Hi guys, sorry for the lack of updates – busy with work…
Thanks for the latest, BRW.
I wonder how much of the money raised will go to Quintessential? They are very expensive. The Telegraph reported they were hired for the after party and other events to attract celebrities.
Good to know Prince Harry wasn’t injured in the fall. They said in one linked artcle from yesterday that he fell for cash for the charity but I don’t believe it because the same article said he was offered twice as much to stay on the horse. I bet he would go for twice the amount.
Not nice the Prime Minister in Barbados has come out against him.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/expat/expatfeedback/4195003/Barbados-breakaway-over-King-Harry.html
Otherwise I’m glad they won the polo match. They seem to have been the better team.
Guys, here is a video from CBS and Robert Jobson on Harry’s trip to Barbados and the Palace’s efforts for the princes:
http://tinyurl.com/yct22fk
That Telegraph article is years old.
The Telegraph article was originally posted in post # 141 of the last Harry news thread by Nyme. I guess because it pertains to Harry and Barbados.
Thanks for the video Rman. I think his white trousers with the black and white shirt and with that T are cool.
Thank you very much for the video Rman. I also thought it a better video of Harry’s dancing.
Just a heads up, Owen Arthur, then prime minister in Barbados strongly favours a republic. He promised his country a referendum on this very subject in 2005. He was doing his best to whip up support for it anyway he could.
Nevertheless, the referendum got waylaid and Arthur was booted out two years ago.
He tried to hang on as leader of his party, but in the end stepped down.
I guess politicians are the same everywhere. They will jump on anything and everything if it gets them voted.
Needless to say I am cynical when it comes to politicians.
Perish the thought if Harry dances like that all the time.
Thea Garwood (blond in the boat)’s boyfriend is an executive of Quintessentially, and she used to work for them.
i am pretty sure he doesn’twork for Quintessentially anymore.
he most likely got the job from working with prince charles and camilla … Thea would have nothing to do with the charity
that whole crowd uses Quint —
harry and williams peers
jemima khan hugh grant i could go on
I don’t see the problem if known family persons are hired to do works for the POW, DOC, PW and PH.
I’ve been look for pics of Thea Garwood to compare. Does anyone have any?
http://www.elsemanaldigital.com/imagenes/fotosdeldia/Thea-Garwood.jpg
Me…. Thanks. I’m not sure if that is her on the polo field or not. Hopefully more pics will surface.
Meanwhile, about PH’s dancing, I was reminded of PC who on a tour somewhere embarassed the whole of England by dancing. He started off okay and then finally ended up danding the Black Bottom.
I think Phoebe was referring to Thea Garwood in the boat with Prince William and Australian Open (Tennis) game during his trip. And since we where discussing about Quintessentially. Apparently Thea’s boyfriend is an executive in that company.
I hope I understood it that way. Anyway Phoebe, yes thank you. At the RIF people where asking who that blond was, and its TG.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedia/photo_gallery/1001/tennis.australian.open.celebs/content.1.html
I don’t think that was TG. She is an employee. She would never behave like that if she wanted to keep her job, not to mention drinking champagne on duty.
The postings is getting a bit confused. Phoebe you had mentioned TG for the purpose of pointing out about the Blond at William’s trip, right? And who works for Q, right?
This has nothing to do with the other blond that’s with Harry!
Do I have it right?
Yes. I thought Hale suggested that she might be the blond that kissed Harry on the polo field.
http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/95821935/Getty-Images-News
No, I think Hale got a bit confussed with the sudden inclusion of “the blond in the boat with William” and not relating it to Q.
For those who don’t know, Quintessentially hosted the charity parties in Barbados. The DM claims that one of the top executives is the DOC’s nephew. (Personally and IMO, I don’t see a problem with family gaining work, there’s a reason of trust and compromise – better yet to get the job well done).
That would be some pretty weird behavior for an employee. She is dressed inappropriately and has alcohol in her hand and no shoes. All of the indivdiuals who travelled with William including Thea on the boat were dressed quite professionally so this is very out of character if it is indeed her…..To tall to be chelsy and I agree the hair color is wrong to be chelsy.
Regarding Posts @ 16 & 18. It wasn’t me who suggested that a girl ran up to Harry and kissed him and whatsmore, I do not know what post BOTH of you are referring to.
Meanwhile, I found this article on TG, used the google translator from Spanish to English.
http://tinyurl.com/yfvb7qm
We were referring to your post @ 12 Hale.
JJ its seems to me someone running like that or has enough trust to get that close to Harry (and it is weird) or is a crazy fan who dashed to get a kiss.
Me….I mentioned no kissing.
I think the flitting to and fro forums must have confused others.
By the way, this is Apes Hill, Barbados.

One doesn’t flit, and one is not confused.
the girl is too small to be Thea
i don’ t think it is thea

I’m not sure what everyone is talking about with the “blonde in the boat”, but I noticed the New Zealand Herald also had a video clip of William piloting the boat while he was over there, and there was a blonde in that boat and you can see her face pretty well. Here’s that clip, too.

Could someone put up a link to the pics of “the girl kissing Harry, barefoot with champaign”? I’m not seeing them. Thanks!
^^^ whoops, wrong clip. Here’s the right one of William;

Go to comment #158 at the prior series of posts (under Royal news Links).
New pic of Harry.

^^^ Found it! So no one figured out who it was? I would guess had to be someone they already knew – I wouldn’t think they would let a stranger get that close to a member of the royal family for security reasons. I would also think it would have to be someone that couldn’t be a “potential girlfriend” or the press would have had a field day with the picture. And if it was Chelsy, I would think they would have put it in the paper with her name in the caption.
The BBC has a better “Harry falling off his horse” video clip where you can hear him ( or someone ) saying “did you get that on film” – here it is -
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8490635.stm
i was thinking luke tomlinson’s girlfriend?
someone wfrom Britain who is in Barbados — seemed a sort of carefreetype
but luke’s girlfriend is ahemmmmm
well a bit taller and has brown hair and has had a colourful past to say the least!
Prince Harry complained the picture made him too ginger, he said (from the telegraph):
”I don’t know, I’m a little bit more ginger in there than I am in real life, I think, I don’t know, and he (william) got given more hair so, apart from that, it is what it is, but no it’s nice, it could have been worse.”
Sorry, but could you ever imagine, prince felipe of spain do this comment? No of course. I really think Harry is stupid (I used to like him) but now this guy must grow up. No tact and no diplomacy. He is just so unclever. I’m disapointed. Every time he does something good, there is something stupid from him in the same way. He is not the future crown prince, but it’s not a reason not to show some kindness and politness. He too much rude. To be part of the RF is not just be kind with the babies. I understand more and more why Chelsy is really not a good choice for him. Him rude, and her so tacky.
What do you think ?
NYme after watching the video, definitely tongue and cheek. I don’t think the painter will feel offended.
Phoebe @16
“Yes. I thought Hale suggested that she might be the blond that kissed Harry on the polo field.”
I didn’t suggest anything. That was another poster over at RIF #125.
Hale @23
“I think the flitting to and fro forums must have confused others.”
Phoebe @25
“One doesn’t flit, and one is not confused.”
Clearly the evidence shows otherwise.
Well, then, I ain’t the only one honey. You sure do mix confuse things.
Can you substantiate?
Hale, didn’t want to get further into, but why mix the to and fro, clearly we (I would believe Phoebe and I) stick to the BRW discussion. Your posts @ 10 and 12 under the title “Prince Harry in Barbados” is very clear.
Post 10: I’ve been look for pics of Thea Garwood to compare. Does anyone have any?
Post 12: Me…. Thanks. I’m not sure if that is her on the polo field or not. Hopefully more pics will surface.
Meanwhile, about PH’s dancing, I was reminded of PC who on a tour somewhere embarassed the whole of England by dancing. He started off okay and then finally ended up danding the Black Bottom.
Previous to the above (earlier yesterday), under the title “Royal News Links 315”, I wrote @ 158
Post 158: I need help to identify this lady.

Then you posted @ 165
Post 165: (will post the paragraph related to the unknown blond lady in question)
As to who the girl is at the polo match with Harry……I have no idea, but I can tell you that the blading man is Miguel Head. Press Secretary to PW & PH.
Today’s a new day, cheers.
Hale, most of the posters, when you read scrolling down, read it that way. If you scroll down from post 1 onwards, you’ll get it.
Me, I knew it was JLP, for pity’s sake, I have seen him enough times, but I did feel the need to address a point about PR in a roundabout way.
As to my posts about Thea Garwood, yep I asked for more pics on TG and I said I hoped more pics would surface, but where did I say or suggest she ran on the polo field and kissed Harry?
I didn’t see any pics of anyone kissing Harry on the polo field in Barbados. This was suggested over at RIF by another poster who incidentally was not me.
So you see, flit and fro.
Okay, needless to say, there aren’t any other pics of women on the polo field. Perhaps on the tents and sidelines.
Shall we move on
Not to bring it up again, but it occured to me the “blonde who kissed Harry” could be the wife or the daughter of the businessman who Harry was talking about, who offered him a hundred thousand dollars for not falling off his horse. I wonder why none of the papers used it? It’s kind of like the “girl who kissed William” picture.
I was also wondering does Sir Charles Williams who owns Apes Hill have any daughters?
I’m not sure, but I happen to think that is the guy on the left of PH on the fishing boat.
Good Morning,
Myme, I really do think Harry was just trying to be a little funny in describing the portrait, especially since he talked about his hair and William’s hair. I do know what you mean though, you thought he should have been a bit more serious and praise the artists vision for the portrait. I guess he just liked to express the funny side to it all.

My heart goes out to the friends and family of those two poor soldiers.
Same here. It’s such a tough war and many lives are on the line. I just wish it all ended.
Interesting points, Nyme. Glad you weren’t ripped to pieces for speaking your mind. I disagree on some points but he is very immature for a man 25.
He should have skipped that interview. ‘It could have been worse’ was a real kick in the teeth to the artist and an opinion best left unsaid.
i think that girl was one of the daughter business man that donate the charity fund in the polo match when he fall in the horse i think they lose
Rman
you said :”I really do think Harry was just trying to be a little funny in describing the portrait, especially since he talked about his hair and William’s hair. I do know what you mean though, you thought he should have been a bit more serious and praise the artists vision for the portrait. I guess he just liked to express the funny side to it all”.
Yes of course, but it’s the problem! now he just can’t anyme behave like this. He is 25, and a member of the most illustrious RF in the world, and everything he said is reported in the press. It’s time to grow up, say something clever for a change, nice too, not always speaking about hairs… I just think ths guy has nothing to say if this is not wrote for him. I am very very disapointed. Of course it’s a little thing, but those little things means a lot about the behaviour of a person and it just shows in this case the lack of respect for others (in this case for the painter). Do you thing victoria of sweden if a double portrait was done of her and madeleine would say that : it could have been worse. Of course not. Harry dont understand how to behave properly sometimes. If only his father forced him to study at school, to read, to learn, Harry today would have something to say other than mocked and find fun everywhere.
Rman you got it right first time. Harry was trying to be funny and did come across as funny. At least that was how it was appeased over here.
I guess not everyone understands British humour.
Nyme: “Yes of course, but it’s the problem! now he just can’t anyme behave like this. He is 25, and a member of the most illustrious RF in the world…”
I kind of understand what you mean. There is a form of rating the Headline and Content of the person in question when checking out what the editors of the Media decide to put in UK and worldwide.
Well doing the exercise to find out, this is what I found:
1) Temper tantrum fall from the horse
2) His ginger hair
One needs to be beware of the Media, remember it has been proved they Do have the power to convince the majority of the masses with the content they decide to display.
No one is perfect…
Rman has posted somewhere on this site of Diana breaking down in tears. If you go to You Tube, you can watch the whole Monarchy at Work documentary, PP is also throwing a tantrum, and I think it is also in that documentary you see the Q throwing a hissy fit. PC to has lost his cool on the polo field not only that he was caught on camera moaning about the media whilst ski-ing and PW told a cameraman to **** ***.
One does need to be aware of the media, but I guess when you are born in the spotlight it isn’t always easy to reign yourself in. Although that is exactly what George V & QM did to the degree they were that way with their own children.
No one is perfect.
Yes, I have seen all the youtube’s and that comparisons you refer to Hale.
Would this be a recurrent behaviour or learning life experiences trial and correct of Harry, time will tell.
I may not agree with the entire content of posts of each and every one of us, we do each have a mind of our own.
And in relation to the media and the masses, I use the word beware, because the media does have the power to choose what they want to display and not.
In the display and not, one is not, most of the time positively sure if what the display is the reality or
1) a message tendency they want the masses to believe.
2) a selling product
Of course media technology is numero uno, business wise, its hard to negate when the person in question is: voice, video and data.
Someone said that the media is the message. I am seeing it all the time. Some in the media see Harry one way focus on what he did after the fall. Two people can see that and one could think that it was a display of anger while another could say that it was a display of disappointment. One of our news colmmentators called Harry a Patriot. Depending on the perspective of the journalist it either shows Harry in a good or not so good light.
Yes Kat, that is why I had mentioned the rating on the Headlines and Content.
If the majority of the H and C’s (referring to headlines and content) – choice of the editors – reflecting PH in a bad manner (describing the photo), then you will get the “awareness” of – for example – the Daily Mail, 5 million plus readers, that Harry is short fused/temper.
We are a minority who have more interest/knowledge on the BRF – we get more information, analysis, etc. about the royals, thanks to the dedicated blogs.
Good Morning,
I would just like to mention that when Harry’s horse fell at the polo match, Harry got upset because a nice businessman offered $100.000 to Harry’s charity, Sentebale but only if Harry would stay on the horse. So when Harry came tumbling off the horse during that game, Harry thought he had lost the bet for his charity and that got him upset. The good part is Harry still got the money for the charity because as it turns out the horse fell not Harry. So before we go all off on Harry’s bad temper, lets remember that he was trying to do whats best for Sentebale.
I think it’s time we all grow up and stop focusing on these unnecessary things, so Harry got upset in front of the media because he nearly lost money for his charity. He was thinking of his charity my friends. We have to understand that it’s not always easy to keep your cool in front of the media. The royals are humans before they are royal.
We the royal bloggers know that.
Rman, the blogs would be boring if the posters do not present their opinions and views.
Yeah, I guess you are right Me.
Rman, thanks for reminding everyone of the above.
Harry is quite an emotional character, you know. It’s much easier to press his buttons, so to speak, than it is William’s. I’m sure that given time he will be able to have a bit more self control.
Harry over here in the UK is seen as a bit of a colourful character. He will always be the one to give the press a good story, one way or another. However, he is also very well liked. A great many people will not forget just how old (or young) he was when his mother died.
I’d also just like to say the the boy did good in Barbados. Hope we’ll continue to see more of the same.
Well said Lady B.
As for the media, one has to read between the lines and one shouldn’t pay any mind to comment pages.
Unfortunately, some mean spirited people are determined to make something out of nothing when it comes to the fall off the horse.
If there was any truth in it the media would say it. PH is fair game unlike some.
The accusations are too silly for words. There are no saints here.
To clarify about Public Relations and the British Royal Family, including Harry. There is a large distinction between a PR firm and a press secretary.
Though there have been several attempts to launch and relaunch Charles and they’re still going on as we speak, they’ve all been by amateurs. I mean Buckingham Palace has never hired a professional public relations outfit let alone a Madison Avenue type and they would throw up their hands in horror at the very idea. What it means is that some of Charles’ press secretaries have been better than others as some of the Queen’s press secretaries have been better than others. They tend to be civil servants, often diplomats drawn from the Foreign Office, who may be very pleasant, intelligent people, but once they get inside the Palace they’re riveted to the status quo and they lose track of public opinion in the real world.
And so it goes.
My last post in this string gave my thoughts on this effort that has reportedly raised a good deal of money.
That may have been the case many years ago, but times changed.
Dickie Arbiter the Q’s former press secretary began his career in TV & Radio during the 60′s.
Ronald Allison another of the Q’s former press secretaries began his career working for the BBC.
Mark Bolland, before working for the POW. Bolland used to work for the Press Complaints Commission before working for the POW.
He first formed his own company AFTER he left the office of the POW.
I agree that some press secretaries have been better than others, but for me the problem is their advisers.
eg: When Diana died one of the Q’s advisers was none of than Robert Fellowes, Diana’s brother in law. I don’t feel he advised the Q at all well during that era.
