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

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

This threat to sue is a new one, no?

And mega points for “claque of praetorian guards”. Quite creative and much higher brow then than the normal visitor happening by.

I am not particularly a fan. I like his work with Invictus.

I do though hate nastiness dressed up as some sort of moral high ground.

I doubt if Sherborne's up for a lost cause considering that the last one cost his principal millions.

I’ve never been in a claque before. Such fun!

i love it! Claque Claque!

Nobody is obliged to tailor threads to your preference. If you don't like the tone of the thread, by all means don't post.

How did the management team react when you reported the thread?

I am responding to posts sent to me.
I posted a view. I did and have not attacked anyone’s individual post on the thread about the subject matter.

I am astonished by the rate of reaction. It is not normal. Nor I think is this thread.

I am not particularly a fan either. Of the Hapless Pair of course.

I hate liars who seek to hurt others with their lies with every fibre of my being.

He’s clearly not had enough though has he, he’s come crawling back to salty island to a crowd of 200 including bussed in children, despite all the hype and publicity that’s all they can manage.

But your accusing these threads of "damaged those discussed " so I think it's fair to bring up all those damaged by Harry & Meghans "nastiness dressed up as some sort of moral high ground" to use your own words!

I really don't care what you think is 'normal'.

Why are you posting multiple times on a thread which bothers you? Like I said, report the thread it you think it violates site guidelines. If not, maybe find something which appeals to you more.

Anyway headlines in the Mail - great for the brand and with Christmas coming up don't forget to get those As Ever orders in early to avoid disappointment. I'm hoping for this in my stocking

Err, actually not.
Show us the wide angle for H&Ms visit.
William's was an unpublicised event, while H&M was announced 2 weeks ago and they bused in schoolchildren.

Visiting the city in December 2017, the couple were greeted by thousands of people outside the Nottingham Contemporary and National Justice Museum, attending a World AIDS Day event at the latter.

What a contrast today is from their visit in December 2017.

'Claque' AND 'Praetorian Guard.' I'm not sure the two terms are actually a phrase that works as they're two distinct things with different meanings and functions. In fact 'claque' is more appropriate as a descriptor of HaM supporters.

Just to mention this is very near to me, and a friend who works on the area's industrial estate tells me they and several other businesses were visited by someone (PR staff? They didn't know ...,) who said excitedly that the couple were coming and did they want to come and watch

So it appears the schoolchildren weren't the only ones being dragooned in ...

Amazing how these posts plop in out of nowhere just as H+M appear in front of a disappointing crowd, what a (literally) incredible coincidence.

The Duke of Windsor as first in line to throne was very popular much more so than his younger brother George. Of course very few people knew of his affairs particularly with Wallis as the UK media didn’t report anything about it.
His generous “allowance” on abdicating was on condition that he lived abroad - he was made Governor of Bermuda at first then went to live near Paris.
The RF and Government realised living in Uk would be a real problem.
He became more unpopular quite quickly due to his links to Hitler before and possibly during the war. KG became very popular relatively quickly.
One difference that stands out with H is that he hasn’t been given an allowance to live in California perhaps if he had been we wouldn’t have had Oprah, Spare etc - conditions could have been imposed but too late now.

I was just looking at the ugly green crowd barriers and thought they looked cheap and not what you'd expect a a 'royal event'. You can see the difference here. Also, Meghan clearly has no minion to carry the flowers for her. The huge difference in crowds aside, this just screams 'wannabe royal' event. Why on earth are they doing this? It's so bizarre.

Too much sugar for me.

It’s been tried before and failed miserably, good luck, you’re going to need it.

Those ‘barriers’ are usually put up to protect people from holes.

Ewwww it gets cringing, I bet their furious it turned out to be such a non event,😂 the comments on Facebook this morning are gold! People are bewildered to say the least "but they ain't royal no more"😁

I think they do and both were an Italianate thing - one in the Roman era and the other in the 19th century Italain opera houses. Both sought to protect that which they held dear in a semi-violent way - militaria in the first case and boisterous applause or booing in the second.

Yes, exactly. They look like barriers on roadworks, not to keep the royals from being mobbed by their adoring fans! The whole 'visit' is just so D list!
