I addressed the pp comment so my comment was relevant.

Do you have any relevant comments about H and M s PR?

There is plenty to discuss about other RF members. There is a lot going on, especially with dirty Andrew but also the others. There is room for all threads, it’s not like the board has a limit on the number of threads posted each week.

I don’t want to repeat everything I said previously however Princess Anne visiting a Retirement Home is never going to generate news unless she started a naked conga or something . She and other working royals are just getting on with stuff .
As far as AMW is concerned , the almost universal opinion is that he is a despicable, arrogant , untrustworthy person . If every poster on a thread agrees there really isn’t much of a discussion is there ?
Poster 1 “ don’t you think AMW is awful because of xyz?”
Poster 2” I agree”
Poster 3 “ I agree”
But each time new allegations emerge , they will be discussed .
Maybe if H and M didn’t make such a pig’s ear of everything and just “ showed up and do good”, there wouldn’t be as many threads .

Who would you like to discuss @Slothing?

Let’s not encourage the derailing mylovely , there are ample threads available for posters to discuss Andrew , C and W , Christmas Day walks etc..

People know that it isn’t usually the case. People say it’s the Harry and Meghan board because that it what it has been up until a week or two ago. Hopefully the discussion on other members of the Royal family will continue to be more common on here. I’ve asked my first question here in about 2 years, encouraged by other threads here, so hopefully others will feel they can do the same now and this is a permanent change. The board will be better if that’s the case. The change seems to have annoyed people but I don’t understand why it should as they can still talk about what they want to as well. It’s all good.

Which people say this?

Puzzledandpissedoff · 02/01/2026 18:27

IMHO, H is almost out of time and seems not to realise it

Doesn't realise it or can't bear to face the reality, @My2cents1975?

I don't pretend to know either way but it can't be an easy situation to be in, especially when it's all of their own doing, and insisting everything's everyone else's fault isn't going to stave off that reality for ever or even much longer

They still have each other and two lovely children, so now everything else has gone let's just hope it's enough

It could be a bit of both.

H has never struck me as a person who takes time to introspect. This is someone who, decades after his mother took him to visit homeless shelters, decided as a fully grown man in his thirties that his distress at having the smaller half of his DGM's palace nursery was a real grievance worth sharing. His default setting seems to be "the victimiest victim that ever victimed".

On the other hand, all of us over a certain age, have experienced our moments of denial where we have refused to face the truth about a loved one, a friend or a situation, because we are trying to avoid the raw emotional fallout. And for some time, however false and fleeting, denial provides a refuge from pain. So H, could very well be in denial to avoid dealing with fallout.

jeffgoldblum · 02/01/2026 20:09

It’s been proffered on a different platform that H and m really don’t want people noticing or discussing their loss of two big members of staff particularly the pr queen! , so obviously that means I wish to discuss this further! 🤣 but I can’t help but think about the upcoming January court case… unreliable witness that’s recanted his statement that got many onboard….paying for witnesses and evidence….aggressive means of gathering evidence…. A judge who has had enough! , it’s going to be very interesting and what pr will that produce I wonder 🤔

Excuse me? On that thread I have explained a few times that I was directly replying to a poster who wrote a comment calling Meghan a fool because she makes mistakes and using words no one understand and in their comment they made a mistake and created a word noone understood and so I was curious to find out if that poster then considered themselves a fool for doing the exact same thing. That is different to joyfully pointing out a single mistake as you phrase it.

You've ignored all of that and now attacking me incorrectly on a different thread no less. Don't you think that is wrong to be calling someone a fool for doing x and then doing it yourself but not accepting that also means you are a fool?

That was my comment @Jbum- I made a ‘fat finger’ typo … I don’t tend to use words that mean one thing for a different meaning like Megain (purposeful typo here). I wasn’t publishing a ‘polished article / programme’ it was a quick response to a thread that I didn’t bother to proof read. I’ve noticed you’ve made a load of spelling mistakes, yet I’ve not ‘clapped back’ at you … unless there was a word I used out of context / malaprop in which case let me know and I’ll either explain it or learn from my mistake

Some advice from the Times to H&M
An open letter to Meghan and Harry: here’s how to move on from your annus horribilis

I'm catching up and have only got this far but this. So much this.

"Instead of just showing up to collect humanitarian of the year awards, try doing actual humanitarian work."

And the RAVEC review. Wonder what the PR will produce for that outcome? If Liam Maguire has any sense he won't allow a TV interview crew within 2 miles of either if his clients - unless of course the review goes Harry's way, and then all bets are off (highly unlikely outcome, but never say never).

Really we should never find out about the outcome but I suspect we will because Harry can’t keep his gob shut, and he will either want to gloat about the outcome if it goes his way or kick off about it if it doesn’t.

Sensible as always, MrsLF

Trouble is that would involve focusing on the needs of others, and others only seem to be of use for photo ops, PR and silly speeches about how wonderful they are in driving compassion which is notably absent in their personal dealings

Mylovelygreendress · 03/01/2026 10:40

Can I just clarify ; is Harry wanting 24/7 armed security provided only in the U.K. or is he wanting it regardless of where he is ?
I recall the statement ( which was removed) that he was an IPP and wondered if that’s what he is hankering after .

The word was “ uswra “ chunky obviously a slip for “us” or “use” , we all knew what it meant at the time , there was no reason to mention it , no you didn’t use a word incorrectly.

This is the rub mylovely , nobody including Harry seems to know what he actually wants! 🤷‍♀️
I think personally that he wants his security funded by taxpayers wherever he is ( but I imagine his advisers have probably told him that this is A never going to happen B not going to be popular)

They do need to change their rhetoric. Even in the magazine article before Christmas it was notable that when meeting school children Meghan talked about her experiences rather than asking about theirs. Humanitarian work needs to be focused outwards not inwards.

So I have a question that had never occurred to me before. Was Harry ever an IPP? Did he just assume he was because William was and because he had full time security at that point in his life?
