Harry and Meghan Resigning Act Three

[TheMustressMhor]

...Scene One?

I think we probably do need a third thread.

Seems to me either Meghan never intended to play the expected role of senior royal consort with all that entails, or she did but was woefully underprepared for it.

@Mominatrix

Perhaps because she was not an A list (of even B list) star prior to meeting Harry, Meghan did not experience the hounding and lies which the tabloid press churn out daily. I remember the daily slander which Jennifer Anniston received, and still continues to (!) about the Angelina Joie/Brad Pitt thing. They will have a field day with the Sussex's.

Thinking about it I'm not 100% sure. On the one hand you have examples like the ones you quoted, J Aniston etc and I can think of several more.

But then you have examples like the Beckhams where going purely by rumours there's a great deal of stuff that mysteriously never makes the light of day. There are rumours about other high profile people that don't really make it into the press. A lot of 'open secrets' It seems like stories do become huge, but only when something officially 'blows' them open. For e.g. there were rumours about Tiger Woods and I believe a story about him having an affair but it was ignored. It wasn't until his wife wrecked their car after an argument that the whole thing blew up.

So maybe their instincts are right. But on the other hand as you say foreign press can't be controlled as easily.

It's interesting.

Wendy - what’s wrong with my question?

And even if it does all fall apart and Harry is back in London in a few years, divorced and back working as a Royal, Meghan has it made. Fortune and fame secured for life.

Harry stands to lose everything - not just title but respect of the British people, relationships with friends and family. She stands to lose precisely nothing because she has gone from being a not particularly famous actress to a global superstar.

It's worrying if Bradby is talking on behalf of H&M. But also worrying that he's not being shut down publicly if he is is in fact talking without authorisation.

I think they Shiism have let the Sun "leak" the announcement and then have made their announcement jointly with the RF when everything was mapped out.

I have sympathised with them for how they have been treated but like many people I feel they have disrespected HMQ and the last week has been a car crash PR wise. It will be difficult to come back from

Totally disagree. When that marriage falls apart he’ll return home as the victim. The RF and all its admirers will welcome him with open arms. He can’t lose his title, he was born a prince and he’ll die a prince. His biography will record this as a painful episode before he settled down to support his brother again. And the army will embrace him, it detests Meghan.

“I didn’t know about Prince Harry because I’m from America” load of shit

Yea that was really weird.

It is sad when families split or there is a rift.

Lots of people emigrate though and leave family behind : some adjust better than others and sometimes it doesn't work out , but until you try it who knows how it will go?
It's different here because his Royalty but it's still people wanting to move on from their old lives and lead a different one. The problems with tax and money might be a thorn but they must have some decent accountants around to help with all that? I'm sure they could thrash out a comprise?

I do agree that she has nothing to lose : her mum will be a bit closer and she didn't want anything to do with her family before , so the adjustment to living somewhere that she knows and has lived before won't be as much a problem as it could be for him.
However, if they are all as estranged as it's hinted at this could be a good thing for everyone involved? I don't know these people but their seems to be a lot going on here. Maybe her whole personality was just wrong for a family built on traditions and rituals she couldn't get on with?

The American press may still be critical though : I'm sure it won't all be plain sailing and roses round the door. The intrusion they face could even be worse , but time will tell I suppose. Maybe she will always be one of these people who are never happy wherever they live or whatever they do. I know lots who are like this. They also blame everyone else for it and are constantly unhappy even if they get their own way.
He doesn't look happy but rifts with family are stressful and can cause a lot of heartache.

Has anyone asked Paul Burrell for his expert opinion on all this?

Teehee

Like, if you are going to tell lies, make them believable! Everyone KNOWS the American media LOVE the RF and they are widely reported. Shreds all credibility to pretend otherwise.

It’s the same as pretended her friend set her and Harry up as a blind date. I mean which single woman who has a friend who is friend with one of the most eligible bachelors in the world, wouldn’t be like “oi! Get me a date with him!!!!!” Such nonsense

I agree with your assessment of PH's return but MM won't loose out over this and arguably a divorce would secure her even more money and fame.

Where can I find the Disney thing everyone is talking about?

I have been surprised at how often people refer to them as 'young' and 'a young couple'. They're late 30s, she's had a career and Harry has served in a conflict zone. I don't think they qualify for the indulgence of 'youth' even if they do for other reasons!

The clip of Harry pitching MM to Disney is the most cringeworthy thing I've seen, and a peek into what's to come.

God yes, unbelievable. Thought it was actually a spoof at first. It wasn’t was it?!

Meghan stands to benefit a lot by a divorce. Harry will go bald and put on weight, be lonely without his friends and thus miserable and is not a particularly good speaker. She will base herself in California so the divorce will be lucrative and he won’t want to be a US citizen because he will have to pay tax to the US on his UK assets. She has it made and she isn’t stupid.

I hope as part of their agreement the RF have the foresight to include a watertight non disclosure agreement in the event the marriage ends.

I just dont know what to think, when I do bother to think about it, worry I am blind to the racisim ... compared to say that which Kate Middleton received "Waity Katey" and lots of stuff about her family being new rich/lower middle class etc and as for the press chasing Diana her whole life, some courted, some not. Prince Philip has always, sometimes deservingly, sometimes not had a mixed press and similarly Prince Charles and Camilla have had so many caustic jibes which they have ridden out. What has been really offensive that has been said about Harry and Meghan? They used a private jet when talking about climate change? Some outfits or nail varnish were wrong? Look at Fergie, or Diana's collar ruffles or Beatrice and Euginie. She did or didnt want her photo taken at Wimbledon? Their house cost X million to refurbish, so did William and Kates and all previous have been commented on negatively and similarly Windsor Castle when it caught fire. Princess Anne has been represented as rude on some occasions ... only the Queen is not criticised. Please can someone share examples of what has been so bad compared to the rest of it.

If they are just sick of the intense coverage, and want to not be part of it that's their decision ... I do slightly dread the nauseatingly cheesie commercial charity work they might undertake but it's prob no worse than other celebrities and if it does some good.

Or is it all a smoke screen and there are already problems in their relationship or other things within either of the families.

@hopeishere

She would refuse to sign. She holds allllllll the cards here

No danger of that, she’s far too shrewd to sign it.

Where can I find the Disney thing everyone is talking about?

You Tube. Search for Prince Harry - Disney.

She would refuse to sign. She holds allllllll the cards here

Even for a big wad of cash? Did Harry sign a pre-nup I wonder?

She doesn’t need a wad of cash - she’s now set for life financially whichever way you look at it
