Ham pr disasters 55! …no neither David Attenborough or John major will be head of state! ….

But I think she's completely unaware of that.

I don't know the details of this but I can imagine this has blown up at a moment not of her choosing and commercial decisions as to ad placements etc are mad long before and probably not done by her either but her team. But if you want to find each and every potential transgression and used it to beat her so be it.

She's wildly out of touch though. Asking that child in a working class part of Nottingham if they'd ever been to California, and shutting down the boy who asked about the car! Not got the regular folk vibe.

And we, as Women and as Mothers, have a Voice.

*Claps myself 👏 👏 👏 👏

Silence means complicity, right?

I wonder if she's decided to try and appeal to a different audience. Her die-hard supporters all seem to be from a very low socio-economic background. Perhaps she has seen an opportunity to expand and build on this with The Sun, the tabloid of choice for that demographic? That could've been behind the choice of the Nottingham industrial estate too. Try to position themselves as the opposite of the RF, the hero's of the council estates? There is money in that market, although she'd have to massively lower her prices, and they could see themselves as morally superior to snooty royals. I doubt Meghan has heard of Eva Peron but I could imagine her trying for that kind of role. Obviously she would fail as it would be an act with no real effort towards anyone. But there are those in society who are vulnerable to blind adulation and hero worship. Which is what Meghan wants. She's never completely given up on the idea of Diana 2.0 'the people's princess' fantasy.

Particularly as she's always tried to position herself as a brave whistleblower who won't be silenced, calls people out and shines a light on things others look away from.

The reality is, there will be months of stories, people will question her inaction over time, this will never disappear for Meg,

Families often have to carry the stigma of others crimes but we are seeing inaction from Meghan which carries it own stigma.

you can’t operate an aspirational lifestyle brand, when the reality of your life is pretty harrowing.

It’s going to be drip, drip of stories that will erode her social standing.

I do feel sorry for her kids and having to go to school with all this in the press.

There's not much that would surprise me about Meghan but even my eyebrows went up at her using this as an opportunity to flog her wares.
Surely proves that there is nobody advising her because that was an insane decision, to put an As Ever ad in The Sun along with her news story/statement about CSA. I'm genuinely flabbergasted. She's lost the plot. "I'm devastated my dad has likely sexually abused children, here's a link to buy my signature teapot". WTF

I'm putting a strictly metaphorical bet on the DM having done a lot of digging and just waiting to release it.

I think the door has closed for any RF ham reconciliation.

It’s a shit show. Meghan making claims. TMJr getting photos taken next to the ‘evidence’ like a game hunter.

The Sun and TMJr’s expert all over the evidence before the authorities. That’s never going to end up in court, their actions have made the evidence inadmissible.

Compare and contrast to the measures way that William handled the illegal phone hacking, which resulted in successful prosecutions and the Leveson enquiry

Or the Royal family, starting with Mountbatten and Prince Philip. Then carrying through with Charles and Andrew. It's quite sickening how widespread pedophilia and child abuse is. People are praising William to high heaven (for existing and being made into a billionaire?) But the silence has got to end. It won't wash with the new generations.

I very much doubt the letter was sent to a minor police dept very few people even know exists.

As I theorised above, it's much more likely that the letter was initially sent to Meghan, intercepted by staff and then sent on to the 'Fixated Persons' dept. In any case, the existence of said letter should never have been made public. But as we've seen from their 'security fight', neither Harry nor Meghan has any concept of confidentiality and discretion.

I still think this could be a PR win or her. It vindicates her utterly in her choice to have nothing to do with her father and not allow him to meet her DC, something that she has been widely criticised for over the years.

That statement that she put out, I bet she's been sitting on it - or a version of it - for years. She must've known that the story was likely to come out at some point and she's been waiting for that day since 2018. Knowing how she loves to clap back to any story that she feels is untrue or unfair, it must've just about killed her this past 8 years to not be able to say anything and to just have to wait patiently until the day she got to have her say.

Having said that, the journos have been busy this past 24 hours. The DM has two articles now - one is Amanda Platell asking 'Is this the point where we should all feel sorry for Meghan?' and the other asking 'Why did Meghan describe herself as a Daddy's Girl in the Netflix doc in 2022'. There is going to be a lot of digging and creating of timelines and looking up what she said and when.

Timing is weird.

The Sun had the exclusive from Markle jnr and exclusives from Meg.

We know Markle jnr would have more than willing to work with the press. The Sun play ball and get the info they need. Now they go to Meg for a right to reply and work a deal with her that they get her exclusives too. She’s VERY eager to get her side out. She even thanks the Sun!!!!

interestingly, it comes out the week after their pseudo royal visit. So they still got their big day out.…….
