PR disasters thread 23

Let the games continue…….

I think she would probably have enjoyed how uncomfortable her presence made H and M feel, especially as protocol demands that they bow/curtsey to her! She seems to have a delightfully wicked sense of humour.

That’s quite some take on the situation.

He certainly won't call it. I'm sure she can cope with his embarrassing antics for another 22months

Are 'hamlets' their little children? If so, that's a bit off saying that surely? Who talks about children like that 🫨😮

I still don’t know how he had the cheek to accept that award.
My Victoria Sandwich is pretty good and won 1st at the local country show but I wouldn’t accept a ‘legend of Baking’ award.
He doesn’t even have his -and never did have -pilots licence to fly outside the military. He isn’t interested in it the way his grandfather, father and brother are/were.

D-day was a secret but once it happened it ceased to be secret and everyone knew about it. Some things are often kept secret before they happen.

Absolutely - the in/out/in/out shenanigans have been ridiculous. Just this last month must have been exhausting. Like having a cat who keeps yowling for you to open the door, and then won't go through.

My point is about someone considtently saying "facts matter" while then simultaneously posting unsupported accusations. 🤦‍♀️ meghan isn't on this forum so I can't ask her can I but if you have a direct line to her by all means let me know

And she had to record Wimbledon, she was proper blazing about that!

Hazbeen just loves being able to claim that they've "pulled something off without anyone knowing". He gleefully boasted in his ghastly book about 'pulling a fast one' over the media regarding the details of Archie's birth; for some reason he seemed to view that as a big achievement! 🙄

Oh get over yourself

Kinsey Schofield was discussing this with someone, I’ve forgotten who, and they seemed to think you have to have been living in California (or maybe got married in California and largely resident) so they think 2030 is the year.

Yes - Camilla probably had her plan for Gin, takeaway and Wimbledon with her friends at Ray Mill House (where she spends quite a few of her weekends by all accounts) - but then found herself having to stay at Highgrove to make chit chat with HAM and sidestep Meghan trying to persuade them to stock runny jam and flower sprinkles in the Highgrove gift shop.

😂

I bet she stared Meghan down like Catherine did at the walkabout before The Queen’s funeral.
Meghan’s knees would have been knocking.
Camilla was always going to be there to support the King and act as a witness. H&M would be lucky if there wasn’t some flunky or equerry also present.

How polite of you 🫨

No, I won't 'get over myself'. It's unpleasant to talk of little children like this on a parenting forum.

Purina?

There is nothing offensive about it. If you have read this and the other threads Harry and Meghan have been shortened to HaM, ergo their children are HaMlets. Seek to be offended elsewhere.

Look there is a history here of this. Louis referred to as the naughty one and having issues blah blah. I'm not saying it's right but it happens and yes on a parenting forum. They allow these things to stand.

Don't be silly, their parents are known as Ham on this thread, so their kids are known as hamlets - it's just a cute little nickname 🤷

I hope she had her feet up, having a smoke and a well earned gin - and continued watching Wimbledon when they arrived and shushed them regularly.

Yes, I'm genuinely baffled as to how this term can possibly be considered offensive. How is it any worse than "niblings," for example?

Perhaps it's Shakespeare plays which are triggering for this person? Or a small cigars? Rest assured, neither of these is being referenced here.

I am not talking about hamlets. Have never seen that before but it's quite funny! It's about saying 'shudder' if they turn out to be like their parents, that's not very nice is it

No problem with hamlets as I have just said.

My DCs have a funny nickname connected to our surname, they and I like it!

Well I’m properly confused now.

They very likely submitted for every category in the hope something would stick. Basic marketing approach. But seems they were only shortlisted in this category.

Industry awards are a pile of shit - it’s all backscratching and swilling money around an industry sector where everyone has an agenda and all needs are generally met.
