The palace really thinks they can sneak something by Millennials and Gen Z, who been raised on a diet of finding Easter eggs in everything Taylor Swift puts out.
I hope you feel terrible for completely ignoring the root cause in lieu of a disingenuous emotional argument.
It’s terrible Kate has cancer. I hope she recovers quickly. But this framing and redirection of anger is insulting.
Remember when
@TheBPPA
told the media to stop using misleading photos that don’t have to do with the story?
This is a great case.
The photo is from May 2023.
She's not working on behalf of the family anymore.
These rules are entirely made up.
The audacity to sign things for sick children in the hospital.
What is wrong with the media
#PrinceHarry
flying back to the place the British media says hates him to give out the
@NFL
Man of the Year Award is…delicious.
…while they continue to print and say absolutely diabolical things about him. Ty next
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made a surprise outing for date night as the pair attended the premiere of 'Bob Marley: One Love' in Marley's hometown of Jamaica.
1/ Let’s say for a moment that social media is the main culprit for the
#katemiddleton
situation of the past few weeks.
What of
#KingCharles
then? He too announced a surgery & cancer diagnosis. There were a few days of ramped up online discussion.
It’s convenient to leave out how the British Media ran standalone stories about Rose, knowing people would run to it and start talking online, which is most likely how someone at Colbert heard about it.
All for website traffic.
The British media has the opportunity to not do the f**king worst thing possible and turn King Charles's cancer into H&M centered stories.
But they'll probably do it anyway.
I think the kind of love & affection that Harry & Meghan have for one another inspires some people and leaves others seething with jealousy.
We don't know the ins and outs of their relationship, but it's safe to say not everyone gets this when they settle down with someone.
(Whispers) an entire book was written about the crossroads the royal family finds themselves in and what the big issues & how Will’s team tried to stop Dan Wo*tton from digging into the Rose rumors…
This is what I meant when I said dehumanizing is one of the most dangerous things happening on the internet.
#princeharry
and
#meghanmarkle
are in a car chase and already "journalists" like Dan Wootton are questioning the legitimacy of it...1/
The Telegraph’s preview image vs. the imagine in the article.
They made this preview imagine. They chose to cut out Prince William and not to mention he was at the same party. They also know most people will not click on the article and when they do there’s a paywall.
What I’m stuck on is, they (W’s ppl) knew he was going to the event, knew who was nominated & yet this happened? I’m willing to bet his team wanted a shot w/ him and a diverse group of women, but why wasn’t he prepped about the contents of the movies?!
Anti-monarchy PM is an interesting way to say, “no longer interested in being a part of a commonwealth where the ruling country once colonized and enslaved people on their land”.
This is laughably predictable behavior and utterly transparent.
Harry tweeted out by one of America’s beloved pastimes. It’s just too much.
The only thing that would take it to the next level is if they were all tucking in to slices of apple pie.
“I found Mr Scobie to be a straight-forward and reliable witness and I accept what he said about Mr Morgan’s involvement in the Minogue/Gooding story.” o 💅🏻
#PrinceHarry
#princeharrycourtcase
@scobie
Telegraph, Y’all are f**ked for this one
Not to mention, setting Kate up as Superhuman is a disservice to The Princess as well as tho “mere mortals”…with cancer and perhaps w/o access to top tier health services, etc.
1. It wasn’t a row, it as a clerical error
2. Archewell isn’t insisting, they’re listed as current on the website.
3. There wasn’t days of confusion, reporters ran w/ a non-story because they knew ppl would trip all over themselves at the word ‘delinquent’
Prince Harry is to be inducted into the Living Legends of Aviation hall of fame, joining other aviators who have made "significant contributions in the aerospace industry", including Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong. A ceremony will take place in Beverly Hills, CA on January 19.
Hi
@CamillaTominey
, you mentioned in this week's TR email that you're open to clarifications, can you clarify for me which HJS report was the basis for this article? It's not linked & HJS hasn't replied to my multiple queries. 1/
Page Six appears to be the starting point for this Archewell story.
Why? I can't imagine someone from Page Six sitting around, refreshing Archewell's charitable status. Who tipped them off and what was their motivations?
Harry & Meghan’s Archewell Foundation found out their check hadn’t been received.
CA automatically puts on delinquency list.
Should be resolved within 7 business days.
As of right now, it’s just not that interesting of a story.
1/ If the
#princessofwales
photo is from this last week as the palace claims…why wouldn’t Comms. make sure she had her engagement ring on her hand? Like, YOU KNOW people will hone in on that. Yes, PW allegedly took the photo but COME on.
1/ Often articles will quote someone w/o giving context, like what q was asked to them.
#SXSW
coverage of
#MeghanMarkle
has a few examples.
Here is one headline…
The coded language, the women be fightin’ narrative, the use of a Kate sighting — while sick — to best Meghan for a column.
It’s reductive. It’s harmful to both women.
Doing some research for a Simon Case vid & found this: The marginalized woman speaking up about racism&poor working environment is told she is actually accused of bully.
If that doesn't sound familiar.
Seeing Catherine, Princess of Wales discourse from non-Royal peeps I follow is interesting. I’ve been mostly offline for a few days, what tipped the scales?
1/ Why did no one ask after MM's near tears response to Bradby during the SA Tour why a journalist treating her like a human being with feelings caught her off guard? Doesn’t that say something about the treatment of the media towards her?
The Telegraph’s preview image vs. the imagine in the article.
They made this preview imagine. They chose to cut out Prince William and not to mention he was at the same party. They also know most people will not click on the article and when they do there’s a paywall.
I’m working on something unrelated to Royals, but involving media, and came across this Meghan Markle article in US Weekly about her new podcast venture.
Here’s a Sun UK for comparison.
It’s just wild how different the framing always is.
Hey
@TheAtlantic
I’m a writer with a focus on media & the BRF, I bet this story is performing well, would you be interested in a rebuttal or another POV to balance it out?
The irony of NYPD changing its security posture when The Sussexes are in town in light of the UK security ruling.
Also, I wonder how much attention this gets versus the downplaying of the incident to outright mocking?
(Rhetorical question)
Of course Angela Levin was confused about Abigail’s post about Meghan’s jam, this is the same woman who thought the Duchess’s book, Benches…was about benches.
@TalkTV
@jjanisiobi
Full vid here:
A bad Comms. team can exist for W&K if some Royal reporters act as PR & clean up the mess.
Why haven’t Royal reporters turned on Comms.? Because they don’t want to lose access.
This whole situation reveals a lot of ongoing issues with The Firm.
Expect at least 72 hours of coverage and dozens of articles per rota outlet on this one appearance.
They should be thanking her for giving them something to talk about
He’s a literal Prince, the son of the King. It continually blows my mind that the UK will not pay for security when he visits nor will they let him pay for police security. Which matters when you need up to date, sensitive, info and laws around who can carry guns to protect you.
I take no pleasure in asking this but if you have tape of Dan or guests on his show saying disgusting things about
#MeghanMarkle
, can you send them my way? Working on something.
#danwootton
I think the kind of love & affection that Harry & Meghan have for one another inspires some people and leaves others seething with jealously.
We don’t know the ins and outs of their relationship, but not everyone gets this when they settle down with someone.
I was surprised to find this week's Royal Appointment appears to be directed at me.
@CamillaTominey
I would like to respond & encourage you not to discount people you believe are underneath you because they aren't writing for the Telegraph or on GBNews. 1/
2/ But then it virtually disappeared. Do people online like Charles more? Did people only lose their moral compasses during the last week of Feb.?
No.
The difference is the Comms. teams.
The Express 1 week apart.
Meghan is trying to divert focus on royal health crisis, but not the guy whose step dad has cancer?
(Calculated is a negative word when applied to women, but also, who isn’t calculating in their career moves?!)
Help me understand. So when the Duchess of York, Fergie, launches a “Royal tea” pod it’s cool, but when Meghan starts a pod about Archetypes she’s bashing the RF & profiting off her title?
The hypocrisy is what bothers me
1/ This is disingenuous even before you know that the author also wrote a piece linking
#meghanmarkle
& victims of a fire to terrorism using questionable sourcing & a pretty telling motive for the piece.
VID:
This is why the Grenfell story about Meghan Markle and the cookbook and going full on xenophobia to tie it to jihadists is particularly egregious and I will never let it go. A dereliction of duty, but instead she continued to rise at The Telegraph.
“This is not a racist country”
To the media outlets, institutions, politicians and public figures who spent years ignoring the mounting issues around race relations in Britain, who used their platforms to gaslight and stoke division — this is all on YOU
1/ The Mirror 2023: It appears the nail polish "rule" no longer exists with Catherine, Princess of Wales wearing dark red polish to Easter!
The Mirror 2024: Meghan, Duchess of Sussex broke strict royal rule, QE would be shocked.
Vid breakdown:
1/ I’ve been thinking a lot about royal reporting and how it’s impossible to discuss without acknowledging the obvious double standard in reporting when it comes to
#MeghanMarkle
. Which has nothing to do with liking her.
Gosh, I can't quwhite put my finger on why this royal commentator can't see the racism that ungirded a lot of the coverage of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.
To add to this, I don’t think they’re protecting (or respecting) her privacy, but protecting their relationship and access to the British Royal Family.
I know what he means, but it's sad that it is controversial. Because she is a very good public speaker--and that doesn't just come from acting. You have to understand what you're talking about. I just hope people hear the message she is sending along with the other panelists.
1/ Let’s go back to just last week when
#katemiddleton
was papped in the car with her mother. Here’s what two British journos, one of whom, Emily Andrews, was in the Royal Rota for a time.
Had an excellent convo with Omid Scobie about his new book,
#Endgame
, plus we got into his thoughts on the
#PrinceHarryCourtCase
verdict, the British Media landscape and more. (This is just a snippet)
Honestly, I'm excited to see the polo series from
#harryandmeghan
. I thought
#HeartofInvictus
was extremely compelling, so another sports doc. makes sense, especially a sport Harry loves.
@MichaelRapaport
Beyoncé was highlighting HBC’s. I don’t think Gwen or Fleetwood Mac in the 70’s was doing that. Plus, it was hot off the heels of Homecoming. Bad take.
Why did
#GavinNewsom
take 25 seconds to talk
#Archewell
at a Bay Area event investing 3.3 billion into mental health treatment?
1. B/c most of us wouldn't even know about it if outlets didn't pick up the H&M part. Also, the tie-in made sense
(1/)
If you didn't you wouldn't have written an entire article about it.
This is another classic technique. Attack, then tell the person that they're crazy for "taking it personally."
Ultimately this takes away from a real conversation that she doesn't want to have. Just say that.
It’s been 60+ days since Kate’s video announcement.
Stories are starting to bubble up about her not returning to public duty this year.
KP basically has 2 options:
1. Take control of the narrative & release an update
2. Rinse & repeat of earlier this year
This is what I'm talking about. Pay attention to how 'royal experts' who grew up in this world because their dad was both a journo and worked for the Palace is framing this.
Notice how no-one around is paying any attention. That’s why there weren’t hoards of photos. She’s a local so she’s treated like one. I wouldn’t normally share this but it offers a welcome opportunity to stick it to the doom-mongers! 😂
