PR disasters Thread 17

[Mylovelygreendress]

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

He probably viewed the money as his in the same way the Crown views taxpayers' money as a given. It's the way he's been raised!

But it is not his , it’s the charity that was set up from his late mother’s charity money ! And Harry unfortunately doesn’t seem to understand that his charities are not personal piggy banks.

You can look it up on companies house. I think about £1.4 million. So its still active, income is usually slightly higher than expenditure (donations) but I presume that means its capital is invested and some return is retained to maintain capital in line with inflation rather than running the capital down. It will give away grants of around £50-70k a year.

Interesting that he has remembered to say it wasn’t Archewell money, but forgotten to say it was Glen Beg money 🙄
Self-aggrandising scumbag behaviour as usual.

Glen Beg sounds like someone they'd both be friends with...

😂

Harry didn’t just donate funds from this charity to the bbc ! , he literally closed the charity down and transferred the entire amount to CIN ! , why would he do that to a charity that was set up to honour his mother?!

I suspect that when he was Royal all the various charities, foundations etc. that he had something to do with were managed entirely by others. Now he's on his own its too much bother to keep up with them. So he's streamlining.

He's an adult, he left all the royal stuff behind, he hasn't been part of it for 6 years.
What "I can't help being a greedy, grifter, it's the way I was raised" ?
You'd think even his fans would expect some sort of responsibility on his part.

Of course they were managed entirely by others. Harry wouldn't trouble himself to look at any details, take any responsibility, or engage in any depth.

It’s also very suspicious that he closed this charity down and donated it all to the BBC CIN when they don’t need the money ( they raise millions themselves every year ) and it coincides with that ridiculous interview and the bbc suddenly giving favourable coverage of him! 🤔🤷‍♀️

Maybe because of the Sentebale debacle? Possibly he decided he didn't want more scrutiny from the Charity Commission. The GB Foundation was set up in the first place to help disadvantaged children, so the money going to CiN was a good thing ultimately.

From what I remember the agreement was that the security was for official and private visits with family when he had given 28 days notice, for charity or court visits he used his own security with police perhaps sweeping the premises. Hence the video of him leaving the well child event and videoing a motorcycle behind the car or the over zealous fan in the courtroom. This reporting seems to me to insinuate that Harry is now happy enough about the security arrangements that he is willing to bring his family. As far as I can see Invictus is a charity visit not an official one therefore I think the arrangements must have changed. Regardless he is a millionaire bringing his family on a work trip why should we pay for that and why should the government expect us to.

Yet another article . I am more and more convinced that H and M are feeding this information to the media but something will happen ( such as KC unavailable or very strict conditions attached to any meeting) therefore M and the DC will not come .
I simply cannot envisage Meghan willingly coming to the U.K. .

Its such a mountain out of a mole hill.

Of course Pa should see his darling boy in private if their diaries allow when they are in the same area. It would be odd not to Its an elderly father and son who live in different countries being able to connect with one another.

So long as His Majesty the King is not inviting Prince Harold to attend a public event representing the crown.

This reporting seems to me to insinuate that Harry is now happy enough about the security arrangements that he is willing to bring his family.

Do you honestly think that Harry has genuine concerns about his security in Britain? Not to mention that Meghan is a grown woman who will have input into the decision. She isn't passively waiting to be 'brought' by her husband.

If - and that's a big if - they all come, then I suspect it will have a lot more to do with Meghan's desperation for royal associations rather than any material change to security arrangements.

"The Monarch would likely keep any reunion private".
Yes, but what's the likelihood of Harry keeping anything private! 🤣

Has he announced (leaked) he is coming with the kids to make it look likely he will see the king so he gets public funded security?

is he trying to get the king to agree to see the kids to appear more Royal Adjacent and give his earning potential a boost? Someone said the kids could be in a photo with Grandpa the king which could be ‘accidentally’ in a background shot of some future Montecito video. What better final reveal could you have of your kids’ faces than in a shot with KC? And you could make sure the photo is just blurry enough that you haven’t actually revealed their faces and can then do a second reveal!

Yes I agree that neither has genuine concerns about security.
I have genuine concerns about paying for it and genuine concerns that this money could go towards protecting military personnel during conflict so that they don’t need the services of the Invictus games.

I have absolutely no problem the money going to CiN - what I do have a problem with is H passing it off as his own money. & I think he has - in a recent video prior to the release of a film by young filmmakers. I suppose he was torn between the PR appeal of making it sound like he dug into his own pocket and mentioning his mother again. Looks like self interest won out.

My my maths that’s roughly the annual interest on the £1.4 million.

Even if PH made that donation from that trust it’s not as if he even raised it himself by fundraisers etc.

In some ways you can look at it as PH severing any connection with PW.

it would have been honorable, and more normal, to acknowledge his mum in the whole transaction, a legacy passed from his mum to him that he was now donating to a charity he knows she would have supported, etc etc. it would have been a far better PR move in the long term.

This is a ridiculously positive take on Harry. I think he's complicit in everything Meghan does, if only because he stands quietly by her side. This is a possible indication of what stance the British media will take on next month's visit (e.g. very generous to Harry).

If the link doesn't work (I know sometimes archive links don't), it's the DM's Liz Jones article which begins 'The cracks in Harry and Meghan's perfect facade...'

Edit: punctuation

I agree with everyone's comments about the CiN donation. Our Prince of Tackling Misinformation accidentally misleads everyone again...

Do you think it's possible for Harry to be honest and straightforward about anything?
