The old thread got closed, just as I was trying to quote tweet someone! So I've started this one, because this shitshow is still rumbling on

Usually this is when you call in Sunshine Sachs, brand recovery experts but they’ve already had a bite of that cherry

I don’t know about Tyler Perry… he thought he was sheltering them but a freedom of information request to the LAPD revealed that it was the Sussex people who had informed the paparazzi that they were staying there.

It's funny how they use the paps when they chose to!

Puzzledandpissedoff · 27/06/2023 17:54

I think he just felt sorry for them and he had an empty house at the time and knew they needed a place to stay

Maybe - and IIRC he said something like this himself at the time, but I still find it an odd thing to do for people you don't even know

I hadn't heard the thing about it being the Sussex people who allegedly disclosed they were living there though. To me that would be another odd thing to do, but since when was anything straightforward with this pair?

@maranella and @ArcaneWireless
Thank you. That actually meant so much to me. x

The after dinner speaking circuit is back I bet they can make millions doing that

I posted this on another thread last night...

I was wondering about Harry and public speaking and I wondered what he'd speak about? So I thought I'd check out what his agency said about him and what they say he speaks about.
There were lots of articles in 2020 to say that both he and Meghan had joined the Harry Walker Agency, which is owned by the owners of WME. I searched Meghan and she was on there. Harry was not.
That's odd that they wouldn't be at the same agency. He must have moved. Does anyone know where he moved to at all?

@Gracewithoutend

I’ve not long had to go and rescue mam from the grocer. She forget where she was for a moment so they kindly called me to come and get her. It is only a few streets away but they know us well and know if she’s struggling.

After a few years, I’m still a bit struggling to accept the role reversal in my head. But we keep on.

Wishing your mum a speedy recovery and a peaceful evening. I wish you a marvellous night of sleep and a chance to find a wee bit peace. Grab it with both hands flower - it has been a worrying night and day for you. 🌻

Wasn't she talking of releasing the diary she kept at the time as a book. That would match Spare in terms of gossip etc.

That was the diary she suddenly remembered she had kept when she did that interview with The Cut, a veiled threat the week before the queen died. Then was confused that she was banned from the queen's deathbed. Delusional pair.

Wait wha?!!!

Can we read about this somewhere?

Rhondaa · 27/06/2023 18:37

This was all so sadly predictable. All Harry had was his royal connections yet he continually shot himself in the foot in an act of public self harm so how his usp is that loser prince who moans a lot.

We could've told him this would have happened when he first started blabbing circa inappropriate African tour whinefest. I hope he can reinvent himself as a resilient, shining lights charity person. I won't hold my breath.

@Gracewithoutend - I hope your Mum is doing ok, it's such a worry. I hope that you can relax and have a bit of distraction with our happy thread 💐

Maireas · 27/06/2023 18:40

How nice of the grocer, @ArcaneWireless - it makes a difference when folks look out for them.
It's always stressful, though.🌻

Sorry - that sounded a bit odd, I meant to say come on to our Royal Style and Beauty thread as a nice distraction 😀!

Just out of interest what happened over the "near fatal car chase" that was reported a few weeks ago ?

More fantasy was it

Maireas · 27/06/2023 18:43

Well, suffice to say that it wasn't a car chase and it wasn't near fatal.

Littlethingsmeanalot · 27/06/2023 18:49

Taylor Perry is very very close friends with Oprah , him giving the house would be part of oprahs deal to get the first interview. Why they went on to make him a godparent, someone they barely knew , can only be guessed at.,but none of the guesses would be about love or frienship…

Maireas · 27/06/2023 18:51

Tyler Perry said he felt that they had been abused by the royal family - he believed their account that the RF took away H&M security deliberately when she was pregnant and left them vulnerable to attack.

Just the last gasps of any attention he can seek. You just know he won't be at his lovely home with his gorgeous family all happy and content, the bitterness jealousy and resentment will be eating him up.

He needs to make a public apology to his UK family say he's no idea why he went all Thomas Markle but he regrets it. If he does that his dad may well respond favourably and then he can carry on on the US celeb circuit as a watered down royal earning a few quid.

Who is this Tyler Perry anyway and why tf would he stick his oar in making 'abuse' accusations jumping on the Sussex VictimsRUs Bandwagon.

I hope that Meghan really doesn’t go down the diary/tell all book route. I think I read on here that they were done with that kind of thing now?

It would undoubtedly be a best seller but I think it would only serve to grow the swirl of negativity that is at their door.

I think it is one thing to tell your truth about your own family as in Harry’s case. I think it would be quite another for Meghan to do it.

That said, it would maybe be interesting to hear about her family and her relationships and what she hopes to do going forward.

I don’t much care for the road they’ve gone down. Not that it matters what I think. I’d like to see them go down a happy positive road and leave the unpleasantness well alone. It has done them no favours.

As for TP? I’m afraid I’m all a bit of the late Nikki Grahame about him.

Qbish · 27/06/2023 20:17

I am definitely interested in them, in a "watching a car crash" kind of way now.

Harry thought moving to America would free him, but what he didn't realise was that with freedom comes the right for anyone to blab about you, in a way that Brits just don't do. Well, to be fair, he does, and now he's the biter bit.

As a previous H snd M fan I find it so sad they left the total family. They had so much potential.
And even post family it could have been so different.
Keeping the titles is my biggest big bear and the lies.
They are treating us like idiots.
Havnt read spare, not wasting my time.
I hope they fail as they deserve the bed they lie in.
(We even had a h & m party the night if there wedding and I'm overseas so it wasn't that common)
I still follow with interest but it's all a shame really how it turned out.

I was thinking this actually. In the US he’s fair game, there’s a thousand piers Morgan’s, not just one. They can cast their opinion, mock him, make programs like South Park about them. And he’s got no protection. It’s much more restrained here. If he thinks the British media is bad, he’s just starting to experience the turning of the American one, and it’s not going to be pretty as it rolls out. They are just getting started on them.

so far lots of leaks from Netflix, an agency big wig saying Megan is talentless, a Spotify exec saying they are fucking grifters, numerous articles roundly taking the piss, Kelly osbourne calling him a whinging tit, a whole episode of South Park dedicated to mocking them and their privacy tour.

The first amendment protects the press and free speech , it is not about is it in the public interest like here, there is no relationship with the palace and us media. They can say what the fuck they please in this context Ie give their opinion. And they are.

I think they are ultimately going to find the uk press much more controlled than the us. It’s not so much jumping out the fire place into the fire. It’s jumping out the fireplace into a raging volcano

LadyMuckingabout · 27/06/2023 21:22

So agree, @Littlethingsmeanalot . The gloves are off. He didn’t realise the privilege he had in the UK. What a chump.
