The Era of Joy didn't last long.

This is going to be interesting, it's going to be a full on PR onslaught for the next few months, and then we will have Harry launching his very own 'commercial project'.

Clearly an article straight from the Office of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, giving an exclusive to the DM.

Honestly I’m amazed they can pay for all these high earning staff members.

AliasGraced · 25/05/2025 08:22

Do the staff live in? If not, there are all the travel expenses on top.

MaturingCheeseball · 25/05/2025 08:23

That is an insane amount of staff! I have no words, except for those employees must certainly like a challenge.

Thedom · 25/05/2025 08:24

and they are off ....

I think the pivot is going to be to Harry to save the Sussex brand,

For a prince who was once adored by his home nation and respected for his service in the Army, it is quite the fall from grace – something, I am told, that is not lost on Harry. With the launch of his first commercial venture on the horizon, it makes business sense to try to rekindle the love that the Press and public once had for him.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of their billionaire friends are bailing them out.

Well, I reckon they've added $$ a year to the running costs with this and I don't see how it will help them pull back any sort of positive reputation. The damage is done. I can't see how throwing a new commercial venture into the mix will help, at all.

OccasionalHope · 25/05/2025 08:39

It’s substance they need, not reputation management and PR.

I'm not sure. I don't think billionaires get to be (and stay) billionaires by wasting money on a currently toxic brand. If they are getting outside investment, I'd think it would be quite limited.

RedRosesPinkLilies · 25/05/2025 08:47

I thought they didn’t want to be royal- why are they mimicking the structure of the business side of the Royal Family.
They really don’t see themselves as anything other than the entitled side of being royal. But they did leave and they’re no more royal than the rest of us.
I can go with the idea of the Royal Family - and quite enjoy the spectacle. But this pair are not part of that small group, no matter how much they try to mimic it.

Vespanest · 25/05/2025 08:48

So all the money made from trashing the royal family is now being spent on repairing the damage caused. They must have 25 to 40 staff in total if Archewell is included. Imagine having all this staff and not being able to create a supply chain. I can imagine the angle of this PR is if we look important then people will see us as important.

NormaMajors1992coat · 25/05/2025 08:49

Can’t wait to see what Harry’s going to be selling - where do his interests lie I wonder - surfboards? Dog bowls? Fancy dress costumes? Spurs and whips? Magic mushrooms?

Vespanest · 25/05/2025 08:53

I can imagine harry selling whiskey, a go to for celebrities wanting a quick endorsement.

Absolutely this

I’m sure Harry’s chief of staff will be very busy making sure his Xbox controller is fully charged and his jodhpurs freshly laundered.

CrewOfTheRevenge · 25/05/2025 09:07

Scott Rouse, body language expert, nailed it. He analysed the whinge fest Harry gave after he lost the latest court case, said there was something brewing for Harry and here it is.

Thedom · 25/05/2025 09:11

Looking at the photos of their employees on 'six figures' , the thing that jumps out is there is not much diversity there at all, pretty much all caucasian, no black employees in their top team. There are so many rumours about Meghan being racist, and time and time again you see the evidence as to why people think that.

I don't understand how she and Harry are held up as anti-racist icons by their superfans.

I dip in and out of threads about H & M but if this is true it’s priceless.

H & M were clear the traditional RF administrative set up needed modernising and they were the ones to do it.

Do they still have friends ?

I shudder to think what their wages bill is . I think it was estimated that their security alone cost about $ 4 million a year .

elessar · 25/05/2025 09:22

The problem is, it doesn’t matter how many staff they hire or experts on high salaries if H&M aren’t prepared to listen to advice, and they’ve consistently proved they aren’t.

The only thing which could turn around Harry’s reputation is a big climb down and lot of humble pie - admitting he’s been in the wrong, behaved badly and suffered the consequences- and is willing to put in the work to rebuild.

But every time he’s opened his mouth he’s only doubled down on his sense of entitlement and victim hood, and clear belief that not only the RF but the world owes him unquestioning uncritical support, financing and adoration, no matter what he might do.

I guess we’re going to hear a lot more from the Sussexes, but I can’t imagine it being anymore successful than the disaster it’s been for the last 5 years, because the pair of them are horrible human beings and that’s now been revealed to the whole world - you can’t put the genie back in the bottle.

BoredZelda · 25/05/2025 09:27

Ahh, the Daily Mail never fails does it? Writes a piece full of nonsense, (probably “sourced” from within the RF) so people can paste the link and have everyone who believes it, salivate over it and post their vitriol.

And you all fall for it hook, line and sinker. 😆

Mylovelygreendress · 25/05/2025 09:31

There’s a lot of detail for something that you claim not to be true @BoredZelda !

NormaMajors1992coat · 25/05/2025 09:36

Why would the RF be interested in promoting the Sussexes’ new PR team and their various enterprises?
