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."

The Queen did. The Queen Mother, Elizabeth’s mother, died years ago and is probably spinning in her grave over Harry’s bad choices!
I forgot it is not merely Jo who has his very own ho
The Queen Mother died several years ago. Other than that, agree 100%.
Oh, yeah, can't wait to watch that stuff - not!
Two airheads of the first order. Send the blithering idiots back to the Queen and let her lock them up in the Tower of London in a section far from the crown jewels as they are not to be trusted.
NBC is taking the exact opposite spin most people would have on this story.
Markle is talking about running for office.
Both seem to hate their own families, and delight in ways to insult these family members. Same goes for most of their former friends.
Keep on burnin’ those bridges, you two.
Keep on squandering the love and respect that people were ready to bestow upon you both.
As Led Zepplin sang:..”Your Time Is Gonna Come!!”
Hollywood is not America, not anymore, and not for a long time.
The redheaded stepchild had better apply for citizenship.
The hoodrat can kiss my foot.
Chief Fellater?
I don’t cotton to my birth fam either. Bunch of liberal jerks. Messy. Lazy. Late all the time. Bleah.
They are not Royals! Stripped of their crowns no different then an old boxer with brain damage.
They will win an oscar along with obama. You can bet on it.
Hollywood stars are the new Royalty!
(So are the pop stars and the stars of pro-sports - you only have to look at how the likes of Madonna and Reggie Dwight [AKA Elton John] pamper themselves.)
In a recent British pole of 10,000 people, 96% thought Harry should be stripped of his dukedom, 87% thought he should be stripped of his princehood.
Brits despise them. Its not all over, yet.
That is 10,000 British subjects.
