My dog has decided the blanket my mom crocheted me is his. 😂

so while Meghan got all the pr Harry had an engagement that was totally ignored.

Omid Scobie

@scobie

While Meghan was at Hubb, Prince Harry quietly visited @wallacespace in Kings Cross to take part in a round table discussion on youth violence. The debate group was made up of youth and @macukcharity staff involved in transforming mental health services for excluded young people.

Omid said that the pages were cut for legal reasons, and then Harry said he removed because his family would never forgive him, I think Omid's version makes more sense and that Harry lied or wasn't intelligent enough to understand that even if he was willing to risk a lawsuit from his family that probably wouldn't come, PRH wouldn't depend on "never complain, never explain" as their insurance policy

I'd forgotten about that.

Yes, I think Scobie's version is probably true - it was cut for legal reasons.

What I suspect happened*, Harry made claims that couldn't be substantiated or that would require PRH to send the manuscript to the subjects for fact-checking. Legal advised to take it out, so the editors cut it and then Harry decided to use it as a threat/olive branch hybrid.

*This knowledge is based on The West Wing episode where Hoynes is writing a book and advance copies are sent to the staff to fact-check and confirm. I have no idea if this is the real process; I assume it is given how meticulous Aaron Sorkin is with his research.

Also I got the new West Wing BTS book, "What's Next" by Mary McCormack and Melissa Fitzpatrick and I cannot put it down. If you like the show (or might be obsessed with it like I am) or you're into public service, add it to your reading list!

Anything you feel like sharing from Endgame would be well received: you can puncture Sussex hypocrisy, ridiculousness, and delusions of grandeur like no other, so any bit that inspires you to comment will be well chosen.

Aw, thanks, Anon.

But we'll have to see if I can still do that several G&Ts in. Or a very strong rum punch.

I definitely lose my filter when I'm drinking (don't worry, all I do is just get really snarky) so I have a personal rule not to write-and-drink but after making my way through Finding Freedom and Spare regretably sober, it might be time to make an exception.
