I’m trying to find out more info. If it’s real, then I’ll start another thread.

I don't think it's real going on that photograph. MM is beautiful but that isn't the best angle

I agree that's very unflattering and I doubt she would have passed that

Wow, that is interesting if it is true.

DM reporting it is the 4 year anniversary of the Oprah interview being filmed, what tumultuous descent into infamy in such a short time.

jeffgoldblum · 17/02/2025 10:13

Mmmm , a lot of old stories being reprinted and fact checked lately!

Thedom · 17/02/2025 10:18

Gosh, I see Harry treats 'his invictus family' like shit too.

A teen being shooed away from meeting Harry.

Possibly similar to this!

True, Jeff, although it's the anniversary of the pivotal and controversial Oprah interview, and 4 years on, there's analysis of how the "claims" have stacked up. Interesting.

Someone posted this on Reddit, it seems Ashley Hansen did a podcast, despite saying nothing negative about the Sussex's (NDA in place), some of what she did say is VERY revealing. I think this may be in a similar vein to 'The Cut' ,

"Their former (maybe current part time) PR person Ashley Hansen did an interview on a podcast called DITL (day in the life) and her description of working for them aligns with everything we know. When she was full time with them, she and the PR team had a “war room” set up and read everything about the Sussexes. Tabloids, news, social media, everything. She worked basically all the time and had no boundaries, but now has a better WLB since starting her company. Eighteen months ago she had to go to an intensive mental health retreat and says the couple was “very understanding.” Since quitting working FT for them, she’s also quit smoking, vaping, and guzzling Red Bulls all day long. Oh, and her skin has cleared up. She also advises people NOT to go into PR."

I know! The danger of attending events in St Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, and being in an escorted car and on royal premises!

Would you please just leave them alone?

And why should we?

RecoIIectionsMayVary · 17/02/2025 11:01

read everything about the Sussexes. Tabloids, news, social media, everything

This is a big website, funny to think our musings have been read by them.

Aside, I want that job, just the reading of social media - imagine getting paid for it.

If anyone is reading and wants me to sift through all the forums please PM me not even joking

dorathexplorer · 17/02/2025 11:01

He had to be removed because he was so popular ? To be fair I think Harry did do much better at the games after Meghan left. I read a body analyst article on him where it talks about how he has difficulty appearing on his own and how initially he was awkward but also tended to merge into groups and teams which was more appropriate. She seems to very much big him up. He did a decent job of finishing up the games without Meghan sucking all the attention with her behaviour.

@CurlewKate and @Jacquettes I am very happy to hear she was respectful to Adria Brochu - the athlete in the wheelchair. I have criticisms of Meghan but I am not in the business of criticising her where it isn't due.

Anyway I did read Adria won the silver in the sit ski event so 👏to her.

Very well put, @BasiliskStare, and this is why some of us made no comment about this until more was known

Unfortunately - at least for my taste - there's still far too much "The (rag) understands that ...." and "A close (unnamed) source says ...", all of which are instantly leapt upon as if they're somehow definitive

And yes the media are lawyered up to the hilt, but firstly they're very rarely made to reveal those "sources" and secondly "Understanding that ..." can cover a lot

Sounds exactly like the Vanity Fair article, when we heard staff had to leave and receive long term therapy after working for Meghan.

Also scuppers the guff Harry says about not reading what’s written in the press….they literally have a victim room in their house! Where they collect everything that’s been said about them, to pour over and fester.

Has anyone seen the new As Ever business?

Is this to replace ARO? Well we all knew that was a disaster.

Im not sure if this is legit or not.

I have checked the trademark office and it has been filed

As ever? I know she's been dripping it in everywhere but I don't think I would want to be reminding everyone of how I have been and acted in the past if I were her . You may as well say " Yup I'm still that same conniving lying little madam ". Why not go for something upbeat and forward looking like " the Summer of Joy" oops that didn't work ... ARO oops no one had a clue about it plus it's been refused. It's starting to get awkward. How many names do you need for yourself?

jeffgoldblum · 17/02/2025 11:18

It's worse than that @Mylovelygreendress and @FenellaFeldman , the apparent. 'Scare' was actually only people wanting photos and selfies! 🙄 sadly unfortunate timing for team U.K. again though!

Ah, but was it Harry's trauma again? I was just thinking that he seemed to get over "the clicks and flashes" of cameras which he said triggered anxiety. He seems to have managed with lots of camera flashes in the last few years, it has to be said.

A cynic might say that it was a good excuse not to have to meet the British team.

Not me of course!

Puzzledandpissedoff · 17/02/2025 11:30

... the apparent. 'Scare' was actually only people wanting photos and selfies!

And yet I can sort of see them being moved back, @jeffgoldblum, though I certainly wouldn't call it a "scare"

It's not easy finding something to excuse Harry and his team for, but let's face it - if one teen was encouraged to shove their blasted mobile in his face there'd soon be a whole host of them lining up and seized with the same idea.
And I wouldn't wish that on anyone, be it Harry or any other celeb

True @Puzzledandpissedoff but the issue as usual is double standards!
Fine taking selfies with countless Sussex supporters.
Over blown reactions! Over blown reporting' security scare'

And again conscious or unconscious snubbing of the U.K. veterans!
