Hazz has silver wings, provisional wings of the Army Air Corps, due to his pilot training, in which he supposedly learned to fly the Firefly airplane and the Squirrel helicopter, accumulating approximately 220 flight hours.

Harry, dear, you wouldn’t think we weren’t going to investigate your wings, would you?

I'm a professional googler (i.e., a research librarian) and here's what I found.

The Daily Express has an article from July 2022 about the book that included the tweet Omid posted announcing it: "I can finally share that I'm working on a BRAND NEW BOOK!! So excited to be working again with Carrie Thornton at @deystreet @harpercollins (US) and MsLisaMilton at @hqstories."

Next, when I searched for Scobie and Harper Collins together specifically, I found an article that talked some about the deal: "Scobie sold world English rights to a currently untitled book, set for 2023, to Carrie Thornton at Dey Street. Albert Lee at United Talent Agency brokered the deal on behalf of Scobie." The article's source is the August 2022 Publisher's Weekly announcement (linked within).

Next I looked up everyone these articles ID'd.

Carrie Thornton and Dey Street (which is an imprint of Harper Collins) also published Finding Freedom. Dey Street has the North American's publishing rights.

Lisa Milton is the publishing agent for the UK and Commonwealth rights. (https://www.thebookseller.com/rights/hq-snaps-up-scobies-book-on-the-monarchys-fight-for-survival)

Albert Lee is a literary agent based in NYC. Before becoming a literary agent, he was an editor and a journalist. I think he was also instrumental in publishing Finding Freedom but I haven't been able to find confirmation.

I did try to search for Omid Scobie and Xander, limiting the date range from July 2022 to October 2023 (to exclude this week's tsnuami) but all the search results came back in Dutch, which I don't speak.

well well well, thank youuuuu my darling! let's have a lil Emma publishing lesson, shall we?! disclaimer: this applies only to selling rights for an English book to an English-speaking country, but I often sell my translation rights for my self-pubbed books so I'm used to this.

Publishers will take one of two options: World English, or World Rights. World English is what it says on the tin: English language rights, usually split between US and UK/Commonwealth. With this, you handle foreign translations yourself, although publishers will work together. World Rights is the whole shebang, including translations - when it's this, the publisher then shops around for translations and whatever the foreign publisher pays for it comes off your advance.

World English Rights means he sold just English and held on to foreign translation rights. Dey Street would have then sold the UK/Commonwealth rights to Harlequin, but Scobie's agent would have shopped the translation rights.

They also served....Eight million horses, donkeys and mules died in World War 1, three-quarters of them from the extreme conditions they worked in. At the start of the war, the British Army had 25,000 horses. Throughout the war most of the horses mules and donkeys were purchased compulsory by the government, many had worked on the streets of London. This week-end we should remember all those that served and lost their lives in defence of our country. Least we forget....

It was awesome. Definitely one of the top ten shows I've ever seen. It was put together so well, from the wallpaper to having THE ACTUAL DRESSES FROM THE PAINTINGS IN THE EXHBIT.

Everyone knows ...

But did you know Sargent did this?

I saw the above painting (and others) and gasped. This was so not what I was used to.

Did I mention that they had the actual dresses from the pictures?

NOW FOR SOME OF THE READERS COMMENTS:

Yes Heart of Invinctus NEVER EVER trended, made the top 10 etc., in any country.

It is a photo for the history books - a year ago today, what would prove to be the final image of Elizabeth II was revealed.

It was taken on the off chance but became one of the most famous photos in history. As Queen Elizabeth II waited for the fifteenth Prime Minister of her reign to arrive at Balmoral for the traditional kissing of hands, she posed for quick picture. It wasn’t shared until later that afternoon, once the images of The Monarch and PM had been released. And so, this charming image became the final ever…

If Harry&Meghan's initiative about cyber-bullying is genuine they need to go after their vile group of internet trolls called the SussexSquad, a small group of vicious operators of disinformation, hate and illegal material on the internet.👏👏👏
