#ESCANDALO!!!

[houseofbrat]

As someone who works in PR I am ASTONISHED at how bad Kensington Palace is at all of this. It’s the most interesting part of the whole thing for me. Well that, and how much it seemingly vindicates H&M and Harry in particular in what he’s said about the firm and the media’s role in protecting the Heir at all costs.

Yeah I work in PR for a public company and anytime we want to put something out we have to run it up the chain - we need legal and Investor relations and executive approvals.

Even if KP and BP had their individual PR teams, which makes sense, there should still be one main central PR office that everyone answers to that manages the entire royal families PR, makes sure schedules and press opportunities and STRATEGY AND MESSAGING all aligns, before running up the chain for final approvals. There’d be a social team and a crisis team and government relations team and a branding team and a general “talent rep” kind of team, all working in tandem to serve the overall strategy for the royal family.

The fact that there are so many cooks in so many different kitchens is why the royal family has had so many PR disasters honestly for decades now. They’re truly doing it all wrong. So many Worst Practices here, not Best Practices.

It really doesn't seem like there is an overall PR team. Just the separate entities

Yeah and that’s the problem IMO. They are a business that should be run like a business. They should have the individual departments I suggested, and even more, working in tandem.

The fact that there are so many separate entities with different agendas and priorities is a huge part of their problem IMO.

But Charles has been transparent for the most part!! And photographed repeatedly. It’s so bizarre when compared to KP, and feels passive aggressive to me to be honest lolol.

They’re really so so so bad at this 😭😭😭😭 but the British public and the media lets them get away with it 🙃🙃🙃

For heaven’s sake. If she’s recovering nicely, why resort to recycling old photos?

Other sources are making a pretty good case for the fact that it’s a November photo, taken after Catherine and the children visited the baby bank.

Does nobody, and I mean nobody, know how to do PR in that place anymore? Now it's pin all of this on just-recovering-from-abdominal-surgery Kate? Why not on William since they were so proud about how he was the one that took the photo? Somehow they keep making everything ten times worse.

I’m sorry, but I don’t believe for a second that Kate personally edited that photo together in such a way that it had to be killed as inauthentic. The pulling of the photo is likely more about the refusal to provide metadata or the raw image for proof rather than silly Photoshop choices. That isn’t an issue of “mummy going wild on the computer,” it’s a larger organizational issue about trust, transparency, and KP’s overall poor approach to news orgs and the press lately.

Why is Kate taking the fall? Why is William such a lout to let an ill Kate put this on her own shoulders rather than admit KP made an error or say KP is going to reevaluate their practices and make a change?

Are college interns running Palace p.r.? Because I cannot understand how they're botching this so badly. If Kate couldn't/wouldn't pose for a legit photo, then just don't release anything. The Royals are basically dumping tankers of gas on the inferno by playing all these games. 

Sorry, am I going insane? After saying they wouldn’t respond to these conspiracy theories, they

a) responded by putting out a doctored image,

b) responded to the backlash of doctored image by claiming the woman recovering from a medical issue was playing around in Photoshop, and

c) responded to the backlash of editing claims by putting out an image where the person in the photo is supposed to be Kate but could LITERALLY BE ANYBODY.

NONE OF YOU ARE FINDING THIS WEIRD? NONE?!

"Kate's Back"

Well, it is indeed a picture of Kate's back

Apparently the main symptom of her mysterious medical condition is that any photo with her in it immediately becomes grainy, blurry, or with people's wrists trying to escape into a fifth dimension.

Good Lord, I haven't followed a disaster story this closely since Oceangate Titan and this one may be even worse. The narrative is out of control and the rules have gone out the window.

They already lost control of the narrative at this point. No matter what they do now, they will be scrutinized more than they've ever been before. And they seem grossly unprepared for it.

She’s not even facing camera, how is this supposed to help? This just feeds the conspiracy theorists! headdesk

It's becoming a PR nightmare that only Olivia Pope can rescue.

Maybe the better question is that people are concerned about Kate's welfare, and most WERE okay with waiting under the timeline KP initially offered that is she will likely return by or after Easter.

However KP has mismanaged the messaging, and with that concern grows over how weird some of the updates are. The article explains why this medical time out is turning into an absolute PR crisis. It isn't so much about Kates right to medical privacy (she definitely deserves that )

It now is about institutional reliability, the heir William's arguably erratic or unusual behavior or his courtiers' comments, the mess with the all kill photoshopped/Frankensteined photo (which has never happened before with a palace released photo), the very different approaches from BP vs KP, etc etc. It's become bigger than Kate sad to say.

And ultimately now people are worried for her, in a way they wouldn't have been, because things have become so irregular and bungled. So the urgency to make sure she is safe and okay has become louder and more insistent.

“CNN is now reviewing all handout photos previously provided by Kensington Palace.”

“In editorial photography, photojournalists and editors commonly adjust a photograph’s exposure or color balance in order to more accurately reflect the scene. Most news organizations, including CNN, regard it as unacceptable to move, change or manipulate the pixels of an image. To do so would alter the reality of the situation the image is intended to document.”

“In the past, the family’s amateur photographs have been well received when posted on social media. But on this occasion, this photo was also released to media organizations as a handout and the palace wasn’t transparent about the fact it had been adjusted.

That will have damaged the trust between the palace and media organizations – many of which, like CNN, will likely be assessing all royal handouts. The editing storm has undermined the existing relationship and when public interest over any possible cover up escalates, as it has done recently, many news outlets will now have take that speculation more seriously.”

Oh boy, Val has dreaded having this conversation for what felt like an eternity.

ཐིཋྀ "Okay, so, assuming this thing between Velvette and me would have been going on for several months without either of us telling you..."

"... it wouldn't have been because we want to cut you out, no, not at all... it's just that we... might have liked the idea of... secretly hooking up behind your back? But just for fun! At first..."

He is digging his own grave here, isn't he?

"... until we both developed serious feelings for each other. Sorta. Kinda. Actually, we don't know what the fuck it really is. But it's there. And we wanted you to know because... you're important to us."

DESAFIO LITERÁRIO • 2023 | LEITURAS DE JUNHO - JULHO

★ 𝐉𝐔𝐍𝐇𝐎

Um livro publicado no ano do seu nascimento

Do amor e Outro Demônios - Gabriel Garcia Márquez

Essa foi uma leitura que eu terminei agradecendo aos céus por ter acabado.

Apesar de entender a parte da inquisição e a crítica à tudo que a igreja católica via como "do satanás" (principalmente se tratando da religião e cultura africana) não consegui me apegar à santidade da sierva maría e as loucuras da parte do convento, ainda mais envolvendo o clérigo escolhido para realizar o exorcismo. Foi cansativa e decepcionante.

Um livro que combine com o inverno

Rainha do Escândalo - Sarah MacLean

Não sei se foi minha expectativa altíssima ou se a leitura realmente foi fraca, mas não curti tanto. A história da sesily foi muito esperada pelos fãs, e a inserção do caleb deixou tudo mais interessante, o que me fez acreditar que terminaria a leitura extasiada, mas achei tudo chato. O caleb perdeu todo o lado interessante, mesmo guardando um grande segredo, porque vivia se repetindo; era uma hora seguindo a sesily e outra falando que não podia ficar com ela. Se decida, caramba!

Quanto à sesily, apesar de se manter um furacão, essa tristeza dela por amar sem ser correspondida, por mais compreensível que seja, pareceu não combinar com ela.Era humilhação demais. Gostei mais da parte que mostrava o trabalho dela e adorei que mostraram a escolha dela em não ser mãe de forma alguma, apesar de amar crianças e ser uma pessoa muito amorosa, porque não é algo algo que não se vê muito nas histórias do gênero. O contexto até me atiçou, e uns pequenos indícios de romance entre as amigas dela me pareceram mais interessantes, mas a história de amor da última irmã escandalosa solteira poderia ter sido melhor.

★ 𝐉𝐔𝐋𝐇𝐎

Um livro que todo mundo está lendo

Deuses de Neon - Katee Robert

Por ser uma releitura de seres mitológicos icônicos, esperei que as atitudes estivessem à altura, mas apenas o contexto carregou. O Hades é um protagonista qualquer de um new adult que performa a maldade mas decepciona. Por conta da situação em que ele se encontrava, não esperava receber um cara que se culpa por fazer o que é necessário para manter o seu poder, mesmo que ele seja alguém que faz isso por ser bem coração e entender que tem pessoas que dependem dele.

A Perséfone é até ok nesse ponto, ainda mais com ela correndo atrás de fugir da vida que não gostava e escolhendo permanecer com o Hades, mas a ingenuidade dela é irritante. No fim, era só uma mimada que enxergava o mundo do jeito que queria para o drama ser a favor dela.

O romance é bom, só que muito mais do mesmo de outras obras, então não fiquei encantada com o fato de ser uma releitura. Se tivesse elementos mais fantásticos além da barreira, eu aproveitaria mais. Apesar disso, estou curiosa para saber dos outros deuses e, talvez, continue a saga.

Um livro de ficção científica ou fantasia

A Bruxa Negra - Laurie Forest.

Algumas leituras não valem a pena insistir até a metade, mas essa valeu. Com uma linhagem respeitável, mas criação limitada, elloren passa a viver num mundo diverso onde o conservadorismo do seu povo é praticado e dá espaço à descrença por enxergar as divergências e absurdos.

Foi só com a convivência com os diferentes, mesmo em meio a hostilidade justificável, que elloren passou a questionar tudo, e ainda bem que a autora mudou na parte 3 e colocou em evidência os coadjuvantes interessantes (todos ótimos) que fizeram parte da transformação dela.

Com esse acréscimo, foi muito bom ver a protagonista indo atrás da história de cada um sem que pedissem, como é o certo. Para os crescidos em ambientes de verdades absolutas, a história é super identificável. Recomendo para quem curte o gênero YA + fantasia.
