PR Disasters….Part 8

[AtIusvue]

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 could not agree more . Speaking engagements / spa weekends fine . But hospitals etc and being referred to as D&DOS - not fine. Not when M is shilling the frocks she's wearing to visit sick children.
They've just created the HIHO they wanted and banking on BP continuing to remain silent. I should imagine the pair of them are mightily pleased with themselves at the moment.

So what was the point of the Sandringham agreement in the first place?

I’m not going to be emotionally blackmailed into feeling sorry for that vicious sod, whatever his ‘inner turmoil’ and the Palace's stance.

Not after the hospital stunt.

My understanding of it was that they we're told they couldn't remain as part time working Royals, defined as representing the monarch, whilst engaging in commercial activities. They were also not allowed to use the HRH.

They are using their titles, without HRH, for money, but that is what Fergie has done for years and no one thought she was half in half out. I do think that half the problem is that palace definitions are really labyrinthine and people expected that the Sandringham agreement meant they couldn't earn money with the Sussex title at all whereas the bit the palace was focused on was them stopping representing the monarch or having royal patronages if they were going commercial.

Can you imagine Megan on Ready Steady Cook.

You have 30 minutes to cook a meal using only the items in this bag:

Jam
Honey
Flower sprinkles and a candle.

I suspect you could be right, MrsLF, and would fully expect this to be used if they really wanted to bring him back

I'd also expect the current "Nooooo we don't want him here" to turn very quickly into "It's time to move on and don't you want a sick man to get proper care"

The rehab efforts worked for Camilla and they could work again ...

And that worked out well with Fergie didnt it.

But you need to want to be rehabilitated.

It would require a complete change of personality from Harry.

And Camilla didn’t bring numerous court cases; lie in court; cause mayhem within a charity - all this circus is ongoing now and will be for some time.

Or just the appearance of a change, RecollectionsMayVary?

As I say so often, while we know a great deal about H&M through their own words and actions, we know much less about the rest of them (and even the few bits that trickle into public view can be desperate)

So given that the image is all, I doubt it would be beyond the suits to create a new narrative even for Harry

Camilla didn’t bring numerous court cases; lie in court; cause mayhem within a charity

Edited to add Camilla isn't blood family, @TheAutumnCrow, so may have known perfectly well she couldn't afford to ...

Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not making a case for Harry being brought back - just musing that any outcry if he was might be easily managed

For Ever probably. He will be wanting a state funeral.

You see he doesn't think !

He spouts all this shite out seemingly forgetting that once it is out there it is out there forever. In the Revenge book there is a great deal of talk about how Harry and his ghost writer had different ideas. In the end they let Harry run with his rantings because they knew it would sell well - to hell with the image it created of him. They wanted the BUCKS and he was then ridiculed as people starting pulling it apart.

He seems to think he has some vision from on high about mental health ( deluded ? ) but I agree he looks very angry in that talk he did. He's still angry and vengeful. I watched him talk - there was a child or baby making noises throughout. I wondered if that was distracting him too. He talks about his children as being the most important part of his life - why does he not forget the court cases and all the things that take him away from them ? I don't think he will ever be happy.

The longer this spectacle goes on, the less I can tolerate Harry. He's either mind-bogglingly stupid, viciously cruel or both. What on earth makes him think it's appropriate to give a talk outlining how he needed therapy to connect with his own unborn child? Hideous, thoughtless behaviour and all to stoke his own ego and that of his wife, and to boost the coffers. He makes me sick.

I have to agree - this pair are revolting as they evolve.

I think the problem is , not being very bright with massive senses of grievance and entitlement and a complete lack of self awareness or reflection aren't a go to recipe for happiness. But he's Harry y'know so people should be listening to him. No matter what ill thought out nonsense he spouts.

ETA - And unfortunately people give him the platforms to feed his sense of importance / relevance.

I think Harry knows he can always fall back on the RF if everything goes wrong.

Not so sure . I very much doubt William will ever engage with him again .

Seeing as Archie appears to be an afterthought it makes you wonder whether they both feel a disconnection now. Imagine growing up and reading your mother apparently wanted to kill her self while she was pregnant with you and your father needed therapy because he felt no connection to you before you were even born.

It's horribly cruel information to put out into the public sphere. And they have the gall to lecture the public on child mental health and the internet. Meanwhile, his sister has been put on a public pedestal by their parents since birth.

You couldn't be more correct, flapjack fairy

After the dysfunctional upbringing Harry had himself you'd have hoped he might have thought of all this - Meghan too with the talk of suicide - but it seems their level of self absorption is capable of excluding even the children

I haven’t seen anyone mention the fact that Diana claimed she threw herself down the stairs when pregnant with William. I wonder if as usual Meghan is aligning herself with Diana so Harry is triggered.

That’s I suspect because she was born in the US and the RF don’t know her at all.

I don’t think there is a cat in hells chance of that ever happening.

Though I didn't mention it specifically, for me it's all part and parcel of that dysfunctional upbringing I mentioned, LazyCatLtd

I agree, though, that it may not be beyond Meghan to weaponise it in order to manipulate Harry - which if true would make her as cruel as he is

Typo

It’s been talked about before on other threads, I never believed her claims for a minute, she just read Diana’s true story and played the part to manipulate Harry playing into his fears of losing his mother and then losing his wife, threatening ending your life is often used as a form of abuse to control your spouse and I believe that’s what she did.
