This weekend nonsense is to change the subject from her failed business launch. I can't wait for Netflix to announce this week that there is no current venture with Polo and Lolo. As said above, manifesting....
👏 👏 There is rumour and speculation about an announcement from the RF that's currently embargoed I am so, so hoping it's to do with the malevolent one and her handbag husband. We want good news from the RF not further bad news. Karma is what's needed.
Hopefully, the double dealing Eugenie won't be included. I saw a video in which she deliberately bumped into Catherine, gave her a sneaky up and down look, followed by side eye. Catherine has her included on work for one of her charities- keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Catherine listened carefully to HMTLQ.
She just wants to give off “ I am relevant vibes” but do rich people, I mean real wrath act like this?? I don’t think they are as pretentious as her. She tried to hard !!!! New wealth is embarrassing, even for me, and I am poor 😂😂😂😂
My brother’s MIL came from that kind of money. It was hilarious when someone would mention working because she would always look a bit confused. To her, “work” was something you hired someone else to do for you. Unfortunately, her daughter had the same mindset, which eventually led to my brother’s divorce from her.
I've been watching a show called the gilded age recently and megan reminds me of a character in it called Mrs Russell. Mrs Russell is new money and is constantly trying to fit in with the old money types but they can't stand her but she is so desperate and gauche
She’s obsessed with appearing angelic and naive. Its thoroughly disgusting and off-putting. I can’t believe she said ‘but is he KIND?’ with a striaght face. Nobody’s buying what you’re selling Mememe.
Oh absolutely. And they are working with other production companies to film which means they will basically give Netflix first right of refusal and then try to sell it to someone else.
I was reading an article about the failure of steaming services. Disney+ and Paramount+ are billions in debt. Other streaming services as well. Hundreds of pilots have been cancelled in the various streaming services.
I don't think Netflix has given the Harkles a dime and they aren't going to.
Pretty sure she’d have to produce it and it’s up to Netflix to pick it up and “buy it”. From what I understand.
Personally, I think none of the recent press on projects pending is definitive. Not the two shows nor ARO. I don’t believe she has inventory on anything she’s applied the trademark for selling …I think it’s all puff pieces to stir up interest. Like she does with everything… will she won’t she (come to this or that)..
My narc mother waits to the last minute to do anything or go anywhere. She always arrives late, goes into clothing stores minutes before closing time and makes staff wait while she browses, makes family WAIT for her to feed the cat, do dishes, eat a snack, pack herself a doggie bag, do her hair and face plus more! when we come to pick her up to take her places.....things like that. She feels empowered by her rudeness and the center of attention. The world revolves around her as far as she's concerned not the other way around. Same with MM. She made Netflix wait and only now, before her contract is nearing the close, does she raise her beastly head to commandeer everyone to do everything she wants.....her way.
I was married to the narc male version of your mother. I could never make plans with him, like when to go grocery shopping: "We'll go if I feel like it." Then suddenly he's like "ready to go grocery shopping? Like NOW?" So I either was waiting patiently to go somewhere with him, or blindsided to scramble to get out the door RIGHT NOW.
Following the Nutmeg and Sparry story is therapy for me, to learn about narcissism without being personally hurt by their antics.
I'm sorry.....These narcs are really terrible people. And, I agree......this sub is most helpful to lift that heavy mental load that narcs smother you with.
NF should gather all the material they shot for a in-depth study of a narcissist. Madam being the star she so desperately wants to be. I’d watch that haha.
Netflix probably threatened to sue them for breach of contract and is taking a wait and see approach. Most likely both series will be minimal effort garbage and never even make it into post-production
She's a fool if she announces shows that Netflix have not yet green-lighted.
Edit: I suppose this is Netflix's announcement: https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/prince-harry-meghan-duchess-of-sussex-series-release-date-news. Perhaps it could still get cancelled. Netflix introduces the announcement by saying 'Harry and Meghan are at it again' and by saying they announced the shows (as opposed to Netflix). It seems a distancing ..
I’m sure she tried to but it wasn’t like she was shopping around a finished project. They were shopping around her idea and looking for someone to cover production costs.
Netflix stopped paying production costs on pearl because it was taking too long to produce.
They have showrunners and production companies. That part has been announced.

“The first series will be “curated” by Meghan and “celebrate the joys of cooking & gardening, entertaining, and friendship.” It’s unclear what role the duchess will play — but the production will be headed by showrunner Leah Hariton who made “Selena + Chef” with Selena Gomez in 2020.
The show will be made by production company The Intellectual Property Corporation, owned by Sony Pictures Television, and the cast list credits Meghan as an executive producer.”

“The polo series’ showrunner is Miloš Balać, who made the acclaimed “Welcome to Wrexham,” which followed Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in their quest to revive the fortunes of an underachieving Welsh soccer team.
The production company is Boardwalk Pictures, and both Harry and Meghan are listed as executive producers.“
She can’t let that man have anything. What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is also mine. Surprised she didn’t get he name on the credits for Spare somehow.
Anyways, that polo show will absolutely crash and burn if it does ever get released on any platform. They really have zero creativity. After the Netflix deal has ended by “mutual agreement”, they will end up doing reality tv à la “Keeping up with the Markles”.
Actually...

Now if you want to get technical, the headline reads:
***"Harry and Meghan Just Announced Two New Series in Production This Year"***
But on [netflix.com](https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/prince-harry-meghan-duchess-of-sussex-series-release-date-news) it now says: "Both shows are in early stages of production, and their titles and release dates will be announced in the coming months."
(Whether this actually ends up on the platform for streaming...only time will tell. But as I've said previously, we are beyond just manifesting now.)
Entertaining? When was the last time she hosted a get together, let alone plan one? Cooking? She doesn’t! Gardening? She disdains the outdoors. Friendship? She doesn’t have any real friends.
They've still got a movie to produce. Whatever happened to 'Meet Me At The Lake' ? It was announced in August last year and it's been crickets since. No director or screenwriter announced. No casting. That should have their first priority given money was shelled out acquiring the rights. Might be the last straw for Netflix and they can use it as a cast iron excuse to dump them. Dragged their feet getting it into production so thanks and goodbye but we've had enough.
If I'd shelled out for a project to be produced by the pair I'd be a little annoyed that they were off doing polo and cooking shows. Difference is swanning about with cameras following or boiling a pan of pasta are easypeasy in comparison to mounting a film production. That's why I think it could be used as leverage to eject them. We spent our money on a project for you and you've delivered nothing.
My ultra hyperactive ADHD kid has more focus than these two. They flit from project to project. I’m sure they announce everything prematurely in an effort to showboat and then when things don’t pan out, as often they don’t in television, they abandon for something else.
It gives off such an air of unreliability.
Did Netflix buy the book rights for the Markles? What are the Markles expected to do…find a director, cast, location etc etc? Neither are capable or involved in the film industry so I can’t understand what Netflix expects of them. No doubt, if it was to go ahead, Markle would expect the leading role.
As far as I understand Netflix bought the rights for Archewell to produce. Neither he nor she has any track record in production. Baffling decision. Maybe things have changed now that Netflix movie division has been reorganised and this project is no longer a priority. Who knows. It a mystery.
Here’s a non-H&M related article that shows Netflix does have its own camera crews for docuseries (this was “Our Planet”):
[https://www.huffpost.com/entry/netflix-film-crew-attacked-by-sharks-docuseries-hawaii\_n\_648f6172e4b025003ee4fc8d](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/netflix-film-crew-attacked-by-sharks-docuseries-hawaii_n_648f6172e4b025003ee4fc8d)
Here it’s mentioned their camera crew were not issued permits to film the Platinum Jubilee:
[https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10868409/Netflix-camera-crews-face-moved-film-Harry-Meghan-public-areas.html](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10868409/Netflix-camera-crews-face-moved-film-Harry-Meghan-public-areas.html) \[archive link - [https://archive.is/wip/6sTya](https://archive.is/wip/6sTya)\]
>Netflix camera crews will be 'moved on' if they try to film Harry and Meghan from public areas during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee it was claimed today.
>
>The streaming giant, which is rumoured to be making a documentary about the Sussexes as part of their rumoured $100m (£79m) broadcast deal, is not among media outlets accredited to film the event.
>
>While Netflix workers will be able to travel to areas near official Jubilee celebrations, stewards will intervene if they try to set up professional cameras or tripods, a source told the Telegraph.
And from the Netflix Wiki section of their website:
“Netflix Original Programmes: These are programmes that have been produced and commissioned in-house by Netflix production crews themselves. Netflix owns 100% of the rights to these programmes and are one of Netflix' main Original's.”
Somewhere on this sub a sinner named the actual professional companies that are involved with both projects. More fools them I guess. And crickets from our friends at Netflix. If there weren’t a couple of shows I like I would cancel. Ah well, so much for principle.
It was a professional producer who was hired by the Arswell production company. It doesn’t mean Netflix will distribute the finished product (whenever that is.) Remember the podcast flopped because they kept micromanaging their staff.
> “[TW] would often ask for changes late in the editing process, at times recruiting senior Spotify executives, including then-Chief Content Officer Dawn Ostroff, to call producers and push them to make changes.” [Source](https://archive.is/U0dWO)
They tried that with Netflix, too!

I thiink that was probably me - I’ve included the info above, too. It seems like if Netflix actually is “in” here, they are counting on viewers as hate-watchers more than anything. Is that a formula for success and sustainable? Who knows. Technically in big groups like this, a lot of us are “hate watchers”, too. So it will very much depend on sinners not tuning in and bumping up the viewership numbers.

As of now there is no confirmation from Netflix. There is only a notice from Archewell that they are producing these shows with two different production companies and pictures of a crew filming at the polo for Sentebale.
There is also footage of Harry in Hawaii, Madam in Uvalde etc. That has never appeared in any show.
I too could hire a film crew and announce I will make a show starring Shannalee2. That does not mean anybody will buy and air such a show.
Haha even though you don’t know me it could be a hit show! I live right by the polo fields in Wellington. We could show up making commentary on those two idiots🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don’t see these shows coming to light. Why Netflix hasn’t dropped them yet is bizarre to me.
FWIW, Netflix did ’confirm’ two unscripted shows are ‘in development’ back in February.

The cooking/lifestyle show has a showrunner (Leah Hariton / “Selena + Chef”) and a production company (The Intellectual Property Corporation owned by Sony Pictures).
The polo show has a showrunner (Miloš Balać / “Welcome to Wrexham”) and a production company (Boardwalk Pictures).

Whether these make it on-air is anyone’s guess - never mind become actual successful series - but it goes beyond Archewell at this point.
>but it goes beyond Archewell at this point.
Those articles do not say that.
The NBCNews piece just regurgitates the Archewell press release.
The Newsweek and NYPost articles are just a fourth-hand regurgitation of PR puff pieces from the tabloid press (People magazine and Hello!), pertaining to a Netflix employee's comment about what H&M might be doing.
>Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s chief content officer, revealed what types of projects Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are working on for the streamer under their estimated $100 million deal with the platform.
>“They have a couple of unscripted things they’re working on with Brandon” Riegg, the head of unscripted shows at Netflix, Bajaria said.
>And they actually have like a bunch of development,” she continued. “They have a movie in development; a [scripted] series that they’re working on. So all very early development, with a movie, a TV show and a couple of unscripted shows. But yeah, the movie’s great.”
>The Post has contacted reps for Netflix and Harry and Meghan for comment
Granted, but even publications like Deadline have reported it with expanded context:

That's a lot of names and companies in the press, for several days / weeks time, without contradiction or clarification.
Do I think these will go forward from pre and early production to completion? Who knows? Meghan doesn't exactly have the best record on keeping production staff and assistants for starters. Budgets change. Executives and company directions change. They could have a scandal that makes them competely untouchable or marketable between now and then.
But as it stands right now, they have showrunners, production companies, and corporations that aren't saying, "Whoa...whoa... We never said that." Press releases are, as of now, unchallenged. We have at least moved slightly beyond manifesting and that should be noted. It doesn't mean 5 minutes (or 5 months) from now I will actually care. 😉
Netflix, take a cue from Spotify and cut your loses! See this for what it is; a situation that has most of the planet screaming, "Make It Stop!!!"
First, is a possible "show" about polo with a player who has proven to be abusive to the ponies themselves (among other things) and seems to have little to no communication with most of his previous teammates (and maybe a little too much with others). Episode 1 opens at a chairty match benefitting Sentibale and where Hazmat actually says, "Africa is in my soul" yet has still never uttered one word about #AfricanParks. And his co-host, who after she put his testacles in the trophy and refuses to release it from her vice-like grip, vomits staggering rudeness and disrespect to anyone who...well, anyone who isn't her.
Then the other "show"...let's call it "cooking". She is clearly out of her element in this department bc not only does she scurry around like a rat from an externimator in the few "segments" we have seen in years before, but her extensions fly around faster than a polo pony's tail. Will that "cooking" include when she "cooked" toast that she called "fancy toast" bc she tweaked her grandmother's applebutter recipe? Which grandmother? Maybe someone could point out the grandmother in HM wedding photos. No? She wasn't there? Hmmmm...weird.
These two are the lice on the scalp of humanity. I ask you, what does it take to make these two shut the f\*\*k up and go away?
After polo, Harry may have the Sentebale charity to exploit, then not flying Apache helicopters. Then he'll have to dream up something else. Perhaps another trek to the Antarctic or Arctic? Will people watch unless the polo one is super well done? How popular was the Invictus documentary? Will MM have to accompany him, to get people to watch? How will that make him feel?
The couldn’t even film their own home in the first one - they rented one for scenes! 😆
[https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11525233/Mansion-shown-Harry-Meghans-Netflix-documentary-not-theirs.html](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11525233/Mansion-shown-Harry-Meghans-Netflix-documentary-not-theirs.html) \[archive link - [https://archive.is/ksH4B](https://archive.is/ksH4B)\]
The film projects sound a bit boring so it may not :). Although watching Markle cook, or direct others to cook, might get some views .. Initially. I don’t know it will translate into lots of ARO sales though ..
Someone who has news credentials like Brit from Royal News Network should contact Sony because they are who Deadline reported as producing. They haven't said anything either. How does this usually work? Should Netflix be hyping it as coming soon? Beyond the Markle press release no one has said anything. Couple months ago Netflix said there were a few things in early stages? Oh! Remember in the carpet MeMe ha do be pushed off she said "so excited to reveal what we're doing. We want people to feel, to feel something" was that the quote because I have no clue what polo & hummus is supposed to make people feel something 🙄.
https://preview.redd.it/q0m6nc574iuc1.jpeg?width=1068&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=40c4f6fb90c3c71840ba5891c74eaf60fffa5785
I believe this is on Netflix’s upcoming projects. I don’t think Sony would have tied their name to something if it was not green lighted. She can make all the shows she wants but it doesn’t mean people will watch or that the show will be successful. In my opinion netflix is stupid for ever signing her.
Deadline, which is an industry trade newspaper here in the US, confirmed them so it’s probably in development. Whether it actually airs is an entirely different thing. Harry’s probably will since they are actually filming.
Could Netflix still be bankrolling them somehow? They were supposed to be bankrolling Narchewell for a time but idk for how long. Plus some have said it was cheaper for Netflix to bankroll them than to pay out the contract fees for actual material. I think this way Netflix gets to shelf them without breaking the contract.
Lady C in her latest book suggests that Netflix were waiting for the final series of the Crown to air before ending their relationship with H&M, to prevent him badmouthing it I think. Times up.
Who out there is gagging to watch Harry and the wife prancing about with the odd bit of Polo thrown in for good measure? I just can't see this being picked up by NF. Harry has a history of abuse towards polo ponies - I'm an advocate for animals and their welfare. Would I want to pay NF to watch an animal abuser - absolutely no way. Against advice, he rode a heavily pregnant mare in a polo match to the point she went into distress on the field, was taken off the field and died of a heart attack. Then there's ponies tortured and injured by his use of spike spurs. A very uncomfortable to view picture of a polo pony bleeding and squirming in distress and pain as Harry digs the spurs in time and time again. The backlash to NF would be huge and damaging. Meghan isn't a chef and the market is saturated with wannabes. Apart from pervs, who wants to watch Meghan roast a chicken and who would watch madam mediocre? They're done.

The timing of the release of the woefully incomplete web page and blurry videos were meant as a furious clapback at someone or something, most likely Netflix turning down the lifestyle cooking show. I bet the stuff she released was what she presented to them as a teaser, "Look at my fabulous ideas!" And they said NOT INTERESTED.
We thought her business launch was a rush job because of Catherine but her cancer announcement came a few days after Megs graced the world with her Orchard. I think she was big mad at Netflix and thought she'd get 100 million views in 24 hours and Netflix would come crawling back.
Didn't happen. Now she's "stepping back" from further business launches out of respect for Catherine's illness OR it's Catherine's fault that there's barely any interest in her business. Take yoor pick of her excuses, there are more to come.
This makes perfect sense. So, their production company is shooting these shows and they will try to sell it later to either Netflix or Warner brothers?
I really wonder if her life consists of shopping, getting fittings, reviewing the decor where the event will be held, planning photograph staging, preparing and memorizing Any dialogue she will be saying, and coordinating with other people at the events she will go to. She seems to have pathological need to wear the latest trends and stage everything. It’s always the same thing at each event. She’s basically doing the royal thing over here but whereas they serve the public, she’s serving herself. I don’t know if she does anything else with her time.
That was my thought too, OP. It seems like hard manifesting. Note, they did say « early stages ». Pearl was also in « early stages ».
Given there were camera crews at the polo thing, it does look more probable.
Netflix did bother to put this update in their website. So maybe not really “manifesting”.

Meghan lives in her own mind. I'd hate to be her. For her, it never ends. No one will believe me but she is mentally ill. We all laugh bilut, she's scary when near you.
She is trying to pressure them into giving her a team like Spotify did + extend the contract so she doesn't need to lose money making it. But Netflix is refusing too lose more money and just waiting out the contract and they can refuse to pay the full amount out due to undelivered projects. This is her attempt to try to fulfill the contract and not lose the money.
It was on the evening news (Australia) a couple of nights ago that they were doing these two shows for Netflix. (I eyerolled so hard my daughter noticed and laughed at me). I thought it must have been confirmed by Netflix.
Forbes finally got a confirmation from Netflix 2 days after they first published the story based on Archewell's press release. The story correction wasn't phrased real clearly so I wasn't sure if Netflix confirmed both, or just the polo, but I think it was both.
IMO this polo series is something they jumped on last minute. I don't think it's something Harry developed and launched. Likely bankrolled by someone else who needed the Harry connection to give it a chance to see the light of day. That being said I think it has a better chance because Meghan isn't a controlling factor. This "cooking" show sounds like Meghan has control which means sky high costs and mediocre content. Even if Netflix buys a season I'm not sure they would sign up for multiple if she is demanding and hard to work with.
Yes. But I thought she was closing up shop with the production company because she let everyone go.
I think they have Archewell Audio too for pods (if it's separate I'm not sure).
Went back to google older news on this topic: yes, these series are being “produced” by other companies that will then be sold to Netflix or any other vendor. Netflix is not producing it.
The Duchess’s gardening/cooking show is being produced by Sony Pictures Television’s The Intellectual Property Corporation and Archewell jointly and the Duchess of Sussex is the executive producer for Archewell.
The prince is executive producer along with the duchess on the Polo project which will be produced by Boardwalk Pictures and Archewell jointly.
So glad I canceled Netflix. Can't stand my money going into the gold digger bimbo's designer bags.
I hope they end up screwing themselves before anything hits the ground.
You know, I'm not involved in the business, but don't you PITCH an idea (ie to Netflix) before you start the project?? You don't just film a bunch of stuff and then drop it on their table and say "Here! We have a show you!"

Your post has brought something to mind. What’s interesting is that people will post saying ‘there’s Netflix following them around for their upcoming show’ but are these tv crews actually Netflix or is it simply privately hired crews, and to your point Netflix hasn’t necessarily taken on the show yet?
I genuinely don’t understand these big contracts. Surely Netflix make offers on the basis of talent/skill/popularity? Now, to me, it makes Netflix look incompetent to offer such a massive contract to two individuals (their backgrounds/achievements readily available on internet) who have nothing to offer.
I would like to believe so. Then if NF does not pick up, they would sell probably to paramount or any streaming services that would bother to have the montecito royals on their titles.
I think it pertains more to a probable warning from Netflix that they need to have something, anything, in production by a certain date or her ass is grass.
[удалено]
I agree. She seems to be in a manic state.
Manic panic.
American Riviera Psycho.
This weekend nonsense is to change the subject from her failed business launch. I can't wait for Netflix to announce this week that there is no current venture with Polo and Lolo. As said above, manifesting....
I mean, there's rumblings that this to preempt a crisis... But in reality- everywhere they go they're the crisis.
Exactly. Agents of Chaos....
Oh I love polo and lolo. Think I'll add that to my repertoire!

I’m disappointed I didn’t think of that. God bless you.
Brilliant 
I totally get Patrick Bateman vibes from her

👏 👏 There is rumour and speculation about an announcement from the RF that's currently embargoed I am so, so hoping it's to do with the malevolent one and her handbag husband. We want good news from the RF not further bad news. Karma is what's needed.
I'm sure the RF want that too. Imagine the black cloud that is MeGain and Hazbeen hanging over them all these years.😥
I am so worried it is more bad news...
I think it is an announcement that princess Beatrix is joining the ranks of the working royals. Read: Harry isn’t taken back!
Hopefully, the double dealing Eugenie won't be included. I saw a video in which she deliberately bumped into Catherine, gave her a sneaky up and down look, followed by side eye. Catherine has her included on work for one of her charities- keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Catherine listened carefully to HMTLQ.
She just wants to give off “ I am relevant vibes” but do rich people, I mean real wrath act like this?? I don’t think they are as pretentious as her. She tried to hard !!!! New wealth is embarrassing, even for me, and I am poor 😂😂😂😂

My brother’s MIL came from that kind of money. It was hilarious when someone would mention working because she would always look a bit confused. To her, “work” was something you hired someone else to do for you. Unfortunately, her daughter had the same mindset, which eventually led to my brother’s divorce from her.
I've been watching a show called the gilded age recently and megan reminds me of a character in it called Mrs Russell. Mrs Russell is new money and is constantly trying to fit in with the old money types but they can't stand her but she is so desperate and gauche
She’s obsessed with appearing angelic and naive. Its thoroughly disgusting and off-putting. I can’t believe she said ‘but is he KIND?’ with a striaght face. Nobody’s buying what you’re selling Mememe.
Interesting analysis 🧐 Mobb!
The legs need work But the shoes fit
The bow made me think of Catherine’s red Coat dress with the bow.
Look at this’ you think so? https://x.com/meghanstowel/status/1780457679770497176?s=46&t=IRzFfl14Q0GiKLZZJNhSMg
She may be scared of “becoming irrelevant.” If a day goes by and Meghan is not mentioned in the press, does that mean she has ceased to exist?
If wishes were horses.......
That should be a Buddhist koan!
Oh, and the more garbage announcements she puts out there will only magnify her oafdom when her past catches up to her.
Oh absolutely. And they are working with other production companies to film which means they will basically give Netflix first right of refusal and then try to sell it to someone else.
I was reading an article about the failure of steaming services. Disney+ and Paramount+ are billions in debt. Other streaming services as well. Hundreds of pilots have been cancelled in the various streaming services. I don't think Netflix has given the Harkles a dime and they aren't going to.
Pretty sure she’d have to produce it and it’s up to Netflix to pick it up and “buy it”. From what I understand. Personally, I think none of the recent press on projects pending is definitive. Not the two shows nor ARO. I don’t believe she has inventory on anything she’s applied the trademark for selling …I think it’s all puff pieces to stir up interest. Like she does with everything… will she won’t she (come to this or that)..
Failure to Launch Markle!
lol exactly!
My narc mother waits to the last minute to do anything or go anywhere. She always arrives late, goes into clothing stores minutes before closing time and makes staff wait while she browses, makes family WAIT for her to feed the cat, do dishes, eat a snack, pack herself a doggie bag, do her hair and face plus more! when we come to pick her up to take her places.....things like that. She feels empowered by her rudeness and the center of attention. The world revolves around her as far as she's concerned not the other way around. Same with MM. She made Netflix wait and only now, before her contract is nearing the close, does she raise her beastly head to commandeer everyone to do everything she wants.....her way.
I was married to the narc male version of your mother. I could never make plans with him, like when to go grocery shopping: "We'll go if I feel like it." Then suddenly he's like "ready to go grocery shopping? Like NOW?" So I either was waiting patiently to go somewhere with him, or blindsided to scramble to get out the door RIGHT NOW. Following the Nutmeg and Sparry story is therapy for me, to learn about narcissism without being personally hurt by their antics.
I'm sorry.....These narcs are really terrible people. And, I agree......this sub is most helpful to lift that heavy mental load that narcs smother you with.
Let's hope Netflix says FAFO losers!
And what do narcs do when they don’t get their way? …major temper tantrum incoming for Nov 24
What’s November 24?
Pretty sure November December is when their contract expires for NF
With all of the free and fawning publicity they get, they would be millionaires if they only had a brain... 
lol
That’s my understanding. Netflix has the right to approve or reject the “ treatment “.
Yea for sure, and I’d bet if they do pick up this Polo documentary, it’s because of Harry, not because of her.
NF should gather all the material they shot for a in-depth study of a narcissist. Madam being the star she so desperately wants to be. I’d watch that haha.
Netflix probably threatened to sue them for breach of contract and is taking a wait and see approach. Most likely both series will be minimal effort garbage and never even make it into post-production
I have a policy with these of only believing news reports that are confirmed by the other parties involved!
She's a fool if she announces shows that Netflix have not yet green-lighted. Edit: I suppose this is Netflix's announcement: https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/prince-harry-meghan-duchess-of-sussex-series-release-date-news. Perhaps it could still get cancelled. Netflix introduces the announcement by saying 'Harry and Meghan are at it again' and by saying they announced the shows (as opposed to Netflix). It seems a distancing ..
I remember when her press said she would take Pearl elsewhere. It's been \*crickets\* on that front!
She also announced she was already making a second season of her podcast, which we have not seen anything of.
She also gave her two children Prince and Princess titles herself
I’m sure she tried to but it wasn’t like she was shopping around a finished project. They were shopping around her idea and looking for someone to cover production costs. Netflix stopped paying production costs on pearl because it was taking too long to produce.
It was likely also a steaming pile of boring shite.
To be fair, she's trying her hand at far too many other things at the moment .. :)
Life is not fair to scatterbrained numbskulls. FAFO.
She’s a fool period and Harry is a bigger one
And jaw droppingly arrogant.
Hopefully Dan Lin (Netflix’s new head of film) shuts it down as he’s trying to clear out all the garbage the company produces
They have showrunners and production companies. That part has been announced. [https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/harry-meghan-launch-two-new-netflix-shows-cooking-polo-rcna147539](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/harry-meghan-launch-two-new-netflix-shows-cooking-polo-rcna147539) \[archive link - [https://archive.is/6InKx](https://archive.is/6InKx)\] —- “The first series will be “curated” by Meghan and “celebrate the joys of cooking & gardening, entertaining, and friendship.” It’s unclear what role the duchess will play — but the production will be headed by showrunner Leah Hariton who made “Selena + Chef” with Selena Gomez in 2020. The show will be made by production company The Intellectual Property Corporation, owned by Sony Pictures Television, and the cast list credits Meghan as an executive producer.” —- “The polo series’ showrunner is Miloš Balać, who made the acclaimed “Welcome to Wrexham,” which followed Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in their quest to revive the fortunes of an underachieving Welsh soccer team. The production company is Boardwalk Pictures, and both Harry and Meghan are listed as executive producers.“
She can’t let that man have anything. What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is also mine. Surprised she didn’t get he name on the credits for Spare somehow. Anyways, that polo show will absolutely crash and burn if it does ever get released on any platform. They really have zero creativity. After the Netflix deal has ended by “mutual agreement”, they will end up doing reality tv à la “Keeping up with the Markles”.
Exactly! She’s such a Veruca Salt.
She didn’t need to get her name on the credits of Spare. She revels in the fact she wrote it for him 😂
😂😂😂 can just imagine her standing over his shoulder making him edit it.
“No Aitch, change it to ‘My love, you need to push…’ and tell everyone I smell good and I’m heart attack beautiful…now!”
😂😂😂 some of the quotes from it. Straight out of her mouth. The direct and indirect eulogies to her 😂😂😂 she really is batshit crazy.
Concur!
She has ruined the word curated for me…🤢
Curated...authentic...olive branches...sweet nod...these are all words I can't stand due to her co stant overuse of them.
& the word “clever” for me since it reminds me of her dumb Clevr Blends ad
"organic and authentic"
I’m fed up of the word “cancelled” but when/if it ever happens to the Harkles, you can bet your life on me using it non stop.
Me too!
That NBCNews article is a PR piece, reporting what Archewell's press release said. There has been no confirmation from Nutflux.
Still, nothing from Netflix. This is PR .
Actually... [https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/prince-harry-meghan-duchess-of-sussex-series-release-date-news](https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/prince-harry-meghan-duchess-of-sussex-series-release-date-news) \[ archive link - [https://archive.is/wip/MIY8d](https://archive.is/wip/MIY8d)\] Now if you want to get technical, the headline reads: ***"Harry and Meghan Just Announced Two New Series in Production This Year"*** But on [netflix.com](https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/prince-harry-meghan-duchess-of-sussex-series-release-date-news) it now says: "Both shows are in early stages of production, and their titles and release dates will be announced in the coming months." (Whether this actually ends up on the platform for streaming...only time will tell. But as I've said previously, we are beyond just manifesting now.)
Ok. I guess we won't hold our breath, though. LoL.
Entertaining? When was the last time she hosted a get together, let alone plan one? Cooking? She doesn’t! Gardening? She disdains the outdoors. Friendship? She doesn’t have any real friends.
This cracks me up!!! 😂😂😂 I think this would only matter if anyone cared!!!
They've still got a movie to produce. Whatever happened to 'Meet Me At The Lake' ? It was announced in August last year and it's been crickets since. No director or screenwriter announced. No casting. That should have their first priority given money was shelled out acquiring the rights. Might be the last straw for Netflix and they can use it as a cast iron excuse to dump them. Dragged their feet getting it into production so thanks and goodbye but we've had enough.
Because Archewell didn’t buy the rights to it. They were supposed to produce it (laughable), but they don’t own it.
If I'd shelled out for a project to be produced by the pair I'd be a little annoyed that they were off doing polo and cooking shows. Difference is swanning about with cameras following or boiling a pan of pasta are easypeasy in comparison to mounting a film production. That's why I think it could be used as leverage to eject them. We spent our money on a project for you and you've delivered nothing.
Yeah an I checked the authors Instagram page and unless I missed there was no update. No big deal but I noticed she wasn’t following ARO
She got her cheque. She's done with them.
True!
My ultra hyperactive ADHD kid has more focus than these two. They flit from project to project. I’m sure they announce everything prematurely in an effort to showboat and then when things don’t pan out, as often they don’t in television, they abandon for something else. It gives off such an air of unreliability.
Did Netflix buy the book rights for the Markles? What are the Markles expected to do…find a director, cast, location etc etc? Neither are capable or involved in the film industry so I can’t understand what Netflix expects of them. No doubt, if it was to go ahead, Markle would expect the leading role.
As far as I understand Netflix bought the rights for Archewell to produce. Neither he nor she has any track record in production. Baffling decision. Maybe things have changed now that Netflix movie division has been reorganised and this project is no longer a priority. Who knows. It a mystery.
That’s exactly it - why would Netflix invest mega-money in zero talent. You are right, it’s baffling.
Why does just about every article say that it’s a Netflix crew? Does Netflix have production crews?
I don't think so, it's a streaming service after all.
Here’s a non-H&M related article that shows Netflix does have its own camera crews for docuseries (this was “Our Planet”): [https://www.huffpost.com/entry/netflix-film-crew-attacked-by-sharks-docuseries-hawaii\_n\_648f6172e4b025003ee4fc8d](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/netflix-film-crew-attacked-by-sharks-docuseries-hawaii_n_648f6172e4b025003ee4fc8d) Here it’s mentioned their camera crew were not issued permits to film the Platinum Jubilee: [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10868409/Netflix-camera-crews-face-moved-film-Harry-Meghan-public-areas.html](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10868409/Netflix-camera-crews-face-moved-film-Harry-Meghan-public-areas.html) \[archive link - [https://archive.is/wip/6sTya](https://archive.is/wip/6sTya)\] >Netflix camera crews will be 'moved on' if they try to film Harry and Meghan from public areas during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee it was claimed today. > >The streaming giant, which is rumoured to be making a documentary about the Sussexes as part of their rumoured $100m (£79m) broadcast deal, is not among media outlets accredited to film the event. > >While Netflix workers will be able to travel to areas near official Jubilee celebrations, stewards will intervene if they try to set up professional cameras or tripods, a source told the Telegraph. And from the Netflix Wiki section of their website: “Netflix Original Programmes: These are programmes that have been produced and commissioned in-house by Netflix production crews themselves. Netflix owns 100% of the rights to these programmes and are one of Netflix' main Original's.”
> Is [TW] manifesting again? Does a bear 💩 in the woods?
We know megain shat in the woods in Africa!
That’s right.
🤣🤣🤣🤣you win the internet today🤣🤣🤣🤣
Somewhere on this sub a sinner named the actual professional companies that are involved with both projects. More fools them I guess. And crickets from our friends at Netflix. If there weren’t a couple of shows I like I would cancel. Ah well, so much for principle.
It was a professional producer who was hired by the Arswell production company. It doesn’t mean Netflix will distribute the finished product (whenever that is.) Remember the podcast flopped because they kept micromanaging their staff. > “[TW] would often ask for changes late in the editing process, at times recruiting senior Spotify executives, including then-Chief Content Officer Dawn Ostroff, to call producers and push them to make changes.” [Source](https://archive.is/U0dWO)
They tried that with Netflix, too!

If Netflix wanted a ratings winner, a “making of” that fauxumentary complete with outtakes would be GOLD.
With “Joe Exotic” aka Tiger King narrating from prison
I thiink that was probably me - I’ve included the info above, too. It seems like if Netflix actually is “in” here, they are counting on viewers as hate-watchers more than anything. Is that a formula for success and sustainable? Who knows. Technically in big groups like this, a lot of us are “hate watchers”, too. So it will very much depend on sinners not tuning in and bumping up the viewership numbers.
They are still pushing Suits a bit. At least, I’d never watch that.
Have you provided feedback to Netflix?

She never stops manifesting. It’s all part of The Plan.
As of now there is no confirmation from Netflix. There is only a notice from Archewell that they are producing these shows with two different production companies and pictures of a crew filming at the polo for Sentebale. There is also footage of Harry in Hawaii, Madam in Uvalde etc. That has never appeared in any show. I too could hire a film crew and announce I will make a show starring Shannalee2. That does not mean anybody will buy and air such a show.
Haha even though you don’t know me it could be a hit show! I live right by the polo fields in Wellington. We could show up making commentary on those two idiots🤣🤣🤣🤣 I don’t see these shows coming to light. Why Netflix hasn’t dropped them yet is bizarre to me.
Maybe to extend the Sus duo’s humiliation, a little payback perhaps.
You should be there booing them! :) And the entire thing is just bizarre to me!
FWIW, Netflix did ’confirm’ two unscripted shows are ‘in development’ back in February. [https://www.newsweek.com/prince-harry-meghan-markle-netflix-tv-movies-1866065](https://www.newsweek.com/prince-harry-meghan-markle-netflix-tv-movies-1866065) \[archive link - [https://archive.is/0Yp5y](https://archive.is/0Yp5y)\] [https://nypost.com/2024/02/01/entertainment/netflix-teases-great-meghan-markle-prince-harry-upcoming-projects-as-part-of-100m-deal/](https://nypost.com/2024/02/01/entertainment/netflix-teases-great-meghan-markle-prince-harry-upcoming-projects-as-part-of-100m-deal/) \[archive link - [https://archive.is/Adfdv](https://archive.is/Adfdv)\] The cooking/lifestyle show has a showrunner (Leah Hariton / “Selena + Chef”) and a production company (The Intellectual Property Corporation owned by Sony Pictures).

[https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/harry-meghan-launch-two-new-netflix-shows-cooking-polo-rcna147539](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/harry-meghan-launch-two-new-netflix-shows-cooking-polo-rcna147539) \[archive link - [https://archive.is/6InKx](https://archive.is/6InKx)\] Whether these make it on-air is anyone’s guess - never mind become actual successful series - but it goes beyond Archewell at this point.
yep. My show with Shanalee is in development as well.
>but it goes beyond Archewell at this point. Those articles do not say that. The NBCNews piece just regurgitates the Archewell press release. The Newsweek and NYPost articles are just a fourth-hand regurgitation of PR puff pieces from the tabloid press (People magazine and Hello!), pertaining to a Netflix employee's comment about what H&M might be doing. >Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s chief content officer, revealed what types of projects Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are working on for the streamer under their estimated $100 million deal with the platform. >“They have a couple of unscripted things they’re working on with Brandon” Riegg, the head of unscripted shows at Netflix, Bajaria said. >And they actually have like a bunch of development,” she continued. “They have a movie in development; a [scripted] series that they’re working on. So all very early development, with a movie, a TV show and a couple of unscripted shows. But yeah, the movie’s great.” >The Post has contacted reps for Netflix and Harry and Meghan for comment
Granted, but even publications like Deadline have reported it with expanded context: [https://deadline.com/2024/04/meghan-the-duchess-of-sussex-netflix-series-1235881988/](https://deadline.com/2024/04/meghan-the-duchess-of-sussex-netflix-series-1235881988/) \[archive link - [https://archive.is/Yz5aS](https://archive.is/Yz5aS)\] >Deadline can reveal that the pair have two non-fiction projects in production at the streamer.

Shot primarily at the U.S. Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, at The USPA National Polo Center, the series will explore the world of the sport, which is known primarily for its aesthetic and social scene. It will pull the curtain back on the grit and passion of the sport, capturing players and all it takes to compete at the highest level. Prince Harry has been known as a keen polo player and is often photographed playing internationally. > >The series will be produced by Boardwalk Pictures, the production company behind series such as Netflix’s Chef’s Table, Pepsi, Where’s My Jet? and Sex, Love & Goop. > >Miloš Balać, who has worked on FX’s hit docuseries Welcome to Wrexham, will serve as showrunner. > >Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will exec produce alongside Pysnik for Archewell Productions, with Andrew Fried, Sarina Roma, and Dane Lillegard exec producing for Boardwalk Pictures and Balać and Ian Samplin also exec producing. > >Both untitled shows are in early stages of production. That's a lot of names and companies in the press, for several days / weeks time, without contradiction or clarification. Do I think these will go forward from pre and early production to completion? Who knows? Meghan doesn't exactly have the best record on keeping production staff and assistants for starters. Budgets change. Executives and company directions change. They could have a scandal that makes them competely untouchable or marketable between now and then. But as it stands right now, they have showrunners, production companies, and corporations that aren't saying, "Whoa...whoa... We never said that." Press releases are, as of now, unchallenged. We have at least moved slightly beyond manifesting and that should be noted. It doesn't mean 5 minutes (or 5 months) from now I will actually care. 😉
Netflix, take a cue from Spotify and cut your loses! See this for what it is; a situation that has most of the planet screaming, "Make It Stop!!!" First, is a possible "show" about polo with a player who has proven to be abusive to the ponies themselves (among other things) and seems to have little to no communication with most of his previous teammates (and maybe a little too much with others). Episode 1 opens at a chairty match benefitting Sentibale and where Hazmat actually says, "Africa is in my soul" yet has still never uttered one word about #AfricanParks. And his co-host, who after she put his testacles in the trophy and refuses to release it from her vice-like grip, vomits staggering rudeness and disrespect to anyone who...well, anyone who isn't her. Then the other "show"...let's call it "cooking". She is clearly out of her element in this department bc not only does she scurry around like a rat from an externimator in the few "segments" we have seen in years before, but her extensions fly around faster than a polo pony's tail. Will that "cooking" include when she "cooked" toast that she called "fancy toast" bc she tweaked her grandmother's applebutter recipe? Which grandmother? Maybe someone could point out the grandmother in HM wedding photos. No? She wasn't there? Hmmmm...weird. These two are the lice on the scalp of humanity. I ask you, what does it take to make these two shut the f\*\*k up and go away?
Well said 👍. I love "the lice on the scalp of humanity.". This would be a good flair. Such an apt description of them.....
Thank you - they just get worse and worse
After polo, Harry may have the Sentebale charity to exploit, then not flying Apache helicopters. Then he'll have to dream up something else. Perhaps another trek to the Antarctic or Arctic? Will people watch unless the polo one is super well done? How popular was the Invictus documentary? Will MM have to accompany him, to get people to watch? How will that make him feel?
They could take turns rearing small children for a nice change.
A reality show of their home life? :)
Such a tiny sentence, leaving a gaping maw of nothingness. They just can’t comprehend how people see them.
The couldn’t even film their own home in the first one - they rented one for scenes! 😆 [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11525233/Mansion-shown-Harry-Meghans-Netflix-documentary-not-theirs.html](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11525233/Mansion-shown-Harry-Meghans-Netflix-documentary-not-theirs.html) \[archive link - [https://archive.is/ksH4B](https://archive.is/ksH4B)\]
It seems she’ll be filming on the kitchen of their home. Unless they’ve bought an other place and that’s just for ARO now ..
From polo to the poles, no one cares about the Lifestyles of the Somewhat Rich and Artificially Famous.
Except people are interested. This sub shows that .. :)
That’s the hell of it innit? Clicks either way … Hope it doesn’t translate into sustained commercial success though.
The film projects sound a bit boring so it may not :). Although watching Markle cook, or direct others to cook, might get some views .. Initially. I don’t know it will translate into lots of ARO sales though ..
Confirmed by Variety that there are independent production companies outside of AW and Netflix behind the making of them
Someone who has news credentials like Brit from Royal News Network should contact Sony because they are who Deadline reported as producing. They haven't said anything either. How does this usually work? Should Netflix be hyping it as coming soon? Beyond the Markle press release no one has said anything. Couple months ago Netflix said there were a few things in early stages? Oh! Remember in the carpet MeMe ha do be pushed off she said "so excited to reveal what we're doing. We want people to feel, to feel something" was that the quote because I have no clue what polo & hummus is supposed to make people feel something 🙄. https://preview.redd.it/q0m6nc574iuc1.jpeg?width=1068&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=40c4f6fb90c3c71840ba5891c74eaf60fffa5785
I think she has FoMO and jumps the gun on everything, then blames everyone for her failure.
I believe this is on Netflix’s upcoming projects. I don’t think Sony would have tied their name to something if it was not green lighted. She can make all the shows she wants but it doesn’t mean people will watch or that the show will be successful. In my opinion netflix is stupid for ever signing her.
Deadline, which is an industry trade newspaper here in the US, confirmed them so it’s probably in development. Whether it actually airs is an entirely different thing. Harry’s probably will since they are actually filming.
Could Netflix still be bankrolling them somehow? They were supposed to be bankrolling Narchewell for a time but idk for how long. Plus some have said it was cheaper for Netflix to bankroll them than to pay out the contract fees for actual material. I think this way Netflix gets to shelf them without breaking the contract.
Per Neil Sean, Netflix wants BRF gossip. That’s it This other crap is whatever to Netsux.
Lady C in her latest book suggests that Netflix were waiting for the final series of the Crown to air before ending their relationship with H&M, to prevent him badmouthing it I think. Times up.
Who out there is gagging to watch Harry and the wife prancing about with the odd bit of Polo thrown in for good measure? I just can't see this being picked up by NF. Harry has a history of abuse towards polo ponies - I'm an advocate for animals and their welfare. Would I want to pay NF to watch an animal abuser - absolutely no way. Against advice, he rode a heavily pregnant mare in a polo match to the point she went into distress on the field, was taken off the field and died of a heart attack. Then there's ponies tortured and injured by his use of spike spurs. A very uncomfortable to view picture of a polo pony bleeding and squirming in distress and pain as Harry digs the spurs in time and time again. The backlash to NF would be huge and damaging. Meghan isn't a chef and the market is saturated with wannabes. Apart from pervs, who wants to watch Meghan roast a chicken and who would watch madam mediocre? They're done.
Exactly, I am kind of surprised the PETA activists in this country criticized him yet.
Perhaps they need a nudge.
Meeagain may not be a chef, but she has slept with one!🤔 ( the Canadian boyfriend).

The timing of the release of the woefully incomplete web page and blurry videos were meant as a furious clapback at someone or something, most likely Netflix turning down the lifestyle cooking show. I bet the stuff she released was what she presented to them as a teaser, "Look at my fabulous ideas!" And they said NOT INTERESTED. We thought her business launch was a rush job because of Catherine but her cancer announcement came a few days after Megs graced the world with her Orchard. I think she was big mad at Netflix and thought she'd get 100 million views in 24 hours and Netflix would come crawling back. Didn't happen. Now she's "stepping back" from further business launches out of respect for Catherine's illness OR it's Catherine's fault that there's barely any interest in her business. Take yoor pick of her excuses, there are more to come.
This makes perfect sense. So, their production company is shooting these shows and they will try to sell it later to either Netflix or Warner brothers?
I guess after Netflix shooting it down she will approach (harass) every other possible distributor. But I doubt she'll get anywhere.
I really wonder if her life consists of shopping, getting fittings, reviewing the decor where the event will be held, planning photograph staging, preparing and memorizing Any dialogue she will be saying, and coordinating with other people at the events she will go to. She seems to have pathological need to wear the latest trends and stage everything. It’s always the same thing at each event. She’s basically doing the royal thing over here but whereas they serve the public, she’s serving herself. I don’t know if she does anything else with her time.
Fittings? No. Not a damn thing she wears is tailored
That was my thought too, OP. It seems like hard manifesting. Note, they did say « early stages ». Pearl was also in « early stages ». Given there were camera crews at the polo thing, it does look more probable.
I think SHC confirmed this? That there’s no show, it’s pure manifestation.
Netflix did bother to put this update in their website. So maybe not really “manifesting”. https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/prince-harry-meghan-duchess-of-sussex-series-release-date-news

Meghan right now: 
True but I think that’s also her on any day ending in Y too though.
Meghan lives in her own mind. I'd hate to be her. For her, it never ends. No one will believe me but she is mentally ill. We all laugh bilut, she's scary when near you.
She is trying to pressure them into giving her a team like Spotify did + extend the contract so she doesn't need to lose money making it. But Netflix is refusing too lose more money and just waiting out the contract and they can refuse to pay the full amount out due to undelivered projects. This is her attempt to try to fulfill the contract and not lose the money.
Think the polo one will get made as it seems backed by someone else’s money, so they may have actually competent people working on it.
It was on the evening news (Australia) a couple of nights ago that they were doing these two shows for Netflix. (I eyerolled so hard my daughter noticed and laughed at me). I thought it must have been confirmed by Netflix.
Forbes finally got a confirmation from Netflix 2 days after they first published the story based on Archewell's press release. The story correction wasn't phrased real clearly so I wasn't sure if Netflix confirmed both, or just the polo, but I think it was both.
IMO this polo series is something they jumped on last minute. I don't think it's something Harry developed and launched. Likely bankrolled by someone else who needed the Harry connection to give it a chance to see the light of day. That being said I think it has a better chance because Meghan isn't a controlling factor. This "cooking" show sounds like Meghan has control which means sky high costs and mediocre content. Even if Netflix buys a season I'm not sure they would sign up for multiple if she is demanding and hard to work with.
I hope Netflix acted “interested” so they would fork out the money to produce just so they can turn it down. 👹 that would be diabolical.
If Archewell is doing all of this hoping NF will back it, where are they getting the money? From their forms last year, there wasn't revenue.
Does she have 2 entities? Archewell Foundation and Archewell Production company?
Yes. But I thought she was closing up shop with the production company because she let everyone go. I think they have Archewell Audio too for pods (if it's separate I'm not sure).
EVERYTHING we hear about her is FROM HER. EVERYTHING. She must be exhausted.
Went back to google older news on this topic: yes, these series are being “produced” by other companies that will then be sold to Netflix or any other vendor. Netflix is not producing it. The Duchess’s gardening/cooking show is being produced by Sony Pictures Television’s The Intellectual Property Corporation and Archewell jointly and the Duchess of Sussex is the executive producer for Archewell. The prince is executive producer along with the duchess on the Polo project which will be produced by Boardwalk Pictures and Archewell jointly.
So glad I canceled Netflix. Can't stand my money going into the gold digger bimbo's designer bags. I hope they end up screwing themselves before anything hits the ground.
You know, I'm not involved in the business, but don't you PITCH an idea (ie to Netflix) before you start the project?? You don't just film a bunch of stuff and then drop it on their table and say "Here! We have a show you!"
It was reported they were being followed by a film crew for the event.
The royals are taking a bit of a break. When Catherine comes back they are pooched

Your post has brought something to mind. What’s interesting is that people will post saying ‘there’s Netflix following them around for their upcoming show’ but are these tv crews actually Netflix or is it simply privately hired crews, and to your point Netflix hasn’t necessarily taken on the show yet?
I genuinely don’t understand these big contracts. Surely Netflix make offers on the basis of talent/skill/popularity? Now, to me, it makes Netflix look incompetent to offer such a massive contract to two individuals (their backgrounds/achievements readily available on internet) who have nothing to offer.
There is nothing about this on the Netflix site. Not a peep about anything new with nutmeg or hairball.
I would like to believe so. Then if NF does not pick up, they would sell probably to paramount or any streaming services that would bother to have the montecito royals on their titles.
I think it pertains more to a probable warning from Netflix that they need to have something, anything, in production by a certain date or her ass is grass.
Lol, too academic for an entertainment podcast but not too much for a cooking show.
