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.”

Would you work for Harry and Meghan? Ex-employees say run away.

I have seen the inheritance from QEm as being 8 million and then elsewhere as 90 million. Anyone know which is correct? I mean it's a bit of a difference,!

Frenchcountryhomes · 16/09/2024 21:43

I see H and M have been at Tyler Perrys birthday party. It’s strange H isn’t having a party himself . I would have thought M would have jumped at the chance to invite lots of Slebs.

I doubt anyone will actually know if it's a high amount, a low one or nothing at all since royal wills are unfortunately sealed

Unless of course Harry's mentioned a sum himself, in which case I missed it - and who'd believe him anyway?

AFAIK the figures aren't public - neither the amount that was originally put in trust, nor its present-day value.

Nor exactly who it was left to. The late Queen Mother had 12 great-grandchildren, and how the sum was to be split between them isn't public either, though it's frequently reported that Prince William (as direct heir) would be getting a lesser share as he was in line for the Duchy incomes idc.

BreadInCaptivity · 16/09/2024 22:05

It's been reported that the trust was set up in 1994 with £19m. That's not public record though and who knows if that's accurate?

What that is worth today and how it's split between the 12 great- grandchildren is also speculation.

Assuming though the figures are accurate £100 in 1994 is worth £205 today.

So even without judicious investment it's worth at least double. That divided by 12 is circa £3m.

So it's unlikely to be in the tens of millions but upwards of £3m as it is also reported that William gets less/nothing (which sounds feasible) and I'll bet it will have been very well invested.

On that basis £8m sounds like a reasonable guess - but essentially a guess is all it will be.

What issues did he have with her?

Genuine question: I've just been googling and didn't find anything about that (possibly not using the right search terms?)

Yes, he didn't keep her on - but of course Queen Camilla would have her own household already established, and with the death of ER II there would be no role. She was given a house (hers for life) as part of her exit terms, which is pretty good as part of a redundancy package. And after 30 years service, I'd expect there's a good (public sector) pension too.

KC got a fair amount of bad press about some actions after his accession (such as waiting until Edward's birthday before creating him Duke of Edinburgh) and there was lots of chuntering. And I was wondering if this was just another part of that chuntering, rather than anything amiss. She'd been such a fixture in ER II's life for so long that I'd have thought the others (RF, courtiers, more junior staff) would have just seen her as part of the landscape, and a reliable, trustworthy part to boot.

I have no idea whether he had 'issues' with AK. Just saying that minor annoyances can coexist with genuine respect and appreciation, IF there were minor annoyances.

She’d not compete with Tyler. And who’d go to their party over that?

but we knew it was coming, the images of Megan grinning and “living her best life” ..every time there is negative publicity it happens. I do wonder what the other guests thought,,,for Megan it’s all about being in the same room as them.

NeverMindTheBackProblems · 16/09/2024 23:25

When is Hazza's birthday bash with the boys? Who is going? I wonder if anyone will distance themselves after this report?

PigglyWigglyOhYeah · 17/09/2024 06:13

And sitting with her hand plastered to her face to make sure everyone can see her rings, to ensure we know she and Harry are still together. Also it reminds journalists to add in the value of them when totting up how many hundreds of thousands of dollars-worth of jewellery snd clothing she's strapped herself into this time.

Sussurations · 17/09/2024 06:41

Yes, but (as far as I can see) no seatbelts for H&M?

its Curious so many famous people at that bash and so few of them seen. Oprah seen as she just doesn’t give a shit. You can see she’s not even paying the paps attention.

The rest were able to arrive and leave discreetly. Except Harry and Megan and their guest. With Megan grinning like a Cheshire Cat when she saw the paps. Part of me wonders if she called them.

i did chuckle at their statment over the Hollywood reporter article, that they were concerned and thought it was a former disgruntled employee. lol. No hon, it was someone who just loved working for you. 😂 yeah it was a disgruntled employee, 12 of them, as they think you’re an abusive bullying employer. I mean that’s the whole point of the article. They are disgruntled employees!

what a pair of twats

PigglyWigglyOhYeah · 17/09/2024 07:00

I wonder if he finds her behaviour embarrassing?

JADS · 17/09/2024 07:24

It's clearly style it out and minimise which is their PR MO.

Harry's birthday weekend seems to be him being dragged around to other people's photo ops. The lighting director clearly didn't sign an NDA!

"Then the remarks that William didn't marry Catherine for love"

partly I believe this to be true. In the way that William could not afford to marry only for love and needed his wife to be able to cope with all the demands that would be put upon her, produce several heirs, be a figurehead for a country and commonwealth and an extremely influential player on the world stage.
when your marriage involves all those above factors you can't afford to marry for love alone.
they may not share the worlds most "knocked off my feet" romantic love but clearly they have great respect for each other, are happy and relaxed in each others company and make a good team.

the modern world dismisses the value of a strong marital partnership that is based on more than romantic love. This is a mistake in my opinion. Look where it's got Hazza.

All of those attributes don’t preclude romantic love. Just because William may have been looking for other characteristics that would give his marriage a chance of success doesn’t mean he didn’t also feel giddy about Catherine. It was belittling of Harry to suggest otherwise.

I’ve always found the Markle “love story” difficult to swallow, by contrast. Whatever brought them together, it wasn’t love in any meaningful sense.

Oprah is driving herself, ditto the Paramount boss. No security in those cars by the look of it. I can also see Meghan systematically sits in the middle seat giving any photographer a better view. Idk if the press were tipped off but being high profile, the likes of Oprah I would think are potential kidnap for ransom targets. I wonder if they were also ok to be papped whilst exposing that they don’t have security driving them everywhere…

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attend Tyler Perry's birthday party

They seemed in great spirits, as Meghan, 43, was pictured grinning and giggling next to her husband, 40, in the backseat of a black Range Rover.

Definitely not £90million. The Queen had to pay off her mother’s debts when she died. QM also had other ggc to leave money to. I’m hearing that £8million could even be overstated.

I think Oprah does go about her business without security, from what I’ve read.also as she lives in montecito and the party wasn’t publicised , it would be a short drive, she clearly saw the paps and ignored them, the parmount guys wife covering her face, I’d honestly think Megan called them.

reports saying a lot of famous people there, I’d assume that to be correct, a lot of famous people live there, and he will have huge connections. Funny none of them papped.

Stickystickysticky · 17/09/2024 08:01

Would Meghan sue her brother if he publicly tells lies about her ?

BunnyLake · 17/09/2024 08:06

I see David Beckham has just won an Emmy for his Netflix documentary. Ouch that’s got to hurt 😁 I really enjoyed it (didn’t watch the H&M one as its trailers were so off putting).

Uricon2 · 17/09/2024 08:06

While we'll never know for sure, I think the QMs legacies were (relatively) modest. She lived in grand style but only owned one house, the Castle of Mey, which was signed over to a trust. She was funded by the Civil list, I imagine also propped up by the late Queen, who is known to have paid her debts off. I'm sure any money she did want passed to her grandchildren/gt grandchildren was well invested but figures like 90 million seem really improbable, 8 for Harry much more feasible.

ETA I suppsoe it is not beyond belief that Harry might say how much "only" whatever inheritance is, framed as further "proof" of being cut off and impoverished, etc etc. He is possibly tone deaf enough.

cheezncrackers · 17/09/2024 08:22

Is Harry holding up a phone and filming the paps that his wife called?

Mylovelygreendress · 17/09/2024 08:26

Isn’t it lucky that Meghan just happens to be sitting right in the middle of the back seat rather than stuck behind the driver and bodyguard like the other 2 ? This way the paps manage to get a photo of her grinning .
How fortunate.

IAmATorturedPoet · 17/09/2024 08:29

She has planted her derrière right there, centre of the back seat where we can all see her looking joyous!

Absolutely shameless 😂😂

Indeed. And that she is sitting in such a casual way with her hand up to her face, like we all do when we are on a car journey 🙄(obviously we might if the driver is terrible but that’s in a slightly different context 😆)
