Well, there is a lot of news going on, but it is rare when you have a piece of cultural news that is so big it sort of eats everything else.

And that is what is happening with the release of Prince Harry's new book spare. Now, as I've said before, I'm not big into the Royals. I don't really follow the Royals all that much.
