So the saga continues
Thé Canadians are not happy about paying for the Sussexes security

I think that will be their downfall. They can’t actually fund the cost of their «freedom»
Other security experts saying that the cost of 24/7 private security is about £4million per year.

Problem is; they have skipped the a Royal fold, and have to pay the real cost of their security and accommodation . They will have to sell every aspect of their Lives to fund this.

Curly I cringed at that video. When was it shot and what was she thinking Hmm

MrsBrentford · 14/01/2020 19:32

I bet they are thinking Koo Stark was pretty tame now Grin

I remember reading that Jimmy Carter, after he lost his bid to be re-elected, pledged that he would not now make money off the back of his presidency.

If only Meghan and Harry could have made a similar commitment upon their 'retirement', they would have enjoyed a lot more support.

Wondered where this thread had gone..!

StarbucksSmarterSister · 14/01/2020 19:35

Curlywurly

Seriously? It's cheesy as hell but if you think that's sleazy, you need to get out more. It's hardly Koo Stark. Nobody would bat an eyelid if she hadn't married Harry.

NumbersStation · 14/01/2020 19:36

PH will be thrilled that at least MM will be able to make him a burger at least.

I’m not quite sure there was a need for all the lip biting and digit sucking.

notmoresheep · 14/01/2020 19:36

puzzled sounds like timeshare, for the smart set Grin

SeperatedSwans · 14/01/2020 19:36

I thought I'd list you all! Just catching up.

So house on island is joint owned by company directors?

Oprah is backing away and Elton is "surprised".

Canada do like Polo and GG of Canada pays pennies and isn't a big enough job for MM.

Have I caught up? 🤣

MrsBrentford · 14/01/2020 19:36

She a vegan now isn’t she?

Grinchly · 14/01/2020 19:37

I am far too invested in this. Grin

Maybe they need to ditch the titles, trade on the immediate marketing potential for association with luxury brands, using her name only, coin it in while they can.

Forget the 'merching' off the royal brand, close down that awful website.

Ditch the global humanitarian and climate change stuff. Anyone can see it's nothing but hollow and hypocritical posturing.

Forget also the Clinton-style foundation stuff. See above.

Sit on the tell all stuff, at least for now. ( see below) Cosying up to A list celebs may not go too well after a while either. M and H have not shown themselves to be exactly loyal,or dependable, and any more backstabbing will only damage their image further.

Done carefully and with good advice taken, it might work. But not obvs long term. That's when Harry will be dumped.

Then with a bigger cushion behind her divorce, onto the next mark, a billionaire perhaps.

Will need to move quickly to secure anchor baby number 2.

Megs, pm me. My fees are reasonable.

StarbucksSmarterSister · 14/01/2020 19:37

bet they are thinking Koo Stark was pretty tame now

Koo Stark made porn movies, that video is hardly in her "league", so to speak.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 14/01/2020 19:38

It was me who described it as "sleazy", Starbucks - and I get out plenty, thanks

MrsBrentford · 14/01/2020 19:38

@StarbucksSmarterSister

Meghan was a stripper wasn’t she?

Wasn’t it on her CV?

CoolCarrie · 14/01/2020 19:40

Koo Stark did not make porn movies, what a ridiculous thing to write.

Alsohuman · 14/01/2020 19:40

Regardless of whether that video is sleazy or not, it’s hardly befitting a member of the RF. I’m astonished it hasn’t been buried.

phpolly · 14/01/2020 19:40

Just wanted to say thanks CurlyWurly for starting and continuing these threads. There are lots of intelligent and well-informed people posting here, providing much food for thought from all sides. Honestly I am surprised by how interested I have been in this whole drama. I was similarly surprised at how distressed I was at Diana's death, as I am emphatically not a royalist. But the combination of human drama with the symbolic importance of the monarchy has gotten to me in both cases!

FWIW, and even though I respect differing points of view on this, I saw Meghan as a potential grifter from the get-go. She strikes me as very fake and performative, and her agenda seems very clear. Archie is adorable - but when M&H announced that Meghan was pregnant, I was dismayed, because I knew that a baby would provide her with enormous leverage in getting what she ultimately wanted.

SeperatedSwans · 14/01/2020 19:42

That men's health Mag video is hilarious! I can hear the voice shouting "pout more Meghan, grill those burgers in a sexy way" 🤣🤣 how does one grill in a sexy way?! I'm genuinely giggling at the thought 🤣🤣

I need to get out more!

Andylion · 14/01/2020 19:44

Regarding the video on the balcony.

Yeah, that's how I saw it. I think she was upset (and I agree, did feel for her there because we all make mistakes and all know that horrible, trying not to cry feeling) because she knew he was properly annoyed at her. He's cross because she's being disrespectful.

I agree. To Harry it would be second nature so he was annoyed and perhaps didn't get that it wasn't automatic for her. And she was naturally upset. Both reactions probably because they knew the whole thing would be on the internet soon.

MrsBrentford · 14/01/2020 19:44

Koo Stark appeared in “Emily” which was an “avant-garde” film and the reason PA wasn’t allowed to marry her.

It wasn’t porn.

fallen121 · 14/01/2020 19:45

@fallfallfall

"We will report however that a land title search of the property shows that it is owned by Towner Bay Country Club Ltd, that has 24 directors — all but one of whom live in Victoria."

It would be rather ironic, wouldn't it, if the the "one" turned out to be one Alexei Mordashov? Crown Wink

MrsBrentford · 14/01/2020 19:47

Although I think she found the press attention difficult too.

Wiki describes her as “a Kate Middleton prototype” 🤣🤣🤣

StarbucksSmarterSister · 14/01/2020 19:48

CoolCarrie

I am not talking hard core porn as we might think of it today but I am old enough to remember the scandal. Koo gave an interview (before she met Andrew) talking about making the video

My point is it was much worse than that silly video Megan made .

LauraAurora79 · 14/01/2020 19:50

The Wikipedia page on Koo Stark, particularly the section titled 'Personal Life' is quite illuminating - she's won plenty of cases of libel against the Daily Mail and was most definitely not a porn star.

The80sweregreat · 14/01/2020 19:53

I'm old and I remember Koo Stark being described as a ' soft porn actress' in the red tops. It was a long time ago and I recall a photo of her and she really was stunning.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 14/01/2020 19:54

I get that struggling actresses can't be fussy about accepting work, but
it's an odd video for a self professed activist on women's empowerment to make. I feel very uncomfortable having seen it.
