There was me thinking they were shy and wanted no attetion!

She is an actress

I think poor old Harry is making a right bed for himself. He seems hellbent in protecting his family from the media, maybe due to his mother’s untimely demise. But the funny thing is William seems we’ll able to balance the press and private life...... anyways, making Netflix movies, and moving to California are not things that scream quiet life..... As it was reported Harry told his grandmother what Megan wants, Megan gets....
They want their privileged life, they just need to find a way to pay for it. What better way to get free PR and launch their careers than breaking away from the royal family.

I honestly thought they wanted to step away from the media and public eye for a good while. I say they are going to get torn apart by the media more than ever over the next few years.

Course they are..... whatever power the royal family wielded over the uk press, the Sussex’s have none of that over the US press.

America loves the UK royals

I think they would prefer royals that are working, not ones that step down from royal duties!

I wish them the best, but for 2 people who have turned their backs on their own families, I dunno, they don’t give me the warm and fuzzies.

Who cares really? The RF has been out of the picture for months now and no one missed them, but the UK still has to pay for them.

Just had to drop a comment in but I couldn't care less about any of their narcissistic antics anyway. Feck them.

How do you know all of this?

I'm not a fan of Megan Markle but we haven't a clue what went on a Princess Beatrice's wedding or what friendships Megan had or didn't have.

It's strange the certainty some people seem to have regarding her experiences as a member of the Royal family.

So your insights come as a royal insider do they?

I have seen nothing to suggest the US media intends a merciless hate campaign against the Sussexes as has been spearheaded by the Daily Mail.

No not yet but give it time and the US media will eventually have the knives out for them.

The typical tabloid media cycle is to spend a couple of years of building them up with fawning uncritical coverage and initially the build up phase sells lots of newspapers and magazines for a while. But as interest wanes and sales go down a memo then goes around the tabloid machine that having been responsible for building them up its now time to chop them down. And from that their sales get boosted with the fall out, salacious stories, scandals, whatever sells newspapers. Its all about the sales for them, get them by building them up and then double them by chopping them down again.

At that point the tabloid media lose access to any interviews so instead they just make stuff up to fill pages 'a source close to Meghan said XYZ'. It will all be lies but the tabloids can get away with it by quoting anonymous sources to make up their stories. Harry and Meghan will have no control over the narrative and the media will write what they want and whatever sells copy. There will be no point in Harry and Meghan throwing around court cases about it either like they did in the UK because the First Amendment gives the American media an extremely high level of freedom of speech.

This is a great decision. Purely because it pisses off the little englander types.
