The moment I saw the People Magazine cover story in February 2019, I knew what the Duchess of Sussex had done. She had been victimized, abused and smeared for months prior to that moment, and she was tired of being voiceless in a white, colonialist, antiquated institution. She was also tired of being told that she couldn’t say or do anything to clap back at her father’s months of abuse in the press, all of the paid interviews he had done with Piers Morgan and the Daily Mail and the Sun. So of course Meghan organized the People Mag cover and authorized her closest friends to speak out. As soon as one anonymous friend mentioned Meghan’s letter to her father, I could see the plan and how Meghan had set up a rare win-win for herself. And so it was. While she now denies setting up the People story, I… uh, just don’t see how that can be true. The information about the letter was so obviously a bait by Meghan, and honestly, she should sign her work. I still see the beauty and elegance of the strategy.
Why bring this up? Because Meghan – and Harry too – wants to implement another media strategy. Omid Scobie has long been one of Meghan’s favorite journalists, and now that the Sussexes are running their own communications office (with help from some LA people), Scobie and Harper’s Bazaar are still on the favored list. Scobie was one of the handful of journalists to get the information about the Sussexes’ video-call with the Queen just last week. Scobie is still seen as “friendly,” that’s my point. Which means if he had gone off to write a book about the Sussexes without Meghan and Harry’s approval, they would have removed him from the Friendly List. Meaning, the Sussexes have authorized this book. Once again, I’m not saying that it’s off-side or wrong or anything – William, Kate, Charles, Camilla, the Queen, they’ve all quietly authorized biographies from friendly journalists. The question becomes, how much will a royal figure “cooperate” with their authorized biographer? Thus far, one journalist claims that Meghan & Harry did not *officially* give an interview for the book. But Vanity Fair (surprisingly not Katie Nicholl) has more exclusive info about the book:
The book: Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand have written a “biographical look at their last few years, provisionally called Thoroughly Modern Royals: The Real World of Meghan and Harry.” According to the Mail on Sunday, Meghan and Harry sat for interviews with Durand and Scobie before they announced their exit in January. The book was reportedly set to come out in June, but its release date has been pushed to August due to the coronavirus crisis.
What the book will cover: According to a source with knowledge of the deal, the book will cover the period from Meghan and Harry’s introduction to their royal exit in March, including details about her deteriorating relationship with the Markle family. It will approach those years from the perspective of the couple and cast Meghan in a more flattering light than many tabloid stories have. Their cooperation tracks with some of their motivations from stepping back from the royal family earlier this year.
The comparison to Princess Diana: In 1992, Princess Diana had cooperated with Andrew Morton, a tabloid veteran, on Diana: Her True Story, which documented her difficult days in the palace and the affair between Prince Charles and his future wife, Camilla Parker-Bowles. At a moment when Diana was attempting to negotiate her own exit from the family, the book’s publication strained her already rocky relationship with the Queen. But it also endeared her to an international audience and helped her maintain popularity despite the messiness of a royal divorce. Meghan and Harry’s choice to go public doesn’t seem to have as much to do with their feelings about the family’s state of affairs. When they stepped back as senior royals, Meghan and Harry were hoping they could find a more progressive role within the family, but were only able to achieve that by leaving their roles behind entirely. Participating in a book might be the most forceful way they are able to make that change without deliberately agitating their relatives.
The Sussexes won’t go scorched earth: In charting their careers outside of the royal family, the couple have reportedly taken pains to stay on the monarchy’s good side. There’s no reason to believe that Thoroughly Modern Royals will drop any information that will leave the queen fuming, though there’s a chance that their choice could backfire. But by working with Durand and Scobie, two British journalists who write for American outlets, they’re making a point about who this book is aimed at. Meghan and Harry don’t seem to be trying to set the house on fire—just looking for an opportunity to get a few things off their chests.
The fact that it was supposed to be published in June says to me that the original pre-corona plan was to package everything into a series of announcements over the course of a few weeks/one month in May and June: the announcement of a foundation/charity, the launch of a new Instagram, a production deal (probably with Netflix), and the authorized book as a way to frame their new post-royal life. Corona really f–ked that up. And while Scobie and Durand likely won’t quote from any “exclusive” interview with Meghan and Harry, my guess is that – much like Diana did with Andrew Morton – the Sussexes will be providing the “background” on their own stories. We’ll have to wait and see if Thoroughly Modern Royals brings the monarchy to its knees like Diana’s authorized biography did.

Good on them, they deserve the opportunity to fairly portray their side of the story.
I would truly love to be in a world where the media was regulated to a degree, the abuse of power in all corners of the world is very disheartening, they all but get away with murder.
Well…a regulated press would not be a free press. The legal system is usually there to give the libeled a chance to push back and that’s what Meghan and Harry are using. Part of the problem seems to be the British tabloids existing and flourishing in the same ecosystem as more trustworthy outlets. I’m not from the UK so I don’t know why the tabloids have gotten this far but it seems to take something really egregious to chasten them…until the next thing.
Oh the other thing is that libel law is different in the UK than the US, does it make it harder for the target of libel? If so then the tabloids might feel more invulnerable.
Totally agree! regulated press isn’t free press and at least in the US you can’t call yourself a journalist and print lies.
I also don’t understand how if the Daily Mail is a tabloid on the level of Star why it is considered a reputable paper in the UK.
A regulated press doesn’t mean they aren’t a free press. Free doesn’t mean you get to do whatever you want. There is nothing wrong with appropriate regulation – in fact it’s necessary to protect everyone’s freedom. The problem in the UK is that the press self-regulating – answerable only to a panel of their peers. It’s not working. That’s why Leveson 2 is so important in providing oversight.
There was a media blackout in the UK over even talking about the Prince William affair so the UK media is not free.
If not when.
So the Sussexes are not:
1. Publishing their trademarked pictures
2. Giving an interview for this book
These are the two most valuable things they have outside of themselves.
The scope of the book makes sense. The name? Absolutely nothing modern about hereditary monarchy.
This is a legitimate point and mine is more superficial – it’s just a terrible title. I really hope the provisional title gets changed because it’s just not very good? It’s like when they named their foundation SussexRoyal (I know they didn’t have anything to do with titling the book). They’re lovely and clever, how does everything named around/about them sound so bleh?
@Aang totally agree. But that is their brand. There is a dissonance in being progressive and modern, but also being royal.
Sounds reasonable… i actually may buy the book.
Yeah, like I said the other day – this is definitely being done with their blessing, even if not their official authorization. And I agree with your take Kaiser, it seems like it was part of their master rollout for their post-royal life and now some things are being adjusted.
Also like I said – no way is this going to be scorched earth. Diana had an agenda and a bone to pick with the royals. The Sussexes have an agenda* as well and there is obviously some bad blood there, but this is not going to be how they handle that bad blood. Their motivations here are completely different. No tea will be spilt in this book – no serious tea, at any rate.
*Don’t come at me for saying they have an agenda. Most people do. It’s not a negative thing.
Diana wasn’t good when it came to long term strategy. I hope the Sussexes do better in the long perspective.
No, she definitely wasn’t, so I don’t think the Sussexes are going to follow her lead there.
This is no slam of Diana, of whom I’ve always had a pretty good opinion, even if I’m not a total stan. But Meghan is *far* more intelligent than Diana was, and possibly/probably more intelligent than her husband. It seems to me that she’ll steer her family through dangerous waters with her usual aplomb, avoiding the shady characters and poor advice that plagued Diana before her death. Hell, if she could navigate her way around her ratchet family members, she can handle book publishing.
I def think that Meghan is more intelligent – but more importantly more emotionally balanced and probably a much better judge of character.
I don’t think Meghan and Harry are going give much info about what was going on behind the the palace gates, it’s called currency waiting to be used, at their convenience.
Diana had had enough. Plus she needed to counter the stories leaked about her to the media.
Sussex won’t spill the tea before the queen’s death. I think a lot of secrets will come out after queen death. Because spilling the tea will get them backlash even nonroyalist won’t like dragging the queen because of her age. But after her death, all bets are off. so many brf secrets will come and out and how brf will survive after her is the real game of throne. Willileak already trying to dethroning his father with constant pr , andy is doing what andy does.
I’m kinda hoping Harry will hold off until just after William’s coronation. Then release a tell-all book. A most memorable start to his reign:)
@Lady D,
That could be 10 to 30 years from now. The Monarchy may be obsolete. If it isn’t I hope everyone involved has moved last these squabbles and if they havent , the public likely will have. The concentration might have bypassed George and Charlotte by then with Louis as the most popular royal!
On a superficial note: that purple dress in the last photo is really lovely. Meghan looks great in strong colours.
“According to the Mail on Sunday, Meghan and Harry sat for interviews with Durand and Scobie before they announced their exit in January. “
Still not buying into this 100% cause Vanity Fair is quoting MOS. And they’re not a reliable source…they just want to get their narrative of what they want the book to be about. And agree to disagree, but I still don’t believe that Meghan masterminded the People article with her friends and set this whole Machiavellian scheme in motion. We’ll see what what comes out.
I agree with you Edna, I don’t think Meghan set up or was aware of the People interview. I think that her friends were horrified by the British tabloid coverage, were tired of seeing their dear friend hurt and upset and decided to do what they could to “help”. While I might not be the best friend in the world, if I saw one of my dear friends being vilified on a daily basis I would be chomping at the bit to stick up for them and set the record straight.
^^ I agree with you @Harla. It seems to me that Meghan would not be telling mistruths when a court case is riding on her veracity.
Even after the People article came out, some of the friends involved made a point of relaying the fact that Meghan had not known about it in advance. Of course, many people thought Meghan had given the go-ahead. I thought so too. I was surprised to see in court documents that Meghan disavows any knowledge of what her friends planned.
At the most, it’s possible her friends marginally hinted at wanting to speak out publicly, and Meghan immediately said, ‘No, don’t do anything.’ And then the group got together and decided they really must speak out, even if anonymously, because they were worried about her emotional health and the fact that she was heavily pregnant with her first child at an advanced age.
OTOH, it’s also possible that Meghan’s friends never said a word to her, but thought their actions would help because once again they were worried about her health & well being and concerned about the safety of her unborn child.
I would guess that Amal Clooney was not involved. The friends who took the initiative are probably: Jessica Mulroney, Serena Williams, Janina Gavankar, Abigail Spencer, and Daniel Martin. If they were all female friends, then I’d say Lindsay Roth may be the fifth participant friend, instead of Martin.
This is such a short term strategy, people are getting annoyed with them outside of the Uk now. They have no really roles/jobs.
What’s it going to say white privileged male met and married well?
Hey B(ot), you’re glitching!!😬
No one’s annoyed with people who spend their time doing charity work and trying to help others. As for them not having roles or jobs, you could say the same for all of the royals couldn’t you?
People are not “getting annoyed with them outside of the UK”, speak for yourself. I live on Vancouver Island where they stayed for months and they were treated respectfully and given the peace they so rightly deserved. Nice that you’re so in the know about them that you can state unequivocally that they have no roles/jobs. They are developing their jobs/roles as we speak. It’s called entrepreneurship with a focus on conservation, mental health and women’s issues.
A few rambling thoughts:
1) I really didn’t think this “book” was a true store but apparently I was wrong.
2) I wish they would wait a couple of years so we could also get the story behind the building of their new life, new non-profit and their new work,
3) In my less generous moments, I do wish that they would Burn It Down. But realistically I don’t think they ever will because it doesn’t seem to be part of either of their personalities, they both seem to be focused on moving forward instead of looking back. Plus I think Harry is hoping at some point to have a better relationship with his father and brother.
It’ll be interesting to see how much input the Sussex’s have in this book or is it going to be the impressions of Omid and Carolyn.
It is WIlliam who needs to change. I think Harry tried and Meghan also but William is so judgmental and did not like that Harry did not obey him.
lol most are keen kate fans lurking here and pretending to care about Sussex.
Oh I agree completely Tessa! I think in the beginning Meghan saw how William treated Harry and said “nope”. I can’t recall a single time that William spoke with pride about Harry’s accomplishments, it’s always put-downs veiled as sibling teasing. I believe that William never expected Harry to want more from his life, to become more than the “spare”, to move past being the family screw up, but he did and found a partner who brought out those wonderful qualities and helped him become more of who he was longing to be.
That post for above comment . Sorry.
Realistically they can’t burn it down until their ventures are off the ground and they have a solid income flow, corona really did put the brakes on a fast moving train. Only time will tell if they regain that kind of momentum in a post corona world where people are stretched thin and weary of celebrities.
i hope this book is only released after the Daily Mail trial because any glimmer of information will be used against her.
While I 100% believe that Meghan & Harry do plan ahead and strategize etc, i’m not sure how good they are at it outside of PR & Charity events.
Sussexit certainly didn’t go as planned and they had to walk away without the half in , half out deal they had publicly set out to obtain, and need to submit to a 1yr review that they themselves have expressed unhappiness over.
The DM trial, which i certainly hope she wins, seems to be resting on whether she did or didn’t authorise her friends to speak on her behalf. I remember at the time, everyone raving over how Meghan had laid everything out so perfectly to bait her dad and the DM, and now it all seems to be boomeranging back.
Agree with all your points.
The Mail would like it to rest on that for sure. But their argument is pretty weak because they still published a private letter without the author’s permission. As far as it being used against them, something like this would be cleared by their counsel so as not to interfere with the case.
I might be naive, but I can see Meghan not having orchestrated anything. Yes, she was an actress, is comfortable enough with the ins and outs of the industry to have achieved modest success as a performer and even greater as a social influencer. This means that her instincts for self promotion tend to be more right than wrong and she is famously good on networking.
To me, a Brazilian, she is my idea of American go-getter. The first rule of any performer´s rule is to know their audience, and Meghan knows hers.
Harry is sixth in line for the Throne. Meghan saw the writing on the wall a long time ago when she tried to work on this Foundation. They have tried to do their work within the institution to the best of their capabilities while also playing to their audience, which is not Daily Mail material. DM is Wills and Kate audience. The fact that Meghan kept her ties to America, travelled there, did not close her site but rather stopped posting. No, it is not that Megahn always wanted to leave, but being an intelligent woman of colour and having experienced a divorce, girl knew the value of a fucking plan b!
Now, getting to the point: Meghan and Harry are adults. They are not dumb. They both had full time jobs . They are not Will and Kate, whose whole identities are Future-Future King, who both only worked part time at best, who both love the jet-set lifetstyle.
This is to say: they are suing the vicious tabloids. They sat with their legal team for hours to work on the strategy. If Meghan is saying she did not orchestrate People cover, I believe her. I think that she must have given tacital approval, but I dont believe she done the whole thing. It is too neaty, you know?
Moreover, women of colour tend not to pull this shit. The game is already set against us and we know second chances are mostly esxclusively granted to white people, so we do not count on gaining sympathy by playing the victim. I might be wrong, but that is just not my experience. This really sounds like a group of well intentioned white friends over cokatil going all ” we must help poor Megs!”
Again, I might be wrong…but I truly believe I am not.
“…girl knew the value of a fucking plan b!” Meghan said it herself, she didn’t expect it to be easy, she expected it to be fair. Well … it sure as hell wasn’t fair. Far, far from it.
I have trouble being sensible about this because I am aghast at how horribly she, and by extension Harry, were treated. It was just galling racism and outdated ” We are Royal, we don’t change” behavior from everyone and I can’t stomach it. The world changes, keep up or loose your relevancy.
Kaiser, I know a lot of people came for you when you mentioned this and I never saw the big deal. I’m sure Harry and Meghan know this book is coming and gave their blessing to Omid. Out of all the reporters that would write a book about them I would definitely want Omid because he is fair. He is fair to all of them. This book isn’t to settle a score but to get their truth out there. I have always thought he had an “in” with the Sussex’s and their friends. He hasn’t gotten every story right but most. A lot of people that say Omid doesn’t know what he is talking about are the same that go to his twitter page when a story needs confirmed. I think Harry and Meghan are behind this book and I will definitely read it.
I think it’s gonna be more “How did this relationship all start?” and what was the process behind their projects. I don’t think theirs gonna be much tea spilled tbh. I don’t think they’ll be giving any sit down interviews or interviews in general but won’t mind their friends speaking.
I won’t be picking it up unless some good tea is spilled but this isn’t going to be the Morton Diana book everyone wants.
The draw of this book is that the Markle family is going to get aired out. In the end Toxic Tom, Scammy and Jr are useful idiots for the tabloids and they have no real power of their own. If the book reveals Bad Dad did not pay one cent to Northwestern like they claimed and her private schools (and bring receipts) the tabloids and the RRs are going to look incompetent for not vetting them and will damage Daddy’s credibility in the court case. I hope they have proof TT faked the heart attack.
I don’t think she’s going to flame BAd Dad either , it doesn’t seem in her character and I don’t know that rehashing who paid for what during her upbringing really adds any value to the tale.
I say good too. I will definitely buy the book, to read the truth and also to support Omid Scobie who is derided and insulted daily for standing firm on his position.
Exactly. The racist wolves are certainly coming for Omid.
me too.
Ditto this.
I truly don’t get why people think they are going to do a production company- it always feels like a desperate attempt to make them like the Obamas which i find so beyond offensive and frankly like people want to diminish the Obamas who have actually done real work for the world and earned.
I agree with the poster up above the book would be more interesting if it had them post royal life trying to figure out next steps but also have to strike while the iron is hot. So I get the timing.
It won’t be a burn it down type book because whether people like it or not Harry loves his family he is pissed at them but he loves them. Harry while not that bright is smart enough to to know if they go to far they lose. He saw what happened to his mother and he isn’t going to let that happen to his wife or child.
Meghan also seems like she is good at playing the long game and smart. That means don’t scorch earth. Also while I agree with the idea behind her setting up the people cover, I can’t see why should would jeopardize her chase by lying. Honestly if it came out that she was lying about the People article IN COURT then that gives credence to all the stuff in the papers and she will never be able to change that image. So I highly doubt she lied.
Them setting up a production company makes more sense to me than the Obamas who have no prior ties to entertainment. And a production company is a way to get stories and messages out that they believe in plus get a cut of any profits. It could also serve as an umbrella company for other projects they want to do.
I dont’ think it will happen but it offends me when people compare them to the Obamas and try to have them do what the Obamas did. I think it is a blatant attempt to trivialize and diminish the Obamas and its gross.
It’s not a blatant attempt to trivialize the Obamas, for petes sake. Calm down.
when people say that, they mean if you were going to look around at people who changed their income stream and life projects significantly around a certain point in time (Sussexit, end of the Obama administration), and choose who to model yourself after, who would you choose? I don’t think its a reach to say they would probably choose the Obamas.
It doesn’t mean their pre-Sussexit lives were the same as the Obamas lives when they were in the White House. It doesn’t mean they are the equivalent of or better than the Obamas.
It means there is a loose roadmap that they can follow if they want to in terms of how to make a difference and how to make an impact.
I don’t understand why that is such an issue for you.
@Amy, most established actors in Hollywood eventually set up a production company so it’s not like the Obamas did anything groundbreaking. It’s a vehicle to earn income and it makes sense for Harry and Meghan. Most politicians end up writing books and setting up foundations when they retire like the Obamas. Or they go into teaching. So I really don’t get the argument that anything Harry and Meghan do would diminish the Obamas. You could argue that the Obamas are copying Jimmy Carter or the Clinton’s. They all move in the same sphere of politics. I don’t see Harry and Meghan moving into that so no competition.
Because it is not how people are talking it is saying they are like the Obamas it has been said on this site.
And sorry no the Obamas- saved the global economy, reduced poverty to levels we haven’t seen since the 1960s, they created a global environmental pack to save the planet, they reduced childhood obesity and expanded healthcare.
Meghan was an actress and did some charity work and that is fantastic but not the same, and Meghan should be applauded for how hard she worked and what she accomplished in her career but it wasn’t President. and Harry was born into a fancy family that is all Harry did.
Also they said they wanted to do foundations and focus on charity work so why not compare them to the Bush or Clinton families? That is why it bothers me.
@Becks1 I think it’s an issue for Amy because she is making it an issue. It’s a ridiculous argument and it’s hard to take seriously. President and Mrs. Obama will be in the history books forever and that will never change. But to say that Harry and Meghan are wrong for wanting to pattern their careers after them is crazy. From what I have read of the Obamas they are committed to helping others continue the work they started in making the world better. Barack Obama has a mentoring program for black men and Michelle has a program focused on girls education. They are about helping people. I don’t see people like that feeling offended or “diminished” by others who want to join along with them.
I don’t know what to say. I think back to the Omid Scobie Interview they did in Africa and how it made absolutely NO DIFFERENCE to anyone watching who wished ill health on Meg and Harry. They were basically BEGGING for help.
Their family didn’t come to their rescue, the tabloids didn’t stop their insanity.
I have a feeling this is like engaging with an ex. Don’t do it. Let it be. Let it go. Focus on your own life.
I like that they set lies coming out of the tabloids straight. I like that they use their voices. I just don’t know that a book accomplishes much. However, Meg is a master planner and far, far smarter than I. Harry has lived his life around the public. If they feel they have “stuff” to set straight and need to publish? I am behind them and I will purchase the book for sure.
And I guess honestly, getting TRUTH out there is never a bad thing. Not in this day and age.
The book is a way to get their message out there. They are not going to change anyone you mentioned like the family or the tabloids. These people are like die hard Trumpers who will never change. But the book is another way to connect with people which is what they want.
Misam total agree,most royal family’s will do the same thing, bring awareness and recognition to someones else’s hard work and are funded by a tax payer.
I just don’t see Trump funding H&M to do the same role in the us. So how will they stand on their own two feet?
I’d just like to seem accomplish something first.
@B you have heard that because of the coronavirus the world is on lockdown right now, right? So you are not seeing much of anything from anyone other than government leaders. And why would you even think that Trump would be funding then, even though he is not above lining the pockets of his other supporters?
Interesting! If this book is coming out in August, it’s not up on Amazon for pre-order. Even if it was supposed to come out in June of this year, there would have been a pre-order for it. There is a book coming out in May by Duncan Howard about Harry and Meghan.
They should have called the book ‘Get Out: Royal Edition’
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My guess is the book will focus on their philanthropic plans and only gloss over the bad bits. Meghan is far too smart to go scorched earth on the BRF or her own family for that matter, and she’s already proven that she’s really good at playing the long game. And despite what some posters are saying, setting up a production company to highlight their work is a good idea, and Meghan certainly has the contacts to do that. It’s not aping what the Obamas have done, nor is it nothing more than shameless self-promotion. Meghan and Harry have big plans for good works and between them enough star power to make it happen. The jealous Cambridges can go suck a lemon.
I love them and always have, but this book thing…. hope its not true, sounds a bit thirsty
No more thirsty than any of the other royals that have books written about them. Including Kate who has about five books about her. The royals are public figures and people like to read about them. And if you love “them” why wouldn’t you want to learn more about “them”?
yes, of course, but these 2 are held in higher regard apparently by some people, so if they are really better than the other royals, than no book?…. imho 🙂
It’s funny that the people saying “no book” are the ones that don’t seem to hold them in high regard. Harry and Meghan are some of the least “thirsty” public figures I know of. I would never associate them with that term. Personally, I’m looking forward to the book. But I am sure that the fact that there is another book coming out in May that is supposed to be a hatchet job is all the more incentive for them to tell their own story.
So many DM commenters are condemning them for leaving (but honestly they would condemn them worse if they stayed). I acknowledge that a lot of the older royals have dealt with critism, Fergie being called fat and humiliated, and Charles the Tampax man and I’ll admit they took it with good humour which is commendable. Than you have the younger royal William, when Kate married in it began and most of the time (as you see in pictures and headlines) he acted like petulant child and overplayed the Diana card to excuse her lack of work and suing over the sex pictures. But this is almost a decade later, Meghan arrives, now more than ever more people on the net, more criticisms than ever before, lets not ignore that unlike Charles and Fergie it’s not just one journalist in the morningpaper, but everyone is commenting and making their voices heard. That’s why Meghan and Harry had to leave. William lately did eventually backdown once the commenters with republican sentiments voiced their opinions on tax money, and men and women double William’s age have to beg while he being a fully capable male does nothing and gets paid for it. And I dont think Charles would be so bold and good humoured if people kept shoving republican sentiments to his face like they do today. I think Meghan could handle the insults on her appearance and behaviour, but no one likes being called a leach or lazy, they did the noble thing and opted out. SM is a hole new monster.
@ Misam
They are risk over exposure. It’s too soon.
Trump is a reflection of the US government, people are behind him and pushing him forward.
I’m really proud to be British right now because of the NHS. And the work they are doing. I’d happily read a nurses biography.
Girl bye. Harry and Meghan have barely been seen since they left in November 2019. They closed their IG account and are not posting regularly. How in the world are they “overexposed”? The problem is that everyone else has been pasting a different narrative over them. Now it’s time for Harry and Meghan to write their own story. If you don’t want to read it, that’s cool too.
This is a dumb headline.. They’ve only been a couple for “the last few years”, tf were they going to write about before? They’ve talked about their individual lives in detail prior to that! Argh! So stupid!
The book will be one of their income streams. They want to be independent earners and they are figuring it out as they go along. Leave them be.
