Love 'em or hate 'em: the Harry & Meghan megathread (Biddies v. Narcs edition)

it's not a great title but it's also no different than all the other books about royals written by journalists who sympathise with their subjects. they're always very extra with the titles. and no it's not offensive

it may be a cheesy title but they did in essence escape a golden cage and no longer have to live according to anachronistic and ridiculous protocols and rules that prevented them from even making a living.
they can't have collaborated that much if they didn't even pose for a photo for the cover, it's just a recycled old shot.

^ Looks like a scramble to get the book out then. For no apparent reason.

Getting posed pictures of the two of them (let alone the three of them) seems to be extremely problematic these days but we'll see what they come up with for Archie's birthday. For zero sales, they could have used the engagement pic.

what scramble? the book isn't even out until august. they're just announcing the release date and pre-sales.

I am sure the title and the contents will be very pleasing to their target readers and fans.this is a marketing product.They dont aim to a literature award.

These two are so full of shit. Getting so close to not caring at all about what they have to say about anything feels really, very good but really, they have been a fascinating study. It will be interesting to see what steps they take as Prince Andrew's fate progresses. I'd love to know what she has on this family, but i'm betting "Finding Freedom" is not where we will be enlightened.

A very Happy Birthday to Archie, who turns one today.
