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

[jeffgoldblum]

Continuing the discussion, still interested, still not bored!

It's a very cold article too IMO. Totally chaotic for their children too. RF adjacency is starting to look unlikely with each ridiculous leak. KC will put the interests of the Monarchy first. He already has a great relationship with his other 3 grandchildren and with his step grandchildren too, I'm sure

but if kc pays for hamlets school they will need to stay, surely?

For Fuck's Sakesesses?

Ok Mag🙄

Thanks once again, @jeffgoldblum - will catch up lster

She has a plan. As ever.

Well, that’s where the plan fails.

The puss on that…

Yes she has. Post divorce book. It will be damning

😂 a word from years ago 😉

How do you know what domestic staff they have? Almost everything about them is speculation. No one knows whereabouts they are living even. There's speculation, but zero facts (unless I've missed something?).

Smug and Mug…

Pretty succinct description of how Harry and Meghan shoot from the hip, they only ever have a surface level frame of reference or comprehension. They are the ultimate village idiots.

<<Shrewd and tactical thinkers would have ignored this intervention from the dodgy son of an even dodgier leader – neither man has a human rights record that is entirely spotless in a country where homosexuality and ‘Western influences’ are facing increasing censure.

Yet Harry and Meghan went on to blame King Charles for this development and seemed to treat the news as a blow. Never mind that not so long ago a Ugandan author was arrested and allegedly threatened with having his legs broken for criticising Museveni and calling his son an ‘obese curmudgeon’.

Don’t the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – who have extensively criticised the British Royal Family for unconscious bias on race and the British people for their ‘damaging’ stiff-upper-lip attitudes – have something censorious to say about this shower of bullies? It seems not. >>

One reads a lot of stuff about various members of the royal family. A great deal of it is complete made-up nonsense.

Well from the ‘horses mouthpiece’ People magazine just a few short months ago.

"And, of course, he was made Duke of Sussex"

Being made a duke on marriage as the son or grandson of the monarch is an assumption that you and your wife will be working royals and the purpose of the duke/duchess title is to give you the appropriate status.

For example, the Duke of Kent (who inherited his father's title) is a working royal, as was his late wife the Duchess of Kent. His younger brother, Prince Michael, howevern is not a working royal, nor is his wife, Princess Michael of Kent.

This is just another thing Harry was incapable of taking seriously and using appropriately.

She did him a huge disfavour, so. It was obviously that that sowed the seeds of his never ending entitlement and bitterness.
Not to say that he couldn’t have matured and copped himself on as he grew up, but his lack of intellect hasn’t helped him reflect in any meaningful way.

You actually believe that? It's just "self-proclaimed friend of Diana said" rubbish. Richard Kay spouts endless nonsense.

Even he is saying "in Diana's mind"? How the heck does he know what was in Diana's mind? How would Diana be in any position to "prepare" for Harry acceding to the throne and not William?

That article also says:
"He raised the subject of how some people used to speculate about Princess Margaret being better suited for the role of monarch than Princess Elizabeth."

Exactly who speculated that? It's utter tosh.

Are you suggesting that Richard Kay is a Harry mouthpiece?

If anything, this is an example of the complete garbage that "friends" and "sources" and "experts" completely make up and then spout to the trash media, and that gets circulated and recirculated and ends up making things difficult for the real royals, especially William and Catherine. People magazine in particular publishes this kind of rubbish because they are American and have no idea about how the monarchy works.

This whole story is garbage.

Not going well at all...hard to dip them in royal glitter if the actual royal family refuses to even meet them or have anything to do with them.

how can that be possible? She herself admitted Harry was thick as shit (paraphrasing obviously) and he hasn't a clue how the monarchy works

This is a quote from one of the many articles in Heat magazine:

"She had hoped that there would be some sort of positive public acknowledgement from Harry’s family, and there’s been nothing, which is quite hurtful because a good word from any one of them could no doubt do a lot to silence their critics,’ the insider says".

I just can't get over the degree to which they seem not to understand the consequences of their words and actions.

Just catching up - thanks for the thread @jeffgoldblum.

The list of engagements simply proves again that
a - the King's letter was needed, and
b - he really has no concept of security.

One thing I've noticed over the last couple of days is that people online who support the Sussexes keep comparing the King's letter to the Queen's statement after Sandringham, pointing out that hers was much milder and written in a more family-oriented manner.
They seem to forget that at Sandringham the Sussexes were given a year to decide what they wanted to do, and she then wrote a second statement which was much more direct, even though it had a (quite separate) family sentence. No one seems to be quoting that statement:

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have confirmed to Her Majesty The Queen that they will not be returning as working members of The Royal Family.
(One space)
Following conversations with The Duke, The Queen has written confirming that in stepping away from the work of The Royal Family it is not possible to continue with the responsibilities and duties that come with a life of public service. The honorary military appointments and Royal patronages held by The Duke and Duchess will therefore be returned to Her Majesty, before being redistributed among working members of The Royal Family.

While all are saddened by their decision, The Duke and Duchess remain much loved members of the family.

Edit as spaces not showing properly

and he thinks he is England’s very own Prince, or at least he has self proclaimed himself to be a royal with a title that doesn’t exist (twat).

Possible that she thought he could be King? I suppose she envisioned him as some sort of heavily crafted persona with other, wiser heads behind the scenes actually pulling the strings. Much like the way he lived his life pre Meghan.

Absolutely absurd. What did they expect?
