Ham pr disasters 37! Will the blame remain in abeyance too?

Continuing the discussion, still interested, still not bored!

No, People Magazine are Harry’s mouthpiece.

People magazine is everyone's mouthpiece. It's like Hello or OK Magazine here. Full of celeb twaddle, a good portion of it placed by their publicists to get a certain message out. My MIL loves People magazine and is a big fan of HaM 🙄

Not according to the dictionary definition of public figure.

They both did - I think originally (the early days) the vast majority of the population thought MM was going to be great for the RF - just think what they could have done in many areas including the Commonwealth (which HMTLQ wanted then to take on) …… I can hardly believe how they both managed to throw it all away with such a high level of bitterness and hate. They’ll reap what they sow!

I think you're attributing far too much foresight and planning to Meghan. It's clear from their antics these past 7 years that neither thinks more than one step ahead. If that. Everything is done on impulse. The original Grand Flounce was, and so is this.

I also disagree that there Meghan would be able to monetise her 'royal links' even after a potential divorce. Firstly because I don't think Americans are fascinated by the royals in the way they used to be. Secondly, with the Wales kids growing up fast, frankly there's no real interest in the Sussex children. A post divorce 'tell all' might be a money spinner, but I'd imagine any divorce settlement would come with a watertight NDA. But we are getting ahead of ourselves!

Report that Prince William was behind the cancellation of the Diana awards gala dinner.

M’s social media has been very quiet.

Looking at the Invictus website, there seems to have been a UK team for each of the Games.

From the Vancouver Games site, The Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 were held from February 8-16 and featured 534 Invictus Games competitors – wounded, injured and sick serving members and Veterans from 23 Nations
so serving members are part of the teams.

Members join Invictus as individuals for community support, help with rehab etc (these are ongoing activities separate to Games), so the team would not be 'sent' by the military.

Good 👍🏼

I just don’t understand how two people (not just one) can be so deluded and dense.

Yes I’m sure they egg each other on and actually are both bad for each other, but you really would think at their ages they would possess a modicum of sense and wisdom between them.

This move back was never going to work without acceptance of the huge betrayal and hurt they’ve caused. Even then with mass apologies it’s a tall ask to want people to move on from all that’s been said and written and forge a future way forward. They still haven’t learnt a thing.

Even the most savvy PR professionals in the world would have trouble now positioning them in a good light. They’re just toxic and they wouldn’t listen and follow advice anyway. The definition of stupidity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result.

Folie à deaux

The best Meghan could do is use this marriage to manoeuvre her way into a better one. However she’s not Diana, she’s getting older, she’s already broken the royal connection so that’s been messed up.
They've also broken the relationships they would have had with the super rich they had at one point.

‘Artist’ is more commonly used modern English.

I’d thought that too. She’s stopped posting. I had assumed settling kids into new schools / moving house.

My reply is a link to the radar online article linked in the tweet above.

You obviously know more about this than I. However , it does not surprise me that a couple who folded the Archewell Foundation , to grandiosely announce it's reincarnation as Archewell Philanthropies with a fraction of the money , to support HAM and Hamlets' global philanthropy , would try and take on the whole National Curriculum. 😂. Catherine has made Early Years learning her thing , Camilla has Literacy as one of hers. Might it have been better for H to have a more focussed area and see how it goes? I'm unclear what it actually means though , so who knows. I still can't get my mind round what Travelyst actually does in any real demonstrable way so maybe I am the wrong person to ask 😊

What better marriage could there be? Leaving aside H and his dubious qualities, she had wealth, influence, publicity, the potential to develop her (alleged) humanitarian interests on a global stage....

Where would she look for a new husband? And what potential new husband would want to take on all the baggage that would come with her?

I’m wondering if the Invictus schools thing is a one off thing to be used in school assemblies. I have known charities to do that. For example, our head decided to use one produced by the Dogs Trust charity about how to approach dogs as there was a lot of parents bringing their lockdown dogs to the school gates. However we rarely do something like that as the curriculum is rammed with things you actually have to teach.

Agree, @BasiliskStare - wanting to 'clarify' an official directive from the Head of State feels very like 'collaborating with the Queen'!

And how HAM has played the blinder!

Now that Harry's announced his 'September Schedule', it's all clear to me: He's planning to carry on like a 'working royal' until KC and PW give in and take him back in an effort to control him.
PH (and MM is she's in tow) going to all these events will make them/him a de facto working royal and will make RF's insistence that PH is NOT a working royal look ridiculous because, in fact, he will be working and doing exactly the same 'work' as the 'working royals'.

Sorry all ! , and welcome again everyone 👋 , the back to school routine on top of me still feeling tired from recovering has rendered me very tired, I went for a nap this morning and woke up not long ago! 😱 , I’m also very sorry @bluegreygreen, I did spend ages scrolling through to find the quote or article that you requested and couldn’t find it! , I know I read it but I can’t find it now!

With the news earlier this week that AMW has a new lady friend, it appears that some people ignore all the information that's available to them about a person's previous character etc

Are you joking, I’m afraid I’m still fuzzy from my extended nap .

No worries @jeffgoldblum

Hope you feel better soon.

I wonder if they need help with the national curriculum?

Maths. If Harold applies 8 hour cream at 8 am, what time will he need a top up?

Also maths. If Invictus Games cost 130k per athlete to stage, but the athletes have to pay their own way, how much did Meghan’s outfits cost?

English. Critical analysis of sources. To what extent is the Lord Chamberlain’s statement an absolute bollocking? use other sources to support your answer. Mumsnet PR disasters thread 253 may be used for guidance.

Geography. A) How long has Portugal been part of the Cotswolds? B) what year did Christopher Columbus discover Soho House?

History. What happened when Edward and Wallis thought they could have their cake and eat it?

Food and Nutrition. Make a dish. Any dish. Just don’t serve it with flower sprinkles.
