In the world of show business, fame can be fickle.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have learned this the hard way as they navigate their post-royal lives.
Once adamant about avoiding certain tabloids, the couple now seems willing to appear anywhere for the right price.
This revelation comes as no surprise, as we have recently discovered that Meghan’s willingness to cooperate is directly linked to the size of the paycheck.
Now, before we delve into the details, let’s take a moment to connect.
How are you?
Yes, you, the one reading this.
It’s a shame if you’ve just tuned in and missed out on the beginning.
But hey, I get it.
We all need something to perk us up, like a little bit of iron.
Speaking of which, did you know that Dionne Warwick recorded a song for the movie Valley of the Dolls?
It’s a catchy tune, though a tad old-fashioned.
But enough about that, let’s get back to our royal story of the day.
I hope you don’t mind my little digressions along the way.
So, here’s what caught my attention.
Remember when Meghan and Harry were selective about which tabloids they would engage with?
Well, those days are long gone.
They now seem desperate for any media coverage, realizing that in the entertainment industry, popularity can be fleeting.
And therein lies their biggest challenge: keeping the public interested in their children, Archie and Lily.
For some inexplicable reason, Meghan and Harry believe that the world wants to know every detail about their little ones.
But the truth is, we haven’t really seen much of them.
They appear interchangeable in the few glimpses we get, making it hard for us to form a connection.
However, the real issue lies in the couple’s mega deal with Netflix.
As they worked on their docuseries, it became apparent that they needed to spice things up.
Enter Liz Garbus, the director who allegedly staged paparazzi shots and a car chase for added drama.
But that wasn’t enough.
According to a reliable source, who is no longer associated with Netflix and has chosen to speak out, Meghan and Harry demanded that their children and Meghan’s mother, Doria, be included in the series.
Without their appearance, the deal was off the table.
Now, I must admit, I’m not entirely sure what Archie, Lily, and Doria brought to the documentary.
But it was a clever move by Netflix to secure their participation.
As I’ve mentioned before, the power dynamics have shifted for Meghan and Harry.
Initially, they were the ones calling the shots, but now, if they want to maintain their standing, they must deliver what the network demands.
And that’s precisely why Archie, Lily, and Doria made their fleeting appearances in the docuseries.
It’s somewhat comforting to know that even Meghan Markle can be swayed by the allure of a hefty paycheck.
In the cutthroat world of entertainment, it seems money talks louder than principles.
This revelation serves as a reminder that fame comes at a price, and sometimes, it requires compromising one’s own values.
As Meghan and Harry continue to navigate their new lives, they must adapt to the ever-changing demands of the industry.
After all, in this business, you’re only as good as your last project.
