He’s going down the disheveled Rory McGrath lookalike route.

Didn’t Rory McGrath write an autobiography called Bearded Tit? Maybe Harry took it to heart.

Gosh there is a likeness there!

Tyler Perry cut off contact? They owe him 14million😨. He's the daughter's Godfather, therefore another contact she won't have a relationship with

That spokesperson for the Sussexes won't have been SS. That riposte is, in summary:

-how dare you question us
-the way you've questioned us is pathetic
-pics or it didn't happen
-you're wrong
-why are you always picking on us.

SS are far too professional and good at their jobs to indulge in this sort of gutter-level, tit-for-tat, "he hit me!", "no I didn't, he hit me first!", "no I didn't and you can't prove it so stop lying" immature playground BS. Nothing needed to be said. They're so thin-skinned, so unsure of their choices and decisions, so wounded at not being universally revered any more, they just can't help themselves. That statement was dictated by one of them and the "spokesperson" did what they could to temper it.

The apparent lack of class (as in, their joint demonstration of the kind of desperation mixed with stupidity that equates to social vulgarity) has always been there, bubbling under the surface.

I don’t understand this new communications directive…which seems to be, answer back to anything and everything, regardless how outlandish the claims.

If their finances are fine, then why bother with the touchy clapback, just makes it like there is something going on and they’re sensitive about it.

Sunshine Sachs must be getting paid by the word, because they seem to be answering to every bloody story. Why even respond to a story that you claim is unreliable because they haven't cited their sources? It makes no sense.

SS will be bleeding Meg and Harry dry with this comms approach. Oh the irony.

Are they still with Sunshine Sachs? I thought I had read they'd stopped working with them - or was that another thing?

Thanks @BasiliskStare.

I had seen the CharityWatch website before, but hadn't looked for a while.

I think there are specific regulations in the US for charities acting as foundations, but don't know the details - someone else might.

Looking at the top 5 places that Archewell donated to in that year:
M&C Saatchi - advertising company, a breakaway from Saatchi&Saatchi
Invisible Hand - can't find anything except the economic theory
Jiore Craig - works/worked with Institute for Strategic Dialogue; has a really annoying website Jiore Craig
Dinner Party Labs - The Dinner Party seems to be a charity based on conversations about grief - now defunct
Herlihy Loughran - a company that supports high profile clients to deliver philanthropy; set up by 2 women who have worked for the Sussexes (and others in the Royal Household)

Only one of those seems to qualify as a charity, to my eyes.

Mylovelygreendress · 06/05/2026 17:13

There are a few articles along the same theme

Wasn’t there a Biden that Archewell donated to? As in, Dad’s the President Biden?

IIRC - they left Sunshine Sachs and went to William Morris Endeavor but that didn't work out and they went back to SS a few months ago

Yes - some charity related to Biden's daughter IIRC

What's the point in these if people are trying to make a point?

Because from what I've seen any article with comments has at least 90% replies of "no way, don't want them". So it's not making people think "how lovely", if anything it's making people feel indignant that they would even think of trying.

I think a return to UK is the last throw of the dice to be honest. I think they are so desperate now, they'll take a role in the RF at this stage

Mylovelygreendress · 06/05/2026 17:54

I know H and M aren’t overly bright but surely even they must realise that they aren’t particularly wanted in the U.K. ?

bluegreygreen · 06/05/2026 17:54

Yes - Ashley Biden's charity, @MildManneredRepublican.

That was in 2023.

What’s it got to do with King Charles how Meghan is received? Does Harry think anyone in the RF will be waiting in line to greet Meghan? I would imagine the only royals H&M will meet if any, is Charles himself, the rest of them won’t give them the time of day. It’s clear then that the gruesome twosome will be coming here in July for another pseudo royal tour, it’s going to be unbearable.

My local sewage plant has been upgraded, they could cut the ribbon while they are here.

Not sure how reliable that site is @Mylovelygreendress

“He wants firm reassurance that everyone will keep things polite and give her a fair chance. It’s a tricky line for him because he’s trying to keep his father on side while also protecting his wife,” mole continued.

Firm reassurance ffs

He genuinely believes he's loved and missed hugely in the UK and she has balls of steel. If their last grift is a half arsed working royal, so be it. They both peddled off very unwell children in Australia. They can go lower and they will

How is it clear that they will both be here for a pseudo royal tour in July? Have I missed something?

I can imagine that PH is under pressure from IG to whip up the 12 months to go hype so more tickets get sold in the UK.

From recent RF source the ongoing ‘bitterness and trust’ issues from H&M that are still unresolved will mean no meeting public or private.

Starryfifty · 06/05/2026 18:18

Yes, why are they coming over here on July ?
