PR disasters Thread 17

Can’t see a new thread so thought I would start a new one to continue discussing the grifters

Really? Those two women sound right up their street.

That's a tricky one alright. Not a chance if she's staying in any Royal residence and not monetise it. This is a headache for the MIGS indeed.

And it's not if KC can say, sorry, no room 😅😅

If they divorce M will want 2 things - money and her title . I would imagine the MIGS know this and any settlement will have very strict conditions attached to it so a book ( who would believe it anyway?) might not happen.

In their shoes I'd take the tack that it needs to be discreet because of the 'security risk' they've been worried about all this time 🙄 so not one of the big showy places. St James's Palace could work as Americans are unlikely to be as familiar or impressed with it. Has the work started on Frogmore yet?

And yes, I'd bug it <taps nose>

The rumour I read was that the Wales nanny , Maria , found Meghan taking photos of Charlotte’s bedroom .
As far as Invictus is concerned the 2027 event clashes with Camilla’s 80th birthday and apparently some events are planned including a Service of Thanksgiving and a Ball .

I would stick them back in Nottingham Cottage! That would teach them.

On the other hand, why do RF need to put them up at all ? They could arrange their own accommodation and still visit KC

Weren't the Scotty's kids promised a special surprise from Harry one Remembrance Sunday - which turned out to be a very small bag of sweets?

Isn’t BP open to the public over the summer? I’m sure Meg could buy them all some tickets.

Good call! 🤣

The Times take, if you can stomach it. Warning contains wishful thinking.

Harry, Meghan and the kids are coming! Will Kate and Wills meet them?

Meet their cousins? They cannot be serious

Yeah and Camilla will bake some biscuits and everyone will say how sorry they are...

My main thought is I can’t imagine Meghan ever wearing Boden.

Total stirring from the Times. They know perfectly well the Waleses will be unavailable for this. Beatrice and Eugenie can decide for themselves whether they want to keep the future king on side or not, depending on their feelings of confidence in their own family situation. I wouldn't risk it.

More talking up Theo Rycroft as the peacemaker. He's clearly annoyed someone who would like him moved on.

Lee Cohen’s been reading our thread too!

But even he needs to catch up on the Invictus ‘origin story’ guff. Harry was not the founder. He couldn’t set up an ironing board, let alone an international event. He couldn’t think up a recipe for an omelette, let alone a financial sponsorship arrangement. The whole idea of Harry doing Invictus is ludicrous.

I wonder if this crap is all coming from Theo Rycroft himself, the rather odd new-ish MIG with what seems to be an over-inflated sense of his own skills and importance?

Is he doing diplomatic actualisation above his station??

ETA: Just seen your post @PullTheBricksDown - interesting idea. Very interesting. I can imagine Rycroft being annoying.

Oops, 😆

Sorry if this is the wrong thread but just wanted to make a point that meanwhile, this is what the Wales family actually have to put up with. The Sandringham ‘stalker’ case has revealed all this today. Upsetting for many of the royal family to learn in the middle of their Ascot public appearances. And Carole and Michael Middleton.

‘Andrew stalker researched Princess Charlotte and killing methods

‘Man accused of threatening Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor allegedly searched online for information on weapons and members of Royal family

‘A man who allegedly threatened Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor also researched the Princess of Wales and her children and looked up weapons and methods of killing, The Telegraph can reveal.’

I’ll try and archive it.

Possibly this will put the kybosh on the crowd excesses of the Xmas Sandringham walk. Hope so. It was becoming too much.

femtosecond Thank you. A word I have never heard before. Love it, and so apt in this context.

That one passed me by so I looked it up. They look like they had been decanted from a bigger share bag into a smaller bag tied with a ribbon. Wonder who gave him that idea?!

Notice that most of that is sources from "a business associate of Harry's" plus a large amount of speculating. I think it's Sussex manifesting (ie Harry hoping security will be restored when he has always had security) plus rubbish like the Wales children being desperate to see cousins they have never met.

As I said upthread the press are having a field day but of you read it there are very few facts. It is nothing more than the usual "will they come at Christmas" writ large.

Incidentally who has it out for Catherine at The Times? So much of this stuff presents her in a negative light.

My god that is awful.

The Spectator article saying exactly what’s we said on here, Invictus remains firmly the Harry & Meghan show.

The veterans deserve an occasion focused squarely on their service, not tangled up in separate talks about protection and the full gamut of Sussex drama.

the latest noise is likely more motivated by the couple’s recognition, late in the day, that royal cachet was the only thing keeping the Sussex brand afloat. Without it, the Californian dream has proven hollow.

Britain will surely support genuine service to veterans. However, it is under no obligation to provide the stage, the security, or the forgiveness to a couple who rejected, disparaged, and now needs it once more. It can back Invictus and the veterans without giving Harry and Meghan a fresh platform for reinvention. The public will make its own call – if and when the moment arrives.
