Rumor has it the Harkles get a cut from Backrid.
that is one way Backgrid did operate. celeb got a kickback. you see a lot of gossip items that indicate one party has no idea other party is calling paps to get shots and then making money off of it..and even if not making money...getting their name in the news.
It is entirely possible that Prince Harry who is mentally challenged when it comes to paps has no idea that Markle is setting it up.
In the almost catastrophic car chase Harry looks distressed. Markle and her mother do not.
Btw, there is a big brouhaha over this possible fake second letter issued by NYPD concerning the car incident. that will be interesting to see what really happened with the NYPD
And btw, it doesn’t just have to be about money. it’s one way to control if you are a narcissist.
