That's no different to what I said. She never claimed to be a poet.

The publishing industry don't make books for free shocker!! I guess that's classified as news in your world.

Let's be fair, both books only did as well as they did because of the names affiliated with them. Had someone else put Hold Still out with the same images and stories and still for the charity it wouldn't have sold as well as it did with Kate's name attached.

Meghan has to earn money, Kate does not as she is handsomely paid by the UK tax payer and the various Duchy grants for the work she does.

It doesn't need to be a pissing contest, both are in a position of privilege that us mere commoners will never know.

I haven't bought either book and won't but at the end of they day, both have set out to achieve what they wanted with their respective publications

This photograph is the first of four official photographs being released today, taken by The Duchess of Cambridge in mid-May.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to be able to share two new photographs of Princess Charlotte. They were taken by The Duchess in early November at their home in Norfolk.

I've never said she didn't take photographs. she has released pictures of all the children

The fact still remains that she DID NOT take any of the photographs in the Hold Still book that we were talking about when you claimed I was INCORRECT. I was not incorrect and actually knew what the content of said book was....which is obviously more than you did. Kate helped choose the pictures and wrote the foreward.....they photographs were other people's hence me saying it was not her talent in the book.

Tl:dr......don't have a pop and try and prove a point if you've not read tge thread properly

The constant comparing of two women is such a boring sexist trope

Who was comparing? I asked if she had released a #1 Best Selling Book because I don't know much about Kate.
