Ham pr disasters 54! ….the relentless reconciliation edition…

Apologies for my tardiness! , the last thread finished unexpectedly!!! 😱

Telegraph:

‘Sources close to the Sussexes told The Telegraph that the Royalty and Specialist Protection Unit within the Metropolitan Police shared the letter with the Duchess, and she was assured that UK authorities were pursuing the investigation.
The Telegraph understands the letter was sent to the Duchess in the summer of 2018, after her wedding to Prince Harry in May.’

People are getting the Meghan timeline wrong. According to her statement, the letter went to the Met and then the Met contacted her.

Let's see what the Met say........

Surely this must be true that the Palace and the met were aware of the allegations as that can easily be proved or disproved?

None of you know them,

Do people still seriously come out with this teenage guff? if people didn't post about people they don't know, 99.999% of social media wouldn't exist.

Who hasn't?

I can't either. Lately the BBC have been very pro-HAM in their reporting choices, and in this instance I don't see how it fulfils that aim.
The one thing this might do though is explain the hurried move back to the UK from Megan's perspective. That's puzzled me all along, as I've posted several times before, because I can see why Harry would want to return, but not why Meghan would, and I can't understand why Meghan would give in when she previously held all the cards with the kids being resident in the USA. If there was some advantage to her not being in the USA when this came out, I can sort of understand it, though I'm still not clear on what that advantage would actually be.

I am wondering about this as well

Sounds like fun - can I come ?

😂😂

Also why didn’t the Markles in the US know of the allegations? Why has it taken this discovery by TMJ?? I presume Meghan has nieces and nephews, possibly great nieces and nephews?? Have they been left vulnerable?

Hard to prove a negative though. If the Met or the Palace are to say they didn't receive any letter, they can't prove they didn't...

It would be a much nicer place for one thing. You can post about people you don't know without needing to be horrible about them. Probably how it was when it first started but all good things get tainted.

What, so certain people are above criticism? Because they're royal? I'll be critical of people's words and actions, no matter what their status.

Unfortunately I can't remember who it is but one royal commentator has been saying for several weeks that there is a story that H&M are hoping won't reach the press

I'm wondering whether this is the story or whether there's another one to come?

Oh it's just used to shut down discussion. I do wonder how these people vote if they limit themselves so much.

My opinion is that people shouldn’t be allowed to muddy the waters if it suits their narrative re Harry and Meghan. There are very sick people out there who will think nothing of using the alleged abuse in order to make Harry and Meghan start smelling of Roses.

Absolutely. I was reacting against a post that put that on the US authorities.

But, if the Met were informed - as MM's statement avers - then the assumption is that they were informed by a police force in the relevant jurisdiction that was making enquiries.

The only other thing I can think of, is they left the US for the UK because they knew this was coming out and thought they’d maybe get wider protection from the RF, using their resources/MIGS etc to help deal with it?

Right now Liam is firefighting on his own and it’s been a bloody disaster- dragged the Met into it, revealed she’s known for years and never said anything.

But not Rose we don't mention her !

Someone online pointed out she didn’t need hard evidence to speak out on her father.

In the Oprah interview, all she had to do was allude to racism allegations. She didn’t actually say anything: she was out to destroy and knew how to do it, let Oprah do the talking.

BUT she couldn’t to allude to allegations about her father??

Thank you @bluegreygreen

That’s exactly what I meant.

Except alot is speculation and gossip. I never said it would be perfectly nice I never said you couldn't criticse but even then when you do criticise it doesn't need to be done in nasty way.

So long as you have all the facts go ahead except here we can see people didn't have all the facts did they, especially when they made vile comments about why she went no contact with her father. Are those people apologising for being wrong, making a misake in making those comments. Surely now knowing what you do its a good thing she distanced herself and her children or will you maintain that its still an awful thing she did.

That makes sense. It must have been known about by the press (and more) before now.

H🤣🤣🤣
