Spotify dropped Harry and Markle

I lived in the UK for a number of years and the press used to love him. He was the naughty, cute brother. It is alarming how much that has changed. I think there is no way back for him, no matter what. I hope he finds another path.

Well, no-one knew who shallow and petty he was until he unwisely decided to share his 'deepest' thoughts.

This isn’t new. He’s publicly bashed the Sussexes before, in the same vein.

Don’t they already have at least $30 million from Harry’s inheritance alone? They’ll be fine.

Well, today is the Trooping the Color in London. Her pattern is to do a pap walk or publish photos when there is something big going on with the Royal Family.

Yup. Its a pattern.

I’m not a MM fan but can’t the girl just take a walk?

The photogs are Backgrid, the pap company you call in advance for a "hot tip"

They don't live like you would on $30M. A normal person could make that last a lifetime. These are not normal people. They have likely burned through a considerable amount already.

They're so boring, the threads discussing them now reflect that.

+1 Look how she described her dad's family. Like it or not, she's a close relative. Same gene pool.

One way or another she thought her marriage meant an endless gravy train, didn't anticipate their brand tarnishing so soon.

Who?

NP, here's the link:

Lol- not just grifters- f’ing grifters.

He sounds drunk.
They still have other ventures. Netflix etc.
I don’t like them either but people really enjoy piling on them.
I do think they need to put a lid on the complaining of the RF and expand. She could easily do a home decor or style show and people would watch. He could do a show about English idioms, that competition thingy he started and people would watch.

What makes her qualified to host a home decor or style show? This suggestion is exactly their problem. Just because she's famous because of who she married doesn't mean she has the skills or charm for anything.

Sure a girl can. And if she just wants to take a walk then she shouldn't call her regular paps to photograph her.

Their problem is that they didn't put in the years as a senior royal couple to build a solid reputation in charitable work or fashion like Diana did. They have been making their money off of bashing his family and the media yet expect people to have a positive view of them. Harry will churn out more books on his grievances and Meghan will find other outlets besides Spotify to talk about herself.

Gently laughing that Bill Simmons is just the Spotify guy on this board - he’s huuuge in sports media. Created 30 for 30, had a wildly popular ESPN column, 2 NYT best selling books, created Grantland and The Ringer, top 10 podcast.

No celebrity wanted to be associated with them. And it turns out it wasn't so much a discussion with MM -- just her monologing and splicing the celeb being interviewed by a producer

Yep, their lack of professionalism means no real celebrity wants to work with them.

She needs to develop a thicker skin and a sense of humor if she hopes to continue interviewing the A-list. Her overreaction to Mariah Carey's referring to her as a diva revealed her deep insecurities.
