Not even a month ago, Jose Andres joined the board of Earthshot, aka Prince William’s environmental busywork scheme. Prince William’s office could not just allow the announcement to land without commentary. Of course not. An unnamed source gloated to the Daily Beast that Prince William “poached” Andres FROM the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. You know, because Harry and Meghan have supported Andres and World Central Kitchen for years, and have even donated to WCK and put a spotlight on WCK to drive more donations. Harry and Meghan are also friendly with Jose at a personal level. But that didn’t stop that unnamed source from announcing that Andres joining the Earthshot board was “humiliating” for… the Sussexes and “Andrés has chosen to be allied with the future king of England, and Harry and Meghan will have to either accept it or cut ties with him themselves.”
Crash cut to Tuesday in New York, at the Clinton Global Initiative. Both Andres and Prince Harry spoke at CGI separately, about different subjects. The Daily Mirror even crowed that “Prince Harry avoids run-in with pal who now works for Prince William.” So now Chef Jose Andres, founder of World Central Kitchen and a global humanitarian, works FOR Prince William? What a colonialist attitude. Anyway, the Mirror got it completely wrong, saying outright that Andres and Harry avoided each other and something something it’s all very “humiliating” for Harry that Jose Andres “works for” William. Except that on Wednesday, Andres posted some photos from his appearance at CGI, and look at that. He ran into Harry after all. How humiliating for William, to see his EMPLOYEE behaving with such friendliness towards the charismatic brother. How humiliating for William that his disgustingly colonialist attitude towards “poaching” the Sussexes’ charitable partner blew up in his hairy egg face.
Another incredible year at @ClintonGlobal…catching up with good friends and getting inspired by so many grassroots leaders on the frontlines of creating a better world! pic.twitter.com/L2dX0lDQ6l

Remember how Harry said the royals are more concerned with how it looks not how it feels? All these articles I can assure you that these friends of Sussexes poached by William do not have direct contact with or have probably never spoken to William, I’m not even sure outside his aristo set William has any friends same with his pick me wife but he doesn’t care because the papers will manufacture friends for him and make him look better than he actually is and that’s all he cares about.
I wonder how the wales children are being raised because their parents are still struggling with intense complexes in their 40’s, it’s not normal for a literal future king to be pursued by a deep feeling of inadequacy in comparison to his younger brother it is sad and pathetic
“…it’s not normal for a literal future king to be pursued by a deep feeling of inadequacy in comparison to his younger brother it is sad and pathetic.”
Example A: The former Prince Charles.
And before that, Elizabeth felt inadequate compared to Margaret, at least in her early years on the throne. Margaret had all the natural gifts, as does Harry.
Huevo, cluck, Elizabeth, George VI… it’s a multigenerational trauma of imposter syndrome.
That’s my Prince 😍 TEAM SUSSEX 😍
Absolutely!! I can faintly hear Peg screaming from across the pond no he is mine mine mine not yours Harold!
Believe me Andres is not playing those childish games with the KP crew.
W: Andres is MINE! Africa is MINE! The UN is MINE!
Well that’s because Harry and Chef Andres are normal people who don’t see the world and interactions with other humans as snubs and poaches. Earthshot on it’s face isn’t a bad idea, it’s problem is that it’s patron is a terminally insecure child who only started it to compete with his brother. Their goals aren’t bad though with actual care behind them. Which is why Michael Bloomberg has clearly relegated William to Zoom in regards to it. And of course the British media had to refer to Chef Andres in a colonialist manner, that’s the entire way that they see the world. Just a series of countries, people, events, and organizations that are there to fluff up their heir and show absolute devotion and loyalty to him outside of their own interest.
Which source misinformed those papers about JA’s relationship to Harry? Whoops.
Andres ia not on the board of directors of Earthshot. He agreed to be an awards judge.
and he would do it even if Will wasn’t part of it. The guy just wants to make the world a better place. It is the BRF and the tabloids treating charity work like a loyalty test.
God, THIS! Philanthropy is not a full contact sport.
yes, it is wild to witness. There actually has always been a strain of selfishness in philanthropy due to how it has been used to build legacy and clean up reputations but the way TOB has framed everything, a child unwilling to share toys in a sandbox, really is ludicrous and pathetic.
Even if he was on the board, that’s not how nonprofit boards work …. board members aren’t employees, they’re leadership.
sshhhhh, let’s keep that info @raindrop a secret.lol I’m often entertained by the dumb*ss articles the BM puts out. Like water stories and stink from a bird sanctuary. The list is long.
Jose Andres will always do good. He’s not afraid.
Shows how completely out of touch the Wales organization is. The Chief is an international humanitarian who runs to help those in need all over the globe with hot meals in a time of incredible stress. The Wales team sits at homes plotting while running to try to humiliate the better brother who uses his platform to highlight and offer support for the least among us. Folks of the caliber of the Chief and Harry are busy thinking of how they can best serve and the Wales team are busy thinking of oneupmanship. The Wales team is an embarrassment.
Are they out of touch? Or are they just big, fat liars?
How about a b̶i̶t̶ lot of both?
😁
There are many gross things about William. Surely, one of the most gross is his belief that he can “own” humans and whole continents. He really does his utmost to embody the colonialist spirit.
I just picture him like a bawling toddler screaming “Mine, mine mine!” while looking at the picture of Harry and Andres.
This entire thing has been such a disaster, I’m sorry but if I was Andres I would be livid at being used as a weapon against someone who has been a friend and supporter. Peggy and his mouth pieces using others as weapons against The Sussex’s is not only immature, petty and hateful it is a horrible representation of a Monarchy that is supposed to represent the nation of Englands values and the values of the CoE. Peggy better grow up and fast he is one funeral away from a coronation and the public is questioning exactly what they are paying for, half a billion pounds is a lot of expense to run a hate campaign with no end or low in sight. Because let’s face it that is all WanK has done since Meghan arrival, that is the only work they have done for almost a decade now. This entire narrative was absolutely disgusting and embarrassing for the Monarchy, and Peggy in particular. Prince Harry comes out of this looking like the adult Prince.
Pretty sure the Chief does not know of or read that nonsense. And in the off chance he has, he probably checked in with the Sussexes and the Sussexes would not have an issue with this type of oneupmanship because of its petty nature.
That is why I stated that, “l would be livid if I was him”. I dont know how or if Chef Andres had any reaction, but It is insulting and childish to use others in a personal vendetta. Peggy and the BRF look petty, immature and unprofessional. Prince Harry and Chef Andres behavior has been respectful and professional.
If he knows this is his answer
He has a lot of contacts, so to assume him unaware means that nobody at all has asked him about it which is unlikely.
Well I saw people online acting like Andres betrayed Harry and Meghan (supporters) which was nonsense then and is nonsense now. Everyone here is grown. Of course Jose can do both things. And it was never going to be Harry or Meghan throwing a fit about it. Looking at you BeardScruffMcGruff.
Embarrassing.
They are such an unserious people: the BRF and the tabloid media.
I used to be so angry with them and now I just smile at their shenanigans.
I wonder if Andres saw this nonsense of signing up as a judge for Earthshot makes him an employee of the future king of England, and his pictures on his page is his hold my beer. This is so insulting to Andres; and it makes William look lie Joffrey Baratheon 2.0.
Very embarrassing for earthshot in my opinion. The people in these rooms do not care about the royal family feuds. If I were Bloomberg (who really is the one pushing this org forward) I would be pissed.
Bloomberg’s own daughter talked sh*t about Meghan on red carpet. Apparently, they are fans of BRF. I think, that is the only reason he invested so much money on Will.
Bloomberg is a sexist (and perhaps racist) jerk, who was exposed during the last general election when he tried to run for president on as a Democrat. ( More on the racist and Democrat part later). During one of the debates, Elizabeth Warren when after him, revealing that he had been accused by multiple women of sexual harassments. I remember the anecdotes of those accusations being very detailed and troubling. He bullied those women. Warren demanded that he release the women from the NDAs so that they could tell their story. He never did.
During the same election cycle, a podcaster (Ben Dickson) did basic research, that the mainstream media failed to do, when he discovered video and audio evidence of Bloomberg boasting about racist Stop and Frisk laws that were used to ha and torture young black and Latino men in NY City.
Too many people make the mistake of thinking of Bloomberg as some sort of liberal or progressive. He is not. He acquires Democrat, Republican, or Independent labels to go with the winds of power. He uses his money to bully NY politicians to support his runs for office — like his third term as mayor of NY, for example. He is a diminutive billionaire with a giant Napoleon complex, who supported Donald Trump in 2016, on Fox News. He also owns a news paper, Bloomberg Reports, that runs a TV news channel. During the election, the Bloomberg Reports protected Bloomberg by announcing that they would not report any “negative” news about any of the candidates. I asked, what if Bloomberg is the only candidate with “negative” news? (“ha” above is “harass”).
Bloomberg was my mayor for three terms. Yes, he is phenomenally racist and marries his racism with an insulting amount of paternalism.
He pushed for the Stop & Frisk policy, and even after a federal judge told him it was a discriminatory policing practice, he STILL fought to use it. He is the worst.
Not for nothing, when Kamala Harris ran for president in 2020 he hired away her entire fundraising staff by offering them 4x their salary, and also let it be know to Democratic Fundraising Bundlers that if they continued to raise money for Harris he would blacklist them and never donate again. That is why she dropped out, financially she was squeezed out of the race. However, she quit months before she needed to bc she paid all of her staffers a month severance and visited all of her campaign offices.
TL; DR: Bloomberg IS racist trash.
The Fringe and his prestige flopject have taken another L.
I have no idea about how the work at KP is organised, but we all know that there are people there tasked with calling editors if something is not to their liking.
This lie from the Daily Terror was still online last time I checked, a few hour ago, despite this reporter being dragged by the Squad since the photos of H & JA came out.
I’d be so embarrassed if I were Team KP.
Look how attractive their beards are.
William needs to prune his mossy mess into a goatee, that’s the only way to salvage it.
hi men tack!
They think they’re hurting Harry when they say stupid shit like that. How can William not know that he’s insulting Jose? This highly accomplished man, who at one time was the co-owner of El Bulli, at one time the number one restaurant in the world, “works for” William, a man who has accomplished nothing and is only where he is because he won the vagina lottery.
Let me just say good on Harry. When in Rome…he lives in America now, and the Clinton Global Initiative is a organization based in the US that does great work all over the world! Their work fits with Harry’s passions as far as causes for sure, including addressing global poverty plus providing treatment for these devastating diseases: HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis.
Yeah, I’m all about sources, so check out their work here:
https://www.clintonfoundation.org/about-the-clinton-foundation/
Harry is there in person for the annual meeting of this world changing organization. Meanwhile Charlie and Company are scarfing up more money from the British treasury.
“Prince Harry avoids run-in with pal who now works for Prince William.”
Jose Andres is a god and I donate regularly to his food programs all over the world. How dare the Daily Mirror spew such rancid BS about a man who is dedicating his life to feeding millions of people from war-torn and disaster-ravaged countries? It should be the other way around — William should be working for Andres and learning a thing or two about being a real humanitarian, not some cardboard cutout mouthing useless platitudes about ending homelessness and saving the planet. William is SUCH a fecking wanker…
That was my reaction when the British “media” brought Jose Andres into this. He is a literal superhero of our time. Quite literally making a case for canonization…or at least the Nobel Peace Prize. And they thought it was a good idea to use them to further their stupid one-sided “feud”?
I literally saw red. Then I donated to WCK again.
Who works for Prince William??????
The gall.
Right! I’m guessing Cate Blanchett, Stella McCartney and David Attenborough also “work” for Willard. Only mentioning those names for qwhite obvious reasons.
I’m not aware of the BM saying they worked for Willard.
I call him Willard because of the 1971 movie of the same name about rats that are the main characters friends.
I’d love to think Jose Andres did this in purpose as he’s aware of the stupid narrative that he’s allying himself with William with all the Earthshot stuff. That’s one thing the British media can’t control is the number of times Harry and Meghan appear on powerful people’s social media. It rankles William and Kate because they also can’t control what other people do in relation to Harry and Meghan. But I doubt Jose thinks like this, he probably was just like “Let me show my friends and the important work I’ve been up to in NYC!”
Ooh, W had better fire his disloyal “employee”! That’s the first rule of working for TOB, you can’t fraternize with the “enemy”. You belong to him now! Cuz that’s how a totally normal charity works, right?
Is it just me or does Jose Andres look so serious and uncomfortable in this photo? Is it so that he can appear neutral and not offend William? I’ve seen him smile on many photos before and never seen him look this serious, with a constipated look on his face. I hope the face was because he was just having a bad day and not for feeling indebted to William.
lol. Come on now. The guy seems the same on other photos too. He shared the photo himself. That sends a more obvious message when the tabloids were reporting they didn’t meet.
This is a world renowned chef and humanitarian. He ain’t feeling indebted to anyone, least of all that lazy tool William. He looks like he’s having a fine day.
Nah. He doesn’t look uncomfortable at all. Look at his arched eyebrows. He has a humorous, wry expression on his face. That says a lot without actually saying any words. 🤔🤨
Lol. Kensington Palace’s media narratives have taken a beating this week so I guess body language is all they have left. Meghan’s not a bitch on wheels, Harry isn’t being deported, and no one is ” snubbing” the Sussexes to align with William.
Yes, he wants to appear neutral and not offend William (/s). That’s why he’s – literally – pointing out that he’s standing next to Harry.
@Anna M, I’ll say, yep, it’s just you. If you’ve followed Jose Andres long enough you would know. He’s unconcerned about offending TOB.
Based on what you said, Jose Andres was trying to not offend someone in this photo with Ron Howard, who directed the documentary We Feed People. Jose’s humanitarian work was the subject. OMG! He’s not smiling.
https://www.tastingtable.com/1099833/how-many-restaurants-does-jose-andres-actually-own/
Just a reminder: Jose Andres chose to share Meghan’s lemon olive oil cake recipe in his WCK cookbook and said very positive things. The BM and other outlets phrased it that she shared her recipe with him. Not that he chose to include her recipe.
Harry unlike WIlliam draws people to him. Harry is interested in people and has his mother’s charisma. Harry is a good soul and good things should always come to him. Now he’s away from his toxic family he can only grow Meghan and his children will make his life so good.
