That’s the point, this was floated 3 yrs ago. Nothing is happening. It was raked up into the news to counter the negativity from being dropped by Netflix. It was done by the people who were involved by same agency.
Old news. But Harry was in DC this week to do a talk$.

I mean, the OP makes it clear that just week or two ago, Netflix spox was rebutting pp's nonsense and referring to projects Netflix currently has in development with the Sussexes. From the OP, "We still have a relationship with them,” Netflix’s Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria said last week at the Next on Netflix event when asked by Deadline about the duo’s workings with the global streamer, brushing off reports that Netflix may be “done” with them. “We have movies in development with them. We have an amazing doc with them. They have things in development on the TV and film side."

I've never understood why it's a bad thing for the Sussexes to earn their own living, as opposed to sucking on the royal teat (read: British taxpayers). Or why it's bad for Harry to give talks about things he's passionate about. Could you explain?

But sure, keep raging. You know it's bad for your health, right?

Sure. Easy for the queen to tell Meghan to dabble in stage acting like she is some sort of trustfundarian. They needed a way to make real $$. That isn't happening on the London stage. I don't really care about Harry and Meghan, but, the queen suggesting she should remain an actress was really naive.

Or she was suggesting a starting point based on Meagan's demonstrated abilities- she was already successful as an actress and she has a good work ethic. It didn't mean that was the forever plan. They had housing and support in London, she didn't need to make millions...

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?

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.

But also, PP is correct and it's irrelevant because Meghan and Harry didn't leave the UK for Meghan to avoid being a stage actress in London as the Queen requested. That's just a made up narrative.

Nobody said that's why she left London...

DP. Then why have you been going on for 2-3 pages about how the Sussexes left because the late Queen's suggestion that Meghan return to acting wouldn't have made the riches you're claiming the Sussexes wanted? When Harry and Meghan have been very clear, in Harry's book, in documentaries, and elsewhere, that they left because of the toxic press, family, and racism in London?

I think more than one person is replying to you.

DP. That question was directed, of course, at the person who has been going on for 2-3 pages about how Meghan left London because the Queen suggested she returned to acting, it's not obvious she could do theater, and the rest of that whole false narrative and deflection from the sorry tale of press toxicity and racism. No need for anyone else to answer.

You're very very angry.

I think she may have been writing to him to keep everything on paper so he couldn't make up lies about her. That's just a guess. She seemed to have lost all trust in him after the staged paparazzi photos before her wedding.

I'm sure he has a phone.

I'm not that PP but I think there are people who believe they aren't really earning their own money, but are trading on the name of the Royal Family.

This is very possible. With the Daily Mail journalist Caroline Graham at his side 24/7, it would be risky to have a phone conversation with him.

But writing a letter makes little sense in that context. If she was worried about lies then text or email make sense because she has a soft copy.

If she is writing a letter he can still say whatever he wants...claim it got lost or destroyed or whatever.

People have made copies of correspondence forever. Society functioned before email.

DP. Didn't she sue the Daily Mail, and win, for publishing her private letter to her father? I wonder if that would have a restraining effect on him, and on the Mail.

The news about their polo drama is relevant only because it flies in the teeth of all the sh!t-posting just a week ago, that Netflix had cut ties with the Sussexes in disgust. Ooops, looks like Netflix has several projects in development with them.

As you know, and despite all your hysterical-sounding hyperbole, that's really all that's going on. You sound unhinged.

I wasn’t posting there and I doubt anyone did. Babe…have you ever been on a date? You are bizarre and nucking futs.

I’ve…had sex, an education, am married, have DC and hopes and dreams. Jesus Christ, you are a loser. Go flick it to the scripted polo series of your dreams!! It’s almost like penetration.

You legit must paint a face on some sliced turkey with your Gucci Westman lipstick and call it a husband. You’re fuqin deranged over a fake celebrity to the extent of fandom. CPS is going to take your stuffies away for their safety.
