PR Disasters Chapter 15

[FenellaFeldman]

The saga continues

I should have added @Puzzledandpissedoff who makes it up and who believes it? Seriously some of it I can possibly believe, but some is just ludicrous.

Not Portugal but Australia?

When Harry has come over (on his own obviously) since Frogmore went he’s stayed in a hotel. If the whole family came - unless there was an invitation to stay with Grandpa or at one of his palaces they’d have to stay in a hotel. And do what? Maybe they could join the National Trust and look at a few stately homes. There’s a long running series of threads about “But we took you to stately homes”. Pretty sure Archie and Lili will fit right in there in years to come. Though their beef will likely be “they never took us to stately homes”. 😂😂😂

(Not making fun of the posters on those threads who have had difficult childhoods.)

I can’t find where it’s come from but according to gossip on X they are now complaining that Pippa M has got new gates. (Which presumably her billionaire husband paid for 🙄)

What did you expect from a supporter of Ham ?

From the article:

”Reports that their federal Government reversed an earlier decision to reduce funding for Invictus Australia and restored support estimated at roughly $3 million annually have also renewed Harry's focus on Australia.”

Is this true?!

Apparently so. That reverse ferret went under the radar, I'm surprised the Sussex camp didn't make more of it.

Oh no. I think and hope Australia is just too small for their global awesomeness. The population is 26 million and I think there will be a range of scepticism towards H and M. Would they even qualify for a visa?

Veterans' Affairs Minister Matt Keogh:
"As part of establishing the new Veterans' and Families Wellbeing Agency, we're transitioning funding for broader wellbeing support to the veteran community to that new agency," Mr Keogh said.
"As we transition in order to maintain continuity and certainty of support services for our veteran community, we're providing another three years of funding to Invictus Australia."

I have doubts about a lot of the stuff which is trotted out about the Royal Family. The tabloids just chance their arm with utter fiction. They calculate how far they can go without a denial being issued by the Palace. It would look ridiculous and undignified to be issuing official denials for every trivial piece of crap that gets made up (and it would also just draw more attention to the story). So there's a grey area which gets increasingly exploited by the less conscientious media. People will read it even if they don't believe it, and quite a lot of people will actually believe it.

To a lesser extent, I would think this happens with Harry and Meghan as well. Hence the contradictory stories that appeared about Peter Phillips's wedding recently: Harry is outraged not to be invited, versus Harry has chosen not to attend because of the Hello picture deal at Peter's last wedding. Maybe one of those stories is genuinely from H&M. Maybe neither. Who knows? The only reason I think that fewer H&M stories are total fiction is that H&M clap back more than the Royal Family do (and incidentally prove how much more dignified the RF's approach is). So when they don't deny something, it does look more convincing.

Pippa has paid for a gate. Harry chose to leave the security cordon around the home he was gifted.

Oh Harry the horror.

It's from this bollocks article in Radar online. Apparently the Palace and RAVEC should intervene on local authority planning decisions to avoid Harry getting hurt feelings. 🙄

What a pair of utter dimwits
The gob on H in the first picture!
I wonder was he asked to produce his best sad face? He’s a very unattractive man.

I can only see Beaker when I look at Harry these days.

This cannot be true ffs. Pippa Middleton surely paid for these gates herself. What on earth does this have to do with H?

also, pity the Australian people if the grifters move there

I wonder if KC3 invited the whole family over and arranged for them all to be in carriages at Ascot or on a balcony etc at BP for Trooping of the colour etc - with their cousins would MM agree and ‘release’ the DCs faces?

It’s about the local authority allowing Pippa and husband to keep locked gates on a pathway on their property that locals want designated as a public footpath (it doesn’t appear to be already, so they are trying to establish an easement). The Pippas reasons for installing the gates is that they need them for their security given their royal connection. What any of this has to do with RAVEC, BP and Harry is the sum total of nothing. It’s a local authority planning matter and nothing else.

I think someone predicted that Meghan wouldn’t come to the UK this summer because who knows why. Well, here’s one of no doubt many ridiculous reasons that Meghan is apparently changing her mind about coming. How dare they disrespect her by refurbing a cottage that isn’t hers, hasn’t been lived in for 3 years and doesn’t currently suit the purpose they have in mind for it 🤦‍♀️

Of course they'd show the kids's faces. It's another merch opportunity

Who is the new very attractive young woman advertising As ever on Instagram?

That closer on line article is hilarious in so many ways. They gave up Frogmore cottage. By choice. If they wanted to come back for a private , private family visit do they not think there are enough cottages on the Sandringham or Balmoral estate they could be put up in, within the private estate cordon. This really isn't the RF being petty IMHO . Plenty of people are complaining about rents etc on the Crown Estate . This isn't H&M's personal property - they were given it as a home and they chose to leave. I'd love to know where the "receipts" are for this story because I'm just verging on believing even H wouldn't take a house he no longer has an interest in and gave up voluntarily is now becoming a slight on his wife.
On the other hand he does have form for "slights".

Who knows with H - and I think that's part of his problem. He has become to many the boy who cried wolf.

That closer on line article is hilarious in so many ways.

Indeed.
I like the way their current residence is described as "stunning" with lots of bedrooms, bathrooms, a pool and - the kicker - "even a chicken coop"!
Cor!
Even I used to have a chicken coop.

Not a chance in hell they would move there. Aussies call a spade a f*ing shovel and would give MM & Harry Windsor's pretentious wankery very short shrift indeed.
HW wouldn't get away with slapping any other blokes on the bum, not once the cameras were off.
Once the cameras were off he would find out EXACTLY what they thought of him.
Edited for conditional future tense 😅

You were clearly living the dream. I've never had a garden big enough for chickens although I can boast my son's godmother once had an Eglu. Nearest I've got. 😊

An influencer called Olivia McDowell. Her groundbreaking tips for summer hosting are:

🍓Make one thing from scratch and then buy some baked goods for the rest. Her one thing from scratch appears to be chopped cucumber. Artfully arranged on shop bought bread. Together with some shop bought croissants filled with mass produced As Ever! spread, whether your guests want their croissants that way or not. Your guests will love the cucumber sandwich/ jam croissants combo, it's what sophisticated, beige wearing types eat;

🔥Light a candle (from As Ever!) to disguise that weird smell in your house;

👋Don't make your guests a cup of tea. Give them the (As Ever!) teabags and tell them to clear off. It's a gift, stop complaining, get out!
