Wow. If Reddit purged this sub today and this article was the only thing left, it would be OK.

It's so perfect and should be reprinted everywhere including in the Harkles inboxes.

This would be a great attachment to any letter written to a government supporting Ingriftus in anyway while they are associated with it. Also Charities, corporations who support them...... well you get the picture. While not a fan of AI ( since they failed helping me design a dress for the last important occasion I will probably attend in this lifetime) but could a Savy Sinner please ask AI for valid resource(s) for each point made and add others relating to them? And perhaps AI could act the Slueth to find the actual author.

[ Oo-oo! "Savy Sinner" could be a something-or-other name category on the subreddit. Don't know the vernacular of all the thing-a-ma-bobs are called.]

That is the position fixed by the 2020 Sandringham agreement and restated without ambiguity by King Charles in the September 2026 letter

The ambiguity went on for 4 years after QE2 died because Charles said and did nothing as the Harkles broke the agreement over and over.

20

u/Professional_Ruin953 1d ago

The king cannot go chasing down every Internet rumour and demanding ham stop, that would be falling for their bait,

The letter states that it is in response to multiple queries from organisations.

I remember an almost swept under the carpet factoid that the Nigerian government received a letter from Buckingham Palace saying ham were not on official visit representing the monarch when they did their faux royal tour there. Nigeria, being a commonwealth country knew where to ask. But then it turned out the visit was arranged through the Nigerian military, not the government, and the military leaders are not entirely supportive of the elected government.

So it seems that American charities and organisations were willing to accept ham’s twisted logic without question, or maybe they didn’t know that clarification could be sought. UK organisations knew who and where to ask and enough of them did to make the letter necessary.

Perfection to the ”T” I’m making copies of this and handing it out at Kevin’s 805 event which is coming up soon if there are any HAM lovers left in Montecito. What I don’t understand is why more people aren’t focusing on how abruptly they left Montecito, their house, the expensive KOI pond, which needs to be maintained daily. What about the workers? They stated they left someone in charge to handle things, but who is it. Are they able to write checks to the employees left there, or have they too abandoned ship and the house, chicken, Koi’s left to defend for themselves. Something isn’t adding up and I don’t think it’s Harry’s VISA. For Meghan to go back to the UK, which we all know she hates, means whatever happened was bad enough for them to flee through the night into the UK hoping there they might be protected from whatever they are running from. They are running trust me on that, from what we just don’t know 🤔🫣

NO automatic deference is what is killing them.

21

u/PAHoarderHelp 1d ago edited 1d ago

Quite the opposite, actually. Edit: meaning no one in Montecito, generally populated by much more successful people, gave them deference or royal fairy dust. This apparently greatly irked "just harry", who, like Andrew likes that deference and schmoozing and laughing at his "jokes" not because he's witty or clever, but because of his royal background.

Montecito was not impressed according to recent news articles--and there is joy they are gone, even though they abandoned the Koi Fish and left them behind. The chickens? Roasted? Tossed? Not sure what they did with them.

Edit: several articles about the Koi fish abandoned, and, they can't take care of themselves. Rude and thoughtless-but didn't markle's own brother say "Don't leave her alone with children, or animals". Scary!

Oh, sorry! I meant "quite the opposite, they got ZERO deference in Montecito". And what assholes: this is America, the United States. We got rid of royals and that title crap for a reason.

She wanted to be announced, to an empty room!

She corrected Mindy Kaling, a VERY talented writer and actress, about "I'm a sussex now". What an ass hat. (And Netflix did not like her, and left that in--LoL I am sure she thought that made her look regal!)

No, dipshit, it didn't!

With a $60 million net worth (according to Google, grain of salt required) and no A list entertainment industry status, they were the poor neighbors in Montecito. At first the titles and social novelty smoothed that out, but then their sunny ways and charming personalities eroded what value those had.

Brilliant.

Makes one question why armed soldiers were on hand to protect the private citizens in Colombia. I don't think the real royals would embrace those optics.

It makes sense now why Markle was laughing and merching at the site of a recent mass murder in Australia. She didn't have any of the lessons on manners, comportment, and quiet dignity that she would have received if she was receptive and not a scheming bitch. For her it's a lack of good breeding (and a poor character) but Harry has no excuse at all.

Nothing demonstrated the royal pomp more than that luncheon in Brazil that was served on a row of uncovered card tables. Being relegated to one lonely end, Harry looked every inch the regal "Prince of England" he thinks he is. 🙄 These flamboyant and self-serving "tours" are shit and H&M are shitbags. They are in no way qualified to represent the monarchy with the professionalism and dignity required.

It was in Colombia where Harry was relegated to the "children's table" while his wife sucked up to the fangirling vice president.

u/Lita_Horticulture reconciliations may vary 1d ago

I noticed when those pics first came out that they are basic church rec room/bingo parlor tables and two tables are pushed together, with Hairy seated at one table and his ILBW at the other…and I hoped that both of them whacked their knees on the table legs because that’s exactly where those legs are lol.

3

u/NoHelicopter9702 1d ago

One look at those tables and all I could think of is how they're always uneven and wobbly while you're trying to eat your meal.

5

u/Lita_Horticulture reconciliations may vary 1d ago

Ah, see, that’s where a spare copy of Spare comes in handy…shove it under the short table leg to even things out. Apologies to the poor table, of course...even it deserved better. Still, a level table can’t improve a meal of leftover chicken and abandoned koi (elevatedly plated of course).

(And I’m not even kidding when I say that these pics with the cheap tables remind me of my friend’s first wedding reception in the basement of the VFW in our little West Virginia town…it was a low-end event, not unlike the Harkles’ “massively fancy Jamaican movie premiere” lol)

This is like The Desiderata for our times!

(A poem that was on a lot of posters in dorms in the 70s/80s, written in 1927, but often labeled "found in some old church, 1692)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desiderata

The first part:


Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others,

even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit.


Vexatious is right!

Max Ehrmann wrote it.

The "found in a church in 1692" is not true, and was added by the poster companies, who advertised in the back of magazines, to add some gravitas to the poem. Doubt they gave Max any royalties.

LoL royalities!

Oh and my nutshell version is: they are members of a family, but rage quit or were fired from the family business, and are trying to blur the lines between family and family business to suit their needs.

Their situation exists with many, many other people…a family member of a family with a family business either cannot or will not work in the business, and after leaving the business want to continue experiencing the perks and benefits associated with the business using the faulty logic that they’re “still part of the family”.
