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

Oh ffs. That man just can't help himself, he's addicted to publicity.

I wonder if he did this before or after the candle release because he realised how bad the optics are of marching something on HMTLQs 100th birthday.

How many times will Meghan - with or without Harry - launch something on a day that is important to the Royal Family?

in fairness, it’s usually done to try and upstage William and Catherine. Especially Catherine. This time it’s to overshadow KC’s tribute.

No one can possibly claim the timing is coincidental any more. Surely even the SS aren’t that vacuous?!

It’s beyond a joke now. It’s not just calculated - it’s fucking spiteful.

Yep. And that headline “harry quietly pays tribute to…” what utter rubbish. So quiet that he leaked it to the press, but no one can say he did it for PR because he said it was done quietly. Quietly is not telling anyone. What he means is … I didn’t bother going to the family event (or wasn’t invited) but you all need to remember I’m still royal wahhh. His post too… “let us …” as if he’s some kind of figurehead and we are all supposed to defer to his endless wisdom.

Oh, how expected of Harry - he has let Town and Country magazine know he sent flowers to QEII’s grave to mark her birthday. Obvioulsy there’s no benefit to him in a gesture done privately…

Just why do we need to know this? Is he merching the flowers? Must be a $ in it somewhere.

He's got to keep in the headlines, got to get the clicks.

Looks like Megz much trumpeted ( by herself) cameo has been cut. Wonder how she will spin that one?

Wasn’t she playing herself? So she can’t even act as herself?!

Oh dear. That's bad.

PigglyWigglyOhYeah · 22/04/2026 06:56

Well, there you go. There’s much to be said for keeping quiet about things until they are actually confirmed and ready to go, rather than blabbing everything to the press prematurely. How embarrassing for her.

It’s a bit like in Friends when Joey gets the feedback that he ‘wasn’t convincing as a human being.’

The rest of the Senior royals were at a series of events focused on the late Queen, members of her favourites charities and those who are also 100. Harry told the world he sent flowers.

With everything he does he shows that he really does not understand service which turns outwards to others, only good deeds that centre his own efforts.

When I saw the pictures from BP yesterday, I wondered how long it would take H and M to respond. I don’t know think it is a coincidence that the candles were launched on the same day. What a trashy thing to do.

Absolutely! … ‘As Ever’ In true grifter style, trying to surf the wave of someone else’s news

Publicity which focuses on them in a fawning and uncritical way = correct.
Publicity which challenges their behaviour or criticises their actions = hate.

Apparently the Bondi beach photographs have been taken down from the OneOff website. Still a picture of M in the outfit , but not at the beach.

Too little too late methinks. The damage is done. & I don't believe this is only OneOff's fault. Ye they should have had the wit not to use them , but M should have made it clear they weren't to be used. As she should the hospital / refuge visits. Well, that's my two pennyworth.

So the rumour on X ( might have been a Blind?) was true .
A lesson in keeping quiet until the deal is done !

SHES TRADEMARKED THE KIDS TITLES!!!!!

Surely she can’t do that? That proves she intends to use the titles for commercial gain. Wtf

‘Page Six can reveal she and Prince Harry have also trademarked Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’s names, prompting questions about how the couple plan to use the kids’ titles in the public eye.’
‘Page Six has previously reported that the children have stationary emblazoned with HRH, although it’s not expected they will be working royals when they grow up.’
‘We have now learned that Harry, 41, and Markle, 44, have not only trademarked Archie and Lilibet’s names, but also claimed their emails, social media handles and domain names.’
‘A source insisted that Markle, who parted ways with her production partner Netflix in March, has been “very tasteful” with her use of the children, and has Harry’s blessing. ‘

What terrible parents they both are!

We knew she registered Lili’s name and domain names when she was born. But this is saying she’s trademarked the titles? You can possibly do that can you?

I know I keep saying this every time H and M do something crass but KC really has to step in this time . I know he is ill ( thought he looked awful yesterday) but he needs to step up or step aside .

AtIusvue · 22/04/2026 09:01

I can’t believe they would be allowed to TM a title, maybe p6 meant their names…but we knew she did that already.

I’m sure the RF are already aware of what they get up to, probably hoping it won’t make the headlines for a few years, a bit like how they handled the Yorks.

The awful thing is, they have put such an unpalatable representation on their innocent kids, they are demolishing the kids reputations and they are still so little, and any hope the kids have of making their own way is out the window, if that is what either of them eventually want.

A poster on Reddit is trying to do a deep dive into Invictus financials, I think it’s only a matter of time before an investigative journalist will do the same.

I feel very sorry for Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. They really should be kept out of all of this, and have a private childhood.
