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

How very droll.

You mentioned drivel?

Are you quite ok?

Que?

I think someone needs to put another 50p in the slot.

Speaking of drivel….

Well isn't this the most revealing post ..? Dear oh dear.

Indeed 😂

This reminds me of when Alan Partridge was found to be clinically fascinating.

😂

Something is definitely happening behind the scene PR wise.

Why is there suddenly this big push in the British media for H&M to come back and reconcile with the family? Their Nigeria trip had better coverage and reviews in the UK than in Nigeria.

Also, it's quite interesting seeing the PR battle between BP and the Sussexes these past few days: first, we had all these speculations about whether Charles and Harry would see each other. Then, Harry released a statement (clearly to make his dad look bad) then we got articles with quotes from "palace sources" making excuses for Charles.

And yesterday, Petronella Wyatt released an article publicly blaming William for preventing a reconciliation between Charles and William. Usually, I wouldn't care but Petronella is a very good friend of Camilla. She wrote several articles about Camilla's first marriage, saying that she had a front row seat. They're clearly very close so, sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if this article directly comes from Charles and Camilla

"Recently, I spoke to a former palace official who used to work for both princes before the good times stopped rolling. “There is a public misconception about William and Harry,” he told me. “It is William who was often the difficult one, and it is William who is preventing his father from having a proper reconciliation with Harry.” He continued, “This isn’t helpful at a point in time when the country would be buoyed up by seeing them together again, as would the King.”

Harry clearly learned from the best. This reminds me when Harry blamed palace staffers for preventing him from seeing his grandmother.

If this article comes from Camilla and Charles, BP and the Sussexes PRs have definitely aligned to make William the villain.

I shared the wrong link

Why have you posted this with two slightly differing views on two threads?

@Nono, you should start a thread if this goes further. I don’t always agree with you but I have found your previous posts to be level headed in the past, so I was really interested to read this. It’s an intriguing take. In over 2 years of reading about the machinations of the current senior royals, the working and non working royals, I’ve realised anything is possible. They aren’t a straight forward lot.

I need to think about this lol. I’ll watch with interest though. There’s been a history of over a 100O years of scheming and plotting in this RF, so I find it really hard to believe they’ve become anything else in a generation and a bit. I think Elizabeth 2 made it look so successfully boring (despite the scandals), interspersed with gorgeous grand weddings and golden coaches and marching soldiers; that we’ve forgotten who they really are, and where and whom they come from. So anything is possible. Charles and Camilla negotiating peace with Harry and making William the fall guy? Hmmm…

I can completely see why William would want to cut Harry out for good. Who could blame him? He is thinking of the future of the monarchy and the damage already done. Harry has also slung a lot of mud at Kate. At least he’s got a backbone. Charles is altogether weaker in character.

But Charles has more experience and is smarter because of that experience. William is learning, but he’s been busy raising his kids for some years now. William seems to be a family man: Charles always had different priorities. I don’t know if he’s weak. Or if he just pleases himself and keeps an eye out for what is best for him and the monarchy. I’m sure he loves both his sons, but they always came second in his life to his own desires from what I can see.

Imagine thinking that you are so special that the mere presence of you will lift the hearts and minds of victims of tragedies.

Or maybe the victims family really are that shallow and after they've had a family member horribly murdered, the world is set to right after a couple of multi millionaires rock up with some birthday cake to make it all better.

Bizarre.

I can believe it's Camilla and Charles shifting blame - not an uncaring father or evil step mother - and there have been stories with these themes in them.

Honestly even if William is "difficult" - don't blame him - his wife been very publicly hounded at an extremely vulnerable time and his kids have had comments directed their way.

I can see public meeting could lead to further confusion around Sussex's lack of role in RF and their commercial and charitable pursuits - damaging RF long term. I can see public distances between RF and Sussexes helping William kids down the line as they hit teens and adulthood- as it's just that little harder to pit them against USA cousins which I'm sure press will try to do anyway.

Actually I can it being less them and much more people/roles round them with a nod or a shrug from them.

You're quite right I hadn't clocked the Queen Camilla and Petronella link she's is qouted as friend in multiple sources and has interviewed her in person.

I see it as the difference between a father’s feelings towards a son and a brother about a sibling.

Over and over again (including with my dm and my sibling) a prodigal child is welcomed back and the fatted calf - nay, the whole herd - laid on. A parent will never spurn a child, no matter what they have done. And parents are devastated by conflict between their children. Also parents always seem to favour - or at least indulge - the most problematic child.

Speaking from my own point of view, a sibling can step over the line and not be forgiven.

I wouldn’t forgive anyone for attacking my spouse the way Harry and Meghan have done, globally. For causing my father so much stress. For orchestrating a mob to go after them while they were ill.

I could forgive a sibling for most things done and said about me. But not what’s been done toward the rest of the family.

If that makes me difficult then so be it. I’d be working to protecting my family.

I also would be happy enough to be called the bad guy to shield everyone else.

It’s sad people here are now going after Camilla again, though! Always a woman to blame, right?

I would never forgive him. To the point that if I was planning my funeral I would expressly forbid him or his wife from attending.
I really hope William has done that.
Why should the grieving relatives have the added stress of making small talk with someone who did so much harm and tolerate the actress putting in her best sad face complete with the left eye tear?

I agree with this.

Camilla was the one blamed by Harry as leaking stories to promote herself, I’m not sure how Camilla using a “friend” to blame William distances herself from that accusation. The royal family do tend to befriend journalists/correspondents but not in the sense of a trusted friendship or one that maintains.
