Ham pr disasters thread 47! …it’s all so quiet…it’s all so still ….

[jeffgoldblum]

Still interested! , still not bored ( well slightly!) 😁

You only have to look at the promotional shot she did for the advent calendar. Meghan herself sits in front, she takes up most space,

With her hand up by her mouth in that pose, it looks as if she was supposed to be about to bite into one of the chocolates, Cadbury's Flake style, but they forgot the choc.

Privately- as in the actual meaning of the word, or "privately" where HaMz tell the media that they are doing something privately as private citizens but bleat on about it so evvvvveryone knows how busy they are.

The main product that Meghan sells is herself. Everything else is secondary.

I agree @Lunde.

Your comments about her promotional shots are very accurate.

I once saw an influencer-type video that she had done about a day in Toronto, when she was working there. (I watched it because I worked in Toronto for a year, so wondered if she would show places I knew.)
Similarly, the camera was focused on Meghan walking along or sitting at the table, etc, so it was impossible to see which street she was on or which restaurant she had entered.

I also notice that she has referenced 'a squad of support' in her advent post. Presumably deliberate wording, but not helpful.

What?! I'm a zimbo 😂
ETA - the PRESS don't like colonial upstarts. People from Zim were said to be colonials.
Harare is further from Mauritius than London is from Istanbul. She has not moved home.

I don't think this story about an "apology" is coming from Meghan and Harry though. It's been invented by the media.

Interesting words here. “A squad of support”..?

They would need to go on Oprah again and explain all the ways theyve been awful. With complete humility and sincerity.

It’s not possible for either of these perpetual victims, in my opinion.

That pose makes me incandescent.

Along with the sincerely-sympathetic-but-this-is-my-good-angle-i-even-cry-pretty face

More like a squad of internet bullies who kneel at the alter of Sussex.

I'd love it if any of them had actually stepped foot in Sussex, or could point to it on a map

People Magazine is their go to for leaking and briefing. I believe People because they won’t want to make HAM angry and jeopardise the source.

Absolutely they cannot. I don’t think most of them leave the internet, anyway.

Do people actually believe this media fabrication about an apology?

Personally no, @BunnyBunbunbun; like many of the no-name "source" strories I believe they're most likely clickbait devised after a liquid lunch

As said though, I could easily buy that they might pretend to have apologised, in some hopeless attempt to look principled

Meghan cannot be wrong. So to her, there is no contradiction in any of her marketing. She can’t take advice. She can’t be overshadowed (eg by a news item about the Princess of Wales or Chelsy Davy). And for her it’s all about appearances and how that makes her feel (clever and important), so if she makes a post saying she’s always been an entrepreneur, in her mind that makes it true. She dresses up in a shit ton of cashmere and diamonds to promote her crappy calendar because to her, that’s the important bit - the dressing up and showing off. Not the product or the business, certainly not the customers. Just the appearance. She also probably thinks she’s very clever to be merching the jewellery in this way.

She is a megalomaniac, but so basic.

Is this really true or a myth? Do internet bullies rally together in such a squad way? Are they paid or do they merely hate on the royal family and CofE priests ?

Of course it will never happen. I just think the world needs to see the words coming from their mouths admitting all their lies and nasty behaviour.

Otherwise it will never be accepted by mad fans, although the most extreme would likely still find some excuse or another.

Public slander = public apology but a statement is not enough.

Would have to be in person, detailed and with explanation.

As well as apologising to the RF I think they need to apologise to the country because they have caused international damage.

Irrespective of any fantasy apology they will never be trustworthy so I think it won’t change their access to the RF or entirely rehabilitate their image.

It's hard to tell as only in August, H was still furious and demanding an apology.

It could be, no.1. Ravec have made their decision and it's not what HAM expected. 2. H genuinely believes he's adored by the public and isn't getting the attention he expected. 3. Panic because no Xmas invites have arrived

IF an apology is on the cards. It's purely strategic

Emoji are unpopular on MN but this emoji asked very politely if it could sit here for a bit, and I said yes 🙄

They definitely had online meetings in the past.

I suppose the safest bet is to find a cathedral, abbey or big church with a gift shop

I am sitting having a coffee within spitting distance of No.1 Cathedral and its gift shop. Will go along there some time.

I looked out what I have left from last year. I had a box of charity cards from Waterstones, with angels, three kings, Bethlehem, but no actual Nativity scene.

I read she spends a lot of time in Zimbabwe & also Cape Town. I still don't understand your need to refer to Chelsy by such a derogatory title?
The article in the Daily Mail today was lovely & very kind to Chelsy, I think you are wrong about the press. I have seen similar articles over the years & all seem to like & be very respectful.

At best it would be a “We are sorry for what happened between us” type apology which is classic distancing language, not acknowledging reality and trying to share blame where none is actually attributable to the victim.
I had similar once from someone who had betrayed me very badly.
It shows someone who lacks the moral courage to admit what they did, but then of course if they had that morality they wouldn’t have done it in the first place.

Meg-alomaniac 👏

She fails to understand that selling herself is portraying someone who’s open to offers, however dubious and cheapening they may be?
It’s not the image that anyone with a modicum of integrity would do. It makes her look cheap and increasingly desperate.

Well if that's her game Chelsy is an entrepreneur too & a qualified solicitor so she needs to try harder. Chelsy's business is also 10 years old & her products are beautiful.
I also feel she had a hissy fit because the Daily Mail featured such a glowing article on Chelsy, the comments underneath are gold!
