Ham pr disasters 50! …will Thursday be the start of something big ? …or just another damp squib!

[jeffgoldblum]

It’s all happening! 3 charity visits coming up!

Archie & Lily have missed out on all the trappings of being a royal child due to their parents.. they don't even know their first cousins..

Ham have misjudged almost every action for years which is why they are so fascinating imo. They really believed they were the only stars in the RF and would be begged to rejoin.

Get aaht of my palace, you two! I don' wanna see you around 'ere evahhh again!

I've read several articles about William's Homeward lately. This one talks about the 57 million pounds raised for the 6 locations. Another spike about how local businesses, includeding Ikea, we're working on job training and hiring to help homeless people.

I personally think he's doing my more good networking and checking in with people in his initiative than standing around opening a supermarket.

Brilliant! 🤩

The Eastenders theme has given me the opportunity to post my favourite meme!

Meryl Streep is an amazing actress , but she doesn’t get as many headlines as Meghan, by our new posters logic, that means Meghan is a better actress 🤷

I'm actually not able😂that is brilliant!
Eastenders wasn't quite the TV show Meghan was hoping for when the Freedom Flight returned but beggers can't be choosers!

Weren't Ikea were found to be sourcing timber illegally?

Quite surprising that hasn't stopped the former CEO being a big shot in Earthshot.

I do have some sympathy for Archie and Lilibet.
I don't know what will happen in the next few months/years, but if there is no reconciliation, as they get older they will surely start asking questions, if they haven't already. Other schoolchildren will start asking them questions, too.
I think Harry has come crawling back, in part, to try and ingratiate himself and Meghan with the rest of the family for the sake of their children.
They (H&M) have behaved very badly here in my opinion.
Edit to add: I'm sure this has been mentioned already, but I haven't read all the threads!

😂

Archhhhaaay!!

My impression is that most corporations and governments are doing something illegal. It doesn't excuse them but we still have to deal with them. The consumer, and not just William, should call them out and hit them in the pocket. All those new Ikea employees can protest.

More of a shitcom really.

It’s pointless as we don’t know those kids or have any connection to them.
I think HAM will never ever be allowed near WACs children. There will be no invites ever. Allowing Catherine to be called racist was an incredibly stupid move, his weak backtracking on this was too little too late.

The Homewards initiative is doing some really good work with some solid partnerships. Lloyds bank are providing finance to the tune of £50m (initially) and the likes of Ikea, NatWest and Pret providing training and jobs.

I really hope it turns around the lives of many who find themselves homeless, often through no fault of their own.

@BemusedAmerican I read your links on the other thread, thank you.

They will never be invited to anything, the fear would always be there what info will H&M try & wrangle out of A&L if they ever saw their cousins.
W&C are no fools & I think they are both very steely underneath, they will protect their kids from H&M at all costs.

They will leverage the kids of course but hopefully they'll be ignored.

I don't know how Nottingham is going to work for them with no walkabout. It's certainly not what they want

I’m expecting a cheering flag waving crowd……rented by the hour.

I imagine it’ll comprise another captive audience of young people and children having cameras shoved in their faces, Harry ‘pranking’ a child by not shaking hands properly, and some generously proportioned bodyguards shoving people out of the way for no discernible reason while M looks smug and H twists about like he’s on point in the Mekong Delta.

It's ridiculous cos playing at being royals...

I wonder if local school children will be drafted in.

Are there any good roundabouts in Nottingham?

I suppose Meg could stand by a bus stop again and pretend that the queue of passengers is actually a crowd of people come to see her.

With her knowledge of all things camera and angles, she needs to get herself a big handbag and fill it full of Pontipines and Wottingers. A bit of skilled arranging and she’s in a mob. She could even get them to cheer.
