I was PinkHairbrushClub. We’ll see how being Ordinary pans out for me. Maybe I’ll suddenly get all demanding and want security!

Great pink/ginger! 👍, now I only need to remember who quibblingginger is and I will be golden!

Didn't Uganda only recently sign up for Ingriftus ?

Sounds familiar? But honestly can’t remember now! , the coming and goings of invictus has left me nonplussed.

Times article about Uganda

Reading this, I think this isn't really about Invictus for the Ugandans but it's still funny all the same.

Sorry to interject but did they really?!

“This prompted a jaw-dropping briefing to the Telegraph yesterday, which read: 'The duke is understood to have taken particular issue with the notion that the couple were to be treated as private citizens. If that were the case, it was claimed, such formal guidance would not be required.
'The Sussexes prefer the term "public figures", and would have liked an acknowledgement that, on a personal level, they remained members of the Royal Family, despite no longer receiving public funding.'

All hail to our Jeff Flowers and at least I got that in before this one fills up too!!

Interesting news about Uganda/Invictus, and to my mind we could do with a lot more doing the same. I don't share their loyalty to Charles, but separating the event from H&Ms' ugly behaviour and grifting would surely be no bad thing

Hello!
I'm new around these parts and this may not be the place to say but I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else so sorry if it offends or is inappropriate..but...
If I understand it correctly HAM are saying they want to be public figures.
William and Catherine are remaining tight-lipped about the whole thing.
HAM have mugged off KC enought for him to send 'the letter'.
So, surely now is the time for W & C to come out guns blazing. The summer is over, the kids are back at school, they now need to be mopping up all the hospital, charity, whatever visits in grand style with lots of publicity so there is just nowhere where second-rates HAM will be wanted as who wants to court bad publicity or no publicity for their cause?
Like I said, apologies if this is not the place ....

I’m surprised puzzled , I won’t deny it ! , no idea that Uganda were close or fond of the U.K. or our monarchy, I can’t help but think another reason must be behind this! 🤷‍♀️

Why does the king have to publicly acknowledge that members of his family are, indeed, members
of his family 🤔

It'll be bad news for H if other countries follow suit

It is not uncommon for charities to reach a point where the founder is a burden not an asset. My understanding was Invinctus were recognising they were at this point. Getting rid can be difficult though.

Most likely there is more to it, Jeff, considering they only joined Invictus on July 7 and would already have known the dreadful duo's MO by then

Still think we need others to do the same though, and it's not as if there are no other disabled games they could join

To be fair the head of the Ugandan military has also demanded Jay Z hand Beyoncé to him to marry so possibly another loose cannon son.

They love them and have done for decades. So much so that the late Idi Ameen styled himself as the King of Scotland, sent love letters to HMLQ and during some difficult times in the UK said he would be sending her toilet roll due to the shortages.

Perhaps Harry can't remember?
Drugs are a curse.

It's a bit reminiscent of the old joke:

Pompous Private Citizen: "Do you know who I am?"
Baffled Bystander: "No, but if you ask Matron over there, she'll be able to tell you"

😂 - on a serious note though PH will now demand KC & BP step in & clarify before the whole thing collapses. They have all the audacity. Betting an official HAM demand letter is sent to BP & released to thr media.
What japes!

True, my only concern is that the Sussex’s and their more extreme fans will use this as a stick to beat the U.K. and rf with and cite it as proof of their victimisation! 🙄
