Dear God what fresh hell is this!

A new As Ever product launch - and what do we think the product is?
(I know what it looks like! 😵)

Isn't that a bit thin and runny for spread?

I couldn't agree more - and remember it's not just the Royal Family, and most recently the Judiciary, who've been roundly insulted. It's also the people of the UK, branded racists to the whole world by this disgusting, conniving pair. Tea, scones and reconciliation? Let's have an apology first.

According to the intellectual giants that are HaM, the UK is not just racist, but its people are lacking in resilience and eat meat, potatoes and cream sauces.

But oh no, they’d never stereotype (archetype?) a nation, a people, a group. They won a Ripple of Hope Award! They’re humanitarians!

What next, the French wear stripey tops and smell of garlic? Australians all say ‘G’day’? Oh hang on, Harry actually does do that Australian thing … send the man another Kennedy Ripple of Hypocrisy award.

I think if I was Charles or William I would do as a PP suggested: wrap up taking away the titles in a "modernising the Royal Family & giving the British public better value for money" wrapper.

So the WRF slimmed down, titles removed, including from Beatrice and Eugenie (2 birds with one stone, ha ha!), open more properties to the public, with proceeds going to charity, keep all the pomp and ceremony and soft diplomacy, and keep "showing up and doing good" - which is absolutely what the WRF have been doing in recent years.

That would deal with AMW's daughters, HAM and the Hamlets and would be great PR. Alas I don't think Charles has the guts to do it but William might.

They are still playing a blinder, with no clap backs, grey rock, other than short, factual statements. They know how to play the long game, good for them.

I completely agree with this - just give Lord and Lady titles to children of most Princes and Princesses (would also remove the anomaly that at the moment Charlotte's hypothetical children will not be titled but Louis's will). Prince and Princess only for children of the monarch or the direct line. Also stop inheritable royal dukedom titles.

But I imagine that may be waiting until after the time of the present Dukes of Kent and Gloucester - it would be very harsh to strip them of their titles along with B, E, A and L - the Duke of Kent is mentioned four times in the court circular this month, and he is now 90!

People like that don't apologise. They weasel, manipulate, blame others but are always right

Perhaps H visualises the HAMlets being working royals as appearing on balconies, in grand carriages and on red carpets with lots of waving and flashbulbs? Maybe he's forgetting the duty and service bits and just seeing celebrity status.

That's it and endless cash. It's what HAM want now.

Choux · Yesterday 09:31

But surely if the Duke of Kent is being mentioned in the court circular as a working royal, he would keep his title in any streamlining of titles for non working royals.

When the Duke inevitably dies, his title will pass on to his son who is a non working royal and I don’t think he is or will be HRH. If KC or POW want to keep royal dukedoms for the WRF but make them non hereditary the time to make changes is before they pass to the next generation.

I have an awful feeling that the first time we see A and L’s faces will be in relation to the 30th anniversary of their grandmother’s death next year.

Harry and Meghan are probably flogging a Diana documentary around all the streamers as we speak, making A&L -Diana grand kids ‘her legacy’ part of the deal so won’t want to show their faces until then.

Justdancevance · Yesterday 09:38

I think A&L in a documentary on the eve of Diana’s death. I think they will show their faces as ‘it’s too important not to’ or some such waffle

What does the poly market say about it?

The launch of the Blackberry spread on her IG has only had about 150 shares since it launched. Her As ever IG very rarely gets much activity.

Meanwhile, Henry Cavill talking about his disappointing Sunday brisket BBQ (including photos and descriptions of how he prepared everything) has gotten over 2M likes in 2 days.

I've said this from the start - from 2020 on (if she genuinely did want to launch a lifestyle brand and this wasn't just a hail Mary, do something move) she should have been releasing little clips of her cooking, baking, gardening etc. Showing her successes, mistakes, learning. Just like Cavill and Jennifer Garner with her pretend cooking show. It would have shown her bona fides and established herself. As ever might be doing gangbusters by now.

(If Cavill launches a BBQ range I guarantee it would sell out in seconds).

Ooh Henry Cavill plus bbq beef brisket sounds delicious 🤤.

You are right about a frequent and honest IG feed to build a connection with her audience being the way to go but she has trapped herself with her own words. You can’t say you want privacy and then be posting every few days about what you made for dinner last night and how it didn’t turn out quite right. And being a titled person so superior to others she doesn’t even have a surname means she won’t want to reference anything other than perfection in her stories and posts.

My punt is they muscle in on the Christmas Sandringham walk…..if they are in Balmoral this summer (IG photo) and back for WellChild at BP….H&M will be targeting Christmas, Trooping, Ascot etc -

I’ve been lurking on these threads forever - delurked for sconegate - and erudite comment incoming.

I wish HaMs would fuck off! The tedious, word salad spewing self-important no-marks. Go away. Stop trying to insert yourselves where you’re not wanted.

Ohh I am now following Henry too, thanks for the heads up.
