PR disasters continued. Thread 6

For all PR disasters of Meg and Papa Sussex

$255 plus $35 shipping. So $290 for flowers that will last 3/4 days as per the instructions and some tea and honey…that don’t compliment each other in flavour (sage and peppermint?)

It’s for shipping between 31st March- 5th April. So very limited edition.

I'm really interested in the therapy H&M may have had. With all the talk of mental health issues that have been caused by others, surely it must have been considerable and intense. Yet we have H talking about criticism (by which I mean an honest appraisal) causing them both psychological damage as though no-one ever has had to accept feedback in relation to their job performance. Having so little resilience and self reflection after extensive therapy is remarkable. It's a wonder he's not sueing the therapists. He hasn't got the slightest idea of how life works.

I’m quite fascinated by her friendship with Jessica Mulroney. I suspect it was mutually parasitic.

JM would have been the big fish in the small pond of the Toronto social scene that MM latched on to and exploited - then the tables turned and MM became the big fish in the big pond and JM profited from that - until she didn’t.

I would love to hear JM stories - I expect she wouldn’t speak out whilst still married but I bet the two of them were a couple of mean girls who you wouldn’t want to cross or upset on a night out a couple of Queen Bees and Wannabes.

100% agree, @Ballah! They clearly did the whole mean girl routine on Catherine, and I do admire her for rising above it when she could have destroyed Meghan socially. I think H and M have no idea how lightly they got off after their awful behaviour.

@canklesmctacotits you wrote a very convincing summary!

I don't really get how they are going to ship these boxes.

I always thought that Gardenias were fragile flowers which bruise easily - wouldn't they get damaged being sent by courier and rolling around with jars and tins of As Ever products?

But then I can't see how they can do it like Interflora with local florists as they need to get the As Ever products to the dispatch centres....

Nearly $300 for fragile flowers plus tea and jam sounds extortionate to me! 💐

Completely agree. They will both have been very skilled in exaggerating successes and downplaying or outright lying about failures, because that's what you need to do to get ahead in that world, and they will have spotted it in each other. It's part of the game, the MO. I'm sure there will have been something approaching friendship there too, as young and glamorous women of a similar age going out drinking and socialising (and the rest), but they will both have recognized that ruthless streak in each other. All's fair in love and war! I don't think I would want to read too much about it though, I'm pretty sure it'll be grubby, tacky behaviour.

More photos have arrived on her instagram, Lilli’s hair is back to brown.

Shameless. Using Lili to promote the newest collab

There’s a video too. Archie’s name is mentioned. …but strangely you never see him. Lili enters the video, with a strategically placed peony over her face. Then just like Variety says…she leaves the video rolling but walks away to attend to the kids. She’s a working mom remember.

Ah sorry @jeffgoldblum! I didnt see your post

No worries! I didn’t see a video, but I admit what is going through my mind currently, the absolute, manufactured rage about Catherine’s Mother’s Day photo, the close scrutiny to look for possible photo shop or manipulation.
Then we have Meghan and Harry’s photos , clearly extensively photoshopped and manipulated…..and silence! 🤔

I just don't see the point of a video of Meghan plonking flowers in vases, with or without children entering the scene with their faces obscured. None of it makes me want to spend hundreds on flowers, jam and tea. Such an odd mixture. Surely a candle would be better?

I’ve seen the video! , poor Archie has been edited out ! But if you look closely at the far left corner you catch his legs and feet briefly, I’ve screenshot it ! Why ? Why isn’t he allowed to feature with lili?

Yes, good point. The candle would have been a much better fit.

I do wish someone would brush Lilibet’s hair .
I now await being slated .

Oh no, not the ‘unkempt’ battle again 😂

I'm sure Evri will manage it with their customary skill and attention to detail 😎

Well it may be because I’m shivering in a rather cold hotel room (hopefully heating will kick in soon) but the sight of Lili’s dress is bringing me out in goose pimples. Something about the light and M in a white shirt and presumably jeans suggests it’s not a boiling hot day. Can’t she have some trousers and a sweater or something?

As for the flower arranging - well I’m no florist either but I do try to get the flowers to be an appropriate height for the vase (or the other way around 🤔) and have them stand up a bit or something. These flowers have just been stuffed in the pots , it looks such a mess!

What in the name of raspberry spread is going on in that 'Mama's Little Helpers' photo??! 😂

The unkempt hair is like red rag to a bull for some! 😂

The favouritism of Lily is so blatant, the golden child, typical narcissistic mother behaviour.

Some of the camellias arrive in bud form only. No stem. You float them in water seemingly. . But she’s used julep cups. Why? No idea.

Those flowers look half-dead and just plonked in vases - not a great advert
