@LadyMuck I did the BookWorm you asked about, it's on P. 41 last thread, but you've maybe not seen it as you always acknowledge them?
Why would Harry not want the press at the Lindo Wing? It was nothing to do with him and his presence was not required? Do you know?
As
@TheCutiePatootie says, the Harkles didn't have any children when Harry spoke to Thomas Markle, so the conversation doesn't make sense.
On 11th May, how did Harry know about the photos, asking Thomas if he'd "co-operated with the press?" The photos weren't published until 13th May, two days later.
I think the Ho paid Rayner the money in advance, and Harry knew the photos had been taken when he phoned TM on 11th May because they had arranged it all to trap Thomas.
I think Sarah Vine's mistaken about the Coronation focus not being enough on C&C. We're largely Monarchist supporters in the UK, the RF has been rocked by scandals with more to come, and C&C are visibly frail and look unwell. It was important to show a positive future for the Monarchy and this the Cambridges and their children did brilliantly. If they stole the show Charles will see it as a small price to pay for a clear vision going forward which we badly need. William will do things differently, and people already sense it.
