I didn’t know that, @Gracewithoutend

glad to hear it though

not sure enough people will pay to hear them/see them/read their words when they aren’t spilling the dirt in the RF.

Neither of them are healthy, clean living and inspirational.
The Spotify statement is to mutually save face. It doesn't matter how hard they worked. If they had retained an audience then it would have continued.
They obviously had influential people fighting their corner to land them the deal (I am guessing Tyler Perry).

I suspect she was always easily led by whispers of money making which is why she retained a team in the US after marrying a Prince and was then seduced back hoping to use the fame to get very rich. It is expected because she had mostly fails and then one success at the end of her acting career so she would be itching to give it a try.

It pretty much sums up why you shouldn't forcefully promote yourself when you have nothing worthwhile to offer to a paying audience. They will vote with their feet.

Of course, there have be3n rumours about Megan reviving her lifestyle SM “The Tig”

no idea if this is true.

It could be another lawsuit against Spotify? 🤔It will give Harry something to do for another year or two.

I don't know if that is possible. The blog came from the angle of a single girl about town who was fashion obsessed and occasionally offered hints about her liaisons. It was more fictional and photoshopped than she wanted people to ever find out

TrashyPanda · 16/06/2023 09:06

I never looked at the Tig, so I didn’t know that @Elior

so it was pretty and pretty shallow at the same time?

Couldn’t she do a ‘Goop’? A Tig for a happily, married woman living the dream? Taking a break from the daily toddler grind with trips and luxury escapes to ‘secret’ destinations.

How expensive is their lifestyle? If I wanted to be ‘richest on the hill’ and impress the shallow, REALLY impress, how much would I need to live my deeper truth in total luxury?

Clothes - £2m per year all in? Accessories, will I get designer freebies? Make-up
Bags alone could be 500k PA, Hermes, etc

Hair & make-up artists - 500k per year plus travel expenses

Security - ?? £1m per year

School/nursery & nannies - 500k (?)
Clothing/accessories/tutor etc, ponies, £ hobbies - 500k (?)

H - beige polo shirts - Ralph Laren sale - ditto chinos & red & mustard cords for European travel - 100 quid.

Staff - housekeepers/specialised chefs - 600 PA - conservative - team of gardeners. Dog care - canine chef :) chickens, dog walkers, misc…Yoga/gym/pilates in house staff, ditto beauty/staff, handymen, etc

Mortgage - do they have one?

Redecoration - annually to keep up with trends 500k
Maintenance of house 100PA - painting, running plant room

SO how much do they currently have? 50 million? More?
How much does above cost PA? 4.5-6 M?
They need an income stream…
What would generate needed ££?

IF I am wanting to be as per Jackie O or Carolyn Besette Kennedy & outdo Kate in her small, damp, English home, my wishlist or 5 year plan might include:

Yacht - fully staffed - huge & luxurious
Jet
Second home/s - fully staffed - Tuscany and/or South of France
Ski Lodge - Aspen
Balinese villa - Bali or island somewhere fab in SE Asia
Billionaire - how many are young & handsome & easy going? Can I manifest one with crystals do you reckon :)
And? And how to get there?

Gracewithoutend · 16/06/2023 09:28

@Peverellshire That's their lifestyle costs. Their income would be more than that to cover tax and their agents fees that can run to 20%. It's a lot of money to bring in.

Howsimplywonderful · 16/06/2023 09:29

I think Spotify’s cancelling of her podcast show there is a limited audience for Meghan’s waffling.

Howsimplywonderful · 16/06/2023 09:29

@Peverellshire

They’d also need a private jet.

recsw · 16/06/2023 09:29

Is there such a thing as a canine chef?! My dogs eat cr*p (literally, fox or horse for their preference) so we wouldn't need that 😀

In CA there are resident astrologers, IV infusion therapists, resident ozone therapists (blood) all the rage, seriously..

Cyrotheraphy, sp?, the freezing chamber thing celebs have in house, -30 so you drop lbs…Oh & I forgot the nutritionists, derms, mole mapping, bi monthly escape to La Prarie clinic in Switzerland - another 100k. :)

Of course! Agents…what’s a ballpark figure to run life do you reckon?…

How to generate limitless wealth?

Harry had what 20m from Mum? Easy to see how money could all too easily evaporate in this bubble?

The problem has always been wanting a diamond lifestyle on a silver budget!

MrsFinkelstein · 16/06/2023 09:43

Scoobydoobywho · 15/06/2023 20:18

Has anybody watched The Duchess of Sus on YouTube. She is re-enacting parts of "Spare" and Meghan's podcast.

She's brilliant. So so funny. What makes it funnier is that it's based on Harry's audio book, it's like when SNL parodied Sarah Palin using her own words.

I think M assumed platinum, she’s always traded up. She’s intelligent, beautiful & super charismatic…Many could turn a profit, with that hand of cards, with base metal, she’s got ‘silver’ as a starting point.

Link? Not sure I am looking at right thing.

Sweetpeasaremadeforbees · 16/06/2023 09:57

I do think they've squandered what could have been a fantastic plan for the rest of their lives for the sake of short term cash and fame. I think HMQ was right when she suggested Meghan go back to acting. Her fame would have got her roles initially and then if she could prove she was an okay actor (I think so long as she wasn't dreadful she'd have been alright, plenty of actors are just competent, it's not rocket science) she could have built up her career gradually and maybe gone into directing/producing. Harry could have been a house husband and carried on with Invictus. By being discreet and private they would have increased their value to the entertainment industry.

But instead they've chosen to make their careers all about talking, well we can all do that. But now they're running out of things to talk about and many people are getting bored of them, especially since no huge revelations about the the RF have materialised. Whilst we might be interested in their latest shenanigans, how many people are honestly willing to pay to hear about it or pay to read their thoughts on yoga or wellness. There are loads of people out there doing it far better than these two.

CathyorClaire · 16/06/2023 10:00

Spotify, the mugs are reported to have paid some £18m for the podcast deal.

Looks like they've been taken for a right royal ride by the Sussex stallion.

jeffgoldblum · 16/06/2023 10:02

The problem is that to us , they seem rich but in the circle they want to move in they are comparatively poor .

Puzzledandpissedoff · 16/06/2023 10:03

Cyrotheraphy, sp?, the freezing chamber thing celebs have in house

For a dreadful moment there I thought you meant cryonics - as in Alcor, etc, who'll freeze you when you die on the pretence of reanimating you years later when they can cure whatever-it-was

A handy way, perhaps, for the RF to assure their own longevity, if only it wasn't all such a con ..

ArcaneWireless · 16/06/2023 10:04

The Announcement that they will no longer talk about the RF?

it could well be more damage limitation than anything else. Like or loathe the RF, I think their negativity has damaged people’s perception of H&M.

As much as folk might like a wee gossip or dirt, I think a lot more find one sided mud slinging at best distasteful. And like it or not, for as many who find them amazing, there are probably just as many who have a negative opinion or think they are objects of ridicule.

A step back and a rebrand seems sensible.

I don’t think ‘wellness’ is a route at the moment. Maybe for her but not for him.

Aye sweetpeas it is a opportunity squandered. It’ll take some doing to turn it around I think.
