@potsandmud agree - great post.

Again from a previous thread, a few people have previously called out that what we see now is the 'real' Harry. A man who has the unlucky combination of being very thin-skinned and emotionally febrile. I suspect the palace PR machine did a significant amount of talking him round, to convince him that clapping back at every slight is counter-productive and largely fruitless.

His reactions now - instant, unguarded, over the top - show the difference that a good PR team makes when you follow their advice. I agree with the PP who said they need a crisis management firm; the problem is that I doubt either of them would listen. They come across as people who believe firmly they are not only right, but need to be seen and heard to be right at all costs.

Am I the only person who hasn't met David Essex. ?

I haven't met him but I saw him in concert at the local flea pit way back when. I didn't note a lack of height but TBF was quite a long way back cheap tickets

I still think he's underrated (inexplicably almost absent 😡) in 70's compilations.

A poo knife could be the first product when she launches the As Ever homewares range, engraved with Made in Monte*hitshow.

Best idea ever 😂😂😂

Sorry if it’s already been discussed, I can’t keep up!
But what’s the golden furry ?head bottom left of the As Ever picture? It looks like the back of the head of a golden spaniel or maybe a Labrador.
Sitting at the table about to eat fruit crepes???
It’s surely not one of the children. I can’t work it out!

David Essex . Poster from Jackie magazine
Colour telly bought to watch Princess Anné's first wedding
Butterscotch Angel Delight , sorry, crème caramel espuma - brava to thé pp upthread for that one .
Thé BBC
Blue Peter

And to this day I never watch breakfast or daytime tv. You Switch it on in thé evening only. With thé curtains closed for a better picture.

As you were😀

I loved David Essex , disappointed to hear he's short though. What was the name of that programme he was in - something about a canal ? I bought Jackie every Tuesday, loved the freebies sellotaped to the cover, one memorable green eyeliner/eye shadow stick that was so rough it nearly took my eyelid off . Was never a fan of Angel Delight, I was more of an Arctic Roll fan . The first programme I saw on our new colour tv was Disney Time.

Height really isn't important 😉

In my complete doziness I was on the other thread wondering where everyone was. Then saw the news story about the "imperious" message and wondered why it was still so quiet. Then realised that I'd got the 1000th post and there was a new thread 😂

I see that double standards, both sides of the story and touring the newsrooms have been added to the script. It really must be very inconvenient to have to keep sidestepping the fact that SC only spoke out in response to Harry starting all of this. Talk about an own goal.

I haven't seen the Gyles & Camilla segment, but based on what I've read, it wouldn't surprise me if Gyles was doing some defending because KC3 is concerned about the absolute pasting PH is getting. When your youngest is neck deep in manure it must be difficult to stand by and not try and help them even a little, despite the fact that they jumped in feet first.

Is he concerned? How do you know?

Bruisername · 31/03/2025 21:13

The love letter thing sounded odd as it implied a bit that they would be with her - or perhaps she just wants them to be about her. Very odd ideas that may have worked when we weren’t in a COL crisis.

agree that she’s trying too hard and needs to let her authentic self free. It suggests she lacks confidence and is worried people won’t like the real her. Which is quite sad

I'd add that the clapping back started the moment M arrived on the scene. Starting with that "leave my girlfriend alone, you racists" (that William was drafted in to support) when she'd only been in the country long enough to snub Piers.

(The drafting-in of others is a feature of the clap-back, too. How in god's name did a smart cookie like GP get dragged into that role?)

@LemonLeavesi suspect they have crisis management in spades but you can’t manage a crisis when the people in it are completely unwilling to admit their part. It’s a bit like
trying to get an alcoholic to see the damage alcohol is doing. They are entirely committed to their entrenched position as victims of the RF or at least the media. While doing very little to assuage it.

Bruisername · 31/03/2025 21:19

Why is she ignoring the dog!

potsandmud · 31/03/2025 21:19

@glitterturdit is my dearest wish that anyone who uses the word “elevate” should be hung drawn and quartered.

Looking at glitterturd's latest post, I recokon it's the beagle's head - same colour and you can see where the ear starts to stick out on the right

Either that or Harry's spare toupee ...

Is that the dog who died last year or a different dog?

glitterturd · 31/03/2025 21:21

I assume a different one @Lunde

I have started to see ITV as the nasty channel.

My mum still maintains it’s a “common” channel. She may be on to something

@Puzzledandpissedoff come on now there's no need to insult the dog 😂 it's much prettier than Harry !

You're right of course, @Rhaidimiddim - hence the statement which KP issued - but I don't think we're supposed to mention William's support

Isn't the narrative supposed to be that he's "jealous" (though never ask me what of) and that it's him who's behind all the negative coverage? Confused

Oh that's closer than I have ever been. Also I was minded to look up his height . 5'10. Comfortably taller than me. We no longer have a DVD player because DH and DS keeping up with technology so I am going to make them make me a playlist. What Basilisk wants , Basilisk gets . Rock on. 😎

Have you seen “That’ll Be The Day”? and “Stardust”. Two films starring David Essex about the rise and fall of a pop star? Very, ahem, stimulating …😆

Listen GP is as agog to the class system as every other monied yank. Her daughter was a show pony in the billionaire version of the Parisian debutante market. It was gross.

I don't. I'm not sure why you think I would? I didn't say "I know for sure". I said "it wouldn't surprise me".

It's speculation, but on the basis that Gyles B is well known to the RF - he wrote two books on them with their co-operation.

Profhilodisaster · 31/03/2025 21:26

The Gwyneth Paltrow thing was really weird, I'd love to know the story behind it. Apparently, GP held a dinner party for some cashmere company, Oprah , Gayle King and Tracy Robbins among others were all there but Meghan wasn't invited.
