PR Disasters Part X

[AtIusvue]

For all Meg and Harry PR shenanigans

This is pre-GCSE standard writing.

I agree that it would be nice of them to say they are proud.. It's very short sighted of them - Charles won't be around forever.

Meghan:

’I usually gravitate to tonal dressing because it looks streamlined, but I also find it a lot easier to put a look together that way. It removes some of the guesswork and feels timeless.”

Yeh we know that! So you lied when you made out that you couldn’t wear colour when in the RF. It’s your fashion style.

Oh of course he wouldn’t want to distract from his message. Even if they were on good terms, if all the mud slinging hadn’t happened and H&M were living a blameless life in California I doubt he would have mentioned them.
He did mention them in the period after the Queen’s death, talking about them building their lives overseas. I suppose at that point apart from Oprah the Netflix series and Spare etc hadn’t yet happened. Plus it wasn’t a state visit to another country obviously.

She is talking about her past visit as a working Royal and this last visit as if they are on a par. There is a world of difference. She looked a mess in most of her outfits so all the effort she says she put in was a waste of time. She really thinks she’s an influencer.

I’m not sure if this makes it worse, but those in the red and yellow are not actually lifeguards. They’re volunteer surf lifesavers (from the local surf club). The actual lifeguards wear blue.

Oh God

I have no doubt they watched it in the hope KC would make a huge faux pas

He doesn'tvseem to remember much, full stop.

She doesn't have a degree in International Relations - her degree is International Studies where you study culture, sociology and anthropology etc in a multidisciplinary way. I think she combined it with Theatre Studies.

Oh I don't know. If they were on good terms and they were decent people who hadn't been trying to shiv him in the back and front for 6 years, Harry and Meghan would have probably been at the White House dinner, and he'd have probably thanked them directly for their support and for being a bridge between nations. This is the long term consequence of their short term stupidity - no place at the table.

H has plenty of form for bum touching, nipple tweaking and slapping. Maybe he's just a common-or-garden sex pest.

I hope that finally some media outlets put all the known footage and accounts together, to show the measure of the man - dim, unexceptional and actually quite 'pervy'.

That's not what she said. Very clearly in her Craig Ferguson interview, she says "international relations".

She said the same thing on the Rachel (I think Ray) show.

I've seen a screen shot recently (can't remember where) of what the Royal website used to say, and that said International Relations also.

I do agree that it was a dual degree with Theatre Studies, but that wasn't relevant to my original post.

Would be two Queen Bees dynamic - like Victoria Beckham and Nicola Peltz - what could possibly go wrong!

I just listened to that interview. You are right, she says "International Relations with Theatre Studies". Then she talks about working at the "US Embassy" - which makes no sense unless you say where... when Buenos Aires is teased out, she claims that she speaks Spanish, but not just any old Spanish - she speaks Castellano - which most people know is the Spanish spoken in and around Madrid, and definitely not the Spanish spoken in Argentina - that is usually known as Rioplatense Spanish. It differs in many ways from Castellano.

Gotta love that clever, beautiful princess.

I have seen clips of that interview with Craig Ferguson and it’s painful. She’s such a boring, unaccomplished person, she has nothing interesting to say and he struggles to keep the interview going.

It does say on her Wiki page that she did a study abroad programme in Madrid as well after Argentina. Maybe she got mixed up.

I'm somewhat amazed we've never seen her graduation pictures in the distinctive purple gown and cap of Northwestern.

I couldn't care less.

Sorry, I didn't mean to play it down.

What he did was assault.

Agree and am absolutely baffled this is not all over the MSM

She's painfully dull. It's not about education. Diana herself admitted she was a terrible academic but could laugh at herself.

I agree. I switched the video off as soon as I heard that. It’s uncalled for.

A while ago I saw an online copy of the programme for her graduation ceremony which listed her degree as a Bachelor of Science in Communication which is odd as International Relations would be a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. There was also a screenshot of her in the Freshman catalogue that she was a Journalism student - so who knows what she actually did 🤔

The other possibility is that she did international relations courses within the International Studies umbrella and was keen to emphasize this expertise as someone who had studied diplomacy etc when she joined the royal family.

International Studies is an adjunct degree and very flexible as you can double count courses to both degrees.

I definitely think Charles would have mentioned the connection if Meghan had been a big success in the RF. I was surprised to hear him mention Lord Louis Mountbatten (now accused of sexual abuse) in the address to Congress when he was listing relatives who had served in the armed forces.

'The only thing better than Australia is Australians': I've noticed that Meghan loves a soundbite and often builds her word salad around one. It adds to that lack of authenticity and superficial vibe which holds her back.

The only thing better than Australia is Australians? What a ridiculous nonsensical statement
