Harry and Meghan 'held talks with streaming platform Quibi a YEAR before
Megxit' despite telling Oprah they 'had no plan' when leaving the Royal family


Prince Harry, 36, met with executives at failed streaming platform Quibi
Sources claim plans were made for ten-minute videos featuring the Duke
The Duke of Sussex held his last meeting with the platform in January 2020
During an interview with Oprah Winfrey he claimed no plans were made


The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were discussing projects with a billion-
dollar backed US streaming service a year before they stepped down as
senior members of the Royal family, it has emerged.

The Sussexes had a series of meetings with Quibi, a now-defunct rival to
YouTube, from early 2019 until after they dropped their 'Megxit' bombshell in
January last year.

The Duke returned from the so-called Sandringham Summit to meet
executives from the short video platform in London as plans for him to
provide content apparently reached advanced stages.

In their interview with Oprah Winfrey, the couple said that they “didn’t have
a plan” upon leaving the Royal family, but The Telegraph has learnt that they
had talks with executives of the £1.3 billion start-up before their son Archie
was born in May 2019.

The discussions are understood to have led to tensions with Palace staff
fearful they would be accused of “cashing in” on their status, and because
the couple were predominantly consulting Meghan’s US-based team of
advisers.

A source with knowledge of the situation said: “There were well-developed
proposals in place with Quibi from early 2019.”

A royal source added: “A lot of it was orchestrated by Meghan’s people in
America. It was a bit of a secret squirrel.”

They told Oprah Winfrey they “didn’t have a plan”. Revealing that they had
been “cut off” by the Royal family, Harry, Duke of Sussex, insisted that he
and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, only signed deals with Netflix and Spotify
out of immediate financial necessity.

“Because you didn’t have a plan?” prompted Ms Winfrey. “We didn’t have a
plan,” replied the Duchess, with the Duke adding: “We didn’t have a plan.
That was suggested by somebody else by the point of where my family
literally cut me off financially, and I had to afford . . . afford security for us.”

Meghan: I had no plans to leave, I just kept all of my American agents,
lawyers, and PR and had constant talks behind the royals backs about how to
monetize my royalty. Harry is literally the only one on the planet who doesnt
see it.

...’it was a bit of a secret squirrel’ for two years but the Royal sources all knew about it apparently/allegedly and now Quibi is a defunct service...business discussions were apparently at very advanced stages but still those secret squirrels stayed secret even though the secret would have indicated that two senior Royals would be stepping back from duties, that’s a pretty huge secret to be squirrelling ...?...and was a surprise when it came out but not for the secret squirrel people who were keeping the secret at the time and then kept on keeping it for another two years until it’s just popped out unexpectedly when things about the Oprah interview are being questioned...

There was never any need to do that interview....it was done because Meghan wanted to speak 'her Truth' and her friend Oprah made mega bucks. Meghans 'Truths' are just becoming Meghans 'Lies'. She has lost a lot of credibility and the pair of them have been mocked from here to the other side of the world. Some of these lies dont have a huge impact other than on her credibility...but the accusations against Harrys family are damaging and have had an impact...they were meant to damage otherwise they would have done it in private.
If you think people like that are worth defending then carry on...
