Recent terrible pictures of Prince Harry

[Lockupyourbiscuits]

I’m not a big fan but it seems odd all the terrible pictures focusIng on Harry’s
1/ bald patch
2/ butt
and now horror of all horrors
3/ moobs !
im sure we all can have ghastly photos but nothing like this was released when he was in the royal family
Im actually feeling a bit sorry for him - seems a bit humiliating and I think they are a bit unnecessary ?

That entirely depends on what they choose to show. The level they have chosen for their current house wouldn't be a problem, and more than showing the Wessex's kitchen or a couple of Cambridge sitting rooms, or the Princess Royal's telly room has been. It's not going to be a detailed floor plan, full tour, close ups of locks or anything about alarm/panic systems. It would be just like the (limited) footage we've seen of the other private accommodation of other senior royals.

I hope they are not going to film inside Frogmore Cottage for Netflix as that would surely create issues for the future security of the property and occupants

I have more of an issue with royals of any ilk being able to effectively sell access to a property the tax payer is expected to maintain.

On similar lines we still haven't had a credible explanation as to how PA came to host a children's birthday party for the Beckhams at BP while the queen and Prince Philip were away.

Surely HMQ would not allow this?

I understand why Netflix wants that kind of content but they were foolish to stump up money before they had confirmation that they could film that kind of exclusive content. I can't see it happening either.

Also, isn't it lived in by Princess Eugenie and her family?

I would guess they will put up with it so that Harry and M will continue to let them live there.

All this handwringing about Netflix, when the palace lets other media and papers profit off the RF all the time.
From W&K giving them calendars of their children, to the sun covering intimate moments like funerals (I get the BBC doing this, but not others). Harry can cover his own family, I don't care.

But the RF don’t profit from televised funerals ! H and M’s Netflix deal is purely to make money.

The DM, the Sun and the rest profit ! Why is it an issue for Harry to profit.

So do you think all members of the RF should be doing the same? Selling access to their homes and private conversations for money?

We don’t care whether you care. 😁

Do you honestly think funeral broadcast rights are sold for private profit?

The point is that royals get a lot of public money. When they use that to make fat private profits, they’re breaking the deal.

It’s just another example of H and M criticising the RF yet clinging on to their titles and looking for any link possible to make money .

The RF sells gin, cups and all sorts to make a profit on top of taking from the state.
The Sun was there covering the funeral to make a profit, hence why I said, it's ok for the BBC to do it for the state broadcaster point of view, not the DM and others to be making money out of it.
Also, Harry does not take money from the state.

Harry did not sell any family secrets btw, it was Will who told the Times about his private conversation which Harry denied made a difference. Nor did he go into details about what his grandmother said. Stop making silly accusations.

So a free for all. Everyone should use their connections with the RF to make as much money as they can for themselves. Great .

Boris should get in on this too! Start having a Netflix team follow him around Parliament and in No 10 . Give interviews about how crap his living quarters are and how he isn’t paid enough. Moan about how no one likes his wife and how they don’t ask how she is often enough.

He could also give interviews about his relationship with the Queen. After all, I’m sure his coffers must be running low.

Boris is actually doing some work though. He isn’t sitting in a mansion in another country with no proper job. Whether you like what he’s doing or not.

Regardless of the rights and wrongs of filming RF properties she'd have to know about it first, and H&M do appear pretty keen on springing "surprises"

Someone said upthread that Netflix aren't allowed inside, but it's worth remembering that their professionals aren't the only people who can hold a camera so who knows what might result?

Even the most ardent republican can spot the difference between press coverage of state events along with compilations of readily available photographs and rapacious merching of connection to line private pockets.

In other news NF are apparently stamping their feet a bit and snorting about not getting the exclusives in the NBC interview which you'd think were a given.

They've dropped the snooze-worthy Pearl. Invictus (however worthy) just doesn't have mass appeal. If I were a Sussex I'd be hunting at rainbow's end for my riches. Far more dependable income.

What about Edward's documentary about the Royal Family that he made money from? Does that not count?

It certainly does IMO - just another royal trading off their position, though considering Ardent kept losing money Edward may have been the only one getting paid

And oh look, he was another using a "company" front to pay money to himself, just like his brother and his trees: www.theguardian.com/media/2000/oct/29/broadcasting.society

"Ardent pays £50,000 a year in rent to another firm controlled by Edward for offices at Bagshot Park, the Surrey seat of the Prince and his wife, the Countess of Wessex ... Rent for an ample office for 12 staff could be between £7,500 and £11,250 a year, rather than the £50,000 which Ardent can currently offset against future tax liabilities"

That's an interesting article, Puzzled particularly as at the same time Ardent was racking up eye watering losses, Edward was finding funds towards renovation costs and a lump sum to buy the naturally knock-down lease of the ridiculously pretentious Bagshot.

For that matter, Cathy, Sophie's R-JH company which she ran with the disreputable Murray Harkin went bankrupt too - reportedly to the tune of £1.5 million, with multiple lawsuits from creditors

It was around the same time that the fool shot her mouth off to the "fake sheikh", then tried to stifle coverage with a interview deal in which she created even more headlines by insisting (unasked) that "My Edward isn't gay"

Frankly, with the possible exception of Anne who at least keeps her mouth largely shut, it's getting increasingly difficult to detect an iota of judgement or to see anything useful among the whole lot

That’s exactly the kind of nonsense that had supposedly been stamped on. As the DoE apparently said “you’re either in or you’re out”. The monarchy won’t survive many more of these money-making scandals.

It amazes me that everyone has forgotten how grabby Sophie and Edward were until they were read the riot act.

You and me both, Sortilege; whether it's short memories or - as with so much about the RF - only knowing what some want to know I couldn't say

It's almost as if, knowing the model's untenable in the long term, they're jostling at the trough while they can, and with a future king who has little moral authority I can only see it getting worse

jostling at the trough
