Harry and Meghan were in talks with video platform a year before ‘Megxit’

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.

That turned into the official thread of discussing other members to divert from this pair

"Katzenberg and Quibi co-founder Ms Whitman had raised $1.8billion in funding for the app from Hollywood studios such as Disney and Warner Media as well as Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba.

They'd also recruited high-profile names such as Chrissy Tegan, LeBron James, Jennifer Lopez and Idris Elba for their new TV shows and movies, promising up to three hours of original content daily. "

"The newspaper also reported Meghan Markle continued to consult her US-based advisors, including her lawyer Rick Genow, business manager Andrew Meyer, talent agent Nick Collins and PR Keleigh Thomas Morgan, while she was a working royal.

This frustrated aides in Britain, who found it difficult to keep track of commercial deals the couple were planning."

told Winfrey "we didnt have a plan"

Nothing wrong with that...the point is they stated they "Didnt have a plan" a load of bollocks...you dont just up and leave with no plan.
The lies they just keep coming...shes going to make a great politition :joker:

bots 03-04-2021 11:52 AM

the big question is .... why does anyone care?

They are ex royals, why does anyone bother giving them attention. All these new threads do is perpetuate their relevance when they are a complete irrelevance :laugh:

The end goal seems to be to have them "cancelled". Sadly despite how hard they are trying it just doesn't appear to be happening for them :hehe:

Imagine wanting a couple cancelled who have no impact on our lives. There's lies & corruption in the government, an alleged sex offender in the royal family etc.

literal zero impact :laugh:




also her former Suits co-star also had something 'cancelled' on disney+

Ammi 03-04-2021 01:42 PM

...’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...

nothing to do with her, just her name shoehorned into an article for more clicks.

Ammi 03-04-2021 01:58 PM

...sadly none of the royal sources thought to let the royal establishment know that there were advanced talks etc regarding two of the senior Royals stepping down from roles and moving overseas because it was too secret squirrely....

Yeah, as we said all along, they planned to get to the USA from the start and they went about it in devious ways, blaming the royal family and the press as the reasons why they couldn’t possibly ‘survive’ in the UK.

"It's not enough to survive, you have to THRIVE; nobody asked me if I was okay!" said Meghan in Africa, with wobbly lips and a tear not far away. All set up with her friend Tom to fool the public. It didn't fool us! :laugh:

Or they just don't have time to waste being outraged over things that have no bearing on their life.
