Meghan Markle warned not to steal money from Netflix

Meghan Markle
  • Tina Brown, a royal novelist and former Vanity Fair editor, revealed this information.
  • The author accused the princess of continuously “airing her grievances”.
  • Ms Brown also accused the couple of underestimating the difficulties that would arise as a result of their quest for economic gain.

Meghan Markle is under criticism in the United States for utilising the Royal Family and the grievances she has as a meal ticket.

Tina Brown, a royal novelist and former Vanity Fair editor, revealed this information.

During a visit to the Cheltenham Literature Festival, the author of The Palace Papers accused the princess of continuously “airing her grievances.”

Ms Brown started by confessing, “Harry’s always going to be royal. He will always have the iconic status that that has. He does have an identity, his Invictus has an authenticity and people relate to that.”

“I think Meghan does really need to find the thing she cares about the most and develop her own sort of brand that isn’t just a grievance brand — that is actually something we recognise as hers.”

“It’s hard to find that and I think she hasn’t yet found that but I think she could if she rows back from the focusing always on what didn’t work.”

During her interview, she even accused the couple of underestimating the difficulties that would arise as a result of their quest for economic gain.

She continued, “The Sussexes didn’t realise how hard it was to create a rival platform. You’re essentially at the mercy of PRs.”

“The people who achieved it, the George Clooneys and the Oprahs, they are very good at it.”

“It’s very difficult when you want to be above it. It’s much harder than it looks. Given that they’ve now staked their livelihoods on product, on entertainment, it’s going to be about what they do.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been ‘locked out’ of the US

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were barred from entering the United States.
  • This was revealed by an inside source close to The Spectator, through royal commentator Kara Kennedy.
  • Organizers did not invite them due to their “capacity to share,” according to Ms Kennedy.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were allegedly barred from entering the United States. Following their attempted return.

This bombshell revelation was provided by an inside source close to The Spectator, through royal commentator Kara Kennedy.

The insider in Los Angeles also said that “the main reason for them being excluded is that organizers know that all media attention would be on them and take away from the event or people there to celebrate.”

Ms Kennedy went on to explain that Meghan and Harry were denied an invitation due to their “capacity to share.”

She has previously admitted, “You and your partner can buy a mansion in the right zip code, hang out with the right people and say the right things at the right charity events, but that doesn’t make you a Hollywood power couple.”

“Modern-day stardom is about more than name recognition. It takes charisma, dedication and charm. For all their striving, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just don’t have it. Britain has realized this — and Hollywood is starting to realize it too.”

Never seen climatic catastrophe like the floods in Pakistan,’ says UN Secretary-General

Antonio Guterres
  • UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres tours flood-ravaged Pakistan.
  • He says he has ‘never seen climate carnage’ on this scale.
  • Blames wealthier countries for contributing to disaster.

Antonio Guterres says he has “just no words to convey” the carnage he witnessed in Pakistan, blaming wealthier nations for the disaster.

While touring flood-ravaged Pakistan, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he has “never seen climate carnage” on this scale, accusing wealthier countries for contributing to the disaster.

Flooding has killed almost 1,400 people and displaced over a million in Pakistan, which has swamped roughly one-third of the country and devastated crops in a country grappling with rising inflation and a balance of payment crisis.

“I have seen many humanitarian disasters in the world, but I have never seen climate carnage on this scale,” Guterres said on Saturday in the port city of Karachi on his second day of a visit in Pakistan.

“I have simply no words to describe what I have seen today,” he said.

Melting glaciers and record monsoon rains that began in June inundated more than a third of Pakistan, causing massive damage to homes, roads, bridges, rail networks, animals, and crops.

While Finance Minister Miftah Ismail assessed the entire loss at $10 billion in the midst of a protracted economic crisis, independent analysts put the cost between $15 billion and $20 billion, with fears that it could climb further.

Guterres has stated that he expects his visit will galvanise help for Pakistan, which has estimated the cost of the disaster at more than $30 billion, according to the government’s flood relief centre. Shortly after his arrival on Friday, the UN Secretary-General called for “huge” global assistance.

The terrible floods have also wreaked havoc on Mohenjo Daro, a famous 4,500-year-old archaeological monument in the southeastern Sindh province that UNESCO has listed as a World Heritage site.

According to Al Jazeera’s Zein Basravi, who reported from the site, while the rain spared the main structure, the conservation work done in previous years was destroyed.

“The visit by the UN team here is meant to illustrate a very clear picture, the important point here is that the human suffering is obvious and unparalleled and you can’t compare the loss of life to what is happening here, at the same time this is an existential threat: Climate change is now beginning to wash away human history as well,” Basravi said.

Pakistan receives heavy, often destructive, rains during its annual monsoon season, which is crucial for agriculture and water supplies. But downpours as intense as this year’s have not been seen for decades, while rapidly melting glaciers in the north have for months heaped additional pressure on waterways.

The National Ballet of Ukraine performed its first show in America following the Russian invasion earlier this year in Orlando, Florida, as dancers whirled and glided over the stage.

The ensemble showcased Ukrainian culture and portions of well-known ballets during the weekend performance, which benefited organisations that provide emergency medical care and humanitarian aid to Ukraine.

Mykyta Sukhorhova, a 31-year-old dancer from eastern Ukraine, said he danced to support his nation.

“I’m not in military… I can do what I can do,” said Sukhorhova, who fled Ukraine after the invasion, eventually making his way to Japan.

“If I can help in this, in this side of life, you know, it’s really good.”
