PR Disasters Part X

[AtIusvue]

For all Meg and Harry PR shenanigans

@noonames - sorry I think I cross posted there but I absolutely agree with you.

Indeed!

In any case why would the King schlepp cross country? Why wouldn't the Sussexes go and meet him?

If they had any sort of relationship Harry and Meghan would have been invited to the State dinner (like Trump's kids were invited to Windsor). Even if things were cool between them a private meeting in Washington or New York could have been arranged for a couple of hours. This is a sign that the relationship is pretty glacial just now.

Even DH, who is Welsh and quite anti royal, (especially ones who are or have been Prince of Wales) said Charles when addressing Congress was an impressive advert for the UK model and he felt proud watching him managing Trump so well on behalf of the country and expressing his beliefs. Harry on the other hand is a “deceitful dickhead” and Meghan “cut price Paltrow without the wit”.

Soon he’ll be Princess Margaret. I don’t recall PM being massively popular in my lifetime. She was popular when she was young and glamorous but that wore off. However she was definitely respected as being loyal to her dsis and a close confidant. H was popular when young but now he’s an unkempt balding middle aged man who stabbed his db in the back and slagged off his SIL. He would be lucky to have the respect the public had for PM.

In other news, I hadn't realised the Harry visa case continues to rumble on. I've just been watching Niall Gardener of the plaintiff (Heritage Foundation) on Kinsey Schofield. Document release expected from US Immigration around June 12. He appeared quite confident about getting to the bottom of whether Harry lied on his visa application.

I remember her as a glamorous but quite sad figure. She didn’t come across (to me at least) as a working royal living a life of duty like Anne, for instance. Just a bit lost. But rich!

(Although by the time I was a teen she was already pretty ill so I guess I missed her heyday.)

Must have been quite tricky for QE2, having a controversial sibling. I wonder if she shared those experiences with William before she died 🤔

It's inevitable the kids' photos are on the way. However, it'll be another own goal we surely H can't continue to lecture about privacy, dangers of social media etc. (no doubt he will ) but I'm sure he won't get any speaking gigs on the subject.

He really is hilarious isn't he. Has to clap back to any implied criticism, even if no one is talking about it. Whilst making his selfishness very clear in the fact that it clearly didn't occur to him that he should be the one to travel if anyone was going to.

Yes, laughable that you'd just assume the King will travel to you and work around your busy surfing schedule.

Charles has done a very good job on this state visit. Said things that badly needed saying but kept things on a respectful level with Trump. Lessons there for family members who think they know it all!

Thanks @BasiliskStare

I watched that episode of Palace Confidential, and was quite glad that there was a clear message coming from the UK government.

I've been bothered before by the support the Sussexes have seemed to receive from the Labour government. I suspect in this instance it was clear where their interest lay.

They made sure to say the trip was “tax-payer funded” too I see. They really never resist the opportunity to take the low road and sling a bit of mud.

Exactly. It's quite humiliating for H that he wasn't invited you these events. Other Brits living in the US were invited Tom Daly even Guy Pelly. For Harry not to be there says a huge amount.

Who else would pay for official government business? Maybe the Sussexwes would like to come clean about who exactly funds all their trips. George Soros? The donors to Invictus?

And Australian tax payers did have to pony up for security for that grift a few weeks ago

That they did. As do we every time he comes over for one of his pointless court cases. Utter hypocrisy as usual.

I thought that too. On the one hand , we can't expect Pa to visit on the tax payers' dollar , on the other hand subtle implication - we do our "tours" / visits paid for privately. Except they don't. Eg Australian police , NYC police.
I thought that came across ( to me) as a quite nasty little aside.

ladies, can someone explain the George soros and H+m connection?? Is soros very anti monarchy ?

Charles is coming across very well in the US.

Thank you for that. I think he's doing well , but hard to know whether I am just biased .
