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.

Its Christmas, of course people are unlikely to be posting. I haven't been as there hasn't been time to come on here recentlt. Its hardly surprising and pretty obvious why people aren't 🤨 it'll be same for new yrs eve/day too then people will be preparing to go back to work or doing things with their kids of they are still off.

There is a life to live 💁

Sure….

Then the previous owner of the house in Montecito was the dubious Russian businessman/money launderer Sergey Grishin who died in unclear circumstances in Moscow.

He was also accused of domestic abuse and sold the house to the Harolds for some $10m or so less than the price he paid.

Murky.

How in the world of weed would he achieve that? 😂

He won't.

An embittered spare railing at the universe for being born second isn't going to cut it.

The ever more detailed emerging scandals, the cover-ups, the secrecy, the greed and the downright laziness of the billionaire why bother heir is the story.

I mean… I think H will go all out on trying to take down the monarchy after Charles dies.

If I can’t have it nor can you.

He really is that childish.

He can try. But even he must surely be aware that William will be far less inclined to soft soap him, or give him any money, than Charles as his dad has been. So an all out attack should really only be undertaken if he's confident he won't be asking for any financial help ever again. I don't think they're in that position.

I wrote that a post was embarrassing. That’s it. No name was tagged in my message.

Im guessing it’s the same MN moderator from the other day.

What a joke, being deleted for saying a post is embarrassing, is it against talk guidelines now to have an opinion on an actual post now?

I agree, it’s not ok and really not in the spirit of the site.

Why is there a big deal.over a post being deleted? Mine was? So? Someone reported it, the ad.in of the site must of agreed it broke guidelines and deleted it.

They are still posting just not on this thread.

Yeah the Sandringham church walk thread has suddenly exploded with anti-Wales concern trolling in the last 24 hours from 4-5 pages to about 13.

Funny how that happened 4 days after Christmas at the same time that the sacking of Archewell's senior leadership was announced - distraction methinks.

Pack of lies in here about The Parents Network that they launched (seemingly to bolster MM flagging reputation so she could flog more jam) - why haven’t they mentioned that they have since off-loaded these poor suffering parents since their rebrand from a foundation to a philanthropy.

Well that poster was saying what a fo they were for using unknown words a d making mistakes...don't you find that ironic that the poster berating them for doing theb does the exact same thing? I mean its kinda funny lol

I suppose if I made a statement a what a fool it is if people make typos and then go on to do so then your comment would been right but as I haven't then meh I made a few typos so what we all .ake mistakes doesn't make us all fools though does it

You don't need to be so rude and I wasn't responding to you so if ot sure why you feel the need to make such a rude comment to me.

I don't think PP was being rude - your post at 22.53 was pretty hard to understand.

This is why Liam will invariably fail.

It has been six years of attacking the Wales family, directly and by proxy, with particular malevolent vitriol directed towards Catherine.

The PR strategy of attacking the Wales family has not improved H&M's standing one iota. Their PR accusations led to a closer scrutiny of the Wales family which ironically led to more and more people arriving at the conclusion that there was no there...there. And has led to the Wales family gaining fans for their composure in face of orchestrated PR attacks.

By doubling-down, tripling-down and quadrupling-down on a failed strategy, Liam is accelerating H&M's brand collapse...when IMHO, this is the last roll of the dice. The next generation is starting to pull headlines and no amount of "waaaaagghhh" from 40-somethings can compete with a new generation of teens and twenty-somethings.

It's often said that MM works hard and she has said that she pores over the details of things but I don't think that is true at all

As others have said that’s potentially one reason why she’s running into problems. Launching a business at scale (as she did) means you have to be able to deliver through others - no one person will have the time, or indeed the skillset, to make all the creative/financial/operational/logistical decisions that are needed. You need to be able to delegate and accept the team you have hired to deliver various aspects know what they are doing.

That’s not something people find easy - especially not perfectionists (because their innate tendency is to believe they will do something better). But Meghan has had several years now of working with a team to support her in her various endeavours, it’s something she should have been able to develop.

Thing is though, with my jam spread fixation on this thread, we have found that the jam company already had a deal with Netflix, who were also working with the Sussexes.

So it's looking like she did not launch a company at scale. Everything was already there. All she had to was sign the dotted, do a vid on her love of jam spread etc, and the wheels and cogs kept spinning as before, just with an added label.

It's not as if she was out leasing a factory, recruiting jam spread makers, getting bank loans to buy equipment, auditing raspberry growers, negotiating prices on jars, blah blah.

Effectively, less effort and risk than becoming an Amway agent.

She’ll be buying a PhD next and calling herself an intellectual.

Funny enough, last week or so I was looking up the Clinton foundation, to compare with Archiewell. Chealsea has a Doctorate. She has a fair number of degrees, and teaches at Columbia. AND she finds the time to be a Clinton foundation VP. Written lots of books etc, and as far as I am aware, has never been in the news re PR staff.

I agree some of that thread is now bandwagoning rather than reflecting the discussion of issues in eg The Telegraph.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/12/30/charlotte-pat-george-back-prepared-modern-royal-life/

https://archive.ph/EgENv

There is certainly a discussion to be had. I hope it happens fairly for the most part.

However the ‘bulking out’ of that thread and indeed the Royal Family board with the whole selection box of critical comments about William & Catherine is getting a bit obvious now.

It’s as though the tactic is, throw everything at it and see if anything sticks. Now where have we seen that before ..? 🤔
