I've been reading up on this deal with Netflix. Experts say it is highly unlikely that Netflix paid over $100 million--and that is is to be paid over 5 years. So, that would mean $20 million per year. And at least some of that money is back-ended, meaning in order to get paid, the content Harry and Meghan provide must do well. This is unlikely because the content the Obamas have provided has not done very well. Doubtful H&M's content would be an improvement.

The Obamas got an award for their tit. Not that that means it was good , but yanno, you'd think it might be.
Hopefully this guy is right. If the product content doesn't suit their standard then netflix have a get-out reason not to pay them.
Why is my machiavellian side thinking they've walked into a trap.

Here's a link to an archive version of the Times' Invictus story

https://archive.ph/FRJUw

The main bit:

But a starry fundraiser that the duke and duchess were to attend for the Paralympic-style competition founded by Prince Harry has been cancelled abruptly after their Netflix deal, thought to be worth $100m (£75m).
The music and comedy show was scheduled to take place next June in California, where the Sussexes now live, following the next Invictus Games at The Hague, Holland. The Hollywood Bowl had been earmarked as a venue and the event was to be streamed by Amazon, with stars including Beyoncé and Ed Sheeran in the running.
Harry and Meghan were also expected to make speeches at the event, which aimed to raise more than £1m for the foundation that runs the competition for sick and injured service personnel and veterans.

Officials at the foundation, of which Harry is patron, were “stunned” after a lawyer for the Sussexes contacted them shortly before the Netflix deal was announced last week, pulling the plug on the project, citing a “conflict” over a planned deal with a rival streaming service.

A source involved in the year-long planning said: “It’s very bad form and everyone at Invictus is gutted. Harry said yes to doing this last year and everything was still moving forwards until a few weeks ago. This was going to be a big moment for Invictus where the pot is pretty empty, and it has left them in the lurch. Harry needs to pull his finger out to find another way to raise funds for them.”

Completely agree with @Poppea that the only thing Harry was useful for was celebrity fundraising and publicity. That's still important but the best thing for Invictus would be to establish links with other famous faces - there are plenty of them who would add star-power.

This Hollywood Bowl concert was a vanity project all about building the Harkles personal brand. They were only planning to raise £1 million for Invictus - a tiny sum in the great scheme of things. Haz could achieve that with a few private fundraising dinners in The Hague during the 2021 Games. But he wants his own personal pop concert so he can hobnob with the stars, make speeches and get his face on telly. Wonder how many big names were even booked for this event - it was only 9 months away?

I suspect the fundraiser was cancelled because no one wanted to work with them.
Simples.

... and this is how you spin a story.

RICHARD KAY: Pretence is gone, Harry and Meghan have no Royal future

RICHARD KAY: A source close to the couple confirmed they were no longer receiving financial support from Harry's father, the Prince of Wales.

www.dailymail.co.uk

I presume the Frogmore story was the « game changing » embargoed one.
Also I guess it let George and Charlotte go back to school in peace.

I definitely believe that Charles has stopped funding them, as it’s Richard Kay, the Diana mouthpiece, who broke the story.

 

[Campagne]

Paula M's new video. If his family lied to take the heat off his back, or PC paid for it then he's very lucky, considering what he did to his family.

What about his trust fund inheritance? I don't know much about that. I know that if he had to use, or has used that money, it would not last long with their lifestyle.

Harry probably has someone shadypaying off his debt or Charles paid in full and final settlement. Interesting how the wording was a Harry paid and not « Meghan and Harry paid ».
Even if Harry doesn’t realise; the RF ate paving their way for the inevitable divorce ( when his title doesn’t open anymore doors) and he has to live in Frogmore, near Granny.

 

[Margo_Channing]

Let's hope harry gets an absolute bollocking from William for making money off the death of their mother with this supposed documentary

Will the real slim shadyasfuck p!ease stand up? Nah thought not

[margaretta]

I’m wondering too if Hapless and Meagain are still living in cloud cuckoo land as regards litigation. That all the newspapers will settle rather than face them in court or face huge litigation fees.
So that in theory they could make -$$$$$$ every year just by spending a minimum and slapping every media outlet with a lawsuit, thus providing them with an income.
But the Daily Mail called their bluff and the other newspapers aren’t playing ball either.

 

[kev1974]

LMAO at the Mail Online having fun with their headline this morning. If you just glanced at the main line of text and the photo you might think (hope?) it was the two of them getting divorced from each other. Naughty Mail Online

The print version is similar but not quite so harsh.

lol. if you go to the comments on that Daily Mail story, even though it is a story about Frogmore being repayed by someone (I'm not going to say by Haznoballs, as it's far from clear that it was actually him) the comments about the gruesome twosome are entirely negative. They really are hated and derided by the entire British public now, even something like repaying a £2.4m debt still attracts criticism. There really is no coming back from this for them.

Sadly not! it's a more mundane Darling Husband, Darling Child, Darling Daughter, Darling Son etc...(and I only went on Mumsnet a handful of times years ago, it puzzled me to begin with too...it was a weird place).

Best description I ever heard of that place was “it’s full of snakes, with tits”

 

[Campagne]

The same Simon Case who was, until a few weeks ago, Prince William’s Private Secretary. I think I may love him.

William has a good team. They are protecting the next heir.
I like William, but I think he fucked up, he may well have a well hidden streak of entitlement (re: women).
Part of me deep down thinks there was a thing with Rose Hanbury.
William and Kate have obviously moved beyond that and it has been cleverly and subtly hushed by PR.
I think Harry was genuinely angry and that caused the rift.
Meghan would have also leveraged that anger to get she wanted; ie move to California. (She probably leaked the story)
That may well be why Charles was effectively paying hush money to the Sussexes. (Because he is not blameless; « there were 3 of us in this marriage so it was a bit crowded« )

However, thé Sussexes have managed so many fuckups by themselves, I think they were given whatever they wanted to take the spotlight off the Sussexes.
However Rose is old news, and that story never really gained traction.
i suspect that the Sussexes will stay together. Meghan has money now and Harry is a prat, so will go along with it.
All the scandal across the pond just casts the Cambridges in a good light.

 

[Miscanthus]

This was low down in the Mail, if you're not a scroller you would have missed it.

Queen 'will pay off Prince Andrew's £6.7million debt on French chalet'

Her Majesty will end the the Duke and Duchess of York's feud with Isabelle de Rouvre, it is claimed. They are said to owe her £6.7m for the Verbier chalet sold to them for £18million in 2014.

www.dailymail.co.uk

I think we are saying the same thing?
Despite the Mail headline it states that a spokesperson for Andrew denied the Queen's involvement in the chalet debt.

Prince Harry vowed to 'stop The Crown' before series gets to him

PRINCE HARRY told those at a dinner for his charity, Sentebale, he and wife Meghan Markle had “no other option” but to step back from their roles as senior royals. Now, royal biographer Angela Levin has revealed the royal vowed to stop Netflix series The Crown before it gets to his life.

Looking at the evidence - how likely are they to be successful producers as
They have no experience and are incapable of listening to others who know better (based on evidence of their dealing with the RF) and they are tit to the people who work under them (based on the staff turnover). she is a pretty rubbish actress with not a lot of life experience no matter how much she bigs up a school project adressing gender Issues, and he has the depth of a puddle so their is little point in expecting valuable insights from him. I would also expect due to their level of entitlement that the budget would skyrocket and expect their first production to be a monumental cock up if they are involved in any way.

 

[lozenger]

This thread is hilarious. I really do hope the Harkles have to prove in High Court, that that bag of rags strapped to her chest on her Canada 'papped' dog walk is indeed a real-life baby, complete with string tied round her neck, who has a right to privacy. And her two useless 'bodyguards' following on their phones!. She's beaming her psycho smile straight at the paps.
