PR disasters of Meghan and Harry.

Left off at the last page with Meg selling candles to people who want to know what her young children smell like. She’s also using the kids full titles in the press release….just for a dash of extra exploitation.

As you were

Don't you find that, after a time, you can tell those who aren't genuine? They are the ones who shoehorn a particular point - William is lazy and quick-tempered, Charles is weak - into their replies, and seldom deviate from a particular narrative. They don't ever seem to be in a debate or a discussion, but more like the loudmouth at the bar who just shouts his opinion and keeps shouting it.

The narrative can change from day to day, as can the posters' names, but the posting style remains the same.

They also pick fights with posters using a technique where they misrepresent a poster's words and claim the poster actually said something they didn't. Then it degenerates into bad-faith, bad-tempered semantic analysis when the poster denies they ever said such a thing. @jeffgoldblum could tell you all about being on the receiving end of it.

Edited to finish off a sentence I had left unfinshed.

Yes they never actually bring anything to the table in these discussions, they rarely put up an alternative argument as to why they, as self proclaimed republicans support Harry and Meghan, it’s just covert name calling and the racist card used against regular posters and yes, despite constant name changes they are instantly recognisable.

It concerns me what kind of environment their DC live in . H and M seem totally self absorbed.

I do find this troubling. I really hope they're not pushing a narrative of how wickedly the world has treated their parents.
I know this is really well-worn territory, but I can't believe that Harry is still talking about his mother being murdered. It was a horrendous tragedy but she was not a part of the royal family at the time, and it was completely avoidable had her own actions been different. Many, many people (including his own brother) have to come to terms with losing a beloved parent in tragic and terrible circumstances. How is he so completely unable to accept and move forward from this? What has all the therapy been for?

I could indeed @Rhaidimiddim! 🤣

Some of us once challenged the "William is lazy" narrative, with a list of his recent activities. Poor response, largely "but...."

I remember that @PoppysAunt! , I believe the response was …well if it’s not reported on and I haven’t seen it then it doesn’t matter! 🤷‍♀️

Dundee ! Jackie.

Oh my God. 😆

Im also laughing because instead of typing agony aunt autocorrect has it down as aging instead. 😆

Somebody also pointed out about Camilla visiting Women's Refuges, and doing so very low key because of the vulnerable women involved. One poster said "What's the point of going then?"
Seriously.
That's the Sussex approach though. It has to be in the glare of the cameras or it's not worthwhile.

I think we are all allowed different view points on the RF. This thread we all happen to be on the same page about Harry and Meghan, but I know from experience, we aren’t with regards to W&C.

Im not their biggest fan, but as they aren’t as chaotic and entertaining as M&H, there’s not much to talk about. I also know it goes down like a lead balloon when you do mention anything critical of W&C.

My point is, not everyone is a fan but most don’t bother to say so because it usually means a bun fight.

I’m pretty sure I’m not a Russian propagandist….but then I would say that wouldn’t I!

@AtIusvue discussion is fine. Being in denial about facts or being personal isn't. It does limit a reasonable discussion.

Unfortunately, I haven’t found that to be the case in my experience; hence, why I never bother mentioning them, not worth the hassle even if I had thought I had something interesting to contribute.

The RF thread isn’t the place to do that weirdly. It always ends badly. Which is a shame but not the end of the world.

But M&H keep me with more than enough to talk about!

They're was an interesting discussion about finances a while ago where many different people ask armed to be in agreement that clarity in royal finances was needed.

My biggest issue with quantifying what William and Catherine do is that I simply don't have enough data to assess their workload and work rate. I often compare it to CEOs in that I simply don't know enough about their day to day to comment effectively and certainly don't know enough to label their efforts.

What is with Harry that he constantly needs to touch people (usually men) when he does appearances? Is it a posh-boys school thing?

I've seen videos of him tweaking the nipples of fellow polo players - but I've just watched a youtube video of their tour even at Bondi and realised that Harry smacked one of the male lifeguards on the butt when he is bending over to lift a rescue craft 😲

Who does that in a professional work environment? Why does he think this is OK?
