Prince Louis' birth had nothing to do with him, so I wonder that too. In the same way, he keeps bringing up Kate's struggles with the press when trying to argue his OWN case. He actually doesn't have enough ammo against them, Prince William and Kate were the most targeted so he uses them to strengthen his argument.
Regarding this, they said the DM contacted them first asking whether Thomas Markle had staged the pics. Which gave them time to confront him and ask if he did so they could make a deal and make it go away. He denied it and they ignored the DM, which then published the proof that it was all staged. Marking the start of the drama.
So yes it is possible that they knew about the pictures on the 11th before they were published.
But I do agree with you, partly. Personally, I think Harry didn't know. I think Peg and her people arranged it. Did Samantha ever admit it was actually her idea? Or did she just say she wasn't opposed to it?
I agree with you 100%. There were people opposed to the queen televising her Coronation. Now it's the norm and actually praised.
Will and Kate will be fine.
I hope they do the same for various charities. Because at the end of the day, their job should be the focus.
Thank you for answering all my questions so thoroughly
, much appreciated.
On this bit
".....they said the DM contacted them first asking whether Thomas Markle had staged the pics. Which gave them time to confront him and ask if he did so they could make a deal and make it go away.

In the above version they are totally innocent, trying to help Thomas out of his silly predicament of a pap trap. I don't think this is true (not you, them). Confront him? They are lying. They didn't want to "make a deal and make it go away". They set the whole thing up in the first place to make sure Thomas didn't / couldn't go to the wedding, and making the photos "go away" was the last thing they wanted. They wanted them published and made sure they were.
Thomas was shamed from the photos, but had a double whammy of a heart attack. It was a very clever trap and worked brilliantly. So well that TM will never recover either his dignity or his health, and they'll always have over him the text that the Judge refused to read in Court because it was too vile, the text from Harry to TM while he was in hospital.
I could be guessing here but this has put paid to TM suing Jeff Rayner for publishing photos without his consent. Just as it put paid to TM telling his side of the story in Court about the (imaginary) five friends leaking the Letter, put paid to everything and he's trussed up like a turkey. It might even have put paid to Sam.
His best bet would be to put her from his mind, enjoy the children who love him and try to get better.
