Last week, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a surprise appearance at Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres’s vow renewal. There were zero photos posted of Harry and Meghan on social media, and the only reason people know they attended the last-minute event was because of some blurry shots of them in Portia’s video. That’s it. The vow renewal was full of celebrities, and Page Six would have us believe that one of the attendees is gossiping about what Harry did and said at the event. Apparently, Harry was telling people he has “no regrets” about Spare.
Prince Harry has “no regrets” about the bombshell revelations in his book — and is extremely proud of his memoir sales, Page Six is told. Harry, 38, was in great spirits as he spoke to fellow guests at Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi’s surprise wedding vow renewal ceremony last week.
One guest said that Harry, who was joined by wife Meghan Markle at the bash, seemed very proud of the success of his controversial memoir, “Spare,” which sold more than 3.2 million copies worldwide in one week.
“Harry said he was really happy about the success of the book and the reaction to it,” the guest told Page Six. “He said he had no regrets about any of the revelations, and he’s relieved to have got his story out into the world. There’s been an amazing reaction to it, he said.”
The source added that Harry and Meghan “seemed to be in extremely good spirits,” but politely sidestepped questions about whether or not they will attend the coronation of his father, King Charles, on May 6. As Page Six has reported, the King wants them to attend. But this week, another source close to the Sussexes told People magazine they had not yet been invited.
Do you think people were really asking him about the Chubbly at a party in California? Doubtful. I also doubt that this eyewitness saw or overheard anything, but it does sound truthy. I believe that Harry has zero regrets about writing Spare. I bet his only regret is the way the British media tried to hijack Spare and terrorize Harry about it, but even then, he was probably expecting it. Speaking of, Page Six also had this curious story about Harry and a “dealmaker.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have hired a big-time Hollywood dealmaker to help them rake in even more millions, Page Six can reveal. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are believed to have been introduced to Adam Lilling, who was crowned one Tinseltown’s top dealmakers, by their close friend Ellen DeGeneres, who has worked with Lilling for years.
The trio were seen mingling at DeGeneres’ surprise vow renewal to Portia de Rossi in Montecito, Calif., last week, and Harry was spotted introducing the money man to a fellow guest.
People have questioned how the Sussexes plan to make more money, and one industry expert who works with Lilling told us that he works at the “intersection of celebrity and venture investing,” adding that “he has worked with Ellen forever, as well as Matthew McConaughey and a bunch of A listers.”
“It’s very possible that Ellen introduced him to Harry and Meghan,” the expert said.
Lilling and his business partner Amanda Groves were named among The Hollywood Reporter’s “Top dealmakers of 2022” in December, along with 43 other power players “who brokered big-ticket pacts, cultivated content and built brands from scratch amid the streaming wars.”
LMAO: “People have questioned how the Sussexes plan to make more money…” Like, the Sussexes got extremely rich deals from Netflix and Spotify. Harry is making a lot of money with BetterUp. They’ve already gotten into venture capital. I don’t doubt that the Sussexes know a lot of dealmakers and that they have their choice of California’s best money managers and business dealmakers. But they’re already doing really well and they’re already very rich.

They are already impact investing, I’m sure. And money makes money. They have all they need now to live well forever. But they certainly can find ways to keep new money rolling in if they want. Sky’s the limit. And they can see the sky because they live in California, not in some dumb castle.
They’re with the investment company Ethic. So they’re already impact investing.
Thanks for confirming that!
I doubt PH gave anyone at the party that long drawn-out quote about the book. Maybe people congratulated him and he said thanks. If they are making more deals then good for them. He could even be hitting up some of these people for charity events.
M&H were at a party surrounded by friends so yeah, I imagine that at least one person congratulated him on the success of his book and perhaps they chatted about for a few minutes, like one does with a friend.
And this is all the scumedia needs: a grain of truthiness on which to build their fanfix.
Agree @equality. People were probably congratulating him on the success of his memoir. He most likely said thank you. End of. It’s not a jump to conclusions game believing Harry is proud of his memoir’s success. As anyone who has written a memoir would be. Breaking a Guinness Book of World Records and being a NYT bestseller would make me feel pretty good.
STOP THE PRESSES. HARRY AND MEGHAN SEEMED TO BE IN GOOD SPIRITS AT A PARTY/CELEBRATION. This is UNHEARD of. Who attends a party in good spirits? /s Shocking stuff revealed!
Page Six is trying to connect the dots (like a lot of us have already done). Personally, I haven’t wondered how the Sussexes are going to make more money. It is quite possible Ellen introduced H&M to Adam Lilling. He may or may not be the guy to the left of Harry in the renewal of vows video. THR article from December. Scroll half way down? Quite enjoy the pair’s favorite podcast.
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists/top-45-hollywood-dealmakers-2022/alan-epstein-4/
LOL! Like these two need a “dealmaker” or they might starve. 😂
Did they write their Netflix and Spotify contracts on the back of a napkin? How did they get to make a speech at the UN or meet the deputy Sec. General? They really act like the Sussexes don’t already know people and have connections, or deal brokers already. Seen at a party with a bunch of other celebrities talking to other connected people there. Sometimes it’s just chitchat. The press is utterly obsessed with everything they do, every interaction real or imagined, every possibility or “ what if” scenario. Anyway, Harry should rightfully be pleased about the book’s success and the conversations it’s generating.
@Brassy Rebel this is actually very common and normal to get deal makers. “Deal makers” are another way to say transactional lawyer. They negotiate the terms, amount paid and how many years, how many perks and sometimes “pitch” on their behalf when they already have extremely successful profiles (like H&M) ect. H&M would be foolish not to get the best “deal maker” to harness the momentum of their extremely successful recent ventures to get them the best possible deal and cement them as an international figures away from the BRF.
Word, Brassy Rebel.
I am never going to understand why there is a segment of the population that wants to see Harry and Meghan destitute. Sincerely, you need to go take care of your mental health, immediately, this is not remotely normal behavior.
Jealous are we???
Considering that Page Six didn’t know that Harry and Meghan were at Ellen and Portia’s party until the video came out I have my doubts about these stories. Absolutely no one asked Harry and Meghan about the coronation and they have their dealmakers already. But I can believe that he’s happy about the book. My regret is we didn’t get the 800 page version.
it’s a multi-book deal if i remember correctly? think we will get it at some point.
^^ There’s never been confirmation of a multi-book deal. Those reports came from tabloid media, not reliable sources. We have not heard anything from M&H or their spokespeople confirming these reports.
AMYBEE, Watch this space, as it’s coming
Those gutter rags stay in the Sussexes pockets. Pretty sure Meghan did not waste 7 years in the entertainment industry just working on her beloved Suits. I can only imagine with both of their connections the opportunities they have and how careful they are being with their associations. They are clueless. They are far too busy conducting imaginary polls re their US popularity to build up those folks in the UK who are pretty much destined to be relegated just to the UK where they belong.
It seems like the Murdoch tabloids (UK and US and throw in AUS too) have still not really come to terms with the scale of success that is Spare. The sale numbers are insane and there’s no way the publishers or Harry or anyone could have anticipated these numbers. I adore Prince Harry and did before Meghan (because of Invictus and how meaningful it is to injured vets around the world, including here in US) and pre-ordered and expected big numbers. Blowing out Pres. Obama numbers?? No. Realistically likely to hold the #1 spot in the records for decades (whose not yet published memoir is out there that could match this?)? No. Spare is not a success, it’s THE point of reference now for any memoirs and that’s wild. No doubt he’s “happy” about the success and reaction to it….lol
Exactly this. Unprecedented from a publishing success perspective but also literally historical from a British perspective. It’s too soon to truly appreciate the wide ranging societal & Royal history implications of his book because it’s simply groundbreaking in every sense of the word. I feel it could be a potential catalyst for the beginnings of monumental changes of outlook in the UK.
So many issues for much needed reflection arise from it too: the legacy of colonialism, British institutionalised racism/misogyny, how the monarchy truly functions, UK attitudes to mental health issues, exploitative mainstream media practices, how we treat/train our servicemen & women who undertake active service, the complex nature of familial abusive & generational trauma…the list goes on and on.
It is a deceivingly multi-layered book that gets you questioning many things you’d never even thought of before.
“Groundbreaking in every sense of the word” YES!!! Like you say, I really don’t think anyone has really grasped how impactful Spare is.
I follow some US veteran communities and that was my first inkling that Spare’s reach was much deeper than I originally realized. These aren’t Invictus communities and otherwise don’t (or at least not that I’ve seen) have any overlap with Harry coverage. And WHOA some of the posts discussing the section on his service, mental health, support to veterans, how civilians conceptualize “war” and what that means for re-integration…Spare was like this launching pad for some incredibly powerful think pieces from the vet community and pretty much across the board is the recommendation for vets, but also their families, to read Spare and use it as a conversation starter on really difficult topics that many don’t talk about.
I can see how that is similar (tho different of course!) in terms of the same happening wrt colonialism, Empire, the monarchy itself, UK media.
There’s just so much there, it’s reaching into so many diverse communities in a way I don’t think I can recall ever happening at all in my lifetime.
LadyE, you have dripped exactly the right amount of scorn, and I completely agree with you. I’m 48, and I realistically don’t think I will ever see an autobiography do anything like this again in my lifetime. I’m sure Harry and Meghan are just slightly thrilled.
Maybe Meghan’s book might come close, if published in the next 12-14 months. If the royals can do what they did to Harry their own flesh and blood, what did they do to Meghan, the world would want to know.
I really don’t want to disagree, because I would love for Meghan to write her autobiography, but she’s not going to be able to do Prince Harry numbers, at least right now. I hope in a few years it is a different story, because I want Meghan’s autobiography to happen.
I legitimately can’t think of anyone who could match Harry’s numbers, and that includes his brother, who probably thinks he could cause a seismic shift in the planet if he were to grace the world with his autobiography.
Harry has spent the years since Diana died trying to build something she would be proud of, and he has definitely done that. Willnot has spent the years since Diana died shitting on her entire life. The last thing he did in “remembrance” of his mother was put big blue on Kitty’s finger. Scratch that, there was definitely an aide in the room who put the ring on or near Kitty, and then another aide kicked it her direction.
It’s eating them alive that Harry and Meghan are not only already very very wealthy, but that their network of connections is broad and top shelf. The envy drips from every one of these gossipy screeds. It also consumes them that what they DO know about Harry’s and Meghan’s portfolio is tip of the iceberg, and they won’t find out until H&M launch a fully blown project. They have no sources; I’m highly skeptical that Harry talked to anyone who would run to Page Six with a report.
The podcast Smart Bitches Trashy Books has a fun and interesting episode today about Spare. The guest is Melissa Blue, a romance author who calls herself an Sussex squad member.
CARA, I laughed myself silly last night as Morgan the mouth tried to get the woman who “supposedly” was harry’s first sexual encounter, to say something nasty about harry, no matter how hard he tried she didn’t bite. Pity they didn’t have a blood pressure monitor on him the way he face went from, washed out (just like him) to pink to red to purple. Pure joy lol
Lol page six trying to act like they have some insider information. In this case, they do not. What a bunch of obvious stuff. Harry says he’s proud and had no regrets. Duh. Weak made-up tea.
JAIS, exactly, seems a day can’t go by without one rag or media page making money by printing CRAP about Megan and Harry. Megan and Harry have their own contacts and seems people in the “industry” like page 666, can’t handle it
I’m just posting to say “dang he look just like his daddy in this photo “. Scrolling on my phone his post came after his daddy’s post and it’s so obvious. I always thought Harry looked like his granddaddy but nah he is all Charles. Anywhoodle I’ll carry on with my day 😄
Like Charles’ way better looking cousin, lol.
Harry does look like Philip, though. He looks like both of them. They’re his grandfather and father, so it makes sense. It’s not as if Charles doesn’t look at all like Liz and Phil. He’s an unfortunate combo, but the resemblance is there.
Harry got a good combo. He looks like a Mountbatten-Windsor crossed with a Spencer (particularly Diana’s brother Charles). Genes translate in interesting ways.
I think Harry is good looking but his genes went hard on the Mountbatten/Spencer sides and less so on the Windsor. Queen Mary bred in some unfortunate characteristics that keep overpowering other genes in most of her other descendents.
Teenage Harry looks a lot like teenage Mary of Teck, complete with red hair. Zara, Anne, and Mary’s daughter Mary (Harewood) look like identical triplets.
@Alice I have to agree with you. He his Mountbatten all the way. I don’t know why Charles doesn’t look like his people. It’s so peculiar. I have to begrudgenly admit Charles peaked at 30-40 🫣😆
Why begrudgingly? Who looks their hottest at 74?
Can tell you that H and M are more wealthy than what is known. America has been good for them and they deserve every ounce of success (public and private) that they’ve attained!
When I think of this (i:e that H&M are more wealthy than what is known by their haters, including the RF) I feel so happy for H in particular, who, by his very own admission in Spare, came from a place of infantilization where:
“I’d never asked to be financially dependent on Pa. I’d been forced into this surreal state, this unending Truman Show in which I almost never carried money, never owned a car, never carried a house key, never once ordered anything online, never received a single
box from Amazon, almost never traveled on the Underground. Sponge, the papers called me. But there’s a big difference between being a sponge and being prohibited from learning independence.”
And this > this is sooooooooo relatable to every middle- and low-income household and now a literal Prince of the once great empire, the United Kingdom:
“The question of how to pay for a home and security kept Meg and me awake at nights.”
I’ll level with you—I’m a bit surprised that an event where Kris Jenner is not only present but front and center is the lifestyle Harry and Megan left England for. They won’t shake off the accusations of classless money-grabbing by chilling with the queen of classless money-grabbing.
Yeah. They should go chill with KC. He would never accept a big wad of cash from a questionable source. I think the “queen” of classless money-grabbing are the actual monarchs.
@Equality I must have missed the part of my comment where I said his family was awesome.
If they were consumed by all the accusations thrown at them, H&M would never leave their house.
They’re living their best life and writing their own story, and hurray for that.
I was also really, really surprised that Kris Jenner was the officiant. Had no idea she was that level of close with Hollywood stars (which the people at the party really are, like mainstream Hollywood movie and tv stars, not the broader Hollywood scene). Attendee- weird, but maybe she’s a neighbor. But, officiant? Whoa, that was eye-brow raising to me. It doesn’t to me have any impact on how I view H&M or who they choose to hang out with, I am sure they had no idea and they are and have been for a while close with Ellen. That’s why they were there, not for Kris. But, it did really surprise me about Portia because she would have been the one who asked Kris.
Kris Jenner has been around the Hollywood scene for decades. She probably knows everybody. And Hollywood is not like the British aristocracy where your family name has to go back 14 generations before you can breath the same air as everyone else.
Mmm, your comment seems weirdly hostile, not sure what’s up with that? I’m aware of Kris’ long history in the Hollywood scene (addressed distinction between stars and broader scene it in my comment!) and that Hollywood is not the aristocracy (??). Knowing everybody would explain an invite, not officiating a vow renewal.
Isn’t Kris Jenner some kind of official minister? Maybe of the online certificate type…. Something associated with the church she set up, maybe? That would mean she is legally able to officiate at weddings and therefore would be preferred for marriage vow renewals.
I vaguely recall she did it to officiate at somebody’s wedding years ago, but wouldn’t stake my life on it. People here in the US do that kind of thing sometimes.
@jwoolman really???? Whoa, you have just blown my mind! Kris Jenner set up a church?!? People sure are complicated aren’t they lol I would never have imagined Kris Jenner discretely officiating weddings on the side, seems totally out of left field for what I know about her (admittedly not much). She didn’t marry any of her kids though did she? I’m surprised, seems like a perfect story line for one of their shows
@LadyE, a quick google search will show that Kris Jenner & Portia/Ellen have known each other/been friends with each other for some time. KJ was actually ordained/certified in 2011. The first one she did was for her pastor Johnson and then Faye Resnick’s. The list of celebrities that have officiated weddings includes, not limited to: Tom Hanks, Ron Howard, Jamie Lee Curtis, Lady Gaga, Jonah Hill, The Rock, Jane Lynch, Kesha, Michelle Obama, David Harbour, Victor Garber, Queen Latifah and so on.
Nice Try Sharon. Nice try. Those that want to see Harry & Meghan as classless money grabbing people will do so no matter what. That’s it. Regardless of who they might be friends with or who else might be at the same party.
Check your glasses @Sharon. Andrew is standing riiiiight over there. He could probably teach Kris a whole lot about classless money grabing.
LOL!
Lol something tell me you already thought that of Harry and Meghan without the Kris Jenner stuff .
@woke what? What tells you that? Your assumptions? If I’m a fan of someone I have to defend every action or else I cease to be a fan? I didn’t realize liking someone required that level of blind commitment and adoration.
So now they are being vilified for a guest list that they did not make? You people are ridiculous always looking for a reason to degrade them it’s truly warped. I’ve attended events with people I never would have invited to my home. No one gets an advanced copy of the guest🙄.
I’m also positive there are many extremely wealthy business people and entrepreneurs who are eager for introductions to the Sussex’s. That will continue, I don’t think they will ever have to be concerned about finding projects or investments and as for money, so far they are the closest thing to Midas I’ve ever seen. Especially when you consider that they are turning every project into gold while dealing with the BRF and tabloids running a national targeted racist hate campaign against them.
Wasn’t their party, they didn’t make the guest list. I’d reserve this comment for whenever the Sussexes host a party and the guest list is somehow released and the Kardashian Jenners are on it.
Can we really make a thing out of a friend of a friend being at that friend’s party that you went to?
@nice try sharon: Since when was making deals with Netflix and Spotify classless money grabbing? You might be reading and believing too many tabloids.
When you get invited to someone else’s party do you ask for the right to vet their guest list?
Give it up, Karen!
You think the Sussexes control who Ellen and Portia invite to their parties?
Nice Try Sharon, Why are you hating on Kris Jenner? She has more integrity and loyalty than the Windsors.
Give me her any day over Charles as a parent.
This wasn’t Kris Jenner’s event and it definitely wasn’t the Sussexes. Doesn’t seem like any of the guests knew it was a vow renewal except maybe Jenner. They’re all grownups who apparently know how to conduct themselves at social events where not everyone knows each other. Imagine that? Party guests enjoying a party without openly judging the other guests for our amusement.
They attended a friends vow renewal (a friend who has done more to publicly defend them than any member of the royal family, I will add, even with Ellen’s well documented other issues). They were not in control of the guest list, nor were they in control of the officiant. They are good friends of Ellen’s and apparently close enough to her to invite her over for Halloween with their children and things like that.
I can’t stand the Kardashians but I’m not blaming Meghan for attending an event where Kris Jenner was also in attendance.
This is the US, most people don’t care how you make your money (unless you commit murder for it).
Not like England where you live in a run down castle, poor as a church mouse and holding on to classism.
Harry said himself that Americans tell you things to your face, and he is enjoying his freedom.
Well you showed your true colours quickly, didn’t you? Folks, label the t r o l l s and move on. They’re only going to get worse in the next six weeks and this site is the main bone in their craw.
@Sharon — I’d go to a party with Kris Jenner any day over a party with the rapist of a trafficked teenager. Classless money-grabbing is the BRF’s MO and has been for centuries.
H & M were GUESTS. wtaf, lol!
@ Nice Try Sharon says:
Touche!! For calling KJ “the queen of classless money-grabbing.”
@Nice Try Sharon : “classless money-grabbing” is an interesting phrase to unpack.
By and large, “money-grabbers” are high status males – think politicians and wealthy businessmen. They are most certainly the ones grabbing the most money as a class.
We are not offended by high class money-grabbers because society has put them in a position where money-grabbing is so common-place it is almost never remarked upon. No one even cared about KFC and his bags of Saudi cash.
It is only when your average Joe tries to get in on the grift that there is an uproar about it.
With that phrase, the “money grabbing” is not the offense, the “classless” part is.
Your upstart, or “classless” money-grabber offends precisely because they are going against the narrative, they are not high society enough to do this and should be pilloried for it.
This is why the term “classless money-grabbing” exists, it is to discourage the great unwashed lest they “rise above their station” and try to get themselves some of this upper-class money.
They have us policing ourselves with phrases like this, and we fall for it!
Do not get me started on what happens when your upstart is a woman, then they are a “classless money-grabbing gold digger” – they have us enforcing both an impenetrable class system and misogyny with one turn of phrase. There are many phrases like this and they are so ingrained we hardly ever unpack and examine them.
You are so wrong! Meghan wanted Harry and the RF to be proud of her. Instead jealousy , then vitroil and abuse subsequently started. Theyfelt threatened and hated. Terrible stories were being printed abt Archie and Meghan. She was feeling suicidal so Harry did what any Decent husband would do to protect her and got them out. It wasn’t at all easy for them but fortunately their faith helped them going forwsrd and the rest is history. Had nothing to do with becoming relevant in Hollywood, Meghan was lucky, she still.had many friends who wanted to help!!!!
NICE TRY SHARON, it wasn’t their event so they couldn’t control who was there, but I have yet to see any interaction with Jenner, and no matter who they are seen with, the media and rags will continue to post trash about Megan and Harry. And Megan and Harry will continue to live their lives happy, healthy and wise by ignoring the crap
This article is so dumb. First its “the Sussexes have hired a deal maker”. Then its ” they were seen mingling with him at Ellen and Portia’s party”. Talk about a leap across the Grand Canyon. They were polite to a dude at a party and all of a sudden he’s hired? Plus, anytime the Sussexes have hired people they announce it themselves and Page Six would be the last place they would ever speak with.
I do remember, during the year that they were quiet and adjusting to their move, Harry was sighted on deux moi having lunch outside at a private club with at least one VC/big time investor type.
I wouldn’t be super shocked if they did have something going with someone who describes themselves this way, that’s an intersection they live at as well. Good for them. It’s a hell of a lot better than getting PR advice from ex daily fail ppl, and then executing it poorly.
Wasn’t Kris Jenner there? I’m not aware of which outlets she uses, but I’ve read multiple times she works with some of them to promote her family so she could very well have given taht info to Page Six. After all it’s not much, Harry could have been congratulated on his book during the party and said he’s happy with it. And if somebody was rude enough to ask about the Chubbly, it’s not surprising they would sidestep the question.
Hahahahaha!! Oh my gosh, you are bringing multiple threads together here!! That is such a good and funny point- if there was a leaker, it was probably Kris Jenner! And, yes actually, Page Six is one of her and the Kardashians go to sites, so many of their story lines are planted there. I could see fairly innocuous gossip about H&M being traded for some other story about the Kardashians. That’s such an interesting suggestion too, I wonder if people have to awkwardly be like “hey Kris, you’re invited, but gonna need you not to plant a story about this with gossip sites”. Or maybe if she’s at a social thing, it’s kind of just everybody accepts they may end up in some Kardashian-adjacent gossip?
Kris Jenner may be many awful things, but she’s smart enough to know not to leak anything about the Sussexes because she respects them and is thrilled to know them, even something as simple as being at the same party with them.
Kris Jenner knows when to keep her mouth shut, for sure. She doesn’t want to be labeled as difficult, and cut from her fabulous life. I don’t think it has anything to do with loyalty to Harry and Meghan, it’s just her default setting. She knows who she can talk about without getting ostracized.
Two of these can be true, the Sussexes attended Ellen’s birthday/vows renewal and Lilling and his business partner were part of the top deal makers of 2022.
There is no need to infer that the two truths have any intersection.
There were announcements when some of the prior contracts were signed, but none to Page Six for obvious reasons.
This is similar to real estates dealers who use proximity to sell property in California.
I’m sure he’s thrilled with the success of Spare. Who wouldn’t be? He’s finally told his story and people were excited to read it/ listen to it.
I keep forgetting that he does not officially have a last name. He is Prince Harry although I read that if he did use a Sur Name it would be Harry Mountbatten Windsor. Which seems weird
Not really weird since it is the surname of both of his children. I understand that perfectly, I still use my married name even though I’m divorced, it was mine for 30+ years It is also the last name of my children and grandchild I have every right to use it, same for him if he chooses.
I wasn’t at Ellen and Portia’s party, but I can say with confidence that Harry is pleased his book is a world-wide blockbuster.
🤣🤣
Well said. I’m not a gambler but even I I’d bet a few pounds on him being slightly pleased with how the book has sold & been received.
Also, I know none of these people’s names (except Ellen and I’m a bit vague on that one too tbh). But I’d pick being stuck in a room for a couple of hours with any of them over being stuck in a life where I regularly have to be in rooms containing William/Camilla/Andrew or either Tindall any day of the week.
I tend to think all of this is made up. There was a “big” deal maker there. I believe that. I suspect that he was happy to make their acquaintance in the event he wants to see if they will be involved in some deal he has in future. If I was at a party where I knew the hosts well, but I knew others slightly, not at all, or enough to call them acquaintances, I would be quite surprised if someone DIDN’T say something like, “You must be very happy that your book is so successful.”
Do I think anyone asked about The Clowning at The Chubbly? No, I don’t. I just don’t get why the UK media thinks that Americans sit around spending energy on the brf. There could be a small, and I mean SMALL, number of people who follow the royal family and might care about this, but the vast majority in the US just doesn’t give a fig. I keep thinking that those that don’t following the brf at all–but read Spare–if asked about H&M attending The Clowning at The Chubbly they are probably thinking something like, “Don’t go, give them the finger!” The UK media really needs to understand Americans better.
Of course someone asked him about the coronation! C’mon
I don’t get it. The Brits are salty (and skeptical) about M and H earning tons of money through their own efforts. It deeply offends them somehow, thus their disbelief. They’re much more comfortable knowing that W and K are skimming the cream from their taxes and are funneling millions of dollars from the Duchy (“though it’s not really theirs,” but WHO would make them accountable?) Maybe it’s a culture clash, but I don’t really understand the acceptance and “rightness” of millionaire welfare for these scalawags. I guess the indoctrination has to start in the Early Years?
Sharon Osborne? Is that you?
I am truly happy for HaRRY’S success with Spare-I read the entire book and finished it last weekend-he has a haunting way of speaking about his ill treatment in the spare slot-I keep thinking about his small cottage, his clothing, and the downtrodden feelings of being less than-he and Meg have every right to make aliving for their own family apart from the royals-the royal family will extract pounds of flesh from all four of them to achieve their purposes of making the Sussex family look less than. Harry stated in his book his father prays all the time-I don’t know what bible his father is reading but his reaction or nonreaction towards his own son is truly evil and disgusting-it is said a son is a son until he takes a wife but a daughter is a daughter all of her life-Harry and Meghan are working and building a future for their own children-in America that is what most people believe parents should do. God’s speed to the Sussex family.
Come on, Kaiser. The Telegraph may have an inside source! The same Telegraph that publish Camilla Tominey and Valentin Low? Are you okay? If Harry and Meghan even dreamed one of their staff was whispering to any UK media, it would be an automatic dismissal, and rightfully so. Just reading this article, the author behaved in the typical tabloid fashion, taking excerpts from another article or interview and creating a new story. We read the Variety interview. The recent announcement from Archewell on the employee changes states Harry and Meghan will assume executive producer roles. Before Meghan married Harry, she was never everywhere. People knew of her through her role in Suits, which took her to media-related events, her blog, theTig, or Reitman’s promotions. People with the “Where is Meghan?” syndrome forget the RF was using her constant visibility as PR with undercover mental abuse. She let that go and returned to a more humane environment – home.
I’m waiting for all the royal gossipers to speak on Fergie’s trip to New York to promote a book no one knew she was writing. According to the article, she will talk about the Queen and answer a few questions about Harry and Meghan but not about her ex-husband, who is allegedly filing a defamation lawsuit against Virginia. It’s a loaded story, but the British media and morning talk shows are mum for a reason.
