I commend NPR for not having a Harry and Meghan thread!!

[Torquemada 1420]

Is she not going to return to acting?

When did she quit? Isn't the whole royalty thing a masquerade?

[tc27]

Well...reading up on the Netflix and Spotify deals they have enough dosh even by LA's standards. Still I wonder what on earth Neftflix expect them to produce?

[GogLais]

The Netflix stuff is megabucks so money isn't going to be a problem. They'll probably end up doing a lot of charity / foundation work, by the sounds of things.

I dare say they'll coin it for a while but all they've got to sell is being ex-Royals. No doubt there'll be a book but they can only tell their story so many times before interest wanes.

Not really sure what that has to do with my reply tbh - the money's sorted, the work'll still be valid for years if that's the route they do go down.

I've no idea what's in their deal with Netflix or anyone else. They're in their mid 30s and they'll need enough to keep them in the manner to which they're accustomed for maybe the next fifty plus years and to leave a nice trust fund for the kids. I'm not bothered either way but I suspect that the income stream will dry up in the next few years.

They’ve got to pay for expensive security for their lives

[tc27]

Yeah I wonder if the Netflix/Spotify cash is all coming at once or conditional? Unless they turn out to be amazing content producers then their fame will be the hook.

Earlier in the year, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced that they had created a production company and signed a deal with Netflix.

As part of the agreement, the couple are expect to make documentaries, docu-series, feature films, scripted shows and children’s programming.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex said their new endeavour would be focused on “creating content that informs but also gives hope”.

It all sounds a bit vague?

They'll be earning north of £100m from the Netflix and Spotify deals. They were independently wealthy before this. The money really isn't a problem (and indeed there's no way they could have gotten to this point if they weren't already fabulously wealthy).

edit: All reports have the Netflix deal at >$100m, and Spotify at $25-35m.

[Sandstorm]

Dunno why you all think they need to “work” until their late 60s like the rest of us. They’re both already loaded. Do some occasional publicity work, a Netflix show and raise your kids in the sun.

Why would they want or need to have serious careers?

[troglodiet]

Pretty much sums up my feeling about this.

One thing's for sure, if I were MM I'd stay the fuck away from any tunnel for the foreseeable future.

[Openside]

The first big test of how this has panned out for M&H is when Harry lands back in the U.K. for Prince Philip’s funeral.(sadly suspect reasonable soon). I do not think there is a cat in hells chance that Meghan will accompany him.

What's the Covid limit - fifteen? That'll be a good excuse.

[Not_Couch]

All I know is I'd rather be boning Meghan than Kate

[Calculon]

Although I realise that Meghan's main aim in this interview was to relaunch herself in the US, I'm guessing they were hoping for a slightly better response than this in the UK



At the same time, the Queen’s net approval rating has gone up slightly since the interview

Positive: 80% (-)
Negative: 14% (-1)

You can't divorce public opinion of the interview from the UK media coverage of the interview and issues raised. It's been an avalanche of anti-M&H / pro-Royalty pieces. Particularly as most people in the UK woke up to the coverage and opinion pieces, rather than watching it live.

For people who are sympathetic to M & H, the result of that opinion poll will quite possibly serve to support Harry's accusation that British society is prejudiced/racist/bigoted.

[Slick]

All I know is I'd rather be boning Meghan than Kate

Oh I don’t know. I actually spent an evening with Kate once and there is definitely something about her

[notfatcat]

They're both fine looking women although one of them is now firmly in the whiny, self-entitled, victim camp; which is decidedly unattractive.

[Paddington Bear]

Is this 'who would you shag' or 'who would you want to have a conversation with'? Sort it out.

I'm a lover not a shagger. When I get intimate with a woman I want everything to be centred on her enjoyment and I would find that difficult if I didn't respect her as a person. I guess what I'm saying is that if I was Yeeb and I had to spurt on her back while she slept, albeit in pyjamas, I would choose Meghan.

[Sandstorm]

I would choose Camilla

Fixed

[Muttonbird]

Tbf I don’t think anyone has forgotten about him. Shagging a 17 year old isn’t illegal it’s just creepy. We won’t find out whether this young lady was trafficked (and whether he knew) until Ghislaine goes on trial I suspect...

As if you couldn't stoop any lower.

Which bit of that is incorrect?

That you have to ask.

YouGov has the latest approval ratings in the UK for the Royal Family. They are:

The Queen +66%
Prince William +60%
Catherine +57%
Princess Anne +49%
Prince Edward +15%
Prince Charles +7%
Prince Harry -3%
Camilla -7%
Meghan -27%
Prince Andrew -75%

Amazed they have included Meghan at all. But notice where she, the brown one, is in the eyes of the British public?

Just one spot above the pedophile...

Are you suggesting her approval rating is based on her colour rather than her behaviour?

There seems to be an increasingly large number of people who think that way. Skin colour/ethnicity, genitalia, sexual preference and a few other things can be tremendously important when it comes to stuff like credibility and approval ratings.

[Muttonbird]

Ultra-gammon and workplace bully, Jeremy Clarkson, underlines his own and his followers' fading relevancy by revving up in The Sun about Meghan Markle.

So fragile are they, the belief is she is trying to take down the monarchy. This mirrors the complaints from the alt-right the world over. That any challenge to white patriarchal dominance, no matter how mild, is to be mercilessly crushed. And that being a bully is a birthright.

I think she just wants to shine a light on the arcane structure of monarchistic Britain in the hope it will sometime get with the 21st Century.

In claiming Markle will soon be on a Playboy's yacht, Clarkson has Diana-ised her. Perhaps he wishes her dead in a high speed car crash too…

If ever there was a non-denial denial, this is it.

Piers Morgan says he was not aware of phone hacking at Daily Mirror

Piers Morgan says he is not aware of phone hacking taking place while he was editor of the Daily Mirror.

A High Court case against its owners, Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN), brought by Prince Harry and several other high-profile figures, began on Wednesday.

Lawyers argue that executives at the publisher knew about widespread phone hacking, but failed to act.

Speaking before the trial, Mr Morgan said: "I've never hacked a phone. I've never told anybody to hack a phone."

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-65531864

[Insane_Homer]

Wouldn't it be wonderful if someone hacked Morgan's phone and found evidence that proves he was lying about ordering the phone hacking.

[fishfoodie]

So I knew about the hacking, encouraged it, laughed about it at meetings but let me be clear I never did it myself as it seemed complicated and did not tell anyone to do it or not to do it

Turns out that having less morals than a sewer rat makes you really valuable to other billionaire sewer rats

[fishfoodie]

I think this story is one where it strains the credibility of the stories only coming from, "sources".



It was a phone conversation between two brothers, both of whom hated the press, & weren't likely to leak their side of it for a drink from some parasite journo.

The only credible way they get that quote was by hacking the comms.
