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.

When I saw the headline on the physical newspaper on the supermarket shelf, I did have a little chuckle. It is just so daft, suggesting that H is doing them a favour by sharing his diary.

😂"Harry's Diary" really?
I'm just wondering what would be in there apart from time on the X Box, juggling, watching cartoons and having a spliff? 😂

What next? Katie Price synchronising diaries with the Palace to avoid a clash? honestly why don’t the Palace send him off with a flea in his his ear rather than pandering and humouring him all the god damn time, there is absolutely no need for our Head of State to know Meghan is going to release a video of her twerking and grinding, someone in power needs to tell him as he has clearly forgotten that he is not a working member of the Royal family and has no standing in representing our country and government, tattoo it on his forehead if necessary, the Palace really need to stop this nonsense I’m getting pretty fed up of their inaction.

At risk of coming over as a Victorian prude…

The day Meghan released that video of her twerking was the day she slammed the door on any serious claim to being even ‘royal adjacent’.

It’s not about prudery - it’s about dignity and what should remain intimate and private. Even in 2025 I don’t think there’s any way the RF could have anything to do with a couple who show this much of their intimate lives to the world. I don’t know what she/they was/were thinking.

BigWillyLittleTodger · 27/07/2025 15:05

I agree @CoffeeCantata and I think sometimes Victorian prude values can be a good thing! It was so completely undignified and made me come over all queasy 🤢.

I agree with you absolutely @coffeecantata. It is rare for me to be shocked but the tweaking video did shock me, and made me wonder if I am prudish after all.

Yes - it was just ‘too much information’ for me, and that’s how I felt - queasy.

Their misjudgment is off the scale.

Let’s not forget Harry too! , like we needed him thrusting and highlighting his groin after his comments in spare!

Puzzledandpissedoff · 27/07/2025 15:18

It is yet another example of Harry's complete failure to accept that his status has changed. Working royals try to avoid clashes , those on the periphery don't. Harry is the latter but thinks he is the former

Well put as ever, @MrsLeonFarrell, but I'm not sure if anyone's yet mentioned the criticism H&M have taken for constantly hijacking royal events with some silly stunt

Maybe the "Let's share the diaries" is an attempt to deflect this, as in "We could have avoided it if they'd only told us!!"

And yes, I realise that birthdays, Trooping the Colour, Remembrance Day and so many others fixed points which even Harry might be aware of, but since when did the facts interrupt his silly excuses and constant claims about everything all being someone else's fault

... like we needed him thrusting and highlighting his groin after his comments in spare!

Edited to add don't go there, @jeffgoldblum - please don't go there Confused
As mentioned before, between the frostbite, circumcision stories, accounts of losing his virginity and more Harry seems to have an almost infantile obsession with his groin area, and I'd have thought we'd already heard enough about it without thrusting fingers pointing it out

H is preaching to the choir. No-one outside the superfans believes that H has a diary filled with "official" engagements.

This is one of the many missteps H's American PR is making, as everyone who matters (e.g. Entertainment Company CEOs, Political players like the Clintons and Obamas and Billionaires (Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg et al) knows that H's diary cannot have "official" engagements as H represents nothing but himself.

Unfortunately, H's PR comes across as delusional and disconnected from reality.

NormaMajors1992coat · 27/07/2025 15:36

Meredith is doing her best, bless her. It’s not her fault that she has nothing to work with 😬

A whole article on Harry pretending anyone in the RF cares what his plans are, and another which says that the second season of WLM is both the first show to come out of the imaginary new deal with Netflix, and also that it’s already been made before the new deal exists 🤪🤪

It's for the clicks. That's how it works.

Yup and people fall for it, a no news nonsense articles over and over regardless of who its about, Wales, Sussexs, Charles etc. People fall for it everytime

I think the main thing that was shocking about the twerking video wasn’t the content. It was the fact that they thought it was an appropriate thing to release firstly, at all, and secondly, on their daughter’s birthday 🤷‍♀️

IMHO, the media is fairly agnostic as to which member of the RF it attacks, as long as the attacks result in clicks. Family drama is far easier to understand than the nuances of constitutional questions and everyone has their share of dramatic relatives so the W&C vs. H&M is an easy story to sell from the media's POV.

TBH, even before M arrived on scene, attacking W&C was always a popular sport for the media with the positive press in 2013-2016 being more of an aberration than the norm if you look over press coverage from 2003 to 2023

The Facebook hearings in the US were very eye-opening as to how Facebook pioneered and then other social media entities followed in the clicks for rage business model, as they found that anger drives engagement.

Facebook whistleblower says company incentivizes "angry, polarizing, divisive content"

Here are 4 key points from the Facebook whistleblower's testimony on Capitol Hill

Yup and here we have again one of those sources 🙄 saying he wants to share his diary and well as we can these usuals lapping it all up like its true...funny how when its sources used in articles.of other royals they are also quick to say what a ridiculous article.

As you said they don't care they want the clicks and they know how to play the public to get them

Jeff, believe me I have made superhuman efforts to try to forget Harry cradling his genitals in front of the camera in that nightmarish video. I can’t unsee it.

If I thought therapy could erase it I’d happily pay up!🤣🤮😖

jeffgoldblum · 27/07/2025 15:47

Apologies @Puzzledandpissedoffand @DelectableMe! I really didn’t want to go there either! 🤮 but on this one occasion felt that Meghan didn’t deserve to be the only one criticised.

They clearly know zilch about children. You don’t need to be Dr Spock to predict how it will go down with poor Lili if they show it to her as a teenager…

Oh no, her performance was excruciating enough, but his was right in front of the camera at crotch level 🤢.
Imagine being so desperate for headlines!

It’s not about being a prude or having traditional values — it’s about having a bit of grace, dignity, and self-respect. Some celebrities seem happy to put absolutely anything out there for attention, no matter how cringe it is. I’m sure Catherine’s had a dance and a giggle after a couple of glasses of wine like the rest of us — but she’s not filming it and uploading it for millions to watch.

You wouldn’t catch Keira Knightley, Nicole Kidman, or Natalie Portman doing that either. They’ve always come across as elegant, self-possessed, and private. They don’t need to shout about every detail of their lives or turn it all into content. That, to me, is the difference between celebrity and royalty.

Keira, Nicole, Natalie — I can actually picture any of them slipping into royal life quite naturally. They’ve got that fairy-tale grace about them. It’s why Grace Kelly made the transition so beautifully. And Sophie Winkleman’s another good example — she’s always carried herself with class and seems to have slotted into royal life without fuss or fanfare.

Meghan, on the other hand…she just doesn’t have it!

Once I'd got over the shock, my next thought was for the children. Poor Archie and Lili, who when older will almost certainly watch it.
