PR Disasters ….part 7

[AtIusvue]

Meg and Harry PR shenanigans

It’s like groundhog day at the Sussex’s, images of the kids in their garden……. on repeat !!! It’s not even cute, it’s become seriously weird.

She is so desperate to feature her kids, that I now tend to buy into the theory that it’s not just for privacy reasons she doesn’t show their faces, I suspect if either of her kids even remotely looked like any of the RF or Diana, their faces would be featured front and center. She wouldn’t be able to contain herself !

Maybe dom or maybe Harry is standing firm on this one boundary! 🤷‍♀️

And as @Coclare says, how will they make money from the big reveal?

Many people have seen the latest IG post on newspaper sites/social media. I can't see that there are the deals to reveal like there were 10/15 years ago

As ever they missed the boat !

I think also that she has set these children up to having the scenario in the future that Harry dreads ie paps trying to get photos

Since Archie at least will be at school by now I'd have thought the paps could get pics if they really wanted to, other parents could flog photos when they attend parties and so on

Isn't it much more likely that people just aren't interested? I'm sure they're lovely kids and hope they have a happy life, but why exactly would anyone be on tenterhooks to see them, no matter how much of a fuss H&M make about us not doing?

Very true ! I’m not interested in seeing them or indeed any other royal children.

I have to admit, after all the subterfuge of hiding their faces these past few years, I will certainly be checking out the first photos to see what all the secrecy was about.😜

🤣 honestly is a virtue! , don’t get me wrong dom if the pictures appear in my vicinity I’m going to look but I won’t be searching for them.

Does Lilibet have any shoes ?

She doesn't need shoes, @Mylovelygreendress . Only those uptight RF kids need shoes. And a hair brush.

Oops sorry . Silly me !

The kids are running FREE! Not constricted by boring old formal clothes at church you see.. they’re free and they have their privacy. For now.

If H&M took their children to somewhere fun, somewhere where other families go, then photos of L&A would be taken (either inadvertently or intentionally) by other parents enjoying the freedom. So, are we to presume that these 2 children never go outside the home unless the area has been swept by a SWAT team first? That they never go on play dates or to birthday parties? Wow, the stories they'll be able to tell when they're older. Hopefully I'm wrong.

What Meghan Markle’s children will learn as they get older is that their mother may love them (whatever “love” means) but she has absolutely no respect for them.

Do they actually attend school? Because afaik no school has been mentioned by name. They do seem a bit isolated. Obviously they may have a thousand friends and be living the life, but it doesn’t come across that way.

They were definitely going to start arguing over an egg and/or walloping each other before the video cuts to Archie's egg painting 😂

They both ran straight to the egg. There was no hunting. Obviously being directed by an adult who's never done this as a child.

Wasn't there an article where M did the school run and none of the other parents came near her, and she said they were all intimidated? Or am I imaging it? I think it was the same one where she took her kid to a party and another mum was so in awe of her she didn't dare go on the trampoline where M was to collect her child... It made it sound very much that none of the other parents had ever met her before. Unless of course these other Montecito mothers at what one assumes is a fairly exclusive private school are so starstruck by British royalty that even after seeing her doing daily drop-offs for months, they still understand themselves to be peasants in the presence of royalty, and as such know their place and just lower their eyes in deference when she swans by.

They’re off to Australia and aren’t taking the kids.

The kids are missing out on amazing opportunities to see the world. Why couldn’t they have added 3 days on the end that was just for family time?

It’s so odd that they leave them behind so frequently and that the kids aren’t allowed to leave the grounds of the house.

All the pics…..Christmas Cards ( one taken in the driveway ffs), Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Easter …..all in the garden.

If they do take them anywhere, it’s rare and it’s either the deserted beach or its in closed off circumstances. The pumpkin farm was exclusively theirs, Disney was a VIP trip using staff tunnels and skipping the queue.

This isn’t a security issue …it’s something else. What? No idea.

It's a bit Flowers in the Attic 😬

She mentioned doing the school run in some interview? She said something about on the days that she didn't do the school run? And the lunchboxes!! She has definitely mentioned making lunch boxes for them so I assume they are in school. I think California has really tight rules around photographing celebrities children.
I think there are a mixture of reasons for why they are not shown - wanting to be in control, wanting to piss off the RF, Harry wanting 'privacy', the kids look like their Grandad Markle and Meghan doesn't want that to be the focus.

@AtIusvue It's Meghan indulging/encouraging Harry's paranoia. Really fucking weird.

Hard to know what the situation is, really, but from the outside you've got one parent who can't seem to make and keep genuine friendships and family relationships, and another parent who has been persuaded/coerced/brainwashed/bullied (delete as you see fit) into jettisoning all his friendships and family relationships, an atmosphere of intense paranoia about security and privacy from one parent and another parent who would potentially sell your toenail clippings if it would make a quick buck. Added to this you have one parent who, we are told, spends most of their time smoking cannabis and another who prides themselves on their uptight perfectionism and has a reputation for being a bully. Doesn't sound like much fun...but we don't really know, do we?

I think the comments about other school parents being intimidated by her are very revealing of her personality. They say manners are about making other people feel comfortable. She mentioned nothing about putting these people at their ease. You hear lots of stories of A list celebrities just being normal parents on the school run. The son of a friend of a friend was at school with George when he was at Battersea. She said K was lovely, acted like any normal school mum and hosted coffee mornings at KP.
