ARO update

[Sunblessed]

At the end of August, there was a partial rejection of the ARO trademark because of the name and descriptions. Also issues with the logo.
They had 3 months to rectify, which you would think would be ample time.

But just a few days before the deadline, an extension has been applied for. Which would be another 3 months

So it’s obviously not an easy fix, I’m sure there have been countless people working to get this done and they have months! Yet they’ve not been able to sort it.

Seemingly, you are only allowed one extension. This would take her to the end of February. So pretty much a year since she’s launched and it’s no further forward, if anything she’s in a worse position. What a disaster.

I thought at the time it was reported that Charles had rung him?

If my child/sibling had published private conversations for profit I am not sure I would have 'reached out' either.

Not because i didn't love them, but because I wouldn't want them to treat it as a money making opportunity

Ouch! That's not a very flattering piece is it ?

Following on from her Summer of Joy?

I would hope Charles is more concerned with examining his past parenting and support of his sons and the example he has set.

I’m thinking back to the ‘rehab’ headlines and the machinations that went on behind them, when Harry was a teenager, because we’ve all just heard about it, again. Double page spreads (and more) for days. Who does that to their child? It should have remained a private family matter and they should have stuck to their ‘don’t complain, don’t explain’ motto and given the press nothing. Nope, Charles needed favourable headlines.

They seem to have "moved on from the past" quite a while ago.

Mumsnet posters on the other hand...

A winter of discontent?

This is rewriting history. Fortunately I'm old enough to remember it happening in real time.

The reason it became public and Harry attended "rehab" (he didn't really, just visited a centre for a photo op), is because Harry was seen drunk and off his face in public while underage. Photos were taken and the Press were going to publish.

Palace PR were trying to do damage limitation and put a positive spin on it.

You'd rather the Palace said nothing and the Press attacked a teenager negatively?

Because whatever the Palace did worked - Harry had a very positive reputation as a funeral loving "Party Prince". It's only now we're seeing how false that was

Whats happening with WME representing MM and finding her work?

How long has that arrangment been in place, what has it delivered and is it still current?

funeral loving "Party Prince"... 😂

That's* *quite a mental image!

I would disagree because of her veiled threat that she had only scratched the surface when questioned about her wanting to end herself.

😂

@MrsFinkelstein are the palace PR doing the same job for the rest of the RF that they did for Harry by hiding his true colours. If they were doing it for him what makes you think they aren't doing the same for the rest of them.

That's a fair point. The thing is that H is making out that he is a victim of palace spin when it looks like he was actually a beneficiary.

@JSMill I think they are all beneficiaries but Harry has been stupid enough to show exactly what he is although he was trying to do the opposite and show up the RF but it spectacularly backfired on him

Definitely.

ARO 2025, let’s go 😌

Let's see more like

Pigeon chess.

I spent Thanksgiving Day listening to family members who are concerned that Trump's announced policies such as tariffs and deporting migrants, will affect the American pocket. For one thing, most crops are picked by migrants. Florida has a real problem getting it's crops picked since the governor went anti-migrant. I'm interested to see what will happen to harvests in California. We also get lots of food from Canada. If food bills at supermarkets go through the roof, then no one will be buying overpriced jam. We will be spending money on necessities like bread, milk, veggies.

Meghan has lots of free time. She has servants, the kids are in school. She could have taken some online business classes and even gotten a virtual degree instead of these pointless foreign tours.

Yes, I agree although he did try to maintain the easygoing, fun persona created for him a little at the beginning ('Just Call Me Harry').

Too lazy, too resentful and too entitled to maintain it for long without someone sweeping up after him.

How do you know that pictures were taken and going to be printed If they were never printed and no one attested to it?

Marc Bolland has talked about his part in this. Journalists have spoken publicly about it.

Even if it did happen the way you said, an underage teenager drunk in public is hardly reason for front pages and double page spreads about Harry visiting rehab.

What parent thinks that’s a reasonable response?

Memories are faulty, mine, yours and everyone’s. We never remember exactly what happened because each time we draw upon a memory we change details of that memory. Repeatedly. We do remember how we were made to feel, but not exactly what happened.

Don’t give us the crap that Harry stated in his book. It’s a euphemism for not telling the truth and telling the actual facts.

Gosh, perhaps a parent who was himself embroiled in an absolute press furore that dogged him for literal years when as an underage teenager he ordered an alcoholic drink at a pub in Scotland when out of school. Quite apart from a storm of censorious press coverage, his bodyguard was sacked and the barmaid and publican charged with offences.

Charles knows quite a bit more than you about the consequences, and how to get ahead of, a press story about his underage son being drunk in public
