Meghan Markle and Prince Harry face 'complete disaster'
2022-05-05
[GEO.TV] Prince Harry and Princess Meghan Markle
...unlikable American former starlet married to the formerly likable Prince Harry. Chock full of lefty political opinions, Markle's most important characteristic is that she is Black, even though she doesn't look it. Her mother, y'see, is half black and her father is white, which would make her a quarter Black. Her half brother described her (to her husband, before their marriage) as a jaded, shallow, conceited woman that will make a joke of you and the royal family heritage. Once married, she was too good for the Royals and she and Harry decamped to Beverly Hills, kind of like the Clampetts did, thus making a joke of Harry and the royal family heritage...
are facing a "complete disaster" after video streaming giant cancelled its development of Pearl, an animated series created by the Duchess of Sussex, according to an expert.

Meghan Markle's series being dropped by Netflix is a "complete disaster" for her and Prince Harry, a commentator has claimed.

Rafe Heydel-Mankoo, a royal commentator, said the axing of the series was a "complete disaster" for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex , who are living in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, after quitting royal duties.

Mr Heydel-Mankoo told GB News: "Archewell productions, their Netflix company which has had the catastrophic news that Pearl — its flagship production which was an animated series executively produced by Elton John and David Furnish — is to be axed.

"As you know, Netflix is having big problems with a dip in subscriber numbers, falling revenues, plummeting share prices and having spent too much on other problems, and is cutting back — particularly on animated series.

"So while Harry’s Invictus documentary is carrying on, there is nothing for Meghan to show for it and it’s really calling into question whether they can walk the walk. They’re good at talking the talk.

They signed up to Spotify but have only produced one podcast so far, the Netflix deal has been in place for over a year now and there’s very little to show for it.

"It looks as if, you know, apart from moaning about the royals there’s not much that they’re able to do."

#19  *A D-List actress who's racial-guilted everyone to an incredible level of social achievement. Unfortunately, the buzz is over, they have no real talents (See: her acting on "Suits") and everyone plays for bottom-line profits by dropping these losers

#18  It's really too bad about Harry. I used to admire him. He went into the army and went to Afghanistan in a combat unit. They pulled him out when some asshole reporter revealed who and where he was. He was pulled because if the Taliban knew where he was, they would make him a priority target, which would endanger his whole unit. He then went on to become a gunship pilot.

But then he married Meghan ...

#17   rantburg it’s now a complete circus ….the royals?

We used to have a Stupid Animal Tricks category, but it seems to have been displaced by Stupid Human Tricks. When it comes to stupid, the animals don't have a chance.

#10  Freeloading is a short-term vocation when all you can sell is dirt on your family. Once you have sold it, and money gets tight, your "friends" find you trivial and inconvenient. You were a useful foil for the hated British Monarchy, but that has run its course, so please move on. $4,000 a month will get you a nice 3 bedroom rental in Studio City if you can get a work visa Harry?

#9   Instead they were designed as a way for Netflix to funnel money to liberals they like.

Similar to how an author gets a big-ass advance on a book that never sells.

#7  I suspect a number of shows were not actually real. Instead they were designed as a way for Netflix to funnel money to liberals they like. When Netflix suddenly didn't have enough money these shows were cancelled.

#4  #2 THANK YOU, been saying these "deals" have been money laundering for awhile now.

#3  I'm no socialist, but just imagine if all the money lavished on "famous people" for lending their names to various projects and getting huge book deals for books they didn't even write instead went to widows and orphans.

#2  ...Oh, and while I'm at it: if I were King for a day (sorry, Harry) I'd be looking really, really hard at some of these sweetheart celebrity deals from Netflix, various and sundry publishers, and etc. Bluntly, I think the technical term for at least some of it is 'money laundering'.
