PR disasters (IYKYK) thread 5

[AtIusvue]

For Meghan and Harry, As ever and Archewell posts.

Meghan will be wailing !

No doubt it will be the media’s fault! Harry didn’t mention Gaza , the press did!

I really don’t think Diana will be the star - that will be the title to draw people in - there will be a few grainy shots and she will be consigned to a footnote of history - and all the footage will be of the deluded and saintly MM!

Got it in one, jeff
He really can't seem to get anything right, but that's his own fault for inserting himself into complex matters he just doesn't have the capacity to understand

That said I agree that the clip of Harry being moved out of the way by his dreadful wife was sad. Before watching it I'd thought the comments were exaggerated, but no ... she really does treat him with disdain, and god knows what it's doing to his mind

They could do what they did with Virginia G and what MM did with her father - buy silence. Everyone has their price. KC3 has the resources.

You can't stop individuals from making statements. We live in a free country. Sharren Haskel is commenting on their statement publically vendor the press is making a fuss but they are hardly the first people whose statements have drawn comment. They are only a problem if the government starts reacting to what they say as if they have legitimacy. I think at the moment it is crystal clear they don't speak for anyone but themselves, they are spouting off about complex situations with simplistic solutions, like many other celebrities do. If the King or politicians start reacting it gives them status. Just ignore them, like we ignore the many other celebrities who think they know about politics.

I agree. I found the photograph deeply distasteful. I doubt very much that the participants had any choice about the situation they were in , being filmed like that in a roomful of mostly men.

If she treats him like that in public, imagine what it’s like in private .

I'd missed this gem from the People article

"Despite the absence of formal ceremonies, the trip still carried visible international weight."

If you have to tell people that your visit carries international weight it really doesn't.

Their Royal titles have to go...why doesn't KC3 take action? Is he afraid of the backlash?

Surely he could buy them off.

Off topic, MM cosmetic work is done well.

Why should he need to buy them off?

Despite the absence of formal ceremonies 😂😂😂😂😂😂

‘Despite the absence of formal ceremonies, the couple still managed to make global tits of themselves, and insult an international audience’.

There’s some Harry-related gems in this article today about Beatrice & Eugenie’s well-deserved woes.

Apparently he’s invited Beatrice to stay in Montecito. (I assume Eugenie has stayed in touch anyway? Maybe has an open invitation?)

There’s a lot of stuff (financial) about to come out about B&E. Maybe they all need to cook up excuses for their charity shenanigans, and Harry has this amaaaazing PR team …

There’s a lot of stuff (financial) about to come out about B&E

I don't doubt it, @TheAutumnCrow

The Mail thing about Ascot is pinned on the usual "sources" , but on the offchance there's anything in it I expect it would be based on ssomething the family know but would prefer we didn't ... and as we're learning there's been a hell of a lot of that

Yes, the royal family could (IMO) release it in a controlled, dignified manner followed by a ‘no further comment at this time’ clause. These drip drip drips from ‘sources’ are pathetic.

I presume Andrew Lownie knows already. Maybe quite a few journalists do too.

It’s probably allegations of stuff that we already twigged on here: charity money irregularities, dodgy gifts, skirting the edges of money laundering, being on the cusp of ME corruption.

Interesting that it claims it’s PW who has banned them from Ascot and asked other members of the BRF not to be photographed with them for the rest of the year…..where is KC3 in this ?

Can PW call it? Is he taking over from his Dads inertia? Will they be at loggerheads - will KC3 ignore PW and roll them out at a garden party?

There were claims a while ago (someone may remember the source) that KC3 and PW had offered the York sisters the services of auditors to make sure their finances were above board, but they had refused the offer.

I think if true, once that offer had been refused a break of some sort was inevitable.

Edit to add archive link for Ascot story https://archive.is/vLEUA

Have just seen that offer was referenced in the Ascot article - should have read it first!

Also interesting re Harry offering Beatrice a 'bolthole' - you would think that the Sussexes might consider staying well separate from the controversies at home would be better.

(Sorry for multiple posts - brain not quite in gear today)

Talking of boltholes anyone know where Fergie is these days? I thought I read she had headed to Dubai after leaving the super expensive health spa in Switzerland. But maybe she's still at the spa.

Last I read she was in a spa in Donegal.

Really? Gone from most expensive spa in Switzerland to another in Donegal? Perhaps she'll invite herself to Montecito next....Beatrice's plus one 😂

But he knows what it is to have suffered at the hands of the institution.

According to the article.

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

This is what I saw. So much speculation - she could be anywhere.
