Prince Harry revealed in his Oprah interview that the Sussexes stopped receiving money from the royal family in the first quarter of 2020. However, newly published accounts reveal that Prince Charles continued to financially support the Sussexes until summer 2020.

I wonder if this is going to be a case of their truth or incorrect wording on Harry’s behalf. Interesting!

The 'posters' were actually replying to some pretending that H&M do not give either or their time or money to charity and they just do not care.

I don't doubt they give to charitable and do volunteer/charity work, and charities worldwide are always grateful for money and volunteers 'time. I have do doubt that M&H do care greatly about charitable giving.

But if you are going to laud their giving "hundreds of thousands of their own money "to charity, at least be accurate and don't try and present misleading information.

Same reason as you're commenting no doubt, I had something to say.

Sorry Janiie I can say what I want on here, TG permitting of course.

mummy - just helping you to see what you term as the general public "hating" H&M is actually them laughing at their Malvolio style vanity.

Most people see the hypocrisy quite clearly and understand it's about having an eye on making themselves extremely wealthy by leveraging the RF connection and the desire to appear as "wronged heroes".

Some on the fringes will get very hateful and some have blind devotion. However, that's fringes - the rest of the people see exactly what H&M are doing/represent and find it distasteful. It's neither love or hate, but will sure defend themselves against being called racist because not daft enough to believe a fairy-tale.

It's lovely that now all the incorrect "truths" have been stripped away the idea that it's fine and dandy to just make money for themselves via US tax wealth planning. Yes that's what it is. Not a fairy tale of sprinkling dust on to charities and magically rainbows appear. Business people trying to make shedloads of money.

'Same reason as you're commenting no doubt, I had something to say.'

Yes but I'm not sniffily saying 'oh this thread is ridiculous!'.

I accept the subject matter is divisive, I can debate it continually though as I know I'm right .

Now you're funny 🤣

I know

Very well put!

Mummy194,

The photo you attached of the man in the costume is NOT a photo of Prince William. Is that the photo you claim exists of Prince William dressed in a Zulu costume? If not, why have you attached it?

What is the source of the second screen shot (crocodile quote)?

The third image you attached states someone interviewed by a tabloid newspaper believes William asked about a Zulu costume, but they did not have one in the shop and he bought an outfit from there. This again disproves your claim that William wore a Zulu costume. The Guardian describes William's costume for the 2005 party as a 'leopard costume and black leggings', NOT as you described, 'a black leotard and zulu costume'.

Spot on

@Mumsnut

You can’t just include it in the accounts whenever you Like though

It has to be reflected in the period for which it was incurred. Not as
Simple as when it was paid

Exactly this - people who think the Royal accounts can be manipulated in such a way are almost up there with conspiracy theorists! The accounts will be scruitinised by so many people they are guarenteed to be accurate.

On a similar theme, I roll my eyes at a lot of their charity announcements, because in many instances there is a hefty dose of self-promotion along with the donation. The World Central Kitchen lunch for Women’s History month was one example.

In March this year the Chicago-based kitchen noted that in honour of Women’s History Month it had worked with Archewell to provide meals & share a message of appreciation & support. All good. However, the main news coverage focussed on the fact that Meghan had baked and sent a lemon cake, with “lemons from her own garden” to be enjoyed at the lunch.

It’s more than 2000 miles from Los Angeles to Chicago. It’s the same as sending a cake from London to Turkey. Why on earth would anyone do that? It seemed like a really weird choice to me. Even if you were a renowned home baker it’s a little odd to ship one of your cakes long distance like that. But what it noticeably did do was ensure that the coverage of the event all started with coverage of Meghan and her amazing gesture to bake a cake for the event….

How 'self promoting' of the royal family. To have your own royal rota pointing out that prince or princess that did this and that.

But the World Central Kitchen is brilliant

I agree they are brilliant. It would be really nice if they got the benefit of all the coverage, rather than the headlines all being about how thoughtful the Duchess was, though.

I see nothing wrong or shameless with Meghan sending a lemon cake to Chicago or whatever . She is supporting the charities that she feels passionate about. The charities themselves seem to appreciate the support they get from them. I don’t believe Harry and Meghan are saints but at least I feel represented in some of their endeavors. There are many others out there doing a far better job that HaM in terms of supporting charities that I admire too.

It’s sad that some charities supported by HaM have had to lock their comments as the racist, distasteful comments were too much. Only recently an NPR radio host commented how much trolling she received by announcing the interview with Meghan.

It’s actually uncomfortable to watch. I thought some people would be happy they don’t have to fund Meghan and Harry since they are no longer working royals. She is gone , why does it matter so much to some what she does on another continent to support those she wants to support.

I think they've got a lot of coverage due to M&H supporting it. There's 3,000 meals a day in a WC in Gaza after bombings, and at Florida after the building collapse.

One of the problems with H&M is that they have set their stall out to be divisive - as a pp said earlier, they want a win/loose situation all the time.
The death threats aimed at Camilla Tominey’s children demonstrates that there are fanatics/idiots on both sides

They aren’t gone when they keep slagging off the RF and causing continual upset though.

Exactly. They have chosen to leave, so leave and move on. Harping on about being 'cut off' etc is what makes people see them as hypocrites.

That's a lot of air miles for one cake.

Does the fact the lemons were homegrown count as carbon offset?
