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!

I wouldn't dignify engaging with that poster as a 'discussion.' Those are generally an exchange of opinions and ideas, not the same post repeated with all the monotony of a Salvation Army drum. Plus personal insults.

No one has to wish for anything. It is the law that he would be Regent if George became King tonight. It is just a fact.

That would absolutely break them. The titles are everything to them. Also their fanbase. Hence all the strange posts, perhaps they fear it will happen?
Neither Meghan nor Harry would cope and I mean that literally.

You didn’t seem to say that to the poster who said that the PoW would become Regent?

Today may have been a success in HAM's mind and they celebrating tonight but reality is, it's not what Meg wants. She blatantly dumped these charities (Trevor R confirmed this) as no doubt felt it wasn't glamorous enough. We had "sheepish, sweet Meg" skin on today as she's desperate. It's simple not about supporting her hapless hubby. She's hoping it's a step up in getting some sympathy/ publicity

Today was so unglamorous looking (no offence to any Nottingham residents). Graffiti and no flashing lights.

What more is there to be said? She didn't sound as she did when on OW or in the engagement interview. IMO.

Do you mean that her accent has changed slightly? Maybe the intonation and speech pattern has become more British?
I wouldn't be surprised by that really it does happen when you spend a lot of time with someone who has a different accent.

Or do you mean that she didn't sound as confident as she had on OW, as she complained about the RF and all the terrible things she said they had done to make her feel uncomfortable?

I am not his fan. I cannot stand him or his vile wife. Your "you are a fan" response is very far off the mark. I want him stripped of all his statuses. Which is far more than most of the regular posters on these threads, who seem to think looking the other way while he makes a mockery of the Sandringham agreement is just fine, to the extent they will even argue that he should remain on the royal website so as not to upset him. Yet, apparently the appetite will be there to usurp his constitutionally enshrined position overnight should a regency situation arise. And presumably, you think he'll have no legal recourse because he's a shit head.

I suspect you're in the minority on that and it would be very damaging to the monarchy to push through such a measure out of spite, when the likelihood that Harry or his descendants will ever ascend to the throne is zilch. The monarchy survives because it it a cautious and conservative institution. Lashing out just to punish would completely undermine its credibility and stability. At the same time, it's also a very creative and flexible institution if there is a problem that needs to be resolved. In the extremely unlikely situation that Harry may be in a position to become King, I'm sure the monarchy and parliament will find a way to circumvent that.

The Royal family, like the public, know that HaM are shameless. The letter was unlikely ever to have put a stop to HAM's determination to do just as they please, as we have seen today. If the letter's purpose was to stop them in their tracks, it has failed. I see it as a sort of insurance policy, to give the institution a lever to intervene with charities and public sector organisations if HaM take things too far, and with HaM themselves.

Although visits like today's risk the monarchy looking weak, they also make HaM look foolish. HaM will see today as a success though, because they brought out a crowd of sorts and got lots of press coverage.

On what legal basis?

They certainly would. I would go as far as to say that contingency planning has already happened.

It's a success for them because they're treated royally.
That's everything to them. The status, the crowds.

I don't think the letter was about influencing HAM's behaviour. Its purpose was to publicise the fact that they do not represent the King and anything they do is in their capacity as private citizens.

I doubt HAM think a few dozen people is a success.

Harry as Prince Regent? It would just never happen.

😂😂😂

I was replying to a question posed on this thread about who would become Regent if George became King. Someone incorrectly stated it would be the PoW. I did not realise that factual information would receive such a hostile reaction.

Lady Muck optics today, I thought. Gracious Meghan in her voluminous Joseph coat against a backdrop of graffitied brick walls pressing the flesh with a two-deep audience restrained by green plastic barriers.

Weren't posters saying that about Harry and Meghan returning to the UK to live a couple of months ago?

Yes. That's exactly the same.

It's pretty clear these threads are not here for open opinion or a variety of opinions or for non- regular posters. The poster to whom you replied is a regular, and therefore allowed to say something without challenge, or accusation of derailment, or accusation of wishing death on the Wales family, or accusation of being a Sussex fan for quoting the law.

It was quite the image. The important thing?
They were treated as royalty.

What do we think their next royal jaunt will be?

Yes they were, but how is that the same?😵‍💫

Because George is 18 in five years’ time. I agree it is unlikely to happen.

If the objection was to bore me shitless?

Congratulations. 🏆
