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.

Just had a Google. Harry did an interview in 2017 where he said he had wanted to leave the family for years. I can't find the interview but it's referenced I think in Spare as well?

Yes - there have been a few shifts of emphasis and other changes of direction for them recently. I don't know if Meghan can still position herself as a philanthropist - she seems to have given up on that and put all her (flower-sprinkled) eggs in the basket of entrepreneurism.

Was the plan a few months ago to give Harry all the charity work? If so, things are not looking good with the scandals at African Parks and Sentebale and the problems with Invictus.

I agree with your view of Harry but I will say this for him: silly, dim, entitled twit that he seems to be, I do think he's more of a people person than Meghan. Whether it's his upbringing or his nature, he does do meeting and greeting and interacting, especially with children, very well and genuinely seems to enjoy it. I find Meghan's interactions with 'ordinary people', and again, especially children, excruciating to watch - she just cannot summon the interest in them to conduct even a couple of minutes of conversation.

There's a video from Invictus where H is getting down to organising games for the children and she is following him around, fussing and trying to grab his hand and dragging him away once she manages to get a purchase on him!!! And that's one of many examples I've seen where she shows her utter hopelessness at engaging with members of the public on any level at all.

Agree. I find his inability to shake her off and her he’s busy nauseating. How can he adore her the way he does when she is so patently self interested and downright rude? He’s so, so weak.

He has also claimed that he and his brother weren’t ever close. Whereas, Harry lived with William and Catherine for a while. I don’t believe a word that man says (or gets others to write).

He certainly seems to have an interesting relationship with facts. He reminds me of the way small children are sometimes unreliable narrators.

He certainly used to do a lot of engagements with William and Catherine and probably felt a bit side lined when they started their own family. Someone with a healthier attitude would have expected it and adapted whereas he seems offended he didn't come first anymore.

I'm actually not sure, I do know it can acerbate existing mental health issues. I do feel sorry for him but he had every material advantage and can access anything money can buy so my sympathy is limited.

HonoriaBulstrode · 30/07/2025 17:32

he definitely didn't enjoy royal life and absolutely hated the press way before Meghan appeared.

He could have stepped back from public life if he had wanted. The Duchess of Kent did it years ago, with no fuss. But he'd have had nothing to occupy himself with. What he needed, and still needs, was a proper 9-5 job, to give him something other than his own grievances to think about.

DelectableMe · 30/07/2025 17:39

He was just too lazy. He said they made him go on a tour when he was "tired". I strongly suspect that, unlike other members of the RF, he wasn't prepared to do his homework.

Mullingar · 30/07/2025 17:48

He spoke some disingenuous shit (ie lies) in his recent interview when he said he had given 35 years of his life to service!!!

So he is counting from the day he was born until Jan 2020......🙄

He only left the army in June 2015 and would only have started as a working member of the royal family sometime after that (no idea when - probs had a nice long holiday/sabattical) - then he flounced off again barely 4 years later.

The 4 years he contributed service by being a working member of the RF were by all accounts hellish and chaotic for those had to work with them both. Dont know how many royal engagements he did in those 4 short years - cant have been many more than MM.

HonoriaBulstrode · 30/07/2025 17:49

He said they made him go on a tour when he was "tired".

Probably the vast majority of the people who read Spare or his interviews have had to get up and go to work sometimes when they've felt tired, or had a hangover headache or a bit of a cold. That's what responsible adults do.

He has no idea, has he? Nor the good sense not to complain about it, like the smaller room in whatever palace or castle he lived in.

Harry stayed at the Middleton’s several times with William, which makes his annd Meghan’s attacks on Catherine in particular extremely tasteless.

i think, of all their victims, Catherine is the one who should never have to be anywhere near either of them ever again.

What they’ve put that woman through is unforgivable.

AtIusvue · 30/07/2025 18:48

This article makes no sense. It says Meg n Harry are getting a first look deal from NF worth 65 million. Same as the Obamas. Seems to be a clapback at the rumours theyre broke. But the Obamas by the end of their 5 year deal, had multiple hits across many genres- film, kids animation and documentaries. A good number of the documentaries won awards. Meg n Harry have produced nothing of note and haven’t brought the eyeballs in.

It then goes on to say that the running costs of Archewell productions (which was 2.25 million) was funded by NF but is now no more.

  • Well how the hell can they put together ideas etc for a first look deal, if they haven’t got a bloody productions team anymore?!!!!. So that’s bull

Also, Meg is to be offered a third series of WLM ‘if she wants it’, that there are to be seasonal shows around thanksgiving, Xmas etc to be announced in September.

  • Not sure If I believe the third series guff and additional shows. They would have to be filming them right now to be able to get anything out on time. If she was filming, the PR would let us know all about it .

Interesting info on just how small As ever is though

‘That’s not entirely good news for Brand Meghan, though. Lauren Sherman of news site Puck describes the business as ‘excruciatingly small’ and adds: ‘Sure, stuff sold out, but that was because they didn’t make a lot of it.’
She adds: ‘I’ve never understood why Markle, who legitimately moves product when she wears or endorses something, didn’t team up with a licensing firm, Foster sisters-style, or go ahead and raise capital from her inner Montecito circle to start a Goop-style business. (With the knowledge of where Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop brand succeeded and failed, of course.) And perhaps she’ll still do something of the sort.
‘But there are a few things holding her back. First, she is terribly polarizing, even more so than Gwyneth. A lot of people who might buy a sweater Markle is wearing from J.Crew or La Ligne would be embarrassed to serve a bottle of her wine at a dinner party.’

I agree with the last point made, who on earth, apart from the superfans, would dare serve an As ever product to family or friends. It just wouldn’t happen. But I think it’s small because it’s just an experiment for NF. Not that Meg realises yet.

I think what there might be, is two episodes which are a part of season 2 WLM, dedicated to thanksgiving and Xmas. The series comes out in Sept so ties in with the timing.

So pecan pie with flower sprinkles for thanksgiving and a red and green charcuterie fruit board for Xmas it is then!

Absolutely. To think that he once referred to her as a "sister". Horrible.

He did an interview, I think it was on tv, where he mentioned wanting to leave. I don't think he would have left without someone else giving him a push but he definitely didn't enjoy royal life and absolutely hated the press way before Meghan appeared.

Now let me guess…which aspects of royal life did he dislike?

Could it be: huge budgets and never having to think about money? Unlimited luxury travel? Polo whenever he felt like it? The glamour and all the attention from women? Deference from ordinary mortals? The licence to punch his security men and the drummer of Foo Fighters with no consequences?

Or was it possibly having sometimes to do things he’d rather not do? Having to follow instructions and obey rules laid down by men in suits? Not being the heir?

Hmmm…let me think…

I suggest "season 3" thanksgiving and Christmas was already filmed in April 2024 - same as "season 2" was a fimed in April 2024.
