The theory seems to be (source Neil Sean) that the producer is taking a gamble, paying to secure her because he knows Meghan is controversial and that the show will attract lots of attention as a result.

HAM are desperate, though. The sorry truth is she’d probably have done it for a tenner just to get something in the diary 😁

Absolutely. If Harry writes another book, he needs to call it “Sparse” 🤪

🤣

A huge gamble. Assume this deal signed before allegations about her father?

Also the RF took away her purse and made her close her bank account

So sad that she was forced to bill Charles for the $1 million she spent on her wardrobe between 2017 and 2019 😂

Well , in a very understated way , H , after Oprah , The docuseries , Spare , and other interviews and leaks , what exactly did you think was going to happen.
And H , the beauty of your brother's position is , he needs to do absolutely nothing. Perhaps check out the RF popularity polls, H, by individuals (exercise for the student) . 😊

But don’t you remember - he was just waiting for an apology from the RF and H would magnanimously forgive them…

Harry shocked that William hasn't made contact apparently. "Wretchedly unpleasant "

Dear God. The man has the self awareness and IQ of parsley.

That's not a nice thing to say .... about parsley

Anyone in the RF will be aware that any conversation or interaction with Harry or Meghan is likely to be monetised through being included in a future book, interview or TV programme.

On past record they also know that M and H need to sustain their victim status and will be looking to take offence at anything they can find for the purpose.

When they sat down with Oprah they did something irreversible and they still don’t seem to get it.

It is the still don't seem to get it bit that is IMHO doing damage (among all the other shit) now.

It is like they don't see how not-on that was. In any family, let alone the most exposed-to-public family in the world.

The herb. I have no knowledge about Parsley the lion.

So much more hair than Harry

What half a million? Is it really that big in Australia, that is huge money

The kind of gamble that gets people fired if viewing figues tank.

I was at school in 1968 so never saw Parsley. I was more a Magic Roundabout girl, anyway.

You may have missed the original series but the Adventures of Parsley aired in the same slot as Magic Roundabout - five to six - before the news

I think this producer has been Markled. Already a huge backlash about the decision to involve her

Given that there’s already a petition to have her removed from the programme, it’s not a gamble I’d take, personally.

niceorangecarrot · 02/11/2026 22:42

Parsley the Lion was a character in The Herbs, an animation by Michael Bond, who wrote Paddington. All the characters had herb names. I used to like Dill the Dog!
They introduced themselves with songs.

The distrust is amplified by the risk of concealed recording devices, a photographer turning up with them, and phone calls being recorded. HAM's day has been and gone when it comes to family, I think.

All incredibly hypocritical of H

The rumoured light-fingeredness. Made more credible by accounts of her e.g. keeping dresses since 2020.

Well based on her knowledge of an alleged csa abuser roaming free it might spark a boycott amongst parents & ratings tank...

Boxes belonging to Ian Wace's ex-wife are rumoured to have vanished from the borrowed house when they had to flee from it.

Nicking stuff is OK though, because Queen Mary did it. It's how royals behave, isn't it?

Might the 500k being touted for Masterchef be Aus dollars so roughly £250k

And also questions being raised about who is going to pay for her security.

With people unhappy at thenidea of taxpayer money being used to provide security to allow a much-disliked figure to earn a big payday on a TV show.

Could be. It's still a lot for a few weeks work.

3peassuit · 02/11/2026 22:53

I don’t think Queen Mary actually nicked stuff. Her method was to admire a thing which obliged the owner to give it to her.

AcrossthePond55 · 02/11/2026 22:53

Per a link upthread; if H has actually authorized an 'unnamed friend' to leak that he is worried about his relationship with his family and its impact on his financial future he really must be getting desperate.

Next I picture them going to Buckingham Palace in rags and tatters and them having A&L sit with begging bowls at the gate as H wrings his hands and cries out "O Father, dear Father, wilt thou letteth thy grandchildren starve?". M will have her 'sad eyes' encircled in black and let a tear roll down, making a track through the smudges of dirt (artfully placed) on her cheek.

Hey, at least she's working. What's her useless hubby doing? "Helping people" 🙄 is what he tells his son
