Ham pr disaster thread 35! …Charles has played a blinder!

[jeffgoldblum]

A continuation of the shenanigans of our favourite non working royals! 😁

Would have been fun though

I don't think he has ever read anything tbh

It's very clear from HAM that they fully intended to merch off the HIHO idea. The fact they are clapping back this way is very telling

Agreed. They really don’t see how transparent they are and that they have been rumbled by the palace without much difficulty 😎

Joking aside, what do we think they will do now? Stay in UK? How will they "earn a living " ?

I think Princess Anne’s genuine equestrian talent probably did a lot to make her. Having something she was good at (albeit requiring considerable financial input to sustain) meant she was respected in her own right for her talent in that area amongst her peers. It also linked to general estate management which stood her in good stead with her estates providing her with an interest, income, privacy and a retreat from Royal life. And that in turn would have been a good example to her children.

Ok but I will add a warning as i don’t want to offend anyone .

I don't know how they will make money but I've got a strong feeling they won't settle in the UK. The problem is ~ where else could they go? I don't think the Australians would put up with them for 5 minutes, they didn't seem to like Canada and they've burnt so many bridges in the USA. My best guess is they may try Portugal but I don't think they will stay.

They seem so restless, lurching from one thing to another, never achieving anything. I don't think they will ever find what they're looking for . . .

Also, she never complained about her lot as she went down in the LoS from actually being the Spare.
She's managed to forge her own life without all that bloody whinging Harry is wedded to.

No idea. It's tricky when you're in your 40s and have a bit of a reputation.

I don't care, as long as it's a long way away from me.

Like any other wasp nest.

Well….the thing is …that statement doesn’t just apply to the U.K. does it? …..it also signifies the same to any commonwealth country and those who have Charles as HOS too doesn’t it! , so I imagine they will need to travel further afield.

Our local (upmarket) bakery is looking for staff .

For you @RecoIIectionsMayVary .
NB I appreciate that some posters don’t like these blinds and that’s ok . They are of course rumours .

Richard Kay's essay on "the letter".

Too tiring. Long hours. Too much standing up. Not enough acknowledgement of Royal Status.

Yes, their options are quite limited! I would love to have a crystal ball and see where they are in 5, 10, 15 years time !!!!!

So we now have confirmation that Harry doesn't understand how the monarchy works. He expects to be consulted in advance of statements as if he is an equal stakeholder. The palace is making it clear that he isn't, that they will set parameters and that he can't expect to be treated as a working royal when he isn't.

I think it was a very unwise clapback from Team Sussex.

Also not surprising that Harry once again links everything back to security. He is the only one obsessed with RAVEC, everyone else is getting on with business a usual.

They haven't been backed into a corner, they gambled and lost, they tried to force the King's hand by coming back to the country they were keen to leave and have done little but slag off for 6 years. They seem to want the half in, half out arrangement they demanded in 2020 but the late Queen refused it and now they have burned their bridges and no-one knows if Harry would be able to return to the US because of visa condition.

I asked mylovely, because despite knowing that it is of course gossip/rumours , posters had asked and not everyone has the access, I also think it’s unkind not to share info and posters will then feel left out of the loop , point complaints to me 💐

I think that’s why the timing of the statement. KC making his views on their security situation crystal clear ahead of those decisions.

Yes but I suspect that has a lot to do with having success built on her own efforts and talent. Not just relying on her association with the RF (though I am sure she recognises that for the opportunity it gave her to develop those talents).

And having to be nice to the plebs and other staff

The poses she struck in the photos spoke volumes.

If only Harry had been the character carefully constructed by the palace PRs and fed to a gullible public (us!), he would have seen the reality and run a mile.

CARBS?! 😱
