PR disasters thread 31

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

Where? Sorry had a look online and couldn’t find anything 😃

His channel the Royalist.

DW covering it.

I think you are vastly overestimating Harry’s worth.
Diana got £17 million in her divorce -a year later she was dead but hadn’t changed her will after she got the settlement. The £17 million was reduced to £10 million after IHT.
That was split between them.
If £5 million was invested until March 2020 without drawing anything from it and assuming a mid range 7% annual return (neither ‘safe’ or ‘reckless’) remembering we had a bank crash in 2009(? Or was it 8?) it would be worth £20.4 million by 2020. So not several tens of millions.
The Queen Mothers trust had quite a few beneficiaries -her estate was mainly made up of jewellry &a Monet -so the capital she had put in wasn’t huge -she famously had an overdraft which was paid off by her daughter every year,

He will (IMHO) have been worth maybe £30 million. Nothing really in the circles he rubbed shoulders in, but because he had never had to (or would have had to) worry about a home, or bills (his dad paid everything from the Duchy of Cornwall) and he got an allowance why would he worry what he was actually worth? The pot was always there and he thought it always would be,
If he and his wife had been more amenable and less jealous they would have been living in apartment 1 in KP with a nice place in the country for weekends. All bills, staff, travel, clothes for work, school fees for children would have been paid by duchy of Cornwall then Lancaster, HIS money would have paid for cars, holidays etc - but he would still likely have got an allowance for ‘spends’.
He never eve4 anticipated or had been brought up to worry about money.
Just like he wasn’t bothered by living in Nottingham Cottage.
It wasn’t till he met Meghan who was quite happy to tell him how hard done by he was that things went Pete Tong.
They had to get a large mortgage on Montecito house so one can only assume the same would be applied to his house here, I very much doubt he’s got £14million available to buy a house outright - the Montecito years have been hellishly expensive and running that house,staff, travel, security, taxes on earnings and and and will have sucked dry anything he got from ‘Spare’ and whatever Netflix/Spotify actually paid them for the (very little) output.

He’s not ‘skint’ by normal standards but by Meghans expectations he’s dirt poor.

here 24 hours and already total chaos

They threatened to sue over the allegation Harry punched Andrew Windsor. Never came to anything.

Thank you 🙏

Hope he does sue. Another circus, another loss and he'll bugger off somewhere else

Go Tom !

Has Harry paid the £9.5 million first instalment that he owes ANL with his other co-claimants yet?

It’s interesting that all contributors are saying that the King absolutely was blindsided and Project Thaw is a fantasy. It seems BP is not thrilled with their return but is powerless to stop it.

This is true, but holding tea parties at Highgrove is sending mixed messages.

Easy now -it’s not cut off till 4pm tomorrow. ,!!
It will HAVE to be paid by then ,
Remember, they are all equally liable for some or all of the initial £9.5 million.

HAM just have to create drama and let the paps know where to go ....

They LOVE a big private jet and a security motorcade to show everyone they have arrived and that they are very, very important 🙄🙄🙄

As long as they paid for it themselves

Even you give as a "low" estimate that Harry could have been worth £30 million - which is not a small sum of money and enough to do all those things! I suspect he has people looking after his money who can get more than 7% a year in the most tax efficient way, and the market has been making nearer 20% and more in the past few years. He also has about half of Diana's jewellery collection as well as the valuables he received from the Queen Mum, which he can use, e.g. as collateral for a mortgage. Add in what they get from his and Meg's assorted activities, and of course they can pay for the kids' schools, the house in the US, a house in the UK, etc. with no need to ask dad for anything.

Yes, the green ink fountain poisin pen ' ' disgusted of ' :)

They can pay for their own security too, if they think they need it. They dont, M just wants to look important. No decent career close protection officer is going to work for them. Imagine how your mates would tease you!

The three cars is so over the top and unnecessary. They managed fine without that in July...it is just attention seeking behaviour. I've followed along with all these threads but am getting bored of them now.

All a bit Lego channelling for me.

Made me think of

I didn't realize that 'vexatious' litigant' was a career choice! Too bad they don't seem to be very good at it.

Presumably they brought a fair bit of luggage for the 4 of them, oh and haven't the dogs come as well? Perhaps 'security' is just the 3 drivers.

That’s very interesting from Paula Froelich about the alleged role of Liam McGuire, the HaMs’ Global Chief of Thunderbirds International Bases & Crap PR, and his alleged bullying behaviour.

Sounds like they’ll all be very happy in the Cotswolds together, blending in seamlessly.

😂🙌🏻 Blimey that was a thread and a half wasn’t it?

I agree with you. They have blacked out windows on a 3 vehicle cavalcade and think it’s how to arrive at their destination incognito?

How I wish we still had the laugh emoji.

They probably did have two or three cars in July but it wasn’t picked up that it was them.
I live near a historic building which is often used for filming locations. We never get to see who is acting in the productions as they have cavalcades of people carriers with blacked out windows ferrying them from the field where all the trailers for make up, costumes and support are parked into the main courtyard of the building. Still, I will be looking if I see a convoy like that passing through Tetbury.

Side issue - do they rent all these cars to have them available on arrival or have they already bought a garage full of high end SUVs? They never seem to want to drive themselves, preferring chauffeurs/securiity to do it. Yet I have seen the King driving himself (security in following car), William likes to drive as do other members of the family.
Maybe the RF never gave Meghan her driving license back. 🙄
