It was a fun article, sort of all over the place with juicy details. The end paragraph was brutal.

So he quit the toxic royal family and she figured out how to monetize the situation. What’s so wrong about that? They are in love and have beautiful children and seem happy.

That’s not what the article you didn’t ready says.

I wonder how he feels hearing she was shopping around a post-divorce book. I’m sure she’s gaslighting him and telling him it did not happen. She needs him by her side as she launches her new Netflix show. If it’s successful, she’ll stick with him until she’s cemented herself as a lifestyle influencer. If the show is not successful, and I predict it has mediocre success at best, I see the end of their marriage within two years. At that time, she’ll sell a tell-all book that totally throws Harry under the bus.

Its a long article but I thought this was interesting:
The source who worked in media projects says Meghan’s own relationships with employees tended to follow a familiar pattern. She would be warm and effusive at the beginning, engendering an atmosphere of professional camaraderie. When something went poorly, often due to Meghan and Harry’s own demands—such as a teaser for Archetypes being released five months before the show premiered and before there was any tape to promote—Meghan would become cold and withholding toward the person she perceived to be responsible. The source says it was “really, really, really awful. Very painful. Because she’s constantly playing checkers—I’m not even going to say chess—but she’s just very aware of where everybody is on her board. And when you are not in, you are to be thrown to the wolves at any given moment.” In practice, they say, that manifested as “undermining. It’s talking behind your back. It’s gnawing at your sense of self. Really, like, Mean Girls teenager.” Marie had a different experience with Meghan: “She’s just a lovely, genuine person,” she said.

The person who worked in media projects read stories in the tabloids about Meghan “bullying” palace aides and couldn’t imagine such behavior actually happened. After working with her, though, this person realized, “Oh, any given Tuesday this happened.” While it beggars belief that Meghan actually shouted at a palace aide, as has been reported, a person who interacted with her professionally says, “You can be yelled at even if somebody doesn’t raise their voice. [It’s] funny that people don’t differentiate between the energy of being yelled at and literally somebody screaming at you.”

Here's the last paragraph for those who can't be bothered to read:

If Harry’s burden is the soft oppression of no expectations, Meghan’s might be the opposite: the betrayal of not living up to an unachievable ideal. “I think the whole world was waiting for her to be that person, and then she never jumped,” the source who worked in media says. “Diana walked amongst land mines. Meghan couldn’t even say the word slut.”

Ok. I scanned through the long VF piece. I thought it was all over the place and it was difficult to understand what it was really saying or trying to tell us. If I take anything away from it, it's that Meghan and Harry are two clueless people who really don't know what they're doing and have no idea what to do so they fill their lives with half-baked beliefs and projects that go nowhere.

I'm not going to read this article, but these paragraphs are insane. Translation:

Meghan was really nice to, oh let's call her Anon, until Anon royally screwed something up. And then she was not quite as nice, but Anon was insanely jealous of the attention that non screwups got. And Meghan, like many other bosses the world over, has an awareness of her employees, their performance, presumably their presence, which Anon perceives as calculating and cold, and also bullying.

Also, Meghan yells without raising her voice (pretty sure that's a U2 lyric) but it's like being screamed it.

Anon sounds insane.

Harry and Meghan: We are leaving royal life for our privacy and our family. Leave us alone!
Also Harry and Meghan: Have you seen my tell all…Netflix Special, Oprah interview, book or bought some of my jam, seen my kids on the cover of People and watched “With Love, Meghan”” (oh the irony)

And then blame others around them for the failures instead of looking inward.
