I always believed that Diana persuaded Fergie to divorce Andrew. Either way they were two very immature ‘girls’

[@janemacdonald3732]

The British Press in the late 80s and all through the 90s was 1 huge cespit thanks to Bob Maxwel And Rupert Murdoch. They started a war between tabloids and as press titles came up for sale they snapped them up, promising the readership they're would be no change in editorial policy. This led to the feeding frenzy on celebrities and royals. It also led to newspaper editors bullying anyone and everyone to get whatever stories they wanted. We as a family gave up reading any news papers, as did many others. But Maxwell and Murdock still carried on slugging it out to control the press. Then they moved into TV new that's how we now have wall to wall celebrity gossip instead of actual news

[@thevintageread]

[@googlamonster5086]

As far as James Hewitt, I have to say that he did have his side of the story. I'm not anti-Diana, but I think her part in it has been glossed over. His life was really destroyed whether he told his side of the story or not. I remember reading his book when it came out, and I don't recall his having said anything bad about her. Their relationship had already been exposed. He would have been better off not having met her.

[@thevintageread]

I haven’t read his book yet! I think a lot of normal people get damaged when they get entwined with Royalty…He well may be one of them…out of his depth!

[@abbatrouble]

Piers should have done a book about Diana's numerous love affairs. Everyone in Diana's circle knew that she was a serial cheater but the public was unaware and still thought she was a saint.

[@thevintageread]

On the other hand, Diana was faithful until after Harry’s birth when she decided that since Charles was still seeing his old girl friend since before they were married, she would seek love elsewhere.

I had a better opinion of Piers _before_ this book! His tactics seem awful to me. Although who goes to a meeting with an editor thinking it's just an innocent lunch... Point aside, the real casualty of all these recent books is Diana, or rather Diana's saintly image. As more comes out, we see how she must have been quite difficult to deal with (Fergie being outright impossible).

[@lisap9936]

Yes my opinion of Piers has suffered too! 😥🤨🥹

[@Lazydaisy646]

We know Diana wasn't saintly but she did do a lot of good in the world .

[@ppm4eva]

Roughly 12 - 15 years ago Andrew Denton interviewed Dame Elisabeth Murdoch on his TV program, `Elders'. Apart from her being as sharp as a tack (no mean feat for someone pushing the 100 mark) I remember Andrew carefully asking her about Rupert. Her answer, while carefully delivered, was rather telling. It went something like: "I don't always agree with everything Rupert does or says, but what I usually say when asked this question is that he's a wonderful father, and a very good son." For me, there is so much there that she wasn't prepared to articulate in a public interview.

[@thevintageread]

I saw that too! What a wonderful lady she was, I loved her in that interview 💗

[@notbill08]

Obviously, Kensington Palace wanted to return the letters hoping they would go public. Princess Diana was already starting to get Martyr/Sainthood status even before she died!

I put Piers Morgan in the same category. I wouldn't even want to hear his take on the betrayer of his family and his wife.

Listening to you describe Diana not speaking to Sarah for a year because she disclosed that Diana had plantar warts, I suddenly understand where Harry gets his stubbornness. There were many wonderful things about Diana, but that was absolutely no reason to stop speaking to Sarah. I can understand being cross, but in a way that lasts a day or two, not a year.

@@tricianilsson6870 Why does anyone say anything? Sarah probably thought it was quite harmless. There’s no reason to be embarrassed about plantar warts. They happen.

The trouble with writing a book about yourself is the stories involve other people, and often one violates their privacy in telling your story. Discretion is the better part of valor indeed -- and is in short supply! As for James Hewitt, yes he is a cad. He was willing to cuckold the heir to the throne, cooperated with an indiscreet book about Diana, and was willing to sell Diana's private love letters to him for the right price/ conditions. The tabloids don't come out of this smelling of roses either, but one must own one's own part.

Why was MM able to claim ownership of it, if it was not legally hers? She should pay back her £1 compensation to the courts.😂

Well copyright is different from physical ownership. The owner was James Hewitt however the copyright belongs to the writer I believe.

The media landscape in the 1980s and 1990s was certainly as you say the Wild West.

Hi Shauna! You and I must have encountered a similar experience. If someone runs across information that they KNOW is something NOT for them to share, you don't. It is called integrity. That is why some jobs can only go to people with no conscience. I would have to answer to myself, and God.

[@GurjitKaur-q1g]

I don't know about Piers ethics, from back in the day as a newspaper editor. But going by what I see on screen now, and not always agreeing with him. He seems measured, not afraid to give his opinion, even when unpopular, or against the grain, has even owned on TV, when wrong, and stands corrected on issues. When he has guests on, to contribute to a topic, has people from every extreme of view, e.g Harry and Meghan, from a die hard fan, to not. Let's not forget, if he hadn't voiced his opinion on Harry and Meghan, to extent he did, he was enemy number one, labelled the biggest racist, lost his job. And hasn't he been proven write, to point people can openly call them out, without an onslaught of abuse now.

[@waterloosunset4559]

Hi Shauna, I’m glad you are seeing Morgan’s moral character for what it is. However, on the opinions he has it is easy to agree with him on most things, but he is no better than Markle for jumping on the latest bandwagon and feeling the latest zeitgeist. He is very entertaining, and knows a lot of famous people, but he’s a hypocrite. Publishing fake photos of our soldiers - despite his own brother being a veteran. Knowing about a murdered girl’s phone being hacked (he was the editor of course he did) giving her poor parents false hope. He says he was friends with Diana, but she invited him to KP once for lunch to meet William to get him to stop publishing articles about her and the Princes. They had one lunch or trust me that would have been in his diaries, monthly meetings with the Princess. To those who say there are many photos of them together, these would be functions, not tete a tetes. Like Markle he knows where the cameras are. Look what he said about Trump. Compared his response to the pandemic to Markle’s saying hers was more heartfelt. Trump gave him a job when he was unemployable over here due to the fake photos and hacking scandals. he put him on the apprentice thus leading the way to him getting the late night talk show where he told Americans to surrender their arms. He’s a snake, and just as bad as Markle, in my opinion.

[@thevintageread]

Yes I agree only only lunch with Diana…monthly with Fergie 😉

Now I am asking why Meghan Markle has claimed and was supported by a Crown court, that letters she sent to her father belong to her? It is bizarre!

Physical ownership is distinct from copyright ownership...Meghan's case was based on the latter I believe! 😀

Di seemed to have a trait of falling out with people and not speaking to them when it suited her.Dropped James Hewitt completely because he went to Afghanistan with his soldiers,rather than renaging on his mates and duties and stay at home loving her, even Dodie said that Di demanded to be adored ,life doesn't work that way.

I watched the lost tapes of Diana and how she talks about her affairs. How her mother walked away from the family. How people thought she was a real bore at the beginning and took all those lessons to become a better public speaker. It’s really interesting because it’s her speaking. She’s telling her stories. She also learned to use the media to her advantage instead of working against them. Piers may be a narcissist but he also calls out Prince Williams brothers wife. He still is respected to the monarchy. I wonder how much the palace had to give to media over the years because of the behaviour of their members??

I am like you in that I enjoy a good gossip without malice and I do watch Piers Morgan on occasion for the tyrannical drama. Something I have noticed is that presenters, like Piers, become very comfortable in the persona that they want us to see that they actually relax and facets of their true character begin to show. Sometimes I go Uh Oh so there you are when I spot those slips but what really happens is that over time an accumulation of hints of true character either verbally or in their body language occur so that instead of revelatory moments there is more a shift in how I feel about them. In Piers Morgan’s case I started out, earlier , in a fairly neutral frame of mind and even began to enjoy his verbal attacks and style but now I find him distasteful and the nuances in language and his body language, mostly facial, give me an uncomfortable feeling about him. I have learned to trust in my long life my instincts formed from my life experiences so I give him more misses than views now and I feel more comfortable myself because I do. Your presentations are so enjoyable because I feel that what I see & hear is what I get. Open, honest and entertaining. Thank you. Aussie Old Lady

Pierce may have learned his lessons. Nobody is perfect. I am willing to give Pierce a chance.

[@thevintageread]

Of course! He published this book because he wanted to document it himself.

Its called Morals and Ethics and you have both Shauna, dont ever change. You make me laugh and the seriousness of some of your comments are true to form. Keep on keeping on, there isnt many people in the media that have set their standards at a level where pointing things out can hurt others for whatever reason. You could be offered millions of dollars but IMO I can see you would live in a shed before taking money in such a immoral way because that would mean guilt would probably eat you up. Congratulations, keep doing what you're doing. You'll be loved by more people than you realise. And dont forget either, OPINIONS are just that, OPINIONS and we are all entitled to them because we have that right to state them or not.💜❤

😘💗 Thanks x

[@carolbythesea]

I’m confused. Piers Morgan is disclosing what an awful person he is in HIS book? Why would anyone portray themselves like that and admit to so many dishonest deeds?

[@thevintageread]

I think he just thinks that is what the job entailed… also I think he wanted to tell before anybody else did!

[@carolbythesea]

@@thevintageread that makes sense, thanks

[@anniebee9038]

As usual , very entertaining ! In my youth , I was appaled by the american politics , of digging dirt on the candidates... Something that never happened in canada in those days, we respected their private lives... Not so sure now.... Still, it is a shame...

[@pi1986]

I was reading comments on dreadful Piers, and I can't help feelimg we forget everything, everyone, all of us were different decades ago. Think how beating a wife could almost be a domestic issue, and for some a private affair. I tend to think he now is a person of this time, just like the rest.

[@kimberleygirl7533]

I have to say I don’t think the media are much better now. If I was honest I think they are worse.

[@thevintageread]

You might be right!

[@deannenorris4214]

What about the chickens??? Who's taking care of the chickens?????

[@thevintageread]

😂

[@silva7493]

Oh, no. I wouldn't .. make that COULDN'T work for a Rupert Murdoch, or a Rupert Murdoch wannabe in any form. I'm proud of you, sister !!!

God is watching......

[@dv7361]

Many of us dislike Meghan for her character, lies and treatment of her husband’s family. Piers, I think, hates her because she’s like him. I bet she frustrated him a lot with her antics which were things Piers himself would do, albeit much more discreetly

[@user-fyv9y79wv]

Agree toxic pit for those 3. Rebecca Brooks seriously corrupt

[@fuferito]

Stephen Fry's brilliant pun that "English countryside is the murder of Pierce Morgan" Fits well with the story.

[@LAllan-ls5er]

Right off topic , Shauna - but Lady C ‘S latest video has an excellent comment 600 or 700 ‘ likes ‘ Re MM channeling Princess Diana . Her follower says it all so succinctly Worth a read . Further off topic - Tom Bower trying to be sensational again? Tom Bower feeds on gossip and can be a nasty smirking smart aleck, IMO Remember old fashioned SNAP card game ? He reminds me of The Old Maid .

[@maryh4650]

I am with you, I haven't even read James Hewitts book, live by the sword, die by the sword, doesn't have to be taken literally.

[@kymdagnall8344]

It'd blackmail by another name. It's a bit of James Bond microphones hidden in plants. You definitely have to remove your moral compass in that line of work. You have to wonder how Murdock slept at night.

[@Lazydaisy646]

I saw a TV interview with JH and I found him absolutely creepy..sitting in a bubble bath smoking a pipe and skiting about the size of his todger. He came across as a very unlikeable person who was very spoilt. I wanted to like him but , nope

[@thevintageread]

Oh! I'll have to look that one up!

[@laurielovett8849]

Don't tell me he was obsessed with his todger too, I thought that was only an obsession of his son. Father and Son ( The Two Todgers)sounds like a double tap dancing act

[@lfc286]

Did James Hewitt end up marrying that woman who sold his letters? Piers Morgan is an interesting character with questionable morals.

[@thevintageread]

Very interesting! Just don’t get too close! 😂 No he didn’t marry Anna!

[@dibryan5061]

Another fascinating video🌻. Rupert Murdoch is a ruthless man and has no moral compass IMO. Loathe to see the many bodies he has stepped over in his many decades of being a media mogul. As for the way he treats women ugh!

[@thevintageread]

I agree! Not a huge fan myself.

[@dc2london]

Thank you; another enjoyable video. To answer your moral goalposts question, I believe that you "reap what you sow". Most of us will work a situation to our advantage, and that will often be "at a cost" to someone else - how else do YOU get the job and S/HE does not, that sort of thing. But to abuse a situation to solely benefit yourself to the detriment of someone else or to take an action solely for the purpose of harming someone else, well, karma's a b*tch and she hurts a lot more when she's had time to work up speed. And to what end behaving that way? Because rarely does a negative/abusive action result in a "clean getaway", even if it is "only" your own conscience eating away at your soul.

[@purpurina5663]

In my opinion and experience, the best moral shortcut is never lie. Lies (whether by action or by omission) just indicate something is wrong. And if you think a lie may spare someone's feelings, think that the other person has a right to the truth.

[@thevintageread]

Yes that is a realistic view! I think I tend to take a romantic view of things sometimes! 😂

[@valerieforbes8096]

All the people involved are nasty people.

[@dianelee2318]

Piers is a mischievous goblin.

[@thevintageread]

[@BevHart]

Piers Morgan got Markled😂

[@charmainepriestman915]

I like Piers Morgan cad or not 😂

[@thevintageread]

😂 Many do!

[@maryl8753]

Ah Shauna " to thine own self be yrue" etc etc. I think You have to be able to look yourself in the eye in the mirror and not cringe at what you see.
