Great to see that he is still supporting grass roots charities like this. And that he and Meghan haven’t forgotten the connections they made on their official visit to Nottingham.

I know someone connected to this charity and they are truly ecstatic about the financial gift itself and the publicity and recognition that it has brought to their work.

Strange that there don’t seem to be any threads about it as it happened a fortnight or so ago and I think it’s great news!

Im not sure what you thought was facetious. Have you never heard of charitable contributions being tax deductible

shes also not a princess.

So you have real proof they are behind the trolls and the sussex squa. Emails, text messages, phone calls etc. Lets see it then ....

Why should Harry and Meghan “win”? Who decided to make this a competition, let alone an all out war?

Some time ago Harry funded a few food parcels. How on earth is that news?

Meghan Markle and Harry thanked fan who used Twitter account that abused royals

Christopher Bouzy was included in H&M's reality series to insult H's family of origin. He happily trolled Catherine as she was suffering from cancer.

Christopher Bouzy doubles down on Kate conspiracies

And of course, Omid Scobie, where the Sussexes simultaneously "forgot" that they emailed Scobie to collaborate on Finding Freedom. H specifically emailing "I totally agree that we have to be able to say we didn't have anything to do with it."
Meghan Markle's Private Messages Exposed by Aide Behind Bullying Accusation

Feel free to be super supporters of team hypocrisy. Silence is complicity as the "cool" kids say.

It may make you happy to see your tax dollars flushed down the toilet for Harry, but as a resident of NYC, I prefer the NYPD to be preventing actual crime. If Harry's security can't escort him to a tattoo parlor then he needs to hire better ones.

I donated money online to a small local homeless charity that provides backpack beds that allow people some privacy and security when sleeping on the streets, and the form through which I sent it required a phone number. The administrator rang me to ask for my postal address for a tax receipt. We had a lovely and very informative chat about their work and she told me that they will sometimes get several thousand dollars at a time anonymously transferred into their accounts with no indication of the donor. I wasn't aware that that was possible to do that when transferring money, but obviously it is, and I do like it as a concept.

Why did Meghan Markle (oops, sorry, Meghan Sussex) have control of any of the profits from the Hubb Community Kitchen cookbook? I know she wrote the foreword for the book, but why didn't all profits go the Hubb CC? Or the kitchen at the Al-Manaar Muslim Cultural Heritage Centre? I am not British, so apologise for incorrect assumptions about how profits from charitable endeavour are handled there.

I don’t agree with any on-lîne or off-line abuse of anyone to be clear. It’s hideous in any form.

Too late to finishing editing but a bit disingenuous My2cents75 to phrase that as though H and M knew about or condoned hideous cyber-bullying.

The article made it clear that H and M thanked them for fund-raising for their charities, before they were unaware of the person’s horrible trolling activities.

The article itself says;

There's no suggestion the Duke or Duchess knew about the offensive messages being posted.

The second link doesn’t work.

The third link is an article by Jack Royston say no more. It’s about Meghan’s letter to her father and frankly I don’t understand the issue. In the circumstances, MM would have been mad not to consider the possibility of it being leaked when she wrote it. That is literally what a PR team is for. To think about future potential pitfalls and prevent or future proof.

That’s a very good point

This doesn't mean they were the one who directed other people to go round trolling w&k and posting things. As its said earlier they were thanking then for something. So again where is actually proof they are the ones behind it, coordinating it, making other people write things.

Both Harry and William are photographed partying with P.Diddy does that mean they were part of the abuse? Because they associated with someone who is then found to have done something bad. Because that's what your saying.

I don’t know for sure but what it looks like is that everything, including at the time profits from the book, go in to one big pot called The Royal Fund, and then get directed out again. And presumably people can influence where it goes? Not sure?

No doubt others more knowledgeable on here will know more detail. 😀

M&H have PR. PR which is currently working overtime. Of course they will be crawling over any charities linked to them in the past and suggesting new donations/visits to demonstrate how they’re still thinking about them.

Maybe they do still care, but they themselves have drawn back the curtain on how PR/pap shots/award pay-to-plays/SM etc are used, so it’s no surprise that people will be very cynical about charitable endeavours (charity begins at home and all that).

Whether they coordinate abuse or not is a moot point given that they don’t actually condemn any abuse that comes from their supporters. That would be the least they could do

The claims that they coordinate abuse are unsubstantiated.

The couple are in the middle of a click-led media onslaught driven by money. Many journalists and news organisations are making money by driving a certain polemic, and this in itself attracts weirdos and horrible people who hitch themselves to the wagon. H and M cannot be held responsible for what free individuals write on their own laptops fhs!

They have probably been advised to ignore or not to comment for fear of stirring the pot.

Of course they can’t but imo the least they could do is say that those people do not represent their views. They need to grow a pair and stand up to the abuse put out in their name if they are so insistent that online abuse should be stopped, regardless of whether it is “stirring the pot”. They are quick enough to complain of any abuse sent in their direction

Most celebs and the rf have PR teams....so shall be cynical abojt all their charity endeavours too?

Well the rf have a lets remain silent on all the abuse that comes from their supporters....so why shoukd it only be H&M who have to call it out and it'd be a full time job in itself cos presumably you expect them.to call every single one out.

@Spectre8 - of course. Absolutely. But this thread is titled “Well done Harry” - and I’m just suggesting that it’s more a case of “Well done Harry’s PR Team”

The RF tend not to say anything about anything, rightly or wrongly. My point is more that the Sussexes have been outspoken in their views on online abuse so really they should be distancing themselves from those who spout it in their name, not socialising with some of the more vocal abusers or taking them on “tour” with them

Prince Harry's African Parks acknowledges human rights abuses

For those who claim links don't work to defend their favorites.

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — A national park associated with Prince Harry in the Republic of the Congo has acknowledged that its guards committed human rights abuses against Indigenous peoples who were displaced when the park was constructed.

An internal investigation by African Parks, a South African-based wildlife parks consortium, uncovered cases of torture, rape and forced displacement of Indigenous people who used to inhabit the land now occupied by the Odzala-Kokoua National Park.

Prince Harry sits on the board of African Parks.

“African Parks acknowledges that, in some incidents, human rights abuses have occurred, and we deeply regret the pain and suffering that these have caused to the victims,” read a statement released Thursday by the group and London-based law firm Omnia Strategy.

The initial reports of the abuse, which allegedly took place in 2023, were raised by international rights group Survival International. The allegations were investigated, but the final report of the abuse remains confidential and many details remain unclear.

'All three earlier photos of her were fake': Christopher Bouzy doubles down on Kate conspiracies after cancer diagnosis

Sussex-ally Christopher Bouzy has slammed Buckingham Palace on social media and doubled down on conspiracy theories that recent photos of Princess Catherine were “fake”.

Mr Bouzy is an IT entrepreneur who created the service Bot Sentinel, a revolutionary program that tracks disinformation and fake accounts or “bots” on X (formerly known as Twitter).

The 48-year-old is also a staunch defender of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, perhaps only matched by royal author Omid Scobie in his support for the Sussexes.

The entrepreneur was given the Sussex seal of approval when he was invited to participate in Meghan and Harry’s Netflix “docu-series” in 2022.

As for the disingenuous...ignoring that H wrote that he needed to be able to deny being responsible for providing information and when he was caught subsequently had a memory lapse "I forgot, your honour" is quite the choice.

To attack Jason Knauf who simply told the truth to the judge is another choice.

Oh well, at least super supporters are consistent in that.
