PR disasters thread 18

[NormalAuntFanny]

Since I finished off the last one by accident here is a shiny new 999 posts which might last us until the end of the heatwave

Fair point. Maybe she could sell Temu kind of clothes? Maybe a reality show, but the pair of them are so inadequate it would probably bomb.
I can't think what else they can do, except beg KC for more dosh.

Or maybe this?

Well …. I hate to highlight my conspiracy theory! 😁

I think you might be on to something, Mystic Jeff 🔮

You're both right!

There’s definitely been a change in the PR strategy after the stories about Charles paying for their security were immediately denied. I guess they weren’t expecting any comeback from that particular lie.

Christ they are nasty buggers on that other thread aren’t they?
Apparently William can’t read very well, as well as the usual lazy, someone dresses them 🤦‍♀️etc.
Seems there’s no crap they won’t throw in the desperate hope something sticks.

They are so thick they don’t even know what a valet/dresser does!

The thread about the Sussex children is wild - on the one hand saying how disgusting it is, all these many, many people spreading such rumours, and on the other chortling about people trying to get it deleted 🤷‍♀️

And someone on the William is lazy thread just suggested that William can’t read properly 😵‍💫

I feel like the talent pool of Sussex supporters is getting shallower 😬

Thing is there are plenty of sensible arguments to be made about the monarchy and the Waleses too. But ‘he gets put to bed by staff and he can’t even read’ are not sensible arguments imo.

I know. How stupid are some people 😂

Yes, in-fact there have been one or two threads in recent times where an intelligent debate has been had on the pros and cons of a monarchy, and they have made for interesting reading.

Unfortunately, the William is Lazy thread isn’t going to be one of those 🙄

And he only became an Air ambulance pilot to avoid royal duties apparently 😂

Yes! He was too lazy to do royal duties (even though they are apparently super easy), so got a job instead. But also - he gave up the job so that he could laze around as a so called working royal 🤷‍♀️

1. royal duties are easy
2. royal duties are too hard for lazy William, it’s easier to have a real job
3. having a real job is too hard for lazy William, it’s easier to be a working royal

I saw something similar, maybe earlier on the same thread actually, can’t remember.

1. William is lazy, he doesn’t do anything
2. William works his staff too hard, sending them emails outside working hours

Make it make sense 🤷‍♀️🥨

Oh FFS @corblimeygvnr - that ring snippet ( whilst funny ) is awfully disturbing.
Although when I ever watched something scary when I was younger on the TV , my mother would say , don't forget there is a man behind the camera filming this , so it can't actually be that bad. Although perhaps some of M's output ....😂
It didn't stop us going together to lock the back door after watching the original of "The Haunting".

😂😂oh man ✊

to quote @BigWillyLittleTodger this of course

Can I just mention that I have bet a friend £50 that M and the DC will not come to the U.K. next month? ( wine might have been involved).

It's not a bad wager 🍷 I suspect the bookies have stopped taking bets.

Very tarsome indeed, @MrsEmmelineLucas

Delurked specially for that, couldn't help myself, might have to name change to Georgie 😉

👌 excellent, Georgie!
How about a little Mozartino?

Interesting - can’t work out if it’s a piss take - P6 is supposed to be H&M mouthpiece?

Uno due, tre 🎼 😊

Oh good heavens.

I do recall reading this after H's "establishment stitch up" interview. I think I also read the BBC admitted they sent one of their less experienced reporters to do the interview.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/may/06/bbc-admits-lapse-in-standards-around-coverage-of-prince-harry-interview

However the BBC apology didn't come anywhere near the coverage for H's interview.

ETA - it amused me that again they were criticised for an interview of a close protection officer , referred to as Aitch ( he is called Richard Aitch - but it did make me laugh) The BBC not making it very clear their interview with H whinging and letting him do so without proper questioning , not so much.

They’re frankly the sort of arguments that clever monarchist strategists might come up with, to (a) make Republic supporters look even more mental, (b) drop hints that the Sussex PR machine is behind it all, and (c) drum up even more sympathy and support for William and Catherine Wales.

But I do actually think it’s the dense sugary lot surfing in on the spite of the principals.
