Does anyone want a thread for people who are happy for Harry and Meghan? Thread 2

[DaveCoaches]

I wimped out of the other thread title I planned as I thought it might look goady.

But please let’s keep it as the reality-and-let's-avoid-idle-speculation-and-reliance-on-dodgy-sources thread (thanks Seneca!).

It was a clever move.

How do we know that they arranged for a photographer to be present.

I don't mean to be argumentative here but when, elsewhere, it was suggested that M had 'arranged' for photographers to be where she would be walking with Baby A that was challenged.

The airport VIP services often notify photographers that there will be people of interest passing through the airport. I(My 'evidence' for this is the series about Gatwick Airport that was on a few years back. The photographers always knew who would be coming through the VIP channels.

Re the plane to Scotland:

After all, it had become a sort of competition by then.

And yes, the prince’s wife impromptu little walking tour was supposedly just that. Who smiles at the paps, though?

wife’s

I didn't think it was clever as much as obvious. But I guess the great British public fell for it so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not everyone believed it was genuine but many applauded the tit for tat aspect.

I rest my case.

Not everyone believed it was genuine but many applauded the tit for tat aspect.

Applauding William sticking the boot into his brother? Why?

I think it highlights how little support H has had. It was a low thing to do.

William went to a conference about climate change on a private jet with David Attenborough of all people and preached about climate change. He then went to an official dinner telling Africans to stop having too many kids due to climate change then turned around and had a 3rd child.

He and Kate went on their tour about healing the earth and she is now taking private jets.
PC and HM almost exclusively take private jets. PC has been preaching about climate change for over 40yrs. Yet no talk about how they want to be Greta.

Harry went to talk to a bunch of tech billionaires with a collection of the most private jets in the world. It was a google event, not a press release to everyone as usual, but some snarky reporter (sorry cannot call them journalists), reported it like he was talking to us ( they actually just wanted to take a pop at him taking his shoes off), but whatever, MM was not even there.

Coincidentally, the same media who have been on about H&M had to admit that they themselves took private jets on their tour to follow them around SA.
Main thing is that the google conference should not have been any more in your face than any other private jet trips.

They are still referring to the JP Morgan thing, when it's been clarified that they are not yet getting paid for anything till end of March. Bearing in mind, lots of royals have been in cahoots with this bank.

Applauding William sticking the boot into his brother? Why?

Because they’re wankers would be my only answer to that.

I think the damning thing was that the flight was only booked the night before they flew. The airline had to explain why they flew an empty jet for over 120 miles to reach them
They flew on Thursday.

Mummy, that was also brushed under the rug.

The only reason that they had to announce the exit was because someone leaked it to the Sun. Dan Wooten's girlfriend works for the Palace apparently??? - I have no proof, but someone confronted him about it on twitter and he never answered. But whatever.
Dan himself was live on Jeremy Vine that morning admitting he had been leaked the info. H & M had to take charge of the situation. It was revealed that they had been in talks all along, and seemingly given the run around. HM told them to go to PC. PC said write it down, and H said he was afraid of leaks if he did that. In the end he wrote it down, and it was leaked immediately. All the last part from Bradby.

British Press hides so much. You will only know the truth if you look at international news.

A few more things to clarify.
Meghan did do photos and signatures at Wimbledon. The reporter who claims no photos is a failed reporter who has been doing the rounds trying to revive a failed career, pretending she was some punter at the tennis. Meghan was placed in an area that was empty, but half infact there were lots of empty places around the court.

Kate did not sit with the plebs as a down to earth person, she was sitting with her entourage with some vetted Wimbledon kids and staff all around her.

@Mummy195 Dan Wootten is apparently mates with Christian somebody who is, I believe, the Cambridges' comms or press secretary.

Also, the 'punters' sitting with W&K at the football match were Charlotte's godparents.
I also included the selfies and signature pics from MM at Wimbledon on here.

Just saying.

I have never seen that photograph of Meghan and the little boy at Wimbledon @Mummy195 but it shows how the press only pick images that suit their narrative doesn't it?

It's Christian Jones, who lied left , right and centre at the Brexit bus. He was the lead of the communications for Brexit and the speechwriter for Davis Davis.

Let's say he is not above a proper smear campaign.

That is eye opening stuff Mummy. Especially the Wimbledon pics.

I wish the Palace would've come out and defended them on some these stories.

Yes, I know about the leak leading to the premature announcement.

Sorting out the arrangements, which wouid have otherwise been thrashed out over weeks/months was compressed and to a few days and covering only the key points to permit the stepping back without delay. Reviewing them, as indeed some aspects might be work in progress, particularly sorting out income and security questions as things settle down.

Dan Wotton is revolting.

He says “royals don’t guest edit magazines”
Prince Charles guest edited Country Life twice to talk about his environmental causes
Duchess of Cambridge guest edited Huffington Post UK
Prince Harry guest edited Today 4 Programme

British Press hides so much. You will only know the truth if you look at international news

Yes, and that worries me in itself; I'm not talking about the endless "Queen's divorce" nonsense of course, but the things which later turn out to be true but have been kept quiet by the British press

I prefer to think we've moved on from the days when the RF could command silence, but sometimes I have to wonder ...

I wonder how much of this throwing them under the bus was so that PA would be left alone.
I have seen quite often M&H being lumped inwith him, which is so wrong.
