I think they had support in America after Oprah but they're overexposed now and people have seen through them because of it. They're criticised in the UK but they're being absolutely ridiculed in America which is worse for them really. They're the butt of a lot of jokes over there and that's got to hurt.Lots of Americans have a soft spot or at least are fascinated by the BRF. Going after them in a book which appeared to target an American audience was dense beyond belief.
Do they have a 5 book deal? Will she get any choice?I wonder whether Meghan will do a sharp rethink about her book in the wake of the reaction to Spare? I mean, if she had any awareness at all she would pull the plug on it pronto. Not convinced she has any though.

Depends if they’re still interested in changing the world and being “global citizens”. Might as well double down and make the millions from her book, not that I think her book will sell anywhere near what Harrys did, but it’ll make enough to invest it and make more.I wonder whether Meghan will do a sharp rethink about her book in the wake of the reaction to Spare?

I think this is a huge problem for them. They're so convinced they're in the right and that we all can't see it because they just haven't explained enough yet. I think Meghan is smart enough to realise they need to change but Harry is too wrapped up in his victimhood to see it. They're just unlikeable and they can't force us to like them no matter how many books or interviews they do.Hasn't Meghan already published a children's book? I wonder if they'll swing back in that direction at some point. Neither has achieved so much in life that their experiences outweigh their main selling point of talking smack about the royals. Given that Spare has proven that doing it in a long-form project is profitable but tanks their popularity, continuing down that road will bring diminishing returns.
Their victim narrative sold well in interviews and with some mystery behind it, but when presented in detail and alongside the immense privileges Harry appears to take for granted, it comes off as ridiculous, hence all the ridicule.
If they want to see out the book deal without losing all support, they need to pivot rather than hoping that the next tell-all will be the one to really win the crowds over.
ha, I was coincidentally at the Gardens on Saturday and saw the Swedish royals. Felt sorry for the prince, it was way too bloody hot to be wearing a suit! Hard lifeI'm so impressed with this initiative:
Princess Anne has been touring New Zealand this past week and has been keeping a relatively low profile as much of the attention has been on the cyclone damage. I did see snippets of her and her husband though, and she honestly seems like such a nice lady. She is a huge asset to the Royal Family but given her age I don't think it's fair of them to rely so much on her for the long-haul visits.

Princess Victoria of Sweden (and husband Daniel) are also visiting here (NZ) at the moment:

The current royal visits have received mention in the paper on the news, but they've largely been buried as the news focuses on the relief efforts following the cyclone. Thousands of people are still unaccounted for, the death toll is rising, and the clean-up work seems never-ending. Some communities are still without power and cut off (due to roads being damaged).
Not surprised or disappointed. I like Charles. I always thought he’d make a good King based on his work with the The Prince’s TrustHas enough time passed for anyone to have an opinion on how well the King is doing as a Monarch?
If so are you pleasantly surprised or disappointed?

Lordy. Between this apparent situation and Harry complaining about being cut off, I have to wonder what they do with their inheritances and trust funds. I mean, it's not as if their "salary" from the crown is all they get and they're destitute when it stops as the job they do to earn it ceases.Suggest he might want to read the room
