Harry and Meghan on another pretendy royal tour

[ParrotsAndLions]

This time to Jordan. What do they bring to it, exactly? What is their role? To bring attention to the issue of Syrian refugees? Jordan is dealing with them fine.

What are they there for? In what capacity?

Who was footing the bill for their accommodation and flights I wonder? Shades of Andrew.

I’d love to know who Harry was gibbering this at, when ‘interviewed’ by Channel 4 News in Jordan:

"There is a lot of stuff in the news…and it drops out of the news…So I think it was a really important time for us to collaborate..and shine a light".

Is he actively trying to sabotage the Birmingham Invictus Games? Would he like the multi-cultural population of Birmingham to put ‘it’ properly in the news? Does he want Israel to pull out of participating? What about the build-up events this year - how are they shaping up, and what are the security costs looking like (and who’s paying?)

P.s. Harry - there’s this place called Gorton and Denton in England, a very bigly news story in the UK that just happened, and Gaza was a big thing in it, and the Greens won because of it.

Or are you, Harry, addressing your adoptive homeland the US with your preaching about Gaza’s newsworthiness, at the same time as the US attacks Iran alongside the US’s Middle Eastern allies Israel? How do your Invictus chums feel about it all? One can only wonder.

Well they got out just in time.
Wonder if they’ll have some words of wisdom about the escalation in the ME? 🤔

No. It's about a man who is prepared to make simplistic and foolish statements.
Why doesn't he find out for himself?
The Palestinian Ambassador has criticised him.
He should inform himself or stay out of it.
He is not personally equipped to get into this.
I am always amazed by those who support his actions unequivocally.
Just because he's a Prince?

I always wonder that.

And to further prove my posts at the beginning of this thread correct!
the hashtag “ duke and Duchess of hamas “ are now on sm!
of course all this could have been avoided had they stayed at home and kept their gobs shut!

It's his level of arrogance and entitlement. He can go back to California and juggle and surf. She can go back to the jam and the flower sprinkles. In the meantime, people are trying to survive in warzones and it's offensive to make any kind of pronouncements just because it makes you feel important.

True! And I’m particularly disgusted with the use of injured children as a pr vehicle.

They won't though, because what do they need?
Royal tours, where they can be deferred to, get the headlines, the photos and have the opportunity to cosplay that they are somehow significant global figures.
At first I just ignored them, because I thought they were just a bit silly, but I actually think their folly could be quite damaging.

And parading said children on SM when they preach about the dangers of doing so. They really are blind to their hypocrisy.

👍

I hope Invictus finally slings him out.

And to those posters who disagreed with me and said he’s a private person, no he isn’t, not while he and his wife tote around senior royal titles and use them for every venture.
Rueters referred to him as “ Britain’s prince Harry “ in their reports, every thing they do reflects on the U.K. and the government apparently can’t be bothered to properly distance us from them.
what next? , will he comment on Putin publicly and end up antagonising him into bombing us?

It’s a ‘step up’ from the dead children they usually exploit - Uvalde / The Parent’s Network.

There are no depths to which they won’t descend to keep their profile high so they can flog UPFs and tat online.

Grim reaper grifters.

Oh wowsers, so it is. It’s all over the place now, including this AI mocked up photograph of them in khaki hamas costumes. I’ve marked it sensitive. Don’t look if it’ll offend you.

And probs many Americans and British.

The ‘useful idiot’ strikes again.

Oh heck that image is, err naughty..(and an example of how scary AI is getting).

Indeed! I wonder now at posters who defended this tour and clearly thought I was exaggerating or being “ hateful “ .

To be fair to them, Lady Luck definitely doesn’t seem to favour them 😂

Totally agree with you. Their “tours” seem to be increasingly political and now cosying up to British officials. This needs addressing properly. The tittles need to go.

How silly. I just think that some people must be such royalists that they will always defer to a Prince, even one who isn't officially royal.
"Royal tour" is just something that some will accept without question.

They certainly seem to be taken the Israeli statement as the truth. It isn’t.

Very definitive - perhaps you have some inside information?

The Israeli deputy foreign minister's statement is below. If untrue, no doubt UK or US sources can clarify their particular roles.
I do find it interesting that the Palestinian ambassador to Congo and Ivory Coast has comments reported by the mainstream media, but the Israeli deputy foreign minister does not.

“Prince Harry,

With all due respect, before using your global platform to level accusations against Israel, I would suggest a very simple step: come and see for yourself.

I personally invite you to visit the humanitarian corridor and witness firsthand how aid is coordinated and delivered. You are welcome to speak directly with the British general serving at the CMCC center — the British representative who acts as deputy commander alongside the American forces overseeing the movement of humanitarian goods. He will tell you clearly: the corridors are open, and thousands of trucks are entering every day.

It is deeply disappointing to see influential figures amplify claims without verifying them. With the reach and authority you carry as a member of the British royal family, words matter. Facts matter even more.

Frankly, repeating demonstrably false narratives raises serious questions — and one might say that if your trousers were on fire, you might not even notice. That is how detached these claims are from reality.

The invitation stands. Come. See. Speak to those on the ground. Then judge.” - Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel.

You and me both, jeff, though looking on the bright side at least Meghan managed to pay attention this time and not go looking for a better camera opportunity

As for both Israelis and Gazans being offended, with a subject as toxic as this just about anything anyone says will offend somebody - which is another good reason for someone as limited as Harry to leave it well alone

Not good - yet apparently I was 'morally bankrupt' for suggesting that preparations for a royal tour would have checked out the background of staff from the youth charity better than their PR company did, when several of the staff were shown actively to support Hamas.

Well quite! , I’m wondering if @CurlewKatewould like to come back and explain to us why this isn’t about H and M !
because as far as I can tell it’s all about them as usual!
no one on sm are discussing the refugees or the injured children, they are discussing the monumental cock ups that have ensued from two totally unqualified and incompetent people who don’t even have the basic skills to research before doing anything.
