First and foremost, there's some concerning news regarding the Murdoch family. It seems that Prince Harry is gaining the upper hand, while the Murdoch empire is facing setbacks. Talk TV, owned by Rupert Murdoch, has incurred losses of over 90 million dollars due to soaring programming costs and declining advertising revenues. Companies are reluctant to advertise with Talk TV, as the ratings have not been favorable. Despite the expectation that right-wing news channels like GB News would be profitable, they are proving to be unprofitable, contrary to popular belief. These channels may create a sense of unity through divisive tactics, but they are not generating revenue as anticipated. This is a significant blow to the Murdoch family's attempts to establish a cable news channel comparable to BBC or Sky News.
Furthermore, the Sun, another part of the Murdoch empire, has lost 66 million dollars due to the phone hacking scandal. Rup Murdoch's News Corp Empire has reported a deficit of around 54 million dollars, mainly attributed to the costs associated with Talk TV. These financial losses are a major setback for the Murdoch dynasty, which is rapidly losing money. It's worth noting that Prince Harry has taken legal action against the Sun and is scheduled to go to court in early 2025. The financial implications for Murdoch due to Harry's actions are far from over.
Moving on, there seems to be renewed discussion in the UK press about the relationship between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle. Recent articles suggest that Meghan was envious of the bond between Harry and Kate, and that Harry regrets the deterioration of his relationship with Kate caused by Meghan's presence. However, these narratives lack credibility and do not align with the reality we have witnessed. Harry and Meghan have chosen to live separately and build a life together, demonstrating their commitment to each other. It's important to acknowledge that Harry's actions defy the traditional royal protocol of infidelity, as we have seen with William's disloyalty to Kate and Charles's behavior towards Diana. The UK press seems obsessed with Meghan, despite her no longer being a working member of the royal family. There is no need to continuously speculate on a relationship that has ended and to create negative narratives around it. Meghan has moved on, and it's time to leave her alone.
Furthermore, news.com.au has mentioned a potential conflict between Kate Middleton and Prince William concerning their family. They discuss the next stage of Kate Middleton's treatment plan, which sounds rather mysterious. Previously, it was known that she underwent preventative chemotherapy for cancer cells discovered during a surgery in early January. The nature of this "next stage" remains unclear, and it raises questions about who is overseeing this treatment plan. Additionally, Prince William is reportedly under unimaginable stress, which seems puzzling. While it is understandable that he may be concerned for his wife's health and dealing with his father's condition, the sudden narrative of intense fear, unpreparedness, weakness, and fragility in relation to his proximity to the throne is perplexing. William has always desired to be king and has worked towards that goal for many years. Therefore, it is difficult to comprehend why he would suddenly experience such fear about assuming the role. These narratives surrounding William and Kate's situation appear peculiar and warrant further investigation.
