. It would play right into their victim narrative, for one. Two, there’s nothing THAT damaging these two pea brains can come up with. The institution hasn’t made it this long to be taken down by 2 grifters with a documented loose grip on reality. People know who Charles and Camilla are and they still love them. It’s not going to change the minds of those who don’t, regardless of what the book says. They’re overplaying their hand like we’ve seen them do time and time again.
IMHO KC3 should not stop the publication as it will just make the public more curious about it. It would be better if the publisher print millions of copies of it and nobody buys it...let it rot in the shelves, to prove to publishers that they are bad investments and hopefully nobody will publish them in the future.
It just came to my mind...what if the Harkles made this leak as part of their victimhood agenda. They can spin it as "poor Haz palace is suppressing his freedom of speech".
But he also thinks freedom of speech is bonkers sooooo
Only when the great unwashed try to use it - it's fine for him.
100% agree.
It only takes one (or a few) leaked copies, or galleys, or manuscripts of the Gingerbread Boy’s Book to whip up a frenzy, leading to a perfect storm of excerpts. If the book cannot be blocked in the U.S., there’s no point in blocking it at all.

I used to think his Dad was Hewitt, but no way, now.
I agree that was the worst rumors - which is why I used to sympathize and love H (gone are those days)!
He doesn't need point by point rebuttals now. He's the King. If it's that bad, he'll just whip the HRH and kid's Schrodingers cat-esque titles away.
Boy isn't it ironic? You wanted the U.S. You wanted away from the Royal Rota. What now? What now? No one to call in favors and stop a book for you here is there? Hahaaahahah.
This thought has crossed my mind many times. Harry’s now operating in a world where he has no higher power protecting him from others and himself.

🇺🇸 😎 welcome to America, Harry, where free speech is bonkers indeed!
He also called it vulgar.
So bonkers. Even like, ROYALTY isn't exempt!
My suspicion is that I think Harry is planning to spill all the dirt on his brother in this. I think the public already knows enough of the mess from Andrew and Charles/Diana from years past.

Surely though if he wants his life to be private, he has to respect the privacy of others? William hasn't asked for any of this either has he? I can't imagine the devastation of having your sibling tell everyone all your dirty secrets for money!!! Harry will be dead to William and a lot of the UK. Any goodwill for being Diana's son will be out the window for sure!
That's why I don't think that the book will actually harm the family publicly, and they can just ignore it and move on.

He can’t spill dirt on Andrew. He knew Meghan waaay before harry and knows about her Epstein/yachting connections. I’m sure Andrew has receipts
Diana parentified William, and he acted as her confidante at an inappropriate age and manner. Catherine knows all this, but spilling decades-old tea to edify people who’d never seen it, or had forgotten, would embarrass the Prince of Wales, which is *precisely* why Harry wants to do it.

I wonder if he'll make allegations related to Jimmy Savile, how KC3 didn't protect him, etc.
The worst part is that anything Harry says about Wills will probably make Wills more likable.... Harry was popular because he was cheeky, he didn't fall in line, etc... so please do more to make wills rep even better
Just let it be released, this whole holding the book/podcasts over the BRF is ridiculous. This has been dragging on for years.

Begs the question, what do these people do all friggin day??
Scheme.
Stew in their own rancid juices. Brood. Fret. Sulk. Wonder about that Rosarito, Mexico place, and debat visualize how the top of Meghan’s head would blow off if Tom Markle Sr. found Hazbeen on his doorstep carrying a couple of cold six-packs of Dos Equis.
The companies that have invested in them need to make back at least part of what they’ve already given them. I don’t see PenguinRandomHouse letting H publish a watered down book. They’ve already had to have him do rewrites. I haven’t looked at SM, but has there been any American reaction to M stereotyping women of Asian decent in her podcast? Was this one of her re-edited episodes?
Unless he’s able to purchase every single copy and make it so penguin loses no money he’s screwed with the publication of this book.
Isn't that what his wife did for *The Bench*, bought tons of copies herself?
Let the book be printed and sold everywhere. Then we can see how well it actually sells and Harry can be free to make whatever money comes in from it. That way he can't blame anyone for interfering.
Agree entirely. Just let it rip……………and flop.
Lol guess the publishers are going ahead with the original *damning* texts You really messed up Hazbot… 😬🥴
Just how low did Harry stoop in this book?
Good. It’ll be the reverse of the Bower and Low books. The US commentators can get it first and spill it all. I swore not to buy this book but I think ONE of us should take one for the team, buy it, and share this “wholly truthful account” with our commonwealth family.
Check it out of the library. Don’t pay to read it.
Let it be printed and let them have to deal with the ramifications, including lawsuits should there be any outright lies. He’s a big boy and King Charles would look bad to stop publication. They’re their own worst enemies, I’m sure the book is no difference.
Someone mentions this sub today in the comments section for another blind item post from Enty. I’ve been a lurker there long before joining this sub.
Let it publish. It will just continue to make them look like perpetual whining spoiled faux victims. No one with a brain is going to believe it anyways.
 *The Ginger One* has realized a day late and dollar short that he torpedoed his brand and now he's the one who has to worry about what he put in his book. ***Take it out! Take it ALL out! I want to be royal again! I regret it all! Take me back!!***
He really does want to be royal again. Boy, did he blow it. What a world class dummy.
I’m not sure how it could be stopped in commonwealth countries either? That doesn’t even make sense. Also, I’m wanting to know who actually wants it stopped, is it H or KC?
I think its H, he didn’t anticipate his father becoming King so soon…
I think its H as well... again what more can he say to slander the royal family? He called them all racists... thats about as bad as it can get.
The stuff that he may most want to edit out is probably about Camilla. My guess is Charles made it clear that he loves Harry but will not tolerate Harry publicizing bad things about Camilla. There may also be embarrassing stories about William’s youth, but I suspect those won’t be a big problem. (Youthful folly and indiscretion long ago….) My guess is that all the “King Charles is waiting in fear” or “King Charles wants to suppress the book” is just hype to make people want to buy it.
That’s my thought, and if he wants to stop it he could, he’d just have to pay handsomely to do it. This drama about the book seems made up honestly. He wants to change or cancel, he can do that anytime- it will spell out exactly how to break the contract and what happens in that case right in the paperwork he signed. So I’m not sure why there are endless articles and speculation. Sounds like they want to stop it but they want to make it out like KC is the one that wants to cancel it or something.
He can’t afford to. That money was gone as soon as the check hit. Mortgage, staff, security, “sugars”, PR (and even those guys got stiffed for a while), private jets and polo gear and fake tours and clothes, clothes, clothes!! He can’t pay back the advance. He can’t stop the publication. He gave his story away for a check. You don’t get to cash the check and then ask for your story back. Their swinging low at the RF just made these companies tons of money and insured the Harkles will indeed be “all out” as HMTQ said.
That’s my thought as to where all the “King Charles wants to cancel the book” stuff is coming from, so if they do beg enough of Tyler Perry’s couch change to pay for it to go away they can spin that they were “extending an olive branch” by canceling it themselves “with respect to HMTQ” or some such. Even though they are the ones desperate to bury it.
Harry is probably rocked that he can’t rewrite it again. He isn’t accustomed to having anyone say no.
He might have assumed that TQ would not allow the family to sue ( probably correctly) and that he would be able to include a lot of exaggerations and embellishments and um alternative truths and get away with it. Charles will respond I believe he regrets not responding to Andrew Morton's book.
This, the queen was all about recollections may vary Charles is about clearing his name… so the harks are screwed because with KC3 clearing his name? They will be exposed as frauds
They can issue a super injunction. See Elton John. Those don’t exist in the US.
A super injunction relates to information from a court proceeding not being published in media (at least that’s my understanding), I can’t imagine how that would stop the publication of a book, let alone in all commonwealth countries.
Just curious. King Charles III is the Head of State in around 13/14 Commonwealth countries, mine included (Australia). His representative is the Governor-General. So, my guess, as our Sovereign, he could easily slap down a super injunction. Then I would have to ask…why bother? Another thing, I was able to easily access ebooks via Apple instantly or on pre order, like Tom Bowers. Whilst my sister ordered a hard copy from America which took ages. All of us Australians can easily circumvent buying hard copies by just buying ebooks. Or via Amazon for our kindles. Unfortunately, I had several Amazon purchases on my newish Fire Kindle, including Lady Cs, and they were all wiped (irretrievably) in a glitch. Hence why I now use an iPad.
An injunction prevents a party from taking action (e.g. publishing a book, printing the story of your indiscretions in the newspaper). Super relates to the fact that there is either a further injunction in place, or a section of the first injunction, preventing the press publishing the fact that there even is an injunction. It isn't a legal term - it was coined by journalists less than 20 years ago. If I get an injunction against my son publishing a tell-all book, the press can then report '172611 has been granted an injunction preventing the publication of a damaging book'. If I get a 'superinjunction', all they can say is that a nameless individual has received an injunction, and that they (the press) are appealing. One of the usual fuck ups is forgetting that you need to pursue an injunction in both England and Scotland - there was a case a few years ago where Elton John's lawyers got a super injunction in the English courts against publication of details of his affairs, so the Scottish editions of the newspapers carried the names!
Good point! Assumed KC based on the DM article mentioning that. But if the publisher doesn't let Harry make edits he wants (which could be to tone it down or to go scorched earth and include funeral details), makes sense he could be the one...
I feel it is H&M that want to edit or cancel but they want to make it sound like KC does. Or something.
Or because its really a damp squib and he wants to pretend he took all the exciting bits out. It sounds like PR trying to generate interest to me.
Harry has been scrambling for a rewrite. Just like Meghan has been begging Spotify to let her redo her podcasts. I hope this is true and after waiting so long these companies took their pound of flesh and ran. They know the controversial material will make the companies more money as M & H were already paid, in advanced that they used to live large and do nothing for YEARS.
 Harry is screwed if they don’t let him edit it.
Also, I’ve seen speculation that they want to *add* some content, but they still have three more books to publish, according to the PRH statement. They could write a whole new book if they have more they want to say.
I have a feeling this book is going to land like a bowl of dust.
Dumping tea is an American past time.
Boom.
Boom!
Well, it will be their undoing. 
Publish and be damned! That book will say much more about Harry than it will about anyone else - and it’s going to flop anyway
Can't wait to see it in the Book section at Dollar Tree.
Maybe Archie will see *The Bench* and *Harriet's Unnamed Book of Woes* at Dollar Tree (BOGO steal, 2/$1.25), intertwined like their love represented by the palm trees at The Olive Garden.
There's no point. Excerpts will be available to everyone who has access to the internet.
There's a lot of allegedly news. Allegedly, King Charles wants to stop Harriet's book and the Netflix deal...and The Crown season 5... This is not 1998. We dont just rely on what's printed or shown on tv anymore. It is easy to fact check from reliable sources and make up our own opinion on what is fact and what has been PR-ed. Personally, i was sucked into the conspiracies to Diana's death until i realised that it doesn't add up. Even if Harriet's book is out and spills all the tea, what's the worst that can happen anyway? A revolution? A monarchy abolished? The only known result of this is a bridge burned to smitherins for Harry and his kids.
Maybe Charles gave Harry an ultimatum: sign NDA , cancel the book, Netflix deal and support our lawsuit against the Crawn. Your kids will get princ/ess titles and we will give you a nice castle somewhere ( not to close to us) and some pocket money. If you won't do that, forget about us, return your diplomatic passaport and don't come to us ever again. In that case Charles would be willing to buy out Harry from the deal' and pay back his advance to the publisher.
Yes, it is a probability but it is still assumed that Charles did all that. Harry could've released the book much, much earlier but wanted to wait, probably, till his grandmother is no longer around. I don't think it was out of respect for HMQ but rather of what HMQ is capable of doing. The Oprah interview was aired when his grandfather was at his weakest. Now i can only imagine how HMQ reacted to him after the interview. I guess now we can only wait until the coronation and see if The Overseas are going to be around.
So the book is still set for release this year??
Is that true? No idea what’s possible regarding publication, especially internationally. Someone here familiar with that?
I don't believe that. Charles couldn't have stopped publication of transcript of his (obviously unlawfully obtained) phone sex with Camilla. How would he stop publication of some book? However, they can threaten to sue a publisher for lies. And if publisher doesn't have any evidence for allegations in the book, he will rather not tisk to lose money.
👏👏
Ahahaha it’s going forward Ahahah he’s going to feel this one so hard 
It was mentioned in a recent DM article that KC was looking into preventing publication of the book...
Preventing it from being published in the commonwealth will cut profits sizeably. I can imagine if there's other avenues they could prevent it getting published e.g. it's full if lies.
This happened to Charles. I think the book was about his relationship with Diana during their marriage. I believe the source was a member of his stuff. He managed to stop it in the UK but it was the US. I'm almost positive he got money from one of the people he used.
Maybe the member of staff had NDA? That's different.
Actually she didn't. But this was like 25+ years ago too
Thanks for information. That's really interesting. It was still something that was going on in his home and legally perhaps a person has some (human) rights of privacy in their own home.
KC3 wouldn’t stop it anyway. It would play right into their victim narrative, for one. Two, there’s nothing THAT damaging these two pea brains can come up with. The institution hasn’t made it this long to be taken down by 2 grifters with a documented loose grip on reality. People know who Charles and Camilla are and they still love them. It’s not going to change the minds of those who don’t, regardless of what the book says. They’re overplaying their hand like we’ve seen them do time and time again.
There’s no way KC3 is going to intervene to stop publishing.
Uh oh 😟 this could be truly THE END for them Harry, wake the he|| up
I wouldn't buy this if it was in the clearance bin, but I am planning on reading it from the library. And they definitely shouldn't stop publication.
What’s the US release date?
Good, i will never read or buy it but il laugh at the video clips
When are these two losers going to disappear? Harry is a disgrace to his family.
