Meghan, Harry underestimated how low in Hollywood ‘pecking order’ they’d be: ex-pal

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were ill prepared for just how low down the Hollywood “pecking order” they’d be, according to a former friend of the actress.

TV presenter Nick Ede, who says his friendship with the former “Suits” star started years before she had her sights set on the palace, claims that the pair didn’t realize they wouldn’t be known as “Hollywood royalty” when they moved across the pond to California.

“I think they came in and thought that the number one people on the block and they’re not really,” Ede, who says he lost contact with Markle when she started dating the Duke of Sussex, told the Express.

“They’re kind of quite far down really in that pecking order. And I think that’s been an issue with them, in that sense of stepping down.”

Ede, 49, claims the royals don’t carry the same prestige in Hollywood as other stars like the Kardashians, for example.

“I think the thing is that you forget that in Hollywood, royalty isn’t somebody with a title,” he explained. “It’s J.Lo, it’s Sharon Stone, it’s Beyoncé, it’s the Kardashians. That’s their royalty.”

The pecking order has since the beginning been first been the money and studio owners. Below that are the producers who manage the money to make movies and the directors who can actually stage the movie. Next are the stars - during their prime - the beautiful folks preying on fantasies driven by weakess of the flesh so long as they remain box office draws. Throw in the odd and rare person who can actually act and his adored by the public for that. And then everyone else lives hand to mouth.

In other words, are you essential for the process of producing a movie that will make a lot of money such that you have to be paid a lot of money for it? If not go get a life.

Just where on this totem pole did the Meghan-Harrys think they were going to sit?

Despite its Kumbaya sheen, Hollywood is more Lord of the Flies at its heart.

Meghan and Harry don’t have a sex tape. How could they hope to compete?

Poor little grifter and her used to be Royal husband find they have zero gravitas in the world she so dearly wants to rule.
I wonder at the rage that will consume her when she discovers that Rocky and Bullwinkle have more power in Hollywood than she will ever have.
And hubby threw away his family and his future for the mulatto whore.

We don’t watch south park in our household...but we ARE going to watch this episode and tell all of our family and friends to do the same simply because meghan doesn’t want us to. You’d think even trashy semi-royalty would understand how the psychology of trying to shut down publicity works. Two words for these two...moe and rons.

No one wants to hang out with Harry and Meghan because they don’t trust them.

I’ll give them credit - their marriage has lasted longer than I expected.

Imagine how awful they will be in 10+ years, when she’s sagging and he’s fat and bald?

Harry had no appreciation for his birth situation. Once Charles informed him of his plan to reduce the number of people on the Royal dole, he could have had Charles pay for tutors to maximize his educational possibilities and go get a decent job that paid hundreds of thousands of pounds per year, as well as live off the interest of his estimated $70 million net worth.

“The pecking order has since the beginning been first been the money and studio owners.”

I learned that when I worked at a five-star resort in Hawaii where these people vacationed. The stars/celebrities did, too.

The studio owners were the actual stars, and they had the money. Some had one nanny for each kid that traveled with them. The wives were enemies of each other and there were physical cat fights between them — over beach chairs, etc.

The “stars” were second class citizens compared to the owners.

Meaghan and Harry tend to have lot of ‘ex’ pals, ‘ex’ family and ‘ex’ employees.... And those are the people who used to like them... They are a pair of pathetic whiners who’s ‘woe is me’ attitudes are making them less and less likeable as each day goes by...

They claim that they desire privacy and their wishes will come true soon enough, when absolutely nobody pays attention to them anymore.

They have now achieved something most famous people have nightmares about... Infamy!
