On Wednesday, hundreds of years after revolutionaries made the case for the supremacy of the American system and decades after Hollywood began to beam its influence farther and wider than the British Empire ever did, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex swapped life in the British royal family for a multiyear deal with Netflix.
The couple are writing a new chapter in the age-old American story of reinvention and self-determination by announcing that they are rejecting the British monarchy for the stuff of American dreams. They've decided they can have more power over their lives and influence over everyone else from Hollywood than from Buckingham Palace.
Meghan and Harry have indicated that they see the opportunity with Netflix as a chance to reverse some of the pain and scorn they've experienced. "Through our work with diverse communities and their environments, to shining a light on people and causes around the world, our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope," the couple explained in a statement about the partnership. "As new parents, making inspirational family programming is also important to us, as is powerful storytelling through a truthful and relatable lens."

Ping.
or are they unwittingly entrenching to an already over-grown top-down aristocratic sensibility here?
They still have a ways to go to keep up with the Kardashians.
I’ve been watching “Trailer Park Boys” on Netflix.
Meh, regarding those two.
Meghan and Harry....”Through our work with diverse communities and their environments, to shining a light on people and causes around the world, our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope,”....
PHOOEY to “diversity”!!!!
If this is winning, it is a Pyrrhic victory.
Sex tape out within 18 months. Probably live on Netflix.
You got that right.

Thats more than just funny. Its hilarious! If Meghan and Harry werent royalty they wouldnt have gotten that Netflix deal. Theyd be singing for spare change on some street corner instead.
It also shows we reward the stupid very well in this country.
Yeah, but the Kardashians are getting canceled come 2021.
And considering some of the sordid stories about the royal family in general over the years, they might have a good shot at it.
>>the Duke and Duchess of Sussex swapped life in the British royal family for a multiyear deal with Netflix.
Who believes this crap?
They kept their royal titles and got $120 million from Netflix.
To be a commoner...
>>Meghan and Harry
Without Harry, she’d would be a nobody
>>It also shows we reward the stupid very well in this country.
Netflix rewards the globalists and the rubes gladly give Netflix their money to spend as Netflix sees fit.
Looks like the queen mother cut off these two grifters. Now
Netflix is paying them for the airhead take on the American system vs the British system.
I wouldn’t watch this if they paid me!
I have become quite fond of the British crime dramas on all my streaming services. Now if they would just speak plain American English I wouldn’t have to rewind them so much to understand what they are saying...
My favorite line is always “Are you taking a piss!”
Agree. The instigators of the whole "diversity" movement don't want diversity. "Diverse" means "differing". What they want is dilution. Put a drop of ink into a glass of water. Watch what happens to the ink. There's your answer.
