If she’s the caliber of woman he should aim for, you think very poorly of Harry. |
Not maintaining the lifestyle and appearances to which she aspires. Nope. |
$3M a year isn't really 'raking' it in by Hollywood standards and Meghan's fame levels - if she chose to act - $10 million a year would be a baseline. |
It will only take her bombing one movie for that ship to sail. She will be a major draw to a film once. After that she'll have to rely on her acting skills which were never enough to warrant a leading role before. Not sure why you think she will suddenly be a better actress now. |
She's already 38. It's too late to become a hollywood star. And if she goes into acting, that's the end of any of her royal affiliation, even for Harry. I'd have a lot more respect if their goal was to move to a quiet island, have a farm, spend most of their time with themselves, kids and dogs and a close circle of friends, do some low level environmental stuff and pop back to the UK periodically for a family event like all the other royals do. But that's not what they want. And the idea that they're going to cash in on royal status to build a $100 million fortune is a bit hypocritical. Because that's exactly what it is, using the royal brand to rake in money, not saving the environment. It's what parasites do. They have a very fine line to walk between the honorable and the grifter. And Meghan should have known all this before she married Harry because whether she likes it or not, Harry is royal. But she was either unwilling, obtuse or is indeed manipulative. |
She is just having a mental breakdown. Big ego, big self-induced expectations but inability to cope with royal life (and the scheming and politics that come along with it). |
| If the British press is what sent her over the edge, I'd hate to see what will happen to her once they're exposed to the American, British and Canadian presses. You can only plant so many positive pieces on yourself (hello People!). Do they really think their press will be majority positive in every other country except for Britain after this? Seems so presumptuous. |
North American press aren't sycophants and for the most part don't even care about celebrities (except for TMZ) NYC and LA (most major US cities) are legendary for having large numbers of famous people who regular people just let go about their days. The press will request interviews through the proper channels but I don't see CNN/the Chicago Tribune/New York Times writing hateful rhetoric day-in and out like the British Royal Rota did. The British press however will have to find another focus in order to get all their money for clicks though. Good luck to the rest of the royal family back in the UK. |
But she’ll be a smaller fish in a bigger pond. Which I’m not sure is what she wants. Once they’ve attended a few events, people will be over them. Especially since I don’t believe they will be doing much work, charitable or otherwise. |
Here's the thing about being a smaller fish in a bigger pond. Meghan isn't complacent. She thrives on working with and interacting with individuals doing greater things than her. You can see it in the people she befriends (and yes - those she abandons/leaves behind). So I don't think that is a downside. In CEO culture that just encourages you to do better yourself. We'll see what the Sussexes get up to. It's only the first two weeks of 2020 and its already exciting. Looks like they'll hit 11 million followers on Instagram by the end of the month. I have to wonder how close 20 million is. |
Stepping back from public life is one thing. Intending to step back and live quietly, out of the spotlight is a legitimate desire. I wouldn’t want to live in a fishbowl. But if they intend to make $$$ via the Sussex “brand”, they will have to stay in the spotlight and will desperately need that news coverage. Seems a bit disingenuous. |
| Maybe the Royal Rota could target the deserving (Andrew), but I bet the knives will be out for Kate. |
aint that the truth |
Well, Wills kind of soft-threw her under the bus this morning. I noticed that an article specifically noted that it was the DUCHESS of Cambridge Private Secretary Christian Jones who was a source of the leaked rumors. But wills & kate share him. The paparazzi also went after her in her school runs twice today when they usually leave her alone. To think - all of this could have been avoided had those two supported their ILs facing the same thing. |
If every parent cut off their insufferable children, DC would have very few trust fund kids or inherited wealth. PP, you sound insufferable, so did your parents do what you suggest and cut you off? |
