"......Writing for the Daily Mail, Mr Eden said: "A source [who is based in California] tells me there is not expected to be any work broadcast this year. The relaunch of Meghan's Archetypes podcast got pushed back to 2025."

Mr Eden also writes that Lemonada were not keen for the podcast's launch to be "overshadowed" by Meghan's forthcoming Netflix series, which has already started filming."

There may have been a big lack of interest expressed by fans/listeners for the re-broadcast of Meghan's podcasts.

Meghan Gets Slammed By The "Small Batch Jam Co."

Posted by karenl on April 23, 2024, 1:46 am, in reply to "Richard Eden's article"

The presenter is a little hard to understand and she's different from Taz or Tudor. I came across this video and the jam company in question slammed Meghan in an answer to someone posting a question to their company.

Article by Tom Bower

Posted by Susan T on April 23, 2024, 9:39 am, in reply to "April 20 - This One and His Wife"

The Duchess of Sussex’s senior royal official, Samantha Cohen, has finally broken cover on the explosive bullying claims that first rocked Kensington Palace in 2021 and still reverberate today.

Ms Cohen, a loyal and longstanding former palace aide, has confirmed to an Australian newspaper that she was, indeed, among those interviewed by the Palace in the wake of complaints about the duchess’s alleged aggressive behaviour.

A small step forward, you might think, but a significant one when it comes to an episode which officials have so far swept under the carpet.

Apparently, it hasn't occurred to Bower that maybe the episode has been "swept under the rug" to protect the victims from further bullying from the sugars. It's a difficult concept for some people, especially the media, to grasp, but some people just don't want or need to share everything to the entire universe.

What exactly would revealing the names of those who had been bullied and the details about the bullying to the general public accomplish?

Exactly, the names were not revealed...and won't be revealed to protect the persons involved from harassment/bullying, unless as with Ms. Cohen, some other individuals confirm they were part of the investigation. It has to be each individual's decision.
Details about the bullying? We already know from the media running articles concerning Harry and particularly Meghan's treatment of their staff, staff at BP and KP, plus various staff they had on their tours. We'd all being stating, "No big surprise, we knew all this." As I've written, Harry has already spilled the outcome of the investigation at least twice with his comments.
Tom Bower is a solicitor or barrister, isn't he? He should know about client/investigation confidentiality. I guess he feels it only applies to his clients.

No, he's not a lawyer or barrister.

According to wiki, he's a "British writer and former BBC journalist and television producer. He is known for his investigative journalism and for his unauthorised biographies, often of business tycoons and newspaper proprietors."

His latest book about the Beckhams will be released in the US in June. I'm surprised he had the time to write another book, he's constantly popping up on YouTube news feeds dissing the Harkles.

He's been very vocal about Charles needing to drop the "never explain, never complain doctrine and replace it with some sort of scorched earth policy. (Because that worked so well during the Diana years, not.)

Okay, question solved. I think I got that from someone on YT stating he was in the legal profession, doesn't matter now.
He got on my last nerve when he harped on and on about the Princess of Wales/KP not being transparent in disclosing just what was wrong with Catherine and the public demanding answers. (It wasn't the public, it was the media, as we know). Yes, he has gone on and on about adopting a scorched earth policy as well as the King taking away the Sussex titles. Give it up Tom.

Curious timing

Posted by Martha on April 24, 2024, 1:21 pm, in reply to "April 20 - This One and His Wife"

Nothing new in this article, but it's not the DM so that's a win. I think Tom Bower overstated that with Samantha Cohen's interview the bullying leaks have started and that the dam will soon burst with staff accusations of Sussex cruelty and bad behavior. After so much undermining of the royal family, is the staff beginning to have a bit back in defense of the BRF? Meghan does not want any bad press to effect what's left of her marketability, but she may get dragged over being a monster to work for. Karma.

Yes, Tom Bower did overstate Ms. Cohen's remarks. All she stated was a confirmation that she was one of the 10 staff interviewed in the Meghan bullying investigation, she didn't add any further information. It's Tom Bower and the rest of the media blowing things out of proportion. It does seem to be curious timing, indeed.

Blackbelt Barrister: Harry Might Not Get His Day In Court

Posted by karenl on April 25, 2024, 12:50 am, in reply to "Re: Curious timing"

Interesting information, but Harry is so stupid, he'll insist on going through with a trial. Now I can see why William settled with his lawsuit. You may get a judgement in your favor, but...you have to pay through the nose and then some.

I'm also wondering about the Mirror judgement. Harry supposedly was offered a generous settlement and he refused. If true, he not only got a fraction of the money he was asking/demanding, but he had to pay out a lot also. That's why he was hollering/demanding a retrial with the Mirror also.

In the midst of everything Harry and Meghan hired two new staff for Archewell. We'll see how long these guys stay.
