PR disasters continued. Thread 6

For all PR disasters of Meg and Papa Sussex

I’d stipulate that ticket sales must reach 80% sold by end of 2026

But this is basic business sense. It is crazy that tax payer money would be spent if there is no interest.

OOI, are the bins being collected in Birmingham yet?

I agree it would be helpful but maybe they don't want to set a precedent?

Yes, I did wonder if Harry is realising the RAVEC review isn't going to give him the result he wants.

The comments about how he would absolutely get the security he wants IF he's staying with the King. Which is what we've said all along.

Well quite. He would want to catch up with “the family” - who exactly? Charles yes I assume. Camilla the evil stepmother? Surely not. The big brother who wants nothing to do with him? I doubt it. His aunts and uncles? Well the only one who I imagine might welcome him would be AMW and surely he’s not part of any cosy family reunion.

The whole thing is just bizarre and I believe not about a genuine desire to see the family at all and all about trying to weaponise his children and reaffirm his royal connections.

Why can’t KC3 ask Trump to extend the invite to include the Harkle’s in the peripheral ceremonial parts of the visit - Trump dragged along all his children to the UK visit with QEII …. It would be a lovely experience for A&L to be at the centre of the first family and catch up with their grandparents.

@ShamedBySirithanks for sharing that article.

They absolutely will not get a competent head of marketing for 36-60k - not clear if that is pro rated or it’s a part time gig or something, but 36-60k as a marketing salary is junior to mid level manager. You might just about scrape into 60k at a head of level but that would generally be for a small company - you’re not going to get someone with the capability or experience to handle a global high profile project with this level of complexity.

Meghan is not a Trump fan. The couple refused to meet him when he was received at BP during his first term. Why would he do a very public favour for such insignificant people? He can't even be polite to our PM!

If H really wanted to see his Dad no need to make it public surely ...
The Sussex’s now desperately need some positive PR and the family he can’t stand is his best option of getting some

The second sentence surely answers the first, @Guest385; a private visit's hardly wouldn't provide the same PR, though doubtless Harry would blast on about it afterwards

And is anyone surprised that Invictus still lacks a Head of Communications/Marketing? Everyone else seems to have gone and I can't quite see reputable people being willing to join another of Harry's vanity projects now

PH often repeated claim that he needs this additional security so that his wife and DCs can safely set foot on UK soil is so disingenuous. He was happy to drag them all over to bask in the glow of the RF brand for QEll platinum jubilee - MM winding down windows to wave at the crowds, standing on the steps of St Paul’s, hosting a ‘back yard’ garden party for her DD 1st birthday and then issuing a range of private photos from the event directly to the worlds media including a full frontal face shot of her child - so what’s changed security wise objectively since they were very happy to parade around so easily (also PH recently banging on doors of random houses in Fulham - suggests to me that they are not objectively worried at all)

I cant imagine why she doesn't like him. they have so much in common . Both live in a fantasy world where they think.if they saysomething it makes it true and they both hugely overestimate their abilities and intelligence. Not to mention their famous forensic attention to detail.They are cut from the same cloth .

IIRC Trump bringing his whole family was frowned upon. I can't see either Harry or Meghan even wanting to visit Trump. Plus I don't see how they can keep the children's faces obscured in a visit.

It was a tongue in cheek comment - but I wonder if they are desperate enough to stoop this low for some presidential / royal glow to boost their flagging brand.

I don't see how they can keep the children's faces obscured in a visit

An interesting and very valid point, @MrsLeonFarrell
I suppose Meghan could cause a massive drama by insisting on exactly how the children should be "placed", but can't really imagine that going down well with the family

Better perhaps to stay away completely, but then what's what I'm pretty confident she'll do anyway

What I don't understand is why those children's faces are obscured. Surely not for reasons of security, as photos of the rest of the family's offspring regularly appear and they are instantly recognisable?

As I said in my earlier post not only were the DCs faces not obscured the last time they were on UK soil - but H&M took professional full face photos and issued them to the global press.

Also images Archie in the bath in their NF series. They are not consistent. They are weaponising their own DCs faces when it suits them.

no comment!

No comment!

It’s never ending manifestation and pr leaks , and so obvious to many now that they leak this to remind us they are royal whenever anything critical comes out! 🙄

He probably will (try to, at least).

I enjoyed this comment - in a normal scenario of course the parents would be horrified.

A source familiar with the Ravec process said: “As part of the review being undertaken, the government is consulting a wide range of stakeholders, including the duke, and will reach a fair and appropriate decision on that basis. But everyone, presumably including the parents, must be horrified by any suggestion of using the King’s grandchildren as a form of bargaining tool in that process.”

Candles and feathers.

It's interesting this desire to see his father by Harry in the light of what I'm reading in Tom Bowers book. They didn't seem to have the best of relationships when he was younger. As for the wedding and its aftermath, the Sussexes seemed to create so many issues. What is Harry looking for?

What is Harry looking for?

Positive publicity? I don’t think he’s yet worked out that it would require him to do something positive. Poor lamb, he’s only in his forties.

He's the boy who bluffed and lost. He thought he would be missed. Life goes on. Years pass. People grow and move on except Harry who is locked in his self inflicted prison. I may occasionally feel a bit sorry for Meghan living with this prat - that passes though in a nano second. His bitterness seems to taint his whole life.

Money, PR, money, status, money, goodies he’s not entitled to … oh and money, other people’s money of course!
