H&M are currently doing a ‘Royal’ walkabout thing in Nottingham.

[SpottyAlpaca]

A crowd has turned out to see them. It’s currently being covered live on Sky News. Why on earth would anyone do this?

They aren’t working royals. They are just a pair of chancers who have scuttled back to Britain with their tails between their legs because they have died on their arses in the US. And now people are tugging their forelocks to them here.

People really are absolute fucking morons.

Eat,poo and sleep like the rest of us.

Surely that applies to everyone? So no-one should mock anyone else.

People get reasons?

Your right, it was in 2025 for $50,000.

Constantrunner stated a few hundred thousand

I stated the estimated donation for one days worth of tea sales being given Malawis charity. So a different donation.

There are varying estimates with regards to the tea donation.

Thank goodness for that comma!

Let's eat, Grandma!

Because there's absolutely nothing royal about their behaviour. They betrayed the Royal Family....accused them of being racists...escaped on the Freedom flight.....so if all that were true why on earth are they back trying to now muscle back in? They are liars with zero integrity.

These 2 lie and betray to boot....so way lower than the average person!

You clearly didn't watch or understand that Oprah interview 🙄

Absolutely 👏👏

Omg. Do you really not understand why?!

I had to laugh at the comparison to Obama 😂

I can’t find anything resembling that.

We will likely never know because apparently AsEver sales figures are not readily available.

I hope it is the higher figure.

I suspect it may be nearer what came up on a quick google.

The poster isn't directly comparing Harry and Meghan to Barack Obama. The point being made is that there are plenty of public figures who are not working Royals who are followed by people that hope to catch a glimpse of them in real life.

Yes - I also loved the Obama ref. So funny when the trailer for that grief nonsense is pure Partridge - “you wouldn’t expect to have a prince sitting here talking about chakras” 😂

HaM can but wish!

Yes, a capable, intelligent man who achieved high office through endeavour and married a very clever, determined and resilient woman. Not quite the same!

No, that is not "half in, half out." Those are privileges associated with the position—politicians have similar ones...
"Half in, half out" refers to the possibility of conducting personal business—favoring certain companies, which is detrimental to the Crown, that in such matters must be neutral—or entering into deals with companies that have a questionable track record, which is also harmful.

You have to be joking?
the possibility of conducting personal business—favoring certain companies, which is detrimental to the Crown, that in such matters must be neutral
Andrew - trade - selling trade info - his mother our late queen and head of state lobbied hard to keep in that position.
entering into deals with companies that have a questionable track record, which is also harmful - Again, Andrew - trade

Exactly! That is why he was pressured to resign from his position as Trade Envoy.

There aren’t many security conscious celebs who advertise their schedule well in advance, then still need to bus in schoolchildren to boost the paltry crowds.

But then Obama doesn’t have to try so hard because he has nothing to prove. He’s already widely known and respected, he’s clever, rich and successful, and has top notch security provided for him.

They didn't bus in kids. The charities cater for kids and teenagers.

Yes I did

@simpsonthecat
The potential private business activities of the royals are governed by what are known as the "Luce Directives," which are so strict that they make any personal business venture outside of the Crown practically impossible

Hahaha
That pesky milk advert for the Chinese by Peter Phillips complete with Palace in the background and footman serving him a glass of milk must have slipped through the net then 😅
Ditto his £150 hampers for QE2's birthday on the Mall where he trousered .hundreds of thousands for his Events company.
He then unsuccessfully tried to put an ice rink at Kensington Palace for another company he set up but it didn't happen because of some security reasons
Zara/Mike sold pics of their firstborn to Hello on a 13 page spread for a massive amount.. those that query she is not a working Royal ...the couple are when they choose to be, royal garden parties etc. Half in half out.
So please don't tell me they do not cash in, they all do. H&M are just more open about it.

There is a huge, huge difference, hahaha...
Peter Phillips and his sister are private citizens. They hold no royal titles, do not represent the King, and do not receive any allowances from the Crown.
H&M wanted to pursue their own private business dealings while they were representatives of the King—that is, while they were working royals...
Working royals are compensated when they carry out engagements on behalf of the Crown.
That is not the case for Peter Phillips and the Tindalls...

Peter Phillips and his sister are private citizens. They hold no royal titles, do not represent the King, and do not receive any allowances from the Crown.

No difference from Harry and Meghan so why are you worked up about what H&M do then? Fair's fair
FYI Zara etc do represent the king at times because they attend royal golden parties at the request of William. That has happened on a number of times

I would imagine they all receive allowances from Charles anyway.

It's all half in half out AFAIC. They all trade on their royal connections. Peter Phillips advertising milk to the Chinese with the background of a Palace and footman bowing and serving him milk is not cashing in? Give over lol
