The PR Whodunnit?

So what is this all about then?
Who did it and why?
And whoever's PR team is responsible needs tearing off a strip, it's going to backfire.
I know there was a thread about this earlier today but it was deleted due to questions over how genuine the OP was. As this story is everywhere at the moment I thought I would have a try myself and see how we go. Just a couple of preemptive points:

  1. My MN credentials are rock solid so don't anyone even go there😁
  2. Lets also keep some perspective, at the end of the day we are talking about a bunch of privileged and entitled millionaires who likely wouldn't even pee on us if we were on fire and that goes for both 'sides'.

Meghan wrote to King Charles expressing concern about unconscious bias in the Royal Family - report

The letter was reportedly sent after the duchess said in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that a senior royal had speculated about how dark her unborn son's skin would be.

I think your liver will be ok, @MrsMaxDeWinter !

jeffgoldblum · 24/04/2023 12:58

Yes @Maireas , I find all the historical tidbits very interesting, I know some might find it old fashioned now but , just hearing the reasons behind why things are done a certain way , fascinating!
It's like being a ( small) part of history.

Maireas · 24/04/2023 13:00

Alastair Bruce is bloomin marvellous. I swear he was born in about 1830.

jeffgoldblum · 24/04/2023 13:03

Maybe he was! 😉🤣

jeffgoldblum · 24/04/2023 13:05

Although apologies @StormzyinaTCup , slight derail of your thread !

Maireas · 24/04/2023 13:06

Ah yes! A bit of a derail....

jeffgoldblum · 24/04/2023 13:08

I think it was the rev Green with the candlestick in the library!
What do you think @Maireas ?

Yes, I'm interested from the historical point of view, and the BBC and ITV commentaries are usually very informative. They have military and royal experts on. I've never known anything unpleasant or personal, I think that's what makes it quite enjoyable for me. At the late Queen's funeral, one of the commentators explained all the military traditions, which (I thought) was very interesting. Not many of us were around in 1953, so this Coronation, whatever your views, be quite an event.

We flipped between BBC, ITV and Sky coverage and they were all like this.

Full of little historical facts and historians and miliary people explaining what was going on and sometimes why.

My Dad is only family member to have seen last one and barely remembers it more family gathering in an aunts home round small TV -though does remember sweets coming of rationing.

Success has clearly has a different meaning here when it comes to Meghan than it does for everyone else clearly!

Saw the attached earlier on Twitter and laughed.

That a "D list actress has such power that even in her absence, she is THE story of this historic, once in a life time Coronation surely says something about Charles and Camilla.

I am willing to bet that if I have a drink for every time her name is mentioned during the commentary on 6 May, I will be very drunk at the end of it.

One paper even shoehorned her into Louis's birthday with the headline: "Louis's life in pictures, including his antics with Meghan Markle."😂

I fully expect the main Coronation story to be:

CHARLES CROWNED DESPITE MEGHAN'S ABSENCE.

"King Charles III was crowned today at Westminster Abbey while Meghan Markle stayed away from the ceremony, choosing to spend time in her 16-bedroomed house in Montecito with her children, Archie and Lilibet. The glittering ceremony, which Meghan snubbed, is the first coronation in 70 years. It was confirmed today that Meghan was not among the 2000 guests that thronged the Abbey. Presiding over the ceremony was the Archbishop of Canterbury who also performed the wedding ceremony of Prince Harry to Meghan in 2018."

Serious for a moment, I've been giving this some thought and honestly, I can't find a single reason the rf would want to leak this information at this stage , it reignites this whole topic and doesn't show any of them in a good light !

polkadotdalmation · 24/04/2023 13:36

Maireas · 24/04/2023 12:25

I would be very surprised if they mentioned Meghan's name during the Coronation commentary. At all.
It will be all about the ceremony.

Exactly. Why would they. She was barely mentioned at the funeral or 70th celebrations. And she was there on those occasions.

jeffgoldblum · 24/04/2023 13:38

Was Harry mentioned in the denial?
Has Harry denied the leak?

jeffgoldblum · 24/04/2023 13:38

@polkadotdalmation , I miss the purple 😢

MrsMaxDeWinter · 24/04/2023 13:41

jeffgoldblum · 24/04/2023 13:38

Was Harry mentioned in the denial?
Has Harry denied the leak?

One could also say anyone who did not deny it is the leak.

In that case, I think the leak came from Louis because he did not deny it.

And it's always the least likely person.

jeffgoldblum · 24/04/2023 13:42

I'm more inclined to believe Harry leaked it instead of Meghan !

IcedPurple · 24/04/2023 13:48

There has been no denial from anyone.

No the only person it benefits is Meghan and Harry. Meghan particularly. All their money is made off their trademark selling out your families and putting them in a bad light. Without the royal family she has no relevance and this tactic reeks of desperation to push herself into the public eye. As long as our ridiculous media continues to feed this trolling behaviour we are stuck with this endless self promotion. She is now getting more desperate for attention and doesn't have the intelligence to work out yet the world has realised how fake she is and how dumb harry is.

Goodness me Shock

What a good job she didn't leak that story to the Press then, you would've combusted!

In case you hadn't noticed, she hasn't been seen for months (apart from once) and is living her life thousands of miles away.
