I have tried repeatedly signing Harry/invinctus petition and I don't get the confirmation email to click on 🤷 my husband also tried. Anyone else had a problem? How many signatures not getting through.

I signed it last night and I think it was at 1700ish signatures. Now it's at 1300. Weird.

I think it says US on it somewhere - maybe there needs to be a separate UK one for signatures of UK residents to be accepted?

Thanks for the new thread @Mylovelygreendress Harry has really shot himself in the foot this time by pissing off the media, he thought he was being so clever by manipulating the press and trying to manipulate Ravec and the Palace, what a tool.

He hasn’t manipulated or pissed off the media - they are an industrial machine driven to maximise clicks and cash for themselves. If anything they are delighted that PH is generating even more shit that creates content and cash for them for free. They have zero interest in the sentiment or message it’s just a land grab for clicks and cash.

Same above for monarchy - well oiled industrial machine who know how to manage these fools - with detachment, distance and dignity - don’t wrestle with pigs etc don’t get in their way as they circle the drain - stand well back away from the shitstorm.

It was at 1900 when I tried to sign this morning, just looked again and under 1300 something is very wrong

Thank you @Mylovelygreendress enjoy your op status!

Am going on holiday for 5 days so expect we will be on thread 21 by then unless things calm down a bit.

The Times is pretty down on the harkles today. Share token here.

The press seem pretty united in feeling duped by the latest drama, they finally seem to be able to make the point that security is always on offer as is accommodation, something they seem to have been incapable of pointing out in the past.

Of course the media have always known that security and accommodation was always on offer - we’ve all known that - but it suited them (the media) to keep the agitation going for clicks and cash right up until the wire - they have no interest in reporting all the facts just headlines/ content irritating enough to pull in readers.

Tell that to Tom Sykes.

'Harry's got a mountain to climb to fix PR issues' is intended to contrast the chaotic and silly Sussexes with the rational, low-key Waleses.

Or a piss take that cancer survivor Catherine climbed 3 mountains in under 24hrs selflessly and heroically to raise money for cancer charities - whilst the delusional and grandiose toddler is on holiday in Europe tantruming and spinning his wheels in the shit.

Not only does H&Ms every manoeuvre inadvertently generate loads of cash for their hated tabloids, it also diminishes their own brand on a daily basis - ‘The Ratner Royals’ - and indirectly enhances the RF as the public acknowledge both their private exasperation and public dignity in the face of H&M nonsensical shenanigans.

It's just crazy. What a terrible atmosphere, constantly putting themselves out there, constantly desperate for fame and headlines.

Agree.

Thanks for the new thread @Mylovelygreendress

@BigWillyLittleTodger Re Tom Sykes, I think I'll probably wait and see how he reports over the next few months before deciding.

Outrage, whether real or manufactured, does generate increased views.

Just remembering the recent photo of Lady Louise sitting calmly on the floor of a crowded train.

Tell that to Tom Sykes.

TS is looovvving this - more chaos, more content, more cash. He has always been very critical of PH’s behaviour and its consequent negative impact on members of the RF. He knows PH is mercurial - this is the foundation of TS career - the more outbursts, acting out, flip-flopping tantrums the better (for TS) - he hasn’t been taken in by PH.

Love these epic lines:

“Is he just chaos-mongering, as he and Meghan flail around for a last go at relevancy?”

“This extravagant episode in self-pity, piety and bridge-burning…”

But both are pretty consistent behaviours displayed before, during and after their time in the RF - and also with numerous (now ex ) old friends, colleagues, staff…

Aprilfountain · Today 11:41

Wow, that article by Tom Sykes is brilliant, just when I thought Harry couldn't sink any lower he goes and does this 🙄

OctopusFriend · Today 11:43

Now I see quite a few of the Sussex fans are trotting out a new script; apparently, the RF are using H&M to distract from AMW!
It would be funny if it wasn't so delusional.

corblimeygvnr · Today 11:46

Anyone with any sense can see that Harry is an idiot. This has blown up in his face removing any last shred of reputation that he may have had. I've said many times before this man will never be happy. He should be enjoying his life with his children but that doesn't seem to be happening.

This Times article is also a good example of how invisible the Invictus veterans have become in the chaos of Harry’s demands. The discussion is entirely about Harry & Meghan and their wants and desires.

The Times article further demonstrates perfectly just how apt the opening paragraph of the Change petition is to remove Harry from the Games:

Prince Harry, a private citizen with no official representation of any country, is leveraging his position within the Invictus Games to gain access to government entities, media, and military facilities. His involvement raises significant concerns as he manipulates the event, founded to support injured veterans, for his personal gain and media exposure. This is not only unethical but also potentially harmful to the integral mission of the Games.”

How can somebody be so utterly self destructive? Do they not see that this is also causing damage to their young children?

No, they clearly don't. Bizarrely, they seem to have an ambition for their children to be working royals, and for Archie to take over Invictus.
They are so desperate to remain royal.

Meghan gets what Meghan wants or nobody gets anything. Indeed

It’s completely fascinating on a psychological level. And that’s why there are so many threads. You want to look away, but you are sucked in every single time.

If they had really wanted a quiet life, away from it all, they could so easily have had it.

Or if they had wanted the billionaire lifestyle, they probably could have achieved it, if they’d put the groundwork in first, did the Oprah and Spare book differently, more reflectively, not badmouthed, keen to keep family onside, turn up to a few family events.

Its not bloody hard to see where it went wrong.

Most of us could see it, why the hell couldn’t their expensive PR team see it???
