No source cited, so could just be made up news.

How do you all feel about this? Is it another refusing-to-fly-the-flag-at-half-mast-for-Diana misreading of the public mood? Does anybody actually care? And, if not, what does that signify?

Eh?

Well Disney hasn’t fallen over itself so far trying to sign them up ( despite H’s embarrassing efforts).
Also, whether it not they can offer it to other companies will depend on the contract they signed . Many places don’t allow it for a set period.

Why is the focus on H&M?

Because they issued a statement about themselves? They seem keen to put their names and movements out there.

I think they were both so desperate to get out they'd have said anything to break free.

So desperate to break free that they wanted to stay, just picking and choosing the bits they liked, while setting up their own 'court' in California.

It's got distinctive American brashness and narcissism stamped all over it but , as usual, Harry will irrationally soak up all the flack.

If the Netflix deal falls, surely they are free to send the programmes somewhere else.

Disney has already used MM before. When did they turn down Harry? I'm aware of him also narrating a wildlife documentary, but I don't think that was for Disney.

Is their statement supposed to be about someone else?

Why is the palace putting out a statement in the first place anyway.
Sounds to me like H&M turned down the balcony, so to cover Andrew, this statement had to come out. Otherwise why speculation about people who are not even in the country.

Harry was hustling for M to do voiceover work at the Lion King(?) premier . I did say he was turned down but he was caught on camera trying to promote his wife’s “ work”.
I don’t know about this particular contract but I do know that some places have the clause in place .

Anyone going to name some working royals and back it up with a cost-benefit analysis not based on BBC and DM propaganda?

More tumbleweed.

It was predictable that only working Royals would be on the balcony. Otherwise, where do you draw the line? I wonder which events H and M will attend and whether they’ll be scowling and grandstanding. I predict M will come out all guns blazing with a megawatt smile, clothes that cost thousands and make up trowelled on. Harry will be looking shifty and scruffy.

There has probably been another transatlantic bust up! Gosh it must be so stressful for the RF to have these semi-detached, self promoters forever trying to tear strips out of them while also freeriding upon their reputation and connections. Their recent failures seems to have made them even more determined to reignite the blame game.

If there hasn't been a non compete clause or agreement, yes. But those are common, as otherwise Netflix has paid for content that the creators can then sell on to rivals. It would be interesting to know, but also we may not find out, commercial interests, secrecy and all that.

What's your source btw for all Netflix's animation being cut? That's not what the reports I've read say - which is that the head of original development has gone, plus several key staff, but not all animation full stop. Several high profile projects, one of them being Pearl, have been dropped but again not all.

“Sounds to me like H&M turned down the balcony, so to cover Andrew, this statement had to come out. Otherwise why speculation about people who are not even in the country”

Well that’s an interesting take on the situation !
There have been lots of statements about the Jubilee events and given the will they/ won’t they speciation about H and M attending , HM has decided to clarify the situation. And of course A shouldn’t be there either .
The timing of H and M’s statement ( which they didn’t need to issue) was interesting- a matter of minutes after HM’s.

Yes pinemarten but who are they, these working royals?

Job descriptions? Benefits to society for their 89 million +++++ per annum?

Let's hear it.

Is their statement supposed to be about someone else?

Well, Harry's recent TV interview was largely about the queen, so he does have form. Why did they need to issue a statement at all?

Sounds to me like H&M turned down the balcony

Sure they did. Of course.

The interview was 17 minutes long with 1 minute answering a question about the queen and that is 'mainly' to you. OK

Yes, please...............let's hear it.

Because they knew lots of gullible sleb-worshippers would read it.

Phil Rynda and his main team have been cut, they are running on a skeleton team, which is predicted as a roll down to shut down. They are not taking new content and cancelled what has not yet been produced and done. It's widely reported.
Point being that either producers keep their money and Netflix will twig and reuse when they sort themselves out, or producers take their material somewhere else.

Maybe NF will hire a couple of cranes connected to a raised platform and create a 'second balcony' to elevate H&M - the King and Queen Of Self Promotion
actually if this ever happens I’m sure so many will lap it up as real.

Its been reported on bbc radio news that Megan ,Harry and Andre have not been invited to appear on the balcony.The Queen said its only for those members who regularly perform Royal Duties.
