Summary of Meghan's new show: No talent Pearl is "on a journey of self-discovery as she tries to overcome life’s daily challenges" by making a spectacularly thick Prince her latest husband, as the couple turn ranked titles belonging to an institution they despise into easy dollars.

by Anonymousreply 3July 15, 2021 6:23 AM

You forgot to add that little Pearl is biracial but acts like her black mother is the help.

by Anonymousreply 4July 15, 2021 6:34 AM

There was a young, black character named "Pearl" who was smart, bookish, and had to overcome the daily challenges of living with a artistic mother in Reese Witherspoon's adaptation of Little Fires Everywhere, which seems like Meghan would borrow from. Meghan is a thieving conniving whore! And those are her good qualities!

by Anonymousreply 5July 15, 2021 7:07 AM

Meghan/Meghan = Pearl ... a sheer coincidence? Probably not.

Quoted from wiktionary.en:

Megan / Meghan - Originally a Welsh pet form of Margaret, now often used as an independent given name Margaret - From the name of a legendary third century saint, from Middle English Margaret, from Old French Margaret (French Marguerite), from Latin Margarita, from Ancient Greek μαργαρίτης (margarítēs, “pearl”), ultimately from an Indo-Iranian source. [...]

by Anonymousreply 6July 15, 2021 9:53 AM

With Margaret meaning pearl, they could've named Lilibucks Margaret or Margarita or something like that - that would've been the PERFECT merching opportunity AND Megsy would've had her "Little Pearl ( = Meghan, that is)" without stirring the shit pot like they used to do with using Lilibet.

Well, stirring the shit pot was exactly what they were aiming at in the first place, so ...

Anyway, Margaret or Margarita would've been nice and could've been interpreted as a nod to HM The Queen without being and looking like vindictive cunts.

Her new project seems like a desperate measure and that also she isn't regarded as a draw in her own right orcable in her own right hence the attachment of Davif Furnish.

I think it is PR spin to describe the couplexas close friends with Elton and David. I tell you who is a close friend of Elton and David. Sharon Osbourne who backed Piers Morgan for saying he disbelieved Meghan and who herself described Prince Harry as the poster boy of white privilege.

by Anonymousreply 8July 15, 2021 1:50 PM

The Earl of Snowdon's daughter is already named Margarita, but Margaret Diana Mountbatten-Windsor would have been a nice choice.

by Anonymousreply 28July 15, 2021 7:14 PM

R26... there are some great passages in Gone with the Wind where Scarlett is lining up first Rhett Butler and then Frank Kennedy. Exactly what you write of, well described.

"She married Frank Kennedy two weeks later after a whirlwind courtship which she blushingly told him left her too breathless to oppose his ardor any longer.

He did not know that during those two weeks she had walked the floor at night, gritting her teeth at the slowness with which he took hints and encouragements, praying that no untimely letter from Suellen would reach him and ruin her plans. She thanked God that her sister was the poorest of correspondents, delighting to receive letters and disliking to write them. But there was always a chance, always a chance, she thought in the long night hours as she padded back and forth across the cold floor of her bedroom, with Ellen's faded shawl clutched about her nightdress. Frank did not know she had received a laconic letter from Will, relating that Jonas Wilkerson had paid another call at Tara and, finding her gone to Atlanta, had stormed about until Will and Ashley threw him bodily off the place. Will's letter hammered into her mind the fact she knew only too well--that time was getting shorter and shorter before the extra taxes must be paid. A fierce desperation drove her as she saw the days slipping by and she wished she might grasp the hourglass in her hands and keep the sands from running."

Now compared to some characters, Scarlett O'Hara is all virtue, but you follow my point... ;)

R73 The Counsellors of State list is likely out of date because the Queen has not left the UK since 2015 and is unlikely to leave for the rest of her life. If she becomes too ill to perform her duties, Charles will be made regent. Harry should be disqualified though because he is not resident in the UK. And Andrew needs to be off the list as he is no longer a working royal.

by Anonymousreply 74July 16, 2021 4:42 AM

R74 Correct. Also important to note that while there are four Counsellors of State only two are actually needed if the monarch is out of the UK or temporarily ill. Charles and William will act in that capacity if the need arises. It's like if the Queen ever goes to hospital or something, Charles and William would immediately return to the UK if the are out of the country at the time.

And, not only did she viciously bite the hand that fed her, she displayed her disloyal and vindictive nature by revealing private family information to a world-wide audience for money. She a role model for grifters not children or young women. I don't know why anyone would want a bar of her.

Not only do they have to pay California property tax but also substantial state income tax as well. This is on top of federal income tax. As someone living in California and makes mid $200k income, I can tell you that close to half of that gross income is lost to taxes, and I don’t even own a house. I’m sure the Sussexes have financial advisers who are adept at helping the rich hide money or not pay taxes by using loopholes. But that only gets you so far, and it’s partly why wealthy celebs go broke. They have more money going out than coming in, while that’s sustainable for a few short years, it won’t last because the IRS won’t take bullshit. You’ll notice it’s almost always the tax man/ IRS that bites them in the ass.

This is why the Sussexes purchased the Montecito estate using LLC and “rents” the property out per advertisement. I doubt they rent it out for real but in advertising it as such, they can then write off upkeep of the mansion as business expenses.

No, the Sussexes are desperate now that Harry's trust fund is depleted and Daddy Charles has closed his wallet. Their latest attempts to convince the public they still have a real connection with the BRF have been met with derision as Harry's family members have made it clear they want nothing to do with him and his grifting wife.

The only possibilities the Sussexes have left are to actually make some content for Netflix and get paid. Since both of them hate to work, that's not going to earn them much. Meghan probably already has her eyes open for a billionaire as she prepares to leave Harry behind and jump up the ladder again.

"For some reason the asking for a half in half out arrangement is being rewritten out of history by Harry and Meghan."

R128 - Was not a half in half out arrangement exactly what Sophie & Edward had at they time of their marriage. They were allowed work in their own for-profit businesses but would perform royal duties when called upon by QEII to do as such?

Harry & Meghan are totally out. I believe Harry always wanted to be totally out dating to a time years before he met Meghan. I think the "half in half out arrangement" was an offer by the Sussexes to compromise if QEII and Charles needed them on a part-time basis. QEII and Charles did not them at all so they 100% left the firm. I know you will not admit it but there is a difference between a family owned business and the family itself.

I have no doubt that you do not like Harry. If you do not like Harry then I am sure you are very happy he left the family firm. If Harry really is bad as you make him out to be (and he may very well be) then I am sure QEII and Charles are glad he is living in Montecito, California and not working for "The Firm".

I think Meghan’s book had nice illustrations, but the book will not be something small children will ask for again and again. It’s pleasant but dull. My only real objection to it is that she waltzed in with her celebrity and shoved a talented nobody down to the bottom of the pile.

In March, Markle’s husband Prince Harry insisted they had never thought of teaming up with streamers such as Netflix and Spotify until they sensationally quit the UK for the US in early 2020 — and were cut off financially by his family."

Why announce it now? Could it be because they’re starved for attention and Netflix needs something in return publicity wise since they’ve got nothing substantive so far.

Animated series is cheap to produce, so if they really wanted to move the project along, they could have done so.

Harry and Meghan are all image and mo substance. They’re like morons who think the most important aspect of starting a company is impressively decorated office in a ritzy neighborhood. Little thought goes into actual products the company is selling. They then expect people to fall for the shiny image that’s selling mediocre products or the promise of products too good to be true. Usually these ill-thought out ventures fail quickly or sink into oblivion. But Harry and Meghan are doing this with backing of Netflix and Spotify.

The animated series will materialize eventually and there will be a promotion to hype it up. Animated series are definitely less expensive to produce, we’re not talking Disney or Dreamworks level here, it’s an animated series for kids. However, popularity for these shows can’t be forced, you do need a creative team with experience. Dora the Explorer was developed by a team at Nickelodeon and went through test groups and tweaking before the final product. It’s harder than it looks.

Look for Meghan to borrow elements from Dora but fucking it up because she can’t help but lecture down to others. For those who aren’t familiar with Dora the Explorer, the show’s plot and plot devices are not as simplistic as you’d think. The reason kids like it is due largely in the participatory aspect of the show.

Most of them are just monetizing the differing narratives promulgated by Sunshine Shite, R210. There are many better uses of time now that summer is here than wallowing in the disingenuous PR.

I do enjoy Lady C from time to time, many prefer to increase the vid speed, but i find some of her anecdotes charming. I am listening to the Audible version of her H&M book (she is not the narrator) and she brings a lot of her Diana books info in for context. Haz truly is the WORST of both of his parents. She included a lot of the bullying info and the book came out quite a while ago. I think the "Anne" story came from other Euorpean royals and related to Meghan's behavior at Sandringham before the wedding and how she did not seem to be a good fit on many levels, and of course the world sees that now.

No wonder they're running through his trust fund at massive speed.

[quote]One of my LA sources describes him as a 'baller' – slang for those with great wealth who don't mind spending it. She says he runs with a non-famous crowd of tech billionaires. 'He's not in with the showbiz lot as people would expect. 'Rather than spending time with Adele or James Corden, Harry and Meghan are hanging with the LA rich set: owners of big companies, jet-set types with private planes. '

I do think she had borderline personality disorder, but people tend to age out of this and become more self-aware as they get older. This would have allowed her to find another Haznat Khan type& manage a mature relationship, with less drama and histrionics. Maybe had another child.

I think the wedding might have come later than 2005, but it would have happened particularly if Diana remarried. I actually think that the anti-Camilla sentiment would have waned if Diana lived (her death has made her something of a saint to some) and I think eventually Diana would have publicly accepted Camilla.

Well, if Diana was a borderline, she certainly wasn't getting better with age. She made the same mistakes with men over and over again. Perhaps it gets better in middle- and old age, but before that are a great many years in which a great deal of havoc and pain to others is generated.

I also think that some of this is just character and personality. It is standard psychological position that children's personality, including their affectional adjustment, are set by the age of three.

It's nature and nurture and a bit of dumb luck, so fast as I can tell

People like Meghan do not change their affect, in my opinion. Her entire mental landscape is about how much she is valued by the Other.

Her father confused fawning indulgence and telling her she was the Queen of the Universe with the kind of unconditional mirroring love very young children should have.

Becoming famous and royal has this odd way of ripping veils aside that no one really wants lifted.

They need to hide their very personal selves in service to representation a great many people who are nothing like them.

How well they can accomplish that first and most necessary task in return for all that status, wealth, privilege, and fame, ironically, tells you who they really are.

We fiynd6out quickly who Meghan was, because she couldn't manage the first important task: accepting that it wasn't about her.

Yet, Kate, with a far higher destiny before her, grasped it immediately. As did the Queen from her beginning.

But for Meghan, if it isn't about her, it's not worth the effort.

And I don't think that will ever change.

I'm not entirely convinced Diana would have gone to seed had she lived. She was finding her footing with the landmine stuff and Blair, just elected and with ten years ahead of him in office, thought she was an asset. An agreeable role for her might have been found - and Blair - being a politician - couldn't let her nonsense reflect on him so might have been influential in settling her. Plus she had strengthening and beneficial friendships in Lucia de Flema (sp) and Rosa Monckton. My take on the weeks before her death was it was partly it's darkest before the dawn - she was flailing and at loose ends - but yet the is enough from Monckton out there to suggest she had some idea she was in the wrong place with a lot of her choices. Given time, I think she might have sorted herself out. One thing she said that always stuck with me was 'the best way to dismantle a personality is to isolate it.' She entered the marriage and the monarchy as a girl, paid a heavy price for what she found, and lashed out with limited coping skills. Finally, her boys, to whom she was devoted. It seems possible William would, at some point, tell her to pull herself together.

I don't know... I just can't write off aging, independence and focus as helping her steady herself. I always thought she was far more hell hath no fury like a woman scorned than irretrievably bonkers. Maybe I am wrong but I think she died too soon to write her off as a head case and not much else.

[quote]They aren't going to divorce unless Megs has snared someone far wealthier than Haz

Thing is, eventually, he runs out of money and one thing I'd bet on is familiarity breeding contempt in (not so much) time, in both parties.

Am suggesting a third way to coin some cash because if there's somebody for everybody, at her age and with her track record, there may not be two for her.

So she could make bank in the divorce negotiations... she's got silence to sell and that's worth something. Narrowing options and the ticking birthday clock might convince her to sell that to the royal family and it's likely they'd pay to shut her up to their advantage.

Diana was a risk they understood and they paid, to the tune of 17 million or some such figure, with housing and staff thrown in. Fergie was so dumb and damaged all she wanted was forgiveness.

Anyway, with this one, they'd only be buying time, not eternal silence. They'd just hope to tangle up her tell all options long enough that if the broke the deal in the short term she'd look like a real operator, which wouldn't help in portraying her as the victim and if she finally did break the deal later rather than sooner she would be diluted as a commanding public figure and somewhat distasteful for doing so. It would be more 'oh, her again...'

If Diana had been wearing a seatbelt, her injuries wouldn't even have been that bad. She had few external injuries: It was being jerked around in the car that caused the internal tear in her heart muscle which killed her.

I agree that if she had walked away with bruises while two other people, including her lover, were killed, it might have stopped her downward tabloid spiral permanently.

I think her absence from the list has to do with nothing beyond doubt about her baptism as CoE. Also, her father's names were incorrectly listed on her birth certificate/registration. His actual Christian names and family surname do not appear.

There are people all over the world who are on the succession list. It has nothing to do with her being born in America or raised there.

I think the BRF are aware of something that they won't discuss publicly that affects the listing. It could be anything from the long-expected title discussion to Harry fucking up the birth registration because he's in the midst of a psychotic break.

It's not disdain, although as usual the tabs will play it up as that. It's something else.

The only thing that could change that is if it's proven she's not a legitimate heir of the body (unlikely) or if she voluntarily gives up her place in line (also unlikely).

While she does seem like an awful person & a terrible mother, to her credit, she took Bruce from being a broke former athlete with multiple ex-wives into a lifestyle that none of them could've ever imagined - including the sainted Robert Kardashian they all rave about. She's a fascinating character & none of them would be where they are without her. Harry should be so lucky that he fall into the hands of a Kris Jenner type

Kris Jenner's success came long after her divorce from Robert Kardashian. She probably got a very nice settlement, but nothing stratospheric. And Jenner we now know is dumber than a box full of rocks and is not capable of discussion or debate, let alone creating any sort of business empire. You could almost say she succeeded despite her husbands.

R311 - The birth certificate may be real, as in the State of California accepted it (after all, you can call yourself pretty much anything you like). But those aren't Harry's "names". His name is what he was christened as, which was Henry Charles Albert David. What he put on that birth certificate are a style of address and a title. If the Queen took that ducal title away, Sussex would no longer be available for use.

It's a stupid discussion, I agree, but what Harry put there, apparently in a fit of anger to make sure the world knows (although, frankly, the world doesn't care and will forget that certificate exists if it hasn't already) that his daughter was born to a Royal Duke.

But it's mental. Those aren't names, they aren't his names, and that's all there is to it. It's a spasm of adolescent defiance, like just about everything else Harry does.

by Anonymousreply 314July 19, 2021 12:29 PM

R314 Yeah I agree with you that what Harry put on the birth certificate was A) not his name and B) insane but that's what the spokesperson said thereby confirming it wasn't an internet fake.

The birth certificate, such a simple thing, and it's screwed up. “His Royal Highness “ is his *last* name (when it comes before DoS when speaking)? That’s why I thought it was a tabloid fake.

Harry's also delaying the book until 2022 because it will likely be so inflammatory that he'll never get another royal invitation except perhaps to his grandmother's and father's funerals. Forget a christening for his daughter, a Jubilee invite, etc. He and Meghan want that photo op with Lilibet and the Queen, and they want back on that balcony at least one more time.

As always, though, they're assuming the BRF are complete morons and don't already know that the book will be another hatchet job on the family.

Harry allegedly scrambled to contact his family this evening to inform them, but Charles learned of it while he was on an official engagement with Camilla. It's believe the senior royals are reeling because they felt that some (small) bridges had been built with Harry in recent weeks and there was hope given details of a private meeting between William and Harry (prior to the Diana statue) had not been leaked and there were talks of Liliy's christening later in the autumn at Windsor.

I think he has to write the book to prevent fallout next year when the investigatory findings are released. Next year will be a bad one for them mainly due to that alone. Having a gaggle of staff come out with documented complaints and having to answer or address each one of them. It’ll be like Chrissy Teigen being canceled, with that many people and paper trails, people can see the ugly truth for themselves. When it’s multiple staff and similar stories, a pattern emerges.

Secondly the Harkles have no moral bottom to which they wont sink.They are dishonourable malicious souls so giving in to their blackmail will not guarantee that they still wont write books or make public allegations.They would take the fruits of any blackmail eg a promised balcony appearance at the Queens platinum jubilee and then still go on a bit later to release a book anyway. .By showing themselves to be so untrustworthy to this large extent they have actually overplayed their hand because the royal family have ZERO REASON or motivation to trust them to stick to any agreement.

R402 I agree that frankly at this point the royals need to completely cut the Harkles off. It's very telling that every time this couple wants something from the royals, they dangle a "tell-all." It can't go on both for the sake of the monarchy and the sanity of the British people. I wouldn't say the royals have recovered from the Oprah interview fully because it's still polarized opinion. Younger people and anti-royalists are now team Harry all the way, while monarchists loath Harry now. That is not good for the long term survival of the institution that in some regards thrives through indifference.

The book is going to be a hatchet job on Charles (to a slightly less extent William...and I'm sure under Meghan's influence there will be a dig or two against Kate). I wouldn't be surprised he claims the royals killed Diana, that he names who allegedly is the racist royal. The royals need to get out ahead of this and I hope like the did with Scobie....scare Random House with the lawyers. Harry better have receipts for his claims or I think there might be legal action.

r406 good post but i disagree about the extent of strong support for Harry Meghan post Oprah .I believe a lot of that support is soft support not passionate and zealous or hardline. The actual dedicated section of people who are hardcore fans or supporters are quite small but very loud.Secondly many people feelings towards the monarchy change as they get older. Many young people who were pro Diana and anti or very critical of the monarchy in 1997 are now supporters of the monarchy and take a more realistic nuanced view of Diana.Many Diana supporters have now changed their minds and evolved their opinions .

I read and enjoyed Agassi’s autobiography because it was so dishy. He’s similar to Harry—whining about everyone in his life; taking little responsibility; and “saved” by a woman.

R420 I thought Meghan was smarter and playing a long game. But she is basically a temper-tantrum prone manipulative narcissist like Harry is. She wants something and she wants it NOW. She's basically as big a spoiled brat as Harry just on a smaller scale as Thomas Markle wasn't as rich as Charles.

Her sister and brother who were considered to be jealous and vindictive when they 'warned' what Meghan was like turned out to be on the money. What she did to them, she now did to her in-laws.

If his ultimate endgame is to ruin Camilla- that is actually more honorable to me than trying to out fame his future-King brother and exploit his family for fame and riches.

I couldn't, R245. Yes, Charles and Camilla wronged Diana, but Diana herself was beginning to accept them as a couple at the end of her life. Charles was put in an impossible situation by his family back in the late 70s and early 80s. He handled it badly but he suffered greatly for it. Diana herself took plenty of revenge at the time by having countless affairs of her own and trashing Charles in front of the whole world. She more than got her own back.

For his son to attempt to ruin Charles' wife of many years over slights that are 4 decades old, particularly when the person really slighted has been dead for 25 years, would be psychotic.

True, R430. But though he may tell himself and the world that his rage was over the wrongs done to his mother, we all know that his rage is really about the wrongs he perceives as done to himself. Always being second, never being king, etc. etc.

From the article linked above:

[quote]One royal source explains: 'There's a lot going on among the family at the moment. A shifting of the power bases following the death of Prince Philip, with Prince Charles and Prince William both solidifying their power. 'But Harry doesn't give a damn. He's there to do what's right for him. He no longer cares about how his actions impact the monarchy. 'He went to California with the sole goal of showing that he will never need to rely on his family for money again – and he's proven that beyond any doubt.'

That 20 million advance for the book will go awfully fast considering that he and Meghan have yearly expenses of around 6 million.

Also, if he wants to be so goddamn independent, let's see him put the titles in abeyance and face the world as Harry Mountbatten-Windsor. Except we know he can't, as the fortune he's making in America is ENTIRELY dependent upon his identity as a Royal Prince, one who spits on his family at every opportunity.

He's nothing special or of enduring interest without his royal titles and an active connection with the family. The low IQ caveman at some level understands this hence the push for the christening and balcony appearances. He's not credible claiming the situation is otherwise It cannot be stressed enough despite the cognitive dissonance amongst their supporters on this that they wanted a half in half out arrangement to maximise money and sustain a credible royal connections to uphold the commercial interest in and around them.

He's selling his birthright for 20 million. Maybe 50 million, depending on what he gets out of the inevitable reality series.

Meghan is fine with that as she doesn't value his family or history in any way, and she'll get half of whatever he earns during the marriage + hefty child support once she divorces him. Harry will be left with the scraps of his fortune, no American career, and no relationship with his family while Meghan waltzes away with her much richer next husband.

Harry is vastly overestimating the effects his revelations will have on the British public's opinion of the BRF. His popularity has never been so low in the UK, and a mudslinging biography will make it even lower.

He and Meghan keep tearing pages out of Diana's playbook while refusing to understand they are not beloved as Diana was. The goodwill towards Harry was a combination of pity for the boy who walked behind his mother's coffin and a response to the positive PR the Palace created for him. Without those, he's just an entitled dimwit, and the whole world knows it.

These are people on the margins, without the character to be welcomed, bitter, unkind, low intelligence, irrational, emotional and impulsive. They do not think, they only feel. Because all they can do is feel, they are left behind, and that feels terrible. So they club with other undesirables, but it doesn't really solve anything. They lack character. Without it, nothing you do matters much.

That's also when he and Meghan will hit the seven-year mark (dating from their first meeting in 2016), and it ain't called the seven-year-itch for nothing. She'll bounce for her next big opportunity (even if it's big only in her own mind), taking the merchable kids with her.

Harry will be stuck in California if he wants a chance at seeing his kids, but the tech billionaires will have moved on and found another novelty to invite to their parties. If he tries to go back to the UK, his family will, at most, fob him off with one of the minor country houses and ignore him otherwise. After the way he's treated his aristo friends, invites won't be forthcoming from the horsey set, either. Also, the tabs will crucify him for abandoning Archie and Lili.

His future life is floating around posh watering holes with a bunch of C-listers, always feeling cheated of money and attention. Harry's fate will be just like his Great-Uncle David's, only at least David managed to hold on to his wife.

I hate Harry for making me feel sorry for Charles. Apparently Charles is reeling because he doesn't understand how they've grown so distant. Charles (like the Queen) is a workaholic and was in retrospect not involved enough in his sons daily lives after Diana died. But allegedly Harry was always closer to Charles and Harry often worked at trying to get William and Charles on better terms. (It's only been in the last few years that William and Charles found good footing). But it was after the marriage to Meghan that suddenly Charles became the villain.

My guess is she tapped into his unresolved resentment over Diana. It had to be there. Both his sons must be ambivalent about Camilla. I mean, of all the women in the world... I also wonder if like Meghanstein hasn't lost control of the monster. But that's according her some shred of decency. He hasn't been dictating a book for the last year in the face of her reluctance. This is her whole pattern when it comes to family, though on an unimaginable scale. The cheek of that destructive creature. I don't even know what her end game is any more. They're becoming loathed by the population and increasingly avoided by the A list. Their business deals are sputtering (lots of announcements, not a lot of results.)

Prince Harry may not be the brightest spark but surely he can see how hypocritical his latest venture appears?

“I’m writing this not as the Prince I was born but as the man I have become,” Harry said, in the statement about his new autobiography… with the sign-off: “Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex”.

In that one sentence, he encapsulated what many have come to see as the spirit of Harry and Meghan: have your cake and eat it.

To recap, the Sussexes withdrew from royal duties and yet tried unsuccessfully to hold on to their Sussex Royal brand. Prince Harry attacked the press for invasion of his private life. Yet he felt comfortable enough to invite Oprah Winfrey into his backyard – and James Corden on a double-decker tour of LA – to give his side of the story, slanted – so it appeared – against the Royal Family. As the Daily Star claimed, on its front page at the time, “Publicity-shy couple to tell all to Oprah.”

The longer this goes on, many of us long to tell Harry, the more ridiculous it looks.

Even with the end of the Sussex Royal brand, Harry seems determined to persist with this idea that now he is his own man: a private self-made individual. But, it seems so obvious to everyone else, he would not be that man or have the success, coverage and money he’s got, without having been born a prince. Or, for that matter, still calling himself a prince – and the Duke of Sussex.

For example, it is clear that it is only as a prince that Harry secured the reputed $20m book deal with Penguin Random House. If he were plain Harry Smith – a Brit living in LA and working at a startup – he would be of no interest to the publishing world.

It’s hard not to conclude that the Sussexes seem to want all the trappings of royalty with none of the boring bits. Just look at the Oprah interview and how concerned the Duchess seemed to be with the lack of a princedom for Archie – not to mention her clear worry at their current lack of security, previously available while they were on royal duties.

It’s difficult not to wonder what Peter Cook would have made of them. In Not Only… But Also, his 1960s series with Dudley Moore, Cook parodied the famous recluse, Greta Garbo. Dressed up as Garbo, he took to the top of a double-decker and shouted at passers-by, through a megaphone, Garbo’s supposed catchphrase, “I want to be alone.”

The difference was Garbo wasn’t a hypocrite: she did want to be alone. She retired from films at the age of 35 and lived till 84 in near-complete seclusion.

Harry and Meghan could have done the same. If they’d retired to a life of quiet domesticity in LA – as many of us assumed they wanted at first – they’d have eventually slipped into obscurity, after the initial fuss died down.

Instead, the pair are barely off our screens, airwaves and now bookshelves. Hardly a week goes by without some new Sussex media venture being announced, from those megabucks deals with Netflix and Spotify to last weekend’s announcement of a family-focused cartoon series for Netflix, called Pearl.

The duchess, its executive producer, said: “Like many girls her age, our heroine Pearl is on a journey of self-discovery as she tries to overcome life’s daily challenges.”

Certainly, she must be hoping Pearl does a lot better than her children’s book, The Bench, which came out earlier this year – and struggled to sell in British bookshops.

The book’s cover had her name as ‘Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex’.

by Anonymousreply 497July 21, 2021 3:17 AM

Final: In strict etiquette terms, that’s wrong. She can be the Duchess of Sussex or Meghan – but, as long as she’s married to Harry, she can’t be both.

Still, by using both names, Meg gets all the intimate friendliness she wants to signal to potential buyers, while retaining the status that goes with being a duchess.

The problem is that, so far, the Sussexes haven’t revealed much solid broadcasting or literary talent. The mass attention they crave only goes with royal revelations of the sort they poured out to Oprah Winfrey.

But, when it comes to royal gossip, the Sussexes are feeding off dwindling resources. Living in LA, thousands of miles from Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace, they are getting decreasing access to the heart of the royal action.

Harry is said to be keen to get back to Britain for a royal christening, attended by the Queen, for Lilibet Diana, his newborn daughter. That would make for a nice, uplifting last chapter in the autobiography – and perhaps be an ideal moment to close the book on the couple’s busy publicity schedule, too.

On the face of it, it seems impossible that christening could happen or their presence at the Jubilee. And yet, essentially to fuck with them, to deny them anything to complain about, why not do it? Why not let them come? Deprive them of being deprived and let them enjoy the polite reception with just a touch of something missing and the smallest of small talk and the booing when their very own carriage passes by. It would be a hell of a blinder to pull on them. I don't know what happens.

Yikes:

Can the same be said for the Duke? Moehringer has spoken of the importance of candour when writing a memoir: “Of [those] I’ve read that have failed for me, often the reason they fail is that the writer has decided not to bare his or her soul,” he said in 2005. “You feel the writer is holding back. Part of the pleasure of reading a memoir is feeling that someone is confiding in you, that they are being honest.”

Born John Joseph Moehringer in New York City in 1964, as he recounts in his own memoir, The Tender Bar, he was always known as JR, short for junior – an awkward moniker since his DJ father abandoned him as a child. To fill that void, Moehringer devoted much of his early life to seeking replacement father figures, which led to him spending long hours in a local bar called Publicans with his Uncle Charlie and his drinking buddies.

That might sound morose, but Moehringer – a natural raconteur – spins those experiences into entertaining anecdotes, soon to become a Hollywood movie, produced and directed by George Clooney for Amazon. It stars Ben Affleck as Uncle Charlie and Tye Sheridan as Moehringer, and has now completed filming, so may well appear next year along with Prince Harry’s book.----

....If Open is astonishingly candid, that is thanks to Moehringer, who read up on Freud and Jung in order to unlock Agassi’s psyche, and spent around 250 hours talking to his subject. The result is a book that grips not just sports fans but readers who couldn’t care less about tennis: it’s simply a great human story.

.... Since George Clooney is bringing Moehringer’s memoir to the screen, and the A-lister is also a friend of the Sussexes – he and Amal attended their wedding, and gave Meghan a lift back to America on their private jet after Archie’s baby shower – it has been claimed that he connected Moehringer and Prince Harry, although sources denied this was the case.

The recommendation may also have come from someone at Netflix: the Sussexes have a reported £100 million deal with the streaming service, and Netflix has optioned the film rights to Shoe Dog.

I think if the rumours are true that he's going to place blame for Diana's death, a brilliant PR move would be to frame as though he blames himself because he couldn't save his mother. That would honestly garner him huge public sympathy. If he's spiteful and claims the royal had his mother killed or are overall responsible I think it will heavily divide opinion for and against him. A big segment of the UK population will think he's nuts, but the Diana lovers and anti-monarchists will pounce, the Americans will love it. However, unless Harry has solid proof I'm not sure Random House would want to publish that because there is no way that the royals would not sue for slander. My gut says, given they hired that Diana conspiracy guy, that they are going for the latter.

Not sure why this board focuses so heavily on the women, it seems clear that Harry does not want CHARLES or WILLIAM to be king. And as his delightful wife is said to have claimed, that would leave the Narkles "one plane crash away from the throne."

I do not think Harry is motivated by his mother or Camilla as much as his own sense of being hard done by and the genetic Spencer rage he exhibited from early childhood. He externalizes everything wrong in his life and uses it to stoke the lifelong anger. By never taking responsibility it is a never ending cycle. I do think it is likely that they have backers in this quest, thus no fear of being left needing the BRF money.

I really think Harry is over-estimating the public’s interest in Princess Diana. Here in the UK, there really was comparatively little interest in the unveiling of the statue. To anyone under 40, Diana is really a remote, historic figure.

I’m sure Harry will find someone to blame for the crash, and that there will be a pity party over a few hundred pages, but I’d bet on it being forgotten after a week or two, with Harry’s standing further diminished and the Royal Family will move on.

R530 I agree that the Diana phenomenon is far more subdued now in the UK than it is in the US. That's not to say there still isn't interest in Diana but not the mania that there once was. There was, until Harry and Meghan's recent public therapy debacles, a feeling that we've moved on beyond Diana's death and we were looking forward to her legacy through William and to a lesser degree Harry. The truth is people under the age of 33 or younger have little or no living memory of her.

The more Harry seems to be stabbing his family, the more the British public are turning away. If the live poll on YouGov is any indication, people have had enough with something like 70% believing Harry is making a mistake.

I' m sure they don't want to say anything bad about her because she's Saint Diana in their minds & they probably have very idealized memories of her, but if I wonder why (among many reasons) Harry is so willing to throw Chuck under the bus is that he probably gave Harry some tough love that his mother did not. If that's true, it's kind of sad that a middle aged man with two kids of his own can't recognize that being a *real* parent requires more than indulging every whim.

All the evidence suggests that William has no time for crazy women. He was old enough to have got a glimpse of what his father had to deal with with his mother, and I'm sure he's heard much more about it in recent years, because we all have.

Diana probably was like an indulgent aunt to the boys, in that she mothered them with that kind of frequency. They had a nanny, and then boarding school, for the boring stuff, so she could spend her time taking them to theme parks and St Tropez, but she was off living the glamorous life much of the time. That famous footage of her throwing her arms open for them to rush in depicts her return from a tour. Two completely narc things she did that no child should be asked to forgive her for: she fired their nanny because the boys were "too close" to her and wouldn't let her say good-bye or give a reason for leaving; and she gave the Panorama interview while they were off, defenceless and without family support, at boarding-school.

I don't think William thought she was a saint even before she died. That is the crucial difference between him and Harry, and it does seem to have allowed him to put her life in context. If anything, it's helped him to make better choices than she or Charles ever did.

Diana never thought the Queen would be pushed so far that she would demand that Diana and Charles divorce.

I hope Harry's memoir is written in Nostradamus quatrains or haiku or something. Maybe it will include a Goofus and Gallant style chapter, or a word search or crossword. So many ways to present his Truth!

Meghan's estrangement from her entire family apart from Doria should have been the biggest red flag of all.

The goal really IS to bring down the BRF, chasing money is the cover. This has been the agenda all along, Haz is a patsy.

Despite what Haz & Smegs think, the Old Girl has a few more years in her. She's looked fresh as a daisy since Prince Phillip died and there seems to be some deliberate strategy for Charles to serve as a bridge between the next generation BRF, William and his family. Those two, on the other hand, are circling the drain. I don't know that they can hold out until Granny dies.

r572 I dont believe they will succeed in that whether that is their plan or not. I honestly dont think by the time the Queen dies which could be nearly a decade off that any interest in his allegations will be all that high and certainly not his merching of his late mother.

The reality is every year that passes less and less people have any real memory of Princess Diana as a public figure and less interest .Her fanclub or people emotionally invested in her story are a shrinking asset .Sure a small minority of people who are younger but fascinated with past historical or iconic figures will join that group of people interested in Diana but not really in sufficient numbers to replace the many naturally dying out from that era.

Even many of us who were around when she was alive have moved on or not maintained a passionate interest. To be blunt Diana is a fading phenomenen and becoming less relevant.Thats not bad or an insult it is natural.

r573 She has more zest at 95 and less frailty at 95 than her mother did.I think she could make it into the 2030s. I cannot see many people beyond a small hardcore being interested in Harrys revelations by that time.

I think they'll just be fattening the pig. There can't be much new scandal, if any, to drop. They'll just be trying to tart it up to make more money.

They are both talentless. Nothing to sell but their own grievances, real and imagined. And it's dull and pretty disasteful in two people closer to forty than anything else.

Well there goes the inheritance.

Doesn't seem like they are thinking this through, long term.

Harry's lawyers are denying he intends to write more than one memoir but didn't deny that there is a four book deal. Now thinking about it, of course Harry would try and capitalize of the Queen's death. The Queen will be deified in her death I think (at least in the immediate aftermath), a perfect time for Harry to release a book about "Granny and Me."

His mental health problems seem evident. What rotten luck... of all the people in the world, those two found each other.

I advanced a theory they should invite them to the Jubilee etc. to deprive them of anything to complain about and if they got booed, maybe they'd learn something. Now I don't think it's a question of if but rather how badly.

They are nothing without a link. After this announcement, I am more of the camp to forget they ever existed. Gaslight them by ignoring them. Give them the full Duke and Duchess of Windsor treatment. No Jubilees, no christenings, no weddings, no Christmases, no Troopings, no coronation. Allow them at funerals, but seated amongst the congregation. Cast them out. Make their place seen and felt. The exile will make them seem desperate as they continue trying to sell out.

Mmm. After the memoir he intends to write one on moral philosophy, one on quantum mechanics and one on Yoga in collaboration with Gwyneth Paltrow.

Meghan of all people is writing a book on wellness?!?!? What will the chapters be? Lying? Grifting? Tea Tossing? Bullying? Ghosting friends and family?
