This discussion between Kinsey Schofield and Mark Dolan covers the ongoing scrutiny and controversies surrounding Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, particularly following the Vanity Fair article that critically analyzed their post-royal careers. Dolan provides strong opinions about the couple, especially Meghan, while Schofield contributes insights into their public perception and alleged professional missteps. Kinsey has no Netflix show or marriage.

Key Points Discussed:

1. Prince Harry’s “Tragic Mistake”
   • Dolan argues that Meghan Markle is the worst thing to happen to Harry since the loss of his mother, Princess Diana.
   • He believes Harry has been “hoodwinked” and trapped in a controlling relationship.
   • Harry was once the most popular royal, but his association with Meghan has led to widespread backlash.
2. Meghan as a Manipulative Figure
   • Schofield and Dolan agree that Meghan exhibits narcissistic and controlling behaviors.
   • Many former staff members describe her as a bully, with one former employee from the Sussex Survivors Club stating, “She doesn’t do disappointment well.”
   • The Vanity Fair article mentioned Meghan’s team scouting publishers for a book deal in the event of a divorce, which Dolan calls “cynical in the extreme.”
3. Harry’s Isolation and Diminished Role
   • Dolan claims Harry has no way back to the UK, having burned bridges with his brother (Prince William), father (King Charles), and the British public.
   • Meghan has strategically separated their professional ventures, indicating that she may no longer need Harry for success.
4. Criticism of Their Career and Netflix Deals
   • The couple’s Spotify and Netflix deals have underperformed, with critics mocking their lack of original content.
   • Harry’s book Spare was a bestseller, but beyond that, their ventures have been largely unsuccessful.
   • Dolan argues that Meghan’s projects serve more to market herself than to provide meaningful content.
5. The “Cult-Like” Perception of Meghan
   • Dolan likens Meghan’s influence over Harry to a cult, where he is “under her spell.”
   • He references Stockholm Syndrome, suggesting Harry feels trapped yet still protective of Meghan.
   • Their public branding continues to focus on victimhood, despite their immense wealth and privilege.
6. Public Perception and Ongoing Backlash
   • The couple is widely criticized for damaging the Royal Family’s reputation and allegedly causing stress to Queen Elizabeth II before her passing.
   • Many believe their actions contributed to strained family relationships and King Charles’ declining health.
   • Despite the backlash, Dolan acknowledges Meghan’s ruthlessness and ability to stay relevant, comparing her to Cruella de Vil.
7. What’s Next for Meghan and Harry?
   • Schofield suggests Meghan may now be positioning herself for a solo career, distancing from Harry.
   • Dolan predicts Meghan will prevail professionally, but Harry will struggle due to his reliance on royal connections.
   • The general sentiment is that Harry sacrificed everything for Meghan, and his ability to recover from this reputational damage is uncertain.

Instead of the media constantly portraying Harry and Meghan as the unstable ones, it’s entirely possible that Kate and William’s marriage is the one in trouble, and the press is using Meghan and Harry as a distraction. The British tabloids have a long history of deflecting from internal Royal Family issues by scapegoating an outsider, and Meghan has been the perfect target.

Why the Media Might Be Using Meghan and Harry to Cover Up Royal Issues

1. Divorce Rumors About Kate and William
   • There have been ongoing rumors for years about William’s alleged affair with Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley.
   • Recently, speculation around Kate’s sudden disappearance from public life has fueled further questions.
   • Instead of addressing potential marital issues within the future King’s household, the media conveniently shifts focus to Meghan and Harry, who no longer have any real power in the monarchy.
2. They Have No Real Insight into Harry & Meghan’s Lives
   • The British press acts as if they have insider knowledge about Harry and Meghan’s relationship, business failures, or personal struggles.
   • In reality, they don’t have sources inside Montecito, and much of their information comes from “Royal experts” who have never met the Sussexes.
   • It’s all guesswork and projection, often designed to stir negative headlines rather than report factual information.
3. The Hypocrisy of Royal Coverage
   • Kate has been in hiding for weeks, and there’s no real explanation, yet the media isn’t investigating it seriously.
   • Meanwhile, every move Meghan makes is criticized, even though she’s not part of the royal system anymore.
   • It seems like the press wants people focused on “hating Meghan” rather than questioning what’s going on with Kate and William.
4. If Anyone Is Headed for Divorce, It’s Probably Not Harry & Meghan
   • Despite the endless “Harry regrets Meghan” narrative, they still appear very much together and in control of their own lives.
   • Meanwhile, Kate and William’s interactions in public have often seemed cold and forced, fueling speculation about unhappiness behind the scenes.
   • If Kate does end up divorcing William, the media will likely spin it as her bravery, while still blaming Meghan for somehow “causing problems” in the Royal Family.

Final Thought:

The British press thrives on distraction, and the obsession with Meghan and Harry might just be a smoke screen for deeper issues within the monarchy. If a Royal divorce is coming, odds are it won’t be the Sussexes—but rather, Kate and William. The real question is: why is the press so desperate to make sure no one talks about that? Schofield and Dolan see Meghan as an opportunist who has masterfully manipulated her way to global fame, while Harry remains trapped in a situation that has left him estranged from his family and country. They predict Meghan’s star will continue to rise, while Harry’s options will dwindle—unless he manages to break free from her influence.

Their takeaway? Harry made his choice, and now he’s happy to be with his happy family.
