As someone from the Commonwealth with a (very very) negative view of our former colonizer, it’s hard for me to buy anything Tina says. There’s a rabid group of supporters on either side of this Mountbatten-Windsor feud that pull up receipts at every turn. What they ALL have in common? Every single book published by anyone about the family has had blatant falsehoods – except Harry’s.
I do agree with Tina on one thing: Harry told them to leave his wife and kid the hell alone, and to call off the tabloids. Charles and the rest of them thought it wise to even hire out from among the ranks of the editors of the Daily Mail. At that point (and when they let that press secretary submit evidence on behalf of ANL in a case against Meghan), bets were off. It’s highly ironic for Tina to claim that she was in the know when her own book released just last year got so many details wrong, that Harry cleared up in her own book.

So it was Diana’s butler who released the rumor that her famous sapphire engagement ring was selected by Harry as a child and when William married, Harry offered it to William. But in Harry’s book, he said those were lies which would render everything the butler said as hearsay.

Either way, Catherine Zeta-Jones also complained that the British press were relentless during her heyday. I think H & M will be fine under the American roof where it is illegal to photograph one’s child for publishing. I am disappointed how racist the British press are..or perhaps in general. Meghan would have been a wonderful asset to the royals. But this is from someone who knew about her before the British press ruined her image.

I do agree with Tina Brown’s assessment. Diana would have wanted William to be king. Perhaps she would have asked Harry to support William and allow his older brother and sister in law to shine. But then again, Charles/Camilla could not outshine Diana. I can’t believe she will be called Queen Camilla. Argh.
