What do you think?

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

That is not a lot of money per working year of her career. The side hustles (Soho House earnings, working her way up socially) paid much more.

Yeah awful isn't it. pfft... $2million. Peanuts.

VixenTodd · 02/03/2023 12:29

At least Meghan's was not her real life just acting.

I'm not going to say it 😂😂😂

An actress had some sidelines? What a bitch. What a loser.

I'm sure Emma Watson modelling for Burberry and Vogue is a non comparison.

It is not a lot to the Royal Family. Charles accepts £1 million in cash in suitcases. So loose change to them.

Lol. It’s not about if Charles can afford it. 😂 of course he can. It’s should be pay for Andrew to live there and he doesn’t wish to. Im with him, wtf should he. The reason Andrews skint is because he paid millions to the trafficked woman he was accused of having sec with when she was a teen so he didn’t need to front up in court.

id not be paying his bills either.

@VixenTodd
Your comment below was something like did QE know. I can't be bothered to copy it.

I am saying even if she didn't her children, sister and PP did much worse in real life that she had to deal with. See the list below. So any thing Meghan does as acting shouldn't have sent any shockwaves.

Hope you understand now. 😊

You seem to misunderstand the point. Emma was given a unique break as a child actress because she looked/sounded like the author of a book imagined her own character to look/sound. She was not talented, she had unique appeal to the person who invented the character. All the roles she won since have been off the back of the franchise, including modeling ones.
Why are you still comparing Emma Watson and Meghan?

No, I understand completely. Watson got the role because she was the right image for it. And Markle got her roles because she was the right image for those. But Watson, despite being talentless, gets a pass and Markle, despite being quite good, doesn't. Because unique situation and non comparison.

Honestly, don't worry. I really do understand it.

"Hot chick" roles aren't won upon the same basis. They require you to project a sexy image. Many Hollywood wannabee actresses are willing and able to do that which is the only reason it is competitive.
Others are able to do it but refuse to go there.

Good for them. So what? The roles are there, they're usually created by men, and many actresses have the choice of trying for those roles or getting nothing at all. Maybe you'd choose an empty bank balance and a blank CV because those are your principles, but there's nothing wrong with other women deciding otherwise...and it's not their fault that that's the overriding option for them.

VixenTodd · 02/03/2023 12:48

You said that before Meghan was from a rich background and married one of those exploitative Hollywood man who create these sexy roles. Why would she have an empty bank account? I'm sure it's not me being thick. 😃

No I didn't. You're confusing me with someone else.

Plitvice · 02/03/2023 12:56

Meghan's hubby definitely worked to promote those stereotypical hot chick roles so the Engleson couple (Trevor and Meghan) weren't part of a feminist solution but a part of the problem within the Industry.

It's all very well to reinvent yourself once you are past your hot chick shelf life and remarried. That was a funny podcast.

VixenTodd · 02/03/2023 12:58

Stans shot themselves in the foot on that note.

a) If you disapprove of her husband, why blame her?

b) What's wrong with doing the hot chick roles while they're available and then doing something else when they no longer are? Are you saying you'd respect her more if she was still going for 20-something characters when in her 40s? That actors, or other professionals, never change direction as they age?

This is honestly a joke. It's fine not to like her but the stuff she's being demonised for is just risible.

I can see why you would think that.

But I believe Harry has given him little choice and zero reason to keep up the charade. Harry and Meghan have publicly bullied and emotionally blackmailed the entire family for long enough. Publicly demanding an apology and the language he used to do so would have been my last straw.

They have not used Frogmore for years now except when necessary. Certainly they have extensive options of secure places to stay in other Crown properties if they ever do wish to spend time in the UK. They clearly have no interest in doing that now except for funerals and jubilees. And those are visits only, which don’t require a mansion to be held empty in perpetuity.

Even the royal reporters are confused (this one particularly loathes H&M) 😏

I hope Harry respects his Fathers feelings and skips the coronation.

Me too, I see nothing vindictive in it. Harry has went out of his way to attack his family publicly and for money, he’s declared he lives in the USA and he’s loved at frogmore for 6 months, the other 2.5 years it’s been basically empty other than when Eugenie stayed.

I don’t see it as vindictive I see it as a correct decision based on Harry’s absolute drive to attack the monarchy as soon as someone offers him money to do so

Your argument fails because they were both pro-hot chick roles on different sides of the camera, just not the same camera at once. She was certainly not going hungry or morally conflicted. They were both enjoying the spoils of it as a long term couple for years and years.

If you have an issue with sexual exploitation in the movie industry then this person is definitely not your champion whistleblower unless you are deluded.

Quoting people I don’t know off Twitter who make a living on this nonsense won’t change my opinion.

I think Charles is doing what he has to do. Ripping off the bandaid that’s been on too long. Showing Harry he won’t give in to his blackmail.

Also, damned if I would give those two a place where they can bring Netflix cameras onto crown property ever again. No, they can be guests and visitors.

Not really. According to the publicly known information the Sussexes had a lease running from April 2021 to April 2022. Every lease requires either the landlord or tenant to give notice that they won’t renew it/want to terminate it. That notice is normally 90 days. Which would take us from April to January. It’s very likely that the decision to give the couple notice was actually made earlier, before Spare came out, as Charles would have to instruct his property management team, they’d have to draw up the notice in advance and then send it when the date that was 90 days before the anniversary of the lease arrived.

So it’s far more likely that it’s a coincidence.

Serenster · 02/03/2023 13:18

(Sorry, dates should be April 2022 to April 2023, obviously! Pfft, it’s March now, you’d think I’d remember the year has changed 😀)

Andrew still has access to crown property though, as he should 😂
