Ham pr disasters 39! The Uganda divide…diplomatic necessity vs needless pandering.

[jeffgoldblum]

Continuing the discussion, still interested, still not bored!

I wasn’t going to mention it but ….i am doing a shift in the Foodbank on Friday AND collecting a DGC from school on Wednesday and taking her to gymnastics.

You are an example of true public service to us all mylovely!

I am touched

I agree. It's just not funny anymore (well, maybe a little). Strip them of all titles, then what ?

New school has already been outed on X. FFS. If they would only STFU none of us would have any idea where they lived nor where the kids were going to school. Talk about creating a media feeding frenzy.

Leaked by who? Harry Or Meg 🙄 they will not give up until they get what they want oh and they are addicted to drama

I wonder if they actually have more security than they know and MI5 have them under surveillance?

I'm quite sure they have, and have done all along.

The potential for manipulation by bad actors has been evident since the first faux-royal tour, to Nigeria, if not before.

The more I think about it, the more I think the King had to shut down the Ugandan nonsense before anyone could twist it to make it look as if he was interfering in Ugandan affairs and stir up a lot of anti-colonial rhetoric.

M doesn't understand the history of the Commonwealth, and Harry is too dim, and both of them are too self-absorbed, to realise the damage they could do.

Wish we had an instant "What?, Holy Shit!" emoji, I'd nearly take that over having the laughing one back at this stage

I just can't believe these two & I really thought I'd seen & heard it all where they are concerned

.

😁

Not that I take Enty's posts as stone tablets brought down from Mt Sinai, but I do wonder if the Hamlets aren't enrolled @ Laurel Springs. It's a WASC certified, highly rated school that is used a LOT by kids in entertainment or athletics whose schedules don't allow them to attend 'bricks and mortar' schools.

Seems to me it would be a very good fit for two children whose parents don't know what the fuck they're doing or where the fuck they're going to end up. And especially good if one member of that couple has intentions of returning to the US at some point in the not too distant future.

I’m calling it: they just cited security a. for ravec and b. Because they couldn’t admit the truth: having discovered the school run is about an hour each way, twice a day, they can’t be arsed to do it.

Also, whatever school they are at, chances are when they finally buy a place of their own it will involve another change of school to somewhere closer to the new place. Unless they squat at Ian’s place indefinitely.

😂😂This will absolutely do in the circumstances, thanks Jeff 👏

It’s confirmed - it’s impossible to keep up with you lot!

WRT KC3 and Uganda, I think it’s right that he made contact. It’s not clearing up Harry’s mess, it’s being diplomatic.

WRT to the kids being taken out of school, I’m dumbfounded. on many levels. The obvious priority is that the kids are safe. But I think H&M are wanting to create disaster scenarios. It makes me feel a bit sick that they’re going down this route.

Surely, if they played the game properly, it would be the same scenario as the children of W&C? Everyone knows where they go to school ffs!

And the crappy insta post thing they did - quite frankly it’s bonkers. Mismatched clothing for summer/colder months. But, mostly, deranged with regards to identifying locations.

If using What Three Words, their location is Totally Fucking Deluded.

Those children are going to end up in therapy with anxiety.

They’ve moved across the world, at the last minute because places became available ….for School A. Seemingly, they had been on the waiting list for ages. In that time they never sorted out the private security required and they never secured a place to live. They just upped and left.

Now after TWO days, the commute is too dangerous according to their security team and they’ve now been placed in School B. They moved all the way across the world at the last minute for School A but did no planning and now School B will do?????

Now we know this is crap and is just to twist Ravecs opinion - but let’s imagine for a moment this is what the security team truly believe. Then shouldnt the head of security be sacked because dry runs should have been made, alternative routes have been established, traffic factored in? This is a catastrophic failure on their part.

For two little children to start a new school, living in an unfamiliar house somewhere, in a new country…..to be yanked out in two days and are now in another school. Another uniform. It will be too much for them.

What exactly have they told the kids is the reason???? Have they told the kids it’s because it’s too dangerous?

These little ones will now have to start another school because of their parents rash, irrational, poor decision making, based on their fathers paranoia and their mothers need for attention.

They are awful awful parents….even before you’ve factored in that they are just using the kids and putting them in this situation for their own gain of publicly funded security.

They are indeed shocking @AtIusvue. Just when you think they couldn't be anymore ridiculous they are 🤷‍♀️ . They are using these children as exploitation.

Honestly, the disconnect between this pair’s actions and (1) the media oxygen they consume (2) their meaningful output (3) their benefit to anyone other than themselves (4) the attention they actually deserve, is unprecedented.

I can’t think of anyone else who has managed to sustain such a media profile, for so long, for so little impact or value.

Since they got to the UK, their output has been more intense, more chaotic, more hypocritical, less strategic, more shambolic, more unintelligent, more ill-advised than even Katie Price at her most shambolic.

If Harry were a retired cricketer or something, he’d sink without a ripple. These two are just a mess. Absolute tragedy of a train wreck unfolding in public.

Its appalling if RAVEC fold and H &M and their dc get 24/7 security.

They should have to follow simple advice before we believe a word. No press, no postng your every move on social.medoa, no convoys of cars for 2 little kids. Why draw attention. And choosing a school in a busy tourist city - is it so M can boast her dc are at school.in Oxford and its insta friendly? Perhaps the dc didnt like rheir new school.

There are plenty of schools without traffic issues in the cotswolds. Why pick a school bloody miles away in a city designed for bikes with well known traffic jams?

Their constant rattling of the begging bowl is so breath takingly unaware of the reality of this country and themselves.

Id rather uk defence spending increased not wasted on this pair and their offspring.

Id like to see an independant and verified reveiw of H&M evidenced security issues since being in the UK, and solutuons implemented - no posting locations, no press whats apps, no showing off. We could easily do it on mumsnet!:)

Bloody hell! As a parent of 2 with extremely complex needs who is totally worn out by the constant fight for the basics and burnt out dealing with the endless bureaucracy involved in engaging with any kind of service I applaud this post.
It has actually made me quite tearful because every word is true.

Sorry deleted post off my comment above !

All of you ladies facing battles for funding to support your DC and still finding time to call HAM to account are bloody legends. You’re doing the work of well paid journalists and pushing a rock up a hill at the same time.

Sincerely, cheese hats off to you all 👏👏👏

Wellies, a fireside and fishing — it’s Meghan’s marketing spin, as ever…

If you Google the words "fucking grifters" it's HaM who appear. I will be absolutely appalled if Ravec allow them to grift the taxpayers of this country any further. How can these two with their vast amounts of unearned privilege possibly think they deserve even more? There are children in this country going hungry and elderly people dying in hospital corridors. And yet they think they're the ones who should have more resources given to them?

The change of school is absolutely a stunt and at the expense of their children. They should probably have their children taken away from them as they are as useless at parenting as they are at everything else.

I’ve just remembered that Archie was meant to be doing “day boarding” finishing around 6pm, with Lily’s day ending around 3 or 4 pm. So THREE round trips, with each trip involving about an hour of crawling through north Oxford traffic, so about six hours a day on the school run! Of course it was unsustainable. But yeah, “security” is a much better excuse than being idiots who didn’t realise the school run was a pain in the bum.

Driving into that part of Oxford from any part of the surrounding countryside is a nightmare. There are complex traffic management systems and a crazily congested ring road. You can’t easily change route in—the roads don’t allow it. I would only have children at that school if we could walk or cycle in.
