When are they moving to Africa (not that the poor Africans deserve this drivel)?
Am I the only one that thinks that racist comments like this are unacceptable? Even amongst a thread jam packed with Gammon this one particularly stands out.
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/revealed-palaces-africa-plan-for-harry-and-meghan-t2ckn7f5b?wgu=270525_54264_15664887709454_110d85eab5&wgexpiry=1574264770&utm_source=planit&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_content=22278
Ok, I hold my hands up and admit that I wasn't aware of the Africa thing and apologise to psi for throwing out the racism thing. I do, however, hold out in my belief that if this were William and Kate doing the same thing that the Daily Mail and numerous right wing Social Media groups would be saying fk all.
I suppose calling people out for being racist by calling them "gammon" probably didn't help your position.

It's an English airline FlyBe. BA is Spanish now isn't it? And easy jet brand is chav. So guess that's why it's on the approved list!

“What they’ve created at Luminary Bakery is exceptional - it’s a space for baking, healing and rebuilding. When I visited the women earlier this year I was struck by how the baking, itself, is a means of therapy for these women - which in many ways makes complete sense - feeling they had no control over their lives based on their previous (and often harrowing) circumstances, they found comfort in the measured nature of baking. Mixing equal parts of one ingredient and another could yield the perfect dessert, but the act of doing so provided personal balance. So while the baked goods are absolutely delicious, it’s the story of how the program at Luminary reshapes lives through baking that is the actual icing on the cake.” - The Duchess of Sussex

She forgot the cupcake that says "I am a vacuous ".

B list celebs wanting to be A list eco warriors and preach to the world we are all killing the planet, whilst doing the same but 100x worse.

Meh... that's all they are, meh.
………. except they are having the last laugh on you me & the rest of us. Living a comfortable luxurious life & never having to worry where the next meal coming from. So thick & thick skinned they care not a toss how much they get criticised OR what the media & others say.

Remember "Air Miles Andy", he got a lot of stick many years ago for flying everywhere in helicopters and private jets, he wasn't preachy about the environment and also the last time I looked he wasn't black either!
Of all the Royals you could have chosen, at this moment in time, to make your point... laugh

Hope they are sailing down there after the BS about saving the planet while taking multiple private flights.

BA isn't Spanish now: IAG's operational headquarters, which controls the management of both its British and Spanish subsidiaries, are at the Waterside building in Harmondsworth, London. IAG is incorporated in Spain as a Sociedad Anónima, where the company board meetings are held, and is domiciled in Spain for tax purposes. BA was the bigger company (55%) at merger.

They've hired Michael Jackson and Harvey Weinstein's crisis PR agency

Why? All they need to do is stop the moronic arrogance of flying around in private jets while trying to lecture plebs about it. Stop the jets or the lecturing, can't do both and be liked. And close down the instagram account and the circle jerk of "inspiring" millennial garbage on it, or keep it if you have to but just put cute pictures of baby Archie on it every few months.

Don't need a PR agency to tell them to simply calm it down and lie low.

A complete and utter lack of self awareness and very arrogant, this is the "American way", us Brits don't like this sort of thing, the whole thing will end up as a car crash.

They just need to lie low for a while, act how the Royals act, however you get the distinct feeling that this isn't how she wants to be, she's using her new platform as a Royal, to further her own ambitions but it will just end up messy, on this side of the pond at least.

Major PR move to claw back image today, flew to Amsterdam to launch though...

"Prince Harry said he hopes the new 'Travalyst' scheme will better protect tourist destinations and their local communities for generations to come."

Also says he took the private jets to protect his family hehe

He is determined to just keep digging isn't he? Surprised that the companies involved (Skyscanner, Travelocity, Visa, Booking.com) haven't got the common sense to stay well away from the guy, and go for total disassociation from him instead.

"I fly private jets to protect my family" - the arrogant dumbo hasn't even got the sense to turn it around and word it as "I fly private jets because I care about the public and don't want them to suffer any extra risk that my presence on their flight might cause them". Needs to stop making it about himself, or at least pretend!

Not sure why he thinks him and his family are such targets anyway. He does know that he's as low down as sixth in line to the thrown and Archie seventh doesn't he? Charlie and all the Sussexes would need to be eliminated before anyone is going to come asking him to be King.

I looked at the travalyst.org website, it's just full of PR flannel, no actual substance or content about what they plan to do to "make travel more sustainable", I suspect nothing much.

To be fair, and I care very little about the Royals, he might have a point. He might well have security advice that he is a genuine target, not so much for being a royal as such but because of his Apache years. He has, after all, spent a fair amount of time firing ordnance at the kind of people who don't think twice about letting off bombs and bringing down planes.

So don't fly at all then, and just stay at home in the newly refurbished megacottage surrounded by security. The world will still keep turning without him?

Wills did a load of years flying helicopters for the Army didn't he?

But crucially not firing in anger at serious wrong 'uns AFAIK. He was doing Air/Sea Rescue wasn't he - perfectly noble and worthwhile but not polishing off the Taliban dangerous?
