Palace not publishing bullying review claims…

[DFOD]

amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/jun/30/palace-not-publish-review-bullying-claims-meghan

What do we think is going on here?

1. There something to hide - either against Palace or MM?
2. There was nothing irregular against Palace or MM?
3. Both parties need to leave sleeping dogs lie?

I don't think they found anything of note tbh. Nothing worth making a meal out of anyway and anything they did find probably made them all look a bit rubbish.

I have to say though, having been thinking this for a day two and having seen this thread, i will take the opportunity to say, I don't think DOS should be commenting on political issues in her own country, using her Royal title. It's irrelevant there and it's not like she was elected to it. Royals shouldn't intervene in other country's politics. Meghan - private citizen - of course has a say. DOS - no.

I would havd been interested to read the report. Still I suppose the Palace has done the right thing not publishing. There would have been endless articles about it. And even more bad feeling and sense of grievances in the family

If it had been me and I was cleared of bullying I would insist that the report be published or I would make a statement. She and Harry like making statements but have been silent about this .
I think BP have decided that keeping the peace is a better option . I wonder if those who were allegedly bullied feel the same?

100% agree .

If Meghan had been found to be the bully they would have been broadcasting it on loud speaker from all hill tops. They found nothing on her and are too embarrassed to say so.

first time i had heard this on the news was yesterday. just after all the stuff about PC and his suitcase
another case of the palace throwing M under the bus to take that flack of other royals.

How are they throwing her under the bus ? They haven’t said anything!!

Personally I would be more annoyed if they did publish the report. As a responsible employer they should protect their employees from unnecessary personal intrusion or speculation. In other firms matters such as this would usually be dealt with internally. It isn't just about Meghan as much as some people like to think. Detractors as well as supporters.

The Queen funded the report with her own 'private' money, meaning that it belongs to her and H&M cannot publish it. The palace was quick to shout about making the investigation (using official stationary, no less), then can shout the results if it's what they wanted. They are not protecting MM. If anything, it looks like MM was the one being bullied.

The palace is not protecting the 'victims' either, because their names can be redacted.

Yes, this report is being concentrated on (we were already told it was not going to be released weeks ago) now because Sir Michael Stephens has been briefing the press about it. MM is in the covers now instead of details about why the RF spent over £102M this year in the middle of the crisis, when the whole country is struggling.

-Gihslaine gets her sentence and Americans say they may call in Andrew
-PC with cash in bags
-Exorbitant amounts on RF financial report.

And we are still on Thursday. So, yes, MM had to be the thrown under the bus.

Exactly, and this was fully explained on a previous thread - though it's unclear why the Guardian have only just reported it, since if the RF wanted to "place a story" I'd have thought this was the last one they'd use

There's no doubt everyone concerned leaks when it suits, but I still believe publishing could be a no-win situation for all and a period of silence may be better

No one would care one jot what she thinks about anything without the title.

It's her unique selling point and it just might work. It makes her different and she knows it. She has nothing else. In addition, you don't need to be liked in politics in the same way as you do as a royal.

All I have seen is that the report will not be publicly but that the palace are making changes to procedures. Not quite sure what that means. I am surprised that Meghan does not make a statement claiming she did not bully employees and demand it is published.

To be honest I don’t think many people care what she says even with the title !

Something obviously was amiss, as they have instigated changes in policies/procedures.

I think it’s something as simple as the whole investigation bought up a can of worms, whereby there are staff in various households that haven’t felt able to speak up.

The changes in policies/procedures were apparently going to be published in the annual sovereign grant accounts. They were not, so that is the reason it has been highlighted again today. Of course MM is going to be named, as it was her accusation that started the process.

This is todays news, no deflection. PA, PC stories will keep running. Treasury gets roughly 2/3 of income from Crown Estate. That benefits the country as whole - how is another topic!

Or they don’t want to be embarrassed by admitting she was a bully. Imagine the repercussions from the Sussexes !

Why did they announce the investigation in the first place then?

Did you actually have this same sentiment when the rest of the RF showed their support for other countries, like Ukraine. Or did you ask PC, C and the rest to remove their titles like some kind of Superman in a phone booth. MM is married to the PH, the Duchess is her title, get over it.

So? No one would give a jot about the other royals either if they were not part of the RF.

Funny enough, out of most in the RF, she is the one who has actually proved herself to be listened to without the title, since she has been a spokesperson with the UN long before she met Harry. Gathering and speaking with an audiences that include the Canadian PM, UN-SG and other dignitaries.

I think PC shouldn't be commenting on Rwanda that's for sure. Royals should keep out of politics. Expressing support for the slaughter and displacement of 1000s of civilians after an sucker punch style invasion not the same thing. But this thread, is about Meghan.

I will leave it there. I can't tell you in detail what I think about your disconcerting levels of intensity and focus when it comes to discussing anything to do with M. I'd be banned 😁

@notanotheroneagain

Not every criticism about M is racist . 99% of it is because of her behaviour .

What do we think is going on here?

distraction from Charles's suitcase of cash.

Oh please !
I just called someone out for criticising her for something others do, and you still come up with this tired excuse?
