No. It wasn't that. She talked about the date set up. She was saying when he arrived for the date,when she saw him she didn't know who he was.I think she just meant they were set up on a blind date, and she didn't know who he was going to be until she met him. But surely she would have recognised him at least when they did meet.

maybe it was just a case of, he didn't look like Harry on that date. Or the photos she's seen of him. IDK
What's the big deal anyway.
Actors and actresses lie for a living. I wouldn't want to marry one, I couldn't tell if they were acting or not. They could just be pretending to be in love....and everything else.
Harry was in the paper again this time the OpEd section where a lawyer wrote about how when someone sues someone in court it doesn't do anything to save their reputation or vindicate them (esp when they lose) and it just costs a lot of time and money.
Harry being a famous example, but also Oscar Wilde, and a noted Australian war veteran. (who I never heard of)
I'm not sure what Harry's court costs/bills are, but they would be in the thousands if not millions. He tried to sue the press for writing stuff about him that he claimed got without permission/bugged his phone/invaded his privacy. But he had no case.
Yes it sucks but making them pay for perceived damages isn't going to help anyone. He ended up having to pay them for the time he wasted.

I didn't read the book except for a few passages here and there. My wife read the whole book though.
Honestly I don't think you missed much. I sort of skimmed over his army days. I really wanted to know more about what he remembered about his mum.
But...it was all a bit of a haze for him, esp when he was tripping on mushrooms and stealing/borrowing food from Courtenay Cox's fridge.
Ghostwriter, you really missed the point of this book. I'm sure if Harry had written an Ode to his family you could have published it instead.

Harry has decided he's going to make an anniversary documentary about his mother, which may be picked up by Netflix, after his Uncle Charles Spencer wrote a memoir about his sister Diana.
Brother Charles wrote about his memories of Diana in Swan Song, my sister Diana which has just been released, and is also being serialised in the Daily Rag, for those who don't bother reading whole books.
I mean Daily Mail.
I haven't read it yet, (am in library queue holds request for it) but so far, news, or gossip is brother Charles wrote about overhearing husband Charles saying something horrible about his late sister after her tragic death. I won't repeat the exact words here, its just too sad.
Palace retailiated by saying his memory could be faulty, or that his memories were coloured by...actually I forget. But they thought he wasn't wise to bring that trauma up again. However brother Charles claimed he wrote the memoir for himself and his sisters memories were personal to him, and he wasn't going to be interviewed for a doco or be a talking head, and he didn't want others to write their books about her when they didn't know her from childhood as he did.
Now Harry's doco, to mark the 30th anniversary of his mothers passing, is going to look back on her life. In memoir Spare, it wasn't about her as he had hazy memories and glossed/blanked out everything with drugs. He was only 12 years old anyway.
Newspapers are saying its going to infuriate his brother William AGAIN. But William is of the 'never complain, never explain' Team Royal.
Team H & M don't care, they are doing it their way. 9 years ago the brothers did collab on two docos of their mum. I can't remember seeing them all but do remember some clips and they only had good things to say about her.
Their Dad, so far hasn't said anything to tarnish her memory or anything disrespectful, but we all know they had a massive feud before the divorce and used to have blazing rows which ended up quite violent - Diana threw herself down the stairs at one point. Charles had a quick temper - so does William. Well they all do. Nothing was peaceful in that household when they were all together.
Anyway that is the news of the ongoing saga... from a Royal watcher oversaturated with Palace intrigues, feuds, and drama.

Endgame
is a book written by Omid Scobie as a sequel to Finding Freedom, which was about H&M's bid to be released from the fold of the Royal Family. It was written after Spare had been published.
While nothing much new in the book regarding H&M it did have some points about the whole general mystique of the Royal family, esp the traditions they have made up over the years, convincing the people of England/Britain that they are the ones ruling and in charge of the nation and their empire.
Queen Elizabeths 'I have to be seen to be believed' mantra had struck me is that the Royals really do subscribe to the belief, which may even be religious, that they are the 'anointed' ones that are part of God's plan and they are sort of semi-divine. and require peoples devotion or worship.
In that they seem to be not much different from what the Pope is to Catholics...someone who is infallible and above the rules or makes the rules for everyone else to live by. There seems to be some expectation that this family is meant to be Christian -and nominal head of a church, even though the Bible states that Jesus was the only anointed one to rule a kingdom (of Heaven) and that earthly kingdoms were all going to be crushed anyway.
Also, a point that not even this book made, because a lot of books don't delve into the religious side of the Royal Family apart from personal faith of the Queen, is that Diana had such a following, even became somewhat of a cult leader to people who adored her. And in the Bible, we read about how Diana of the Ephesians was simliarly adored by the Greeks, and was vital to their economy of the time. I mean Diana's many outfits, I think maybe she had a different one for each day of the year most have cost an absolute fortune (of taxpayers money) propped up an entire fashion industry. It was partly this was the reason why she was photographed so much, aside from just the fact that she became a princess married to a prince that would be a future King.
We see this somewhat played out again in how Kate comports herself, always in beautiful outfits that sometimes eclipse what she does, until all we see of her are her clothes. Nobody cares what Prince William or Harry wear or what designer made them, but people DO care about what Kate wears.
It's the main conceit behind Cinderella stories, and the Princess Diaries where a somewhat ordinary girl gets elevated into Royalty mostly by the transformation of her clothes and hair.
What this meant for Meghan was she had to don an entire new wardrobe for the role, and she chafed against having to wear stockings, and beige colours because she wasn't supposed to upstage the Queen, and where somewhat modest clothes, and hats and things like that. Always dresses. No more barefeet and ripped jeans (even though Diana in her off days rocked that look). You'd never see the Queen or Charles in denim jeans. You'd never see the Queen wearing pants (except maybe in her off days horseriding) . Looking beautiful and polished is a requisite for the job.
Anyone read book of Esther? Queen Vashti paraded as the trophy wife until she couldn't take it anymore and Esther taking her place. After 6 months of beauty treatment and having to disguise her race of course. And not being allowed to speak because it wasn't the done thing for females to speak on things or have opinions.

Oversaturation of media
Or maybe parasocial relationship? How can one family want to live in a fishbowl for so many.
I think the Royals are like pets, they want our attention and to be pampered. They crave our love and approval. They also need to be taken on walks every now and then, and maybe meet with other pets. But they can be fiercely terrortorial, and possibly a reflection of their owners if they misbehave.
Sorry being random. In other news, brother Charles book' has upset nephew William but then...who is likely to forget sister Diana? Nobody who was alive in the 80s and 90s, unless we all suddenly develop dementia.
