PR Disasters part 11

The ongoing dramas from Montecito courtesy of H&M.

I can’t see another thread but I made the same mistake last time …

Because she is keeping her children from the public eye. Merching when you’re with your kids? How uncool.

However merchandise when visiting sick kids with cancer and terrorist survivors - absolutely fine!!

Yes @Universe25, hypocrites gotta crit!

Well spotted.

I really don’t think she knows who she is unless she’s staring into a lens.

Or maybe it has nothing to do with the princess and he's just so used to being told to hide his face that it's second nature to him now.

A resignation from Invictus. This woman is in a senior position and no replacement mentioned . Maybe she has finished the job she was recruited for and this was expected. However she is described as Vice Chair. Normally I think this would be an ongoing job and there would have been succession planning so the next incumbent would be announced at the same time. Maybe I'm reading too much into it , but it looks a bit strange to me. Still no mention of finances.

Could someone remind me the name of her shopping page please ? I fancy a nosy .

One Off @bluegreygreen https://www.oneoff.world. I think you have to subscribe to have a proper nosey 😊 (which I haven't done but apparently is free)

This is exactly what is going to happen. Total grift opportunity for Meg

I wonder how many people have bought stuff ?

The photo of Archie hiding is horrible. If he's not scared of the princess then absolutely he was told to hide. He looks uncomfortable and it's so very wrong

Does anyone know anything about this charity Blesma, which supports limbless veterans?
I’ve never heard of them before but they have an ad on X.
Their X feed seems to celebrate individual service people and has a very different feel to the Invictus X feed.

It’s the most bizarre photo.

And when you think about it….this will be the best of the bunch? A child who at best is extremely reluctant to be there…at worst, overwhelmed/ scared and is using avoidance techniques to stay regulated.

If be was hiding for a laugh….then there would be another photo showing him jumping out or eventually joining in. Not just this sad scene.

To me it looks like Megs is trying to coax him out to come and join in. He’s clearly not happy to be there. But why publish that pic?

Had a few mentions over the years on Forces/ex-Forces Forums.

Generally well regarded, does good work, not high profile.

Purely because she's in the pic with a manic grin "living her best life " and f** everyone else

Working for a dodgy tutorial college many years ago, we were opposite both a BLESMA drop-in centre (the town was home to a big regiment) and the British Legion, where there was a subsidised and very popular bar for veterans. It was inevitably known as the British Legless Servicemen's Association...

Wow, feels like the Invictus house of cards is really tumbling. It can’t be coincidence for Australia to be pulling the plug so quickly after the most recent “tour”, and then for this respected Chairperson stepping down.

Ugly things must be happening behind the scenes.

But Australia was a huge success?? 🙄🙄

The composition is very strange. She's obviously set up boards/platters of foods and products (bread and butter, croissants and jam, and something else behind her) but has then decided to jump up onto the counter to strike a pose blocking the view of the products.

It looks really weird to be sitting with/on the food and a bit unsanitary - she appears to be sitting on the bread and butter board - so really odd photo to actually release as a food business,

If she really was living her best life, she wouldn’t work so hard at trying to prove it. IMO. But I reckon you are on the same page as me 😜

I wonder if they help fund people to enter Invictus games? Or steer well clear. with more direct help given. Sounds more low key whilst giving appropriate support?

It also looks to me like beside the pot of jam there’s a piece of bread just sitting on the bare countertop, which is also a very odd thing to do. Surely you’d use a board or a plate or something!

What's this obsession with perching your arse on kitchen countertops? It's so unhygienic.

They had similar photos from Frogmore in the NF 'documentary'. I wouldn't want to eat any food prepared on that kitchen counter after her arse had been there.

When I was teenager working in hospitality I remember someone being bollocked for sitting on a work surface:

’Counters are for rissoles - not arseholes’

Belated apologies - I obviously skipped over some posts and posted the Vice Chair Invictus resignation when others had done it. Sorry.

However it doesn't look well for Harry coming together with the cut in Australian funding and a month after his visit there.

There must be consternation at the moment. I'd love to be a fly on the wall for some of the conversations which must be going on. I wonder if they have a go/no go date. They still seem to light on sponsors as well as a Head of Marketing and Comms. (I assume Paul Sanders flunked his interview 😁)
