More Sussex PR antics

[Gottseidank]

Imagine using the victims of a school shooting for attention and PR. There seem to be no depths to which this pair will not sink

It’s comparing apples and oranges, though. Charles is king. He has these years to do the job of king he’s been waiting for all his life, or none at all. He knows how he feels and how much he is capable of. He has nobody else to think of but himself. He does not have young children to worry about. As the cancer sufferer, he is in the driving seat wrt how much he pushes himself.

William is not the cancer sufferer, he is the support system. To a great extent, his workload is dictated to by the needs of his ill wife and his young children who may well be terrified . He has a wife who may or may not get through this illness. He is not going to get this time back with his wife and children, where his presence or absence for them will have repercussions down the years. He has many years of service ahead of him either way, but ensuring he breaks the cycle of fucked up royal childhoods is probably top of his priorities. If he works he is criticised (as he wa with the Villa match last night) and if he doesn’t he is criticised. There is no point trying to court the good opinion of shitheads like the SS, most of whom are American and whose opinion means fuck all to the future of the British RF. Most rational people understand the balancing act required.

No matter what the royal family does, or does not do, there will always be those who cannot seem to shut their trap long enough to stop the shite falling out.

Those who insist on fuelling conspiracy theories are just confirming to the world that they are poisonous tits.

It doesn’t matter whether it is full on bitching or wrapped up in faux concern ingenue style.

Still nasty pish.

There's a lot of 'if it isn't on social media, it didn't happen', and not just with regard to the royals. No-one knows how much desk work William does, or how many meetings he has with no camera crews present and no press announcements.

And most of last month was school holidays, when it will have been important to spend time with his children.

If you look at Page 6 comments, everyone is behind William.

Also, Charlotte's birthday is on the middle of the week. Most people would hold the party on the weekend.

Well said @Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar !

As always, I am proven right. The media is already starting covering this Nigeria trip as a royal tour and even starting to compare it to W&C's Caribbean tour.

The British media give H&M's the best PR

@Nono22972 to address your earlier point re William being the arch nemesis, it is indeed bizarre. Ultimately, this is one of the reasons Spare was so widely ridiculed and considered to be a spectacular own goal - it didn’t give us an exposé of the sinister machinations of the royal family, but rather exposed Harry himself as being whiny, immature, spectacularly lacking in self-awareness and driven by petty jealousies and resentments. It’s really quite sad but also amazing that it was ever allowed to see the light of day by those around him.

@Nono22972 yes some will eg the Sun but others will too as a piss take.

It's a whole South Park episode waiting to happen !

@Singingseals

Exactly what is in my head. 👍🏽

If you look at their history, people who are taken in by Harry and Meghan ate eventually "markled" . I am waiting for the fun and games in Nigeria.

He doesn’t have anyone around him except for Meghan who is egging him on in every endeavour to slate his family because it serves her interests.

PR doesn't seem to be working at the Spectator.

Aston Villa are the last of our teams left in European competition this season too, so it's really important for English football that he was there.

Sorry but I disagree. It was effectively a freebie to watch his team. Nothing wrong with that per se but it was a jolly, not work. William watching Aston Villa is irrelevant to the success of English football, particularly in the men's game.

I'm not a huge monarchist and definitely not team Sussex but I do think William is quite workshy. Look at how many engagements Anne carries out yet William doesn't seem to work in the school holidays or much beyond 10-3.

We all have kids to balance and he has unlimited help at his disposal. I do feel he should have upped his game on the public duties although I think he's a reluctant king. I like Kate though I'd hate to be in her position.

"Harry and Meghan are at it again – launching themselves into another rebrand – this time embarking on a faux-royal tour to Nigeria, hiring new PR staff in the UK, promoting strawberry jam on Instagram and – good grief! – touting Netflix shows about friendship and polo. There’s a certain sadness about this latest effort, since the Sussexes’s entire past year has been spent branding and rebranding themselves with practically no effect, and the whiff of desperation now hovers over them."

There follows a roundup of all the bloopers from the past year. It's quite shocking to see the full list in one place.

Final paragraph:

"Meanwhile, the rest of the royal family have weathered the Sussex fiascos with admirable silence and a great deal of dignity. There’s no better branding than having your face on a stamp."

Get a grip. How do you expect them to make money? Are you happy for your taxpayer money to fund them? If not, mind your business and follow the royals you like.

Goodness me, what jobs are going for H/M to do for it to be worthy enough to be left alone.

At the moment, I don't think they are coming back. You can't pay for their wages for you to own them. So what are going to do now? Stay mad, bitter and sad online 🤣😂

Has it ever worked with the spectator?

Delusion plays a huge part on these royal boards. This one them.

So far all the money they have made appears to have come from trashing the British RF so it kind of is our business.

Get a grip. How do you expect them to make money?

They had the world at their feet when they decided to become independent, they could have leaned into the 'just call me Harry' and really worked on their production company and building their brand around themselves rather than their Royal titles.

At the outset, that strategy may not have brought them the 100's of millions they received for bitching about Harry's family and painting the British public and his family as racists, but if they had steered away from that, initially even, and worked on building a solid reputation, I think they would be in a different position today. Certainly they wouldn't be the butt of so many jokes about their work ethic nor having been exposed as manipulators at best, or liars at worst,

Rather than moving forwards, they have regressed and probably less likely to ever again make the kind of money they did at the outset, it will be an uphill struggle for them to regain any perception of authenticity and credibility.

But they don't need to make money. Harry has millions from various inheritances, far more than any of us could dream of obtaining in a lifetime through actual hard work. They're hardly on the breadline!

They could disappear and live a comfortable private existence for the rest of their lives, but they don't want to.

How long has it been since they 'trashed the rf'? I haven't seen any trashing lately? If u r talking about his book hasn't it been almost a year since it was published so since then nothing that I can see.

Harry's sitting on seriously 'life changing money' for 99.99% of the global population.

You are right, they absolutely don't want a private life, or at least Meghan doesn't , I think Harry could live a non public life very happily with only a few polo matches here and there, the odd weekend in Vegas and plenty of holidays, with no obligations to anyone.

However, living off inheritances is not for everyone, and their current lifestyle likely costs them well in excess of 10million per year. It is easy to go through millions, we hear regularly about lotto winners or those who have inherited millions and its all gone in a few years and they end of back to square one.

I think they do have to earn a living somehow and unfortunately that means for Harry, going against the grain of everything he hated about his Royal Life, but in an even worse situation now due to needing to make money from his public appearances.

And people here fretting about how he is running out of money and needs to make money and he is spending it all...they have no clue just making it up and assuming cos it's another way to keep being negative
