Golden-Slacks Global Grifters: Meghan & Lena, er, Harry Now Rumored to Score a BILLION from GOLDMAN SACHS... as "Ambassadors" (WTF?)

[Page Six] Prince Harry is reportedly in talks with banking giant Goldman Sachs — the start of what a PR guru predicts could be a billion-dollar empire.

The Duke of Sussex — who is believed to have been paid more than $1 million to attend a recent summit hosted by JP Morgan — first held talks with Goldman Sachs in November, according to the Mirror.

It suggests the 35-year-old prince and his wife, Meghan Markle, 38, were considering their financial futures months before their stunning January announcement that they were quitting the royal family, the paper notes.

Potentially, the talks could be to get Harry as the latest high-profile speaker at the bank’s “Talks at GS” series, the UK paper notes. Speakers are not paid for their appearance, but sources told the Mirror that it will pave the way for a lucrative future relationship. Previous speakers have included stars such as Gwyneth Paltrow and business leaders such as Dropbox co-founder and CEO Drew Houston.

A royal insider confirmed the talks to the Daily Mail — but insisted it was on behalf of one of Harry’s charitable patronages.

#1 Hard to find a more apt symbol of Global Grifting.

#2 Why is this "grifting"? If Goldman Sachs wants to shower them with money, that's their business. I'm pretty sure they have calculated this carefully.

#3 Probably shower them with children for sex parties, too. Flights to private creepy island optional.

#4 EC - you're probably right, given that the former prince and his wife are private citizens now who no longer have influence or public office to trade.

The correct term is not grifting but prostitution: Harry is clearly seeking to engage in transactions by which he publicly dramatizes his pain at his mother's death -- and indirectly, his wife's bogus accusations of "racism" against his family -- in return for cash.

Hundreds of millions in cash.

Worse than grifting, actually. Disgusting.

#7 To paraphrase a much beloved blogger here, "I don't want to hear about one more goddamn teacher having to buy classroom supplies out of his / her pocket until this shit stops..."

#8 Wasn't GS given the sweetheart deals in the 2008-9 bailouts? Just asking.
