Ham pr disasters 36! The clap backs continue!

[jeffgoldblum]

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

Afternoon, Sammy and welcome! I'm sure you're just as beautiful as the rest of us! 😉

We can but hope that other countries take the same stand as Uganda. It's been disgraceful how H & M have disrupted the games from the get-go with their antics. The veterans deserve a better patron.

Thank you Jeff, struggling to keep up <pants>.

He won’t stop Princing around will he?

Doesn’t look like it I’m afraid dont , take a seat, catch your breath! , you will need your strength.😁

Thank you for these threads @jeffgoldblum 👋

Although it's the main one the Paralympics aren't the only alternative, MrsLF, but you're spot on as usual about the pointlessness of lashing out millions on something that's become completely hijacked by the H&M show

That Harry was indulged in setting it up is well seen - they were probably just relieved to see him doing anything positive - it most of its value's gone now and the time for a gentle close seems ripe

They do. Such a great idea, such fantastic potential, co-opted by two greedy people who made it all about them. Shameless.
The turning point for me was Meghan leading the veterans' march, in floppy shorts and sliders.

It was given to Harry in good faith. He could have done so much good. It's just an ego trip now.

I don't normally read the royal family threads but these have become my guilty secret. Sitting in the dentist's waiting room earlier I was struggling to contain my laughter and getting funny looks. So time to delurk and say how entertaining you all are👋

Well quite, and anyway I would have thought that on a personal level (as opposed to a genetic one) they are very much not members of the royal family.

When HLMTQ made her statement that they remained much loved members of the family they had yet to comprehensively trash the institution and betray the privacy of other family members. I think it’s pretty clear that those who were targeted don’t consider them part of their family at all and may never change that position.

If he had any respect for the charity, he would step down but he won't. He couldn't care less about the charity. It's about him and his grubby wife. Nobody else matters

The Aussie Omid Scobie is claiming that Harry's spoken to Pa on the phone. She broke the story about them moving back to the UK because she's in the WA group and on MM's speed dial.

He doesn't have that level of self awareness, and she's too determined to have the spotlight. A dignified withdrawal would be appropriate, but that's asking too much of them.

De-lurking
I loved the ‘nonsense’ element but I don’t know that Charles would be wanting to look like he didn’t support the ethos of the games as such, or have I misunderstood the sentiment.

Hello 👋🏼! Join in, please! I hope your teeth are ok.

I know this is in bad taste...and a bit of a gloat, but it reminds me of the old Chinese proverb

"If you wait by the river long enough the bodies of all your enemies will eventually come floating by".

Disclaimer I'm not suggesting H & M should be tossed into the Thames!

😂😂

I agree on everything else, but unlike with Trustees who have a more formal role, Patrons are merely honorary titles and they have little legal or financial responsibility of any kind

It follows from this that - unless the charity's founding documents say otherwise - getting rid of them is a very simple matter for the board if enough feel the same

Except that, for whatever reason, it appears they may not or surely it would have been done

Another thing is that this is a letter from the Lord Chamberlain. Might be a bit weird him saying that they are much loved family members 😆

But HOW from here going forward are they actually going to earn any significant dosh?

Their multi million dollar/pound/euro properties, plus security costs, must have heavily eaten into their capital and the money has stopped flowing in.
Does the interest on remaining capital fund their lifestyle?

Or are they burning through the capital at the rate of knots.

Given their ages they have a long stretch of years ahead that require decent income streams coming in. But where from now?

As they thrash around trying to gain some footing on “their World stage” the opportunities are constantly diminishing and the brick walls growing higher.

The latest clarification from KC simply underlines to the World at large their diminished status and reminds all and sundry (ironically not least of all H&M) that they remain non working Royals but private citizens.

So back to the question of how are they going to bring in the £s with their return to the UK? And who on earth is going to want to pay them mega wonga as I can’t see any decent income stream for them going forward.

They are in the FO stage of FAFO. They whine about wanting it reiterated that they are still members of the RF. Maybe they are getting the message now that they are not loved or wanted or welcome anywhere near the family they have spent upwards of 5 years insulting and attacking and encouraging their deranged followers to hurl constant hate at them.

They are no longer "much loved members of the family" it would seem. It would appear that they were expecting a warm welcome back into the family and instead they have quite rightly received icy silence and are being ignored and frozen out. All richly deserved consequences from their vile hateful behaviour.

When HLMTQ made her statement that they remained much loved members of the family they had yet to comprehensively trash the institution and betray the privacy of other family members

That's so very true, @Dontevenlookatme, and a valid reminder that despite the many tall tales which backfilled H&Ms' accusations, the turning point was being told no

Well it’s been a while since I changed username so here I am, reporting for duty and thanks for the new thread.

So much to keep abreast of and here I am doing e-learning and my previous ward sister has rocked up and sat next to me in the hospital library so I’d better hide the phone and get down to it. 🙄

How will I ever catch up?

I agree, Deal!

It's ironic when we get accused of malevolence, spite and frothing on here because I find these threads (the regulars at least) are some of the funniest and wittiest on MN.

I've spat my coffee out a few times!
