Meghan and Harry Debacle part 2

[RosesandIris]

New thread

Has anyone seen that Lady Colin Campbell has written a book on Harry and Meghan using insider information. Apparently she’s has members of the Markle family to stay. She’s brave!

Another video, reportedly shot in LA.

Is the whole house painted in granny beige or has he been relocated to a different part of the basement?

On the other hand, it might be a deliberate attempt to show that they're not 'living in luxury'.... Cynical, moi?

I believe you can set a random background for Zoom calls (if that's what it was).

Not sure why anyone would choose the 'wonky dark mahogany-coloured door' option

Camouflage with his hair?

Ah yes, the odd kitchen door background was in previous footage, but the one where he was talking about the Invictus Games, was a darker version of the sort of thing a professional photographer would use as a backdrop.

Maybe they've been relegated to the 'downstairs' quarters as they're no longer royal?

I'm not sure if I was Tyler Perry I'd want a one year old let loose on my designer furnishings. Did they bring the travel cot with them, do you think?

Actually I'm not sure if I was Tyler Perry I'd want my flash LA mansion to be globally portrayed as a throwback to the 70s.

Good point about a one year old let loose. Archie is probably confined to his own quarters with the nanny. And the outside looks pretty unsafe for a toddler with that pool.

Tyler Perry is worth $600million I doubt he cares what people think

I expect TP can afford to refresh his furnishings

Oprah is really working this relationship isn't she?

I sincerely hope that they are paying market rent for that place. If it's a freebie, from someone they barely know, then they are more foolish that I even imagined.

I am fairly certain it's a freebie. If they stay over a certain period, Tyler Perry will pay an imputed fair market value on the "rent" they should be paying him.

Accepting financial help from people you barely know is exactly how Andrew and Sarah got into bother.

The 'thriving not surviving' line - it was trite the first time, second hand it's just embarrassing.

granny beige and dark wood are back in vogue. All things shiny and sparkly from the last decade or so are out....

Harry looks like he's surviving on basic rations and very little sunlight.

Where are those Zoom backgrounds, I can’t find them on my menus.

I’d like one on the Enterprise bridge, if available. 🖖🏻

Dunno, but my brother was experimenting with a range when we last spoke. But he has the "enhanced" version that is paid for.

Is free use of sometime else's property taxable as a benefit in kind?

In the US, it’s generally the owner that is taxed, after a certain value.

Interesting.
Out of curiosity, taxed on what? He's not receiving any income.

The fmv of the rent on the property. He’s gifting that to H&M. The IRS will impute a fmv.

Ok I’ve looked up fmv = free market value. But what do the irs do with this? Are you saying not only that he is allowing H&M to stay there for free but that he has to pay for the privilege? Is this like council tax in the U.K. to pay for local government, services etc?

Yes, he will have to pay tax after a time. There is a tax free amount first.

Not disputing you Winter. But that is very odd.

I think it means the IRS add the notional rent to his income and tax him accordingly. They’d use actual rent if it was declared and did not depart too far from the going rate

But for someone as rich as him, the difference in tax is probably less than a permitted rounding tolerance

Looks like there are free downloadable zoom backgrounds here
