As a South African, I was insulted that she wore cheap clothes and left her engagement ring at home - implying she would get robbed of it imo. And putting out a statement about it didn't was just gross. It's like she was warning the criminals in SA lol. I despised the fact they used my country as a backdrop for their woe is me pity party.

It was insulting for MM that has lived her life as a white female to call herself a sister to the SA population.

When Tom Bradby interviewed Harry for his book and Harry denied accusing the Royal Family of racism, Tom Bradby forgot to ask him why he had accepted The Ripple of Hope Award for fighting institutional racism in the RF the previous month.

I can’t with the “black woman” bs…She cannot be serious with that. If Doria wasn’t at the wedding, we’d all be thinking she was Italian or something.

Well done Cheree. Don’t back track on your opinions because some people on here might not like it. ❤

I found it strange when Harry spoke of being traumatized by walking behind Diana’s casket in the procession to her funeral. That has been made into such a big deal, when it seems to me that a typical 12-year-old boy would have been _more_ traumatized if told he couldn’t join his brother, father, grandfather and uncle in honoring his mother in this way. He was lovingly being included and treated like a man, and it is so very sad and strange (to me) that he is resentful about it.

Continue to stand up for your standards. They reflect most of ours.

I want to laud your steadfastness to counter what the critics say in such an articulate manner.

South Africa is one of the most war torn, starving, violent countries in the world. The day she gave that selfish speech she had come from meeting a group of young women learning self defense because the odds of them being raped, gang raped was close to 100%. Some had already been. The goal was to try and avoid being murdered.😢 This is somehow less important than Meghan getting bad press. Also, I LOVE YOU! You have a right to your opinion and your channel is a delight.❤❤❤

I applaud your standards.

Nobody knew Meghan was mixed race until SHE made it an issue

As a side note, I would buy a tshirt that says, "Because the banana said so." I think that's hilarious 😂

Did Harry EVER wonder why EVERYONE 'didn't like Meghan'?????

For me, one of the most horrid events on this tour was her signing a condolence plaque for a young beautiful African woman who suffered a violent death - she changed clothes for the moment, & before the picture was even published, her clothing & accessories were published on ‘Meghan’s Mirror’ & were already for sale. BTW, David Beckham stood in the queue to pay respects to the late Queen, dressed beautifully yin mourning clothes, with the general public, for 13 hours. I’ve never been a fan of the Beckham’s, but he did it quietly and without fanfare, & earned my respect.

“Cosplay poverty”-that’s a perfect description of how these two operate. They demand 5-star accommodation in every circumstance, including media coverage, while at the same time demand that we play along with the fantasy that they are mistreated and deserve sympathy. It never ceases to amaze me how so many people around them are so willing to coddle their delusions and never, ever take a hard line with their foolishness.

I am still shocked by how many people take everything that happens personally. No parking space, something missing from a to go order, etc. The "universe" is intentionally persecuting them. It's exhausting.

There will always be people who disagree, but don't let it get you down, you have standards and principles - good for you 👏👏👏

I die laughing when you do the self-righteous Harry voice. What fools - I cannot believe anyone ever bought into their victim narrative. I am loving your takes on each chapter - thanks-you!

Please don’t let the trolls get to you. They are probably paid to create drama.

To this day, Meghan has been all talk, no action whatsoever. And don't listen to the comments, you are doing a great job. Everyone needs to know the truth, even if it is about someone we like. Hang on girl, you are doing a great job and also really enjoying "Stories I Tell Myself".

I really enjoy when you deviate and go off-script a little to give us your thoughts and opinions. That's why I listen to this book review otherwise I could have just read it myself but I enjoyed your commentary

- Ignore the critics, I think you’re fabulous! I love your Harry voice and my favorite is when you get tickled and throw your head back laughing. Thanks for all the joy you bring. ❤️🙌🏻

As one who has eye sight issues and struggle to read books I really love this channel

I shall never tire of your Harry voice 🎉

Having lived in Cape Town for a number of years, I can tell you that H&M didn't make any difference to the extreme poverty of the black townships. I'll bet she left her ring behind because she feared having it stolen. They were surrounded by heavily armed Police and Military the entire trip. The couple had already tied up their boat at the Oprah harbour. Once in Canada, Oprah got her controversial bestie, Tyler Perry, to offer one of his properties to the duo. In doing so, she had H&M ready for interviews. Oprah had resentment towards the British Royal Family, because she wasn't treated as an icon at the wedding. She and Perry were about to get their revenge. They have destroyed the careers of many young black talent who wouldn't go under Oprah's umbrella. Both Winfrey & Perry demand unquestionable adoration, due to their own percieved inadequacies. Meghan saw Perry as her perfect route to film star status. It didn't happen. Quel surpri.

The interview with Tom Bradby in South Africa was absolutely disgusting. I remember when I first saw snippets on the internet, I felt sorry for her because I didn’t know the context of the setting. Later when I found out how they had complained about their privileged circumstances in front of people dying from AIDS… 🤢🤮 Diana NEVER would have done something so grotesquely selfish.

This is your channel which means you can discuss whatever you want. I’m sorry people are so sensitive 😊

Can you imagine how these truly impoverished people feel having to listen to various charity tourists pass through with their "heartfelt" speeches?

Joni Mitchell belongs to a group of people who would be the first in the line to ‘cancel’ anyone else they caught wearing blackface or not bowing to the Woke agenda. I liked your last video and thought you were spot on! For two people so concerned about “colonialism,” to include any of the so called “conservationists” (whose primary goal seemed to be lecturing the “natives” about how ignorant they were about their own homeland) was the height of hypocrisy.

The South Africa trip really had it all. 1. Bringing Archie literally for the sole reason of a photo-op with the Archbishop--with the bonus for them of "sticking it" to the British press. 2. Meghan and Archie being there *AT ALL* when Meghan barely worked. Waste of time and money. 3. Bringing Archie for the photo, but not bringing him to the mothers2mothers visit where Nutmeg awkwardly insisted that the moms and babies get on the floor, and then gave them Archie's hand-me-downs. 4. As you nailed it, their refusal to be happy and their ceaseless misery, spiraling, circlejerk habits. This was the moment when I knew once and for all that Harry was truly lost. I've been a royal watcher since 2011. Harry trauma dumping and confirming the tension with William on camera is an unmistakable "No No". A deliberate defiance that I knew *HE KNEW* better. They (The BRF) don't do that. No one should air their dirty laundry like that. But in particular a royal duke and duchess, who constantly bitch about their privacy (when they hear things they don't like), on a working trip representing the monarchy and The UK to some of the most disadvantaged people they've ever met, should really shut up. You're at work! The statement. The lawsuits. "...Am I okay?". They're just such wrecking ball, self-destructive, catastrophizing idiots.

People in the Sussex camp are threatened by your bold truthful approach! Keep up the great work! We love you!

Your Harry impersonation is a classic.

Doll, you are doing us an enormous service just by entertaining us with the book highlighting these woke goons! I for one appreciate the company of you and the regulars, I’m still helping with hospice care for my grandfather and I need laughs, it’s HARD TO MAKE ME LAUGH! But your Harry’s impression of the dumb things he chooses to be outraged about keeps me laughing! Let the negative comments roll off your back! Hide em if you need, people should APPRECIATE YOU❤️

I’m glad you didn’t apoligize for what you believe. I think because of your review of Revenge and your insights we have gained even more from the book than we would have by reading the book ourselves.

“Blinking Morse code for help”! Cheere Denise, you crack me up in every video. I laugh out loud constantly!

Thank you for the video. As someone who has often visited Nyanga, here referred to as "SA's murder capital," I can attest that a 30-minute car ride is not particularly challenging, especially when accompanied by a security detail, as they would have been. However, I cannot recall any genuine interest or enthusiasm from friends or colleagues regarding this visit, nor have I heard any reports from the public expressing their admiration. If these individuals seek to explore poverty, violence, and disease, I suggest they investigate Scotland, San Francisco, or even downtown LA as their next destination. The lack of awareness demonstrated here is truly astonishing. Africa should not be treated as a backdrop for personal dramas of the internationally privileged.

Please dont change .I really appreciate all the effort you put in and the insight you share .

Torturing a man who killed a gorilla is wrong. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Any questions about Catherine's beauty can be answered by referencing the photos taken right after she married Wills ..She has always been drop dead gorgeous 😊

You absolutely kill me...."it's not like you're in a hostage situation, blinking Morse code for help "😂😂

I wasn’t born when Stalin and Hitler were in full swing to know they were awful

Omg when she said “we don’t have tabloids there” girl! You grew up in Hollywood! Your dad worked on sets that u went to , you’re a god damn actress?! Wtf I will never get over that statement 😂 it’s infuriating when she puts her naive innocent act because it doesn’t suit her at all

OMG, I'm laughing right out loud! "They're not going to stop until she DIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEES!!!!"

Unrelated, but your hair is BEAUTIFUL!❤

Hi Cheere, thank you for your content. The whole point of a book review is just that. A review, you give your opinion and add context from a broader perspective. I enjoy it and appreciate it all your work. Keep it up! ❤From 🇬🇧

I’ve heard Tom Bower ramble on before about Kate having to “up her game” after Meg appeared on the scene. I don’t think he knows what he’s talking about; Catherine has always looked fabulous. It’s Meghan who’s messy and badly dressed.

I bet it was the best Christmas the RF ever had 😂

This is when I was done with both of them, especially MM, she was surrounded by young girls and women who had trauma from witnessing violence, had been raped and beaten, and no one asked HER if she was ok! 😮😮 I love your videos, and I agree with you on the torture of the poachers, two wrongs don’t make a right. ❤

Torturing poachers is pretty much guaranteed to make the poachers worse-not better.

Girl you know Meghan made a big deal about leaving her ring bc of what happened with Kim K in Paris lol. Also, I loved the last episode and appreciated all that information on who she chose for the list. You’re a teacher so you know people need that information for context, I appreciate you providing it!!

I read Revenge but I love listening to you go through the book. I'm glad you explained about some of the people highlighted by Meghan. I've always found Joni Mitchell a tool. I didn't know the history of Dian Fossey.

I think moral clarity is in short supply these days. I applaud your clear-eyed look. As for torturing torturers, we must remember the old saying, “when you look into the abyss, the abyss is looking back at you.” What is the point of doing good if you lose your humanity along the way?

Your facial expressions when doing the ginger whinger are so good. Giggle. Yes, I like the new book too. I just wanted a few episodes in a row.

Many people can tell about the Bauer book but your insights and commentary are what makes it so interesting. Thank you.

There will always be someone who doesn't like peaches. You know that saying, lol. Your channel is honestly my favorite book review channel! I love hearing your take on things because you're very fair and level-headed. Unlike, H&M, with them it's all emotions. Too much, they're ALWAYS doing too much, it is so exhausting. 😂 36:25 haha, oh goodness, unfortunately it really is crazy talk! You're so funny! 🤣🤭

Regarding the reference to Catherine rebranding herself to match Megain sounds like pure rubbish. Catherine is beautiful inside and out, always dressed impeccably. I totally agree with your thoughts. I enjoy your narrative and your impersonations of H & M often send me into a fit of laughter! Please don't change

I thought your last episode put things into context, it explained markles standards and understanding of life, it showed her for the idiot she is, it was different, perhaps not so entertaining, sometimes the enormity of markles stupidity, when you think of the great opportunities she is passing by, the good she could be doing, it’s sad and grounding, without doubt she will be the subject of many dissertations in the years to come Keep going, I think you’re doing a great job, 👏 👏👏

I seriously appreciated the exposé of the strange list. It really was a stark reminder of the bed-fellows Meghan chooses.

Don't ever apologize for others stupidity!! No matter who you are where you are or what you are. There will always be those that will criticize and cause drama because of their ignorance insensitivity or just plain stupidity. I love your readings I love the way you go in to the background and for your opinions.THANK YOU😊

Your facial expressions while you make the voice is priceless 😂😂

I loved your last episode! I also understand your point of pointing out Megan’s hypocrisy! Your doing great!!!

I agree with your comments regarding Bower assuming William and Catherine were somehow not as attractive or shiny as the gruesome twosome. Although, believe it or not, I was initially not against H & M ( I now despise them) because I wasn't following them closely, it always seemed to me that William and Catherine were the better looking, more graceful and obviously more relevant couple. It was clear H & M were getting a lot of attention just because their story had some appeal and they were a newly minted royal couple, but they were not outshining the real royal couple...Kate and William.

Love you for your sense of humor that gives me SO many belly laughs.. that English voice you have for H is so damn funny…. And speaking of Megan, calling him H, she calls, and H because she can’t stand the name Harry. I knew a woman that would not call her new husband to be fried so she called him by his middle name which was John and nobody called him John nobody ever knew who she was talking about but it was simply because she couldn’t stand the mean Fred so I know this is why she calls him H.

Is it weird that I agree with you on so many issues that I feel like you're my KZfaq 'book club' best friend? 😂 My daughter said: mom, you're weird. No I'm not. Love it. You rock girl!

I’m relaxing in my garden listening to this chapter and I’m sure the neighbours wonder what’s going on when your Harry waagh-ing makes me laugh out loud. You’re such a joy! 🇬🇧❤

When MM said that the British stiff upper lip was probably 'damaging internally', I didn't know whether to laugh or to be astonished. It was amusing because even then she couldn't make up her mind if she was a 'strong independent woman' who, in all likelihood, would need to be resolute and determined in the face of adversity rather than giving into emotion, or the person who is upset if you don't ask her if she's OK. At the same time I found her comment so tone deaf. What she appeared to be insinuating was that tens of millions of Brits were trotting about with internal mental damage. 😄 After the Africa tour, H & M wheeled out Tom Bradby to issue what I thought was a thinly veiled threat to the RF. He spoke to the Daily Mail and in that article warned that the couple could do a tell-all interview. Now that we have the benefit of hindsight, the Sussexes and Oprah probably had that interview already lined up. I wonder how it would have gone if the Queen had allowed them the half-in, half-out status that they wanted? My theory is that their vendetta against the RF is because she said "no" to that demand. If she hadn't, the Susssexes would have full IPP status and, because they would be seen as the Queen's representatives overseas, diplomacy would have required the US and elsewhere to accord them the same status as William and Catherine. They probably would have had red carpet treatment, while their mailboxes could be stuffed with invitations from all the right people and organisations. I don't think many realise just how the Queen pulled the rug out from under their feet when she said "no".

I think not torturing people is the closest thing to a moral absolute there is. Just me, though. I will never be okay with it, no matter who it is. It's a legitimate slippery slope.

I’m resting after removal of two wisdom tooth yesterday and it seemed like I’ve ran out of your content (even listened to first chapters of spare, which I wasn’t interested in) your voice and commentary is very interesting, but in a calming way just perfect for relaxing or healing))) hope it looks like a compliment I appreciate your videos very much

I am so glad you brought out the point about Tom saying Catherine was made over to look as good as Meghan. I have always wondered why Tom and other media personalities said this. Catherine has always been classy and beautiful and there is no comparison between her and Meghan. Meghan has always been a mess in her looks and actions.

I feel sorrier for the poor elephants, than I do for Harry and Meghan. As for Meghan being a woman of colour... in the words of Procol Harum, she 'turned a whiter shade of pale'

I think your opinions are extremely valid (and in my view, very insightful). This all had to be brought up to highlight Meghan’s hypocrisy.

“Never complain, never explain”? Isn’t that the mantra of the Royals? Those two spewed lies and complained constantly. She should have kept her big pie hole shut, but it just showed how they were working to separate themselves from the British people.

We love you! A suggestion from somebody who has been online since the early 90s, (me) before there was a web: don’t show weakness. Never complain, never explain! The more you explain negative comments or even touch on them, the more they will happen. Just be yourself. Most will understand where you are coming from and those who don’t, well , they can unsub. Or they can keep up in comments, but don’t address it. If you start arguing, you will damage your channel. ❤

I loved your comments on the last chapter. It was wonderful & honest in analysis & you presented facts. Don’t let the Woke bullies get away with their stupidity! Too many of us respect you & enjoy the heck out of your readings & discussion about the book & the times! Wonderful work absolutely funtastic!

You know, I think if he wasn't asked to walk behind the coffin he'd be venting now how he wasn't asked.

I love your meanderings such as they are , they add depth and insight, please don’t change your style. I shall greatly miss “ Harry’s voice” 😝 at the end of Revenge , so amusing and spot on.

Megan’s rag of a wedding dress looked nothing like Caroline Bessett Kennedy’s dress !

Cheere I have to say that I personally actually loved the last chapter you read, the thing that I absolutely adore about your channel is that you do elaborate, you dig further into the context then just the written words on the pages, you actually offer education along with your reading and I am so grateful for that. I learnt so much that I didn’t know in the last chapter. I actually commented about the poachers and said virtually what you just said, you don’t torture someone because they torture others, because by doing that, you are then just as bad as they are, you educate the poachers so they stop what they are doing. Please ignore anyone who is leaving you horrible comments, this is your channel, not theirs and it’s not like your forcing them to watch. It makes me so upset when people think it’s ok to leave nasty comments, it’s not ok, the best gift we can give each other in this big wide world is kindness. Just like the good old saying my parents use to tell my sibling and I when we were growing up and the same advice I gave my children when they were growing up too “if you don’t have something nice to say to someone, then don’t say anything at all” Please definitely keep elaborating on things while you read the books in our wonderful little book club here, I think it’s wonderful and knowledge is another gift just like kindness is, we are all so very lucky that you share your knowledge with us all. Thank you sweetie ❤🥰❤️

The point of leaving the expensive ring at home is so that it doesn't get stolen in SA. Living in SA I can totally understand the sentiment, although this fact could have stayed under wraps. At best it is insulting to suggest that, as heavily guarded as they were here, those poor people who received them with the best they possessed, would have stolen her ring. It still irks me when I see pictures of the Harkles eyeing the SA delicasies that had been served to them at these meetings as if they were too high and mighty to eat it. South Africans love sweet things and these hostesses would have served the royal couple with the best they had (koeksisters, milktart), using their best crockery. I saw those photos and winced inwardly. The Harkles looked as if they had been served mopani worms.

I listened to your opening comments with interest and surprise. The backgrounds on the women chosen for the Vogue issue was news to some and a helpful review for others, but definitely highlighted several poor choices and that once again another Markle effort had skated through without scrutiny. Isn't the whole point of a channel like this to provide back stories, insight and a point of view? I, like many here, appreciate your take on the books chosen, the voices that are used and the comments and perspectives that are interjected in your videos. For those not interested in the 'extras' you provide, perhaps a regular audio book would better accommodate their needs. For the rest of us, keep up the great work!! I'm looking forward to seeing your new 'broadcast booth' in DC - the white patch at the bottom of the window trim triggers my OCD! 😎

I learned things about Diane Fosse, Jonie Mitchell and Tony Morisson I did not know. Thank you. I love your channel and sense of humour. PLEASE don't stop!!

Good for you sticking to what you said last episode. Bravo.

Cheree you forgot it was harder for Harry, then it was William because William got an extra sausage every morning

Excellent video! You are engaging and funny and your level of frustration with them is something most people can identify with.

Hi Cheere, thanks for making another video. Regarding the critics, I'm not saying you do but I think it's important that you don't take it personally. A lot of people can only see life from the perspective they've lived. A lot of your followers like me actually like it when you diverge a bit and include your opinions on the channel. You just can't please everyone so I say just be yourself, those that interpret what you say in a negative way, well that's their business. Enjoy your day!

Oh my gosh, such a good episode! I have so many thoughts, but mainly that they’re both unhinged! Im in uk and dont read tabloids but know everyone takes them with a pinch of salt. I heard no racism towards her. I remember the interview with TB & turned to my husband and said WTF?! With a glint in her eye & a smug kind of smile, her words didn’t match her body language. it was baffling to why she was on the news complaining that no one asked if she was ok, was she really so fragile? Throwing her toys out the pram so publicly, embarrassing the RF by behaving like that. It was obviously planned so just came across as catty & deliberate. It was clear at this point they were going rogue and had no class. Also, rather than insulting the Beckhams, they could have done with listening to their advice about how to survive with your family in the limelight but still maintain privacy and discretion!

On William's 13th birthday Diana bought him a 'Boobs' cake and arranged a visit with 3 supermodels. Harry, 11 at that time, said he wanted a 'boob' cake too. Diana said Harry got 'all the girls' but had trouble 'keeping them', aged 11! He was not a little tiny baby back then the way he is now.

Don’t ever change, I don’t believe you will. I love how you have strong morals and sticking to them.your are a woman of common Since, it’s a rarity today. ❤❤❤

Your reenactment of Meghan and Harry practicing their narrative was hysterically funny😂😂😂😂! Harry’s accent!!😂😂😂

If Joni Mitchell did that today it would generate all kinds of controversy so I agree with your opinion. And thank you for sharing.

Love your readings and your standards.

The last episode was excellent, I learned things I didn't know about some of those well known women..I agreed with everything you said 👏🏿🇬🇧

9:00 “Sometimes, it’s hard to get out of my $50,000 bed in my multi-million dollar house in the morning…” Puhlease! I so despise rich whingers who pretend to give a shite solely for a tax write-off.

Love your channel. Came for revenge, then watched spare me the details. I absolutely love your commentary. Don’t change a thing!

Maybe Tom Bower is remembering the brief 9 months when Catherine was pregnant with Louie - which coincided with Harry & Meghan’s engagement & wedding? Catherine is an absolutely beautiful pregnant woman always, but thanks to the natural changes as well as her well-known life-threatening illness during pregnancy, she happened to look a little tired and obviously heavier than Meghan. I’ve always believed it went to the narcissist’s head to come out on the world stage looking her best exactly when Catherine was in that very particular stage. She thought she would always be superior in the glamour & looks - it was extremely short-lived & she couldn’t stand it!

The criticism you received were petty and absurd. Glad you addressed them and very glad you stood your ground.

Highlight whatever you will highlight. This is your platform and one that is very informative. Thank you for the work you put into your episodes. I look forward to listening as I'm sure so many others do.

Calling someone out on the standards by which they purport to live either as critique of hypocrisy or a more likely lack of any work in understanding the real life and value of an individual as an exemplar is not a problem, Cheere Denise. Please don't shy away from digressions that's one of the most appealing aspects of your commentary. Btw, I'm not original in pointing out that Meghan seems perpetually stuck in the 90s. At that time, Diane Fosse and Jane Goodall would have both been highly regarded by a naive high schooler.

Diverge diverge diverge as much as you like I love it PlLEASE don’t stop . ❤️❤️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

People shouldn’t have to tell you their positive traits. If you’ll notice Princess Catherine never says “I’m a genuinely caring person and I enjoy meeting the public.” We can *SEE* these traits in her demeanor. And Charles doesn’t tell us he’s affable and intellectual. These traits shine through. So the more Meghan tells us what an amazing little ball of sunshine she is the less I’m inclined to believe her.
