The royal family is under pressure again. The new book reveals more spiciness
Shoes borrowed from Sex and the City. Kate and William have their first official portrait
Although Brown is no historian or intellectual writer, she is able to tell compelling stories that fascinate the average observer of the royal family, and add that she does not spare any of her members. He mentions everything from the tumultuous breakup between Charles and Diana, the controversial relationship between Elizabeth II’s favorite son, Prince Andrew, and the convicted pedophile rapist Jeffrey Epstein, and the allegations of racism by Meghan and Harry. I also go into such details as, for example, Prince Charles’s demands that his shoelaces be ironed. He claims all this on the basis of many years of observations and conversations with close people of the royal family, which can hardly resist the controversy they are so desperately trying to avoid. Here are five surprising statements from the new book.
Reckless decision
Brown told Time magazine that the best story had been written about Meghan and Harry and their departure from the royal family, because by the time she wrote it, the whole situation had escalated and there were plenty of people willing to talk about it. In his book, he says that Harry and Meghan “completely underestimated” life outside the royal family. When they resigned as important members more than two years ago to live a new, financially independent life in California, they did not realize the consequences.
They have signed multi-million dollar contracts with Netflix and Spotify – but so far only a minimum of content has emerged, and Harry and Meghan have trouble using their “royal brand”. In a video interview with the Washington Post, Brown said they couldn’t quite imagine what it was like to work without palace advisors and a PR team who could help them. “As much as they hated limitations and pettiness, what the palace does has amazing authority. There is no one who would not receive a phone call from Buckingham or Kensington Palace. All this is gone now and their judgment may not necessarily be the best, “I add, what I think about my decision.
Wide skirts, tweed and costumes. Elizabeth II style. underwent a drastic transformation during the reign
In his book, Brown also returns to several of Meghana’s incidents in the media. She claims that Meghan loved attention and used her status as a “royal celebrity” to obtain gifts from designer brands. This is nothing special in the celebrity world, but Brown claims that after marrying Harry, she sent luxury shops directly to the sailors, that she was interested in maintaining a warm relationship and that she received bags of designer pieces. He also returns to the quarrel with the Queen’s most intimate aide and dear friend Angela Kelly.
They argued over her tiara, which Meghan wanted on her wedding day. And Harry, after the possibility was denied, shouted, “What Mehan wants is that.” Both are said to share an interdependence on drama, which has fueled such a situation.
Kate’s secret life
In addition to telling in detail how Kate and William got together, Brown also develops the idea that a young middle-aged woman has always been a bit obsessed with social recognition. He literally writes that if Kate had her own perfume, it could be called “Love and Strategy.” The Duchess’s mother played a major role in Kate and William’s relationship, trying to keep them both. “It was a complete love match and it still is. I think Kate has fallen madly in love with William, but there’s a difference between falling madly in love with someone and being able to move around an obstacle course for ten years (press, family, etc.) – and I think Kate’s mother was extremely useful in maintaining a stable course, “told Time magazine.
And even though it seems that Kate cares mainly about the interests of others, I also think of my needs and passions outside the royal world. She secretly visits galleries and museums to satisfy her inner life. For example, she was once seen sneaking into the Hockney exhibition at the Royal Academy at eight o’clock in the morning and sitting in front of one of the works of art. The men sitting next to her reportedly said she lacked the history of art from which she earned a degree at St. Petersburg in 2005. Andrews University.
William and Kate’s Caribbean tour brought controversy. There was also a program cancellation
In the book, the author also reveals the strict standards of the Prince of Wales. He describes in detail how Prince Charles sent his personal belongings to his friends’ country home the day before he was to be there. He had his bed, furniture, and even pictures sent to him. There is also an orthopedic bed, toilet seat and toilet paper.
Harry returned the gift to his father
He also mentions that Prince Harry’s relationship with Father Charles was long strained and they communicated together mainly through their private offices. He cites the conversation about Harry’s 30th birthday present as an example. “Did he want more smoking?” Charles asked, and Harry said yes. “So the Savile Row man came to measure him, and when the suit arrived, one sleeve was shorter than the other and one pair was shorter than the other, so it was returned in the box. It looked like their whole relationship, “says the author of the book. And it reveals much more…
