The argument that raising money is more important than the actions of the individuals is why the charity sector is a hotbed of scandals. At worst deaths and rapes and at best embezzlement and misuse of expenses stem so often from the fear of detriment to service users. The put up and shut up argument

Exactly !

im on Reddit enough to know that the sub linked to is a super Sussex fan site , anyone who posts anything remotely critical is downvoted and blocked!
they also say nasty baseless comments about Catherine and William!

I would not assume to support either just on that basis.

Yes but the poster I replied to and others on this thread know that there is more to that post than would be implied by that short comment!!!

The difference between SC and H is SC is a professional behaving professionally, whereas H is an amateur acting accordingly.

This post has some very interesting alternative takes on what is going on. I think it's highly suspicious that they've recruited William's ally to the board. Disgusting behaviour.

Really? I've skimmed through it and it just seems to be an attempt to discredit SC. I thought the appointment of Iain Rawlinson as a trustee was smart. He has credibility and solid experience. It may also be that he is discretely briefing William. KC111 is in a terrible position; they must be worried for Harry but cannot intervene.

She really has form for trying to grab gifts that were not for her. The tug of war with the young polo player in 2022 was also funny. Also the argument with the palace aide when she refused to hand over the flowers,

There were also stories about their unannounced visit to the UK in NYC a few years ago that she grabbed a gift from a table that was laid out for a different reception later that day!

She didn't want the gifts. She wanted to be given the gifts so she could appear more as important as Harry. It's all to do with the pecking order.

@smilesy aah, that makes me really sad.

I met David Essex. He is, unfortunately, very short but I have to say his eyes (many years ago at least) were the most mesmerising thing I’ve ever seen…

My 18 yo is the most lovely, clever, handsome young man and very short.
I always worry about peoples' attitudes to his height and you have just confirmed again that there are many people that think it's an almost pitiable thing to be a short man.

Edited

Dear @Mightymoog , Sorry for my post. . I have nothing against short men - I married one. His response if ever his height is mentioned is "it's not the size of the dog in the fight , it's the size of the fight in the dog"

Anyway I hope I haven't made that worse 💐 Sorry.

That was such a weird video. It was like she was scared of being left out. There was no prompt for her to step forward. And then she actually stands in front of Harry! She is demented.

MummyJ12 · 01/04/2025 11:51

Interesting that Alex Rayner uses another squaddie term “bash Harry”. The Sussex machine have their own dictionary that gives them away.

She does that a lot, seems unaware of her body positioning and when she is blocking other people. Most people know it's quite rude to do that so it does seem strange, particularly being an actor so I would have thought she would be more aware of this than most.

I'm sure there are a lot of briefings before a royal tour for occasions like gift giving, who stands where , who is greeted first etc. This video shows how little preparation was done, it's just so amateurish and of course, not an official royal tour anyway.

Uricon2 · 01/04/2025 11:56

@BasiliskStare If you're up for a campaign to have Bryan Ferry made Duke of Sussex in place of Harry, I'm in. After all he does at least live there! (Would also support ol' twinkly eyes David as Duke of Essex)

Harry’s friend. Speaking on behalf of Harry.

If Harry’s thinks it’s a good idea his friend doing this, shows you what a shambles his communications team is. Also, that those around him, prop up the delusions.

Harry is upset and believes it a hostile takeover/conspiracy:

I can reveal that Alex Rayner, an old Etonian school friend of the prince, who went to the North Pole with him in 2012 and has been in contact with him over the weekend, said that Prince Harry is ‘shocked’ by the accusations made against him and ‘grief-stricken’ at the way the saga has unfolded.
‘H is very happy for me to speak for him about how he feels about this awful situation,’ said Rayner. ‘He is just beyond heartbroken and flabbergasted that the charity he founded as a teenager has been taken hostage by the chair. It feels tantamount to a hostile takeover.
‘He is so upset and hurt and wounded about the things that are being said about him. I think it’s too early to tell whether he will just walk away now or whether he might try and get it back.
‘The way he feels is as if he has had one of his fingers cut off.
‘He set up Sentebale with a schoolfriend when the death of his mum was a fresh memory. At the moment he is just in total shock about what is being said and the accusations being made.’

Dr Sophie is jealous of Meghan/ The script:

But Alex Rayner told me: ‘It feels like [Dr Chandauka] had her nose put out of joint because she was not the most important woman of colour on the stage.
‘There is an undercurrent of stink here because Meghan showed up and it is coming from her [Dr Chandauka].’

Polo drama should have been sorted by Dr Sophie/The Script:

Yet Alex Rayner said: ‘The chair should never have let that narrative take hold, that Meghan had caused an issue. ‘If that narrative did take hold, then I would argue it is down to the chair to put it right. They could have issued a statement and put a stop to it but they did not. Why? Again, the whole thing smells. It feels planned, and I suspect that the whole thing could only have come from the chair herself.

‘Any chair should have been delighted to have Meghan there. When you have both the Sussexes there it doubles the reaction, the power of it. And yet here she [Dr Chandauka] is refusing to get hold of a negative narrative which damages Meghan. It makes you wonder where it came from?’

Polo field loss:

Yet Rayner, who set up the annual Polo In The Park matches and has also worked with Harry on Sentebale events, said: ‘If you are a sponsor then of course you would want the exposure from a Netflix documentary, so this whole story seems simply untrue.
‘You cannot say that Harry’s brand is of no consequence to the charity, it simply does not stack up. Yes, he has gone from being the great hope of the British Royal Family to being seen as a pariah, but he still attracts a lot of exposure. And with a TV crew in tow – what sponsor would not want the global exposure?
This sounds like an excuse to cover up an administrative error at the charity. They lost the venue.’

The script:

He went on: ‘Let’s not get blinded by “let’s bash Harry” and by the idea that there were racial undertones in play... the situation is that she has failed to administrate her role. She was asked to step down and she refused and took over the charity.’

That comment about Dr Sophie is truly shocking! There are not enough isms to describe it. The man should be ashamed!

Harry's friend didn't at any point reference the beneficiaries of the charity. Just poor Harry.

What else would you expect, given that Harry will narturally select similar people as "friends"?

It seems to me that the whole nub of H&M's many problems involves them puttting themselves before all others, and ignoring everyone else's needs - even a charity's, unless there's good PR to be got out of it - doesn't tend to end well

Typo

Dr Sophie has had to shut down her SM because of racist abuse by Sussex fans

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14558071/prince-harry-boss-sentebale-charity-shuts-social-media-trolled.html

A spokesman for Sentebale told MailOnline today: ‘Dr Chandauka deleted her Twitter account due to the proliferation of online bullying’.

One insider who has worked with Sentebale told MailOnline: 'While the pile-on has nothing to do with the Sussexes themselves, it doesn't look good that much of the venom is from their fans.
'The couple have campaigned against cyber bullying and misinformation on social media. I'm sure they will be appalled'.

A spokesman for Prince Harry declined to comment

So then Harry and Meghan should say something and correct the narrative? Like they asked dr Sophie to do.

Boss of Prince Harry's Sentebale charity is trolled by 'Sussex Squad'

Dr Sophie Chandauka, who has accused Prince Harry of 'harassment', has deleted her Twitter account in the face of 'online bullying' including racism, MailOnline can reveal.

So, that line about DrSC "not being the most important black woman on the podium" ... whatever happened to "linked, not ranked?"

Puzzledandpissedoff · 01/04/2025 12:11

He clearly has no proper staff left if he's wheeling out 'friends' like this to make ridiculous statements

Well he's got their new "Head of Communications" we were talking about only yesterday, @CesarSoubreyon

I appreciate Meredith Maines only started at the beginning of March but would have thought this the kind of thing she'd be expected to handle ... unless of course she's given up already?
