PR disasters thread 31

[BigWillyLittleTodger]

Have the eagles landed yet? Another thread to discuss yet more Sussex shenanigans!

I’m not taking Tom Sykes’ tips too seriously as a few days ago he had me convinced the school was Beaudesert.

And whilst the guessing game is entertaining I don’t really care where they go to school, I doubt any of us here does. A and L could live in perfect anonymity if their parents chose it for them.

I agree. I don't believe KC is involved in a Project Thaw ( if indeed it really exists in any meaningful way )

I was expanding on what @PigglyWigglyOhYeah said, she said he was a kind man, I said he was, but a shocking judge of character. An example would be trying to bring AMW back into public life by attending church with them. I think this was kind but ill judged.

I think it was kind of him to meet with Harry and Meghan Markle, assuming the meeting was cordial, which reports suggest it was.

He created the Prince’s Trust which has done so much for disadvantaged young people, and he’s taken a great personal interest in their progress.

Those are examples I can think of that make me think he is at heart kindly. Could be wrong.

Surely she’s back in time for panto season?

A week ago the gossip was that the Montecito mansion was already on the market... 😆 best to take it all with more than a pinch of salt, here on Salty Isle!

Are we not Salt and Pepper Isle now?

I totally agree with you

I can remember, in the run up to William & Kate's wedding, royal fashion commentators announcing that Kate's dress would either be modern or traditional and she would either wear her hair up or down!

None of us know the details of the Sussexes move and, although I confess to being extremely curious about it all, I have seen so much information being presented as fact but which is contrary to other information, also being presented as fact, that I think we all need to bide our time and the truth will eventually reveal itself

Edited to delete post meant for another thread.

Exit one stout party .

What school is that?

Surely that's what the nannies are for?

Yes, of course. Silly me! Where I come from it's always mummies who do it . . . .

It’s a daddy who has always done in it this house. Make the patriarchy sew, I say.

Charles doesn't even need to help them financially with anything. They can afford to pay for the kids' school fees, the move from the US, the house in the US, the house in the UK themselves. The very substantial chunk of money Harry inherited from his mother 30 years ago was invested for him and is probably worth several tens of millions now. Then there's what he apparently inherited from the Queen Mum. Having to pay ANL's lawyers will make him wince slightly (just because it's such a large amount), but he will still have plenty left over.

I agree Charles isn't a pushover, and that's what's infuriated Harry.

The HAMs have threatened to sue Tom Sykes.

Whatever with this nonsense cavalcade??? however, quick to point out not taxpayer funded security

Because of his blog post today?

For anyone who watches Palace Confidential on YouTube, Rebecca English on today's episode is very clear that the BP press office people have told her that the King definitely did not know that the Sussexes were coming back until Sunday.
It's about 7 minutes in

The first 5 minutes or so are good in describing how the Sussex briefings have gone over the past week.

I haven't watched the rest of the episode yet, but thought people might be interested in those bits.

If they can afford to buy another mansion they don't need Elton to pay their court costs.

Source please?

I thought H had said the time for Courtroom dramas was over.

by the by just to say how very good the quality of towels was from John Lewis 18 years ago. I have my niece staying and have sorted out some clean towels for her. They still have DS's name on name tapes on them. Were I a domestic goddess I probably would have removed them , (or indeed bought new towels )
😊

Thanks for the clip @bluegreygreen - I shall give that a watch with my coffee tomorrow morning.

Tom Sykes himself.

Are they going to make this their occupation instead of looking for a proper job?

He says they can’t sue him because the Daily Beast is a US publication.

I was about to say, gives them something to do 🤣

Gotta fill those long winter Cotswolds days somehow 🤷🏻‍♀️
