PR Disasters- Part 9

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

Harry pinched Catherine on the bottom during Trooping the Colour 2011, when she bent down to talk to some children. It was laughed off. Because he gets a free pass and always has.

And let’s not forget he slapped the late Taylor Hawkes across the face, TH was seriously pissed off about it and this was when Harry was 37 years old, he is an awful person.

BigWillyLittleTodger · 27/04/2026 12:36

Apologies Harry wasn’t 37 he was 30 when it happened, not that it makes much difference,

Indianrollerbird · 27/04/2026 12:38

Also he attacked his own bodyguard because he was "determined to hurt" someone in Paris. As recounted in Spare. He doesn't mind using his victims to make him money. If it's not a physical assault, it's a verbal one, like on poor Pat, the house mother with scoliosis whose crime was not being attractive to His Royal Victimhood.

Indianrollerbird · 27/04/2026 12:39

And these are the things in the public sphere. Who knows what has been covered up over the years.

Gosh, I jolly well hope all those affected by Anzac Day gave themselves a good talking to for reflecting on their own pain on the same day Her Supreme Victimness shared her "horror"scope with the world. Let us not forget who the real victims are in these straitened times. Someone's head has spent far too much time retrograde up Uranus.

Brilliant!

My thoughts exactly.

SqueakyDinosaur · 27/04/2026 12:46

A lot of these stories (of Harry making inappropriate and unwelcome physical contact with people) are very much the same as stories about his awful Uncle Andrew in "Entitled".

Imagine writing that and knowing his kids would read it,
even if he doesn’t care what the public thinks

Meghan article in daily mail. Apparently worst 7 years of her life as almost behind her. According to her astrologist anyway. On that horrendous internet with Jamie kern Lima, she was the happiest she has ever seen with her fox by her side ...🙄

I thought that - what happened to the era of joy or whatever it was? Just constant lies and contradictions with these two. And Meghan is supposed to be whip smart and a female founder. What is she doing quoting astrology like a slightly dim and insecure 13 year old?

flapjackfairy · 27/04/2026 13:01

If Megan believes the last 7 yrs have been the worst of her life then there is no hope. After all she has met the love of her life, had a fairytale wedding( now disparaged of course) , had 2 beautiful children and had the money to buy them all an amazing life. She has had wealth and privilege beyond most people's wildest dreams and was allegedly living her best life wasn't she ?

Puzzledandpissedoff · 27/04/2026 13:04

BigWillyLittleTodger · 27/04/2026 12:17

despite the privilege on Harry's side perhaps there just wasn't suitable guidance?

A forty plus year old man should have worked out himself that slapping someone on the backside, particularly a stranger is completely inappropriate despite whatever guidance he did or didn’t receive as a child, what makes it worse is Harry is in a position of extreme privilege and that man probably felt he had to laugh even if he felt upset about it, he shouldn’t have been put that position. Funny how William manages not to behave in a way that in the workplace would trigger an investigation.

You're absolutely right, BigWillyLittleTodger, though I maintain that a personality such as his and a possible lack of guidance could have joined to produce the perfect storm we're seeing

That said, as @bluegreygreen correctly suggested, it may be that they honestly tried but that this is just who he is when the suits aren't available to cover up

So that's Harry and Andrew who've come a complete cropper so far when allowed off the leash ... just as well the rest stay more or less in their lane, because god knows what else could crawl out if they didn't

It would be front page news if one of the Royals here did that - and not in a good news story way.

I've now watched the video - it's awful, as is the way he is making the lifesaver laugh along afterwards.

Perhaps the lack of headlines is an indication of just how far they have fallen? Though that doesn't really make sense, given all the other (negative) coverage of their trip.

Edited

Mike Tindall got a lot of headlines for inappropriately touching a staffer for IACGMOH, didn't he?

Don't forget becoming a best selling (apparently) children's author, record breaking (apparently) podcaster and jam seller who can rival international corporates in terms of sales (apparently). All with the help of companies like Netflix and Spotify, that most talent would give a kidney to have a contractual relationship with and the chance to produce some really groundbreaking media. Coupled with the international platform gifted to her upon marriage to say what she likes, when she likes, to whomsoever she likes, all on her own terms, and she will be heard and widely reported upon. Not bad for someone who would be scratching a living doing infomercials and guest appearances on generic TV dramas, had she not married quite so advantageously.

Then it's all been a lie, hasn't it?
Her life was awful.

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?

Starts at about 1.09

I find the behaviour of every single person in this video abhorrent - selfies, giggling, laughing - whilst visiting the site of an antisemitic terror attack where multi generations of a community were slaughtered a few months before. Not one person is ‘paying their respects’ to the women, children and elderly that were murdered or their deeply traumatised and bereaved families. Disgraceful every single one of them.

KnickerlessParsons · 27/04/2026 13:50

I agree, and thought the same myself

Starryfifty · 27/04/2026 13:52

The Taylor Hawkins slap was absolutely horrible. H also ridiculed John travolta at some aviation awards thing. It was nasty and snide

I agree. And it's Harry and Meghan and their people who set the tone for the event. Although, if they were asked, they would pass the buck to the lifeguards or whoever it was on the ground who agreed to this, because they never take responsibility for anything (just as they passed the buck to the hospital for the awful nature of that visit).

God, that's horrible. Poor Catherine, what choice did she have under those circumstances except to laugh it off in front of everyone?

I would be beyond disgusted if my BIL pinched my arse. Who on earth does that to their brother's wife? I mean, hands up here everyone whose BIL has pinched their arse? Eurgh.

Lunde · 27/04/2026 14:00

I remember pictures of a very drunken Harry attacking photographers when leaving popular celebrity clubs on Saturday nights. IIRC his bodyguards were restraining him!

If he was not a Prince he'd likely have been declared a "thug" or "lager lout" and been served an ASBO.

I agree. Absolutely disgusting behaviour.

Agree. Harry's behaviour is akin to AMW. Boorish, entitled, bullying. Unfortunately the RF never get ahead of the story. He and his awful wife are still on the RF website.

bluegreygreen · 27/04/2026 14:09

The incident on the beach is particularly horrible because it is an abuse of power - only relative power, perhaps, but the lifeguard was clearly very uncomfortable when he reacted and was made to accept Harry's ongoing laughter.

It happened on 17th April, one day after Harry had given a speech at the InterEdge Summit, an event promoting workplace psychological safety.

elessar · 27/04/2026 14:10

God he’s disgusting. What an abuse of power and privilege- it’s humiliating for that poor guy.

Totally agree that Harry behaves like he’s still a 12 year old boy who thinks that fart jokes and slapping people’s bums is funny - honestly I think his mental age is stuck at the age he was when Diana died.

I never understand why people bend over backwards to claim “oh but of course he’s nowhere near as bad as the Yorks”. Isn’t he? He’s not shown any greater moral character or judgement as far as I can tell, he certainly doesn’t respect women, he believes he’s entitled to whatever he wants and the little people are just there for his entertainment and to provide adulation. The only difference between Harry and the Yorks as far as I can tell is that he’s had less time and opportunity to behave badly, and he’s (thankfully in this case) infatuated with his wife, which shields him from any sexual indiscretions.
