As ever and PR disasters continued

[AtIusvue]

So Meghan lost her fathers number but is ringing round hospitals and will send a handwritten note, as per Sussex sources speaking through the Sun, the Telegraph and the Times.

I mean I have no idea, how it works with PR for very famous people, but surely there are scenarios they prep for?

Her dad is in his 80s, severely obese and has suffered ill health for years. You would think, there would be protocol in what to do should the worst happen.

That would include having up to date contact info. This isn’t something Meg would need to have/get involved with if she’s estranged, but surely ‘The Office of the DDOS’ would. Then engage in their set plan- whether that’s a public statement that this is a private affair or that contact has been made through the proper channels.

Whatever this is, it isn’t professional-it’s complete chaos.

We’ll call me cynical but I don’t think we would be talking to them at all ! I think it would be an entire dinner of them talking at people about themselves.

It all sounds very murky. The sooner the royals cut them adrift the better.

And 'Archewell' is a crap name for any sort of organisation.

I agree and it’s the appalling clunky-ness of MM’s invented names that MM doesnt even see. American Riviera Orchard, As Ever, Archetypes etc her grasp of vocabulary is poor but she’s so delusional and grandiose she doesn’t even know that. What a fool.

Folks are hilarious, the only person that has gotten in trouble for shady charity dealings is King Charles. A police investigation to boot included. Cash for honours, bags of cash and bribery. Wake me up when that happens to H&M lol

The murkiest of the lot are the working royals.

Ah, but only collectively jeff ... if anyone's foolish enough to want some one-to-one talk it'll probably cost extra

I hadn't heard about the swap from Foundation to Philanthropies though, and at this rate they could give Charles a run for his money when it comes to a lack of accountability

See, I don’t mind takes like yours, it’s the ones that pretend that the royals are some saintly group of people.

Well quite, I do wish posters would check the facts before making declarations about who was the only person guilty of wrongdoing though! 🙄

Yes, a brand name should be snappy, easy to pronounce and have some sort of association with the 'product'. 'Archewell' is the opposite. Nobody knows how to pronounce it and if it evokes anything at all, you might guess it's a company selling insoles for fallen arches.

Haven’t you got a ‘positive’ thread to contribute to 😂

Sorry, but to me, philanthropy is a word that sounds quite wrong in the plural form... like "kindness", or, I don't know, "trout".

... or "information", or "knowledge". Just not quite right to put philanthropy in the plural form, I feel.

... but then I suppose if you can have "learns", then why not have "philanthropies"?

Contentbdeleted because ofva cross post.

Genuinely, is that wrong? I know there’s an org called Bloomberg Philanthropies, although it’s not common usage.

No one interested in your polo chat? 😂

It’s a full house actually I’m just scrolling through

I mean, I am not the final arbiter, but I would think of it as one of those "mass nouns" that are particular to English. For example, French students often say things like "thank you very much for these informations"... and of course, that is not quite right!

Sure, sure.

So busy you’ve got time to repeatedly post on here….but you’re just scrolling.

Also what happened to all the positivity?

Oh no, I mean a full house on the thread. Bored at home.

I’ve always said they are on the same dodgy dealings trajectory as the Yorks and no I’m not including Epstein before the but buts appear. Changing from a Foundation to Philanthropy so they can’t be monitored, don’t have to adhere to charity regulations, don’t have to produce financial reports, no wonder it appeals to them. The titles from all of the Sussex family need to be removed and I’ve taken a very dim view on the King for letting this farce continue on his watch. From the same report:-

Paying to have dinner with – or access to – a working member of the Royal Family is seen as a no-no and one of Fergie's many solecisms was to offer access to the then prince Andrew for cash. However, the Sussexes haven't been working royals since Megxit.

The access to Harry and Meghan appears not to have been advertised on the company website, so may have been offered privately to 'high rollers' who have previously paid to rub shoulders with celebrities.

Exactly @BigWillyLittleTodger👏

The flurry of PR seems to be designed to bury Archwell's 2024 tax return and reorganisation as a "philanthropy."

So. Many. Red. Flags.

Name change is Probably so they can call themselves philanthropists 😁

@Puzzledandpissedoff quite.
