Netflix deal is over

• Both decided a statement won’t be released “Publicly, there will not be a statement and of course, if things change dramatically, they’d be open to a one-off project down the line.”
• Talk about Paramount plus

It’s been pretty obvious for a while. No talk about the Archewell productions arm, the film they were making etc.

How long can As ever last when they won’t have NF to back it up with WLM infomercials.

There's been a bit of talk around them signing up with Paramount, would they have signed a first look deal with Netflix if this were the case , can the have the 2 contracts running at the same time?

@Weepixiesorry I didn’t mean any disrespect to Kenya specifically. I just fret about carrying jewellery when I am on holiday or travelling. It annoys my husband because I won’t take anything very expensive or sentimental on holiday and he says what’s the point of buying me anything nice !!

sorry I didn’t mean any disrespect to Kenya specifically.

No no no!!!!! I’m sorry, the thought didn’t even enter my head. But it must have sounded like that to you and I apologise. I have a splitting headache today and maybe didn’t come across nicely.

I just commented on it because Kenya has a huge place in my heart and some of my children married there so I’ve seen what love can do to people when they’re there. 😆😆😆

Very well put @EmpressSisi , I agree!

Aaw that’s lovely. I wish I could visit Kenya or one of its neighbouring countries. I had no interest until last year when my auntie showed me some videos she had taken when she had visited in East Africa when she was with the UN. It’s such a privilege to be able to visit that part of the world.

Aw I didn't realize that William proposed to Kate on holiday. (I was ignoring him during that period as hadn't quite come to terms with his not wanting to marry me). For that occasion I could imagine him carrying the ring around (or at least one of his security) I would imagine that anything on the body of the second in line is pretty well protected at all times from theft. Just have to hope it was well secured so he didn't loose it.

@JSMill this is off topic but….

from the time I was a little girl my heart was in Kenya and I wanted to live there one day. I think it was the influence the RC church had in my life but it could equally have been Daktari. 🤣

Fast forward years and I met my husband who’s not a Kenyan, he’s Arab, but lo and behold he’d been brought up in Kenya. Oman has a history on the East Coast of Africa as well as a few other countries and here I am living my life with Kenya (and Tanzania) a huge part of me. I never thought one day I’d have a tri-lingual husband, children and grandchildren as well as a huge extended family/friends/community around me who speak Swahili and make me feel as if my childhood dream came true. Even after all these years I still get emotional when I go home to Mombassa. Anywhere in Kenya actually.

It’s funny how things work out.

Your aunty must be quite some woman to have worked for the UN and I hope you get to Kenya one day.

I loved Daktari! Clarence the cross eyed lion !

Yes ! , I’m sure a refurbishment would happen immediately if others were paying for it!!!
perhaps that’s what Harry meant by being cut off ?
no longer are others paying to upgrade his houses !
in my opinion this seems to be a Harry being tight with the purse strings type of thing , I believe Meghan would definitely want to upgrade and buy new , but harry obviously sees it as a waste of money.

Harry doesn't want to spend all his millions. He said so in one of his ghastly, whinging interviews. He expects KC to subsidise him ad infinitum. Such entitlement.

I've got a list of refurbishments that I'd like doing and would have them done tomorrow if someone else was paying. Unfortunately, no one has offered, so it remains a list!

@Profhilodisaster I thought I’d mentioned Clarence because I certainly thought about him when writing the post.

We all know those copper pans have never been used, they are purely decorative, not used by the previous owner and not used by Meghan.

she uses cream ( beige) le creuset pans .
and yes some will like the “country” kitchen look of her kitchen but most of us can tell from previous pictures and media that it’s not Meghans taste.

SouthPark is moving to Paramount. Maybe H&M have a cameo in the new series?!

Hard to see how that would work.

Paramount would have little interest in a deal that means they only get access to projects turned down by Netflix.

And Netflix would get nothing in an exclusive production deal with Paramount.

Given the commercial clout they both bring to negotiations, it’s hard to see anything for them in this kind of deal.

Agree. And no doubt H&M would be making a grand announcement if there was a deal with Paramount. NF and Spotify have officially binned her. As I suspect have Lemonada - except we had have the 'I wont be doing anymore podcasts as I need to concentrate on my business' fig-leaf. How would she have time for Paramount projects if she doesnt have time for podcasts?

Also I understood that H&M announced some time back that they were separating their work streams? So the Paramount thing I would suggest would only be for MM as PH clearly has zero interest or talent in media?

However I do believe that there are a few eg OW, TS etc who continue to keep their investment warm as they want first dips on the divorce interview - sadly the grandiose and deluded MM thinks they are her 'friends' whilst the reality is that she is just another transactional commodity for their bottom line.

Yes - I think it’s just starting to dawn on Harry that the huge decision he made so impulsively 5 years ago has enormous consequences for his children. They won’t be royal and that way of life will be closed to them. Although he whinged about it, he likes it really - the boring old grey suits do all the grind, he just turns up in a smart Sui and gets the adoration, then back to the palace. He’s realising they won’t have that option, which is all he knows.

And I don’t think the Sussex kids could choose it for themselves. The British public might accept George, Charlotte and Louis doing engagements because they’ve watched them grow up and train for the role. It’s not the same to have 2 strangers parachute in fully grown!

Oh absolutely!

The irony…

I feel really angry when I think of what’s been inflicted on all the Wales family on the basis of lies and malicious spinning of what was most likely an innocent conversation between H and his father.

For anyone interested in the interiors (and exteriors):

I was quite struck by how castley it all looks...

Harry could cough up more sensational stuff about his family for Vol 2 of Spare, but I imagine he’s very reluctant to do this, not out of any moral considerations but because it would slam the door for ever in terms of any leverage with the royals in future.

And presumably, hurt his public image even more.

So a strange article in the DM.

Seemingly theres been poor sales of the As ever rose. That it was a small batch that sold out in an hour but NF doesn’t think it has a mass market appeal. The DM have linked that with not renewing the NF contract but I don’t think this would have had an impact to be honest. I think it was over anyway.

What’s going on? Is As ever all over too?

I think he'd do a Spare 2 in an instant if the money was right.

That said there are reports PRH got their fingers burnt so I think any deal would be with a smaller publisher offering far less lavish terms which would basically bring about the same result (ie no book) but by a different set of considerations.

From the DM:

‘Commenting on As Ever's claims the wine sold out in an hour, the source added: 'It's small batch' - meaning it was only ever produced in a small quantity.
Netflix believes the launch has shown that 'there isn't a demand for her wine from a mass market point of view' and this means a bigger and more lucrative supermarket or department store deal is 'unlikely', the source claimed.’

I mean NF will have all the metrics-

How many watched the episodes?, did they watch it all the way through?, did they make it to Ep 8?, where are they watching it? who was watching it ? ( shamefully I’m included in those numbers 😂)

And how this had translated into sales of the As ever products. What the percentage of the audience that buys this stuff?, where in the US are they buying? how much stock they can shift?

Im guessing they’ve looked at the numbers and they aren’t happy. Is this why she’s gone quiet on insta?
