I felt like that about theSex and the Citymovies.MORGAN: I felt that way about the secondBridget Jonesmovie.
But with Freddie, we felt like hes the supporting character in your favorite show.
You love him in the right doses.
We didnt want to burn the Freddie goodwill by leaning on him too heavily.
We didnt necessarily want the second book to feel like its tracing the line of whats currently happening.
Shes not like Queen Elizabeth at all.
As far as we know.
Because obviously so much of this is just you projecting on people anyway.
What was it like seeing Meghan Markle become part of the royal family?
Exciting?COCKS: It was extremely trippy.
This sort of leaped off the page, more or less in real life.
A lot of people were like, This is great material for your sequel!
and were like, No, we already did it.
Surreal is the only real world I can think of.
Its the second time thats happened to us.
It just comes back to maybe were psychic in really unproductive ways.
It just felt arrogant and irresponsible to tell that story from the outside.
I would like to read it.
Thats not an unheard-of problem in the history of the royal family.COCKS: Its meant to be multi-layered.

Theyre inside dealing with their s, and Bex is a casual person.
Maybe in our book, it didnt happen.MORGAN: We dont mention Brexit.
Do you know if anyone in the royal family or adjacent to it has readThe Royal We?
I just would like her to go outside holding it.
Or both of them together.
They could reunite for book club, holding the book, reading the book in the park.
You didnt initially plan a sequel, but what about now?
I think theres always something.
And spoiler, not everyone is dead at the end of the book.
