Sentebale is suing Harry for defamation

[QueenOfHertz]

The boot is on the other foot. Hope he knows a good litigation lawyer.

Possibly. Possibly one of the other ex trustees who was cc’d in. Clearly the letter was meant to portray SC as damaging to the charity and leaving the trustees with no choice but to take drastic action.

Can we guess when it was leaked ? Before or after the lawsuit was issued last month?

All the Times is saying is that "The letter has emerged days after Sentebale sued Harry for defamation" and hasn't been public until now. Hard to tell really.

No. I wonder if he’s regretting listening to Harry.

After all, ‘Both Princes have pledged a lifetime commitment to the charity and plan an active role in its activities’.

That’s def from PH camp then - amd shows that he’s still doing what the lawsuit is accusing him of.

Well if his legal argument is as convincing as this speech he should just settle now 😂😂😂😂. FML- what the hell is he saying here?

I think it’s perfectly clear what he is saying. We each need to do better than our own parents and learn from the good and the bad things that happened in our own childhoods.

He can’t say it as directly as that because the press will spin it in to “Harry slates dysfunctional family” even though he would be perfectly justified in saying that.

It really isn’t ’perfectly clear what he is saying’. Some of his other pronouncements on this trip are nonsense too.

He's already said that he had a shit upbringing. Many times. So there's no need to couch what he's saying using terms that make children sound like software.

It’s not perfectly clear plus I thought Diana was perfect and Meghan is Diana 2 ?

Quite. How do you upgrade a saint like Diana? How can Lili be an upgrade on Meghan?

Let's think - who is closely associated with Harry who has previous form for writing a letter that she they plan think might get leaked publicly ?

I wonder of there is an infamous couple that exists in the world that both have form for lying to the courts? I'll have a nice think.

Interesting article by Tina Brown on Substack.

She ends by.advocating that H & M be brought back in to the fold and given a limited official role.

How anyone with her knowlegde of the ile of the RF and the personslities of H & M can think this would work.is beyond me.

She doesn’t think anything - shes just throwing a bone for this weeks traction - next week will be another irrelevant angle - her opinions are all to make money for her - she needs to string out any old shit to create a sustainable revenue steam / income.

There is no way anyone in the UK, least of all the RF, will want them back in any capacity, they are dead wood.

Despite the massive PR push in the UK and People magazine, this latest PR effort in Australia is looking very bleak for them. The horrible optics of the photo shoot with really ill kids lined up is going to haunt them, and the rest of the appearances are just self indulged personal promotion of their own gripes.

Are there any Australian Mumsnetters here who can tell us what the general public opinion/reception has been like over there?

I'm interested to know if it's been as poorly received as it deserves?

The BBC have reported on all their doings on this trip. I haven’t read them. I don’t want tp give them the clicks.

I agree but I think she does have a point in that if they are not going to quietly fade away into irrelevance and poverty, and that makes them somewhat problematic to the RF. It's how the RF manage them so that they don't go completely rogue.

Haven’t they already gone rogue?? :)

I think they can go roguer (is that a word?)

I think bringing them back in any way would be an extremely foolhardy move.

We know their penchant for twisting the truth and blurting secrets and letting them back in would just give them more ammunition.

There’s no way of bringing them back into the fold safely. It also gives them more clout which they’ll certainly cash in on.

There will always be people who like them. And some people may feel fairly neutral but still turn up if they’re doing a local event. None of that means their star isn’t dimming.

The longer they’re out of the RF, the less relevant they’re becoming. They haven’t shown good judgement and although they could have had all kinds of success, they’ve made a mess of pretty much everything they’ve touched. Leave them to it I say.

I think if they separate there is a way back for H. There is no way back for M. None whatsoever. I imagine she is looking for a billionaire replacement for H just as hard as she can.

I agree that there is no way back for Meghan however not so sure about a billionaire replacement. She is heading towards 50 with a LOT of baggage plus is a proven liar .
Not that great a prospect.
