Ham pr disasters 36! The clap backs continue!

A continuation of our continuing discussion of our favourite private citizens! 😁

If Harry really cares about Invictus he may be better offering to step away from it and let them find a less controversial patron.

Hopefully one benefit of this noise around Invictus is that someone in the mainstream media will start looking into the finance story a bit more closely.

Links that have been on previous threads (putting here for anyone interested but also so that I can find them again)

Paula Froelich Invictus Games funding

So accurate

The funding for Invictus is "quietly disappearing", as is its reputation as a good, solid cause. The costs involved in staging Invictus, coupled with the fact that the athletes have to pay their own way, is causing raised eyebrows outside the MN RF forum.

At this point I would not be surprised if Invictus 2027 gets cancelled.

On that note, when is the Well Child thing being held? Has that been postponed/ cancelled?

H&M just dont have enough to do in the afternoon, as my gdm would say.

A dedicated stamp collector would be more interesting ( i mean it) than sitting next to that pair, who do not ask what they could do for their country, and only care what their country could do for them.

They dont need security. Do they go anywhere? I doubt they have a mantle shelf groaning with the weight of invites. Just jump in the muddy old volvo and you wont get a second look. Oh, wait...

I thought A listers were established movie stars, the silver screen, not by virtue of birth or marriage. And as far as i am aware, classes tend to stick together, inviting good old Bunty from school whether he run the bank or lives wild on daddys moorland. They can trust Bunty. Hes one of them.

Has Birmingham sorted out its bin strike yet?

Why thank you <bows> or should that be an elaborate curtsey?

What’s happened to Archewell ?

They could actually change their names. They wouldn’t be the first people to use Prince or Princess as a given name.

😂😂😂 the MI6 kidnapping

The global chief of globalness James Holt left, it was converted into a different financial vehicle within a ‘philanthropies’ envelope, and never heard of again.

Holt is back in England spending more time with the Liberal Democrats.

Quite! It would be MI5

Yes! 🙌

I think exile to St Helene, à la Napoleon Bonapart

Welcome back Austen , I hope William and Anne held the British end up? ❤️

Aggghhhh - their hot headedness is infuriating. If you are one of their PR team it must be like a lawyer having a client and advising them not to tank their case by getting on the stand but them insisting on it.

Ideal response to the King's letter: We appreciate King Charles' clarification and support during this transition back to the UK and are looking forward to working with our charities and other projects in the near future.

Their angry response: We aren't just private citizens we are public figures who are totally shocked that the King was rude enough to send a letter like this without letting us edit it first.

Ideal response to the Ugandan leader tweet: We are saddened that the Ugandan veterans will no longer be able to be part of the Invictus family. We are open to discussing their return at any time.

Their angry response: It's all the King's fault for sending that stupid letter.

Everyone knows that General Muhoozi Kainerugaba is a crazy loon. He's previously used Twitter to threaten to invade Kenya, called for a dead or alive manhunt for a political rival and threatened to take Jay-Z to the UN if he didn't hand Beyonce over to him for a wife.

Working my way through the last 2 threads, very interesting and somewhat satisfying developments. I am not sure I fully follow the whole Uganda 'thing'. What exactly is being implied here? What is it that Harry did, that Uganda had an issue with and why?

And why is his attempt to cos play with the British Army so dodgy? What would an honorary role entail and how could he make money off the back of that?

🤣
he’s not a western cowboy, he’s never seen the grass grow!
he hassles Cotswolds and nearby because he was born so grifty !
dimbulb cowboy, lookout here he comes ….dimbulb cowboy out to get him some , if you don’t want him to hassel you for security, you had better run ….because the dimbulb cowboy needs another mark for his loved one!

And why is his attempt to cos play with the British Army so dodgy? What would an honorary role entail and how could he make money off the back of that?

Think carefully about why a country with experience of coup d’état would question getting involved with someone who is trying to get the army to recognise him rather than the head of state….

Can you c&p the best bits at all?

At this rate? , I’m already poised for the next one!!! 😁

A nice and informative poster , I completely disagreed then and kept that under my cheese hat because many people believed.

Uganda joined Invictus two months ago, so would be sending their first team to the games in Birmingham next year.

Today the son of the Ugandan president who is also head of their armed forces announced on Twitter that Uganda had decided to withdraw from Invictus because he didn't want to do anything that "construed as being opposed to His Majesty King Charles III of the United Kingdom, whom we deeply revere."

In retaliation Harry's team has briefed the press that

"Intended or unintended, this is clearly a consequence of the Lord Chamberlain's guidance regarding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex that was rushed out without consultation on Monday,"

Whereas in reality - the letter didn't make any reference to Invictus at all - it would take a loon to make a leap from that to believing that the King was opposed to Invictus.

And the Uganda guy is an absolute loon. See the Beyonce issue in my post above.

But Harry now gets to try to play the victim and blame it on his Dad.

Same old same old.

Well not if Charles pulls another Andrew move!
