Finally now Tattle is open I can share these. I used to work at Chelsea and have some Dahlia Beach stories…
During press day every year, the Queen would visit the show on the Monday. Only some exhibitors get invited to stick around for this. During the walk around last year, the Queen had a private moment with Chelsea Pensioners that no-one, not even the event organisers, was allowed to take photos of. Despite being told she couldn’t take photos, they literally watched her run over and snap a quick picture which she had to be asked to remove. Absolutely no shame. She repeatedly broke the rules for sharing too much video footage which is due to a contract the event has with the BBC which limits what exhibitors can share. She seemed to think she was above it and the rules didn’t apply to her.
She tried to launch a social media consultancy at some point (is she still doing this? I don’t follow her). She got in touch with the Chelsea social team and pitched her services by saying they weren’t sharing enough video footage of Chelsea and that she could do a better job. Not sure doing cringey reels makes you more of an expert than a whole team who do it for a living. She was then explained the formalities of the BBC contract they have (that again limits footage shared even for the event organisers) and then they didn’t hear back from her again presumably because she was too embarrassed…!
Absolutely hilarious that the RHS have banned her for a year. No-one at the RHS likes her. Those other rules she broke that she didn’t mention were the social media rules again. She posted footage from the King on press day that absolutely isn’t allowed, and she know this, the RHS have told her this before, and she doesn’t care. Not playing by the rules has bitten her in the arse now, hasn’t it?
