PR disasters thread 23

Let the games continue…….

Imagine Meghan cringing herself inside out when she heard the crassness of her 'fox' on that podcast.
H single-handedly ruining her attempts at a carefully curated image of her 'fox'. If this is the level of boorishness she has to put up with, I actually feel sorry for her!

Maybe they changed their numbers 😂😂

I couldn't listen to all of this but tiktok showed me the clip of them talking about his hair colour and, to be fair, Harry is clearly joking. Marler asks 'what is one thing that people don't know about you?' and H says that 'people don't know that I'm not ginger' and goes on to say he's Auburn sunset. It's, and I hate this word, banter. He goes on to say that he was bullied at school about being called carrot top but this is all part of the 'joke'. So he is joking about being bullied.

It's very poorly judged on Harry's part. He isn't a funny guy and this just gives rise to lazy headlines. I agree that Meghan would probably hate this kind of 'banter'.

Blimey what a lot of research, you are very dedicated to go looking to see if there were threads or posts about previous Invictus appearances 👏👏

Life's way too short for that!

Reminds me of the poster who did a mathematical analysis of how often the 'average' contributor to these threads had posted over the past year. As her way of showing that some people were 'obsessed.' I guess obsession takes different forms.

OMG that is beyond disgusting, what on earth makes him think we want to know about his pubes or his ablutions? I mean, really, just fuck off to the far side of fucking fuck.

What an embarrassment he is. Surely someone at the palace has got to be saying Shut Him Up, please?

And I'll raise you a ROFLMAO 😂

"Full time dad" that just conviently has an army of staff and nannies to do all the hard work for him.

I get the impression neither of them are very hands on and present parents. I remember watching the netflix documentary and being aware of how often they seemed to be in New York on seperate occasions when Lilibet would have been a very young baby, under 6 months anyway.

No plans to listen to the podcast but wondering if he talks about Meghan ? Usually he is saying how amazing she is ( as instructed by her!).
Thanks to @TheHatTrick for listening !!

Thanks for listening so we don't have to, much appreciated and you are making me laugh

The difference between this podcast and the Mike Tindall/James Haskell one with Anne, William, and Catherine back in 2023 is stark.

Harry has no dignity.

@TheHatTrick thanks for listening for all our benefit!

It strikes me just how often Harry makes inappropriate or sexualised comments, very often about men. Combined with nipple tweaking and bum slapping, and dry humping people morning TV presenters.

even CG had that anecdote about him rearranging all the ornamental animals into sex positions.

It’s not normal behaviour.

It really doesn't bother me whether she's there. But don't say you're going to attend something then pull out at the last minute because you think it's unsafe because you've not been given the security you want. Not only does it make you seem you're somehow better than veterans who gave their life to the country, it's also an insult to our intelligence services. And not to mention a massive distraction for the charity.

He goes on to say that he was bullied at school about being called carrot top but this is all part of the 'joke'. So he is joking about being bullied.

Was he bullied or was he teased? There's a difference.

Almost every kid gets teased at some point - about their hair, their body shape, their name, their parents' jobs - but bullying is on an entirely different level and can cause serious upset for the child. Or adult in some cases.

I highly doubt a Prince of England got bullied in public school. Which isn't to say the upper classes can't be just as obnoxious, as we can see from Harry. But that there is no way the staff at Eton or Ludgrove are going to allow a Prince to be genuinely bullied.

Having reread I now think it likely didn’t take very long at all, looks impressive (if a little OTT) but issuing ChatGPT with some instructions is a relatively quick process 🤔

Yep, these long ChatGPT posts need to be binned, sick of bots being used for discussions.

we need to agree on some kind of warning keyword when we spot an AI generated post .

It was accurate at the time - he was a working royal.

He didn't mention Meg at at all ?? Very odd but even she wouldn't want to be anyway part of that podcast

"That comment now seems remarkably apt. Meghan has not attended the recent Invictus event, yet the criticism has simply shifted from questioning why she was there to questioning why she isn't, with claims that she is not supporting Harry. It rather demonstrates that, for some people, whichever choice she makes is likely to attract criticism."

There's a world of difference between being by your DP's side, listening to what they say, interacting with people and allowing them to be the focus, and supporting and promoting events, to being front and centre of all and everything, merching clothes, stealing your DP's limelight, and making every appearance about yourself. And only yourself.

Spot on. She never supports him. If he was successful last Tuesday, she'd be by his side.

No mention of his chimpo role when discussing his occupation. Has that ship sailed for him?

Like most, I hope this is the beginning of Meghan being removed from the Invictus gravy train.

She certainly intended to come, as Harry & Meghan announced it, so either Invictus said there is far too much adverse publicity as this has turned into a PR disaster and Invictus requested Meghan to step away to prevent even more negative coverage and damage to the Invictus brand, or she did not want to be seen publicly anywhere near Harry’s debacle of a visit.

I like to think Invictus stepped in and said No to Meghan attending, I wonder is that why Harry didn’t attend the inauguration of the Invictus one year to go event,!

Wonder will she still be able to expense the clothes she bought for the events ?

I was wondering about that. Would also love an explanation as to what a Chief Impact Officer does? Probably as little as a full time Dad with 2 Nannies

I think he just turned up occasionally, drank hot chocolate and waved apiece of paper round. Job done.

It’s not that she attends , it’s the fact that she makes everything she does about her . From multiple outfit changes to marching in front of veterans to grabbing any microphone within 20 feet to ordering everyone where to stand on a podium , it’s all about Meghan !
By contrast , Catherine attended a charity polo match to support her husband , managed to keep the same dress on all afternoon and stayed in a supportive role .
