Is it nonsense?
I sometimes think I am entering a parallel universe when I read these threads honestly!
Imho, your post and many here, are proof that William’s crisis manager and the well resourced BP PR machine are doing sterling work!
Of course the RF have let the collective negative narrative on H&M run free in three major English speaking publishing and broadcasting areas and encouraged it at times in a strategic manner. I’m not the only observer to think so.
Was it simply a coincidence that Jason Knauf a former royal communications secretary, spoke out about a formal bullying complaint against Meghan Markle in 2018, a few days before H&M’s Oprah interview? And JK now works for Prince William's Earthshot Prize?
JK then went on to give a highly unusual and detailed interview on Australia’s 60-minute briefly very skilfully about Meghan’s alleged bullying (not sure but I think that one was before the launch of Meghan’s Netflix show or shopping site?) No mention of any alleged bullying by AMW!
Just like it was coincidence that teenage pal of Camilla, Jeremy Clarkson, wrote a piece e about MM so foul that he had to publically apologise for it,

It has suited the RF that the focus on H&M has distracted press attention away from AMW’s nefarious activities. It is only because of the Epstein case and Andrew Lownie’s dogged journalism that they were brought back in to focus!
There is plenty that remains to ne said and investigate about the AMW debacle;
** most importantly how much did King Charles know about AMW’s activities during the past fifteen years at least and how much was he involved in the cover up? Given that Charles, to his credit, was apparently the only person to object to AMW’s original appointment as Trade Envoy, he can hardly claim complete ignorance about AMW’s behaviour? Senior intelligence officers, MPs and the head of the Foreign Office reported on AMW to the late Queen. You do know the monarchy would still be covering for AMW unless evidence had come to light during the Epstein trial and VG’s book?
** how much was Charles involved in the pay off of Virginia Giuffre to avoid AMW going to trial and how much did he contribute, given that the pay off was made in February 2022, and the late QE2 died in September of the same year and a transfer of power had been gradually taking place? BP has issued a half hearted rebuttal of C’s involvement in the pay off, but as I understand it, the journalists of The Sun and Andrew Lownie both happened upon the same sources of this story independently.
*^ why is Palace PR churning out the story that they are fully supportive of the investigation of AMW while concurrently reminding previous PPOs and staff of their NDAs and the terms on which their future pensions are delivered? BP has offered a diffident rebuttal of this b
** and given what we know about the then Prince Charles and three incidents involving a cash for honours scandal, a cash for citizenship scandal, receipt of carrier bags of cash for charity, the alleged fencing of gifts where an internal investigation found nothing wrong, the questions around the funding of Dumfries House, etc etc, how much were, or are, the RF involved in similar strategies used by AMW in the past, albeit in a less extreme and crass way?
If you want to talk about monetising, my admittedly unsubstantiated theory is that the reason both Sophie and Fergie, as relatively new wives, felt at ease offering access to their husbands for money to supposed foreign dignitaries, was that they had seen this model employed by other Royal Family members before.
And the RF may well be “getting on with stuff” but I think most of us can observe that they have a serious of high profile public events for the summer season such as Trooping the Colour, Ascot , BP garden parties, the faintly ridiculous Order of the Garter ceremony, and then they bugger off on holiday to Scotland for months at a time!
Given that KC has cancer, to be completely fair, he can be forgiven an extended break. It’s also really good news that Catherine is now fit enough to return to a full work schedule.
But William and Catherine are said on average to take twelve weeks holiday a year! And it’s not as if they are squeezing in the washing and cleaning the bathroom, collecting their Amazon parcels and doing granny’s food shop when they are working either, like the rest of us are!
