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

Continuing the discussion, still interested, still not bored!

I'll imagine their Duke and Duchess titles are going to go if be carries on pretending his a "public figure" and posting his schedules betc.

I watched Palace Confidential last night.

Rebecca English was commenting on the general response to the Sussex clapback:
People I have spoken to were like: "This is the directive of a head of state. Not the head of a family, the head of a state. Why should these two private individuals feel that they have any bearing on what he says?"

Meanwhile, the Princess of Wales was back at the Marsden today, looking at plans for the holistic care centre that she was helping to raise money for. A low key, unannounced visit, almost certainly because of security issues.

The last Diana Awards ceremony was in late 2024 and it was virtual (Harry presented). I don't think they have "gala event" type award ceremonies or even live ceremonies.

I feel your pain having just come back from my mother's house 💐

Not my Prince - he's a private individual , as am I , and simply bears the honorific "Prince" because he is KC's son. He does not speak or carry out engagements on behalf of the Monarch nor the Government.

(Oh memo to self - be a bit more lighthearted in the spirit of things )

Not my Prince - He's an entitled spoilt little twunt.

(Not sure I've nailed it there either 😂)

I assume this Royal Rota he tried to send his engagements to (is there a source for that BTW) is the same one he grudgingly went to the back of the aeroplane when he and M were doing their S.A tour , and said to them they hadn't been invited. At the time he was undertaking a visit on behalf of HLMTQ - of course they were fucking invited. I believe his rudeness was noted with some astonishment at the time.

The difference between BP & the Sussexes is that BP are chess players.

They have decades, if not centuries or experience, so will have strategies worked out. They have PR experts WHO THEY LISTEN TO. They take everything into consideration and make their moves in a timely, considered and coordinated way

Difficult for them to know exactly what games PH might start playing next, but it's definitely not chess. He's not even capable of playing tiddlywinks . . .

And hasn't there been a shortage of the usual "H loves me so baldly"-type announcements recently?

Correct me if I'm wrong (I don't actually follow her social media, and most of my info about HAM's doings comes from these threads). But, in the past, M seems to have felt that the world needed constant reminders of how much they were in love, how happy they were together, and particularly of how much H loved her. So much so, that the recent absence of these romantic bulletins (even on her birthday?) feels rather pointed.

I can't help thinking that you would need a certain cooling-off period between announcing how ecstatically in love you are, and announcing that you're going to be living on different continents and dating different people . Perhaps this silence is a bit of a lull before a storm.

That same royal rota thar M refused to let have a pic of Archie because they called him " the N word", as claimed in The Cut interview.

I guess trust with their own royal rota (that WhatsApp group of reporters they used to keep apprised of things) has broken down.

Ian wace is a billionaire hedge fund mngr! Information is the most important thing in that business like Epstein, knowing something a day or just 5 hours before the rest of the world equals millions. Knowing when to buy and sell is gambling unless you have excellent information sources.

Well he's not going to be getting that into from H&M, is he. No-one with half a brain cell would trust them with sensitive information. It's more likely to be the reverse - them spilling info about Ian Wace's affairs that he would prefer to keep private.

I did read that a while ago he bought an island off the west coast of Scotland. Maybe, failing the Tower, H&M could be sent there.

Yes indeed, I can well imagine Harry hazsplaining the concept of celebrity to Meg, and Meg megsplaining royalty to Harry, and them both getting mutually frothed about how very progressive they are not needing anyone to advise them on matters of constitutional law, parliamentary history, international relations and legal absolutes because after all, representing the Head of State is all about the cash, baby. And yes, the Yorks have been a bloody disgrace in encouraging the Sussex grift to grow along with the viler stuff.

I'm disappointed in the senior people in the HoS's offices and the government machine who haven't stopped this sooner. Anyway, now's their chance. Remove titles, throw penis-squiggler in back of an ambulance.

People magazine doesn't do that (it's too full of arse-licking puff pieces to risk that kind of offence), but other outlets publish stuff like that yes. And MM is frequently top of the chart! I can't think why ...

You are very welcome always across ❤️ , I do like to hear the opinions and views from our posters from the us and other countries, it really helps to see how it comes across with everyone.

They have several events during the year.

The last one they held this year was in early summer, and William attended that one, hence why it was due to be Harry's turn to attend this one.

The award ceremony is only one of the events held by the Diana Award charity.

The story is the one initially broken by Charlotte Griffiths, who confirmed a day or two ago (I think the video was linked here) that the event had been cancelled. She speculated why that might have been, but said that she had not been able to confirm why independently, and was planning to do so.
I haven't seen an update from her.

Dear God, that’s beyond just arrogant or cheeky, isn’t it? It shows a level of imbecility that really quite concerning.

That worked well for Princess Charles of Wales. Nope, the overseas press will call her Princess Meghan and it will stick, with her encouragement l.

No mention of MM attending any of his planned events or his trip back to usa 22 sept

That makes two of us!

"Hi, Harry. Ian here. Hilary gave me your number. She and Ted speak highly of you. We've got a little project going that we could really use some assistance with. Trying to make the world a safer place for children by banning internet access to undesirables. We need someone smart and intelligent with a high international profile. You'd ha e to relocate temporarily at leaxt. But we'd provide food and lodgings and cover the school fees."

I think the Early Learning Centre nee-naws might give the game away.

I can just hear my old granny. 😁

She never called herself Princess Diana. That was just the media.

But was it published? I find this incredibly tin-eared and also just petulant and rather pathetic. The King was very clear in his letter that the terms of the Sandringham Summit still stand, so is this Hazbeen's idea of a clap back? That whatever the King says, he will continue with his campaign to be seen as a working royal again and he'll pursue that agenda regardless?

It's just all a bit desperate. He left, he and Meghan got on 'the freedom flight', because everything here was just so awful for them. But the RF and the country has moved on and we neither want nor need him any more. His vicious attacks on his family and his bitter, whiny, entitled attitude regarding security that he expects us, the British taxpayers, to stump up for have permanently soured the relationship. He's no longer the cheeky young prince or the little boy walking behind his DM's coffin. He's an entitled jerk with a sharp-elbowed and narcissistic wife and we don't like or want either of them! The sooner she pisses off back to California and he goes off to live a quiet life in the shires, the better.

Jack Royston used to be 100% sugar.

I assume this Royal Rota he tried to send his engagements to (is there a source for that BTW) is the same one he grudgingly went to the back of the aeroplane when he and M were doing their S.A tour , and said to them they hadn't been invited.

I think someone upthread said it was from Tom Sykes, @BasiliskStare (welcome back!)

The Australian story was from Valentine Low https://archive.is/bJKt9

My point exactly. But Meghan is no Diana and I’m sure she’d love other people to refer to her as Princess Meghan.
