The first step to identifying the filly in the field is to determine who was associated with Harry when he was aged 17.

Could it have been Camilla, out looking for a Prince....?

You know - "Some day my Prince will come"

Certainly fits the 'older horsey woman' profile.

You lot are warped, bent, perverted and twisted!!

And that's what I like about you lot and this site!!!

But seriously, Folks....

May I put forward a scenario; it has been said that Harry, by actually mentioning just how many Talibs he 'offed' in his time in Afghanistan has 'painted a target on his back.'

Let us assume that some representative of the Taliban decide to make a revenge attempt on his life, and, I must say God forbid, they succeed!


Then what???

Then it all goes quiet....

Erm...

Prince Harry sent a fighter jet after his father's car in Norfolk while training for combat in the military, his controversial memoir reveals.

The Duke of Sussex writes in Spare of how hard he worked to prepare himself for his tours of Afghanistan, including 'steering jets over marshy flats at ungodly speeds' near the Sandringham residence.

In one bizarre tale, he tells how he used a Typhoon to target King Charles and his grey Audi before 'ultimately sparing him' at the last minute. ...

Are we sure it was a filly?

Recollections my vary.

[G-CPTN]

Possibly a mare because of the difference in age.

ISTR the daily briefings at Marham when the Royals were in residence included reminders that the area around the Sandringham estate was a no-fly zone.

A train of thought led me to think of Harry Chapin's song at viewtopic.php?p=357564#p357564

Even the local, very uncontentious, free paper has taken up the cause!

4ma, it was (is?) nut only for a few weeks a year. I think in general with most aircrew we would avoid any area with a big circle around it. It saved time digging out the details of is it active or not.

We had one low level avoid near Holbeach. Its location was a right PITA and caused noise complaints from crews avoiding it. I reported that the explosives storage there was no more and had the avoid removed. As crews realised Fosdyke Bridge was no longer an avoid so did the complaints reduce.

Prince Harry’s Spare becomes fastest-selling non-fiction book ever

https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/ne ... ver-732915

Prince Harry’s controversial, tell-all memoir Spare has become the fastest-selling non-fiction book of all time, after shifting 1.43 million copies during its first day on sale in the UK, US, and Canada.

The record was previously held by Barack Obama’s fourth book, A Promised Land (2020), which sold 887,000 copies during its release day.

Spare’s superlative sales figures are made even more impressive when considering the fact that it was leaked five days early in Spain.

This meant that most of the revelations contained within – including details of Harry’s drug use and a fight with his older brother Prince William – made headlines worldwide before the book officially hit shelves on 10 January.

However, it’s entirely possible that these juicy details actually spurred more people to buy Spare, not less.

"The first full day of sales of Spare represents the largest first-day sales total for any non-fiction book ever published by Penguin Random House," the book's publisher confirmed in a statement.


The Duke of Sussex promoted the book heavily before its release by giving interviews on ITV, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, 60 Minutes, and Good Morning America.

During his chat with Stephen Colbert, Harry replied, “of course,” when asked if the royal family were engaged in an active campaign to undermine the book.

Harry also agreed that the British press were being “aided and abetted” by his family in order to attack him and his wife, Meghan Markle.

Harry later said, “we wouldn't have got to this moment,” when asked what things would be like if his mother, Princess Diana, was still alive.

“There is no way that the distance between my brother and I would be the same,” he added.

Prince Harry Spare book cover

Spare was launched in the US with a print run of two million copies, and a second print run has now been scheduled in order to meet the huge demand.

Despite having a cover price of $36 in the US and £28 in the UK, many retailers are selling it at a discount of up to 50%.

"As far as we know, the only books to have sold more in their first day are those starring the other Harry (Potter)," said Larry Finlay, managing director of Transworld Penguin Random House.

Spare was ghostwritten by American novelist and journalist J.R. Moehringer, who also wrote memoirs for tennis legend Andre Agassi and billionaire Phil Knight.

Interestingly, Moehringer’s own memoir, The Tender Bar (2005), was adapted into a film in 2021, directed by George Clooney and starring Ben Affleck.


Prince Harry’s much-anticipated memoir isn’t his first foray into the limelight since giving up his royal duties – he and Meghan were famously interviewed by Oprah Winfrey in 2021, and in 2022 the couple released a Netflix docuseries titled Harry & Meghan.

Harry is also set to appear on the cover of People magazine’s January 2023 edition.

Before Prince Harry and Barack Obama released their record-breaking books, the title of fastest-selling non-fiction book belonged to Michelle Obama, whose memoir Becoming (2018) sold 725,000 copies on its first day.

And before Michelle, the record was held by Bill Clinton’s My Life (2004), which sold 400,000 copies, breaking the record set one year earlier by his wife, Hillary Clinton. Her memoir, titled Living History, sold 200,000 copies.

The fastest selling book overall is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final instalment of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. It sold 8.3 million copies (or 345,833 books per hour) on the day of its release, 21 July 2007.

...and is probably more factually accurate that the tome shoved out by the ginger whinger.

[FD2]

What has happened to Megain since the book release(s)? She's normally clinging to him like a lovelorn limpet.Is he being allowed to fly solo this time? Will his self-confessed drug history reflect on her future plans?

[Pontius Navigator]

She must have known what he had 'written'. As we know it was factually accurate. Did she partake too and is perhaps avoiding any press questions.

[FD2]

I think she had a lot to do with the compilation of all the 'incidents' and 'slights' that went into the book - so much of it has the authentic touch of 'their truth' - though some of the more 'purple' prose is more likely the work of the ghost writer. There was obviously so much 'evidence' that was compiled when the Queen was alive, so were they going to release the Netflix series and book(s) while she was still with us?

Perhaps Megain has finally decided to seek the privacy they have craved and keep her head down...

[Ex-Ascot]

According to Neil Shawn there is a rumour that she has left with the kids because of the security risk after his Taliban kill claim. Hope that it is an excuse.

If rumours about previous employments are to believed, that was a regular occurrence.

[OFSO]

So the truth is out:

"Prince Harry was made to feel ‘less important than Prince William by being given fewer sausages at breakfast’, Princess Diana’s former butler has revealed.
Paul Burrell, 64, said a young Harry asked ‘how come he gets three’ at breakfast-time, after the Princes’ nanny served up their meal.
The nanny allegedly replied: ‘William needs filling up more than you. He’s going to be king one day.’

All this bitterness and hate could have been avoided if Harry had been given one more sausage....
