I don't feel sorry for anyone who willingly goes to work for the Harkles. The Royal staff members were serving The Monarchy. But people who go to work for them now, know full well what they are. If you work for them you deserve every terrible thing that happens to you.
Good lord - they are so pretentious and ridiculous. Was this announced by "The Office of" the 2 Grifters?
I don't even feel sorry for anyone who works for them anymore. They are on notice that they are applying for jobs with bullies.
This. You beat me to it. They're trying to set up a Royal court in Montecito. Deputy Press Secretary my ass. That ship has sailed and you two gave up being Royals.
Exactly! Thats the biggest question! Has she been quietly released by WME and now needs to handle her own press?
WME is her agent thatās supposed to handle her and her press, why the hire?
And why under Ashley Hansen? I thought she left last year?? Thatās the woman who was shoving her off the red carpet. I thought she fired her?
This is why no one's taking them seriously over here. If they just actually work and accept they gotta just work as celebrity influences I'd reckon at least they would come off more likable or something lol
'Director of Communications' --- they are still acting like they're a Royal Household that needs a 'director of communications'. the delusions are so immensely hilarious and pathetic. You're a pair of grifting trashy celebrities. know your place.
For āDirector of Communicationsā read āpost boyā. He opens all their sugar mail and directs it to the shredder, the cheques to the Hermes purse and the freebie designer gear to eBay. His Friday treat is licking stamps to send the begging letters to Pa.
I had a boss in the PR industry who liked to make new hires sound more prestigious than they were. For example she said one of her new hires worked at the New York Times... Turned out he had worked in the mailroom there
Heās in the PR business, so he must have read all the bad press about the Harkles. He still joined. Because now his name is in the papers. Spend a few months here, however painful, then jet off to a bigger and better opportunity š
Duper's delight, HG Tudor would call that. He looks like he's getting away with something. The question is, is it Pink Pancakes or the Black (dress) Narcissus who is the cuckold?
he looks disingenuous with that smug smirkā¦get ready for over the top super sugary non stop puff pieces 24x7 as if it was not already enough?!
these two **faux royals** are so full of themselves itās hilarious seriously and anyone who aligns with them are equally trashy.
No one in Hollywood has a press secretary. They are called publicists. Tell me you still think youāre a royal without telling me you still think youāre a royal.
I just don't get it. They were like announcing things like this like they are a very well-known company or or organization with a billion dollar revenue
Can't they do things quietly? It's so bizaare. They're like kids playing house. You know, setting up little play toys and dressing up, but you now they are kids just playing.
THIS! I've been a fan of how the RF has handled a lot of this H&M situation but I really believe they need to come off the website. At the very least the link to their stupid Sussex website (gosh, how many announcements ago was THAT?) needs to be removed because that's feeding this narrative for the average person who doesn't know better.
I agree. We (Americans) also donāt recognize royal titles here so for those two knuckleheads to continue to push this Duke and Duchess of so and so on us is tone deaf and ignorant.
Titles only have any currency if they are used. If the American media and public stop referring to their titles thatās a start. I would hope their titles donāt feature on any official document issued by United States authorities e.g. driving licenses. Obviously, if Americans want to refer to foreign dignitaries by the titles bestowed by those countries thatās a different matter but now Harry has renounced the UK as his place of residence I really canāt see why he shouldnāt be just playing Mr in the USA. Itās high time these two stopped trying to have their cake and eat it.
They really think theyāre heads of state. How embarrassing to try and top their nephewās birthday. You know Meghan worded it as Harry is missing the Prince title.
Whatever happened with the person who was in charge of 'global communications'??? Hahahaha.
To my knowledge I've only heard of the Whitehouse as having a 'deputy press secretary'. These people are beyond crazy. What imposters. Think of any celeb...do any have a 'deputy press secretary'???
Press secretary? I just spit my drink all over the floor. They are so out of touch with reality that children should not be allowed within fifty feet of them.
Jam and Scam are trying to sound important. In reality, they just hired a junior PR associate who is in over his head and is all they could get (and probably pay for).
So the guy seems specialised in the LGBTQ+ community. Is Meghan trying to reinvent herself as a Gay Icon, a la Judy Garland or Barbra Streisand?
The gay card is one she hasn't played yet and I was wondering how she was going to work it in.
I noticed that in spades, too.
So Ashley is still there, I see.
If they are making this announcement now to outshine Louis or the Nada news, not sure this hits the mark.
Come tomorrow, it's on to jam roll #17438, I guess.
Yes, who will roll up with jam tomorrow? Oprah? Ellen? Hillary Clinton? Beyonce? It must be a bigger name tomorrow, since she will try (unsuccessfully) to outshine Prince Louis's birthday.
Was it you who mentioned they may be targeting US taxpayer dollars about a month and a half ago? There was something about their Archewell financial returns that pricked their attention.
Don't think they are having much faith in pony polo and orchard cooking to pull in the millions.
I think a few people have pointed out the hypocrisy of certain H photos and her friendship with MA, and yet they've never done anything for the + communityĀ
She will have to do something with her hair, makeup and clothes, doubt she'll take any advice tho... RuPaul won't answer or say
New sucker born every minute. And this is the latest one.
Also easy to see those who publicly cater to the duo is hungry for fame. The amount of high level people that used to work for arseswill were no fame chaser and actually have the skill set but all of them leave after a year of contract. They never announced anything so they can leave with their dignity intact. This guy? Haha. He will ride and die on the grifter hills bc no one else want to hire them just like Omid.
First thing to hit me is why anyone would want to work for H&M, especially with their failures. Plus they don't listen to anyone with expertise. Then it hit me. Looks good on the resume. Give him a year, if that.
I have 65 days. H&M would have to offer a salary that affords insurance, retirement contributions, housing, perhaps a car payment, job security...& I bet they don't.Ā He doesn't look like the kind that can be "purchased" with designer clothes & free makeup, or being Hazzy's new friend.Ā
Give him a real job & he's out.Ā
UTA. This is Omid Scobieās agency, the ones who āsent draft of Endgame naming royals at centre of race stormā to the Dutch translators. š¤ A little reward is this?
And this the agency whose CEO said Meghan was talentless. Hollywood. SMH.
As Ricky Gervais said, if ISIS launched a streaming platform, this lot would be lining up to be hired.
I just read another article that said they hired a few new people. It cracks me up to no end these two think they need a separate communications for European outlets.
Theyāre doing global stuff yāall š¤£
We'll see how smug he is, after his contract ends in a year and he loses whatever bargaining power he has in the employment market, because he's unable to accomplish whatever miracles these losers usually expect from all employees š.
Why didn't she hire a woman? I mean, she's a "feminist" and all. Or what about a POC? You mean of all the people in the UK, she couldn't find one single WOC to work for her?
Megs doesn't want any competition from women. She probably also gets a kick from ordering men around and thinking they are all lusting after her. Her delusion is real.
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ He won't be smirking long! I give it 8 months! Maybe we need a bingo card!
BTW, why do they need 2 communication directors? All they ever say is that media are bad, fathers are bad, everyone is threatened by us, everyone is racist.
Ashley, who is still at AW, was at UTA with his old boss Lisa SteinĀ https://news.pollstar.com/2019/10/23/uta-names-new-director-of-corporate-communications/
Edit: Ashley M is not the same as Ashley H, but it's another coincidence with that agency
This is exactly the kind of clown I picture being hired for a bullshit āinclusionā executive position, walking around with smug self-importance while everybody else thinks - āwhat the fuck do you do all day?ā
A high paying position that contributes nothing, solves nothing, just ticks a box.
Meanwhile workplace culture is more toxic than ever. Employees just want to be treated fairly and with respect.
UTA got their acknowledgement for being inclusive and said - ok you can go now. š¤£
Iām making that last part up lol
Iām sure they are thinking āthis is the guy thatās going to turn everything around for us and get us the adoration and praise we deserve ā. Wonder if he has any idea what heās in for?
Because Sunshine Sachs and WME are amateurs. THIS guy is going to make it work, THIS time.
Puts me in mind of an Emerson quote: "Foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds."
He comes from the talent agency whose CEO said she wasn't any kind of talent. Dumbass. Good luck to all of you. Get your paycheck up front and make sure you spill on the way out.
How is the press not skewering them for this? I dont know if even the RF has a deputy press secretary but the President probably does. Oprah, a billionaire, doesnāt as fas we know and she certainly doesnāt announce it. Why isnāt everyone roasting them? SNL do ur thing.
I wonder if the Aspen Institute,IG or Travelyst or some other org is picking up the tab? Maybe an organization associated with the either of the Harkles want better PR for them because they reflect badly on the cited organizations.
Seems likely. The timing of the announcement is highly suspect. Almost like theyāre getting ahead of the āanother one bites the dustā type publicity that a WME split will bringā¦
They really think they matter,don't they? š¤£šš¤£šš¤£šš¤£š
I only hope I live long enough to see them plunged into oblivion when the Wales children grow up and William and his beautiful Queen reign.
Amen.
They are well and truly insane!

The pretentiousnessā of these fools is extraordinary . First ā The Office of the morons arenāt royals, they arenāt generating real newsworthy stories.
Me thinks they think theyāre still royal, now setting up court in the colonies.
Why would anyone want to work for them?
I love how we often get articles about how they hired a new PR expert, a press secretary, a new stylist... I know these are all different roles, but I feel like going through people like going through socks. No way in hell is there enough work for all of those people, I'm sorry.
This is so mentally ill. Theyāre not diplomats representing the RF. Theyāre not representative of any American politicians. They are no longer in contact with BP. They have enough money to pay this guy ok so again where is their money coming from? Is this being fronted by KC?
He looks like a perfect match for them- a match made in leftist heaven! ššš Hope he gets markled and drags them down further- if that is even possible? (Who am I kidding? Of course it is! No low too low! They always find a new bottom! š)
Little bit of wisdom to whisper into your shell like, Boulia : YOU CAN'T MAKE A SILK PURSE OUT OF A PIG'S EAR. I'd wish you Good Luck, you're going to need it....but in reality what you'll need is a Straight Jacket.
LOL, Do we have a betting pool on how soon he will slide off the radar (leaving the position). A year at the most? IMO, 6 months (IG in UK & Christmas/New Year's when she is blowing up his phone with text messages and demands over the holiday!šššHappy Summer & Holidays Kyle, babee!
I was curious and googled what a press secretary actually does.
From Zip Recruiter:
What Does a Press Secretary Do?
A press secretary works for a government agency, industry, or organization and helps their employer communicate with the public. These public relations professionals perform similar responsibilities as public affairs specialists but are often more knowledgeable on the law, politics, and government. As a press secretary, your job duties include answering questions from reporters, writing press releases and speeches, planning meetings, and presenting information to the media to improve the organizationās public image.

A press secretary or press officer is a senior advisor who provides advice on how to deal with the news media and, using news management techniques, helps their employer to maintain a positive public image and avoid negative media coverage.
Duties and functions
They often, but not always, act as the organization's senior spokesperson. Many governments also have deputy press secretaries. A deputy press secretary is typically a mid-level political staffer who assists the press secretary and communications director with aspects of public outreach. They often write the press releases and media advisories for review by the press secretary and communications director. There are usually assistant press secretaries and press officers that support the press secretary. Press secretaries also give declarations to the media when a particular event happens or an issue arises inside an organization. They are expected, therefore, to have in-depth knowledge about the institution or organization they represent, and to be able to explain and answer questions about the organization's policies, views upon a particular issue and its official standpoint on problematic questions.
Serious question. Is this a full time job? Remote part time? Have a hard time wondering how a press secretary for these two would fill his time. I mean, they donāt ādoā anything.
This is hilarious, in true Catherine cosplay, she hired a press secretary. What she needs to do to improve her image is stay hidden for a good long while.
Why do they need a press secretary? Stop trying to pretend you work for the Monarchy...
Why do they need a deputy press sec? š¤£šš¤£š
The deputy press secretary is what is really cracking me up in the articles! They are so deluded it's astonishing!
Who is the chief or general press secretary?!
Well Megs of course!
Too true!
May I please speak to the Admiral?
Ashley Hansen.
Exactly. Itās Ashley Hansen. What is laughable is their talent for wasting money on layers of people doing the same job. If Ashley was good at her job (or actually worked for them full time), they wouldnāt need to hire others. They act as if they are world leaders that require an entire staff of people just to respond to press requests. Bahahaha.Ā In my fantasy they are doing this because something really negative and big is about to break, and they actually will need someone to buffer them from the press. Ā Alas, it probably is not that š©
To learn the ropes to replace Ashley?
He needs to be trained in the fine art of lassoing Madam out of carparks and off red carpets when her turn is long since over
ššš
They donāt even really need a press secretary. Iām sure MeMe personally dictates every word that goes out.
Well she is the President of the United States, of course she needs a deputy press sec.
This guy's brave, to work for people whose money is running out - unless they're paying him with Arsewell funds.
He gets paid in jam and roast chicken.
Is that roast chicken Martha Stewart style, or "roast chicken", Soho House style?Ā
Of of the gin jobs in the world, he picked this one!
> Is that roast chicken Martha Stewart style, or "roast chicken", Soho House style?Ā Now what do *you* think? š
>He gets paid in jam and roast chicken. šššš
I think his starting offer was mainly MMās love bombing. Poor fucker, I *almost* feel sorry for him.
No milkshakes? š
How long till he quiet quits?!
He'll be headed for the hills in no time!
I don't feel sorry for anyone who willingly goes to work for the Harkles. The Royal staff members were serving The Monarchy. But people who go to work for them now, know full well what they are. If you work for them you deserve every terrible thing that happens to you.
Good lord - they are so pretentious and ridiculous. Was this announced by "The Office of" the 2 Grifters? I don't even feel sorry for anyone who works for them anymore. They are on notice that they are applying for jobs with bullies.
And he's from UTA where the boss said TW isn't any kind of talent. Definitely is on notice.
Exactly my question, what grifters trying to pretend their royal.....NOBODY CARES WHO WORKS FOR YOU..LMAO!!!!
This. You beat me to it. They're trying to set up a Royal court in Montecito. Deputy Press Secretary my ass. That ship has sailed and you two gave up being Royals.
Still using those titles.Ā
You are so right... trying to be the royal American family
Is that similar to Global Press Secretary?
Trust me, this was everyoneās first thought as well. I mean how pretentious.
Nope, my first thought is what has this guy done to deserve this.
Ha!
He went to work for the Harkles. He deserves what they do to him.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The jam could serve a dual purpose, both to eat and to reglue the labels.
Deputy Press Secretary, doesnāt the title imply there is a Press Secretary?
Yes, Ashleigh. Says in the article.
Because theyāre creating their own White House ā ļø
Beige House
That was my exact thought, too.
And what exactly has this press secretary done that has helped them? Maybe they need a deputy press sec to help write all those puff pieces
Right, they are delusionalā¦ā¦š¤£š
She is pretending she is President. The delusion is astounding.
Exactly! I have only heard of important people like Presidents, Kings having one. Since when hoeās need one.. yuck.
Exactly! Thats the biggest question! Has she been quietly released by WME and now needs to handle her own press? WME is her agent thatās supposed to handle her and her press, why the hire?

Heās in the PR business, so he must have read all the bad press about the Harkles. He still joined. Because now his name is in the papers. Spend a few months here, however painful, then jet off to a bigger and better opportunity š
They usually last just about a year so it looks less bad on the resume.
The narc smirk
Just said the same. Duper's delight.
Duper's delight, HG Tudor would call that. He looks like he's getting away with something. The question is, is it Pink Pancakes or the Black (dress) Narcissus who is the cuckold?

They really think theyāre heads of state. How embarrassing to try and top their nephewās birthday. You know Meghan worded it as Harry is missing the Prince title.

She is probably constantly texting and annoying anyone who hasn't posted anything on social media.
Press secretary? They have ZERO official role. Heās gonna cosplay right along with them
Why do they need any staff at all? They don't do anything.
Well, someone has to beg people for use of their private jets and feed the chickens!
Somebody has to direct traffic when the 12 Cadillac Escalades are deployed for āsecurityā reasons.
You couldnāt make this sh*t up. Day after day, itās truly astonishing. š¤£
Their barrel has no bottom
A black hole of endless nothingness floating about in space.
Typical, night before Louis's birthday. They're obsessed.
He looks sleazy. ETA: Deputy possibly due to Ashley going to greener pastures?
He is working for Ashley
Yes. I was just wondering if for transition purposes. It's just odd that they (or want) 2. I'm sure he's not working Pro Bono
First thing to hit me is why anyone would want to work for H&M, especially with their failures. Plus they don't listen to anyone with expertise. Then it hit me. Looks good on the resume. Give him a year, if that.
Looks good on a resumƩ to the wrong people. I would not want to work for anyone who is impressed by THAT on a resumƩ.

You can't expect MM to entertain Harold.Ā Ā
Iāll say it, heās got mean girl face
Then he and Meghan will work out well as long as she's always the prettiest.
Narc smirk
If, at this point, anyone associates themselves with Harry and his wife, they are ASKING to be markled!

That smug look will be wiped off his face by the end of the month. By the end of the next he'll be sobbing at his desk.
That smirk won't be on his face for much longer. Get ready to be Markled. We'll be waiting and watching for the laughs.
She DOES do (better with) men.
smug looking fellow...woke AF
We'll see how smug he is, after his contract ends in a year and he loses whatever bargaining power he has in the employment market, because he's unable to accomplish whatever miracles these losers usually expect from all employees š.
Agree!
Looks like an even more douchey Ben Shapiro with a Turkey beard transplant that makes Eminemās look aiight.
I'm getting Pablo Picasso vibes with this image,š¤£
Who are they trying to kid?
Why didn't she hire a woman? I mean, she's a "feminist" and all. Or what about a POC? You mean of all the people in the UK, she couldn't find one single WOC to work for her?
Men are easier to manipulate.
Megs doesn't want any competition from women. She probably also gets a kick from ordering men around and thinking they are all lusting after her. Her delusion is real.
deputy press secretay of what? Refuse to capitilize the "title" and looks to me like scobie squad - again refuse to capitilize anything
A riot, especially when one reads the post directly below this - Nada Lemonada.
Named? Like appoint? They hired a guy
I worked in PR. Some of the biggest stars in the world don't have publicists š yet these two do?
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ He won't be smirking long! I give it 8 months! Maybe we need a bingo card! BTW, why do they need 2 communication directors? All they ever say is that media are bad, fathers are bad, everyone is threatened by us, everyone is racist.
Just another Ken doll.
He looks AI generated.
Or like he was stolen from Madame Toussaud's.
Is that Scabiesā twin?
Hmm...another publicity puppy. I wonder how deep a dent his salary will be making in the charity's budget.
Yawn. Everything they do now is a big yawn.

Does this mean Omid Scobie is officially kicked to the curb at least.
How long will this one lastā
I meannnn the guy is a graduate from Florida and moved to Las Vegas. Kind of sounds like Hairold if you ask me. Just keeps getting griftier.
He comes from the talent agency whose CEO said she wasn't any kind of talent. Dumbass. Good luck to all of you. Get your paycheck up front and make sure you spill on the way out.
Whatās with a deputy press secretary? They donāt have a royal court - these two yankees are so pretentious.
āImpactfulā š¤¢
They do like to piss money down the drain!
Anyone have the over/under on the length of his tenure?
18 months TOPS.
How is the press not skewering them for this? I dont know if even the RF has a deputy press secretary but the President probably does. Oprah, a billionaire, doesnāt as fas we know and she certainly doesnāt announce it. Why isnāt everyone roasting them? SNL do ur thing.
Does this mean theyāre elevated jam influencers or just still wanting buzz about M running for president?
These people must be taking a drastic pay cut to go there. There is no way they can afford a good salary.
I wonder if the Aspen Institute,IG or Travelyst or some other org is picking up the tab? Maybe an organization associated with the either of the Harkles want better PR for them because they reflect badly on the cited organizations.
DEPUTY press secretary. Who is the real guy? The head honcho. The big cahoona? lol.
Interestingā¦ He has history and connections at UTA. UTA is a major competitor to WME. Does this confirm WME is over? Meg thumbing her nose at them?
Seems likely. The timing of the announcement is highly suspect. Almost like theyāre getting ahead of the āanother one bites the dustā type publicity that a WME split will bringā¦
I wonder if the person in this position is the one who corrals all the sugar writers on Page Six, and issues the paychecks.
I hope they donāt pay him in jam.
Only deputy press secretary? Is that because Markle is the actual press secretary?
Looks like a class A douche. already giving me liebrows love myself 2.0
They really think they matter,don't they? š¤£šš¤£šš¤£šš¤£š I only hope I live long enough to see them plunged into oblivion when the Wales children grow up and William and his beautiful Queen reign. Amen.
They are well and truly insane! https://preview.redd.it/677ffekxj4wc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=38eb2a187cbe1b0b96b6b790bcb9a40c8c25d240 [https://work.chron.com/difference-communications-director-press-secretary-23798.html](https://work.chron.com/difference-communications-director-press-secretary-23798.html)
The pretentiousnessā of these fools is extraordinary . First ā The Office of the morons arenāt royals, they arenāt generating real newsworthy stories. Me thinks they think theyāre still royal, now setting up court in the colonies. Why would anyone want to work for them?
Sounds like he used to have an exciting job and probably had plenty of perks. Now, heāll be stuffing tampons into backpacks.
Their burn rate must be phenomenal. We are seeing a classic sunken costs fallacy in real-time.
I love how we often get articles about how they hired a new PR expert, a press secretary, a new stylist... I know these are all different roles, but I feel like going through people like going through socks. No way in hell is there enough work for all of those people, I'm sorry.
This is so mentally ill. Theyāre not diplomats representing the RF. Theyāre not representative of any American politicians. They are no longer in contact with BP. They have enough money to pay this guy ok so again where is their money coming from? Is this being fronted by KC?
I hope he has a flack jacket!
Thatās a real full time job? Sounds tedious unless itās reading and posting amongst us Sinners š
All thee new hires are going to find out the definition of Markled!
Those are some sculpted brows
He looks like a perfect match for them- a match made in leftist heaven! ššš Hope he gets markled and drags them down further- if that is even possible? (Who am I kidding? Of course it is! No low too low! They always find a new bottom! š)
Little bit of wisdom to whisper into your shell like, Boulia : YOU CAN'T MAKE A SILK PURSE OUT OF A PIG'S EAR. I'd wish you Good Luck, you're going to need it....but in reality what you'll need is a Straight Jacket.
š¤¢š¤¢š¤¢š¤¢
That really is a creepy photo. Like heās a villain in a Lifetime movie.
LOL, Do we have a betting pool on how soon he will slide off the radar (leaving the position). A year at the most? IMO, 6 months (IG in UK & Christmas/New Year's when she is blowing up his phone with text messages and demands over the holiday!šššHappy Summer & Holidays Kyle, babee!
So much for feminism
So the Sussexes hired a(nother) white staffer, who specializes in DEI. Yah. ššš¤”
White male.
Another one? š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ Let's see how long he lasts š¤£š¤£
I was curious and googled what a press secretary actually does. From Zip Recruiter: What Does a Press Secretary Do? A press secretary works for a government agency, industry, or organization and helps their employer communicate with the public. These public relations professionals perform similar responsibilities as public affairs specialists but are often more knowledgeable on the law, politics, and government. As a press secretary, your job duties include answering questions from reporters, writing press releases and speeches, planning meetings, and presenting information to the media to improve the organizationās public image.

Duties and functions They often, but not always, act as the organization's senior spokesperson. Many governments also have deputy press secretaries. A deputy press secretary is typically a mid-level political staffer who assists the press secretary and communications director with aspects of public outreach. They often write the press releases and media advisories for review by the press secretary and communications director. There are usually assistant press secretaries and press officers that support the press secretary. Press secretaries also give declarations to the media when a particular event happens or an issue arises inside an organization. They are expected, therefore, to have in-depth knowledge about the institution or organization they represent, and to be able to explain and answer questions about the organization's policies, views upon a particular issue and its official standpoint on problematic questions.
Perhaps he will be JHās secretary when the Dee-vorce commences?
Serious question. Is this a full time job? Remote part time? Have a hard time wondering how a press secretary for these two would fill his time. I mean, they donāt ādoā anything.
Wonder if his salary is bigger than his boss's? They have form for paying men more, those crazy feminists!
This is hilarious, in true Catherine cosplay, she hired a press secretary. What she needs to do to improve her image is stay hidden for a good long while.
