Not sure that there are tons of roles for 40 year old actresses.
I don’t think she was getting a lot of attention during the down time when she was on Suits.
I just don’t believe that there are a ton of roles that someone like Meghan would get.
She said back in 2018 that she has no interest in acting again.

Its sad she had to give up her profession. She made so many sacrifices and took so many risks accepting him with all of his baggage, no wonder he feels so protective of her.

This was an interesting development.
How can anyone say such horrible things about anybody?

Exactly! I continue to have a difficult time understanding the level of hate concerning H and M.
The “apology” is miserably inadequate, extremely late and directed to the wrong person, in my opinion.

I think he apologized in an attempt to keep his programs from being dropped by Amazon.

Even if she married him for his status and money, he is a clinically/legally competent grown adult who is responsible for his own decisions. If he sees his mother in her and feels overprotective, its for him and his therapist to sort out.
Journalists can dislike and criticize her like everyone else but spewing hatred makes no sense. Why take it personally when its none of your business as a journalist.
If he was an heir or even #2, it would make sense for royal loyalists to be upset at him leaving. He was #6 when he left. If he is washing dirty family laundry in public to make a buck or billion bucks, its his family’s problem to deal with. All british tax payers need is to make sure he pays tax on that money or demand renunciation.
As a non-UK resident, he is only taxed on UK income. So his royalties in UK book sales are UK-taxable, but income earned elsewhere is not subject to UK tax

I forgot UK has a tax treaty with US.
Everything else aside, a moment of levity:
Full quotes from Jimmy Kimmel’s ‘The Prince and Penis’ book:
'At the chilly north pole, a silly young codger took a walk in the snow, and froze his wee todger. The skin was discolored, all purple and white. When Harry peered down, 'twas a terrible fright.
'Oh mummy, oh mummy! He cried with a scream, and from then on up high, she appeared with some cream.
‘My poor little prince, put this cream on your willy. It will lessen the ache and make it less chilly.’
‘But mummy, did you not put this on your lips?’
‘Oh yes, my dear boy, and also my nips, but do not delay or your k*** be destroyed.’
‘But mummy have you heard about Sir Sigmund Freud?’
'Mummy knelt down and gave him a squirt, into the trousers, where his Winkle still hurt.
'And lo and behold, like the calm from a storm, his frozen cold snotskick was suddenly warm.
'He laughed and he smiled, and he said to his mummy, you rescued the snake that lives under my tummy!
‘Then he tucked it back in and back to her cloud. His mother went soaring - and said this aloud: Should ever you have icy chills on your hard-on, just give it a rub with Elizabeth Arden!’

I enjoyed the Netflix series because of the issues it raised: the purpose of a monarchy in the 21st century, the relationship between the monarchy and the press, family relationships when there is a built in hierarchy, race, and people’s obsession with the rich and famous. It was thought provoking in many ways. I had no intention to read the book until I read this:

It’s also crude of him to release actual text messages from family members and only releasing ones that help his story. How can he really expect to reconcile? Even if they do, no one will ever trust him or feel comfortable to say anything to them that is substantive except shallow greetings.

So I found the answer to my question of when did Harry finally admit to himself that Diana died rather than “disappearing” to escape the misery the paparazzi inflicted on her constantly.
Harry went to Paris for the first time at age 23. He asked his driver to take him through the tunnel where the accident happened. The driver did as asked, and Harry had him drive through it again. He said that only then did the knowledge that his mother was dead finally hit him. He said the pain came over him as if he had just been told for the first time.
That he spent 10 years in denial before finally accepting the truth made me really sad. All those years he could have been dealing with his feelings of grief instead of spinning his wheels-acting out, unable to focus on school or any other meaningful pursuits- were years wasted imo. It seems that he only began to find some purpose in life (becoming a helicopter pilot for one) after his magical thinking came to an end.
It’s truly a shame that he didn’t get therapy after Diana’s accident. His life might have turned out quite differently.
ETA: Also quite extraordinary was that prior to his trip to Paris, Harry asked for and received much information on the car accident. He was granted access to photos of the inside of the car with all of the victims still inside (photos taken by “paps” and subsequently confiscated by police on site). He said that his mother looked completely unharmed, no disfiguring injuries at all. These photos made him even more convinced that the entire thing was staged in order to help Diana escape life under so much scrutiny. That chapter was very moving.

I still find myself thinking that my late nephew is going to walk through the door at any minute. Part of my brain still can’t wrap itself around the idea that he’s gone for good, even after 7 1/2 years. It’s really weird. I could accept my mother’s death, because she was 82. But 20 for my nephew? 36 for Diana? Ack.

Let’s see if he gets invited to and decides to attend his dad’s coronation. I think they’ll send an invite to look unfazed as well as to extend an olive branch. He is likely going to attend to show his willingness to engage and also because his revenue streams depend on keeping this drama alive.

They are going to want to attend because they love the cameras and publicity.

Last night I watched Harry’s full interview on Colbert on youtube; the one shown was edited. One thing of note in it was that Harry fully acknowledges that most people suffer terrible grief at some stage of their lives and that lots of people have suffered as much as he has. He said the issue was that he was never allowed to talk about his. As I understand it, he wasn’t saying he couldn’t see a therapist then. He was saying that he couldn’t talk about Diana’s death with any member of his family. Conversations about emotions of any sort were taboo. He said that his family was very opposed to him seeing a therapist and said something like–I don’t remember the exact words–they still think he was kidnapped into a bubble of psychobabble. They see consulting a therapist as a display of weakness. I don’t remember if I read it or heard it, but allegedly William tried to insist that he come along to one of Harry’'s sessions to make sure he wasn’t telling the therapist anything he shouldn’t.
It seems Harry wanted William to come to a session but he declined. He thought therapist isn’t helping Harry because Harry is behaving irrationally and want to leave his home, family, friends, family business and country.
Since Harry is the only one talking, we only know his interpretation of the story.
Is this a tabloid?
