Meghan, Harry underestimated how low in Hollywood 'pecking order' they'd be: ex-pal
2023-02-24
[NYPOST] Prince Harry
...That guy who married Meghan Markle. You know. The ones that didn't get invited to Michelle Obama's party?...
and Princess Meghan Markle
...unlikable American former starlet married to the formerly likable Prince Harry. Chock full of lefty political opinions and not many brains, Markle's most important characteristic is that she is Black, even though she doesn't look it. Her mother, y'see, is half black and her father is white, which would make her a quarter Black. Once married, she was too classy for the Royals and she and Harry decamped to Beverly Hills, kind of like the Clampetts did, because she was so much classier than the Winsdors....
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 Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,.

"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."

It's what spawns "prestige" these days is gob smacking.

#7  They have nothing left to sell except being offended. Her last ploy is the Coronation of Chuck and not being invited because she is black, or going and being mistreated because she is black. Either way, Harry's only role is to be insulted. Hint for the "Ginger Idiot", that whole dignity thing is pretty well played out after the book!

#5  She could always go back to Hallmark. I would prefer she just goes; and take her laundry boy with her.

#2  ^ So they will sue the entire US populace. And there are multiple attorneys who will happily take their money to do it.

And, re the thread about the retired janitor in Texas, millions of US citizens will send money if they set up a GoFund Me for the suit.
