The Harkles Desperate PR Campaign

With most of the Archewell team having resigned or being fired, the Harkles embarked on what seemed to be a desperate PR campaign at the start of 2026, with reports that Sunshine Sachs had been hired again. Well, who else in their right mind would take them on, but you know what that means — mass sugar press articles with an overload of rehashed puff stories, underhand ‘grey’ tactics, cult members being incentivised to post gushing comments on the duo and being paid to purchase TW’s tat, then to report and attack anyone that is critical of what they say or do. It’s Sunday, and I expect the return of SS as publicists has just cemented their reserved place in the place for baddies for enabling such treachery.

Most of the recent puff pieces had gone unnoticed by the press until the cult social media accounts posted them en masse to flood the feeds on X accounts. The first was the highly filtered appearance on Oprah Daily, where the duo made a brief appearance during an interview with Jonathan Haidt and Catherine Price as Gayle King interviewed them (8 January 2026).

To be honest, it looked like a comedy sketch with the filter making the duo look like plastic dolls, and Harold, as ever, stuttering, staccato style over his lines and even TW was seen to glance at the script. No one would have noticed if the social media posts hadn’t flooded feeds, but rather than to promote or applaud the book, everyone was mocking the unprofessional video clip that consisted as ever, of the banal word salad diatribe they spout. Is that the best that they can do as ‘producers’ of Archewell Productions, where they can’t even set up a camera for a video interview correctly? Who in their right mind would hire or use Archewell Productions if they want to be taken seriously?

Archewell Philanthropies appears to be still in the restructuring process (moving from Archewell Foundation), and Harold makes another pointless visit to firefighters, but this time with Watch Duty app. The entity will take several months for the paperwork to be completed, so technically it doesn’t exist, shouldn’t be taking donations (highly improbable anyone wants to donate) and can’t issue grants, so all they can do is some PR and Watch Duty appeared to provide that.

Did Harold donate any money or was it just another photo op to try and claim ties with the neighbourhood? It gained little press attention (bar the usual rags of People) because, well, it served no purpose at all but appeared to be a distraction for the real story and that is the ANL trial, where on the same day as the ‘firefighter visit’ the media reported that Harold’s legal team had been accused of conspiracy, dishonesty and fraud, and that was in one of the Sussex friendly papers.

This follows the court decision that Harold’s legal team should have access to the research team’s documents prior to being officially hired in 2020 as they were being referred to in the case (Sherborne argued that they didn’t have full access but partial access and had no duty to share documents with ANL). Therefore, all of the documents should have been shared with ANL prior to the trial.

In the documents were emails outlining what seemed like a conspiracy to carry out ‘legal camouflage’ in order to circumvent the timeline when the Claimants could say they had knowledge of the unlawful information gathering to bypass the time limits to claim. Claimants were told of this ‘plan’ and were aware of this, although they may not have understood the legal ramifications, but that was the job of their legal counsel to explain it to them. Based on these ‘camouflage’ actions, some Claimants chose to pursue legal action and others did not. The Harkle PR did not want anyone to focus on the underhand tactics of Harold’s research team.

The ‘prove it’ video clips

When things get desperate, TW posts random ‘prove it’ videos on her beloved social media account to detract from the negative press that TW and Harold are solely responsible for. After the laughable Oprah video clip came more cringeworthy content. TW appears to be obsessed with showing off how wonderfully wealthy she is now, and that the ‘love story’ with Harold continues. Yet, money doesn’t buy class, style, integrity or respect. It may buy a handful of faux pals for a while, but look at how many have ghosted the duo recently…

TW fails to realise that the real world is not one of a Mills & Boon novel, or a syrupy Hallmark film, and her audience with limited minds are those who think that the portrayed ‘fairytale’ is real life. The rest of us are just laughing and mocking the Harkles and their cult audience, and it is indeed a farcical pantomime, but with damaging consequences for the British Royal Family and the UK.

What is TW trying to ‘prove’ or not prove as she claims? That her ‘love story’ is perfect and is one to be envied, that she has a ‘castle’ of her own, that she’s the perfect mother spending time with her children (who are faceless) taking them to the zoo and who can draw a perfect shopping list, and that she is an acclaimed hostess with friends? The truth is that she stalked Harold after he dumped her in 2016/17, the house is highly mortgaged, and as for the vegetable shopping list, didn’t she show footage of her allegedly picking vegetables from the garden so why would she need to buy any? She told us all that she has no time to cook for them and gives them chicken nuggets and tater tots from the freezer!

The black and white ‘frolic’ video was allegedly filmed by ‘our daughter’ where TW was seen frolicking across the grass, then dancing awkwardly with Harold, each pausing when they didn’t know whose turn it was to under duck the arms. When in doubt, just grope, kiss and straddle—yes, just behave inappropriately in front of a child! However, what does ‘our daughter’ mean? The faceless child has no name (or title), so technically no one knows who shot the video but no one believes a 3ft child, aged 4 would be able to hold and move a camera to film people twice her height (the camera would have to look up). Now, if TW had said Misan Harriman had astrally projected himself from the UK to the USA to film the video, that would have been more believable in the grand scheme of things than a 4 year old child.

The observations appeared to get to TW, and the following day she posted a montage of clips including one of the ‘frolic’ where Harold gropes TW’s ass and she moves it because it’s content they are filming, and a child’s voice is edited in to try and prove the child filmed the video. Of course it proves nothing, but this is all about appearances and ‘brand Sussex Royal’ except she’s not allowed to use that, but both of the Harkles are monetising their royal titles indirectly— TW, using her title when advertising her As ever brand, and Harold uses his title at his speaking gigs. The video clips just highlighted how desperate and thirsty she is for attention and her desire to try and control the narrative.

The ANL trial

Invictus is the only real entity Harold can use now that there is no way back to Sentebale, and the announcement of the Invictus Spirit Awards (to be held 17 September 2026) came on 26 January 2026, just after Harold gave evidence at the ANL trial. What an unnecessary waste of funds, because that’s what an awards event is and just a way to network, spend some marketing money for PR and a party. I’m sure the £50k it will cost (at least) could be better spent on practical help for veterans in need. What use is an award sitting on a shelf gathering dust, and is spending vast amounts of money on a gala dinner the best use of grants and funding?

Harold arrived at the ANL trial on 19 January 2026, so had obviously arrived in the UK the day before at the very least. He smiled and waved to the media because there were no crowds to cheer him. He was due to give evidence on 22 January, but ANL had finished their opening ahead of schedule and Harold had to give evidence a day earlier on 21 January.

In a previous trial, Harold’s legal team were reprimanded for failing to ensure Harold was available to give evidence when the court session was ahead of schedule. They made sure not to make the same mistake, but then accused ANL of tactics by finishing earlier than scheduled so that there was no time to ‘coach’ Harold. That is typical of a side that is biased because court sessions often overrun, and each party estimates how much time they need to present their case, and it is better to finish earlier rather than to exceed the time allocated and incur the wrath of the judge.

During the session, Harold appeared to be performing to a script and saying irrelevant things in order to get them on the record in the public domain such as ‘the media had made his wife’s life a misery’ when the case involves events from 1993- 2011 when he hadn’t even met her. Well, his wife has made the life of millions of Britons a misery for the past 8 years, and we have to endure it until C3 decides to man up, or until William is in charge, and we get no compensation.

Mr Justice Nicklin reprimanded Harold no less than 3 times for ‘arguing’ with the ANL barrister (White), by questioning him. The judge reminded Harold that he was there to answer the questions and that is all (not to argue the case), and the barrister’s job is to ask the questions and not him. Most would have been held in contempt of court after the second infraction, but it appears his ducal title saved his neck yet again. Observers claimed he looked emotional and was about to cry. Who knows? Perhaps he had been taking acting lessons from TW as we saw him carry out a comedy skit with Stephen Colbert recently complete with lip synching?

There were inconsistent stories, where Harold claimed to use the handle Mr Mischief on Facebook to contact a journalist. He also claimed he did not have a good relationship with Rebecca English when it was suggested that she had been part of UIG (unlawful information gathering) back in 2007 obtaining Chelsy Davy’s flight number and seat details. Anyone that has worked in the industry would know that seat details are never confirmed until a passenger has physically checked in, and passenger details aren’t confirmed either, and so it’s highly likely that the information gathered wasn’t accurate, or would even cause a security risk as claimed. Besides the fact, the airports are generally aware of VIPs arriving and some paparazzi are tipped off, but most of the airport staff are informed for security reasons and to help them move VIPS through the airport swiftly (I’ve worked at several London airports and was told of various VIPs arriving or departing for this reason).

Harold appeared to have some time on his hands having given evidence a day earlier than expected, and it was reported that he allegedly had lunch with Doreen Lawrence at the House of Lords. It seems that the Harkle PR leaked the information as only the sugary outlets reported on it (including Shifty), while some appeared to dress up the meeting as Harold in Parliament. Either way, it was a sad attempt at some PR for Harold after a poor performance in court, because to be told by the judge to answer the question (several times) shows contempt and arrogance.

The Harkle PR team were quick to jump on the Trump bandwagon as the latter made inappropriate comments on UK troops during the war in Afghanistan. Harold’s PR quickly whipped up a press release, oops, I meant a statement for him citing Article 5 of NATO, and how many UK troops had died in the Afghanistan conflict. This was pure PR, using Harold’s status as a veteran but writing using his royal titles.

Now we all know this was a political statement and members of the RF are not permitted to comment on political matters or to respond to political comments, therefore, it was not Harold’s place (or C3’s or William’s) to comment on what Trump said.

It was the elected official Starmer, whose role it was to respond on behalf of the country, and as much as most of the country despises him, that was his job. The PR stunt was not finished, as the team provided TW with a video clip of Invictus Games images and Harold in the army for her to post on social media. If anything, that just proved the statement was a PR stunt aimed at riling up the cult to pat him on the back, however, everyone in the UK (that is sane and with a working brain) knew he was speaking out of turn and that his words were inappropriate given his status as the RF must remain neutral in all political matters. All it did was open the door for former army comrades to state that Harold didn’t do a full tour as claimed (a tour is 6 months and Harold did 10 weeks for one stint and 4 months for another), but served with a full protection detail. Again, the PR appeared to backfire, and while Harold’s statement did make the news on some platforms, it was unimportant and irrelevant and was seen as meddling in political issues. Was Harold trying to assert his royal status by making an inappropriate (for his status) comment?

Sundance PR

The duo’s appearance at Sundance was not a surprise, so why dumb rag mag reporters claimed it was just goes to highlight their stupidity and ineptness. Back in December 2025, it was announced that Archewell Productions has ‘purchased’ Cookie Queens, an independent documentary, meaning the dastardly duo had inserted themselves as executive producers for ‘editing’ as the documentary had been wrapped up already.

It was a small price to pay for some much needed PR, meaning they could saunter around Sundance to plug Archewell Productions, and as ever, it provided more photo ops that they could control and stage with vulnerable young girls who don’t have a clue who they really are or what harm and damage they have done in the world. Nevertheless, it looks like Netflix who have a first look deal passed on this project.

This was just another photo op using gullible people, namely young girls and independent film makers who need funding wherever they can find it. As ever, TW turned up looking well, messy with her bronzer and self-tan patchy on her face, and her outfits were ill fitting with a coat that was too big and trousers that dragged on the floor again. At least Harold’s clothes fitted him as he showed up in smart casual attire, but as ever, there were the gratuitous hugging of children photos for the paparazzi. I wonder who funded the trip for the girls and their families to attend Sundance for the weekend? As for Harold, the faceless children must wonder who he is after spending a week ‘performing’ at the Royal Courts of Justice during the ANL case, then returning to pose at Sundance while they are left at home without any parents (again).

Money seems to be tight for many of us, even for Harold who has taken on another speaking gig which is being promoted already. He’s a keynote speaker at the IAPP (International Association of Privacy Professionals) in Washington D.C., being held 30 March-2 April 2026. He has no qualifications, but will talk about his experiences…

Meanwhile, TW is still flogging her As ever tat, and is bundling items up in sets and edits in an attempt to offload them as limited editions. Sunshine Sachs appears to be incentivising the cult to purchase items and to post images of their orders and goods online to ‘prove’ how successful the brand is. Really? You think that a random nutter buying 40 sets of overpriced spread and honey is realistic (and spending over $1,000) and will encourage and influence others to buy an item they have never tried? Most of it looks as if they are being resold on eBay, as often ‘influencers’ are given an amount to spend on items with the view to being reimbursed after posting a review on social media, so they don’t get money but the value of the goods that they can then try to sell for money.

Is this a tax loophole? There are new laws for influencers (people who get goods for free and promote them on social media) where the full retail value of the goods can be considered taxable income, and so the IRS can come after them if they don’t declare the goods on their annual returns. Should Sunshine Sachs be audited, then if they had provided cult members or influencers with As ever packages/goods, then they will be liable for paying tax on those goods. Are they even aware of this? The same is in the UK, if a social media influencer accepts free goods, then they can be taxed on the retail value of the items as they can be considered as revenue and payment in kind. So, all those people who have accepted free ‘As ever’ packages and who have posted images on social media must declare the full retail value on their tax returns and pay tax on them. Perhaps people might think twice about signing for a parcel now?

With the possibility of Archewell entities being audited, the phrase ‘follow the money’ seems to be ringing out loud and clear, and for some it may cause sleepless nights as a money trail may lead to them and a knock on the door. You see, NDAs are acceptable for members of staff, former partners, and even ‘friends’ but those who work in a professional capacity for the government, or other public services cannot sign a legally binding NDA (without loss of pensions and healthcare at the very least). They can be however persuaded and incentivised to bury paperwork or to turn a blind eye, and there’s no doubt that some Harkle ‘issues’ in the UK were probably resolved in that way, but the RF has no sway in the USA. Let’s just say that some who work in the public sector might not be sleeping well if there is a full audit of the Archewell entities, and some might even be seeking to ‘make deals’ to get ahead of potential situations. However, silencing people with cash is reprehensible whether it’s a bribe or a payment in kind, and shouldn’t people be allowed to tell their truth if in their opinion they have been treated badly?

The ANL trial continues and ‘Operation Bluebird’ appeared to be the name of the camouflage operation. Perhaps Harold doesn’t care if he loses because he has been using the courts to air his grievances in public while being protected against prosecution (he can make allegations without being sued while he claims this is his truth and what he believes)? The trial will continue into March, but the question people should be asking is whether some of the Claimants were misled (by Harold and his legal team) into believing they had a case to pursue when what they sought was other high profile names to strengthen Harold’s case? If so, and they are required to pay legal fees, will Harold cough up? It was reported that Harold would cover Lawrence’s fees as he convinced her to make the claim, and in the event he has to, will he do so, and if so does he have the funds?
