Hope no-one minds that I started this one...

Continuing the saga of Sussex PR disasters.

The fact that he blamed Reid, which sounds like a surname which IMO is a disrespectful way to address someone. Sums H up. He's a wanker. Hope Reid speaks out 😂

I know an American whose first name is Reade so it can be a first name.

So how did the NY trip come about? Are we to assume he was paid for the Travelyst speech and then - to both puff out his list of September engagements and try to avoid criticism for travelling trans Atlantic just to give one speech telling us plebs not to travel - he then looked around for something else to do in NYC.

His Clinton GI speech was not paid and the organizers must have known he was no expert. But they also probably knew Harry would get them a lot of publicity. I didn’t even know about the CGI till this week.

Of course what gets more publicity than prince harry giving an AI speech shortly after his father the king? An autocue stuff up during his speech. If he thinks it was sabotage that means he probably didn’t build a good rapport with the organising team. But turning it off intentionally is totally unprofessional so I find it hard to believe.

Amazing how for every single thing that's not gone well in his entire life, someone else is invariably to blame. Never, ever Harry. For people who've read Spare, is it all like this? Does he ever take responsibility for anything?

Wouldn't she just! I wonder where she was during Meghan's childhood?

I think that she will hold off on bean-spilling, she knows which side of her bread's buttered as we say and she will also not want her life investigating too closely either.

I went through the list of speakers at the event and didn’t see him mentioned. As his name and Chrissy Teigans name were mentioned I wasn’t expecting much but they did have some serious hitters

I can’t imagine he’s a draw for the crowd they wanted to attract so would think his team approached the Clinton’s to speak as he was going to be jn NYC they let him talk.

Put a teleprompter glitch is now what people are taking about.

Why did a serious organisation invite him to talk about something he knows nothing about? The only thing he brings to the occasion is his title, and surely Americans aren't impressed by that?

Opening a Christmas Bazaar in lieu of a soap star is more his level.

I wonder if he would be available to open our Christmas Fair, December 12th, keep the date Harry, we need to seriously increase our revenue. I'd charge the press huge admission to come in and they would have to buy tombola tickets from me! There's a bus which stops outside too, so it's climate change friendly.

He might even give you a couple of signed copies of Spare for the raffle prizes!

“my husband’s grandmother”

Wasn't it at least once 'his grandmother' - even worse.

Even Prince Charles and Princess Anne used to say 'the Queen' when referring to her in interviews.

Allegedly, during the stroppy period of her life, some creep asked Anne a brown-nosing question about 'your mother' to which Anne replied along the lines of 'by 'your mother' are you referring to Her Majesty The Queen?', I imagine Anne could spot certain types a mile off!

And finally, in the UK, is it even acceptable for a titled member of the RF to use their titled for a commercial purpose.

No, it wouldn't be acceptable. Peter Phillips as you say isn't titled, but even he got some stick when he took part in an advertising campaign.

The only real reports of William's temper are "reported" by the Sussex Squad.

Well there was the dog bowl incident as reported by Harry (who isn't the most reliable narrator of course). But I wouldn't take a bit of pushing and shoving between two brothers as evidence of very much.

I think most parents would be glad if the only damage their squabbling off-spring caused was a broken dog bowl, I see your dog bowl and raise you a bedroom door off its hinges!

I think the only issue with Alexandra is that there is currently a Princess Alexandra still alive.

Surely the name Elizabeth was used during HM's lifetime though, can't imagine Princess Alexandra coming on MN to whine 'they've stolen my name'!

Don't forget the necklace!

I imagine there'll already be a few of those on the White Elephant stall.

I think the point is there would have been two Princess Alexandras at the same time. Not just another Alexandra in the same family. I don’t believe there is or was another Elizabeth in the RF 🤷‍♀️

I don't think I'm alone in the opinion that while AMW is not a nice person and should absolutely be tried for any crimes (espionage/treason) against the British state, I'd like to see several of the undoubtedly many high profile american men in jail for Epstein before we let them come for their (the same people in some cases) choice of ours. ffs they've only managed to put a woman away so far and their next choice is foreigners for crimes that are undoubtedly 99.99% men's crimes, and 50%+ american crimes. Sorry for the derail.
Much as Harry is consciously or otherwise working against the British state, nothing he has done is in the same league as either of the things AMW is accused of and it is important imo that the response is also different by a significant margin. The important thing is that he is not being given the opportunity to be as evil.

A foreign woman at that!

I'd like to see a lot more of the Epstein evidence released unredacted, too, before the American authorities are set loose on a Brit who, while he might know a lot about Epstein, probably knows a lot less that e.g. Clinton and Gates.

I agree.

I think the dc are still in their Cali school having never been pulled out and M hot- footed it back as soon as she had the footage she wanted in the can ready to be released at leisure.

Then wouldn't the parents in California be saying 'But they're still here!'?

We're visiting Sandringham House today; I'll keep my eye out for any persona non grata types lurking in dark corners.

They've sorted the water leak problems then? It was closed earlier this month. Make sure you go into the Church, it's beautiful.

CrookedEaredCorgi · Yesterday 12:16

OK I we reported my post and requested it be removed as I’ve now checked Kelly’s instagram and the photo isn’t there, so I asked Grok to identify it and it can’t be confirmed as being anything to do with her.

God knows where it came from. Still very poor taste whoever decided to dress a child like that.

No! We have enough books on the bookstall and anything non-alcoholic or not chocolate doesn't go down well on the raffle. We do have a couple of wobbly tables though!

I'd never heard of Dave Gardner so I looked him up. Imagine calling your child Grey. Not even a middle name. Might as well have called him Yawn .
Sorry I seem to be in derail mode today. I'll keep taking the pills.

Not for a princess’s first name. And even if it had a Princess Elizabeth could not be confused with Queen Elizabeth,

Ok but if it involves any kind of speech e.g. "Father Christmas will be in the grotto at 3pm and JudgeJ's tombola stall is open now" you might want to prep a prompt card for him, in case he forgets what to say.
