The Telegraph\u2019s Victoria Ward did a very strange and obsessive article called \u201cWhy Meghan and Harry\u2019s fightback starts now.\u201d<\/em> Fightback? Now? The crux of Ward\u2019s argument is that three-and-a-half years after the Sussexit, Harry and Meghan are fine, they have built a life for themselves in California, and they\u2019re heading to the Invictus Games where they will be widely photographed. The Windsors are already seething in advance of the Sussexes\u2019 Invictus appearance, which is also part of this story, but Ward seemingly spoke to some people on Team Sussex too, so there are also some nicer quotes in this piece as well. Some highlights:<\/p>\n The Sussex reboot:<\/strong> \u201cThey are done with their former lives,\u201d one source close to them insisted. \u201cThey\u2019re not talking about family. There\u2019s no expectation that the family\u2019s going to show up or acknowledge it or that anybody wants to see him. It\u2019s over.\u201d<\/p>\n The importance of Invictus: <\/strong>One friend tried to encapsulate the complex emotions that it stirs. \u201cInvictus is so important to him and is very much a part of his former life,\u201d they said. \u201cIt shows there could have been a world in which a hybrid model could have worked. But it also shows that in his new world, and in his new life, he\u2019s still capable of accomplishing the things that are so very important to him.\u201d The Games is considered Harry\u2019s \u201cbaby\u201d, a project on which he has long thrived and in which he takes immense pride. \u201cIt will enable him to remind people who he is, but also show them who he plans to be,\u201d another friend says. \u201cHe\u2019s nervous, because he\u2019s an empath. It\u2019s also a huge undertaking. He\u2019s also so excited and enthused.\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201cpersistent (yet totally unfounded) rumours of trouble in their marriage\u201d:<\/strong> \u201cThey are just fine,\u201d one exasperated aide says with an almost audible eye-roll. \u201cThey are in a good place and living as normal a life as they have ever done.\u201d <\/p>\n Separate projects:<\/strong> Both have completely separate projects in the pipeline, which sources are again at pains to point out does not mean they are separating. Instead, The Telegraph is told, they will reflect their differing professional interests and talents and are the result of significant thought about their future direction and careers. \u201cIf you introduce a couple together and the world knows them together, and then they find themselves in a situation where they need to find their own projects and their own identity, there is going to be a lot of speculation,\u201d one source acknowledges. \u201cBut on top of being a couple, they are both working on their own things. They are fully supportive of each other\u2019s concepts and ideas, but they are different from one another, they have different meanings. Everybody understands that they\u2019re not just going to stand still.\u201d<\/p>\n Meghan\u2019s new project: <\/strong>Meghan is preparing to launch a major new commercial venture. There has been much speculation that it will be a version of Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow\u2019s multimillion-dollar lifestyle business, which few could deny would be right up her street. It\u2019s not Goop \u2013 but it is something that is \u201cgenuine to who she is\u201d. Her imminent return to Instagram is surely connected. Having amassed more than 110,000 followers (including Mandana Dayani, former president of Archewell, and Kadi Lee, her hair colourist) without making a single post, she has already proved her pulling power. Sources close to Meghan insisted that she had no plans to revive The Tig, the successful lifestyle blog that she shut down after meeting Harry. She is not even thought to be aware of applications to renew the patent, which aides say are merely a formality to keep control of the brand. Harry comments in Heart of Invictus: <\/strong>Fuelled by years of therapy, the Duke had hoped that by laying his cards on the table he would provoke a reaction, laying the foundations for reconciliation. Those phone calls, that apology, never came and it is now time to move on. The Sussexes have long generated talk of new chapters. Now though, almost four years after they announced they were leaving the UK, they are finally settling into something resembling stability. The Games will mark the beginning of a new era as they move away from the royal bashing to focus on their soon-to-be-unveiled future careers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n [From The Telegraph]<\/p>\n The obsession with Harry and Meghan continues to be off the charts in Britain\u2019s media, despite that media\u2019s claims that H&M are unimportant or marginalized figures on the fringe of society. The thing which caught my eye was Ward\u2019s documentation of two adults who are married and thriving yet work on separate projects. Like\u2026 why is that some kind of indicator of marriage trouble? Why is it noteworthy in the least? \u201cMeghan is working on something separate from her husband, call the divorce lawyers!\u201d<\/em> This is also kind of interesting: \u201cIt shows there could have been a world in which a hybrid model could have worked.\u201d <\/em> There\u2019s a bittersweet truth to that, and much of the media and royal rancor towards the Sussexes is rooted in that very truth: that Harry and Meghan offered them a solution which would have worked well for everyone, but the Windsors were too stupid, petty, vindictive and sadistic to realize it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Photos courtesy of Backgrid, Archewell.<\/small><\/p>\n\n
Their Netflix deal is fine:<\/strong> Their Netflix projects rumble along in the background, albeit largely stalled due to the Hollywood writers\u2019 strike. Although concerns have been raised that their multimillion-dollar deal is teetering on the brink, industry sources insist that is not the case. Much has been made of the fact that the streaming giant has stumped up a reputed \u00a33\u2009million for the film rights to Carley Fortune\u2019s Meet Me at the Lake, a romantic novel that will be produced by the Sussexes\u2019 Archewell Productions. As part of the next phase of the deal, Harry is also hoping to return to Africa for a new documentary, although proposals are in their early stages.<\/p>\n
