The ongoing saga of Sussex PR

Very good points. They didn't organise the paps and they didn't get photos. It's also proved how reasonable KC and QC are

So the "private family occasion" is being reported on the BBC News at 10, tacked onto an item about Invictus, Harry's quasi royal "job". Oh, and then footage of William and Catherine at the polo match and "no signs of reconciliation" with them. So now it starts. W&C the bad guys, while the meeting with Charles is being called "significant" by the state broadcaster.

Didn’t take long did it?

I’m torn between

A) Charles has done well, private meeting, no photos
B) nfw should he have net them considering the outrageous statement re the judge

In a perfect world, the meeting happened, Charles bollocked them both and spelled out the consequences for continued bullshit, ie he will remove the titles

but that’s wishful thinking on my part

This does fuck me off. The BBC shouldn't be reporting any of this.

Apologies for my language, it is testament to how much it annoys me.

I just can’t see any evidence that Charles would be interested in rekindling even a personal relationship. Before today he’d seen Harry twice in 3 years, both times briefly and at Harry’s instigation. He didn’t bother to see them when he was in America, didn’t invite them to any events there, didn’t mention them when he talked about his family, never mentions them in his speech at Christmas either. Even without the enormous personal fallout from H+M’s behaviour, Charles knows that any real royal adjacency for these two would be a huge risk, Harry getting mocked for his GCSE debate club style political speeches, slapping random arses and humping women, lying in court, accusing a high court judge of corruption, giving women drugs as a test, Meghan using vulnerable people - children! - to sell clothes. What is there for the RF to gain? They are all (except Andrew) much more popular than the Sussexes. W+C are doing great stuff and getting good press for it. The Wales children are growing up fast. The Sussexes on the other hand are global laughing stocks, widely despised and the last thing the monarchy needs right now when it is already precarious because of Andrew. Charles’s job is to protect the institution and protect the heir. Which means not letting this couple - who send gift boxes to their supporters who attack the PoW online remember - anywhere near them. Plus I bet Camilla loathes them 😂

(eta typo)

Australia 🇦🇺 tv just reported it to say am news 😮

Catherine did look absolutely beautiful in the footage, though, so that's something 😂

A meeting to cut his titles would be the only conversation I hope he has. And telling them to stop being idiots.

Yes catherine and William looked very cute and such a pretty dress 👗

Courtesy of Redtt:
"I hope Camilla instructed the kitchen staff to serve a platter of fruit slices arranged to spell out FAFO U TWATS."
🤣

“Sure Harry, I’ll pay your legal bills but I want to meet my grandkids first and then any
money you do get comes with
ironclad rules or you’ll lose every penny.” Or there abouts.

You are assuming the meeting went well. It might have been cordial but formal with the focus firmly on the kids. Camilla entertained her grand kids a lot at Ray Mill so can help keep everything focused on the kids and small talk for an hour or two.

The private meeting and no photos being released is a statement. If any photo is ever seen or the meeting discussed by HAM then KC will know they can’t be trusted. Although if the meeting isn’t seen then it really limits the usefulness of it from a grifting perspective. Next time they need some royal adjacency HAM could save the carbon footprint and just leak that they had had another invisible private visit with the king.

@Choux What you describe is exactly how I expect it went down.

I think (hope) Meghan might have been a surprised about how different things feel being in an audience with the King and Queen.

Charles was not yet officially King last time she saw him. I suspect this kind of direct interaction with just the four adults was exceedingly rare, too.

Good points!!

Remember when the late Queen pointedly had photos of Charles and of the Wales family on her desk when she did her Christmas speech, (probably 2020?) and H&M were apparently outraged to be so publicly omitted? Charles could do a bit of reverse trolling by having a photo of them all, with smiling children face forward, on his desk for his next Christmas speech. Thus being the person who reveals the children's faces.
Imagine the meltdown that would provoke! 😆😂

I also need a bite of the hat, because I didn't think that the children would be brought to the UK. But they have been and guess what, it all happened quietly and smoothly.

Although I remain hopeful there is another explanation ( and Charles is playing 4d chess ) , it’s very true that the optics are not good! , I find nothing in your argument that isn’t sound.

She’s got more front than Blackpool!!

The optics are terrible. CG, Katie N and Rebecca E have spoken about the toll this bullshit court case had on their physical and mental health. Then this twat basically accused the Judge of corruption. 48 hours later, he's laughing, dry humping Alison then off to tea with KC.

Can you blame them? , I too can’t believe that time after time they do ridiculous and somewhat mendacious acts, yet no one’s calling them out! , no comeuppance seems to arrive! , nobody else gets away with this public behaviour!
I can imagine the anger! , on occasion I feel it too.

I want to highlight your post!! , I think we are all flip flopping from one side to another!!!
however I believe we are ALL correct!
it is a little from column A and a little from column B!

It will be interesting to see his demeanour tomorrow, with reference to the pp hoping Charles gave him a bollocking and a warning. Considering the massive and humiliating scale of his legal defeat and subsequent revelations from Charlotte Griffiths, and his wife's refusal to appear with him in public like he's human kryptonite, he certainly looked very chirpy and happy in Birmingham today, no doubt smug in the knowledge that he was off to see Charles in a couple of hours.

I can see why Charles might want a personal relationship with Harry , he is his son and no matter what he’s done, I can’t imagine cutting my son off !
however Charles needs to separate his father’s head from his HOS head , the two are not compatible.
