The ongoing saga of Sussex PR

The Times has a good article. Sorry can’t link.

• there’s real fears by the claimants that the insurers wont pay out at all
• The claimants lawyers were no win no fee
• That its very much expected that the Judge will award indemnity costs
• That it could be up to 90%
• DM says costs of £50 million

I wonder what SF thinks of all this- I can't imagine she can readily afford it either.

The 'protective' of DL is all a bit 'make sure she (TLQ) has the right people around her' as in all words and no action.

Yes - well you lied more than me ! Well you were more stupid than me as you were beyond the time limit . 🤷‍♀️

Yes. Very vague. Both the 'source' and the promises made. If any.

It's pretty obvious DL was recruited to provide some sort of 'moral weight' to the case. Otherwise they had an embittered, litigious prince and a few has been C listers. Having her on board gave it a bit more respectability and pathos, or so they hoped. Problem is, the legal system works on evidence and it just wasn't there.

I do think she will have agreed to get involved on condition all her costs were met. But not necessarily by Harry, at least not by Harry alone, his 'knight in shining armour' persona notwithstanding.

And we are straight back with the will she won't she bullshit

Afternoon ladies.
Im too hot and tired to type much.
First - There are not a plethora of Disabled Spaces in London. What a twat. Is being a lying entitled loser classed as a disability now?
Second - he’s not ‘Royal’ anymore. He’s a private citizen whose father happens to be King. How much staff time was wasted -which we pay for- in facilitating this knob to visit ‘children in hospital’?? He’s promoting himself
Third - If the judge decides they have to pay the full costs he’s toast. I hope his father tells him to naff orf. Interestingly the case will be on his father’s 45th wedding anniversary how in all that’s holy is it 45 years? That means I’m mid fifties ffs!!

Not sure why DL would get involved with this she’s at risk now of having to pay a very large legal bill.

I wonder if H saying he " will see DL right" is the same as him donating to CiN ? He has form for spending other peoples' money.

Duke very protective of DL. As if. All he cares about is himself and his abhorrent wife

😂😂😂 I bet pow is stocking up on lipgloss as we speak

Tom Bower was on KS show last night. He said he also feels vindicated as everything he wrote about HAM is true. That's why HAM didn't sue

They all need the sort of pal Farage has, the sort that gives you £5 million for no particular reason...

• The claimants lawyers were no win no fee

Imagine doing all that work for nothing! The bouffant one will have to start a gofundme for hair mousse.

Yes! , it’s very much their memo from Oprah all over again! Imply but leave room for plausible deniability! 🤔 , I could be totally wrong but the statement was obviously written by someone else! But who? , Sherborne? Another person involved? , I’m wondering if it is infact not just Harry or not Harry at all who’s covering her bill , was she coerced ( persuaded) to sign with Harry to add more sympathy to his case!
its all very odd!

His word salad at the children's hospital today. He churns out the same boring nonsensical verbiage at every event. "Doing good, showing up, blah blah blah. He has zero charisma

Criticism of the government’s health spending is going to endear him to the health secretary I’m sure!! , he really likes to spout shite he shouldn’t! 🙄

From the Tom Bower article:

The Sussexes had expected to exploit a police-protected visit. Posing as a royal couple, he and Meghan hoped to tour the country, acknowledging the cheers of loyal Britons.

He's right - money can't buy that kind of publicity. They almost pulled it off too, but then in typical Sussex fashion they fucked it up.

I could be totally wrong but the statement was obviously written by someone else! But who?

DL herself?

Now I didn’t think of that ! , very good point!

Maybe Doreen has receipts - evidence that Harry and Sherborne basically conned her into joining the case, and they need her to keep quiet. Which would essentially be bribery, I guess.

That slanderous statement DL signed didn't have the air of a woman who had been 'conned' into taking part in the case.

The Daily Express are running a story that Invictus will likely be cancelled

Based on a podcast that contained the very interesting information that the £26 million was not a blank cheque for the HAM show - the government will only match funds that IG raises. It says so far only £3 million has been spent.

Good news, although I very much feel for the veterans.
It's entirely the HAM show.

Perhaps he meant he'd pay her insurance premium - cos there's no way a Prince could lose - right?

I bet she wouldn't share a pay out if she won! Let's see if h actually stands by his promise. I doubt ANL feel sympathetic to her lack of money. When you shit on your staunchest supporter expect shit back.
