Continuing the saga of Sussex PR disasters.

On the tangent of our brief interlude with a guest, I also found these threads from active. Rather than assuming the worst I started reading, then read some more. Rather than hatred what I found was some exceptionally witty, terribly British, disbelief of the antics of HAM. So witty and British I wound up staying!

I do wonder why Ms insta is so so quiet. Do we think she’s plotting or hiding. Or both!

Judging by the size of the glass of wine in her mate’s insta photo, she’s probably still trying to get up off the floor somewhere 😆😆

It was reported back in the 1980s that Diana's favourite boy's name that she wanted to use was "Oliver" (quite trendy at the time).

It had to be explained to her why that was a HUGE NO from the royal family.

😂😂 I miss the laugh emoji
Would have been embarrassing and inappropriate after one of her affairs!

They didn't post it. The boy's mother did.

And what about humiliating that school kid who didn't want cameras in his face during Harry's classroom visit? It resulted in Sussex Squad bullying and death threats. Why didn't Harry demand the footage was scrapped if he is serious about online safety?

It should have been a G&T if she wanted to really fit in with us Brits!

Not to mention Cromwell cutting great great great etc granddad’s head off.
Catherine is an absolute star never pushes herself forwards but you know she’s there. Solid in the background supporting William and the Crown. Best day’s work William did was marrying Catherine

She often has long gaps between posts. No wonder she isn't selling much, to be a successful influencer you really have to engage your audience. It looks exhausting.

She’s not really a successful anything as far as I can tell.

It would, but I think the pp means inappropriate in terms of the bloke who cut off Charles 1st head 😆

Prince Philip was only 9 when his mum had a severe mental breakdown and was removed to a sanatorium.

And look how he turned out! 😱

I think Kelly has the social media account that Meghan would love to have - parading her children , her life, her husband etc. Yes she had a tragedy with the death of her son and now uses her social media to promote her charity. Meghan met Kelly through her first husband Trevor. She fell out of touch with Kelly though when she moved on to Suits and Toronto. Meghan was back in the USA for two years before she reconnected with Kelly in 2022 after the death of her son . I fear that Kelly had been Markled and can't see it .

I think this is possibly quite horrible. It does seem to suggest that Meghan swooped back in to rekindle the friendship when she could piggyback on the death of that poor child, making herself appear such a good friend and support to his mother. I’m sure this isn’t the case, because it would be just awful. I do have an acquaintance who is a bit like it - whenever there is some sort of drama or tragedy, she has to insert herself into the middle of it, and be the most upset, the most supportive, the most in the know of everyone involved. It’s not an attractive trait.

What did he do that deserves that much vitriol?

Especially when you think what he went through as a child.

I just don’t get the hate.

I’m sorry, as I said, I’m not British, so maybe I don’t understand.

But especially considering he served in the Military (and you could argue he’s the only one deserving of his medals).

You are right.
You are not British
You don’t understand .

Oh, hate and vitriol again. I've missed those two the last few days.

Andylion · Yesterday 19:27

my goodness. I’m sitting at home on hold for the eye doctor and what do I see on my TV?

I should say this is not very far away from where I am. I was quite surprised.

Why has he got his bloody minder with him??

Btw, hope your eye is ok.

Can thread 44 be titled Hamandaland: they came, they saw, they were autocued

*Improvements welcome.

Just a regular check up that had to be rescheduled. Thank you. 🙂

I do find it quite ironic to be called obsessed by people who write multiple posts critical of selected members of the monarchy and the institution itself. I suppose they would say they are passionately interested, we are obsessed.

It's because they really don't like Dickens' novel isn't it. They prefer Austen.
