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

A lack of humour and self reflection is not helping.

I'm surprised it hasn't been done already tbh

I think the only person who could genuinely see how utterly catastrophic this would all become, is Samantha Markle. She told everybody at the beginning.

For a while perhaps the firm were thinking it was recoverable in some way. But no way back now.

I sincerely hope they don’t as they will be compared to the Wales DC and that’s not fair on any of the children .

Tick tock?

11/11. He'll be in Brussels. A quick Flanders phot op?

I disagree with this.

no need at all to publicise this if it genuinely was a private visit.

Firstly I don’t think Joe Public much thinks or cares about what Harry is doing unless he makes a point of talking about it in the media.

Secondly, undoubtedly if he hadn’t arranged a photographer, the news that he was there would still have leaked out on social media. Likely with some passer by taking a shot on their iPhone.

Thirdly, he’d already announced he would be marking it privately. If anyone questioned it, that’s all his PR had to reiterate. And if he was doing it because he cared about the occasion rather than his own public image, then some social media chatter about whether he had or hadn’t attended a ceremony wouldn’t bother him because he’d be doing it for the cause not for his own self interest.

Arranging a photographer means it’s more important for him to be seen to do a good deed than to actually do it.

Remember last year he partied with the Kardashians? I think he only cares about Remembrance when it comes with positive publicity for him.

It’s like the play doh barber set I used to have. I could make it grow then chops it off ad infinitum.

Gah, the alliteration! The writer was having fun there.

Typo

I do wonder with all of this coming out about her father, if someone will decide to have a deep dive on Meghans past. After all she wasn’t vetted before she married Harry allegedly.

Rumours that he gotbrough with the prostitues in Afghanistan, to the point where he was banned from the brothel.

Why on earth was she not vetted? Considering she was marrying into the RF.

That's absolutely horrible 😓

That story has been circulating for years on X along with photos of an ( allegedly) pregnant teenage Meghan .
As my old Mum used to say - the truth will out.

I wonder if he needed planning permission for the collar.

It’s unthinkable that MI5/6 didn’t do an investigation and I imagine that HMLQ was updated but Harry was determined to marry Meghan and had he been told no , the accusations of racism would have been explosive.

Of course she must have been vetted to a point. But as discussed before - QE2 couldn't very well stop him - rock hard place. Racist! calls from millions around the world if she had.

Although just how much they could've uncovered from the usa who knows.

Secondly, undoubtedly if he hadn’t arranged a photographer, the news that he was there would still have leaked out on social media. Likely with some passer by taking a shot on their iPhone.

Totally agree, there was absolutely no need to arrange for a Sun photographer to attend, someone could have posted a picture on SM or no doubt the Brackley local press would have taken his picture which would have played much better for him and wouldn’t have looked so self serving, why are the HAMs and their PR so utterly useless? A five year old could have worked that one out.

Heard this too. Sam M seems to have a lot of info. If any of the rumours are true, Meg seems to have lived a hell of a life !!

Napoleon Bonaparte.

Sorry to mention politics but ham PR is as atrocious as Labour Party PR.

Forgetting my manners again! Thanks again @jeffgoldblum for your sterling work on these threads!

Yes, absolutely this.

As an aside ( and I hope, not a derail) there were people at the office where I worked before I retired who used to dig out their ceramic poppy brooches each year. And some cars around here have the poppy bumper sticker on all year. I have no idea whether these people donate to the relevant charities in lieu of buying a new poppy every year.

And there are Tommy silhouettes in place all year around in some places where I drive regularly.

This offends me. Especially the year-round symbols.

I think they have to keep the DCs in reserve now for use if ever the latest goings-on escalate to a point where they need a sad-doe-eyed-mother-and-her-young-children sympathy shoot.

This is where those discarded by MM get their revenge. Do we think it’s Jessica writing the book?

If there is a grain of truth in this - does this indicate that PH had no clue throughout despite MM saying he knew - or does it suggest she minimised the letter if she did tell him? Why would he have made these phone calls and what was he trying to establish?
