Ham pr disasters 64! …….Prince Charming…Prince Charming…..ridicule is nothing to be scared of ! …..

[jeffgoldblum]

A lack of humour and self reflection is not helping.

100%

He knew how it would play out.

Possibly - the met got the crazy letter from a crazy person. It was checked out and 'confirmed' it was in fact a crazy person making crazy allegations. Ham were told and it was ignored therefore. In sum - it was not believed and so they did nothing.

Who knows what happened to motivate her to send him a letter in Dec 2025. And after that is chaos.

She royally (eek) fcked up with her immediate letter when junior shocked everyone in Oct 26, and fckd up whatever plans they had.

Many many unknowns.

She also couldn't accept being below the late Queen, who she quite clearly regarded as a little old lady to be patronised (few will forget her exaggerated stage bow and sneaky sideways smirk to dim Harry).

The timing could not have been worse for her, it's true. But if it had been handled properly in 2019, she wouldn't be in the position she's now. The institution must really regret not looking into her background.

Inevitably, I look at my PR career and think about what HaM could have done differently. In senior roles, I have been privy to a whole range of 'difficult' issues bubbling under the surface that colleagues have told me about so that I can work on a plan for handling them if and when the time comes.

If M had sought advice, the Met would have been followed up, she would be distant from the story, and people would feel compassion for her.

'Collaboration' with HM.

Yes, she really didn't get the HMTLQ and the RF, did she? I watched the queen's funeral and MM looked stunned at the pageantry and marching and public grief - this is the hierarchy we thought our presence has the power to upset?

I've seen videos of her chatting away to no one before, so if you just caught her on camera it looked like she was with someone having a great time.

Is this something younger actresses are taught to do to look like they're involved?

I'd have thought quietly listening with interesting would be better.

Harry looks rough but maybe just a bad photo

They are back in the UK, they are trying to do "service", they want to do social causes stuff, yet they gave up the best platform for doing that, along with the state security they crave and the ability to raise their kids within the royal family. In other words, they are living in the UK trying to do the things they could have done so much more effectively and impactfully if they could have controlled their tetchiness a bit.

Pretty sure Meghan had no interest in doing “service” - charitable works have just been a means for publicity and honing a profile of being an important “good” person. With, probably, a side order of profiteering. Not sure Harry was ever that interested in “service” either, he just didn’t know what else to do, that being the family business and all that.

The funniest (is that the right word?) one was when she was seated alongside Serena Williams's mother at a tennis match.

We don't know they didn't, which was why PW might have thought that PH should take his time getting to know her and her family.

Edited for meaning

I heard a clip on the radio with him talking about protecting children from social media, not his own children of course.

I would hope she did tell him.

That’s a hell of a thing to keep quiet about and a hell of a thing to carry round on your own.

I’d be more inclined to think the pair of them were sat right on that and the only stuff showing on his face (and her lack of strength or sudden frailty about it all) is because everyone else knows what they were sat on.

They have been so full of shite up to now my sympathy has been eaten by my cynicism.

💯

Perfectly put.

They always seem to bounce back though. MSM is not reporting HAM's failures

'The institution must really regret not looking into her background.'

There is zero doubt that the authorities / MI5/6 didn't look into her background. It is what they do. The issue is that the RF didn't have any choice except advise Harry to stop / take it slowly. But we all know how that went down.

There was a story doing the rounds last week (Rob Shuter, so probably eyewash) that there was no vetting because the MIGS didn't want to upset H or be accused of racism.

If there was vetting, it shows how difficult H must be to manage as he was given permission to marry M despite what must have been uncovered. QEII, according to H: 'Well I suppose I'll have to say yes.'

Sorry for the delay responding.

I’ve been out getting my winter jabs - where I got accused of not looking frail enough for them…

Seems to be the buzzword this week.

It's a matter of national security. There was vetting.

As a citizen of the UK, I'm relieved.

Don’t they just, there’s a saying that after the world has been obliterated by nuclear war, two things will survive, cockroaches and Cher, I think we can add HAM to that list.

I suppose it doesn't cover the implications of marrying super trash, with no threat to national security.

• and cats

And a bad video...he doesn't look well at all. As other have already said if a member of my team looked as unwell as he does today I'd be sending him home.

It's November in Britain. Lots of us look rough 😅

Frail is a new buzzword.
