This tablet as a memorial to Paul Revere is erected by the Paul Revere Memorial Association to commemorate the opening to the public on April 19, 1908 of his old house at No. 9 North Square in this city. May the youth of today when they visit this old house be inspired with the patriotism of Paul Revere






No matter what the truth is in regards to claims/counterclaims of Royals/H & M via direct (book/interviews) or indirect (leaks to the press) means, it seems that the time frame bookmarked by the death of Queen Elizabeth (September) and the coronation of King Charles (May) was a golden opportunity for a "rhetorical ceasefire" by all. 

I think it is a fair assessment in saying that when H & M decided to release their scathing mini-series via Netflix in early December, followed a month later with the release of H's scathing tell-all book, H & M relinquished any reasonable current/future reconciliation by essentially eviscerating said "rhetorical ceasefire."  

Maturity should have dictated any continuation of rhetorical warfare by H & M be put on hold for said death/coronation timeframe. Instead, H & M lost any claim to moral outrage by throwing rhetorical bombs and forcing   the Royals to state they need to correct the record.










When the Queen died in September, followed shortly thereafter by the early October announcement of the May coronation, moral maturity should have guided Harry and Megan to the conclusion that any continuation of the "they said/we said" rhetorical warfare should have entered a ceasefire until the coronation was complete.

Instead, H and M decided to perfectly dissect said death-to-coronation time period by releasing a scathing Netflix series in December followed by Harry's equally scathing tell-all book a month later, thus guaranteeing an escalation of the public feud. 

Regardless of whether one has the truth to back up one's claims, as the saying goes, "Timing is everything." H & M had a grand opportunity to appear considerate and fair by allowing the royal coronation to take it's course and to then resume activities as they saw fit. In the meantime, said delay may have added another grand chapter or two to the tell-all book, chapters that may have instead allowed the acrimonious relationship narrative to achieve a happier "soft landing." Well...that ship has sailed.

(I've seen a couple comments online claim that the series and book had "hard" release dates. As Col. Potter would say, "Horse hockey!" Dates can always be changed. The fact is the published timing of said series/book guaranteed more sensational sales $)
