PR disasters thread 4

One stop shop for all As ever, Archewell, Meg n Harry disasters

I thought so too .
What a busy chap Harry has been ; slaying dragons in London , film festival in Utah and now surfing somewhere in California !

It has definitely been enhanced if not AI, doesn't look remotely real. Life long surfer here, Harry is catching waves at a school pool, predictable, set size, slow wave, really easy. Typhoon lagoon waves are scarier!
Not even similar to surfing off the coast. How would his security work in open water environment. Surfs punks would break his board, then he really would waaaaagh.

Found a random article on royal surfing - love the diagram of the surf pool opened by the Duke of Gloucester

More PR disasters - Netflix apparently has so much As Ever stock in their HQ that they are "literally giving it away"

It's all very controlled in a pool like that. Why is he not on the high seas after 6 years?

I've heard that it's also being used in the chocolate before its expiry date.

I don't understand why after all of these years Harry is still surfing in the manmade training pool rather than the Californian ocean coast? Has he not graduated to real waves? Or is it a PR thing that he gets paid for advertising the surf training pool?

I'm sure - back in the day - that Harry used to surf with William in Cornwall. IIRC William learned to surf at St Andrews (where you need to be tough and have a wee dram to keep the cold out!)

It's actually not safe for Harry surf in Cali. Otters have been mugging surfers in Santa Cruz. What if it spread to LA?

Wow!

Jam for breakfast…

LOL 😂

We saw them in the sea at Monterey many years ago and it's a memory that doesn't fade! Drifting about on their backs, some cuddling pups, I wouldn't mind being mugged by those beauties!

Probably Harry doesn’t think it is “safe” for him to surf in the open water, where he might gasp encounter a member of the general public. I imagine he prefers the pool because he can insist the whole place is closed down for him to use exclusively (probably in exchange for them using footage of him on their socials as publicity)

It’s all a bit sad really. Does he have any friends other than his wife and his paid employees now?

Yeah the Taliban and those paps might pop up from the sea ! 🙄

I have a friend who has been bitten by a horse, large python and a seal over the course of her life. She says the seal bite was the worst. I must warn her to never swim near sea otters as she seems to have an animal attack radar.

I learnt on here that sea otters are evil. I wouldn't Google it.

South Park taught me that sea otters are evil 🤣

Oh @RecoIIectionsMayVary - You have now put the idea of googling sea otters into my head .

I have a border terrier and they are described as having an otter shaped head. Mine would be more likely to lick someone that bite them 😂

I now have in my head some lovely normal otters saying "A sea otter did it and swam away"

‘You won’t know him, he belongs to a different raft’.

Are they singing sea otters ?

So Meg has posted another bizarre photo. However, what is most noticeable, is the deterioration of garden/grounds.

So they have a boules court or bocce. Harry was pictured with Archie, when they first moved to the property on the court. This is a mansion from the 2000s, I suspect the court was put in at this time. In 2021, after they’ve just bought the house….you can see the gravel court has been maintained. That’s 17 years of it being maintained. However, fast forward 6 years under Harry and Meghan and it’s clearly been abandoned. Moss has grown over the shady parts. The gravel looks embedded.

If they had full time gardeners, the area would be raked regularly to keep the moss away. Top ups of gravel when needed and miss killer applied if need be. That a long time for moss to grow like that. Minimum months…most probably years.

The property is clearly way too big for them to maintain. We already know they can’t afford to refit the house, but it’s looks like they can’t eve maintain what they’ve got.

Also some pics of some very smart bocce courts, where there are shady trees but the gravel is clearly maintained.

Stolen off X

What the hell is that photo?! 😂 it’s completely creepy. I don’t get it!

Good point @AtIusvueon the property maintenance, does seem quite clear to me that they are cutting costs in some areas.

I saw on twitter someone posted a graphic she’d posted showing a new “sweetheart bundle” of products for Valentine’s Day, but what really struck me was how amateur the design was - text off centre, photos getting cropped off the side, fuzzy font. Definitely not done by a professional as you’d expect if she was making any money from the business.
