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.”

No, she'd keep it - she'd be Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. So slightly different styling.

She'd lose it if she remarried though

There haven’t been many royal divorces recently, but what happened to Princess Tessy of Luxembourg was instructive. She was married to a younger son of the reigning monarch (Grand Duke is his actual title) and had two young sons when they divorced in the UK courts - which are generally seen as favouring fairly equable awards to divorcing spouses.

Anyway, despite her in-laws being worth more than four billion (they are one of the very wealthiest royal families around) Tessy got to stay in the marital home, and received an allowance of £4000 per year per child. The court was very clear that the family’s wealth was not shared with the younger son, and although he was paid an allowance by his father, his wife had no claim on as it was not his money. She only had a claim on his individual assets, which you can see from the settlement, were modest.

Harry has more individual assets. But he’s not currently paid an allowance (so far as we know) so it’s unlikely any court would make an award that went further than Harry’s own assets. And if there were a divorce (obviously, this is hypothetical), it would entirely depend on where they chose to get divorced as to how they’d work out which of Harry’s assets would be considered marital property, and so in the pot to be divided.

So are you a tabloid person on here to sell.

Me neither and I am pretty familiar with it .

Also seen quite a few photos where her mask has slipped when looking at Catherine - TBH quite scary

Yes, I noticed that too.

I'd be interested to know how many staff members they have now - I didn't get the impression their team was that big. If 18 have left in the last four years, then 12 sources willing to speak out against them has got to be a sizeable proportion of the people who have worked for them surely?

The pool could well be significantly wider than that, depending on who the journalists considered to be people who have worked with them. There were some 28 people credited on the Archetypes podcast, for example, and there will have been similar numbers on the Netflix series. Plus contractors like hairdressers, make up artists, domestic staff etc, and possibly even people from professional advisers like WME or Sunshine Sachs…

I get that it can be both difficult to know how to respond to a situation when you're the 'principal' and therefore set the tone. I recall that time when Catherine was criticised for her wrapping skills (or something similar) and she gave a slight eye roll - I thought it was very funny and showed a bit of her personality but she's not there to take the limelight, she's there to showcase others, so in that regard she wasn't fulfilling the role - but it is a learning curve.
She (Catherine) obviously has learned to cope with curve balls - there was a recent incident when at the Disabiltiy rugby event in leeds, a young man. grabbed her from behind. Given, the possibilities of danger that the royals face, I thought Catherine was amazing in the way she wasn't fazed by the surprise physical approach but engaged the young man in a positive way.

Perhaps Meghan would have developed in the role to be better able to take positive charge of situations like this - perhaps not. She didn't show much of an understanding of how to behave in public situations -I'm reminded of the review of the Prince of Wales (as Charles) investiture materials event when H&M hovered near a door when according to protocol they should have already passed through and been in the next reception room, also an event at a cathedral when she literally dragged Harry away from people he was speaking to in the line up. But again, these were relatively early days in her short lived royal career. Famously wanting to hit the ground running but perhaps not understanding the need that years of quiet learning could not be compressed into what turned out to be a couple of hundred days of Royalling (and many fewer than that were active duty days)

Going back to the royals playing the long game as they always do, I'm sure a few scenarios for separation have been worked through.

Regardless of Harry's role in creating the mess, it is him and his image that will be protected. Operation let Meghan continue to lie is the equivalent of giving her enough rope to bury her reputation. The more she lies, the less she will be believed. At a certain point, even truthful disclosures will be worth little.

They are letting her ruin her own credibility. It will cost them less.

Harry has been brainwashed. He’s weak vulnerable and stupid just a little bit.. rumours are this marriage has not got very long to run and everything points to the fact that she is the biggest narcissistic golddigger on the planet. You cannot write all these things about somebody without there being quite a lot of threads of truth, meanwhile there are children that don’t exist because we never see them and they will be reeled out when they need to make a bit more money. She is manipulative divisive and hopefully will come acropper soon when she is finally exposed once the NDA expire .

I think it was clear that she always wanted to just be with Harry without any of the rest of it. Very immature and self centred. She also didn’t appear to care whether she was following protocol or embarrassing others.

I don’t think there’s a time limit on the NDAs. It’s possible to leak however, I imagine. Also what are the repercussions if someone does break the terms of an NDA I wonder?

Its employees, past and present , so I’d assume their various archewell companies, the non profit, the productions, audio etc their private staff, ie house keeper, cleaners, gardeners, Nannies, personal assistants, security staff, and also their previous palace staff.

here are the ones who have quit so far. I’d say it was a sizeable portion though to be fair at 12 willing to talk.

I assume it depends who the NDA is with. If it’s with the Palace from when H&M worked as royals, then it would be up to the Palace to sue.

I'm sure the secret service know more about Meghan than is public knowledge.
I bet they have spoken to her first husband. And lots of staff.
Everything they know might be enough to get Harry access to the children if they separate and divorce.
It's the children that will suffer in the long run.

I think Harry knows full well that her behaviour on many occasions has been awful, whether he's ever told her, I guess we'll never know. The time that they were at an event where an autistic child was singing the American national anthem springs to mind. Meghan was smirking and kept turning round to look at Harry as if to get him to acknowledge and join in with her disdain but he refused to look at her, he quite clearly knew that she was being mean.

If only someone would break the terms . There would be a veritable avalanche of disclosures !

The hatred seeping from from this thread is horrifying.

You lot would burn Meghan at the stake given half the chance.

The media have a role but the worship to a King who took another £45mil while they’re cutting winter fuel payments for those who need it is extraordinary.

Charles married his mistress then made her queen despite QEII’s explicit wishes.

Then he sells the worlds most unwanted ginger step child to the British media in exchange for good press and a heir who does diddly squat.

what are you on about ? The only person selling themselves are H and M themselves. And to.the highest bidder with no care for who they hurt along the way.

Who is the ginger step child of Charles? 🤷‍♀️

Are you saying that Charles is not Harry's father @spaceshooter ?

Are you drunk? The queen put out a statement that it was her personal wish for Camilla to be queen, and are you Really nastily insinuating Charles isn’t Harry’s father, I do hope not.

Harry was 2 when Diana met James Hewitt so don't bother with that argument.

Then he sells the worlds most unwanted ginger step child to the British media in exchange for good press and a heir who does diddly squat.

Shame on you to suggest Harry is not Charles' son. He looks the image of his dad and his grandfather, Philip. It has caused him immense mental anguish to have had his parentage questioned, he writes about this in Spare.

You sound slightly unhinged. Btw QEII explicitly supported Camilla being given the title of Queen Consort.
