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

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

If they get their way with RAVEC, they will be insufferable

Inspo for my next user name - “MyChristmasTreeIsBiggerThanWills”

I do wonder if this is how they thought their UK return would pan out. I think they had high hopes for his uncles book and that they would be vindicated and the offers would come rolling in.

Such as any book of its nature, it was wild news for a few days and now its old chip paper. Theres been no real damage to the royals and no public revolt like Spencer had hoped.

From whats been reported it doesn't even look like they have had the huge security scares they were hoping for so that RAVEC would give them back the motorcade. Its all been a massive flop so far

"Will be"...they are definitely in the zone already

Unless theres been loads that hasn't been reported (its MM, she leaks what shes had for breakfast to the press) I don't see how two paps and a bit of traffic on the school run changes anything?

@Hamsterwheeloffortunei thought security would be standard for your private home.

Half term hols start at 4pm on Friday next week (16th) for two weeks. Cue: IG reels of bare feet on the beach in summer frocks while it pees down with rain in the U.K.

Also the "AI is bad" speech that was cut short by a tech fail, and a transatlantic talk and plane jump which were the bookends to another talk on the evils of plane travel, which we all learnt that plane travel is bad for the earth but not PH who was sent "all over the place by granny".

And he got teary "as a father" about the dangers posed by AI but all of us are 🧐 at the multiple moves of country and schools for the hamlets and then the various non royal engagements meaning PH was AWOL from dad duty annnnd then he told meg to get a job.

Indeed but they will be an awful lot worse and will be seen absolutely everywhere with bells and whistles

More security is needed for non working royal but still royal private citizens of international public interest with styles in abeyance

I agree absolutely that it has to be more than a coincidence that their hasty return came hot on the heels of their Althrop visit 😎

Why would he announce he is marking it privately ? I mean surely the whole idea of private is that people don’t know ?
Or am I missing something ?

Rob Shuter said it ‘may’ happen aka a load of old shite he made up.

No they won't. Even if RAVEC decide they need some sort of security, it's not going to involve motorcades and flashing lights. More likely a discreet plain clothes RPO armed with a taser.

It won't be private. He'll tip off photographers. Why even announce he's marking it "privately" ?

Because he has to announce everything! He has to live in the public eye

Well he is presumably going to publish his November engagements so everyone will know he is marking the day privately… that’s assuming he publishes his October engagements at some point which he doesn’t yet appear to have done. Still we are only 6 days in but as a FT dad he probably won’t have many ‘public engagements’ over half term.

I wonder if there are any charities etc still wanting him to get involved in their work?

Absolutely. They are gathering content for Diana documentary and were hoping to piggy back off CS book but it hasn't been that well received

I wonder if Harry drops a fake bribe into the conversation: ‘and in return, when we’re back in England for visits, you might join us in the Royal Enclosure at Ascot or something?’ All bollocks, but drops the ‘royal’ reminder in there along with the grandiosity.

Love how Meghan does the glitzy shmoozing but makes ‘her prince’ do the actual scrounging phone calls, demeaning himself.

Ive been reading on X that she is nominated for a daytime Emmy award for WLM. Producers can nominate their own projects, and the daytime Emmys honour daytime programming including soap operas, talk shows, game shows, and children’s content. (according to google)

So its like an NTA but just for daytime TV.

She will treat this like the Oscars. The award show isn't even being televised but brace yourselves for a massive inappropriate dress, Instagram winners reel and that fake hand on the chest eyes closed laugh on the red carpet.

She really does take 'dress for the job you want not for the job you have' to a whole new level

Were the emmys not in August ?

Or, "dress for the job you had, willingly gave up, but still want deep down"

No that was the primetime Emmys. The ones that make the headlines

This is the daytime Emmys

H needs to do a Profumo.

Excuse the wiki excerpt, but it’s pithy:

Shortly after his resignation, [John] Profumo was invited to work at Toynbee Hall as a volunteer by Walter Birmingham who was a warden there. Toynbee Hall is a charity based in the East End of London, and Profumo continued to work there for the rest of his life, becoming Toynbee Hall's chief fundraiser, and using his political skills and contacts to raise large sums of money. All this work was done as a volunteer, since Profumo was able to live on his inherited wealth.

His wife, the actress Valerie Hobson also devoted herself to charity until her death in 1998. Profumo's charity work redeemed his reputation.

I mean, it’s uncanny how good that roadmap is …

And Meghan's got him by the baubles
