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.

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

Looks like it.

Mylovelygreendress · 17/09/2024 08:32

No worries @IAmATorturedPoet . I knew I wouldn’t be the only one to notice . She just loves the camera !

Stickystickysticky · 17/09/2024 08:31

Looks like it.

Apart from Oprah ( driving herself) were any other guests papped .
If Meghan is suspected of contacting Backgrid , other celebs may not be happy .
Do other celebs go everywhere with security guards ?

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.

I thought it was a massive tax dodge spinned as “debt” but she was known to have a very extravagant lifestyle!

I wonder if he finds her behaviour embarrassing?

Id say all of it because it is. She’s played him like a fiddle. William could see it all and that’s probs why they fell out

Frenchcountryhomes · 17/09/2024 09:32

PigglyWigglyOhYeah · 17/09/2024 06:13

but we knew it was coming, the images of Megan grinning and “living her best life"

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.

I noticed that but didn’t dare say it!

There are at least 2 (and probably more like 200, in fact) instances for us all to see on video. The OTT curtsey, where Harry looks appalled with her performance and the one where they're sitting watching some kind of sports performance, I think, where she suddenly grabs his arm with one hand and places her other hand firmly on his thigh. He turns slightly away, his jaw clenching and the look on his face!! He's aware the cameras are right in them, so can't tell her to F-off, but that's what his body language is screaming. It's not a gesture of affection or even lust - it's pure control.

That's not counting the seal-clapping when she intruded herself into a charity polo match for juniors, and tries to grab the trophy from the team capt. Harry looks exasperated and tried to get her out of the way, but Meghan just will not take the hint. So, so many. How long have you got? And these are just the ones on film.

Sorry, Cattery - that reply was to PigglyWiggly!

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.

It is also important to remember that William and Catherine met and lived out the first few years of their relationship at university, at a time when the press were not allowed to follow William or report on him. Harry and Meghan are much older and the press was there almost from the start.

Just because we don't see something doesn't mean it hasn't happened. William and Catherine went through the initial falling in love stage privately and the press could only report once they left university, several years into their relationship. I see no evidence that they aren't in love, they are just generally less open with body language etc in public. Considering how much of their lives is played out in front of the press I'm glad they have parts that are just theirs.

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.

To be fair, if I was in the back of a car with DH and a mutual friend, I would always sit in the middle because a) I want to be next to DH (imagine the tabloids if Random Friend was between Harry and Meghan?!), and b) the middle seat is a squeeze and I'm smaller than DH. Nothing to do with wanting to be photographed.

Mummyoflittledragon · 17/09/2024 10:24

I wasn’t clear when I posted the DM article above. What I meant was that if M did tip the press off (which is likely), the pap shot is short term gain for long term pain for H&M. Who in that circle is going to want to associate with people, who have zero respect for their safety and privacy?

FloofPaws · 17/09/2024 10:37

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 don't anyone would go! I suspect TP was strong armed into inviting H&M

Fair enough but do you have a fixed rictus grin on your face ?

There’s a better quality, slightly longer version of this video out there somewhere but I can’t find it. However, it still shows how rude Meghan was to this Wimbledon official.
In the longer version it’s clearer that the Wimbledon official is explaining something to Meghan (not Catherine who even though she’s not being addressed, still looks over and acknowledges that the lady is speaking at least).

Seems like in the photos of them attending this party that Harry is trying to film the paps? He must, must wonder - how on earth is it that these paps know their whereabouts at such crucial times? Someone has to be tipping them off. Always the same outfit - backgrid.

The vast majority of A-listers manage to move around LA and NY without being papped like this. You almost never seem papped pictures of the senior royals in the UK. Only at events.

Seem desperate to be seen with the likes of Oprah and Tyler Perry.

Gosh, she's a piece of work, isn't she?

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 😂😂

I wonder what the heck she’s laughing about, actually probably the fact she’s got prime position in the car. You can’t even see her husband which is probably adding to her glee. Even her companion (staff member?) is getting more exposure than him.

I can’t remember the lady’s name but clearly she wasn’t important enough for Meghan to even look at let alone talk to .
I remember at the time Sussex supporters saying Meghan was concentrating on the tennis however people don’t chat while play is in progress .

God she’s a prize biatch isn’t she! Mind you she can’t even be bothered to listen to a woman who was talking about her child bereavement (miscarriage maybe?) on one of her visits.

Honestly, the people on MN who can’t see what a ‘mean girl’ she is, just why, why can you not see it?

Theredfoxfliesatmidnight · 17/09/2024 11:17

In this respect I remember being quite perplexed by the relative respect H&M displayed to HMQ/PP in their statements and OW interview and H in Spare in contrast to Charles and William/Catherine.

They may have used some thin 'respectful' words but their actions were heinous - to choose to broadcast the OW interview whilst his GF, PP as in hospital on end of life care and his GM was enduring a living grief whilst her grandson tore apart her family and the instituation she worked tirelessly to build and maintain for over 70 years right up until the day she died. For him not to visit her in her failing months when he was in the country is so disingenous.

The main thing I remember about the time between Prince Phillips death and the Queen passing away was Harry publicly promising to release a second "tell all" book, but only after the Queen's death. I found that chilling, and to be quite obviously a threat. She would have died knowing that Harry was going to publish God knows what about her, knowing there was nothing she could do about it, and that possibly he would make claims that would tarnish her legacy forever.

Seriously?

Catherine and the lady were having a conversation across Meghan.

We have no idea of the context!

And now Meghan has apparently sat in a car in the wrong way?

I await the next post when she is accused of blinking her eyes in the wrong sequence!

😀😃

MummyJ12 · 17/09/2024 11:21

@Verityveritas675 she was clearly trying to explain something to Meghan.
It’s just rude to not even acknowledge or look in the lady’s direction.

MummyJ12 · 17/09/2024 11:22

Catherine didn’t respond because she wasn’t addressing Catherine but at least Catherine acknowledged that she was speaking. Because she has manners.

Serenster · 17/09/2024 11:23

I can’t remember the lady’s name but clearly she wasn’t important enough for Meghan to even look at let alone talk to .

Gill Brook. Former tennis player and wife of the Chair of the All England Lawn Tennis Club - which owns and runs Wimbledon. So, quite important in this context!

Mylovelygreendress · 17/09/2024 11:27

@Verityveritas675 if is quite clear in the longer video that Gill Brook ( thanks@Serenster ) is talking to Meghan who ignores her but Catherine realises and responds .
