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.

She fell out with Mulroney, apparently.

I think that as long as she can manage to portray herself as a victim in some way ( the most bullied woman on the planet, stone-hearted royals refusing all contact, throwing shade at her children and leaking stories about her etc etc) she might be OK with post-Harry memoirs.

Her pretext for hanging on to her title will be because it’s for the sake of her children, whom she will insist are deeply royal and have been heartlessly shunned by the RF, Grimms’ fairytale-style.

To be fair, even if she dropped the title, either off her own bat (unlikely) or if the RF removed it (also unlikely), everyone for evermore would refer to her as Duchess.

I don't think Meghan would be able to successfully portray herself as a victim without Harry, to anyone except her die hard fans. Just reading threads here it is striking how quick posters are to blame her for Harry's behaviour, words and life choices. She would be fighting against the media's tendency to blame the woman at all times plus she would probably be fighting against what we now know is fabulous palace PR, if Harry returned to the fold post a divorce. The Sussex Squad would stay loyal but I don't think their reach is anywhere near as big as it would appear if reading twitter posts.

@BasiliskStare - reciprocal watering of window boxes?! Such goings on in your street!

Harry is the victim and she’s hanging onto that. His victimhood is based on him being trapped in a family that he has now left.

I don’t think Meghan did get what she wanted. She wanted a billionaire, she didn’t have the smarts to realise Harry wasn’t that.

But these pictures weren't taken today. They were at least 10 years ago and Meghan has always been part of the simpering hot girl image as per her suitcase girl days and skimpy BBQ and maid's outfit. Her choice.

@MrsLeonFarrell

I know what you’re saying but I strongly believe that in M’s case it’s absolutely NOT about blaming a bi-racial woman,or even a woman - it’s about identifying a rampant malignant narcissist at work!

And what an operator…

IMHO, the issue is H.

H seems to be incapable of any level of accountability. It is always someone else's fault and since his world has shrunk to M, she will inevitably be next in the line of fire. For H, everything will be M's fault with no regard for fact or reason.

Anyone willing to throw his family of origin under the bus to the extent H did, can just as easily jettison a spouse.

I suspect M is giving him enough rope to hang himself before she writes her own big "Tell All".

This is why I would never trust a person who would be so willing to trash their own family.

For sure, she will have her receipts.

Dont forget her imitation of the nodding dog ornament she was doing whilst crouched down in the front of a car in 90210, and not whilst sitting on the sill in the back.

On the subject of Jessica who was mentioned a few posts ago.

The next few years will be interesting.

MM did not achieve what she wanted - ie being the US RF, being a billionaire, being fetted by the global A list, being worshiped as Lady Bountiful.

She did however achieve much much more by meeting PH than she was on a trajectory to do, at the time, as a mid 30s, cable actress - there was a time when she had the world at her feet - people were hopeful for change, diversity, glamour in the BRF and then after the Freedom Flight the $$$$ opportunities from PRH, NF, Spotify etc and their Archewell philanthropic promise.

But they squandered it because beneath the bright eyes, shiny teeth and word salad - was not just zero talent and victim bitterness but behind closed doors (and papparently out of the sightline for PH according to Valentine Low) a very nasty and vicious bully who many dozens of people have witnessed relentlessly emotionally terrorise numerous colleagues to such a degree that they were hounded from their jobs and have needed professional intervention to address the mental injury inflicted when they were just going to work.

MM is the classic narc all about fake and hiding her flaws. It will be excrutiating for her fragile and inflated ego for these all to be revealed - I am waiting for the day when the NDAs are untangled by some US hot-shot lawyer and she is taken to a tribunal in a class action by the victims and witnesses of her abuse.

I bet she set up a special email address for him before their first date and writes him an email every night to tell him how much he loves her. And I bet she has a second special email address [email protected] that she sends an email to every night outlining his betrayals, shortcomings, and drug taking.

Both of them underestimated the cost of the portrayal of royalty, especially a generational wealth. I honestly do not think it occurred to Harry that the majority of the royal wealth is in the form of guardianship rather than cash assets. Meghan seemed to be in too much of a rush and Harry was too dim to care. This should be their golden era. I doubt they will divorce as I do think they are in love but at present it's more likely that Harry could be the one asking for a cash settlement from Meghan.

My thoughts are that she will tolerate Harry until he gets all his inheritances and while the kids are young cute and marketable, once she hits her fifties she will enter her new era of joy (just as the Wales kids start taking the attention from her) and she will move on without him then, what use is an ageing Duke with no money and who the media aren’t interested in anymore? Time for that memoir to hit the shelves!

How many reporters claim H "changed" when M came on the scene while blithely ignoring H's long track record of problematic behavior well before M came onto the scene?

M's problem is that her reputation in the public square has been defined by her own words and actions. People will read the memoir but will not believe a word of it. Photo and video evidence mattered in a world before AI gave us fake videos that seem very real.

IMHO, it will be a "he said-she said" and H has that photo of walking behind Mummy's coffin which everyone knows is real.

I am not sure if any of the inheritances would be 'liquid' - I suspect they are structured such that cash/assets are protected along the bloodline for A&L - not an inlaw - and would even be administered with clauses to avoid any foolish decisions by someone like PH. I doubt MM will benefit directly.

However her main drive is that of the grandiose and deluded narc - so there will be a moment when she discards PH - like every other single relationship in her life so far once she perceives it to have gone beyond benefit to her. She is also now a narc mother - so whoever she targets as her golden child is in for a hard time - as well as the one she sidelines as the scapegoat or the ignored.

It will be interesting to see how she handles her 'star' dimming. Do we think there any parallels with Wallis Simpson here? She sat it out indefinetly - cant see MM doing that unless she has no other options. Maybe she will do a Jerry Hall and marry a 92 year old when in her 50s?

I agree that Harry’s behaviour was problematic even before he met Meghan. The problem seems to be that she has enabled this behaviour and has made it worse by encouraging him to continue to believe in his victim narrative. She absolutely seems to display typical narc behaviour and the fact that that she is a woman does not excuse this. Harry is weak and easily manipulated and I really don’t think that under other circumstances he would have done the things he has. He is not willing to put in the work to try and understand why he feels like he does, but I don’t think that Meghan is the best influence on him by a long way

Will people believe her given her tenuous grasp of the truth ?
Also , if they divorce I would imagine that the Palace lawyers will make her agree to stringent conditions if she wants a settlement and - most importantly- retain her title .

Sadly, I think H and M have brought out the worst in each other.

I think it’s not as simple as just blaming the woman (although I totally agree that that does happen). But if Harry had been Harriet, a well liked senior royal, who had married a man and then left as H&M did, I think the husband would get a lot of criticism, and I think in that case it would have an undertone of suspicion of him being controlling to the point of abusive, and concern for the woman. To be clear, I’m not saying Meghan is abusive, I’m just talking about the narrative that might be created, and that I don’t think it would be to blame the woman in that case.

Basically I think that people are often unwilling to go back and reassess their view of someone. So instead of thinking “I guess Harry wasn’t just a cheeky happy funny guy” they think “he’s been changed by her. It’s all her fault!” But there’s no evidence of that. No one actually knew him before, or knows him now.

I think they'll stay together. They have tied themselves into this love story against the odds narrative that I'm sure they believe and can't escape.
Like Wallis and Duke of Windsor.

But I think it's going to continue to be a rocky road, feeling hard done by, unfulfilled, jealous of the RF. Preoccupied with spinning stories to be perceived as 'thriving'.

Sad, but at least they'll have each other, the children, millions of dollars and a nice garden.
So not the saddest thing ever.
