The world now knows that Spotify parted ways with Meghan Markle & Prince Harry- well, mainly Meghan Markle's Archetypes Podcast. In fact there have been reports that her podcast was narcissist! I know the Harry-ites or the Sugars will attack me for saying this but I have my reasons.
Meghan only had celebrities on her podcast and I felt like she was trying to be the next Oprah except one element was missing: being relatable to the average person. Before Meghan married Harry; before she was acting, she once was a regular person (that her father supported! Paid for virtually everything so she could live her dream!)- so was the podcast itself considered a narcissist podcast? Perhaps only because it was celebrities and herself. A lot celebrity podcasts, talk to the microphone and /or camera and speak to us. Candace Owens is one. When Candace is speaking on her podcast, I felt like I am there, as she speaks to the people; as the people are part of the Podcast family.
One podcast triggered me. Meghan, spoke to actor Constance Wu, talked about the fact she had experienced sexual assault and harassment multiple times throughout her life and career, alleging that a producer on her hit show Fresh Off The Boat had “sexually harassed” and “intimidated and threatened” her “a lot”.
That was the one podcast I liked. But this is what I didn't understand, why didn't Meghan have normal people like you and I on her podcast? She is famous, by marrying Prince Harry. She could have used her fame to relate to people.. get normal people on air to talk about their struggles with Mental Health and Sexual Harassment, etc.. This would have been an excellent platform and I did contact Archewell about this as I thought, my story since I personally knew Prince Harry through polo,( and I was sexually assaulted at a polo club on a polo field), and also the charity I supported for several years, would have been something they would have (Archewell never responded to me, go figure lol. Remember, if it isn't good for PR, you will not get a response). Meaning, you and I, we do not matter in the Meghan Markle's PR world.- and yet on Archewell' website, they support "mental health"-my story is not only relatable, but something that I am sure Harry and Meghan would have wanted for their PR- but then again, would I have wanted to bring that out in the open? Not. really. That is a private conversation.
I would have opened up why I supported Sentebale and the connection with Harry, it was something that was relatable. I think the fact I was sexually assaulted on a polo field at a polo after party would have been something Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would have wanted to listen to as they always talk about Mental Health and supporting it- but again, it is all smoke and mirrors, it is all a PR game with them.
I can tell you, when I personally knew Prince Harry, he tried his best to be relatable to the people, at least on camera. Off camera, like most have spoken across Twitter, who have met him, say the same story: He isn't a nice guy. He comes off as a jerk. His father, King Charles III, and his brother and sister-in-law, are kind & lovely people. They have a kind heart and tries to get to know the people who show up for events both on and off camera.
That is me in 2004 at my friends father's polo charity cup. This was my 2nd time talking with Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales- now King Charles III. I first met him in 2003. The conversation was a good 5-10 with Charles. William, I met him at a Polo Ball 18 June 2004, more personal level. That story, is for me to talk on a Podcast, perhaps if Meghan and Harry would like that story be told on Archetypes- that is IF they get a new home. But for William, I would have to leave details out for the public lol.
So, this is my take on Archetypes, the podcast idea was there. Perhaps it was the PR person they hired for Podcast only thought, having celebrities is something the world wants. Well, the truth is, while it is nice having celebs on Podcasts, most of the listeners, both Meghan fans or foes, would have liked if they could have something to relate to and have normal people on the podcast- that is the failure of Meghan and Harry.
Harry sues media for his woes- why not look through the looking glass and find out who leaked to the press in the first place? and drop the lawsuit! Media gets sources and I am sure there is a record in the offices, filed somewhere with the sources names. Don't they pay the sources? (sometimes, I am sure they have!)
Meghan and Harry have caused so much stress upon the British Royal Family and also Harry's mates as well as Meghan's father. It isn't right what they are doing!
I can tell you 25 July 2004, the photo of Harry and I 'dancing' , about 1 or 2 hours before that photo, I was sitting at his table, he was speaking about creating what would become Sentebale- I never in my life met someone who spoke so much passion about something - that is the Prince Harry that is likable, and that was in a personal setting. PR didn't matter to him and that is how it should be! Even if he is showing up for his own charity event! That is the Prince Harry that many know and love - why can't he be like that? Harry, time to put the sword down. There is no need for a duel. Just . Let. It. Go. I have forgiven the person who sexually assaulted me 18 June 2004 (yes same evening I met Prince William & Kate Middleton- it happened 10-15 min after they left! and yes I know who he is. I saw him again 18 June 2016, that is why I look distraught in this photo. I came back to support a polo fundraising event. I am the blonde in the red dress.
Photos only tell one story- my story, my memories. That is the story maybe someday I will tell. With that said, why I looked that way, I saw the dude who did it to me 18 June 2004 at 10:45PM on the Grandstands. I kept a journal and wrote everything down after it happened because I was in shock! That was trauma! I can still remember the dude's scent of cologne, what he wore, what he did, how it got to there. I remember red everything and what will that do? Nothing except make me a stronger person, which it has. I forgiven that person. That is all I can do. If I can forgive the person who sexually assaulted me, why can't Harry just move on and stop with the vengeance? And yes, I was also upset with Harry's behavior in Lesotho towards me- that was on my mind, was it worth supporting a charity that Harry doesn't try to get to know the people? Especially with his attitude with me, as a Patron and others?
Yes, Sugars got upset when I pointed that out and said it was wrong to have feelings as charities is about the people and not the Patrons. I clapped back and said 'Without Patrons, the charities would fold, all I said was Harry should have come over and said hello in Lesotho, even if it was a group of us, he never once acknowledged anybody in the big tent. In fact he never came over and many people were talking a bout it! They were talking about Seeiso came over and chatted with us- a lovely person! Or when King Charles, when he was Prince of Wales, he always tried to get to know people, Patrons or not. That is why he is liked! Then William and Kate, also are like Charles. Lovely people.
So why doesn't Harry try the same thing? After all he knows he should do that! That was my point. So that day I had a lot on my mind, the person who sexually assaulted me was there, Harry's behavior and much more.
Harry, tell me ,was all this worth it? Opening up Pandora's Box? Was it worth hurting mates & family? People you met along the way? Was all this worth it? My honest opinion is- NO! Just like in Frozen, you have to learn to : "let it go.
