Harry to give an interview to discuss Charles's illness

[Viviennemary]

I just read an article in the DM about this. I really honestly couldn't believe he would do this. I just hope it isn't true. Just how could he. Privacy????.

Crikey have just caught up with this thread . Fair to say that son is living in Vancouver and I asked him today what the gossip is about IG . He literally hasn’t seen or read anything about it ! He was skiing in Whistler the same weekend that these two were at a swanky restaurant…absolutely no interest or publicity that he knew of …all storm in a teacup.

I don’t think money was his primary objective in writing the book no. He has others sources of income which most journalists do not.

Harry has said many times that first, so many untrue things were written about him that he wanted to set the record straight in his own words. And two, he wanted to get everything out there, good and bad, so no one could claim they had any exclusives about him.

Oh come on, of course he did it for money! He has to pay for that Montecito pile, his security and his wife's expensive tastes! Don't be so naive!

‘Harry has said many times that first, so many untrue things were written about him that he wanted to set the record straight in his own words.’

Biden is saying it’s not true though. So has he written lies about himself? He does have a disclaimer at the start I suppose. What untruthful things were written about him? I thought he sued the papers for illegally obtaining info, I don’t remember something really significant being revealed as an untruth being written about him?

‘two, he wanted to get everything out there, good and bad, so no one could claim they had any exclusives about him.’

exclusives about what? Face cream? Sounds like this is just more conjecture from you tbh.

‘He has others sources of income which most journalists do not.’

As in selling out to other media outlets too? Like Spotify and Netflix?

From monetising his involvement in the Ig, monetising being the spare, monetising his family’s unconscious bias, monetising leaving the RF etc. what won’t he sell out?

How do you know he has to pay for her expensive tastes? 🤔

If not her husband, then who? She hasn't drawn a paycheck in 6+ years, and likely didn't bank much of her pre-marriage earnings either (see: did not own real estate, a car, investments [per her interview re: Ethic].)

That’s a really interesting point CC49. She really hasn’t done anything in years has she? Living off her husbands whines. How feminist.

Surely Meghan got paid for Netflix and the Spotify podcasts.

I don't see the ethic interview where she she says she doesn't have investments to be honest so feel free to share it.

End of the day she did make significant money from her acting, had revenue from her Tig blog and from the movies she did as reported, she could of invested money and be making a fair bit on that, she coukd own property just not in her name all manner of mechanimss wealthy use to make more money, but you don't know either. However to simply claim she doesn't have any money and is living off her husband isn't a fact either its just what you think. So no you really don't know

There are lots of ways these celebrities make money, @Spectre8 - you're right. The expensive clothes, they could be loaned, she could be sponsored to appear in them. Pap walks are often a way celebrities promote clothes and accessories. The bespoke couture she had as a working royal could be sold (I have no idea if it has).
She was no doubt paid for Ellen etc etc.
Plus Charles' generosity - he was giving them a handsome allowance even after their departure
Clever investment would yield good returns.
Borrowing people's private jets etc. it's a whole other lifestyle.

harry said so himself that he needed to earn money fast, his father had cut him off and his millions were for his children’s education and he had security to pay. Within 2/3 years of leaving there was an interview, a series and a book to set the record straight is overkill, to argue this is not for financial gain is ridiculous

Certainly it would not be creating the millions needed to sustain their LA lifestyle.

I think that's where "Spare" comes in, @Newchapterbeckons . Plus all the chat shows.

I think you underestimating how much is required to bankroll another 50 odd years. Both are ageing or even now too old to get big jobs in film etc and they have no other talents so how on earth can they fund their extravagant lifestyle with an ever decreasing pool of opportunity. They are not making anywhere near enough as any financial advisor would tell you.

You're right, I'm in agreement, @Newchapterbeckons - I think all the publicity at the Invictus pre games thing was about drumming up business and/or trying to get back into the royal fold. The latter is the only foolproof way of getting a good income. Plus boosting status and privilege of course.

Exactly it’s a dying star, hence Harry flying over to spend less than 30 mins with his father.

Its all a way of stoking attention to try and cash in on their tenuous connections, and saying he was going to ‘update’ the world on his fathers condition in a morning show was just another despicable and desperate stunt to garner attention by association.

The RF will have to be even more careful as the grifters become ever more desperate to make a buck. They probably need to cut them off altogether to protect themselves in the future. William already has, but it will be harder for the King as his father.

That he hasn’t read or heard anything about The Invictus Games, in the place where a big promotion push was supposedly happening, indicates that the Sussexes weren’t actually there promoting it but rather were promoting themselves through selective interviews and photo opportunities .

X post!!

Yes even in that promo teaser interview it’s quite obvious where the real focus is. The interviewer even acknowledges this at the beginning and tries, and fails, to give a different impression.

The first google brought up this

Even the most daring investments of M’s earnings would not support private jets, the Montecito mansion - upkeep and staff, nannies, wardrobe and grooming and personal assistants etc.

One's definition of "significant money" may vary, but I would assume Meghan didn't bank much more than Adelaide Kane did: https://www.perthnow.com.au/entertainment/confidential/perth-raised-reign-actress-adelaide-kane-releases-candid-tiktok-video-explaining-where-her-salary-goes-ng-b881648695z

You're correct that I don't know, but I am forming my own opinions based on the dots that I'm connecting. E.g., she didn't have a home that appeared on The Tig; U.S. chat shows don't pay guests for appearances (least of all notoriously tight-fisted Ellen); no-one had ever heard of The Tig until she popped up as Harry's girlfriend and archived versions of the site show that its advertising revenue came from low-rent brands like Poo Drops.

Liike you said - I don't really know. But I don't see any evidence that she did have significant money.

Funny how some posters robustly force facts to fit their narrative. Making excuses for Harry’s book, and by extension, life, being full of low self awareness and utter cringe - oh he just publicly shamed himself because he thought the ‘press’ would eventually write a story about his Oedipal complex and his bin chats. Yes sounds so plausible 😂 They would never have gotten access to that information unless he shared it. He shared it because he clearly thought it made him sound relatable, cheeky, maybe even pensive. Perils of living in an echo chamber, he needs some truth talk, and fast! Apparently (according to the ghost writer) he wanted to include stuff that was even more embarrassing but his writer argued with him and wouldn’t agree to it.

And if Biden’s assessment is correct and Harry has just lied to sell copy, that’s just taking advantage of his readers, just to make a quick buck. Puts him in league with all the other slimey immoral journos he loves to pour scorn on, who lie and twist things just to get those stats up. And if he has lied, was that really the extent of his imagination? 😂

I don’t think he has lied, that’s just his title and privilege continuing to serve him when he casually breaks laws. And that’s why he’s generally not taken very seriously as an advocate for vulnerable groups and progressive real change.
