That isn't a play date. That is a woman holding a baby like a sack of flour in the vicinity of children.

Archie looked like a two month-old baby who needed to be held by someone who actually knew how to hold an infant.George and Charlotte were busy having their own fun. The only Cambridge kid who showed any interest in Archie was Louis, who is one of those blessed children who loves everyone and everything.

Revision of history to feed the beast.

Yep, damage control from Harry's fallout. Detract and deflect, put the spotlight back on Meghan.

I don't think it's damage control. Meghan couldn't care less about Harry's memoir. Her narcissism needed feeding, is all.

'Meghan thinks he's up there with President Obama!'

Posted by Susan T on January 23, 2023, 3:19 pm, in reply to "January 23 - Sussex Thread"

An entertainment industry insider tells DailyMail.com that the Duchess and her team think Harry is a 'shoo-in' to win the Grammy for Best Spoken Word (Best Audiobook, Narration & Storytelling Recording) for the audiobook of his memoir Spare at next year's ceremony.

'He's a natural storyteller, has a soothing voice and even sings on the audio version,' the source says.

At one point in the audiobook, Harry sings a verse of Elton John's Your Song when discussing the tribute concert for the 10th anniversary of Princess Diana's death.

'It was Harry's decision to sing Elton John's song in the audiobook. Who knew he could sing? Meghan thinks he's up there with President Obama, who won the same award a few years back,' the source adds.

Harry ain't even in the same ballpark as Obama. Obama is a polished and skilled orator with strong communication abilities. His voice has warmth and depth. Harry can pronounce words of more than two syllables if he concentrates, has no vocal skills, and can't convey emotion if his life depended on it.His voice is more pleasant than that of his wife, but that's not saying much.

Oh Lord, my laugh for the day! No comparison to Barack Obama, Meghan is no comparison to Michelle either. They want to be the Obamas so much, it's pathetic.

Spotify Boss Who Signed On Harry And Meghan Quits

Posted by karenl on January 23, 2023, 7:26 pm, in reply to "Re: 'Meghan thinks he's up there with President Obama!'"

"According to chief executive Daniel Ek, Dawn Ostroff, whom is the streaming company's chief content and advertising officer, has "decided to depart Spotify".

The news of Ms Ostroff's exit comes as the Stockholm-headquartered company confirmed that around 600 people would lose their jobs.

In a blog post, Mr Elk wrote: "In hindsight, I was too ambitious in investing ahead of our revenue growth."

Ms Ostroff was responsible for the streaming service's investment in podcasting"

"..She signed up the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's "Archetypes" series in a deal with the couple’s production business Archewell Audio.

As well as this, she also oversaw an exclusive tie up to bring popular comedian and podcast host Joe Rogan to the platform.

Spotify spent an estimated $1billion on exclusivity deals and acquisitions, including production company Gimlet, all with Ms Ostroff’s guidance.

However, amid mounting losses, investors have started to question the cost of the strategy."

OT: Reed Hastings Steps Down From Netflix

Posted by karenl on January 23, 2023, 7:34 pm, in reply to "Spotify Boss Who Signed On Harry And Meghan Quits"

Ted Sarandos will be taking over. I don't see Harry and Meghan getting kicked out since they're such good "friends" with Sarandos..unless they continue to lag around with producing content and Netflix loses big money off of them.

Liz Garbus claims the royals are trying to 'discredit' Netflix's Harry & Meghan

Posted by Susan T on January 24, 2023, 6:50 pm, in reply to "January 23 - Sussex Thread"

The director of Harry and Meghan's Netflix docuseries claims Buckingham Palace tried to 'discredit' the couple's bombshell allegations by claiming the filmmakers did not contact the royals for comment.

Director Liz Garbus, in an interview with Vanity Fair, claims the Palace was contacted about the series, but denied being asked for comment so they could 'discredit the content of the show'.

Ms Garbus also revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex wanted to showcase their love story and it was actually her idea to use the series as a platform to discuss 'larger historical issues' such as racism and colonialism.

Revision of history and blame-shifting. She hitched her wagon to the wrong horses and is trying to extricate herself and salvage her career. Good luck.

Oh, and it's now revealed that Meghan had "gentle concerns" about Harry's memoir and was worried if it was "the right move"? Pull the other one, her fingerprints are all over it. Seriously, you can tell which bits were written by the ghostwriter and which were written by her. But now that's it's been panned and Harry's been the laughingstock, she's cut him loose and had "gentle concerns."

Liz Garbus is complaining 6 wks. after the film aired, didn't complain that first or second week it was on air. The blame game and trying to explain why the film ultimately didn't do well and trying to save her hind end.
I read about Meghan's "gentle concern", Pfft! She knew about the book's content, if she didn't write parts in it, then she was guiding the ghostwriter's hand on the computer keyboard, typing her story.

Taz Weighs In

Posted by karenl on January 25, 2023, 7:13 pm, in reply to "Re: Liz Garbus claims the royals are trying to 'discredit' Netflix's Harry & Meghan"

The Calif.duo are toward the end of the video, she talks about Eugenie, Andrew and the Edinburgh title before getting to Harry and Meghan.
I agree with Taz, Meghan is furious with Harry and the way he's made them a laughing stock.
