Meghan Markle and Prince Harry News and Updates

Anonymous
When will Harry realize that Meghan is the story? She’s the one Oprah wants to interview. She’s the one magazines want to cover. She’s the one Netflix wants to get in bed with.

I don’t think it’s a big leap to assume the guy who was literally born as the spare to the heir is likely to not to enjoy playing second fiddle to an American faux celebrity.

So, how long until he realizes his place in the new pecking order?

Here’s the link.

Big babies.

LOL! Other than serving their own bank accounts what are these two doing?


A sight more than the Royal Family seeing as Unicef is feeding British kids these days.


Words, words. Exactly what are they doing?


I'll expand that question, what exactly is the royal family doing?


At the very least, the real royals aren’t pimping themselves out in a crass effort to make money and rub elbows with celebrities.

Additionally, they don’t whine about their lives. It’s all stiff upper lip and carry on.

I respect them for that.

You don’t know what the real royals are doing at all since the Queen lobbied parliament to shield their personal wealth. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newsweek.com/queen-elizabeth-iis-net-worth-how-she-hid-her-wealth-lobbied-government-1567462%3famp=1

The BRF has also invested millions of pounds offshore. Just because you can’t understand how they make money they way you can how someone doing an interview can be paid doesn’t mean they aren’t also pimping themselves out. I am actually super impressed how after thousands of years of claiming they are entitled by divine right to exploit the resources of people in the UK and abroad they have convinced folks they are public servants.


I know. It's kind of amazing how much they get away with their grift. And while protecting child molesters!

Before you get all high and might Harry and Meghan are using their titles, positions and connections from that very same royal family to now enrich themselves.


Their entire entitlement to grift is their connection to the royal family and their titles. It is astounding to me that they are criticizing and shaming the very institution and people on the behalf of whom the public even knows these two brats exist.

I am SO confused. These two are so stupid and self absorbed. They CHOSE to step away from their public service commitments. Now they are angry they can no longer support their charities?

Something tells me it was the BRF that gave them the boot initially.


Harry is clearly angry and bitter. Because this isn't an organization, it is his family. Family arguments and estrangements are almost by definition bitter and angry. I don't understand why people are shocked by this? Family fights, even when someone chooses to leave, contain buckets of bad feelings. And generally there is plenty of not perfect actions by people on all sides.

What I am always amazed by is this idea that it is Meghan that caused this when the core issues are clearly Harry's. Harry doesn't want to watch the media do to his wife what they did to his mother, Harry doesn't want to watch his FAMILY to do his wife what they did to his mother, Harry has clearly had issues with William, likely tied to his cheating and how that mirrors the struggles his mother faced, Harry has spent his entire life uncomfortable with royal life escaping it via the military and dating women who had no desire to be in that limelight.

Harry clearly has a lot of feelings and angst about his family and childhood and it is the opposite of shocking that when he got married and began to see the signs of history repeating that he took extreme rebellious action (as he has done his whole life) to get out of there. Meghan is perhaps the catalyst but she is not the cause.

Do they like being celebrities? I think so, I also think Harry likely has no idea how to live without some of that in the back of his mind as he's been groomed for public life since birth. But I don't see why anyone is holding that against them. They are not asking for money and they aren't asking the palace to help them with fame, they were hoping to still retain the symbolic aspects of being a 'part' of the family because this is Harry's ACTUAL FAMILY.

It is never pretty to watch people who do or who once loved each other deeply fight, and unfortunately the whole world is watching this.

I think he loves her and she is beyond beautiful and smart. She also is good at discarding people like her family. Now he essentially has not relationship with his family. His grandparents may only be alive for another year and he is nowhere to be seen. Sad that he is picking up her bad habits. She will divorced him at some point and he will be crushed.

So let me get this straight, many of you would prefer for Harry and his family, to sit around "working" for years as royals, until William and Kate ascend to the throne. Then, when William's kids are older, at which point Harry's family would have been pushed out of any position of relevancy. At that point, they would be reliant upon the goodwill of William and Kate for their mere existence. Their own personal wealth would be fairly small and they would have to look to the crown for handouts.

But somehow, that's better than using what he has, which is popularity and a title, to make his own way, forge his own path, and get some money of his own while people are interested. How is that so offensive? It's what any celebrity does, they strike while it's hot.

It makes zero sense to me that people are essentially saying that they would rather they stayed in the BRF as figureheads and basically waited around to be made irrelevant than to do what they are doing. Then those same people say it's because they are HYPOCRITES, THEY WANT TO USE THEIR FAME. Ok...and? It's the publics' fault for being willing to pay for content from certain people over others. If you're going to fault H&M for that, you should similarly fault any "famous" person for the same. It makes no sense.

Harry and Meghan have a deep PR and image problem. They are constantly putting their foot in their mouth and have made a series of very costly missteps since joining and then stepping away from the BRF. We do not know who they are on a personal level, but based on how they appear in the media, they come across as entirely unlikeable characters. I turned cold towards them when they did that documentary in Africa after meeting Nelson Mandela's widow and visiting orphanages. Instead of discussing important issues and the suffering of human lives around them, Meghan stands in front of the camera and does that fake doe-eyed pose, "No one has asked me if I am okay" and "Its not just enough to survive, you have to thrive."

There is NO charitable way to look at that supreme act of self-involvement and narcissism. On what planet did they think an entire documentary shot in Africa, focused on the whining and crying of a millionaire prince from the most famous royal family in the world and his beautiful hollywood bride was going to go over well? Tone deaf? Narcissists? How do you explain that?

Then there is the fact that both of them appear to treat their families extremely poorly. Meghan's mistreatment of her family is well documented, but the way Harry and Meghan exited the BRF is truly something else. Now that they're out, they're on a mission to badmouth and malign the image of the BRF. Meanwhile the BRF members continue to stand quietly and work on their various projects and work commitments with quiet dignity.

We also are in the middle of a global pandemic since last March. The BRF has completed multiple high profile and high impact relief efforts for the public. Meghan and Harry have meanwhile: occupied an extremely expensive mansion in the middle of Hollywoodland; made deals with media conglomerates; whined and cried about the BRF and self promoted every chance they have gotten.

Point being:

BRF: 100 Harry and Meghan: -100

He will blame her for everything.

Let’s face it: he’s not emotionally mature, and he’s had issues with booze and drugs. And, aside from military service, he never really had any responsibility.

At some point he will get bored/sad/mad and blame her for everything.

Who knows...he might pull a Katie Holmes and file for divorce once he and the kids are safely back in London.

I’ll give it 10 years.

I think he realized it when she pushed her way past him to be introduced first.

She will play up being a victim of the BRF and, later, the aggrieved ex-wife when Harry has had enough.

The Duke and Queen will pass, Charles will ascend to the throne, William will be the Prince of Wales, and Duke Harry will be a glorified SAHP while Ducbess Meghan builds her American brand while using her kids for Instagram pics and sell products during talk show interviews.

Disagree.

I suspect the Brits will develop a new respect for William and his family for their commitment to the commonwealth and contrast it with Harry’s selfish move to cut and run.

I think the British media will be even more harsh to Harry moving forward, and more charitable to William.


No. With the economic devastation wreaked by Brexit and the pandemic, and William and Kate's lack of concern for the suffering, this move looks weak. Even royalists are going to be asking what use the BRF has in a suffering Britain.


You don't like Kate's zoom calls?

The royals are not supposed to be "feeding the hungry", that's actually the job of the government. You know that but just don't care.


Wow. Let them eat cake indeed.


Said no one! Look it up Marie Antoinette did not say that!

But, will that be enough for Harry?

When will he get restless?

When will he realize he’s playing second fiddle?

How will he feel seeing Will’s kids receiving top notch educations and being photographed doing great things while his kids are surrounded by uncouth American rich kids in a wretched place like La-La-land?

Will he miss Christmas at Sandringham?

And, let’s face it: he’s not aging well. Will Meghan remain faithful? Or, will she trade up at some point?

The British Royal Family is interesting. British princes are interesting. A British prince who wants to leave the royal family and live as a commoner, doing data entry or temping or whatever, is fine but not that interesting. A British prince who wants to leave the royal family but act like a British prince in California? Nope, that's insulting. Anglophiles don't want that, Brits don't want that, and Americans don't want that.

Using her kids for instagram pics... Meanwhile, we barely have one digitized picture of Archie.

Some people just need to be completely honest, not only do they not like the Sussexes, (which is fine because no one is under any obligation to like anyone else) but they want them to fail.
