@Bluntness100

That statement is a masterclass in public relations. It shuts it down and is dignified and classy. And quite frankly puts Harry and Meghan in their place and makes their actions look really quite grubby. Sometimes less is more.

I feel embarrassed for them.

I welcome to go tell ebery other poater on here airing gather dirty laundry out on a social media platform to the public for anyone to read to go deal wothbjt privately...off you tot...and don't there isnalso Facebook too, lots of people need to be told how their actions are grubby for publicly speaking about their 'private issuss'

So the rent a gobs did the equivalent of creating over a years worth of drama with the crescendo which was the embarrassingly cringeworthy interview. Then they stop to wait for a reaction and RF goes ‘hey is everything ok?’ Priceless.

Roussette · 09/03/2021 19:09

Of course Harry didn't expect a long winded reply from BP.

They have never ever done that. They're hardly likely to start now. It would either be nothing or the short statement they put out.

Roussette · 09/03/2021 19:11

Rent a gobs?
Can't you write a post without endless juvenile insults?

Yes, most amusing.

He'll end up a sad lonely old man as I bet his use by date is very nearly up. Or can they keep milking these allegations?

Once they are no longer royal insiders, their use by date will be up pretty quickly, I'd say.

I haven't seen Suits. Is Megan a good actress, does she have that to fall back on? I don't think Harry has much to fall back on.

So you think a man who grew up in the Firm, who described the relationship between the RF and the press, and how the press need to wined and dined to publish the right 'stuff' and who described how trapped Charles and William are in that system, is going to suddenly forget all that and expect a public outpouring of verbal diarrohea?

Yes, I think it's possible that he did expect there to be more of an attempt to elaborate on everything that was said. I think he may have expected a public apology as he clearly feels very aggrieved and that they have been treated very badly. I think he now sees things in a very different way and is very invested in the way of life they now have, and he comes across as the kind of person who struggles to accept that other people see things differently.
The whole tone and feel of the interview and their own business ventures are far more geared towards a younger US audience, and it has only taken a year for him to be completely beguiled by life in California. To me, the statement released today by BP is perfect, but there will be many people, especially in the US, who will think it shows that the RF are cold, unfeeling monsters.

longwayoff · 09/03/2021 19:14

Oh well done H&M you've rid us of the hideous Piers Morgan. I reckon Charles should hand over the cash for that alone. The country thanks you.

TheHamsterCatcher · 09/03/2021 19:15

M+H - 2 hours of whinging

BP - U Ok Hun?

I think the whole lot of them should be banished to an uninhabited island somewhere and just left to argue amongst themselves while we become a republic. Or a dictatorship with me in charge. Either would be fine.

cyclingmad · 09/03/2021 19:15

Now they've had their say, now they aren't not taking tax papers money will you all move on and leave them alone and not be interested in what they do in the US?

Roussette · 09/03/2021 19:17

As if !

Sure, maybe when we get a refund for the £40 million wedding.
Bunnyfuller · 09/03/2021 19:18

That sermon was not 12 minutes!😂😂😂😂

Roussette · 09/03/2021 19:19

Ahhh.... maybe Andrew & Fergie need to pay back theirs too! They split up and he isn't working in the RF.
Perhaps Charles also... after all, he was having affairs and had a v expensive wedding
Grin
At least M&H are together??

I’d be delighted to but they won’t let us.

They're hardly discouraging coverage - they just did an interview with Oprah, after absolutely not contributing to a book, various snippy comments... They're like the ex who chose to leave you but wants to keep sniping away when they don't get enough attention.

They've got huge contracts with Netflix and Spotify yet they seem very reluctant to actually move on.

somethingonthecarpet · 09/03/2021 19:29

Okay I take everyone's point about the sermon and will unclench. Huge relief actually, having been clenching since May 2018. Grin

Impatiens · 09/03/2021 19:29

Oh come on, the last thing they want is to be left alone. There's no mileage in that at all.

cyclingmad · 09/03/2021 19:37

@sst1234

Why don't you get your facts straight instead if making it up, will you now apologise for spouting utfer rubbish that isnt true or is it okay to make stuff up because its H&M

Indeed 😂😂😂
Donkeydonut · 09/03/2021 19:56

That means that, beyond some spurious conjecture, there’s no way to really know how much the Royal wedding will cost

I am laughing at people defending an institution that codifies them as being lesser beings. Own goal or what 😃
