Ham pr disasters 45! …hiding? …undercover?..or ready for the next adventure!

[jeffgoldblum]

still discussing the delightful escapades of our favourite twosome!

Yes, and having deleted several threads which didn't suit about H&M - even saying no more would be allowed for a while IIRC - MNHQ allowed most of them to run

No wonder many of us kept well away from them ...

Harry still CIO at BetterUp ($1m pa),

I don't believe that figure for a second.

Regarding the rest of your post, I do think the bulk of their wealth is Harry's inheritance and investments on that, as well as what's left over from the lucrative media deals they scored when they first went to California. Even if those were nowhere near as big as made out, they'll still have made quite a bit from them.

Looking forward, it's very hard to see where they can make serious money on any sustainable basis. Even if the Diana 'documentary' is a success, that's a one off. I doubt anyone is paying Harry big money to speak, especially after the teleprompter debacle, and as you say, Meghan's kickbacks and 'As Ever' are not big earners either.

this very sudden move back to the UK only makes sense when you follow the $$$$.

I kind of agree, but how is being in Britain going to improve their financial situation? At the very most they might get security paid but they are still left with all their other expenses and lack of income streams. If anything, being in Britain where they have to compete with actual working royals and where businesses are going to be even more cautious about getting involved with them, will make it harder for them to make serious money.

That, or they could accept reality. Which is that they're not actually that important and don't require round the clock high level security.

Yes, they were horrible, about the cancer, and awful accusations about William. Wise to give them a swerve.

😂they will NEVER accept that! Particularly Harry.

I was particularly incensed that MNHQ allowed one related to rumours of marital infidelity to stand. Pure nasty gossip, with no evidence and definitely not in the spirit as MNHQ so often likes to say when deleting posts. I'm sure I'm not the only one who reported and complained about that thread but it was allowed to stand.

Then they're going to have to pay for it. Because RAVEC aren't going to give Harry what he thinks he deserves.

I remember one of those. Nasty gossip presented as "fact".

I agree jeff, but if the Queen wanted to be escorted into Philip's memorial service, what was wrong with Charles, Anne or Edward doing it?

Remembering she also responded to the Epstein revelations by splashing Andrew with yet another decoration (GCVO I think), it perhaps wasn't the wisest choice

My mistake. Apologies to @JuniperJumper

No-one defends AMW on these threads.

No problem at all. This thread has been so fast moving at times, it's hard to keep up with who originally posted certain ideas

This is obviously an American version, all I could find on google, but it was along these lines, from every window of a three story Cotswold stone lovey big house.

Of course hugely OTT for most of us. I have a twig circlet thing that I poke holly and ivy into every year and feel proud of my efforts. I’ve had it for at least 30 years so tell myself how frugal I am saving so much money on Christmas wreaths. Sometimes it feels a bit of a chore and one year I followed the lead of neighbours by simply tying a bunch of holly and ivy with a red ribbon and hanging that on the door.
Here’s last year’s one. lop sided Asever.

It sounds as though M will have to stop shopping at Daylesford and pop into Lidl instead (and their jam can be very naice)

Or buy Daylesford burgers when they’re on special offer on Ocado?

Sorry Meghan, but I suspect this will outsell your calendar:

Correct me if I'm wrong. I always thought that the sovereign left their money etc to the heir to avoid inheritance tax.

Here you go, kids.

We can get this customised, produced and delivered within 6 weeks. Who has the balls to go ahead with this and give it to Mike Tindall during the Sandringham church walk?

Re the reasons for their return - I am imagining some crossed wires at the Highgrove visit in the summer..

Harry says: if only we lived here, we could see more of each other, wouldn’t that be nice
Charles thinks: fuck, no
Charles says: yes that would be lovely
Harry hears: if you come back everyone will apologise and you will immediately be part of the family again

Harry says: and RAVEC would have to think again, right?
Charles thinks: no way are this pair gonna get security
Charles says: I expect there would be another review, yes
Harry hears: if you come back you will get 24/7 armed security on the taxpayer

Harry says: looks like everyone’s pretty busy, huh, I guess that’s why nobody else has invited us over
Charles thinks: this man is seriously deluded
Charles says: yes there’s always something to be done
Harry hears: we can’t cope, we need you back as working royals

Harry says: and I’m really good at royal engagements aren’t I
Charles thinks: fuck, no
Charles says: yes dear boy, really really good
Harry hears: if you come back you will be working royals again

Harry says: every now and then we do talk about coming back
Charles thinks: fuck, no
Charles says: well there would have to be a lot of planning, lots to sort out, it’s a big move, probably best not to uproot the children, but you can always have a chat with the MiGs if you need any advice with your long-term plans
Harry hears: if you announce this in advance we will try to tell you what to do

The Sussexes depart
Camilla raises an eyebrow
Charles says: Harry never listens. Thank Christ they live in California.

Some eagle-eyed person (not me) has spotted that the information on the As Ever site omits the fact that the chocolates are made in a factory that handles nuts. So much for being good at detail.

This is brilliant!

I'll take adjacent credit 🫠

Good one! 😁

Only if you can say so in Latin . . . .

🤣🤣🤣 no doubt somebody will!
