It happens often, doesn’t it? The situation just keeps evolving, escalating, and, of course, the blame game kicks in. It always reminds me of that comedian’s joke—when a couple first gets married, they use pet names for each other, like "my little baby lamb" or "my little piglet." It’s cute at first, but as time goes on, those animal names start getting bigger. You know exactly what I mean, right?
Well, this is exactly what's unfolding with Harry and Meghan behind the scenes. The former royals, now known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are definitely at odds. No matter how much Prince Harry tries to deny it, especially in his recent public appearances, the tension is undeniable. But let me explain why things have reached this point.
Good morning, and thanks for joining me today, even on this windy day in London. At least there's no rain, snow, or hail, as the weatherman predicted. By the way, have you noticed that? Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the recent video about the incredible Olivia de Havilland and our late, great Queen Elizabeth II. That’s another wonderful story you can check out whenever you’re in the mood for a change of pace.
As many of you know, I have a passion for Hollywood, especially the Golden Age. I’ve been fortunate to meet some legendary figures, and I cherish the stories I get to share. When you're younger, you don’t always appreciate how meaningful those moments are, but as you get older, you realize just how significant they were. It’s amazing to reflect on those memories and realize how lucky we’ve been.
Now, back to Harry and Meghan. No matter what Harry said on stage during the New York Post event, things between them are undeniably difficult. This happens in many relationships; the pressure builds, and before you know it, you’re facing a professional split. The latest reports suggest that they're going in opposite directions—Megan has her own plans, and Harry, well, he’s trying to keep up.
The root of it all comes down to popularity and ambitions. Meghan was convinced her ideas were the ones that would succeed. She believed that leaving the royal family and building their own brand would bring in millions. Harry bought into it, lock, stock, and barrel. But now, a few years down the line, even he’s realizing things aren’t going according to plan. The privacy they sought has led to more public scrutiny, with Harry getting tangled in court cases and facing constant negativity. He looks unhappy, and sources say there are frequent arguments over the direction of their lives.
Harry had hoped they'd go to Africa, like the Queen once suggested, to take a break and reset. But Meghan didn’t see it that way. She believed they could succeed on their own, without relying on the royals, and now it’s clear that it’s just not working.
Interestingly, spending time apart seems to be helping them more than being together. Despite what their Christmas card might suggest, it’s becoming apparent that a little distance is better for them. But for now, they’re stuck with each other. Harry needs Meghan, in part because she’s like a mother figure to him. She also controls everything in their household, including the finances. So even though they may be at odds, it’s a tough situation—they're stuck together, whether they like it or not.
Some might say they got what they deserved, while others may feel some sympathy for Harry. But one thing’s clear: Harry got exactly what he wanted. And as he famously said, "What Meghan wants, Meghan gets." Well, she got what she wanted, but it doesn’t seem to be turning out quite as planned.
