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

That's what I was wondering.

What's the borderline between 'stalker' and 'obsessive fan'?

And you certainly don't need high level police protection to deal with an unarmed middle aged woman who lives on another continent.

I think it was a really good statement from Harry, and I applaud him for it. I think he got the tone just right. Great PR for him.

Pretty much negated by Meghan's ham fisted posting of those photos. Which just makes it look like obvious PR to try to boost THEIR profile rather than a genuine sentiment from one veteran to others.

Once again - they can't help but step on each others toes regards PR.

As with Rebecca English he'll probably claim he was "forced to", for fear of what she might otherwise do

Or something ...

Honestly she obviously can’t have been deemed to post a significant threat or she would not have been allowed to enter the court. Also I assume that courts have a degree of security to enter - presumably bag searches and metal detectors - so you couldn’t get in if you were armed.

I think again this is Harry/Liam trying to blow this up to demonstrate how at risk he is but in my mind this totally undermines his point. The fact is, he had his normal private security present who were aware of the “stalker” - and nothing happened to him, no risk, no threat, non event. Nothing to suggest he needs police protection (and RAVEC obviously didn’t assess it was needed for this visit either - which gives me some encouragement for the outcome of his formal risk assessment)

On a different topic, I saw this article earlier - saying that Harry apparently coached Brooklyn Beckham ahead of his explosive Instagram posts.

If true, more fool Brooklyn. I mean who in their right mind would look at Harry and think this is a person who has managed a family fall out successfully?!

Looks like she was welcomed by H&M as part of the SS - so was personally invited to specific events by then as a guest. Maybe she then overstepped? Could easily transition from one to another depending on the pattern of behaviours encountered.

… and let’s not forget who hates Posh and Becks …. Madam Markle …. I’d bet money Brooklyn is as dim as Hazza and she’s played him too

We should open a book on how long it takes for the Sussexes and the Peltz Beckhams to fall out.

🤣

I was harassed and stalked, as are hundreds of thousands of women in the UK. The police arranged for my letterbox to be boarded up, and I was also provided with a post box on the wall, an outside light, door chain & wall mirror, and they checked my locks were strong. I was loaned a hardwired alarm for a whole week, woo hoo.

And that was it. ‘Ring us if he turns up again’. I was alone with two young DC and it was horrendous. I had to get them to school, get to work, pick them up, get home, all the while looking over my shoulder.

And that was considered a decent service, provided because I was in a relatively medium/high profile job at the time.

Harry has no idea what women in the UK endure day in, day out, just to go to work and to exist quietly and safely. I absolutely detest the way he exposed so many women to media intrusion and unnecessary speculative interest via Spare, his money-making prurient autobiography. The misogyny drips off the pages.

Harry: only one chance to tell your story?
Wtf? He hasn’t stopped banging on about it for 6 years!

This stalker?

This is what happens when you invite the devil to dine with you and then you try to cast them out.

I’m sorry you had to go through that. I remember one of my uni room mates had to be moved because she was being stalked by an ex. This was in the same week when another student from the same university was killed her ex, who had also been stalking her. I was 19 and it was an eye opener to what some men were capable of. I always think of women in these situations and how little support and practical help they get when H is whining about feeling unsafe in the UK.

Has this ‘stalker’ actually done anything to him, or is this more has Harry using this as an excuse to try to bump up his need for security … the cynic in me wonders if this squaddie is taking one for the Team Sussex. It would not surprise me, look at all those bought prizes … “who, me, the best pilot / rage against racism / veteran …. “

Wonder if they advised BB to go "no contact" - thing is H&M are (as far as we can guess) no contact because the Royal Family are very sensibly grey rocking them. ie, presumably it wasn't their choice. Meanwhile (as far as we can tell) the Beckhams have kept the door open. So it's a bit of a different situation.

"The agreement led to <a class="break-all" href="https://archive.is/o/FdfQu/www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2023/01/20/harry-meghan-becomes-second-successful-netflix-documentary-ever/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Harry & Meghan – a six-part documentary series following the couple’s exit from the Royal family."

I must be very slow and stupid, but in my defence I never watched any of the Netflix shows except for short excerpts posted on line. But I did see a short clip of Harry looking very excited about his "freedom flight". The announcement of their deal with Netflix came some time after that, after covid I think. So did they have a Netflix crew or their own camera crew following them around long before the freedom flight? It's makes me so cross that Meghan obviously had this planned right from the start, yet she had all that goodwill from the UK at first, with their £30 million wedding spectacle. I really wish HMTLQ had put her foot down and said divorcees get married in the registry office and have a party after. Of course there would have been a massive tantrum, and the welcoming British public would have been among those accusing the Royals of being unwelcoming or worse the R word. They really were between a rock and a hard place.

However H&M are professional victims when they’re the ones in the wrong … so I think it’s actually good the Beckhams are keeping the door open, unless B&N decide to go all spy tech and start recording them. Saying that, they’ve kept the ‘billionaire’ family on side so they won’t end up scrounging for money / gains like H&M lol

I think it's the same woman who shouted "I support you Prince Harry" at a court hearing last year.

Harry has posed for photos with her in the past at Invictus events and she seems to have been at events in several countries - UK, Nigeria and I think Canada. IIRC she was invited to an Invictus church service by Invictus.

She sounds more like a squaddie or over-zealous fan who has been involved with the Sussexes as they don't seem to have regarded her as a stalker until recently. But it suits his purposes to call her a stalker while his security is under review

Apparently she has been boasting to her fellow squaddies on X about sitting behind him, which is so funny, as all she would have seen is his massive Friar Tuck bald spot.

I don't understand why he hasn't taken out an injunction against her, if he really fears she is a stalker rather than a fan. Emma Raducana had a fixated fan removed from one of her tennis matches, he was arrested.

I think he wants to make a super volcano out of an anthill … again!

As a super fan surely it would be pretty embarrassing to be called a fixated stalker by the very person you look up to so much? These people are just bizarre.

The fact that he hasn't, and that no police or security personnel were concerned enough to remove her, rather negates the effect he's trying to create.

Anyway Meghan is no longer a trad wife/jam maker but a hip cool indie film producer at Sundance. Keep up.
