    So we are talking about a divorce as something that might happen.

    To my knowledge the king of England had a bit on the side whilst he was married to Diana, and Harry's uncle is not only divorced but has paid someone £12m to keep quiet and Bury his past.

    I'd be happier if those who don't want him in the media every day actually shut up about him as they seem to be the main people who bring him up over and over.

    I think it is extremely bad of him to say how many people he appears to have killed in battle and that it should not be something you openly talk about but the rest of the stuff about being drunk at his brothers wedding and snagging an old bird is the kind of trash I would expect on loose women, not the media attention it is getting.

    What about it ?
    It's about what the army chiefs are saying, not the press...

    Did the Army chiefs say to the press in the past you shouldn't print stuff like this as it puts us in danger?

    I wonder if their press team has the balls to tell them no one really gives a shit about them and that they should stop embarrassing themselves even more and just disappear into their own ignominy.

    Maybe if the media shut up about them they would be half way there.

    I think they soon will. Where do they go from here?

    All bridges burnt.

    A failed Netflix launch.

    I can only think an appearance on Graham Norton followed by an interview with that nauseous Richard Madeley could resurrect their celebrity status?

    The thing is they are all falling over themselves to report about them. Doesn't today's Mail have about 15 pages dedicated to them, they are on ITV tonight and you know it will be all over breakfast TV tomorrow.

    If the media ignored them like they say they will but don't then I for one will be happy not having it all over the place when there are far more important issues in this country at the moment.

    They will only stop talking about them if people stop. Whilst we are still discussing them on threads like this the press will carry on

    Why? Would that have prevented the Oprah interview, the Netflix documentary and the book releases?

    These two (or certainly one) are fame hungry and being in the spotlight was always the end game for the, ahem, very private couple who moved away to remove themselves from the said spotlight.

    He's a (former?) Prince, of course the media will report on it but it certainly wouldn't be as hyped as it is without their behaviour and blatant media manipulation over the last couple of years.

    The Mail has got 37 stories about Harry on the main website page.

    There is reporting and there is obsession. This does not fall under reporting.

    I'll take your word for it, I don't buy newspapers and certainly don't seek them out online.

    The TV also gets changed over at the merest hint of a news programme as it's impossible getting an unbiased report of anything these days.

    Cheers! That's the site- and Mod-friendly version.

    I too wish they would do as they claim to have wanted to do, and just disappear into private life, never to be heard from again. Or that they'd be sent to rule over South Georgia -- as the only permanent inhabitants there.

    There were rumours last year the Ghost Writer quit half way through (part of the reason for it being delayed a few times) and I’ve seen an analysis from a former FBI writer expert who says there are two clearly different writing styles. One of which (much of the worse stuff) matches the writing style of blogs and other writings that Meghan is known to have written.

    She seems to have the qualities of a cult leader and Harry is so brainwashed he will say whatever she wants (some of the books revelations almost seem like ammunition for when she deems him no use anymore so she can get a better divorce settlement and also get custody of the children) even if it contradicts previous statements (such as him being on record before he met Meghan that William urged him to get therapy but now it’s something she pushed him to get) or when it deeply hurts his family and potentially contributed in some way to both his grandparents deaths

    There were already rumours last summer that she had people working to get him on Dancing With The Stars. Being on it herself would potential be bad for her political aspirations (it’s raised us politicians profile but hasn’t helped them get votes) but him being on it would get her exposure without taking the political hit.

    I don’t see either doing a U.K. one though and certainly not one where the U.K. audience can vote for them eat Kangaroo penis. And even the US ones it’s most likely going to need to be one that the public doesn’t vote on such as Survivor or Amazing Race as opinion in the US is now turning and they would risk being first voted out if the public votes

    To be fair it’s really only about 3 as they are largely just the same story with a different focus in the opening paragraph and the rest slightly rewritten. And that’s just because it’s how it has to be when most people get their news online rather than print and It needs them to clickbait and also look to maximise seo. It’s not just Harry they do this with, it’s any big story that has big interest in it

    1.4 million sales in the first 24 hours.

    That would suggest, contrary to the opinion of some left-wing commenters, that there is substantial interest in this.
