Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could earn more than £1million each time they do a speech after signing up with an elite agency. The Duke, 35, and Duchess of Sussex, 38, have joined New York-based Harry Walker Agency, which represents the Obamas and the Clintons. PR expert Mark Borkowski told The Sun the pair will 'clean up'. They plan to be available for talks on social issues including racial justice, gender equality, the environment and mental health, according to the LA Times.

A show on MSNBC would be a better platform for them. "The Ms. And Mr. Markle Show".

Or just call it "The Daily Malarkey". Joe Biden could make routine guest appearances.

What are they going to speak about? Meghan Markle’s area of expertise and fame - “How to be a trashy, B-list, no-talent and no-class Hollywood actress and still marry a prince.”

What do those two know about anything that’s worth paying them $$$$ to hear them talk about their one-sided view of how horrible the USA is. Could it be possible in a post-Covid world that companies aren’t willing to pay $$$ for a stupid speech?

“Making a fortune off charitable donations requires that they deliver something in return...”

Hah! Tell that to the Clintons!

[Nea Wood]

What would they talk about?

Racism and sexism, of course. Because nobody is talking about racism or sexism these days.

[yardboyd]

Perhaps they could talk about Harry’s real father, or about his step-uncle Andrew humping children.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Try to picture yourself paying to hear either one of these useless eaters give a speech. 😆

The Clintons delivered political access, favors and US policy to their donors, starting with Clinton’s pardon of Marc Rich, the financial return that kicked off the CF

Money laundering operation for the Obamas and the Clintons only more like it.

8 Nov 2019: Hollywood Reporter: Endeavor Buys Harry Walker Agency, Restructures Speakers Division
by Erik Hayden
Endeavor, run by CEO Ari Emanuel, is acquiring Harry Walker Agency and merging it with WME Speakers...
“The Harry Walker Agency has been the gold standard for almost 75 years,” stated Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel. “Their standard of excellence has long been imitated, but never replicated, and we’re proud to welcome them to the Endeavor family.”

The new expansion into the event speaker business arrives weeks after Endeavor — which also owns IMG, Endeavor Content studio, MMA company UFC and PBR (Professional Bull Riders), among other varied assets — dropped its plans to go public formally on Oct. 16.
The HWA acquisition follows on the heels of Endeavor’s Nov. 6 move to bring aboard former ABC Entertainment chief Lloyd Braun to run its representation and management business and invest in his digital media company Whalerock Industries...

HWA, founded in 1946, counts a number of notable political, business and entertainment industry figures on its client list. It lists its exclusive speakers as former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former first lady Michelle Obama. Hollywood clients include Bono, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver, Gloria Steinem and Ronan Farrow.

Meanwhile, WME Speakers currently features Ben Affleck, Serena Williams, Tamron Hall, Michael B. Jordan and John Legend, among others. WME president Ari Greenburg noted of the acquisition, “HWA and their speakers will now benefit from the global reach and resources of WME and the broader Endeavor network.”
