Further pr discussions with the lone gunman now in charge!

[jeffgoldblum]

im hoping that @Atlusvuewill not mind me continuing her work, I have a feeling that there is more to discuss and come!

It's "sources" again, but i did wonder about this given that it's not long since a review was mentioned and such things will take time - especially when Harry's not an obvious priority

As for the possibility of it all being lies ... well, nothing new there

There is a really obvious PR (and social media) barrage at the moment, for Harry in particular.

The media stuff is entertaining in a car crash sort of way, but the social media tactics are really tedious and exhausting.

Obvious is the word, @elessar
It won't work because there's nothing behind it except Harry's victim mentality and obvious desperation, but I suppose they've got to try ...

Typo

We had this last year with the wanting to meet his father and then nothing came of it. It's always assertions and insinuation with those pair. It's been like that since the start.

Do Heads of State open the Invictus Games? I've not been that interested in it but i thought someone might know.

Alongside the pro H&M stuff is also a pretty transparent anti W&C narrative. The rehashing of old lies is the most obvious part.

I don’t think so @MrsLeonFarrell but I’m not sure, however as it was originally started with both brothers it would be more appropriate for William to join him !
obviously this will not happen 1 because Harry won’t ask 2 because William will never do it!

I think the same. Invictus is not a cause that KC is associated with. I would be very surprised if he attended, it just isn’t his bag. William is the obvious choice but that won’t happen. So no, there won’t be any royal representation at the IG.

Quite! , Harry is desperate to manifest royal support for his charity, perhaps he’s finally realised that most people don’t think of him as royal anymore or just not royal enough on his own merits!

It makes sense for Edward and Sophie to represent the King. They have a track record that is relevant to Invictus. If they want more people there send Zara and Mike (sports people) or the York girls (cousins). Aside from family dynamics if the King or the Wales' attend it will divert every scrap of publicity away from the Games. Surely Invictus don't want that?

zara and Mike would be the obvious choices (sporty) but maybe not royal enough.

Don’t misunderstand me @KnickerlessParsons , I don’t think invictus needs royalty to support it , but clearly Harry and the sponsors must think so?!
it was started and should be about the wounded veterans.

I think Mike Tindal's opinion of Harry (bell end) would make it unlikely he would want to step up, also isn't ex military. Unless Birmingham council finances improve I don't see how the games can be held. Who will pay for police, security, the venue etc

I can't see anyone Royal, wanting to do anything that pisses off William. Even B & E who have been closer to Harry can't risk it now.

No, Meghan does.

usually a few dignitaries show up through the event and attend for the closing ceremony.

Invictus 2027 is taking place around Camilla’s 80th birthday and various events including a ball and a service of Thanksgiving are planned so not sure the Royals will have much spare time .

I have just remembered something!!!, the inclusion of Isreal! , regardless of opinions, this is going to be somewhat controversial, I doubt any of the royals, particularly Charles will want to be involved.

My promotion was nailed on as well, until KC3 personally intervened... it's the only explanation... 😂

🤣🤣🤣 without a doubt @Baital! I’m crushed for you and disgusted that Charles would interfere like this! 😡🤣🤣

@Baital & @jeffgoldblum 😂😂 & 💐to both of you .

Before Christmas DH & I bought DC some iPods ( for delivery before Christmas because I like wrapping things ) . They did not arrive on the day specified , nor the day afterwards. DH spent ages on one of those chat things with customer services from the manufacturer and the courier company being sent from pillar to post. We had paid for them ( not just offered to pay afterwards which would have been deniable - we're not stupid unlike - well lets not go there 😉) .

I wonder now if Charles decided in the spirit of Christmas he would allow our little parcel to be delivered by removing his intervention. We shall never know , but at the time we put it down to cock up not conspiracy. Mayhap we were wrong 😂

You have both made me laugh - Thank you

ETA flowers

Could be @BasiliskStare ! It wasn’t called Royal Mail for nothing! 😉🤣

sometimes - looking at you , nicely, MNHQ , the laugh emoji is just that . Just a laugh . Anyway , not my choice. No offence.

Jeff , on a day when I needed a smile or a laugh, for reasons , you amongst others have given me one - so thank you . Now it was actually DPD so do you think I should put an FOI request in ? Oh that won't work will it... 😂

DPD you say? , could be code ? ….definitely postpone delivery? …🤔

💐 everyone needs a lift from time to time @BasiliskStare , I joke because, without humour I would be joining you! 😢 ( damn hormones!)

That pesky King gets everywhere... 😡😂

He does… rumour has it that my rare cooking fail of yesterday was in fact down to Charles literally sticking his fingers in too many pies… including mine 🥧 unfortunately!!! 😡😡🤣
