A positive thread on Harry and Meghan (aka Thread 5)

[Mummy195]

A continuation for those who would like to look at the positive side of Harry and Meghan.

Brassy
It's all about perception isn't it?

Saying Kate keeps her staff whereas M doesn't is hardly critical of Kate is it? Saying Pippa is a bit lost now, is not criticism of K is it?

When I posted I referred to all the Middleton stuff and said it was old news. That will always pop up from time to time.

A lot of what you have quoted is taken out of the article out of context, and really refers to her position in the RF, that she has to adhere to.
Reading the whole article in context to me was not that bad.

And as you will expect me to say, it is nowhere near what MM has had to put up with in the press. Doesn't come near. I didn't think it was that bad.

Her 'posh plummy' accent

That is absolute bollocks.
I brought up that Catherine seems to have acquired a more cut glass accent than when she first came into the RF ages ago. In no way was there any criticism at all about this. It was an observation that others agreed with and in fact it has been talked about in the press. It was no different to me saying... Kate has gone a shade lighter with her hair..

And I'm sorry... explain to me what is wrong with saying 'Team Kate'? You need to go back and read some of the 30 odd threads about MM talking of Team this and that. Really... do not come on here making insinuations and making something out of nothing. Also I would appreciate it, if you didn't refer to 'someone' when you mean me, you disagreed with me, I answered. That's it.

why should one woman be put down to make another look good?
I agree with that.

the made up shit about the photos is really dire.
who comes up with this stuff?? and worse still who believes it?

I like W&K I remember K having a bad time when she was dating W.
But that doesn't make it right that they didn't defend HaM and have seemed to go out of their way to make them look bad.
or maybe I have fallen in the trap of believing made up stuff.

I’m not saying that there are photographs.

On my god, you guys. One of the most controversial mumsnetters around came on here and said something nice.

Anyway, Puke Moron Piers Morgan said that he was perhaps too harsh with Meghan and was quiet about the Sussexes recently while he tried to get work in the US and waited for his new GMB contract
However, as soon as his contract with GMB was renewed he came out with a nasty piece about how irrelevant the Sussexes are.

Haven't seen what PM has said - I'm avoiding him like the plague. But surely if H & M are irrelevant and ignored, they've achieved their goal?

A quiet and peaceful family life with Archie.

I think the best reaction to bad press is to ignore it. Let your PR deal with it.

How did W&K go out of their way to make HaM look bad?

I think the best reaction to bad press is to ignore it

What... like W&K are ignoring the Tatler article?

Did I post that I agreed with that tactic?

👏👏👏

Did I post that I agreed with that tactic?

Ummm...

You typed that you think that the best reaction to bad press is to ignore it. So obviously that it what you think, yes, because you've just said it!

Or maybe you think that tactic should only apply to H&M... maybe that's it...

p.s. 'I think' means what it says... I, Winterlife, think this.......

I meant I never posted W&K should take action with Tatler. All these stories pass. Suing keeps them alive.

Are you trying to be purposely obtuse?

Are you trying to be purposely obtuse?

Oh please. You come on here saying you think the best reaction to bad press is to ignore it.
You then deny you actually think what you have just said. And you say I'm being obtuse?

I tell you what... the easiest conclusion to this is, I am not going to engage with you any more because I have no faith in your reasons for being on this thread.

Have yourself a nice day.

You come on here saying you think the best reaction to bad press is to ignore it.

I never denied that I posted the best thing to do is ignore bad press.
I denied that your insinuation that I thought W&K should sue Tatler. I have never posted I thought suing Tatler was a good idea. I don't think it's a good idea.

W&K, and HaM, for that matter, had expert PR advisors who can turn bad stories with time. That's how to deal with it. Suing just results in more bad press. The only exception, I believe, is for photos of a private nature, such as the topless photos of Kate, Diana in the gym, even Fergie with her paramour. I'd even add MM's letter to her father, had she not had friends "leak" it to People magazine.

Thank you for explaining it. Let's move on.

How long do you think it took Meghan to write that letter?

What?

Do you think she ever missed out a word or had a change of thought process half way through sentence and thought oh bugger and had to start again?
