Royal Failures

Holy Moley, H is facing a massive lawsuit bill.He can't have that much money lying around, nor does he have any real source of income. He's going to have to sell everything.

I think his share is, what, 1/6 of 34 million pounds. The Mail's costs plus the plaintiffs'. That's including the insurance coverage. Wow!

They're in quite the financial pickle. I think they made some good money at first, when they were first signing deals. But their ongoing success didn't materialize and neither did the full payment on promised but undelivered content. Did they think the money would continue appear magically into their accounts? Wanting money and feeling they deserve it isn't the same as earning it and having providing security for yourself. I think they have a middle-schooler's understanding of how the world works.

She seems to think that everything she does is the BEST because she's just AMAZING. I'm glad she has a healthy attitude of positive thinking, but she could use a bit of humanity too.

I think that she and Harry have created their own ecosystem, where perceived grievances and undeserved praise are recycled between them. It's been years of "poor us" and "aren't we marvelous" to the point I don't think they can operate in the real world.

This the interim payment so there will be more plus each claimant, Harry in the lead, has the bills their legal team will present to them. I read in passing that Harry and David Shernbourne, Harry's barrister are not speaking. It's said Harry lit into David right after the judge's decision and things got ugly. I don't if it's true, but I could Harry doing such a thing.
They all the insurance company's decision hanging over them, as I said, the insurance company could very well deny paying out any money since the case was dismissed for lack of evidence, They would have a very good cause for denial.

She's been Markled

Posted by Martha on August 22, 2026, 5:48 pm, in reply to "August 22 - them"

Meghan Markle’s return to acting has reportedly been ‘cancelled’ amid critism over plans to cast her in the third season of The Gentlemen.

Royal author Tina Brown claimed last night that an offer for the Duchess of Sussex to appear in Guy Ritchie’s hit Netflix show had been withdrawn after the reaction in Britain became too ‘intense’.

Ms Brown said: ‘I learned that the casting of Meghan Markle has been withdrawn. The backlash was so intense it became untenable to go forward.’

I couldn't see Guy Ritchie reaching out and wanting Markle on this series. I wonder if the push came from Ted Sarandos or his wife. I would liked to read about clashes between Guy Ritchie and Markle..he doesn't suffer fools gladly.
Someone must have been hiding under a rock to consider Markle....as stated just putting her name out in connection with any business or media production ignites the kiss of death.

More from Delululand

Harkle pr putting out the terms of their return. Madness. Charles needs his head examined if he goes along with this nonsense.

From the article (italics are mine, followed by my brilliant commentary):

In their best-case scenario, Harry and Meghan could remain a private couple while also making public appearances alongside serving royals once they return to the fold. In their dreams. Just which working royals do they think will welcome them tagging along, mugging for the camera and monopolizing the visit?

'It needs all sides to agree a template for "private royals-plus". It needs them to be much more "private" than "working", and be seen at family occasions, like Christmas at Sandringham. Agree to WHOSE template? This 'private royals-plus' sounds suspiciously like 'half in, half out' which has already been nixed. Tell them to stick to parking lots.

It sounds like trying to be the Michaels of Kent. Not listed in the court circular, invited to everything. They had their charities and their KP apartment.

Absolute nonsense put out by Them. I don't think Charles is willing to destroy his relationship with William, which is what will happen if he allows Them back into the working RF fold. It would also lose much of the support for the monarchy, which would be an absolute disaster.

Does Charles or the Crown Estate have any properties in the Outer Hebrides where he can plop the privacy-loving Her and Him? Or maybe the Shetland Isles?

Notice that the article says they might move to Canada or Australia after a year. Both are Commonwealth countries. Harry is trying to stay connected, but is that because of sudden loyalty or is it connected to his visa situation? If he lied on his U.S. visa application as has been alleged, he might be on the verge of having it cancelled or at least not renewed. He won't have that problem in the Commonwealth.

Also, he can retain his titles and position in a Commonwealth country more than he can in the U.S. Assuming they aren't revoked. I think that if Charles was going to remove the dukedom it would have happened by now. By living in Canada or Australia there might be the buffer needed to keep King William from removing them.
