And yet you only ever provide links to the latter. Funny that.

Finding Freedom: Meghan could be quizzed in court about new biography The level of detail in Finding Freedom has prompted claims that Harry and Meghan must, at the very least, have authorised friends to speak ByVictoria Ward and Camilla Tominey, ASSOCIATE EDITOR The Duchess of Sussex faces being quizzed in court over intimate details revealed in a new tell-all biography after the authors admitted that she was a source.Finding Freedom, a 350-word tome laying bare the innermost thoughts of both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, is expected to be thrust to the heart of a High Court privacy case brought by Meghan against the Mail on Sunday. The Sussexes have tried to distance themselves from the book, while co-authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand have repeatedly insisted they were not interviewed and did not contribute, despite a startling level of detail charting the couple’s feelings. However, buried in an “author’s note” at the back of the book, is the intriguing admission: “We have spoken with close friends of Harry and Meghan, royal aides and palace staff (past and present), the charities and organizations they have built long-lasting relationships with and, when appropriate, the couple themselves.” The Mail on Sunday's legal team are understood to be looking closely at the book to determine whether it is evidence that the Duchess has allowed friends to speak to the media on her behalf, which is central to their case. The Duchess could be called to the stand as part of the case. Mark Stephens, a leading media lawyer and partner at Howard Kennedy solicitors, said: “Essentially, that’s a confession that this is as near as damn it to an authorised biography.” He said the Duchess would likely be questioned about whether she gave the green light to friends and colleagues to contribute to the book in order to curate her own reputation. “You can’t expect to get into a reputational boxing ring without risking a few punches landing on you,” Mr Stephens added. The Duchess is suing the Mail on Sunday for breach of privacy after it published part of a letter she had written to her father. Her insistence that she did not authorise five of her friends to speak to People magazine in interviews which revealed the existence of the letter is central to the case. But Mr Scobie may have inadvertently already compromised her position after telling Good Morning America that she had intended for the contents of the letter to be made public. Speaking to the US network in February 2019, he revealed that the Duchess “knew in her heart of hearts that this was going to be released to the papers,” adding: “Many of those things in that letter were written with the public in mind. She very much wanted to set the record straight.” Finding Freedom, published on Tuesday, provides a highly personal account of Harry and Meghan’s relationship, charting every detail from the moment they met until their departure from royal life to America. |

Lengthy but amusing review of Finding Freedom....this made me chuckle.... CRAIG BROWN: Finding Freedom is full of fluff, guff, gobbldegook and gush that has Meghan Markle's fingerprints all over it By CRAIG BROWN FOR THE DAILY MAIL PUBLISHE 22:01, 15 August 2020 | UPDATE 01:40, 16 August 2020 In his largely adoring 2018 biography of Meghan, Andrew Morton revealed that after launching Tig in 2013, Meghan got in touch with Ivanka Trump, who was 'one of her female idols'. Meghan was 'thrilled when she accepted her invitation to meet for drinks and dinner the next time Meghan was in New York'. And so began a bout of vigorous back-scratching. 'Don't get me started on her jewellery collection: the late-night 'window shopping' I have done on my computer, snuggled up in bed with a glass of wine, staring longingly at her beautiful designs,' wrote Meghan of Ivanka. 'When we have drinks, I will make sure I order whatever she does – because this woman seems to have the formula for success and happiness down pat.' |

Meghan wanted a part in Made in Chelsea and befriended someone from the show called Millie Macintosh.

Her admirers could also post positive articles about her and the book as well, but don't. So it's more one - sided than it could, or should be. Last edited by jet; 19-08-2020 at 01:48 PM. |

It's utterly bizarre, there's plenty of celebrities I don't care for but I don't live my life looking for affirmation of why I should hate them, it's so weird.

He didn't quote the article (which I don't think was 'smearing' anyway) so I got the impression he was being critical of posters in general. As the thread was quiet, it seemed like poking.
