Hazza and Megs "surprised" by King's letter.

Surprised. They're the only ones.

What?

1. Harry isn’t solely responsible for the interim payment of 9.5 million. It is split between the 7 claimants who brought the case.

2. They, as a group, have a legal costs insurance policy of about £16 million. Their insurance pays. The guesstimate of the total being up to £35 million means the 7 of them will split £19 million between them. If that’s what the judgement ends up being, but it’s probably going to be more. Still split between 7 though.

Bower says the Colombian trip was funded by the Soros Foundation in his most recent book and that’s not been challenged.

The Colombian politician who facilitated it all was hoping for a substantial donation from Archewell (which she didn’t get) so the Colombian government were hardly going to pay for it themselves. It came to millions what with the security and expensive hotels and everything.

What mind set is that?

Just did a quick search, and seems the claim
was made by Tom Bower in his latest book about the Sussexes, and that Soros runs something called the “Open Society Foundation”, that AI tells me is a “global network of grant making organisations founded by billionaire philanthropist George Soros”. The Sussexes went to Colombia to talk about their pet peeve of children and online usage/harms/censorship, which is something that would be in the wheelhouse of Open Society, I would have thought. The Sussexes have been interested in this area of campaigning since they left the royal family and Harry started working with the Aspen Institute. I guess the Sussexes are well within their rights to sue anyone making false claims, particularly in the published book of a very thorough investigative reporter and barrister, that would have been checked by the publisher’s legal department.

Edit. Also, that’s a very ageist comment about Soros.

Again, any actual evidence that Soros has ever given these two any money? Guesses aren't evidence.

BP explained in the very first sentence why they were sending the letter to over 100 government and officials - it was because they already have had numerous enquiries as to how H&M should be facilitated with public time, money, resources, security and courtesies….so a blanket guidance was issued to say “In short…none”

There were obviously a lot of activities by H&M to various organisations already that required them to check their demands with BP.

Also sad that they couldn’t shut up on PG first day at Eton - MM posted an As Ever photo - first on over a month - not even with a product so not necessary as well as PH posting his Rory McGrath lookalike photo from Tower Studios as well as sending their friends (Liam)!out to bat with the media on their behalf with their rebuttal to the letter.

And that is the million dollar question!

I think most of us guessed they would do something on George’s first day but I am pretty sure the sensible W and C will shrug it off .

I never asserted that there is evidence. I said, “wasn’t there was a rumour?” and then told you where the rumour came from (the Bower book). I really don’t know why you are responding with so much hostility, and I don’t really have anything else to add to my above post. You have a very nice day.

With a big legal bill in the pipeline they probably won't be able to afford it.
H will be looking to KC to bail him out.

I reckon they came back because MM wants to stay mostly in Cali being a duchess but she’s sick of Harry full time & needs a break with him
out of her hair.

Same applies to H but he wants a base with the kids and England.

They both thought H’s family would be weeping with relief to see them which shows you how nuts they are.

Plus the UK population getting on their knees and thanking them for their service! 😂

What would you accept as 'evidence' of this if a claim in someone's book, not disputed by those involved, isn't enough? Screenshots of bank transfers?

On the basis of past behaviour where they're accepted favours from a range of people - borrowing Tyler Perry's house and staff, taking holidays at Elton John's house, using private jets supplied by friends - and their willingness to ask for money from people like Elton (widely reported) then I think the question to ask is: why you think they wouldn't accept funding from Soros to take a foreign trip?

This is how I feel. IF they had to say something, much better to be appreciative of the clarity of the statement, express delight to be home, looking forward to new projects, and catching up with family and friends privately.

And that’s where they have gone wrong from day one. They can’t do grace, gratitude, positivity, appreciation, wisdom, decorum, dignity, modesty….their only currency is negatively, victimhood, bitterness, paranoia, confrontation and conflict with so many people and institutions public and private.

No one wants to go near that hot mess.

This ⬆️

I think you will find their names are Harry and Meghan. I think it is disrespectful to call people by silly nicknames when you don’t know them, whoever they are. I would not like being called by a nickname by someone who doesn’t even know me. It feels as though you are putting them down.

This sums them up perfectly.

Actual facts, not suppositions.

I just looked up Bower's book. He doesn't even get the name of the foundation Soros set up correctly. He calls it "Open Society", when its actual name is the "Open Society Foundation". If you read carefully, he doesn't say that Soros gave any money to Harry and Meghan but that the Open Society [Foundation] gave money to Colombia and opposition politicians had claimed that the Colombian government was using some of the money provided by "Soros" (as if Soros himself sits there doling money out) to fund Harry and Meghan's trip. Bowers has seen no evidence for any of this himself and his references appear to be from an article written by an opposition politician. But the Open Society [Foundation] doesn't give money to governments for the general budget, it gives money for specific projects, e.g. reconstruction after an earthquake. If the Colombian government did siphon off some money that the Open Society [Foundation] had given for other projects and used it for Harry and Meghan's trip, then that's on the Colombian government, not the Open Society [Foundation], Soros or Harry and Meghan.

It's a big step from allegations against the Colombian government by opposition politicians to "Harry and Meghan are being funded by shady billioinaires with nefarious ulterior motives". But Bowers can (just about) get away with it because he has cited a reference (an opposition politician with her own ulterior motives against the government).

Bowers also claims that the Colombian politician who invited them even asked them to match Soros's (i.e. the OSF's) donation of $400 million! This whole story is more a case of Harry and Meghan being exploited by politicians in a country with politicial problems than anything deeply dubious. Of course King Charles is going to want to make it very well known that they do not represent the royal family in any way!

They are now saying they want to be known as "PUBLIC FIGURES" not private citizens. One couldn't make this shit up...

If they really did think that, they really are clutching at straws
.I think it just boils down to Prince Harry doesn't know how to live a life without his status and privilege they really need to find another way to live, i know he is the kings son but maybe should take a look at how Zara Tindell and Peter Phillips manage their lives.

Actually, HAM did a great job of exploiting Columbia. The country dropped millions on their visit and got nothing in return.

Would being a public figure put them in a more precarious position, in terms of security than private?

What even do they mean by “public figure”. It just sounds like more of their semantic field of word salad grandiosity to me 🤷‍♀️

The want privacy but not be known as private citizens, they want to be Royal but hate "the institution " and resigned, they don't want press intrusion but tell the press what they're up to when it suits them . I do wonder what's the point in them being here, if he is planning a documentary about Diana what more is there to say, he was a child when she died, it'll all be about him.

Why did they go to Colombia?
