For Meghan and Harry, As ever and Archewell posts.

Oops - when a Palestinian Ambassador calls you out and you get embroiled in news which is negative for Invictus.

And then your contribution to a Palestinian supporting organisation is brought up. Oops. Too many fingers in too many pies.

Yes, Harry welcomed the Israel IDF to Invictus when they were already being investigated for breaching UN resolutions and accused of human rights violations. Harry played a big part in helping to legitimise the IDF on the Invictus stage and Israeli politicians milked it for all it was worth. One of the IDF veterans hailed Harry as a ‘king’.

This is why he looks awfully hypocritical in Jordan right now with his pretendy concerns; and why I think having the Invictus games in Birmingham next year will be an expensive mess.

I remember when the Mail first reported the story (and is probably another reason why Harry dislikes ANL so much.)

He’s absolutely right.

This is better, but who on earth let this happen.

What the fuck even is a ‘humanitarian visit’ by these two?

Not sure what’s going on….they were invited to the British embassy….they weren’t?
Anyway…the trip has been seen as inappropriate

Are they saying they gatecrashed a reception at the embassy?

Yes, enabled by Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (PhD), who did have an iftar invitation. TAG is quite a political operator.

And yet, until quite recently Andrew was a full royal, and even now remains in the line of succession, and enjoys financial and other support from The Firm. I'm not particularly a Royalist, but I'd definitely prefer to have Harry in the family instead of Andrew.

Omg they are shameless.

Luckily it’s not an either/or situation. They can both be parted from their styles, titles and honours, and they can both be removed from the LoS and from the roll of CoS. Andrew first, preferably, accompanied by an investigation of his daughters.

Agreed - they "can" be. On the whole, though, there's been little action on the Andrew front unless the RF were absolutely forced into it. The Epstein papers appear to reveal info that suggests the RF were at least aware, if not complicit, of Andrew's carryings on. And the secrecy over the payout to Virginia Guiffre - I will not be at all surprised if it transpires that taxpayer's money was used for this.

I hope it all comes out. I think finally that journalists are on it. It would good to see them catch up with book writers, social media commentators and You Tube channel creators. Even some politicians seem to be better investigators than a lot of journalists have been.

I also hope that Harry’s ‘charitable endeavours’ are throughly trawled. He learned how to operate from the royals including the Yorks.

Just because Andrew is an absolute fright of a man doesn’t make Harry or his behaviour ok.

Agree entirely!

They were used by the Dr.

It’s very clear that government officials felt unable to speak up about Andrew when he was a trade envoy and look how that ended up. Yet now we have M and H skipping around Jordan with Dr Tedros, who is a bit of a controversial figure himself, and carrying out visits that have political themes and then visiting the British embassy. It makes the visit look like it has government blessing. Yet the FO stays silent. When will they learn?

Looks as if Amazon have caught on to the downward trend. I was looking for a card with a RF theme for an elderly acquaintance who loves everything RF, but could find hardly anything. The little available was being offered very cheaply (including tins of biscuits and tins of tea).

Meghan will be wailing " what the heck - I took my jewellery off, wore dowdy clothes and put on a suitable face for most of the trip and we're still getting criticised " 😂

So basically, it's easier to gatecrash a reception at the British Embassy than an audience with the King of Jordan.

The King comes out of this considerably better than the ambassador.

Wow, another ‘invite / non invite ’ for the disastrous duo.

But a source with knowledge of the trip has said the British Ambassador had not invited Harry and Meghan to his reception marking Iftar - the meal eaten by Muslims at sunset to break their fast during Ramadan.

The invitation had been to Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO). He had then asked the Duke and Duchess along as his guests, it is understood.

The source insisted that the British Government had not been involved in arranging or facilitating their trip because they are 'private citizens'.

and of course the Markles statement,

The couple had said in their own press release this week: 'At sunset, the Duke and Duchess joined World Health Organisation officials and Embassy staff at the British Ambassador’s residence for Iftar as day one closed with a renewed sense of urgency and resolve.'

Its bad enough going as Tedros +2, but trying to obfuscate it by making a statement so it looks like a personal invite to them. Gotta love how are they are continually exposed for the frauds they are, and things continue to unravel for them !

Yes, every time.

Do we know if this ‘humanitarian visit’ was something Sunshine Sachs would have had a hand in?

Seen over on Reddit, that’s there’s online chatter about Megs wearing Zara. Seemingly it’s on the boycott list in support of Palestine.
She wore multiple Zara items this trip.

This is why they can’t do these faux royal tours. They need to be aware of things that can cause offence etc….thats what you need the men in grey suits to take care of things…so you’re not putting your foot in it.

I wonder if it's content for the "Diana documentary" they are pitching to Netflix - along the lines that H&M are following in Diana's humanitarian footsteps ..... 🙄

And there is a snippet of her getting a bottle of water from her assistant to have a drink, during the day, during Ramadan, in a room full of people 🙄🙄. Clueless.
