Netflix has delayed start of Meghans show

[Viviennemary]

Just seen on Sky News. Breaking News headlines. Delayed because of the wild fires didn't say if this was technical difficulties or it would be a bit crass to launch a frothy type lifestyle show with all the devastation. Anyway it might be shelved for good with any luck.

What happens then?
4)Well Meghan is a survivor, she will move on to the next husband and plan her next career move. Just like she’s done the last two decades.

Thing is, she's no longer the pretty young thing who was basically unknown and could easily charm men.

She is now 43, has two young children and a reputation for disloyalty and indiscretion, neither of which go down well with the rich and famous. Besides, how do you 'top' marriage to an actual prince? I'm not saying Harry is a 'catch' in his own right, as he certainly is not. But I can't really see what she'd have to offer to a super rich or famous man who would be a 'step up' from a Prince of the Realm.

Not to mention that remarriage would mean the loss of her Duchess title. So there's that.

Jerry Hall marrying Rupert Murdoch springs to mind.

Depends how what settlement MM would secure in a divorce - whether everthing was tied up in pre-nups and trusts and/or they just drain their own bank accounts.

MM would be the equivalent to Sarah Ferguson - not sure she feathered her nest - so the old rich man it would have to be.

She’s one of those characters though, that some seem to fall for, others see her a mile off. I still think she could find someone new relatively easily.

I can’t see long term this working out for them. I think once these court cases of Harry’s are all settled, that seems to focus is all his attention, I think he will start to feel lost. To completely upend your life- friends, family, job, home, country etc….its unsustainable long term. It was all too much. He has no one out there save Meghan and the Kids. As the kids get older, they will need him less and I think that’s the point they both realise, it was just the drama keeping them together.

She might not want to lose the duchess title and not remarry unless it’s for someone seriously rich but she won’t stick around with Harry. His royal light is fading fast. Realistically, in 10 years, George will be the Prince of Wales and William will be King. Harry will be long forgotten.

There’s (5) the Diana route: no remarriage, so retaining the title. A fashion and PR makeover, lots of high-profile romances, a “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours” deal with the press to maintain her image, celebrity friendships, charity patronages. Vanity Fair has a great (paywalled) piece about Diana’s style and persona revamp after the separation announcement, it was really considered. She hired a voice coach for public speaking, etc.

The trouble is Meghan is now on her, what, fifth rebrand? Any post-separation or post-divorce rebrand would get lost in the sea of rebrands and the fact we still don’t have a clear idea of her – you can’t rebrand if you don’t have a brand to begin with. (Plus the obvious problem that Di got palace accommodation, an allowance to run her office, security, and all the benefits of marriage to the heir, versus Meghan’s spare, but also her husband hadn’t left the Firm. Harry doesn’t have the money to run two separate households. Meghan really bit the hand that could have continued to feed her after a divorce.)

There’s also something else very significant about Diana….

I could see Harry living a more modest life (still a multi million pound apartment) in NY. He does receive some sort of police protection there too for some weird reason. So I think they could split the finances. I think Charles would put him up in the UK and he would also receive some police protection here too.

Meghan would stay where she is, she would keep the house. Harry’s made a rod for his own back though because she will insist on the same level of security. So will cost millions in security each year. Slowly all their money will be wasted on this. Year by year.

I’m thinking pre-1997 Diana, not suggesting Meghan hangs out in Paris!

I don’t think they will separate and sincerely hope they won’t. I think they genuinely love each other. No one upends their life to such a degree without it being real love imo.

Meghan will have a list of suitable billionaires.
Five more years with Harry, max. She’s done!

I know you're joking, but Meghan would never have looked twice at Harry if he wasn't a prince.

He doesn't really have much to offer if you remove the royal connections. He's not particularly attractive, he's not intelligent, he doesn't have much work ethic or any particular skills and he doesn't have much of a sense of humour. Plus he's spoiled, entitled, bitterly resentful and he's a drug user. As a human being, he's worse than mediocre. He must be bloody hard work to live with - though she must also, so they're well suited in that respect.

We don’t know how Diana’s life would have turned out. She was starting to lose favour with the public. She had been loved when she was a young innocent bride but once she started acting up, having affairs with random men and speaking her truth about life in the rf there was something of a sea change. Diana redeemed herself through death, I know that sounds brutal but it’s the truth.

And yet he feels qualified to lecture the US and wider world on issues like mental health, internet safety and free speech, and wants to be consulted at the highest levels of government and big tech, as well as receive awards for his greatness.

It's the usual contradiction of the Sussexes. They want to be simultaneously hapless victims, innocent ingenues facing up to a big scary institutional machine; and also world leaders, savants in the field of humanitarianism, and the only people in history able to comment with authority on a situation of great magnitude to wider society like the impact of the internet.

Well you would hope not, but unfortunately only one of them has really upended their life. The other one is back in their comfort zone. Harry clearly had / still had strong feelings for Meghan but I’m not convinced the feelings are 100% mutual

I think that would only possibly work @pelargoniums if she became single now or relatively soon and despite the rumours I think they will stay together whilst the children are young I can’t see it happening before the children are teenagers unless Meghan is completely mercenary and realises that she needs to strike out alone and future proof herself now, any high profile romances would probably have to be with much older very rich men. I don’t know if an ex royal in her fifties would appeal to ageist Hollywood, wrong as that is, plus despite her core very vocal fans the majority of people either are ambivalent towards her or very much dislike her, unlike Diana who despite her faults was genuinely loved by many and was also much younger than Meghan being in her thirties when she divorced and who would always be the mother to the future King, the currency Diana held was massive, Meghan just doesn’t have anything near comparable.

Want, I think you’re right. She’ll be closer to 50 if she waits.
It all depends on what happens with the Netflix show / ARO.

Would she be happy with “just” a rich man, though?
Will have to be someone high profile / boost her stock.

Whatever 'real love' means.

It was infatuation and a whirlwind romance, fuelled by a desire to fight anyone that questioned it and the pressure of Meghans age. It wasn’t love on either end.

At some point, the drama stops. The court cases stop. The press being interested stops. That’s the point that they will be left with questions of what they actually have together, outside the kids.

Billionaires can take their pick of women.

What does a 40 something with two kids and a ton of baggage have to offer them?

I do think - like the Clinton’s and now it even looks like the Obamas- that they will remain married but live separately. But unlike those couples, they will split eventually (when the kids are older)

There’s no way that Harry is spending the next 40 years of his life in Hollywood. It’s just not going to happen.

What a horribly misogynistic comment.
I think you'll find that billionaire doesn't = shallow and 40-something mum with a past doesn't = damaged goods.

Agree with is, at the moment they have a common enemy that binds them together (basically anyone or any institution that doesn’t fawn over them) once the interest wanes and it will, where does that leave them?

Not all billionaires want much younger trophy wives. Some do of course, and Meghan is well out of the running for that. Some want a genuine partner. However, the very rich also tend to be very discreet. Meghan has shown herself to be the opposite, and most billionaires wouldn't want to live in fear of the next Oprah interview. The rich also tend to marry other rich people, and relatively speaking, Meghan does not have much of her own money.

So I ask again. What does Meghan have to offer to a man who could take his pick of women?

Jerry Hall marrying Rupert Murdoch springs to mind Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos

Natalia Vodinova was married to Justin Portman now she’s married with kids to the Antoine Arnault.

Meghan is naturally pretty and has a very youthful appearance, honestly she can do better than Harry.

Meghan married Harry so fast, she definitely has a game plan. Not unlike Kim Kardashian, it’s business at the end of the day!
