Harry and Meghan EVICTED from Frogmore, keys handed to Prince Andrew

[tatalan]

What do you think?

I'm not surprised. I wonder if Harry and Meghan will buy a new UK residence.

No it won't.

Because the review is into the decision-making process and whether it is fit for purpose, not in to the decision itself.

Don't worry, we'll find out when there needs to be distraction from something Charles is doing or done, or W&K.

Anyway, so I see Andrew has been placed in Frogmore has he. Ha ha what a family! Glad Harry and Meghan jumped ship when they did. Who needs that kind of unpleasantness and toxic games and strange maneuverings pitted with Prince Andrew.

Andrew is still in Royal Lodge.

I am loving the whataboutandrew? distractions. The whole York family are Harry and Meghan's allies in the family. They are open about it.

Well the daughters, maybe I would be interested in your sources for Andrew/Fergie.

Which is why it is nonsense to suggest the Royal Family as a whole have turned their back on Harry. The family has split into two camps.
And Kate was supposedly quite nasty to the York sisters, so there will be no love lost there.

That is however a massive comment of the sexist reductionist nature of the film and tv industry though, and nothing at all to do with Meghan’s talent and ability to work hard to still be a success even given that the majority of the roles available to her were some variant of “hot chick”.

I agree with all the others - in a mega-competitive industry she was a sucessful actress. She had obviously recognised she had a shelf life and was actively engaged in broadening her skills and experiences to move on, as part for women dry up when they approach 40 (sexism and ageism again). All fo that is to her credit, and I think it’s ridiculous to denigrate her for that.

Oh yes, Anne was her mother's daughter - Edward must have pestered her on an off day -she has true regal dignity if there is such a thing. Charles was right to ban Diana from appearing, and of course the host is convicted paedophile Stuart Hall.

Not all actresses perform "hot chick" roles. If you consider the evolution of the Hollywood Star system, then it is obvious to see that a rigid hierarchy has always been present.
The "hot chick" roles are for those ready, willing and able to accept them and never promised anything more significant.

If you also consider the evolution of Brad Pitt's career, it was also atypical for A list actors and set the scene for other unconventional breakthroughs. Now, it has become almost obligatory to have a quirky story for how they rose to A list.

Good for Meghan for getting her Suits role then, unless that doesn't count as something more significant.

She did well for herself.

Ahhh yes Stuart Hall, Disgusting man. Raped and assaulted countless girls aged from 11 to 17.

The RF have an unerring knack for attracting these sort of people.

Brad Pitt was a man. Men are treated very differently in the acting profession.

Very few women get decent parts without the crap non speaking parts at the beginning of their career UNLESS they can call on nepotism. They are the woman actors who manage to skip those parts or UNLESS they are already well known in another capacity and get decent roles on the basis of that e.g. singers.

You missed the film Daters Handbook which I challenge anyone to get through without the aid of a couple of stiff G&Ts. Light hearted fluff is the most complimentary review I read.

Shes a bland actress which is a surprise from someone who grew up on the set of Married with Children.

For the very lucky few, maybe. I know Gillian Anderson has talked of auditioning for roles that she was actually hoping she wouldn’t get because she didn’t want to play them - but still auditioning! Ironically the network thought she wasn’t hot enough to play Dana Scully but the casting team insisted. Courtney Cox did tampon ads and was in a Bruce Springsteen video.

Lots of the well-known actresses who have done very well and never had to work up from those sorts of roles were nepo babies as they’d now be called. And even someone very successful like Mariska Hargitay, who had that advantage, was in teen moves/music/videos/Baywatch episodes etc when starting out.

Of course not, most actresses don't perform anything at all because there simply aren't enough roles to go round despite all the talent out there. If you are a young and conventionally attractive woman, though, those are likely to be the roles available to you. Don't like that, blame the writers and directors, who are most likely to be male. Even the "ugly" ones are usually just beautiful women in glasses and bowl haircuts.

Most successful acting careers start with small, non speaking and possibly crap roles in much the same way most people start off with boring commissions when they're early on in a very competitive industry. You might not like Meghan and that's fine, but to berate her for taking the work available to her as a young actress - and even to try to claim she wasn't successful - is more "desperate" than any young actor taking available bit parts while trying to get established.

How many people have made $2 million in their chosen industry by their mid 30s?

Why are we even berating a women for working and earning money. Jesus christ! This is a real low on mn.

What? Were they fucking blind??

I struggle watching the X Files because even though I'm straight and she's always conservatively dressed, she's so damn beautiful that I get distracted and just stare at her.

Damn it, an industry where the young Gillian Anderson wasn't pretty enough. And people people are carping at Meghan Markle because she took the work available to her? That was most likely dreamed up by a man?

Yep. It is a low.

It's because it's Meghan. Anything goes when it's her.

Anyone would be happy earning millions for being 'a bland actress' I'm sure.

Another insult, haven't heard that one

Courtney Cox did tampon ads and was in a Bruce Springsteen video.

Jane Leeves was one of Benny Hill's Angels. She hated it, but she wanted to get into the industry. What was she supposed to do, not earn and have a blank CV? Not her fault that was the work available.

There are so many legitimate criticisms one could make of Meghan, do we have to hold her responsible for the shit women have to put up with as actresses?

Yawn.

I'd rather keep my dignity than simulate fellatio to entertain strangers.

Right. It's like all judgement flies out the window when it comes to hating and abusing her.

Growing up on the set of Married With Children with an award winning lighting director as your father (and settling down with a well-known film producer) could be classed as small-scale nepotistic step ups.

However, her acting skills are very poor by anyone's standards which proves that you are either born with it or not and there is only so much which can be taught or learned through endlessly observing others on set (what a privilege!) and being ambitious enough to do anything to make it.

I save my admiration for actors like Margot Robbie and Guy Pearce who started in Aussie soaps and made it big in Hollywood despite not coming from acting backgrounds.

small-scale nepotistic step ups 😂
