Hollywood Reporter - Meghan and Harry

Why Hollywood Keeps Quitting on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle (hollywoodreporter.com)

Why’d they all leave? What explains the churn? “Everyone’s terrified of Meghan,” claims a source close to the couple. “She belittles people, she doesn’t take advice. They’re both poor decision-makers, they change their minds frequently. Harry is a very, very charming person — no airs at all — but he’s very much an enabler. And she’s just terrible.”

Daily Express today has them blaming a disgruntled source "putting out mistruths".

I'd post a link.but I'm typing on my phone in a bumpy car

I have thought for some time that the RF have information from Meghan’s past and are sitting on it until Harry sees the light.
There’s no way MI6/5 ( get mixed up) didn’t look carefully at Meghan when she joined the RF .
Things could get nasty .

The significance is that previous allegations have been explained away by H+M as baseless smears - they said the RF had made it up and fed the story to the papers. And that there was no bullying, Americans simply do things differently and their UK team couldn't cope with it.

As explained by Omid Scobie, the defence was far more targeted than that. Meghan wasn’t Duchess Difficult, she was “Duchess Different” and her UK office staff were not only workshy but also racist and unwilling to work for a mixed race boss. So quite the smear against her UK staff.

I posted this on another thread but worth reposting . The uncropped photo

That’s been badly managed by their team. Not least as the editor said a dozen members of past and present staff, not just one disgruntled member. I Think they came up with a rebuttal story before seeing the editors interview , so habe embarassed themselves again.

From a still, we have no real idea if that's a representative image, or simply an unfelicitous moment whilst moving turning, ending a smile to speak or whatever.

And yes, what would be the point of showing her smiling, when your narrative is to say something else? That is the very essence of confirmation bias.

Just like that horrible interpretation of Kate's briefly resting (and bitchy looking) face when turning from smiling/waving out of one window, and just before looking animatedly at William, was taken as evidence of unhappiness and lack of love.

That was wrong and this is wrong.

It's nothing to do with whether or not the viewer is ND, it's to do with whether we are seeing a fair view in the first place. I do not think we can ever be sure that is the case with stills, nor with v short clips. They are selected to confirm the hypothesis.

I think there is far better evidence on this than trying to extrapolate micro-expressions from stills selected for effect.

The actions of the Hollywood Reporter in publishing, and standing by nay extending their story in that short vid, plus that coming out despite her being a WME client; that's what I find damning here.

Plus looking at Harry's words and actions over the years

The late Queen was still alive then, so the DC would've been the GGC of the monarch, not the GC.

From the express:

"The Sussex team have had more than enough of these types of articles, it's simply not true.

Everyone is deeply concerned over the timing of the article because it was published just days before Harry's birthday.

"There are fears that there could be a disgruntled former member of staff who is putting out mistruths which are designed to make them look bad.”

They added: "The focus for Camp Sussex now is to build on the success of the last year and to take that positive momentum forward into 2025 and beyond.”

So….They’ll sue if it’s untrue then?…. Thought not. Nice try team Sussex

Indeed . It was the Platinum Jubilee weekend. According to reports , H and M wanted to take a film crew to record Lilibet meeting Lilibet but it was refused .,

So they are deeply concerned about the timing of articles about them and when they are released, despite ensuring for years that they release information to try to take over the headlines whenever the royal family do something to dominate the headlines.

Mistruths my arse. When are they ever going to take any accountability for their behaviour. It’s always everyone else never them. It’s good to see the US is not being so gullible now.

So….They’ll sue if it’s untrue then?…. Thought not. Nice try team Sussex

It not untrue though. The Hollywood Reporter will be absolutely certain that it’s true.

You do understand this conversation is about a dozen employees speaking up about bullying and not about a single photo. It feels like you’ve lost sight of what’s being discussed and decided to focus on an image.

no one gives a shit if the image proves or not, it’s a side line. What’s important is all the employees speaking up.

Yes and they’ve issued that statement before they knew it was so many employees.

indeed but I was responding to the poster who said the children had never been on British soil since they left for America. This was not true as the Queen met her great granddaughter and lillibet had her first birthday here. This was famously the time the Queen( v wisely )refused any photos with their private photographer. Just keeping it factual.

I did say yes, they came over once, when the queen was alive for the platinum jubilee, and haven’t been back since.

you did. I cross posted and missed it . Apologies

Exactly!
How unfortunate. It just makes them look worse.

So now the denial has come, this is the moment for a load of other stories / evidence / videos to emerge, after the denial for maximum damage. (If there are any other stories.)

Surely if the HR has found 12 people willing to speak up, someone else will too. And if Meghan is as bad as they make out, there must be a lot of people who have witnessed such behaviour.

I've never seen the word "mistruths" used before I don't think. Is it the same as untruths or what most of us call lies? Or just the usual verbosity and mangling of language?

Not to mention Prince Phillip is in hospital - here’s our Oprah interview!!

Too many skeletons for the closet to close!

@Serenster do you happen to know anything of NDA restrictions relating to bullying in California?

Well truth is subjective according to their own definition isn't it ? So they can't accuse anyone of telling mistruths . The accusers are telling THEIR truth after all.which Is totally fine because H and M do that all the time regardless of whether it actually happened or not so either way they are hoist by their own petard.

I also am certain that, at the very least, the senior working royals knew that Prince Philip had been sent home on palliative care to die. If that had been shared with Harry, it makes the interview even worse, but even if it hadn’t been it was still incredibly insensitive timing.
