H&M PR disasters 52: Roundabouts and walkabouts

[bluegreygreen]

The continuing story of the Sussexes and their PR issues.

We all know they’re not cheap to bankroll, they take and demand more and more, for zero results

i can’t imagine last week has added any money to the Invictus coffers,

Angelina Jolie started it at the Oscars when she was still a partner of Brad Pitt.

No, they've found each other. They're very similar and both are really desperate to be famous and rich royalty.

Think Bognor Regis, second word only, replace last syllable with the last syllable of 'ardent'. Was that cryptic enough to stay under the radar? 😄

I share your hopes, divorce can be so damaging to children and those children have got enough emotional baggage waiting for them to deal with in the future. I sincerely hope it is a happy marriage for the children's sake. I suppose all the constant drama, upheaval and scheming must either cause immense stress or really bond them together.

He was very distressed apparently. He did mention asking a colleague to write him a prescription 😂

It's poetic.

Yes, whenever you remember that one of Harry's stories is the great trauma he has any time he sees a camera or hears a camera click ...

PDA’s do not automatically indicate a loved up couple

There were subtle looks between them caught on camera that indicated a loved up couple. There was also a picture of him with his arm around Meghan and the vibes it sent out were the same as the vibes sent out in their first trip to Nottingham. It looked genuine and warm.

Just breaking news in the DT - Sentebale's case v Harry being put on hold due to concern for legal costs should the charity lose.

So, HAM's kids won't spend this Xmas with extended family ? If they continue as they are, they won't see them next Xmas either

Absolutely 💯. I'm always suspicious because it's so performative. Look at us and how loved up we are! It's like Meghan telling us how much Harry loves her. Why? Why does she need to tell us that?
It makes me think 🤔... something isn't right, it's over the top and for the audience.

Or ever

The best thing the wrf (and I use that term loosely!) can do is keep on ignoring/not commenting.
If they do comment, it will be weaponised against them by HaM and their rather odd fans.
Nottingham isn't that far from me and not looking it's best atm due to large demolition projects in the centre of town...it feels rather appropriate for theirwhatever-the-hell-that-was visit, tbh.
It's all so....tawdry of them.
I wonder who they will see when they go back to California for Xmas...Doria?
H will be seething with envy that Ws and his cousins dc will all be there.
He has no insight at all into the results of his own behaviour.
It's horribly fascinating.

Assume they will be with Doria if she hasn't been ghosted yet. Maybe children will get a chance to see their friends they didn't get to say goodbye to

Remember when she gave a talk at that bookstore in Montecito, when OW walked in halfway through? It was obvious she wasn’t a book lover then. She was trying to tell some tale about escaping from the paparazzi by hiding in a bookshop in NYC. Absolute bs.

Um…….

Thank you for that.

Having read it through quickly, my initial thoughts are:

It's written by Victoria Ward, who is a member of the Sussex WhatsApp group.

The only solid piece of news in the article is this Both parties have agreed an extension of time for the filing of both the acknowledgement of service and the defence, meaning that for now, the particulars of claim cannot be made public.

The article does not include any comment from Sentebale, despite putting them in the headline, and does not mention asking them for comment.

We know that Sentebale was not using charity money for the case. This is not mentioned in the article.

It would be good to have @AutumnCrowInTheTrafficFlow's thoughts, as I know she is following the case closely.

If you’ll forgive a Strictly reference, it looks like they both feel the need to be “in hold”. MM needs H’s hand to steady her because she’s wobbly on her heels. (If you doubt this, watch a few episodes of Suits, there are lots of long corridor walks where her feet were all over the place).

H looks like he’s on the brink of a panic attack, he anchors himself by touching her.

I find the PDAs very unsettling, to me they signal insecurity rather than devotion.

I genuinely thought Harry looked tired & weary, it was the Meghan show & he was just a bit part...
