Netflix deal, looking like it may be over for H&M

[Thedom]

The rumours have been doing the rounds for a while, but Puck News now reporting it, which means it is very likely that their contract with Netflix will not be renewed.

"The streamer is not expected to renew its five-year, $100 million deal signed in 2020 with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Meghan’s passion project, the animated kids show Pearl, has already been canceled, and the unscripted cooking and polo offerings didn’t connect the way the royal couple’s Harry & Meghan did. "

@CarmelaBrunella this is a guy who sees everything through a lens of William, for him if Charlotte and Louis had Princess and Prince titles so then should Archie and lilibet, all facts are drowned out by “it’s not fair” and yes the racial element was an added touch of revenge. In Harry world the only significant point is William’s children didn’t have to wait.

I don’t think Harry did know. If he refused to learn the history of his ancestry then he would also refuse to learn about the Monarchy Admin. I genuinely believe his is as thick as mince with a bad attitude. A very dangerous combination once he’s off the leash. And everyone is saying oh, Harry will be destroyed by Meghan once they divorce. What if Harry goes public too? It will be a riveting saga of the airing of a tsunami of dirty laundry, skid marks and all, and by god, that will make each of them millions and won’t the world love it? Once bullies have no one to bully they then turn on each other.

I think you're right. Harry is so completely self absorbed, he didn't step back, evaluate the situation and understand the process and procedure. Instead, he complained and made it a racist issue.

Unfortunately, @QueenOfHertz I think you're absolutely right. It took most of us about 2 minutes on the internet to understand the line of succession, titles and Letters Patent.
I don't care if he's lazy and ignorant, it is all the lying about the racist reasons that is so offensive.
You're also probably right in your predictions.

I don’t think they’ll divorce. Personally in fact I really hope they don’t for their children’s sake and I do think they love each other. I just think they bring out the worst in each other.

😂😂😂
Yes we are all 'thick' and easily manipulated by the media 😂

Gosh the whole of the UK is thick 🤩

@Baital 😂that's us! Even those of us who never read the tabloids 😂

60 million (?) people, all thick. And racist.

Unlike the population of the USA, of course!

They are entangled on many levels IMO. She wanted someone to fund a lifestyle of $12k a pop outfits and a lifestyle of wafting about in cashmere in California every day being admired by an adoring public. He was looking for someone to validate his jealousy tendencies to be reframed as mistreatment. It’s a symbiotic relationship but not a healthy one.

Harry has been indulged by everyone since he came into the world. Fact is, he is a not-very-bright chap who has never had to learn how the world works. Once he’s settled his ‘looking for tigers in trees’ legal bills and Meghan realised there is nothing left because they are financially leveraged to the max and she’s gonna to have to stop flogging overpriced jam and take a walk-on part on Days of our lives, things will change. It’s no wonder PW looks like he eyerolls every time H&M are brought up.

Goodness. Please do Come back to us once President Trump is a reality once more won’t you? 😂

If Prince Harry is your reference point it’s understandable that you may think the UK is a bit thick and racist, he is not the best example of what Britain has to offer.

No the US is much worse. Why? Because they have freedom of speech and aren’t curtailed like the press is here.

NYPost for example.
The night H and M had a car chase around New York. Harry requested that these photos are not published because of the distressing nature of them.

Not one British newspaper printed those photos. Not one.

Various US newspapers/media outlets did. It was also the US papers that quickly questioned Harry and Meghans version of events. The NYT and NYPost for obvious reasons. The British papers only reflected the criticism they were receiving from the US because they knew a high speed car chase round NY wasnt possible.

The volume of stories on the couple are not the same. There are far more stories in the UK. But the headlines in the US are always worse when then can be bothered to write about them.

It is weird that racism being more 'subtle' is a criticism. I.e. discrimination (which absolutely exists, plus the recent riots show that sections of the population have deeply racist attitudes) is somehow worse than it being open season on killing black.people who are e.g. out jogging on the grounds they must be a criminal.

Both are disgusting.

But as a person of colour it is safer in the UK.

Also, I don't think it's possible to make judgements about the UK either from tabloids or any kind of claims from Meghan and Harry.

I think it was about giving Oprah the racist story,

👏

Eh?
What things?

Can you give actual examples of this "constant bullying"?
You could perhaps start with the huge welcome she got (there's anew Ch5 documentary which shows the contemporaneous reporting), then ignoring the petty gripes about clothes - which is the Fergie playbook, which is indeed wrong but is not racist (easily shown by its origins before Harry was even born) - what on earth are you on about?

Yes warm welcome initially. You've seen the comparisons between how the same things were portrayed between Kate and Meghan. Oh Kate cradles her bump, Oh why does Meghan always touch her bump. Etc etc. Very short selective memories on here.

The "touching the bump" thing is just silly. That was the kind of thing most people just ignore. If that kind of trivial nonsense gets to you, it's best not to pursue a celebrity lifestyle. If you're trying to get as many pictures and headlines as possible, like H&,M, you've got to understand they may not always be fawning, and deferential. Not everyone will just curtsey to you, literally or metaphorically. A tough lesson for Meghan, perhaps.

It’s not really surprising that the British media are ‘interested ‘ and sometimes critical of H &M. Non British people don’t really understand that if , heavens forfend, William and his children were wiped out ( for example in an air crash) Harry would be King once the present monarch expires. So it is more significant to us that the fifth in line to the throne seems to hate and despise Britain, the British people and their institutions. There is, I think , quite a strong feeling that their rejection of the splendid and very tailored wedding, the renovated residence, the patronages and positions allocated to them (Meghan and the National Theatre for instance) has been ‘ungrateful’ and bizarrely a bit hurtful.

So when I saw Kate , William and all three children travelling on one plane, my heart sank.

whilst both reports of pregnancy by the papers the pregnancies happened at very different periods of their relationships. Catherine’s pregnancies happened after her rollercoaster with the press, she had become part of the furniture do to speak. We can only speculate on how Catherine pregnancy would be reported if it happened in the first two years. Meghan pregnancies came whilst she was still shiny and new and the press click baiting. Meghan was racial mistreated by the press that needs to be called out but it loses significance when nothing can be said negatively about Meghan and Harry without accusations of racism.

Weren't the rules changed because the succession had changed so a daughter with younger brothers would still be the heir? Nothing to do with William or Harry but instead to do with future generations.

Yes, @Lisbeth50 . In a nutshell, it was to stop one of William's daughters having lower precedence than her younger brother. This was done before Harry was married.
H&M were just scrabbling round for something to tell Oprah about how badly they were treated. It was either very ignorant or very deceptive.

@Lisbeth50 I think with the rule change, and all William's children getting titles from birth, obviously Harry saw this as all William's children getting titles because they were grandchildren of the heir (which should therefore apply to his children as well), but actually the additional titles were for children of a direct heir (and so applies to George's children, but not Charlotte's or Louis')

I've always been confused by Harry's dislike of a royal system that puts him below his brother, but he's perfectly fine with him and his children being above his cousins (and, you know, the rest of the population). For example, he didn't complain of any unfairness when Beatrice's and Eugenie's children didn't get titles, despite those children also being great grandchildren of the monarch.
