She grew up white, never worked while in school, wasn't present with uprisings in Los Angeles, did not live in poverty in a small converted garage in Hollywood with her father, and was not bullied in school as a mixed-race child. She did not work her way through college all by herself. Did not happen. Daddy paid all the way. She claimed she spent ten years of her life on the set of Married With Children in the afternoons after school. Nope, it was her Friday afternoon treat only. She also claimed that she spent her 'entire senior year' working at the US embassy in Argentina, when it was only five weeks.

While this is not the kind of book I would normally read, I was annoyed to hear from American friends that it was being ‘suffocated’ in the USA by the Sussexes’ PR firm to protect their ‘brand’. So, I borrowed the audiobook from the library and obtained the ebook via Kindle Unlimited.This includes allegations that the Duchess threw a cup of tea in the air during a Royal tour, while the Queen was said to be pleased she couldn't attend Prince Philip's funeral.

Single-handedly, and for considerable financial gain, the Sussexes had tarnished the Queen's global reputation for unblemished decency. To their harshest critics, they had become agents of destruction. The police rule the death a suicide but the grieving parents can't accept their beloved Emma would take her own life. They need to find out what really happened, and they turn to their former bodyguard, Shelley, for help. After reading Patterson’s new book and the potential beginning of a new series, there is surprisingly good news to share.That being said, I more or less knew that, sooner or later, I would likely end up reading something on these two. The author never says it out loud, nor does it write it down, but I believe he sees the pararells with the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and how that story ended....talk about another cluster& Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
