@NotEverythingIsBlackandWhite

I agree with what you say.

In a similar vein I have worked with someone who is Knowledgeable and is proficient in the job. However, every time they have gone for promotion they have been denied.

Cue calls of discrimination (because I’m this/because I’m that) and outrage at being passed over. The last application had someone with 19 years less experience getting the job instead of them. Same outrage.

The utter fact of the matter is that they are not accepted/promoted because they are self serving, arrogant and an absolute cahnt when addressing others.

A little step back and a bit of awareness would make them realise that it is their way of dealing with people and attitude that rankles and absolutely feck all else.

You don’t have to hide a baby bump with voice over work.

Lordfrontpaw · 19/01/2020 09:55

Why would they give her roles for mega bucks? She doesn’t seem to have Hollywood talent or personality.

She hasn’t become a beloved character in a tv show (but then that’s not always a guarantee of future film deals) and hasn’t really acted in films has she?

She will be your against other actors who have grafted and fought for parts, earning a lot less to get ahead. I can’t see her rocking up for £££ going down well (like when the bosses kid straight out of school gets a plum job in the company with no actual experience).

The80sweregreat · 19/01/2020 09:55

Of course they don't want ' peace and quiet'
More publicity the better.

kirinm · 19/01/2020 09:58

You lot are still going with your vitriol. Literally nothing they do will stop you, will it🙄

Lordfrontpaw · 19/01/2020 09:58

If I wanted peace and quiet I’d buy a little island somewhere. Or a house in one of those fancy celeb estates.

notmoresheep · 19/01/2020 09:59

when they drop the HRH in spring will their website and social media change to SussEx-Royal ?

GlitchStitch · 19/01/2020 10:08

You lot are still going with your vitriol.

I think using vulnerable people as a photo op is deserving of a bit of criticism tbh. Also makes a mockery of the apparent outrage over her Dad and a couple of pics of the poor sod getting measured for a suit when Meghan's antics the last week or two are far more staged than anything he did.

They keep putting themselves in the media, updating their Instagram, and people will keep talking about them and it won't all be flattering.

NotEverythingIsBlackandWhite · 19/01/2020 10:08

@HairyToity

I'm happy for them. I wish them luck. Meghan is now A list. She can earn £3 million a film at least. Harry can bring up Archie, and not have to play second fiddle to anyone.
She is an ex B list actress. She appeared on a TV show which had a following of 2 million in a country with a population over 5 times the size of the UK. That's not a massive following.

She isn't A list because she doesn't have any outstanding starring roles in box office hits to her credit. Her being in a film would not automatically break box office records. I think film producers and directors are probably intelligent enough to realise that.

If she was to turn out to be a great film actress with many films under her belt and command high audiences that would be fair enough to call her an A lister. A listers need to have talent and work hard. Just because she is very famous now, purely as a result of her association with the UK monarchy, does not make her an A list actress. That's a ridiculous conclusion to jump to.

bohemia14 · 19/01/2020 10:11

I believe she'll now be considered A list because of her title and connections. She'll be considered a big draw at the box office - for her first film at least. I wonder if she might have her own tv show. Whatever the plan, I'm sure it's already in place and has been for some time.

catspyjamas123 · 19/01/2020 10:12

Yes - it takes a lot of work to keep this amount of attention on them! They are working flat out to keep the publicity coming. They could just retreat into a private life but they are not interested in that.

notmoresheep · 19/01/2020 10:15

she'll now be considered A list is that because all her new A list friends are falling over themselves to support her?

SunsetBoulevard3 · 19/01/2020 10:15

I think M is working flat out. This is all about what she wants. He wants to be free of Royal restrictions. She wants fame and celebrity. What they want out of life does not match up which doesn’t bode well.

catspyjamas123 · 19/01/2020 10:17

I suppose he wants to be Ed Sheeran without being able to sing!

notmoresheep · 19/01/2020 10:19

catspyjamas123 and she can wear dark nail polish again 🤷‍♀️

SerenDippitty · 19/01/2020 10:19

I don’t think M is just unhappy in the royal Family. I think an underlying issue is that she is unhappy in the marriage to Harry.

You may be right, I do think there is an intellectual mismatch which will become more obvious as time goes on.

Parker231 · 19/01/2020 10:20

Some of you are disgusting - they have done nothing wrong and their decisions don’t affect you. Hopefully HMQ is a loving grandmother and along with the rest of their family, just wants them to be happy. Why would you think that the will be divorced, money grabbers, unhappy when there is no evidence of this and you don’t have a clue what has happened or is going to happen!

The RF is too big, this is a positive step in the right direction.

Butterymuffin · 19/01/2020 10:20

She can earn £3 million a film at least

That might almost cover one year's security costs. It's all going to be more expensive than anyone thought. As I said earlier, I predict a lot of 'favours' being done for them by friends like Elton and their Russian billionaire hosts.

NotEverythingIsBlackandWhite · 19/01/2020 10:22

I do believe H&M are interested in certain vulnerable groups of society. However, I think they need to sit and reflect at the moment and not rush out and try and look good to offset their bad press.

They should keep their future work (whatever that will be) totally separate from any charitable undertakings. They need to ensure they can't be seen to be benefitting financially from charitable connections. They also need to ensure there are no contradictory behaviours between the way they live their lives and the way in which they support the charities.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 19/01/2020 10:23

Surely the chance of great acting roles depends on part on acting ability? She’s nothing great as an actress.

Lordfrontpaw · 19/01/2020 10:24

Well Madonna made more than one (desperately seeking talent) dreadful film.

NotEverythingIsBlackandWhite · 19/01/2020 10:29

The security services need to seriously look into the ownership of the Vancouver Island house they are staying in. IF there is a connection with an owner being financed by state-owned Russian companies then the implications of that require examination.

NotEverythingIsBlackandWhite · 19/01/2020 10:34

Well Madonna made more than one (desperately seeking talent) dreadful film.
But it hasn't made her an A list actress has it? If a film bombs and then their next one bombs, if would be madness to cast that actor/actress again in another film just because of who they are. Usually you listen to the critics...which is what H&M should be doing in order to work out the best way forward.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 19/01/2020 10:35

Exactly.
Harry wanted to be a guide in the African bush which says to me: peace and quiet in nature. So he’s compromised with Vancouver. Apparently she now wants to move back to Toronto to be near her friends.

She’s just going to be another sleb for rent.
I think the only good thing which could come out of this for Harry & Archie is that Harry becomes a sahd and Meghan goes out chasing the $$$s
As long as they don’t expect fawning over them and billionaire wealth; they will have a comfortable very well off life.
I think however; the cost of security could be a real problem. It’s been quoted as about £7million pa
They will deservedly get criticism from Canadians for that, as Justin Trudeau has promised to foot half the bill.

However if Harry is a sahd, maybe he can pop over with Archie to visit the family. It’s Meghan I mainly have a problem with; i think Harry has been a fool, but he’s not after money, just trying to help his wife and keep her happy.

If Meghan wants to be rich and work overseas, I couldn’t give a monkey’s but she should make sure that they can afford to pay for their own security.

Iamdobby63 · 19/01/2020 10:37

I do believe they have damaged the crown and has smashed the idea of a ‘modern monarchy’, thanks to snippets in the press from ‘friends’. I’m confident it will recover but much of that will be down to William and Kate.

I don’t believe that any other royal will be allowed to marry a divorced American again!

I don’t care what they do so long as it doesn’t embarrass the country or the RF. I hope that they make enough to be able to fully support themselves, don’t think they should profit from this country or take any of the Duchy’s income. I am still disappointed in them but I wish them well and for Harry’s sake I hope it’s all worth it.
