PR disasters thread 4

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

It's a fair point, TheAutumnCrow, except haven't the MoD also been hoodwinked in some ways if the essentials of the story are true?

How he loves her so much etc;?

For you

Poor Archie, only mentioned as an afterthought.

For parents that talk about the dangers of social media and wanting privacy, they are showing us more and more of their children’s faces!

It is, however, a nice photo.

Not hiding her face so much eh?

so weird that Archie is always the forgotten child.

Is it the same bunch of balloons used in the photo for the jam? Budget constraints?

Again it’s so 2012 SM “These two…” criiiinngggggge

I can’t believe she left Archie out of the picture.

I can . Archie seems to be an afterthought on so many occasions.

Poor wee Archie. Not good enough to make the cut, yet again. Brutal.

Hmmm she needs to shift her stock…so shows her daughter’s face. Such hypocrisy, as ever.

It really is so sad. Is Archie meaningless to her?

It's like that insurance policy ad on tv ...

I meant to post this here, but posted it on the other thread …

She looks cute, strong Markle genes, Harry must be gutted about the Spencer gene being ousted by the Markle gene, he was so proud to share in a TV interview his Spencer genes were stronger than Meghan’s.

Maybe Archie doesn’t have the patience to cooperate with the setting up and staging of his Moms photo shoots, or maybe something else is going on.

I think the +Archie comment is Meghan trolling for a bit of controversy to drive engagement, she is so transparent LOL.

It's a nice photo. Her Instagram has a rather incoherent message in that it seems an awkward mix of advertising and personal stuff but that is how starter influencers tend to post. The more experienced ones blend the two better.

Wha kind of person uses their DCs to drive controversy? It’s even stranger after H’s comments to the parents who are suing the social media firms. He was quite emotional about it and I think he was being quite genuine. Why then would he allow his 4 yo dd to be pictured on Instagram?

Because he’s thick as shit

And @JSMill when Harry has documented how much being the spare has affected him.

She chose that pic to deliberately
link to her As ever Valentines promotion, where she was holding the balloons with jam, in her garden.

These are clearly the same balloons, but now her daughter holding them, in the garden. So it’s merching Lili.

She has never wanted Archie associated with As ever. It was why the cover page of her website was Meg and LIli running. It’s why in People magazine when she was launching As ever, she talked about passing the company on as a legacy for Lili, not Archie.

Archie, for whatever reason, she doesn’t believe is good for her business image. He’s been cut out from the family branding. There were lots of pics and videos of him as a baby and toddler- now next to nothing and when there is, it’s usually in a pic with Lili.

It all very calculated.

The balloons look odd to me. I can't figure out how the bottom left balloon is attached to the bunch as I can't see a ribbon!

But I agree, they're practically showing all of Lili's face in this, although I'm sure they'd deny it. It's sad they're stooping to merching Lili so young but also completely hypocritical after all their protestations about the dangers of the Internet.

I don't understand how two people can be so seemingly oblivious to the hypocrisy. They wanted to be private individuals: so why do I know more about their kids than I do about Mike and Zara's? Simple answer: they themselves are putting this stuff out there about them. Shameless.

God I really would hope that is not the case! One day he is going to be old enough to see all of this !

That balloon photo does look somewhat photoshopped or otherwise AI-altered. Maybe nothing in it is really real.

Only a couple of days ago he was blubbing with families about social media. They must think what the heck ? Before anyone says " oh but it was the children using social media" isn't it even worse if it is the parent putting the child on social media?

I really don't understand the disconnect between lecturing parents to not put their children on SM because of pressures/dangers but then using your child for Instagram posts and to merch jam.

It's like there are 2 different PR teams trying to sell 2 different, uncoordinated, messages,

Agree - it just doesn’t make sense.

Of course there is a difference between your child using social media and their image being added online by the parent, but Harry himself has explicitly said that people should be very concerned and worried about putting images of their children online. He’s also talked at length about the harms of growing up in the public eye that he experienced - yet his wife is posting more and more photos and videos of their children on social media, and now cannot even hide behind the excuse that she’s only showing the back of their heads. I wonder sometimes how much Harry is aware of what she’s actually posting online, but even if he didn’t see it directly (if he really doesn’t use social media, which I doubt), it gets re-shared in all the MSM that he hates, and we know that they’re both obsessive about reading everything about themselves so I can’t see how he could not be aware.

I note on the other thread their fans are desperately trying to defend this by claiming a. It’s not a full frontal face shot so it doesn’t count and b. They’ve never said it’s bad to put photos of your child online. It’s laughable really.
