Ham pr disasters 48! …a masterclass in grief grifting…

[jeffgoldblum]

Still interested, still not bored….a small request please 🙏…can we try to keep criticism to actions and behaviour and rather than getting personal.😁

He only thinks about/mentions the Forces when it suits him, e.g. rattling a tin for Invictus or bigging up his "service".

Outside of that i don't think he gives them any thought at all.

Those really expensive trousers are why I hate fashion even though I used to work in it. Those trousers are hideous - give me a pair of skinny jeans any day 😂

I think George's first weekend home was after just two weeks.

I'm not sure if this was a specific dig at George, I think it's just Harry being his usual unaware self. The idea is that Harry as a parent/husband won't be away from home for more than 10 days. I don't think kids are expected to have a work-family life balance in the same way. I've read about actors having a two-week rule, so it's not something he and Meghan invented.

I do wonder what it is that keeps Harry away from his family for so long, however. It's not as though he has a "job" with requirements that mean he needs to be away from them for so long.

IMO, h has dealt with his trauma. He's just monetising it. He's a shameless grifter

She is trying to look interested in Malala whilst also checking to see if the camera is on her. Shallow as a puddle

She looks as if she’s trying to hypnotise Malala. Maybe Malala said no to whatever M asked? We know she’ll have asked for something.

Agree!

Agree completely, to whit his absence from the Deal
memorial service because he had a more important date with Mickey Mouse 🙄

From X. I don’t recognize when the other photo was taken so it could be AI but the poses are identical. Given Claridges is huge and much more private inside it seems like a total set up for publicity that they said goodbye on the street. If M organised this she made sure to get a shot just like the one with the lady in pink.

It looks like she's wearing Queen Maxima's cast offs. ifykyk

I wonder if MM dared to venture into London, because by meeting Malala she got to grift onto her police security? Normally, I'd give my head a wobble for being so cynical, but with MM, it wouldn't surprise me.

I mean, it's all of three months since she said London was too dangerous to visit, so why not find someone who DOES get police security and use them while getting your pap shots? Even better if it's a woman who is a genuine victim of violence so she can cosplay being a fine philanthropist at the same time.

Anyone else think Meghan is really disappointed that she hasn't been 'hounded' by 'paps' and that the kids' school hasn't been divulged yet? Because I have no doubt that the location is widely known in press circles.

Yes to the first point, and it is to the second. But the British press have an agreement that they won't invade the privacy of DC, royal or otherwise. W&C reward them for this with giving them staged shots at the beginning of the new school year and at other times when they are prepared to let the DC be photographed in circumstances carefully controlled by them.

The image on the right is from May, when Meghan was in Geneva for the Lost Screen Memorial.

He's banging on about having been to war twice....he's not the first, he won't be the last

Has he never paid any attention to the experiences of veterans of either of the World Wars, who were away fighting for years?

I'm sure there was a golden bed on poles with lots of burly men to carry it once she got inside. À la Cleopatra.

Carry on Cleo is more their level, surely. H thinks they've all got it in for him.

Oh look, the hand on the back pose.

Ffs- I think I have those trousers! (Boden Regent) I am however 5’ 10….. and I can only just wear them without heels!

Just when you thought you couldn’t despise two people any more…..

I think I have those trousers!

They actually look good on the model there - but still not very practical for every day wear. How/when do you wear them?

So MM is wearing Boden, not RL? That's a bit of a publicity blunder, if so!

I don't think there's any specific "agreement" between the press and all famous parents not to take photos of their kids. No one would find it acceptable for the press to publish paparazzi photos of children in private moments, especially if they are at school. The press supposedly has its own code of conduct and if there is any kind of "agreement" it's between the press and the government, with the threat of legislation to control the press if it steps too far out of line on these kinds of privacy issues, especially relating to children.

The shots of William and Catherine's kids aren't "staged", they are obviously posed photos for public release. That doesn't mean they're staged as in faked to capture a specific moment while the people in the photo are supposedly unaware even though they know there are cameras there and may even have called the photographers (e.g. the photos of Meghan at Claridges).

If anything, William and Catherine don't bother with the press for posed photographs anymore, especially after the press hullabaloo when Catherine was ill and the hysteria about her Mothering Sunday social media post. I think they just post their own photos onto their social media accounts and don't even bother distributing them to the media anymore.

Not practical at all! I think I liked the idea rather than the reality- worn once to dinner. Amazing I kept them stain free tbh. On the Vinted pile they go!!

Maybe she’s raiding the wardrobe of Ian Wace’s wife as hers haven’t been shipped over yet?

She owes Ralph Lauren an apology. Somewhere RL & co. are gritting their teeth but are too classy to.post a rebuttal.

It's her "I care, I am centring you, you are not alone" gesture that Harry or someone must have taught her. It just doesn't work because it's obviously not sincere and her entire aim with it is to centre herself and promote herself as a great humanitarian, rather than to help the other person.

Prince William and his sons rock the Ralph Lauren look.
