I do think he and Meghan need a good strategist/public relations person to advise them. They jump into political stuff where they should stay quiet and make proclamations like they are of high political status of some sort of American royalty. Stick to real charity work without telling others what to do or think often related to topics they don't even completely understand. Be careful with the photo ops. They need someone to help them come across as more humble and committed to service, not fame.

+1 all of the above!

Yes. There's no reason any of their service work even needs to be publicized.

+3. Agree completely. They are doing great service work. I get the impression someone else was taking their photos in LA, and Jose Andres said they did not bring a camera crew along (as did a parent in Uvalde). Still, it would be even more convincing if they quietly packed sandwiches instead of even posing with Jose.

Are you the lunatic who gets every negative comment about Kate deleted? Should I ask for this comment to be deleted?

Is Harry on speaking terms with the Spencers?

Never heard that they weren’t. He stayed at Althrop when he was in the UK at the end of last year so they’re prob fine.

Good for him for taking it all the way until they fessed/paid up. It's gross what they did.

Or that we need their “spokesperson” to issue statements about their opinions on any major events. Do other celebrities do this? It’s so bizarre and sanctimonious for, what are in essence, two reality stars.

Relax. That stuff isn’t for us, that’s for people back in the UK.

Absolutely. They seem to be his biggest supporters and he can count on them way more than he ever could the Windsors

Reminder that Murdoch Group criminal syndicate are the same people behind Donald Trump's presidencies and his treasonous attempted coup on Jan 6 2021.

I'm confused. Why is everyone saying he won the case? He settled.

He settled for a huge amount of money plus a full apology to him and his mother. I don’t know the man, but I imagine that apology was what he really wanted out of this. (Although 12 million dollars isn’t too bad either.)

British courts do not look too kindly on refusal to settle when the settlement guarantees an outcome that is equitable

Good for him. I’m glad he got the admission of wrongdoing. I think it’s very important to protect minors from that trashy kind of journalism .

The budget situation is difficult. I think people would be a lot more sympathetic to them if they downsized their living situation. It’s doesn’t sit well when someone living in a $13 million house complains about the budget. Now that they’ve plowed money into the renovation, I can see wanting to reap the rewards of money spent. It’s just not realistic unless she can work as an actress again, or he decides to become a working royal again.

Maybe this settlement can pave the way for him to return to royal life. See if he can trust the press again. He starts doing a little publicity. Sees if the press becomes intrusive. Bring the kids over for a summer. Sees if the press are intrusive. Puts the children in school for one year. Sees if the press are intrusive. She’ll likely never be a working royal again, which is sad because she understands media. I can see a path back for Harry and the children, though.

No, they do it in the US for what they believe to be their US fans. But even if it were for the people in the UK that’s even more ridiculous. They are no longer working Royals and they don’t live there, yet carry on as if they do.

I believe William and Charles are behind the relentless media campaign against them.
Just like Camilla’s image was rehashed, they know how to play the press.
Daily Mail still prints weekly headlines about them, even though they have stepped back and even when Meghan was not doing anything.
The tabloid’s will be as nasty as they have always been.
Watch the documentary on YouTube Reinventing the royals : talking about Charles PR operations in the 90s-2000s

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are still the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and are referred to as such on the British royal family's official website. Harry was granted the title Duke of Sussex by his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, upon his marriage to Meghan, who then became the Duchess of Sussex. Their children are Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex since their grandfather King Charles III became monarch.

The British press violated Prince Harry’s privacy and dignity over and over again and vilified Meghan for absurd reasons.

King Charles III should be ashamed of himself for icing Harry out of the working royal family and not providing protection for his own son’s family. Any nitwit can see H+M are lightning rods for negative press and do face real danger from mentally disturbed royal fans.

The king has the money but chooses not to prioritize the safety of his son and his family. In 2024, King Charles III’s net worth increased by $12.5 million (£10 million) over the previous year, bringing his total net worth to approximately $772 million (£610 million) according to the 2024 Sunday Times Rich List, which ranks the 1,000 wealthiest people or families in the U.K. Charles ranked # 258 in 2024.

The royal family is extremely important to Britain’s economy and culture. The royal family's history and heritage make the UK a popular tourist destination. The royal family is a global brand that contributes to the UK economy through tourism, trade, media, and the arts. In 2017, Brand Finance estimated that the royal family contributed £1.766 billion to the UK economy.
Brand Finance also estimated that the monarchy's brand contributed £2.5 billion to the UK economy.

I believe the King is diminishing his royal brand by being petty with the safety of his own son’s family.
