PR Disasters of the The Duke and Duchess of Sussex continued :

  • So far we have Meg using charity events/sick children/vulnerable adults to merch her fashion, with the launch of her new fashion platform
  • She will be appearing on MasterChef Australia
  • Harry claiming to have had therapy when Archie was born, even though he never sought MH help for his ill wife a few short months earlier.

I’m a bit late to the convo as usual but my Dd lives in Bondi and has done for nearly 3 years. (She was also on the beach that awful day in December but thankfully unhurt). She tells me Bondi itself is quite a small place really so I was surprised when I asked her about H & M visiting and she said she hadn’t heard anyone mention it really.

Also - Meghan striding onto the stage accompanied by George Michael’s Freedom 😂. Subtle as a brick …

I wondered if that was also a poke at one of her online critics - Lauren The Insider - who is/was George Michael's goddaughter (and Elton John's too, for that matter).

They got sprinkles in the goodie bag 😂

given the numbers at the event it won't have made much of a dent in the unsold stock though.!
Looks like the bundle with the bookmarks hasn't been going down a storm.

I honestly think she will be headed home with some of them too. Every photo you see of this retreat the numbers look tiny!

Would flower sprinkles not fall foul of wildlife/agriculture import laws (which I thought were quite strict in Australia)?

I suppose they could be licensed as business samples.

She could have turned up with empty canisters and filled them up with some hamster food from the local Coles. Nobody would know the difference.

I’ll wait for the Border Security: Australia episode, where they open her suitcase and ask her all about the flower sprinkles….she glitches, delivering world salad on repeat and the dish soap story. Harry is suspiciously quiet…..alerting the authorities who find his own ‘sprinkles’. Cut to the authorities carting Harry off and him shouting he’s going to call daddy.

That’s true. They are incredibly strict.
Maybe as they are for eating they have been sterilised with a blast of gamma rays and hence deemed safe?

It seems like EJ has distanced himself from H and M too. I saw a picture of Brooklyn Beckham at his Oscars after party and realised that H and M have never been photographed at that. There’s no way they would turn that down.

If Harry was a woman there would be real concerns that he was a victim of controlling and coercive behaviour.

I’ve said this for years. And got shouted down by some of their fans.

You're absolutely right.

Yes, you’re right. I wonder if the ANL debacle has driven a wedge?

I wondered if EJ doesn’t want to fall out with the RF. I don’t think the Beckhams would be bothered about him inviting BB somewhere as he’s his godfather. Inviting H and M would be interpreted as taking sides.

I think most sensible people have got the measure of H&M by now. They can't be trusted, and wouldn't add any value to a society event of worth.

I heard rumours that Harry and Meghan were caught saying nasty things about EJ when they borrowed his private jet (they were recorded I think, which is quite apt given that they are happy to wear mics around everyone else!).

In the press release!

One candle, Signature Candle No. 506, is tied to Archie’s May 6 birthday and listed as “Prince Archie of Sussex’s Birthdate.” The scent is described as “a warm, comforting scent inspired by Prince Archie of Sussex’s birthdate, bringing a soft, familiar ease into the room,” with notes of ginger, neroli and cashmere — a subtle wink to his red hair. “This candle is inspired by Meghan’s son, Prince Archie,”

A second scent, Signature Candle No. 604, is inspired by Lilibet’s June 4 birthday and listed as “Princess Lilibet of Sussex’s Birthdate.” It’s described as “a light, floral scent inspired by Princess Lilibet of Sussex’s birthdate, adding a sense of brightness and openness to the home,” with notes of amber, water lily and santal — a nod to her name. “This candle is inspired by Meghan’s daughter, Princess Lilibet,” the release adds.

What was that?

Just the EJ's (seemingly valid) case against ANL has been hijacked by a load of apparent bollocks by Harry and his investigator friends at the Byline Times. Not that the latter should make any difference to the former, but the overall optics aren't looking good. EJ only has himself to blame if that's the case, for getting Harry riled up in the first place.

AtIusvue · 19/04/2026 18:38

Seriously? How has Harry ok’d this???!!!!! She is literally marching out their names!

Surely this line, now crossed, must put a rocket up Charles's arse!

OtherS · 19/04/2026 18:41

I'm no expert, but I don't think that's their titles? They're not prince and princess of Sussex, are they? Do all counties have princes and princesses?! It definitely doesn't sound right...
