Ham pr disasters 38! Ailing king? Or heartless son?

[jeffgoldblum]

Continuing the criticism…still interested, still not bored….

I don’t understand why they think they’ve won. Have I missed something because they seem like absolute losers to me.

I’ve been in hospital for a week and the HAM threads have kept me sane. So enlightening to read all the various theories/facts to try to make sense of the craziness that is HAM. Thank you.

Always pleased to see the original and best life! ❤️
and I was too late to express sympathy on the last thread, I too understand the pain of difficult family members 💐

Thing is if the HAMs can't get public funded CP probably all they can afford is an Audi or Range Rover......

Even if they do get funding I can't see it inevitably means a motorcade, even the working royals with CP don't always go around as part of one......

Well if we believe rumours and Neil Sean , apparently they are not in the Cotswolds at all but Northamptonshire instead! , take that as you will 🤷‍♀️

💐 hope you are recovering and feeling better etten.

I have a last minute addition to my Official September Diary so in a hurry but there are various interesting articles in the DM today not just HAM but AMW and Angela Kelly !

It's a distraction, isn't it? I hope you're recovering 🌸

Good morning - thanks @jeffgoldblum

Re the 'stepping back from Sandringham' story - it's interesting that it was only given to the Independent, rather than the usual multiple sources.
It also hasn't really been picked up more generally - the Daily Express has just picked it up on its 'Royals live' feed.
I wonder why it was only sourced to one place? A very tentative source to judge reaction?

Is it your birthday? 😉

If a split is on the cards, I should think they’re both busy “getting their ducks in a row “ as MN likes to say!

Maybe?
I wonder how ignoring the Sandringham Agreement will work if they're the only ones ignoring it...

HAM turn up at "lucky" hospital/charity/whatever of the week:

"Here we are! Call us 'Your Royal Highness-es'!"

Charity organisers: "Er...no"

HAM: "Bring the Lord Lieutenant to escort us on the red carpet!"

Charity organisers: "No"

HAM: "Bring us our tax-payer funded security for this Royal engagement!"

Charity organisers: "No"

HAM: "Send details of this to the Royal rota!"

Charity organ...

I mean, we can see where this is going, can't we?

Thanks for the thread @jeffgoldblum
I’ve been struggling to keep up, especially after a hideous day yesterday driving DD2 and a car load of her and DD1’s belongings to help them move into a new flat together in Greenwich.
I have a deep fear of the M25 and consequently chose a poor route mainly on the south circular that took foreveeerrrr. Then there was unpacking and DD1 dragging poor DH off to collect a desk she had bought on gumtree which involved nearly another hour of driving. We came back on the M25! Which was much quicker and calmer apart from the horror of a stop at a service station on the M3 - the “food court” was packed with families and screaming children queuing for McDonalds and other takeaways - they all seemed like they were on a family night out, no sense of a brief loo stop on a long journey. Do people do that? Go to the local service station because it’s got Nando’s and other chains for their Saturday night out meal? I said to DH “Imagine if there was a sudden snowstorm or something and you were trapped here for the next 24 hours”. He blanched with horror at the thought. I genuinely wish such an experience on the public citizens of Sussex. (Not all of Sussex obviously, just the chosen two). Just so they can experience real life as public citizens.

So I definitely haven’t had energy to think of a new name!

Anywaayyy….

I have been amused to see that over on X some newspaper reports are being community noted. For those not on X this is a way for other X users to make corrections. I really must learn how to do it, I’m sure it must be simple, to offer similar community notes as appropriate when the private citizens are given more importance than appropriate by the press.

If they’re in Northamptonshire then why was H spotted in Tetbury by a PP DM/F?

There are only two decent prep schools left in Northamptonshire now that Maidwell Hall has closed, not partly not due to CS’s book. Maidwell was a lovely little school in recent years but bad management, financial pressures and that bloody book sealed its fate. Shall I take one for the team and hang outside the school gates one morning to see if I can find the cavalcade, the armed bodyguards and very pissed off teachers?

Here for the gnat / rhino brawl.

Thanks in abeyance for the new thread Jeff as ever 👑

For Jeff.

I feel sorry for the kids. I hope Harry does get security (at least whatever Liz Truss gets) because the kids are so vulnerable.

It also shows one of their big problems as far as I see it (disclaimer: not a PR expert) - they always appear obsessed with tactics, not strategy. As in “What will get me top of the next news cycle” rather than “What will make me a person of global interest in the long term”.

When you are fighting a rhino that does indeed plan and act long term, and when also you need to think about setting up a secure financial future for at least the next 20 years, that seems unwise.

One of the many things I love about Jeff G is that his jazz band is called the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, after a friend of his mum.

Love it 😍

He and his family will get taxpayer funded security to a level deemed necessary by those in the know.
Harry is not in the know.
You don't get security because of status, you get it because of risk.

Morning blue, yes that is an interesting question! , I admit I didn’t notice this ( too busy rolling my eyes at the contents) , exclusive? , other media slow on the uptake? , or Is there something more here? 🤔

Doesn't the apparent fact that we have no verifiable sightings of the HAMS, and that nobody appears to know where the HAMS actually are mean their current level security is working very well?

That sounds like my worst nightmare private! , if anyone deserves outriders to smooth the way it would be you, unfortunately I’m not in charge so all I can offer is my sympathies 💐
