Chuckle, chuckle…

“The Duchess of Sussex has been dismissed as a talentless broadcaster by one of Hollywood’s most powerful figures.

Jeremy Zimmer, who has guided the film careers of stars such as Benedict Cumberbatch and Damian Lewis, gave his withering verdict on the abilities of the American former actress after streaming giant Spotify axed its £18million deal with her and Prince Harry after just one podcast series.

Zimmer, the chief executive of United Talent Agency, said he was not surprised that Spotify had ditched the couple.

‘Turns out Meghan Markle was not a great audio talent, or necessarily any kind of talent,’ he said.

Speaking to the news website Semafor at the Cannes Lions advertising festival in France, Zimmer added. ‘And, you know, just because you’re famous, doesn’t make you great at something.’ …”

I'm speculating that she may be good at one or two things.

Cumberbatch is in some decent movies. he's a marvel dork now but he was in The Imitation Game (Alan Turing period piece) and he was in 1917.

Damian Lewis played Major Dick Winters in Band of Brothers.

She has one job. That’s all she’s equipped for. She’s got poor character, no talent, apparently no higher education, no work ethic, too much pride and a chip on her shoulder. She’d better do her one job right or she’ll be out on her ear and washed up before she’s 45. The prince can always make a groveling prodigal apology and get his tilted crown back. Cinderella will go back to rags.

Well, at least she is not alone, as far as people who appear on film or TV. Welcome to the club, Meghan.

If they'd let her polish knobs on TV or the internet, I'd take a look. Lacking that, not interested.

Well, right now she is right up there with Jill Biden and Gisele Fetterman fighting for the top spot as worst wife currently alive.

Meghan Markle is truly remarkable in her ability to be absolutely despised almost universally, and yet somehow seem to remain wholly unaware of that fact. She is a no good, talentless bitch; of that there is no real dispute. She seems to have quite the knack at destroying families though.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Played Lieutenant Winters in Band of Brothers. Was also in Homeland. Pretty talented guy and was very cool to the original 506th guys he worked with in BoB. Did a lot of promo with them. You’d never know he’s a Brit.

A young person sees the world as a still picture, immutable. An old person has had his nose rubbed in changes and more changes and still more changes so many times that that he knows it is a moving picture, forever changing. He may not like it--probably doesn't; I don't--but he knows it's so, and knowing is the first step in coping with it."

Actors play make believe and read what other people write. It's the only time they should open their pie hole.

Well, she can always take on the starring role in "My Life on the D-List", formerly starring Kathy Griffin.

From Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...y_Life_on_the_D-List

Just substitute Meghan Markle for Kathy Griffin in the paragraph below.
quote:
Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List is an American reality television series that aired on Bravo from August 3, 2005 to August 3, 2010.[1][2] The series follows the struggle of self-proclaimed "D-list" celebrity Kathy Griffin to climb the Hollywood ladder. This often includes scheming for publicity with staffers Jessica, Tiffany, and Tom. Her relationships with her parents and her now ex-husband were also featured.

I'm glad to see this grifting pair of losers finally get rejected by society.

Maybe Harry can divorce her and return to his father's good graces, I'm 100% convinced that the shrew he married brainwashed him and turned him like that all for her benefit.

Why does it need clarifying? Do you have some relative that I offended?
