Head over to the Britney thread now and tell them her relationship with her father is nobody's business but their own. See you there!
Two completely different contexts. There is a trial in the case of Britney regarding her conservatorship
In Meghan's case, people like to toss this story around, hear "sources" or believe whatever they can find because they just like gossip. There are two sides to every story and their personal relationship is, once again, none of our business.

Now the fact that she became NYT Best Selling author is relevant and I'm not sure how that article about her uncle was any relevant to what this thread is about. But go off I guess.

Her uncle died so let's pretend we care and honour his life by highlighting that time he slagged his niece off

A bunch of random people still pretending they know this woman's life more than she knows herself.

…I did see that The Bench has gone up again to #2 bestseller on the NYT list for its category from its #4 a few days ago so Amy’s thread impact, I reckon…….

Irish Times "writer" talks butchering a language.



Poems don't always rhyme. Did he do GCSE English?

How many awful kids books have I read? Literally dozens.

How many of those had journalists shaking their fists in the air and declaring damage to children's learning of language?

Not a single one .

She's not a writer! She's not a professional children's author, nor (as far as I'm aware) does she claim to be one... she just wrote a little book and decided to publish it. The outrage is hilarious (but totally on-brand, of course).

Here we go. She doesn't aim at the Nobel Prize in Literature and people act as if it's in the running for high level prizes It's a book for children

The idea seems to be "if you can't write the best book ever, don't bother trying to write a book". Which is really a quite sad idea...

So bashing Meghan's book as "barely literate" & saying Kate is an "amazing photographer"

Is not comparing and pitting the 2 against eachother??
Sure okayyy.

She doesn’t need to….she’s neither desperate or needs the money and publicity.

Meghan wrote a poorly written poem her advisers had a brainstorming session and said make it into a picture book so they got a professional illustrator to work his magic
Promote it release it on Father’s Day for maximum profit and it’s sold well.

Meghan is many things but she is not a poet.

She didn't claim to be a poet. She wrote a children's book. Get over it.
