PR disasters thread 24

[BigWillyLittleTodger]

What more summer shenanigans await us from the Montecito duo?

I meant balanced between those who tend to prefer different parts of the royal family. Whilst there are many republicans here I wouldn't expect a board about the Royal Family to be a particularly good representation of republicanism. In the same way a board about veganism wouldn't be expected to reflect the views of meat eaters very well.

There's an article in the Daily Express now, with details of the meeting and Harry being happy to show his children "what it's like to be part of the monarchy".

• Archie and Lilibet aren't part of the monarchy, neither are H&M, their choice.
• why is he speaking to the Daily Express?

I suspect this is just the start of the drip drip drip of stories about the meeting that was supposed to be absolutely private with no details revealed. Predictable!

I’m a republican who has been here for years, as many of the others will confirm.

I find the board on the whole very informative, entertaining and insightful, barring the pigeon-dancing from paid PR sent forth from certain former royals who just can’t seem to let go.

You think these points about Andrew haven’t been made dozens if not hundreds of times on the all the Andrew threads on the Royal Family board?

Because they have. Often by me and others who are on these threads.

I don’t like Harry’s fake knighthood either.

He just can't keep his gob shut can he?

There was a line in the (ludicrous) DM article that they have a house in Portugal so the dcs ‘will be close to the royal side if they want to participate’. It’s not remotely an option!

He has absolutely no respect for anyone's privacy.

Oh dear, this rather puts the mockers on the squad’s little narrative about HAM wanting it secret and private.

Imagine my surprise 🙄

Is he having another breakdown?

I don't get it. They left, then there was all the awful stuff about the RF being toxic and how racist they were and it made them both ill. Now they want their children to be part of it? So weird.

He is inappropriate.

I've believed for a long time that the pair of them have such a high, over inflated opinion of themselves that they truly believe the everyday rules of society just don't apply to them! For their own sake, they need to get out of that bubble!

The top photo is exactly the reason why I don't believe in the 'frequent video-calls with the King'.

IIRC it was the second time he went - 2025? Somebody had obviously made the expectations clear. I think he bought one of the basic tables (not platinum, gold or silver)

He received an award in 2024

What they expected (from 2012)

What they got 11 years later

Shocked I am . Shocked .

They learned all about being part of a monarchy in 47 minutes? (which included tea/glass of squash and a cake) ..... 😂

Telling them what it means to be in the line of succession?
Sod all as far as they're concerned - they'll never come close to it.
Although perhaps Meghan could ask to borrow a particular tiara for Lilly to augment her Disney Elsa dress and Archie can have a go at waving the Sword of State about in his Hercules get-up...

Yes there would definitely have been a "back of the head" shot of them talking to Charles ....

I expect we might soon get Instagram shots of them watching the Coronation to "learn" about their heritage.

TBH I feel sorry for the kids being used as accessories in HAMs desperate attempts to get their status back.

No it isn't unbalanced - and this is what the MN community notes should say.

This is a sub topic, sub thread. It just isn't possible to discuss and keep up with everything on one thread.

The board is the RF- if you want to talk about how TLQ misused her position (and I do agree) then start a thread about that.

Whataboutery achieves nothing other than to make the thread less readable which is possibly the intention

.

Surely they are ruining it for themselves? KC now has the perfect excuse not to have them all over for a future visit

I agree it is meaningless to 2 children living in California and attending American schools.

Princess Anne was second in LoS for 8 years and is now down to 18th.

For Harry the only place to go is down....

Exactly. This isn’t the “Harry and Meghan vs His family” board.

Illl never understand people thinking that since Harry and Meghan struck out his family it makes them somehow equal and that they should be held up in comparison to one another.

@lundethat is really interesting and makes a LOT more sense as to why he was nominated.

May I ask where you got that info, not that I don’t believe you, but would be interested in reading more.
