Sadly I remember many ghastly details, including Edward's strop at the press conference. What they said to poor Anne to rope her in I have no idea😂It did apparently get good viewing figures though.

I really quite like Edward now and don't think I'm alone in that, which just shows a bit of work and not further making a show of yourself can pay off. The public aren't that unforgiving, given a chance.

Haha I remember the footage of Edward's strop. IIRC the press had been effectively locked in a room for a couple of hours with no food so they weren't on great form and Edward told them to "show some bloody enthusiasm" or something like that which was a red rag to a bull really.

I can remember Sophie and the fake sheikh sting the News of The World caught her out in causing a bit of a hullabaloo at the time.

But as you say they are both now very popular, grounded and hard working members of the firm, so it can be done... provided you want it to.

It’s so funny people trying to say posts about William is derailing when the fact is that Harry SAID in his Alex Rayner voice that he was clearly worried about conspiracy against him! I mean seriously, this man is paranoid and not well and that is also a genuine concern. He’s not capable of managing something that has got out of hand.

I feel so behind the times and very gullible, I know not to believe everything on the internet but this is real eye opener for me!

H&M have a very difficult road ahead.

They already have a poor track record of project delivery and a highly negative reputation within the entertainment industry (Spotify CEO called them f*g grifters).

And we know details Miami polo debacle may have additional legal consequences for both H&M and Netflix. If H&M wanted to film polo, they should have engaged the necessary production staff including legal, accounting, location management, etc. using that famous $100 million from Netflix!

Sentebale staff had no business performing production related tasks and in fact this misuse of Sentebale resources could rise to defrauding a charity! And if Sentebale took USAID money that was diverted to support the lifestyle of a foreign Prince...Republicans will have a field day siccing DOGE bros on H&M!

But this is a thread about Harry ! Feel free to start one about William .
Oh and what about Andrew ??

We've already got "lazy-William " posts appearing here now.

I'm of the mind that there is a conscious decision around W&K spending as much time as possible with their young family and don't blame them for it. Who knows when William will be King (hopefully many years hence) and everything changes then, can't be avoided and it is forever.

jeffgoldblum · 01/04/2025 18:58

This thread is clearly about sentable and Harry’s latest cockups , whether William is lazy or not has no bearing whatsoever on these latest issues, not to mention there has been hundreds of threads about this on this forum for years , either go to those and comment or start your own.

Feel free to continue to derail the thread by joining other posters criticising me. Alternatively we can return to the topic in hand.

I know someone who was asked to do the comms job going back a few years now. She was actually looking for work and had the right credentials and this was before it all went south… I don’t think they will have anyone decent to do their bidding now. It’s a career ending job. Either that or your sanity I’m sure.

Why did she turn the job down out of interest?

AtIusvue · 01/04/2025 19:12

Jesus Christ. Even if they believe this, saying it out loud makes them look so much worse.

Harrys team needs to get a hold of this. Sources close to the previous trustees:

“She’s definitely playing the race card and openly,” the source said.
“This is her plan. As soon as anyone turns against her, she brings the race card in and she comes for you.”
She’s a very poisonous woman and it’s very sad it’s come to this,” the source said.

potsandmud · 01/04/2025 19:13

Ladies please desist. None of this matters. The Sussexes are done and dusted. Their reputation and motivations are in tatters. I hope they can actually use this as a lesson to reflect and learn but I seriously doubt it. History tells us so much about heirs and their lack of graces. This is just another chapter in a very fucked up book. Harry doesn’t get to claim any moral superiority and he is as bad as the institution he claims to flee. (Except he really needs them RN).

I agree that C comes over very well indeed as evidenced by her phenomenal polling...where she is more popular than Albanese in Australia, Trump in America and Macron in France!

Drama sells, and the press wanted "Diana 2.0...The Modern Mess Continues!" but what they got was a "level-headed girl." C has been very smart to maintain her professional public persona of "steady as she goes" and keep her private life very private.

Steady, boring and reliable is exactly what is needed for longevity in public life. And in this world of change and chaos, stability is all the more valued.

Precisely. QE2 fitted the steady boring and reliable bill and she was the most successful monarch by a country mile

It did actually notice at the time that they were wearing very similar outfits but Sophie looked elegant but M just couldn’t pull it off. I didn’t of course know at that point what a high achiever she was. It makes total sense to me that M, ever the feminist, was jealous of her.

Meghan seems to have a real problem with having her clothes fitted. She clearly has a great figure but looks boxy and flat chested in almost everything she wears

25/3 Visits to farming community in Somerset

  • Meeting with young farmers
  • Became patron of We Are Farming Minds – a mental health charity for rural workers and participated in group conversation

  • Opening Project Flourish which provides training opportunities for people at risk of homelessness
  • Took a walking tour with Invisible Cities Tours that trains and employs people who have been homeless as tour guides
  • Opened a Homewards project of newly refurbished housing to offer more supportive housing and longer term tenancies to reduce risks of homelessness

The Sussex Squad is an albatross around H&M's necks.

You can't badger people into support...from death threats to chefs who provide mildly critical reviews to attacking SC at Sentebale, the SS is creating enemy after enemy, at a time when H&M's social currency is very rapidly depreciating.

As Pa's health fades, and power shifts inexorably to big brother W, some of those who were once silenced will eventually start to speak out. And all the paid-for puff pieces in People won't overcome vile and vicious SS media activities which will make brand Sussex more toxic than ever.

AtIusvue · 01/04/2025 19:22

Also Telegraph, she somehow snuck in and took the top job against everyone’s will. This is bizarre:

Meanwhile, The Telegraph has been told Ms Chandauka was not included on the original shortlist of candidates for the chairman’s role but “barged her way in” after an acquaintance at the charity introduced her to the recruitment consultant responsible for filling the position.
A source claimed that one of the trustees contacted her to “help” with the recruitment process as she had previously sat on the charity’s board. But she then complained that she had not been considered herself and implied she might take action if she was not put on the list.

She was, after all, “a highly globally connected US-based black southern African senior executive woman with an exceptional corporate pedigree”, she allegedly told the consultant.
Having outlined her qualifications, Ms Chandauka is said to have suggested she might take action unless interviewed for the position. “I will reflect upon this and what to do about it,” she is said to have told the recruitment consultant in writing.
She barged her way in’
“It was basically a threat”, the source alleged. “She was put in touch with the agent and barged her way in”.
The recruitment consultant then returned to the board and it was agreed Ms Chandauka should be included for interview, which in the interests of fairness was conducted by a panel who had not previously known her.

“Of course, she’s going to be quite impressive to those who don’t know her on the board, because, you know, she has been in Sentebale before, and she interviews very, very well, comes across very, very well,” said the source.
“She passed the interview with flying colours.”

The implied court action- is her saying she will go and reflect?

This is so weird

The horrific irony of that statement, bearing in mind that Sentebale focuses on southern Africa - and in particular Lesotho and Botswana. Who on earth took leave of their senses and thought it would be a good idea to roll out the "playing the race card" when they are talking about a charity primarily aimed at Black children?

Just when you thought they couldn't sink any lower....nope, here's an even more shitty racist trope. What the actual fuck is wrong with these people? How can you claim to love and support and be committed to this charity when you are demeaning everything it's supposed to stand for?

I hope someone at Sentable is keeping screenshots of all this. Harry is despicable enabling the frenzied Sussex pack of wolves to go after Sophie.

I am starting to feel sorry for the Sussex children. What kind of role model their parents are.

But this is a thread about Harry. How on earth did you get from Harry’s charity issues to how many engagements William does? It’s irrelevant to the topic of the thread.

Certain people complain all the time that you can’t have a thread about Meghan without someone comparing her to Catherine. Can we have a thread about Harry without deflect to his brother?

I wonder actually if William will take a very different line with his brother. I suspect he will not tolerate anything Harry does that impinges on his family or the monarchy. There will be no kid gloves.
