Tina Brown’s The Palace Papers came out earlier this year, to much disappointment. Many royal-watchers hoped that Brown would be fair and even “journalistic” to the Windsors, but Brown was largely co-opted by the palace machinery she should have exposed. The Palace Papers ended up being largely asinine, especially when it came to the then-Cambridges and the Sussexes. Which isn’t to say that the book and the promotion was wall-to-wall lies – Brown ended up accidentally telling the truth a few times, especially when she spoke about why Harry and Meghan are such a huge threat to the monarchy. Brown just wasn’t saying that like it’s a good thing, like good for H&M for creating an American royal court and telling their truth! No, Brown made it sound like H&M are dreadful for going away and living their lives and not agreeing to be abused in the UK. Well, Brown spoke at the Henley Literary Festival over the weekend and she had much more to say. File this under “British People Britsplain America to British People.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are poor by Hollywood standards, according to Tina Brown, who joked that “Elon Musk is still single” if the Duchess fancies trading up. The royal biographer, author of The Diana Chronicles and The Palace Papers, was responding to reports that the Duchess is house-hunting in California.
According to local reports, she has been shopping for a “private estate” in Hope Ranch, an upmarket community a few miles from their current home in Montecito.
“Yes, and at some point it might be more than a new house she’s looking for,” Brown joked, adding: “Elon Musk is still single, that’s all I have to say.”
Speaking at the Henley Literary Festival, Brown said: “It’s not very pleasant to be a D-list celebrity who, for them, doesn’t have enough money. It’s a wholly different game to be with those super-rich people. In Montecito, where they live, their $14 million mansion is a humble cottage compared to what these other people have.”
Brown, the former editor of Tatler, Vanity Fair and the New Yorker, spoke to many people closely connected with the Royal family for her latest book, The Palace Papers. She claimed that the Duke of Sussex’s tell-all biography may never be published.
“They are now in this bind, where they’ve taken all this money and Harry has made this book deal where he’s supposed to spill everything about his horrible life as a royal, but now he’s actually tortured about it because he understands there is no way back if he does it. If the book continues, I don’t think there is any way for Harry to return. So my view has always been that the book won’t see the light of day. The window is beginning to close but I always thought at some point a deal would be made and Charles would have to pay back the advance to stop Harry writing this book.”
Asked what advice she believed Diana would have given to her son if she were alive today, Brown said the princess would have advised him to return to the family fold. Brown said: “Diana was very pragmatic. I think she would have said to Harry, ‘This isn’t going anywhere. You need to make a deal and find a way to come back.’”
Yeah, no – Diana would not tell her younger son to return to the abusive system which tried to destroy her and warped her two sons after her death. What the f–k is Tina Brown smoking? It’s completely insane to watch all of these royalists try to reimagine Diana as a conservative Establishment figure who wanted nothing more than to protect the institution. She was not that.
As for what Brown says about the Sussexes… they’re literally living in a giant mansion in Montecito, one of the wealthiest enclaves in the country. If they sold their home, they would turn a huge profit because the value of that kind of California real estate has skyrocketed. As for not having enough money… I’m so, so glad that the Sussexes got out when they did and had the chance to set themselves up financially, because the very second William became Duke of Cornwall, he would have cut them off anyway. People like Tina Brown act as if Harry and Meghan left the cushiest financial situation in the UK – they did not. And it would have been so much worse for them financially when Charles became king.

It’s too early for this shit. She sounds like a bitter, unpleasant person and while I’m not a fan of the “WWDS” (what would Diana say) game, I’m sure Diana would rather move in with them and play with her grandchildren by the pool than tell her son to dump is wife, break up his family, and go back to the family that already kicked her to the curb. Unbelievable.
Tina ignored how Diana was ousted from the family and was an outsider. Diana would imo have had issues with william and his behavior. Tina is absurd thinking Diana would have wanted harry to ditch his family and running back to the dysfunction.
I may be wrong on this, but didn’t Tina actually know Diana? If that’s the case then the fact she’s saying this garbage is astounding.
She met Diana, they had a lunch together that Tina references . They were not friends–Diana’s real friends like Caroline Bartholomew and Lucia Flecha de la Lima among others. Diana did tell Morton exactly how she felt and related to the RF and later to Bashir. Her own words. What Tina writes about contradicts what happened to Diana and in her own words.Diana was no royalist or establishment and she certainly would have identified with Harry and Meghan and their children.Diana had such hopes for William and I think she’d be horrified at how he turned out. Harry and Meghan
too were ousted and also gaslighted. Diana is not around to contradict anything, no way would Tina Brown had dared to come up with this if Diana had been around.
Co-sign that its to early for this shit. This person. My god.
The Musk comment was too much. How f- insulting
It’s not insulting, it’s flat out deluded. How any person on the planet can look at Harry and Meghan and not understand that they are REALLY into each other is the real unsolved mystery, for me.
I am 47, FAAAAAR beyond the true love forever BS, but it is very clear how much they love each other, from their souls.
Notice how she talked about how Meghan is shopping for a home. Making it seem like she and Harry are not together at all and somehow the kids would just poof out of existence?! UGH. These people.
That part pissed me off too. “SHE (not they) is househunting”, “Elon Musk is single”, like Meghan would ever want that creature, even if she wasn’t married to Harry. If anyone is paid by CIII it’s TB. How can anyone say all this sh$% with a straight face? In public?
Agree with Couch potato, that was gross. Also, how can she say on one hand that they’re poverty stricken D listers & in the next breath say they (Meghan, actually) is looking to trade up to a house in Hope Ranch? Plus, for crying out loud, they didn’t ‘take’ money, they were paid money. It’s Charles who ‘takes’ money, in shopping bags!
Tina Brown is the most odious, grossly overrated “journalist/smut monger”. I saw her on Bill Maher years ago and she was about as interesting and thought provoking as Katie “Buttons” Keen. How this dreadful, absurdly bitchy woman rose to such an esteemed position is beyond me.
It’s the accent. People are always suckers for a Brit accent. They assume the person is capable and smart. Add in the inbred contempt certain Brits have for everyone else and voila. Although I think has been substantially reduced over the last few years with royal family revelations and Brexit.
I did not like the Diana Chronicles because she put out some fake news about Diana (that had been contradicted in other books) and she made some snide comments about her. The Sarah Bradford book was a lot better. And Bradford never claimed to be Diana’s friend. Tina Brown did but she is sure no friend of Diana.
Wow. What I see here is some projection going on. As Brown’s importance and looks fade (sorry but her face looks jacked), she is jumping on the gutter press bandwagon to desperately hold on to relevance. So damn stupid. H & M live in the frikkin stratosphere, no matter what she wishes were so. They have charisma and are admired, despite the 80 deranged accounts and the bots that the RF pay to smear them.
If we were asked who we would like to trade places with, who would it be? H/M or W/C? The answer seems obvious in terms of well-being, freedom, authenticity, etc.
So much bitter, bitter envy out there. It is truly a facet of the dysfunction we are seeing that the rage is turned on those who find a way out of toxic situations and seek true happiness.
Em I I just read this at 3:00 pm and it is still too early for this nonsense. Oh how the mighty have fallen huh Tina? Meghan would not glance at Elon except to roll her eyes. The thirst and the projection my Lord!!!
My, how the mighty have fallen is perfect in reference to Ms. Brown’s elevated position as a media maven in the 90’s Somebody give this woman a job and leave H&M out of it..
Tina Brown needs to shut up. I used to have respect for her and thought she was above all this.
Clearly the sales of her book haven’t gone that well, hence her talking all the time.
I purchased a hardback copy at the cutdown price of 50% of the original price. The paperback is released next year and l cannot see it doing well because it contains precious little original information.
Tina Brown is just spouting nonsense for self publicity and promoting her boring book.
I’m really shocked to hear about her former roles.. she sounds completely unhinged.
As they say, the eyes are the mirror of ones hart.
Tina B’s eyes tells you everything you need to know about her soul and character: unkind, unhappy, but above all, envious, bitter, mean-spirited and hateful.
There will be no mercy when karma hits her – God doesn’t like ugly.
It’s like she’s taken a break from reality. Or, in a cynical attempt to cash in on the industry that’s been built around hating Meghan, TB’s decided to go overboard and throw the most absurd accusations at H&M (D-Listers, they’re sooooo poor, book getting canceled, Elon Musk???) because the deragers are so deranged they’ll believe anything. It’s pathetic.
Well, I’m just going to say it: Tina Brown is just a nasty bitch.
The Elon Musk comments are beyond disgusting. Let her rant, and she might just find herself in court, defending a libel/deformation case. Maybe then, H&M will become rich enough for her.
It seems like waaaaay too many people lately are thinking, “screw it, let me get my money when I can.” The sell-outs are everywhere. No integrity, no honesty, no honor, just greed.
So. Much. Projection.
Succinct and on point.
Thank you.
Yup.
Before they were too rich; now they are too poor… when I think this is for a British audience…their audience of royalists must be made up of some of the thickest people you have ever met given how they swallow one thing and its complete opposite! Meghan did expose to the world how racist salty island really is! The USA is racist but at least the entire population isn’t gaslighted and happy to be…
AND your level of celebrity is not a reflection of your wealth. That’s not how it works.
The Sussexes have global reach so these awful people will pick at anything they can think of to try and diminish them. Good luck with that.
Like, who cares how wealthy they are? Is that supposed to be the measure of one’s happiness? They have enough to own a home and pay for security, which they would not be allowed to do as senior working royals. They have the freedom to make choices that are best for their family, which they would not be allowed to do as senior working royals. These British Royalists don’t seem to get how much better life is when you’re not beholden to and controlled by the establishment.
Exactly! With all that we have learned since the Sussexes escaped, you know that every day Harry and Meghan must wake up with a feeling of relief that they got out. And they are in that lovely home (never too far from a bathroom 🤣🤣🤣) and can enjoy the sunshine and the beach….it gives me joy!
And since when did the Sussexes ever act like they were aiming for “Hollywood” money (whatever the heck that is?) Projection big time, here…
Tina Brown is what it looks like when life takes everything at once: looks, money and influence. She was once the “bombshell” editor of several high fashion outlets. Now she’s a dowdy nobody who has to write the lowest, least enticing form of tabloid journalism (“Royal rota”), that sells less than a runaway fart from Kim K. Her life is a mess and she needs to lash out.
Wow hahaha. I love everything you just wrote.
So true @Dee, and thanks! Yet, I have to point out that TB never actually had any looks to speak of, so losing the ‘bloom’ and youthful illusion of having any ‘looks,’ didn’t take much in TB’s case! 😵💫
💯
She’s struggling to stay relevant on the backs of H&M, and it is a bad, bad look. We see you, Tina.
Wow! Great summation of a has been that now must sing for her supper thru the rota. Harry and Meghan are living life on their terms and any list is a nonf-ing factor.
I have seen all of what Tina preaches already said on dm comments plus the cliche remarks about the sussexes on social media. In her book she used tom marble as a source which says it all. She is getting shrill now
I’m thinking Tina Brown is the one who needs money and feels less than her wealthy neighbors.
Tina Brown is literally pole dancing for her life, hoping for grubby pound notes to be thrown her way from the British tabloid media. If Elon Musk is available, perhaps she ought to bat her spidery lashes his way. Meghan’s already got a man. Tina Brown is nothing more than a likely dipsomaniac cow, mooing for relevance.
Ianne: *chef’s kiss* – I wanted to say all that and you said it so much better. Only adding: unfortunately she’s too old for Elon Musk – but now we know what she would do if she were Meghan’s shoes!
haha, that was supposed to be: if she were IN Meghan’s shoes
Bingo @Jais and @Lanne! 🎯 💯
Plus, TB didn’t have to sell out to try and regain relevancy and attention. This was an active, purposeful choice she made. TB has always been a vicious royalist, and her racism and misogyny are showing too.
As others have said: a pretty good summarisation of Tina Brown these days.
Yes I’m aware of her work at Vanity Fair and how she founded the daily beast and all that but even if you like Brown, you have to admit she’s fallen quite far.
Imho, the Daily Beast is settling into being mostly a tabloid and willing outlet for rightwing garbage.
All of these royal reporters are cloistered and out of touch. Their writing comes across as first drafts of bad British tv shows from the 70s. Tina Brown has lived and worked in America and still sounds like an anachronistic buffoon who assumes the entire world values the inane British class system.
Enough with the “D-Listers” nonsense. If they’re so low down in the “celebrity” scale why do the likes of Tina Brown and her cronies feel the need to write/comment about them on a daily basis? There are plenty of “A-Lister” royals TB could write/comment on so, why is she always bringing up H&M at any given opportunity? Silly hateful woman. *SMH*
Exactly! If they’re so D-list, why is she even wasting her time on them? Why not focus on her A-listers or the new King and his drab queen, or the new Waleses? Surely she can get more out of that than these poor nobodies she seems obsessed with.
If the Sussexes are so D-list, why doesn’t Tina focus on A-listers like the Earl and Countess of Wessex?
Exactly! If they were so unimportant, people like Tina and all the other crazies wouldn’t spend every waking hour obsessed with them, and using H&M’s fame to promote themselves.
Also LOL at how we switched from “OMG they’re so ostentatious and have a million bathrooms how dare they make so much money” to “they’re house poor and it’s a humble cottage, and Meghan is just looking for a sugar daddy.” Gross, and hilariously deranged.
LMFAO, Tina. D-Listers? Get your story straight. What percentage of people are turning down a call from Meghan vs a call from Khate? 😂
If they’re D Listers, what does that make the family they always seem to overshadow?
This is liken to the incompetent help rating her potential employer.
Nothing more nor less.
The Sussexes are not the content in the social media medium, they are the content providers.
This is part of the reason for the friction between them and those cosplaying journalism.eg. Tina Brown.
When is the last time one saw a rating of content providers.
Ratings may be available for the companies that are content providers for investment purposes.
Excellent point. H&M are a threat (among many other reasons) because they make their own story–and aren’t beholden to the RR or anyone else. That’s why the British tabs constantly come down so hard on M’s podcast, Harry’s book, etc. How dare they have a voice and use it instead of being shaped by others?
If H&M are D-list, what rank do RR’s have?
Oh to be “poor” like the Sussex’s!
They need or want to be Elon Musk rich or Oprah and Rihanna rich. And just because they aren’t the level doesn’t mean door are closed to them in certain circles. I would argue it’s the opposite. I’m sure they are drowning in invitations and business opportunities. Everyone wants a piece of the Sussex pie.
And, once again, keep dreaming about that memoir being cancelled. It won’t. The book is set. What Salty aisle DOES need to worry about is how many bombshell interviews Harry will do for them. Oprah 2.0 anyone?
Not only that, but Oprah, Rihanna, and Musk didn’t start out as rich as they are now. And we know neither Sussex is afraid of hard work. Harry and Meghan are at the very beginning of their own empire/earning potential, so of course they’re not as rich as Oprah! I want all these royal reporters to come back in 5-10 years and let’s see how things look then. They’ll still be unable to keep Meghan’s name out of their mouths and the Sussexes will still be earning bank and changing lives.
As for the idea that Meghan is looking to trade up from Harry – a literal prince, who worships the ground she walks on, and father to her two lovely children – give me a fcuking break. Those two are solid as a rock.
But Tina B just can’t help – once again -giving the royal game away that their only hope is that Harry and Meghan split and Harry (and his charisma and work ethic) returns to be the family’s scapegoat. The way they beg and plead for him to come back by stating Chuck would pay back Harry’s book advance if he cancels the book 🤣, and trying to threaten Harry that if he releases the book there’s no way back. Get it through your heads – he’s never coming back. He chose his Black biracial wife over the trappings of royalty. He’s just not that into you. He’s not going to sacrifice his life to prop up his useless brother and sister-in-law. He’s literally trying to sue the Daily Fail out of existence (the same source of several of his father’s and brother’s staff)! He’s OUT.
…sorry, my rant got a little out of control lol
Excellent rant! I’ll just pile on, if I may. These unhinged people aren’t even disguising their hopes that, through divorce or something far worse, Harry will be divested of his wife and children, his many endeavors/career, and — having nothing/no life of his own — will come running back to the “royal fold.” GMAFB! That barn door is long closed, the stallion has run off and won the Triple Crown.
@Sussexwatcher you nailed it with “He’s just not that into you” and reminded me of the book. Tina and the rest of the sad pathetic RR should read it so they can stop obsessing about H and M.
“…they beg and plead for him to come back by stating Chuck would pay back Harry’s book advance if he cancels the book 🤣”
Seriously, how would that even work in reality? Would Charles also pay the cost of the publisher’s lawsuit for breach of contract–or any other legal tangle this would bring?
It’s not about Harry going back so much as Harry leaving Meghan. They want to be right. They want to say Meghan was a mistake, an anomaly. So they can erase her out of that history and then bring her down further. And watch while she suffer. And if she pulls herself together after then they can have a story of her rising or not. It really does not matter to them drive them apart and drive her crazy. Why do you think that many were so gleeful when Tiger Woods fell?
From what I understand, once William took over the Duchy of Cornwall, he wouldn’t be responsible for the Sussex’s expenses, that responsibility would fall to the monarch. The real trouble would be when William becomes king (in many different ways).
This is correct. They wouldn’t have been under William’s control until he was king which I think was the bigger concern, financially.
@Becks1, I do believe that this was one of the factors in their decision to step back as senior royals and their desire to become financially secure. With the way that William was treating them, they knew that it would become much worse once he was in a position of power and they, quite rightly, did not want their financial security in his hands.
That’s what I thought too.
Yes, but Harry knew that William was not the only problem. Charles with the Duchy of Lancaster would now be controlling the purse strings were Harry and Meghan to stay. THE same Charles who negotiates by withholding security, guilted them into paying for the Frogmore upgrades, and God knows what else.
Brother Harry had no choice but to bounce.
^^ Read the Sussex Royal website @RoyalBlue. Harry & Meghan made the decision independently to pay Frogmore renovation costs back to the Sovereign Grant, surely in an effort to shut up the tabloid media whining and gaslighting about FC. Charles had nothing to do with Frogmore. It was gifted to the Sussexes by the Queen. I believe Harry took any discussion of FC off the table before it could be brought up by anyone. Harry owns the lease.
Once again, as someone mentioned previously, M&H are planners and forward-thinkers. They strategized their escape and they covered all angles. I even believe that their half-in/half-out offer, while a genuine proposal on their part, was still strategic in that Harry probably figured it would be turned down. They had back-up plans in place for every contingency. And for sure, yes, there’s a lot M&H were subjected to behind-the-scenes from Charles, Wills, et al., which we don’t know full details about.
So, as the second born son of KCIII and ultimately, the brother of the monarch, H (and M) would not be *automatically* taken care of financially, to live in the life they are accustomed? It wouldn’t be a part of the sovereign grant or whatever its called? That is INSANE. I love the royal family gossip but understand so little of the financials, but I would love to know more.
So the Sussexes finances would have still been under Charles as King or William would now have been the one to sign off ?
Charles
Thank God the Wales would have been inssufferable.
Charles is no better. He is a monster.
^^ Right, as King, Charles (not William) would have held the purse strings over M&H. As the new Duke of Cornwall & Prince of Wails, William comes into some money, power, and relative autonomy. But like Charles did, Pegasus Cain TOB will be using duchy funds for his and his own family’s personal expenses, while spare Harry would have remained under his father’s financial authority and control. Not a good place to be.
I have previously read that so many of the past arguments between Prince Charles and his twenty-something sons was chiefly about money and about who would get to do what & when. Such are the hazards of family life being mixed-up with an ancient institution that’s run like a family business and a full-on cult! 😱 Imagine the freedom Harry has been feeling out from under that backbiting mess!
Return to what Tina Brown ? The Monarchy is in decline and their days are numbered. Prince Harry has found his freedom.
If the monarchy should fail during Harry’s lifetime, best believe that the RR will blame it on him (and Meghan by extension). “He left the family, and look what happened to it!” “Poor George won’t have a throne because of evil uncle Harry and horrible aunt Meghan!”
Going from Harry, who ADORES Meghan, to becoming one of Elon Musk’s harem is not an upgrade. Doesn’t matter how many extra bathrooms they could afford. Barf!
Tina herself is the one who wants to be part of that harem. The lady doth protest toomuch, methinks! Brown is an insult to vile strumpets everywhere!
I mean, they’re literally two of the biggest stars in the world, but sure D-list, I guess.
Why do these people keep insisting that Diana would want Harry to stay in the Firm? Diana would have set herself up at least part time in their guest house, if not in her own wing in the house, lol. She would love what they’re doing.
Maybe because they know the only person Harry would take advice from in regards to the monarchy would be Diana at this point. So they claim they can speak for her.
What amazes me is that after all this time these people can’t let Harry go and live an independent life. Harry is like that one piece in the wobbly Janga tower that is the monarchy that once removed will cause the whole thing to fall.
Snuffles, funny they are imagining what Diana would say, but when Diana spoke her truth in interviews, they are the first to deny her actual words.
^^ LOL! Exactly @RoyalBlue! 💯 SMH
The petty bitters on Salt Isle can never pick a lane and stay in it. They are always all over the place throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. 🙄
I just googled Harry and Meghan’s net worth. They are allegedly worth a combined $60 million dollars which is nothing to turn your nose up to. So their Montecito $14 million home is well within their buying comfort zone so to speak. Tina Brown sounds like a horrible person who wants Harry and Meghan to come back to England and be abused by Charles, William and Kate as well as the BM. And for what? What is Charles going to give them to make it worth their while losing their dignity and independence.
Charles has nothing to offer them. The only reason they want them (or Harry) to “come back” is to put them on lockdown by controlling their money. And of course they can be used to scapegoat the others. Who in their right mind would go for that? The media wants them back so they can stop writing about Camilla and Buttons all the time.
The royals want to Rapunzel Harry and Meghan. Really, what do the royals have to offer the Sussexes other than a room in a locked tower? Back in the day, kings and queens used to lock up potential rivals under house arrest–Katherine Grey was locked up by Elizabeth 1, as was Mary Queen of Scots. The Sussexes are a threat to the Windsors because the Windsors are too small minded, thin skinned, and petty to see them as an asset to their institution. What I don’t understand is why the Windsors believe the Sussexes would agree to come back. For what? “Come enter our prison because we’re jealous of you!” Who the hell would take them up on that offer? Even without any money, there’s nothing in it for Harry and Meghan. Who, in the year of Beyonce 2022, wants to live in a cage? A turd covered in frosting is not cake.
You do have a way with words! It is very sad that Charles has nothing to offer his youngest son Harry. His own flesh and blood is now practically an outcast because he refuses to conform to being the Royal family punching bag and scapegoat. How dare Harry marry a biracial American woman and have two beautiful children and move to sunny Montecito away from the royal hatred; the audacity!
Lets talk about “loud voices in small places:” this is what I just saw about tinabrown’s net worth:
Tina Brown’s Net worth:
$100,000-$1M
“Tina Brown is an American journalist who has a net worth of between $100,000 and $1M at the age of 68. Tina Brown’s income source is mostly from being a successful journalist. She is from Maidenhead, Berkshire, England, UK. Also known as Lady Evans, she edited Vanity Fair and The New Yorker and wrote The Diana Chronicles.
On “Net Worth Results” Tina Brown is in the category: “Journalists and Famous Celebrities.”
LMFAO. Theres always a reason……
So she’s basically a broke-ass bitch
(based on what she ought to have, through all of her years as a major editor).
No wonder she’s doing the royal pole dance so stridently. Mamma needs to get paid! Bitch has some nerve talking about the D list when this obnoxious ho is on the Z list herself.
They don’t even sound like they’re on the same plane of reality anymore. Just living in a totally different world.
Sometimes I wish Harry would just make an announcement that he’s not “coming back”. Ever. Just undercut all of these so called experts like Tina Brown with their endless jabber about Harry “missing royal life” and what “Diana would have wanted”. And lol about calling the Sussexes mansion a ” humble cottage”. I guess she hasn’t heard its got 472 bathrooms.
Reading your comment, I just heard in my brain the Harry/Meghan version of “We are never ever ever coming back to you EVER.”
I’ll see myself out!
^^ Harry has already said that he’s not coming back, through his work, his words, and his actions. He even said it before he ever left in so many ways, especially in his words and deeds. In the S.A. interview, Harry said: “My mother taught me a set of values… I will always, always protect my family, and now I have a family to protect.” 👏 👍 😍
Harry also voiced a desire at 21 years of age to have a column in the newspaper where he could tell the truth of his own story, thus refuting tabloid lies. This long-held goal is finally coming to fruition for Harry, in the better form of a memoir! I can’t wait!
Harry also has already said about the royal firm, during the 2021 Dax Shepard podcast: “I’ve seen the business model. I know how it works. I don’t want to be part of it!”
Sussex supporters, courtiers, rota ratchets, and petty bitters alike all know how Harry feels. He doesn’t need to make any extra ‘official’ statements that will be used for more fodder, rather than being accepted at face value.
You can feel the bitterness rolling off of Brown’s tongue. Her book flopped by most standards, the Sussexes are still standing strong together, the monarchy is struggling for relevance in the 21st century. So what does Brown do, she leans into denigration. Of course, she had to attack Meghan’s character re the Musk comment. Nothing she said surprises me. I find many of the older white women and men in their twilight years bitter towards this couple because they are thriving and everything they have said or tried to imply is not working the way they hoped. At this point all you can do is what the Sussexes are doing ignore while moving forward. Personally I pity them. To be this disturbed by two folks who never address you are your comments has to frustrating.
Did her book flop? So good to hear that, last I checked it was selling ok
It disappeared from the best seller lists in a relatively short time
I would bet it barely earned back her advance, much less made a profit…
I am truly vexed on behalf of the Sussexes. This Karen has been keep fuming in the mouth with curated lies from the windors/Middleton. She isn’t worth writing about anymore please, lazy journalism with no iota truth. Tryhard
But, but they have a new Fab Four, they don’t need Harry, right?
Make up your minds. Either they are irrelevant or not because we know for damn sure her books would be collecting dust if she wrote about Pegs and Buttons.
This woman is tripping and has lost her damn mind. She cannot go on without mentioning Meghan or Harry…. Clearly obsessed with them and most definitely projecting. How in the world she says all this shiit with a straight face ?
Tina was never Diana’s friend she is a sell out maybe trying for honors. What has Tina done exactly that puts her in a position to judge Meghan
“Tina Brown met Harry Evans when he was married, a father of three girls. Evans was 25 years her senior, but the two journalists struck up an affair in London that spilled out into public and eventually destroyed his first marriage. His second extramarital affair came after he and Brown had married and moved to America.”
21 July 2001

So, no surprise that home wrecker TB, is defending her fellow royal sidepiece/ home wrecker Cawmilla in her stupid book/interviews. These true social climbing, amoral, projecting white women always tell on themselves, when they show their envy and hatred for black women.
Harry Evans’ lauded reputation in the newspaper business would have helped to open doors for TB career wise. It could be argued that she slept with and then eventually married him in order to advance her career. (I’m not giving her the benefit of the doubt she denies M)
This woman sounds crazy
Yes, cuckoo for coco puffs.
Someone mentioned on Twitter that Brown is especially bitter because Meghan’s podcast has really taken off and they have a new charity partnership connected with it. She was disparaging Meghan’s “ brand and her podcast a few months ago before it debuted and now it’s here, causing the buzz Brown is so obsessed with and topping the charts after each episode. It means she can get a bigger deal and the pod can move into other media and lucrative opportunities, which torpedoes Brown’s narrative. As for the house, we’ve all seen it. It’s a cottage maybe compared to Versailles and we haven’t forgotten about the bathrooms. Why does she even care what they make? She also doesn’t need to worry about Meghan’s marriage. They’re very nicely loved up, but hey Tina can shoot her shot with Elon. She’s single, right?
Meghan’s podcast showed those derangers she has a Global reach that even Charles and the Queen Consort don’t have. Let’s not get into the Wales.
Meh. She’s always been an a**hole with a constant need for attention and the classy accent to cover for her b*tchprick remarks and opinions. Very respectable work, but since the Talk debacle, and except for the Diana book, it’s been a whole lotta (quite well-compensated) failure masked as success. She and Diller screwed the Daily Beast with the Newsweek merger FFS. It was lucky to survive. At some point she began to adore the smell of her own farts and that was it. Now she’s just a $$$ wh*re.
So if spiteful Tina have to talk about Meghan to get attention, her book was not the hit she thought it was going to be, that’s what happen when you repeat tabloid BS.
A 14 million $ house is a cottage compared to other houses in the area, who cares? they and the bank own it.
Now of the blood suckers have the nerve to come out and say Tampon and Cowmilla are old and the Wailes have no charisma. They look like four funeral directors in the picture they posted.
Bitching on a successful couple, who scored two million dollar deals within 4.5 mounts after leaving the dysfunctional British royal family and the haters and the toxic UK press on that small island, won’t help her to boast her failed career and her flopped stupid book.
This bitter Karin, as many of her kind in the UK media, can continue to spuw hatred and showing her envy, cause all she’s doing is tarnishing her already lost credibility even more; nobody with 2 brain cells is buying this baseless, rehashed gossip and her nonsensical wishful thinking, because she doesn’t have any access to know anything about H&M business.
I was going to get all puffed up about the Musk comment, but *sigh*… Poor Tina, Meghan’s got Harry and you don’t.
Who wants to take on all of Elon’s kids? What’s he have, 8 now? Why would anyone want to join the population game him and Nick Cannon are playing. Brown was lusting after Harry after seeing him in uniform at the funeral. I think Meghan knows she has an amazing guy who already takes her to the moon and back.
Wow. Tina has really lost the plot. She just can’t accept that Harry is not desperately trying to leave his wife and kids to ‘find his way back’ to the monarchy that simply wants to abuse his FAMILY. And by family I mean Meghan, Archie, and Lili. The RR refuse to accept that they are Harry’s family now, and he will do everything to protect them. In spite of him saying it out of his own mouth.
Harry and Meghan have made it clear that they are all about raising their family, and doing their philanthropy. And they are living this every day. Their offer to be half-in was rejected, so the BRF just has to deal with that.
Tina is a sad jealous woman who should get a clue.
Holy hell you can practically feel the jealously and bitterness Brown has towards the Sussexes. She’d probably do anything to have their bank account, home and lifestyle.
They’ve announced in the last week that they are giving away one million dollars, so Tina can quit spreading lies. Has Tina given away one cent or is she grasping for money writing salacious lies about people she may have met once but certainly does not know.
That announcement is like bitter gall to all these rotaRats Because $1M is about the extent of their networth and here’s H&M GIVING THAT AWAY.
They’d best hold tight to their tupees and wigs because when H&M release the story of Archewell Foundation on netflix (thats my wish!) jealous biatches everywhere are gonna have coniptions.
Why would she talk about D-listers?
Ah, right. They’re not.
Just some wishful thinking.
The singular focus on H&M’s money compared to others is sick. They work hard for a living and are philanthropic! They don’t sponge off taxpayers unlike the royal family. Sit down Tina!
It’s so funny how she’s penny pinching them and nitpicking their finances while Charles doesn’t pay any inheritance tax at all and the Duchy’s don’t pay any capital gains taxes, while being publicly funded. Basically Brown is trying to talk herself and others into believing the Sussexes are not doing well and want to go back to the UK, because they miss the drama. The press were rolling in clover when the Sussexes were trapped there during the funeral and like the smear addicts they are, they want more. Seeing Camilla in her velour housecoats isn’t cutting it for them.
The “bash Harry before he publishes” barn door is sliding shut. Tina has only a few weeks to be touted as an expert on his life before she’s obsolete. Despite her years and years of supposed journalistic prowess, no one from the Sussex side spoke to her, thus rendering The Palace Papers into a one-sided rehash of Daily Mail and Sun exclusives (meaning fiction). Tina should be embarrassed to have a reference section in her book that credits Dan Wooten! She just stupidly put herself on the Sussex Karma train tracks by saying Meghan will trade up for Elon Musk. Has she not seen Harry’s mad face when his wife is insulted?
What the actual f–k?
So now Meg is gonna trade uo from Harry cause he’s not rich enough? I thought Meg married Harry because she wanted to drag him away from the Royal Family to use their royal titles for merching purposes? Now it’s not enough?
I guess this is a sign they’ve given up trying to convince Harry to leave Meg. Now they’re trying to convince Meg to leave Harry. Meg better warn her legal team…I smell made up “Meg cheats on Harry” stories coming.
Derangers going on now that she is going to dump him because she’s not a Princess anymore.
Too funny, If she wants to be princess so bad, marrying Musk won’t to do it.
Meg is still Princess and Duchess. And HRH. What are these deranged folks smoking?
Y’all remember that the Telegraph columnists get paid by the click. So getting engagement to their articles is the point. Disparaging Harry and Meghan gets them engagement from the haters but outrage from supporters who share the article.
Don’t give her or the article the attention they are craving. Harry and Meghan won.. doesn’t matter what fan fiction their haters are making up. Ignore
Now the house with 17 bathrooms isn’t fancy enough? Lolz for days.
And Charles is going to pay back the advance to stop Harry’s book? What deliberate ridiculousness. Tina knows damn well that’s not how it works. Harry can’t jusr pay back the advance and stop the publication. It’s not in his control anymore.
Penguin would probably sue not only for the advance but also for any potential profits they would have made. Charles would have to sell a few jewels to make that bank, lol. Tina knows this, she’s just making dumb conversation at this point.
It’s simpler than that MSIAM- RH has the book. It’s likely already printed and bound in a warehouse. RH isn’t going to let any loss of profit happen. The ball is literally not in Harry’s court anymore. This ain’t Amazon epublishing.
Give up Harry for Elon Musk? Talk about trading down. Ewww! 🤮
Also, does it matter if Elon is single? He cheats/knocks up anyway (i.e. that employee).
When does the Queen’s will get announced? Or does it? She was super rich I believe and I think/hope she left a nice chunk for Harry in her will. Something that does not fall under the purview of Charles
99 years from now, just like Philip’s.
It won’t be read, like Philip’s it will be in lock-down at an undisclosed location for the better part of a century.
Urgh, her snide comments about Elon Musk make me physically angry. Why in hell would Megan want him??? They share zero values and he’s just gross. Major major downgrade on every level.
Brown is a disgusting piece of trash who looks like a blonde Barney Gumble. Stfu.
OMG, she is such an awful person….that Elon Musk comment is just gross.
They so callously objectify and dehumanise Meghan , Prince Harry and suggest the breakup of their family unit with little Archie and Lilli. Remember Valentine Low referred to Meghan, “so long has she got breath in that body”. Now Tina is suggesting that she can trade up to Elon Musk. Before that it was Ingrid Seward suggesting that Prince Harry will come back without Meghan.
I think why they hate Meghan so much is she never tried or wanted to fit in. She was herself and they hate that. They want her to feel inferior and needy. They don’t like that she didn’t bow and scrape to them.
I think one of the reasons Kate gets a pass with the press is because she has imposter syndrome. She knows she will never truly fit in and it bothers her. She will never feel really comfortable in her role and from the beginning the press always talked about her middle class background. She will never rock the boat and truly be herself and the press love that they have that control over her.
I honestly think Kate’s unwillingness to try at her job stems not from imposter syndrome, but perhaps a realization that she’ll never be good enough. Like, she’s been critiqued so much she just stopped trying.
Kate may just be of the mindset that she’ll never get praise, so why work? I think Will has probably contributed to that. No excuse, but maybe an explanation.
Look at her behavior before marriage. She never did anything then either. She doesn’t care, and is lazy.
Agreed, C. Kate’s behavior stems from laziness, jealousy, greed, desire for fame and status. Not from a fear of ‘not being good enough’. Kate believes she’s the best of everything, and deserves everything, because she landed Prince Petulant.
That may be a part of it but she’s been lazy since her uni days. Apparently she copied everyone else’s notes or had *friends* complete assignments for her. She skated through without applying herself to anything other than chasing William, with her Mrs. Bennett of a mother breathing down her neck. All the praise she gets from stans and derangers is all she needs to feel relevant.
I think Kate believes her own publicity and all her super fans social media postings
Also, the only places she’s ever been critiqued for her “work” performances are sites like this, sadly. The mainstream praises her for the bare minimum all the time, and they used to do that before Meghan too (the BM would just slip in a few about how she didn’t work enough).
Kate works really hard. She just works hard at terrible things:
1) Not eating. Obviously this means she doesn’t have much energy — despite what diet culture would have women think, you need to eat.
2) Putting up with Will.
3) Mean-girling other women. Related: Brooding about how Harry chose Meghan over her.
4) Buying ugly, ridiculously expensive clothes.
5) Her hair and the various poisons and plastics injected into her face.
This all must be exhausting! My guess is she gets through it with chemical assistance.
The cold hearted ways these people that called themselves journalists from the UK write and talk about Harry and Meghan makes me sick every time I hear or read any of their stuff about Harry and Meghan. Their fixations on tearing this family up is just demonic. Karma will get them for their evil deeds towards the couple.
The British media loves projecting their weirdness on Harry and Meghan. I wouldn’t be surprised is this “story” about H&M house-hunting was just a bunch of realtors using their names to drive up interest bc they did the same thing earlier this year. Where would H&M fit in time between the Cut interview (where they talked about their home) that happened mid August and that month long funeral fest? That alone doesn’t even make sense and should tell ppl this story is bogus. Besides that, I find it hilarious that Tina Brown, a gold digger herself, is trying to project that trope on Meghan. Meghan had her own money before meeting Harry and was a self made millionaire. So that trope doesn’t hold up. No offense to Harry, but if Meghan was desperate for money, she wouldn’t have married a man who got a yearly allowance from his dad. Harry’s own family wanted her to continue acting bc they didn’t have “enough money” for her. These old hags also have an obsession with projecting their royalist narratives on Diana. The same Diana that was recorded saying “not a very loving, compassionate family this one I’m leaving” but sure let’s pretend she was a staunch royalist that did everything to protect the institution. I’m sure Diana would be proud of how far Harry’s come. She would be happy that unlike Charles, he protects and loves his wife. She would happy that he’s not at the mercy of the RF and media like she was, bc he refuses to play the media’s games.
Tina Brown has always promoted the idea that she had a special relationship with Diana – that, even now, she channels Diana from the great beyond. So, now, that marketing ploy extends to Diana’s son.
Tina got a lot of mileage from the ONE lunch she had with Diana. Diana is not around to deny Tina was her friend. Some friend.
Right @W. H&M discussed looking at their Montecito home and being happy they were in position when they could buy it. As you mentioned, it came up in The Cut interview. Joy was one of the words Meghan used to describe it. Pretty sure they were/are fully aware that there are properties with a higher value and don’t care. (didn’t their “humble cottage” jump in value by 10 million. The initial ‘Momus’ Hope Ranch story was weird. That all these RR’s/Brit affiliated urinalists are repeating it is even more weird. If H&M were to move, it wouldn’t be because they need to have a higher valued property than their neighbors. Archie & The Chick Inn would have words about that.
TB: “I don’t think there is any way for Harry to return.”.
Harry: Okay. We agree you don’t think and don’t have comprehension skills since I clearly stated, “I’ve seen the business model and behind the curtain and want no part of it”. (I’m paraphrasing Harry’s quote).
I remember saying on here that Tina’s book would be another palace propaganda piece & I was right. Tina might have set up feminist initiatives but like many others, Meghan brings out the bigot in her which is why she’s suggesting she’s a gold digger who will ‘trade up’ from Harry. Curious if that’s the palace’s line of thinking too.
The consistent narrative from people like Tina is that Harry’s marriage & his children don’t matter or aren’t his ‘real’ family & these royal ‘experts’ don’t even seem to realise how they are showing their racism by pushing this. They think they haven’t said the N word in print so their racism is concealed.
Tina comes across as extremely bitter & of course she doesn’t want Harry telling his own story & spoiling her grift. I wonder if she tried to get her own lunch with Harry or Meghan she can dine on for years, seeing as she knows mutual contacts & got turned down. Stay mad Tina.
Adding myself to the list of people that did not believe Brown’s book would be anything of merit or true palace revelations. Believe at the time of the announcement of her book, posting it would be a Meghan/H&M hit piece. Brown has been a royalist from day one. She was no friend of or to Diana.
Tina Brown’s misogynoir is showing. And why is she still pushing this Meghan is a gold digger trope? If Meghan really was a gold digger she wouldn’t marry Harry who was dependent on his father for money.
The tax payer dependent royals and their minions keep trashing the self made millionaire as a gold digger. The truth is their envy of Meghan stems in part from the fact that they don’t even support themselves.
Meghan earned her own money. Kate and Camilla never had to support themselves pre marriage
I wonder when Harry and Meghan will be left alone in peace
They will never leave Meghan alone. But they will leave Harry alone if he divorces her.
They will never leave them alone.
Harry would never be left alone he would resume being scapegoats by William. He and Meghan are married and happy with two children.
Divorce will never happen, and until the tabloids are brought to heel they will continue to feed lies and fake news to the public about H&M to make money.
Lol, what a strange comment. No, they wouldn’t leave Harry alone if they divorced – they’d be crowing and laughing at him for years for his “mistake” in marrying Meghan. But it will never happen.
@ROAA, wrong. They didn’t leave Harry alone before he met Meghan. Why in the f$ck would anyone think they would leave him alone if he left Meghan? Fool’s gold thinking. Harry’s purpose was to be the scapegoat for Will & Charles. Harry is completely aware of that.
When Charles calls off the hounds.
I saw an ad for a shirt, and it mentioned that Oprah, Reece and Meghan all wore this shirt. The amount of hate in the comments section made me wonder where the comments were coming from. People were saying how awful Meghan was and if SHE wore that shirt, well then they wouldn’t be ordering it.
I almost wondered if it were bots
This is why these haters are so annoying. They come our swinging hard about a shirt. Just hateful idiots looking for any place to spout their nonsense.
This woman is really out of her f*cking mind. Broke?! D-Listers?! Elon?! The psychotic racism and misogynoir is just screaming with this one. At first, I was like, look at her guest list. Then I remembered they’re all women… Of color. She could have Beyonce on and they’d still call her dlist bc Black women.
She really thinks Elon’s disgusting ass is an upgrade? YUCK!!!
I can’t believe how much traction this walking things back story has gotten. It’s popping up everywhere and it’s not even sourced.
This witch. She wouldn’t have the guts to repeat this garbage to an American outlet directly. Harry and Meghan can buy buy and sell Brown.
This woman is disgusting. Sounds bitter as hell and it’s really sad and pathetic that she at one time had some sort of credibility, but has lowered herself to spewing this trash. Just go the F away.
Yesterday I saw Brown’s book at Target at 30 % off.
First, the comment about Elon Musk is disgusting on so many levels. And unfunny. If you’re going for cruel rapier wit, at least be witty.
Someone mentioned that Tina is projecting and feels like SHE is the one with less than her wealthier neighbors. Fun fact: she has a house in Quogue, a wealthy and extremely WASPy enclave on Long Island. Last year she thought she had a deal to buy a new house (not one of the more expensive ones either, but a nice little historic one) but it fell through because a banker or hedge fund manager or something out-bid her.
I never thought I’d be on the side of the banker-wanker, but here I am.
Yes, Tina we know you, the RR, and the establishment are panicking about the lack of charisma, sheer pettiness and incompetence of C-Rex and his merry band of fools aka the RF. Worse, the PPOWs are boring AND lazy. Which will maybe generate pamphlets, not endless books/biographies.
Attacking Meghan gets her some attention but ridiculing their $14m mansion reeks of jealousy – how dare Meghan upgrade her “cottage”! She and PRINCE Harry were supposed to be living in a 2 bdrm apt on Crenshaw Blvd, panhandling on street corners. Did that cover all the stereotypes? Oh, she forgot to mention the number of bathrooms – a real Rota rat would never!
The anxiety attacks this memoir is causing is highly amusing though! Olympic level gymnastics of speculation surrounding its publication. I’m sure PRH is very grateful to you and the BM for the free publicity. Maybe some or all of that budget can be used to promote some new and/or lesser known authors. As for Elon Musk – is that projection bc all the money in the world won’t make that man attractive in looks or personality. But you’re welcome to him Tina. And sorry, but the Sussexes are A list NOW, which is all that matters. You’re the D lister! Congrats?!?
I can never understand the end game with articles like this…. the book and docuseries will be released, more than likely be extremely successful and debunk all this nonsense. These same people will then eat for six months attempting to discredit and mock the contents of both projects, wash and repeat. Is that the end game? This constant circle jerk of “Harry is weak and Meghan is bad?” And how long is that of any genuine interest to the average reader? Even on the DF website the derangers are getting bored.
I would quit my job if that’s how I got paid. Just from a self-respect perspective.
Meghan earned her own money from her career.tina is clueless
Brown knows this. She knows Meghan’s work history, what she was worth before the marriage and probably read her blog because that’s what you’d think she would do as a responsible author, but she ignores that. .She know she’s talking crap as well about the Sussexes home and their status. I wouldn’t be surprised if she tried to reach out to or ingratiate herself with them, either while they were still part of the royal apparatus, or when they moved to the US, and they ignored or rebuffed her. All of these people take Meghan just living, and being with Harry as a personal affront. This woman is no feminist and her racist slip is showing for all to see.
Never underestimate the vitriol a jealous, mediocre white woman can drum up for an accomplished, gorgeous, intelligent non-white woman.
This is tiresome and insane reaction, but totally expected.
Harry’s memoir is the story of his personal journey from the prince he was born to the MAN he became. Dear Tina, I’m sorry I don’t understand your so-called jokes. You need to work on that before you try your stand-up act again. Meghan’s friends have said that she wouldn’t have been interested in Harry the prince, but she WAS interested in Harry the MAN.
The brief on the memoir literally said its being written, NOT as the prince he was born, but as the MAN he’s become.
See: archewellDOTcom for more info.
Maybe the Sussexes can write a biography of Tina Brown and then they won’t be so ‘poor’.
Omg. She sounds so bitter. And desperate. Harry and Meghan are living their best life. Tina Brown is irrelevant to them. Sadly for her, she needs to hitch her wagon to them to stay relevant. Shame on her.
Maybe Tina can be Mrs musk and write a book about him
Tina had to bring up the Sussexes because nobody would hire her to talk otherwise.
The Sussexes are not Hollywood people. They don’t even live there.
If Meghan wanted, she could create a makeup empire or a GOOP–and they would be mega-rich.
I’m actually glad that TB now has a face like a plate of mashed potatoes. Her spite is all she has left, her glam girl years are gone and she’s reaping what she sowed. What goes around comes around Tina.
Ive noticed that her WomenInTheWorld thingy has gone radio silent. It was supposed to host an annual summit and they did, between 2010-2014 but that was it. They spun off into other related media products, etc but I’m not surprised we dont hear any more about it. I guess that faux-supporter of women realized that authenticity cannot be faked.
It’s not about Harry going back so much as Harry leaving Meghan. They want to be right. They want to say Meghan was a mistake, an anomaly. So they can erase her out of that history and then bring her down further. And watch while she suffer. And if she pulls herself together after then they can have a story of her rising or not. It really does not matter. Why do you think that many were so gleeful when Tiger Woods fell?
The Brit press has started doing their weird thing, where they speak of Meghan as if she and Harry have split up. Potentially dating Musk (eww). SHE is said to be shopping for homes. This is wishful thinking on their part.
“According to local reports, she has been shopping for a “private estate” in Hope Ranch, an upmarket community a few miles from their current home in Montecito.”
Isabella, and I immediately thought of Khate Wails! Is she telling us something? The only way I can make any sense of this is that she’s doing this to draw everyone’s eyes away from Fails&Wails’ marriage by attributing their problems onto H&M.
I wonder why she chose Elon Musk? People know that H&M have a really good marriage. They love each other and they work to make sure that their relationship and their children are of primary importance. This is just something that makes me think we’re really back to people covering up for Fails&Wails.
Hey, Tina, if you’re such a great journalist, how about you look up what Harry said about living in the spotlight as a royal even before he married the love of his life? He preferred life in a freaking war zone.
If you’re such a great journalist, why don’t you look up the “Archetypes” ratings and the podcast’s guest list to get a sense of the respect that Meghan has earned?
It is incredibly offensive — and racist — of Brown to suggest that Meghan would abandon the man who’s clearly the love of her life, too, for money. Especially money from Musk, who is the sort of craven, misogynistic monster that Meghan — a longtime champion of women — would avoid like the plague.
These attempts to erase Meghan, Archie and Lilibet from Harry’s narrative are disgusting. Tina Brown can go screw herself.
Does someone from the royal rota have dirt on Tina Brown or has she truly been brainwashed? She was criticized a few times for running a very expensive ship, which worked for her with print magazines, but against her with the rise of the internet. To me it’s odd that TB, who’s been accused of putting a price tag on everything, is using generic RR talking points for H&M.
If you want to get a sense of Tina Brown’s work in the magazine business, look up the Politico story “How to Lose $100 Million.”
Said one person who worked for her: “She made The Devil Wears Prada look sane.”
That is a very good read @QuiteContrary. Another one is Forbes-Why Tina Brown’s Newsbeast Derserves Your Skepticism. My favorite part is at the end. It encompasses (imo) how the RR’s/BM/BRF work. It’s what Brown is doing in this particular word salad. Again.
“Anyone who claims to be “proving out our investment so incredibly well”…while losing $10 million a year is spinning. Hard.”.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffbercovici/2010/11/17/why-tina-browns-newsbeast-deserves-your-skepticism/?sh=12ec84f2185a
Mentioning Musk as an option up is putrid. Alluding to anything like that shows how off the rails these people are.
Also a great read, @agreatreckoning!
@QuiteContrary and @AGreatReckoning, thank you very much for the articles!
Its face and spirit are giving Scammy Barkle.
Tina Brown will do and say anything to stay relevant. She used to be respected and is now reduced to being a member of the gutter press. Good riddance.
Ugh. When Harry’s book comes out and does *not* trash the royal family, they’ll say he edited it because TQ’s death.
Oh, ffs. If they are “D” (which they aren’t), then what the hell is she?
TB is an idiot. I checked on zillow and most of the homes in Montecito sold for under 10m in the past few years. Very very few of them sold for over 20m. That house is not a cottage. And TB obviously has no clue about LA/OC California real estate. LOL.
“…Tina Brown, who joked that “Elon Musk is still single” if the Duchess fancies trading up…”
Tee-hee. 👿 Not everyone is a money-and status-hungry moron. Dreadful bitch. 👿🤮🤮
I wonder how much she had left financially after her husband passed, especially if he had 3 children from his previous marriage. Also after bleeding through money at the magazines she was fired from, wonder if she had much of a golden parachute. Why else would she be so fixated on their coins?
Like the typical karen who’s fixated on the superior human being, Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, tinabrown’s net worth is estimated at between $100,000 and $1M. And theres no telling where along that range she actually falls. Some think its closer to $100,000 than $1M.
So that wd partially explain the hateful bitterness and envy. Then theres the jealousy……
And why for the love of all that is kedergree do these reporters act like Harry and Meghan haven’t invested their money several times over by now? Heck, having kids concentrates the mind very firmly on securing a solid financial future–the same way Diana did for Harry.
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/the-talk-about-tina/article22400639/
Saw this article posted on Twitter. Tina Brown has apparently been a very nasty piece of work for decades. Which bit her in the rear. Definitely makes sense that she comes across as so bitter.
Hi Sarem Thanks for the link, that was a fascinating read.
I just showed my aunt Brown’s photo and she said, that woman looks just like June Whitfield. For non Brits on here all you need to know is this: Tina Brown will spit feathers if she’s reading this post and realises she looks like June, after all that work to her face!!
Dang, that makes it even more embarrassing that these “D-listers” pulled all of the focus from the royal family, right?
While I have no doubt that compared to the bigwig investors and tech money in California, the Sussexes aren’t uber rich, they certainly have influence and know how to wield it. As the former editor of Vanity Fair, Brown absolutely knows this. She’s just pandering to get her name out there in the most cynical way she can. I’ll bet that little Elon crack seemed much funnier last week.
Oh! I was just thinking about this! They could decide to live in a shack in Alabama and people would still be interested in them. Meghan Markle is not famous for being an actress for most people but Harry is about as famous as you can get. The reality is that when people look at her, they’re not seeing her as an actress: She is a beautiful, caring, and charismatic woman married to the Good Prince. That means that all of us know of them and find them interesting, and then there’s a tiny population of people on Salt Island who are malfunctioning because their brainwashing isn’t working.
My money is on the whole “moving to hope ranch’ rumor was H and M testing the BRF for leaks at the funeral.
You can just smell the absolute condescension and rank disdain that Tina Brown for “the poors” as it were, and you can smell those same things on the breaths of literally every other BRF “”expert”” and ROTA rat.
These people truly think that being poor and destitute and the loss of one’s status are the worst things in the world. They think that is the height of humiliation that a person can suffer. They can’t comprehend why anyone would walk away from any of that, bc that’s just preposterous to them. They think everyone else in the world is just like them, that the things they value most (rank, titles, money, class, etc), are what must be valued by everyone else. They can’t really understand that there are more important things in this world, that there are people out there who see great value in not being subjected to abuse in exchange for these fleeting, material trappings.
They don’t understand that Harry could walk out of that royal family without a penny to his name, and wind up working as a Walmart greeter outside of Lubbock, TX, and that he’d still be a far more happy, respectable, dignified human being than any of those inbred, chinless members of the royal family that he left behind, who continue to live in miserable splendor. Harry and Meghan could have walked away from the RF, and wound up at the same council house that Carole Middleton grew up in, and they’d still be 100x superior than the pair of benefits scrounging, racist a-holes like the Wails, bc money, titles, styles, and status are not what decide how good a person is.
The fact that these people are just so hung up on stuff like titles, and styles, and money and status and whatnot says everything about what the actual root of their whole problem was. “Just by being there we upset the dynamic of the hierarchy.” The hierarchy is what matters to them, above all else.
This hierarchy was what Meghan was expected to “understand” by the scores of British commentators. She was expected to accept the basic premise that all human beings WEREN’T created equal. She was expected to accept that some human beings WERE better than others, not bc of what they did or accomplished, but bc of who they were born to, married to, and what title they had. She was expected to believe that, bc she was born as who she was, she was automatically worth less than other people in this family, and that being subjected to constant dehumanization and disrespect was normal and “a part of British culture”. Objecting on any level, to any of this, was considered as “bullying”. “Disrespectful to the monarchy”. “Disrespectful to the Queen”. “Disrespectful to the British people”.
So it’s easy to see why someone like Tina Brown, speaking to her particular audience in Britain, thinks that this is something that would be hugely insulting or something to Harry and Meghan, to talk abt how they’re so poor compared to others in Montecito. Bc that’s exactly the sort of sh-t that keeps up Tina Brown at night. This is all she knows and thinks is important in life. It would be sad, if it weren’t so disgusting.
Thank you for this wonderful summation of what is royalty and all it’s sycophants. It truly is a bizarre construct in today’s world and the people trying to defend an aged out institution sound demented with longing for a time long gone. The Sussexes are the future despite all the whining and name calling .
Knock it off, Tina, you loser. If they’re D list, what are you? Because you’re feeding off them, right? So what does that make you?
Leech after leech try to make a living writing sh##, being as nasty as can be, about H&M yet they screech to the mountaintops because Harry is writing his own story.
Miss Brown does not read or comprehend all Harry has said since leaving the royal family-genetic pain and not passing it on to his children-being able to mentally feel freedon of thought and action on his own terms-the feelings that his wife felt during those 2 years in the UK-the Uk media which Harry loathes with all his being-all the hating Brits along with their media should really read what Harry has said before Meghan and after leaving the Uk-their intelligence would grown immensely.
Harry would only return if he were willing to turn his back on his mother and everything he learned from her. This TB woman is off her rocker.
I remember having to change channels when Tina was on talking about what Camilla had to put up with. This during the queens mourning and funeral coverage.
Our Duchess Meghan is so wonderful, I love that she saw the forceful abuse Harry was being subjected to and that she cared and actually helped him and he’s really awake now to the abuse and now free to choose is the best outcome and I will love her forever. She’s amazing. Our American freedoms loving Duchess Meghan sees the Matrix and saves Prince Harry. I just keep hoping it’s finding freedom time. Thank you so much duchess and celebitchy
Diane left the royal family. And she was loving her best life after she left. So to assume she would give the opposite advise to Harry is nonsensical.
Also, accumulating as much money as possible is not the end game of satisfied and happy people. Meghan and Harry are rich. They’ll be just fine.
I find it weird how the RR and British media types generally seem to go out of their way to make the case the H&M are somehow irrelevant, yet they are the very same people who seem unable to stop talking about them ad nauseum. Make it make sense please?
But then I suppose considering where Tina Brown was and where she is now, maybe she is better placed to know what a D-list celebrity is than most of us….lol,
