Good questions. You’re right, Charles continues to finance pedo Andrew’s security and house. |

Maybe. But it’s fact that most (all?) of Sentebale’s board resigned in protest of Chandauka’s financial mismanagement *before* Harry and Seeiso resigned in solidarity with the board. It’s also a fact that although Chandauka tried to make it all about Harry, the British charity commission quickly threw out her claims. |

| Apparently, the idea of a scripted polo drama was first floated in late 2023. All three parties that are reportedly involved in this show – H&M, producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, and the writer Francisca X. Hu - are repped by WME. |

He's at the shabbiest of the houses, but yes, you're right. I hope it's not naive of me to think he's on his way to jail, and the Mountbatten-Windsor just consider his current situation a form of purgatory. |

Can you explain the significance of your comment? I'm not schooled in the entertainment world, but I'm interested. |

No, babe. And I’m sure I’m the first and only person to call you by what’s normally an endearment. Memoir is a tricky category at best, and the idiot’s book had the standard prelim statement saying “this is what I think but memories vary.” I hope they invite you to their premiere! You’ve earned it buddy. Babe. |

Apparently Charles is doing a massive renovation to fix up the shabby house. And Andrew's staff and security (also paid for by Charles) are mad that they're being relegated to trailers, which I get. |

Obvious lies are obvious. Have some obvious corrections. The Sentebale stuff is all very much on the public record. Sort of shameless of you to pretend it's Harry's memory from a book he published several years before the Sentebale dumpster fire. Why are you even trying that on? For the rest of you following along, it took about 10 seconds to google these links: Harry and Prince Seeiso quit Sentebale's board to protest financial mismanagement by CEO Chandauka: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/world/europe/prince-harry-resigns-charity-sentebale.html British charity commission dismisses Chandauka's accusations against Harry: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/world/europe/prince-harry-charity-sentebale.html (And LOL. You think your Babe rant is a mature(?) or witty(?) take on the standard "I have no response so I'm going to insult you" ad hominem? OK, tell the man in my life he can't call me Babe anymore. And I don't know how you do things in your family, but IMO it's actually a good thing my kids don't give me sexualized endearments. For the record, you're giving single shrew living in a Fairfax rental apartment (and absolutely no shade to the well-adjusted women in this position, just the online hateful crazies). Anyway, just know that I have tons of free time as I write my novel on my laptop, and I actually enjoy the distraction of rebutting your lies and spittle-flecked insults, so keep 'em coming!) |

Related but different, Harry was in DC yesterday to give a speech on internet privacy, and he had dinner at Charleston in Baltimore. I kind of love that he traveled an hour up I-95 to sample some of the best of local cuisine.

But that's the point -- they don't need to make millions *if* they stay on the BRF's payroll, which means playing by the family's rules and doing as told. Meghan and Harry left because they didn't want to do that. You can approve or disapprove of that decision (or, like me, feel pretty neutral about it as a personal choice of people who are not me) but it's very clear that was their reasoning. Harry was tired of his role in his family as a foot soldier serving the queen, his father, and his brother. Meghan never acclimated to the family's culture as a total outsider (American, self-made, culturally Californian) plus many members of the family, and the British public and press, never acclimated to her and yes there was absolutely some racial undertones to why. They didn't leave because the Queen wanted Meghan to continue acting and Meghan didn't want to. Meghan would have taken time off acting to have kids no matter who she was married to, most likely. They left because they were unhappy and wanted more personal freedom, and while the money from the BRF sounds great, it comes with a lot of strings. So they decided to make their own money and cut those strings. Thus a conversation about "what might have been" if Meghan had decided to pursue a career as a stage actress in England (I don't think Meghan has much if any experience working on stage, it's VERY different from film and TV acting and you really need training for stage acting especially if you want to do it in London where the expectations are stricter and there are so many classically trained actors) is pretty pointless. It's beside the point. |

Are you saying her theater degree from Northwestern is insufficient for a job in theater? |

Harry and Meghan were pretty clear that they left because the toxic British press was making their lives unbearable, and Meghan was contemplating suicide. Harry has said many times that they left Britain to protect their family. For example, when Archie was born some journalist published a cartoon of Harry and Meghan leaving the hospital with a baby ape. There's pretty solid evidence that some of the toxicity came directly from Kensington Palace (Meghan made Kate cry!), which was trading dirt on the Sussexes in return for burying stories about William's affair with Rose Hanbury. We don't really know whether Harry and Meghan would have stuck out the spare role. Speculating that they left because Meghan wanted to be an actress is just that--speculation. It also runs counter to what Harry has said many times, about the toxic British press and needing to protect his family. The Sussexes were actually quite successful at foreign tours and their charisma and work ethics seemed to overshadow Kate and William (compare to the Waleses' disastrous Caribbean tour). In fact, there's also speculation that the Waleses drove the Sussexes out because they didn't like the competition. |

No, if I read pp correctly, they're saying her theater degree is irrelevant, because acting or not acting was never the point when she was going to become a mother and the real problem was the toxic and racist environment. And I agree. |

They also said Meagan didn't have the experience. She does. |

Being a theater major 20 years ago in college is not adequate experience to do West End theater alongside classically trained actors who have been performing on stage their entire careers. Has Meghan ever done theater professionally? Obviously she has done TV acting but some actors pursuing careers will do a lot of theater even as they audition for film and television, and others do not and focus on taking classes focus on screen acting or picking up commercial work. They are very different approaches to an acting career. If you don't pursue stage work, you will not have even the basic skills to do it competently later on. It would be like majoring in psychology, doing nothing with that degree, and then trying to be a therapist 20 years later. You would have to start over. |
