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

...You don't say.

#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'.

#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.

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

#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.

#8 The really unpleasant thing about hubris is there's always plenty to go around.

#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.

#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?

#11 "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.

Other problems...you mean like Baraq and Big Mike?

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.

#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 ...

#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
