A hilarious sneak preview of the woke TV the world can expect from Meghan and Harry's $150million Netflix deal

You've got to hand it to Meghan and Harry.
No, seriously.
Pulling
off a $150 million Hollywood production deal is an amazing achievement
when your combined experience of producing anything in Hollywood could
be written on the back of a postage stamp.
Their entire joint CV would read something
like: 'Meghan was a suitcase girl on Deal or No Deal and an actress on
Suits, a TV show made in Canada. And Harry's shown some real thespian promise with his hostage video performances on camera during lockdown.'
But their stupendously rich paymasters Netflix didn't hire the Duke and Duchess for their experience, or lack of it.
The
world's most successful streaming giants hired them because they're
royal, titled, and therefore, as we've seen since the announcement
yesterday, can generate spectacular global media attention just by
breaking wind in public.
Netflix is betting on that media attention generating enough new subscribers to justify the massive price tag.
Hence
the comically over-the-top gushing statement from its co-CEO and chief
content officer, Ted Sarandos: 'Harry and Meghan have inspired millions
of people all around the world with their authenticity, optimism and
leadership. We're incredibly proud they have chosen Netflix as their
creative home – and are excited about telling stories with them that can
help build resilience and increase understanding for audiences
everywhere.'
Sarandos is one of the
smartest guys I've ever met in the media gamepo, but even he must have
struggled not to giggle as he read all that disingenuous sycophantic
drivel.
How could anyone possibly feel 'inspired'
by Meghan and Harry's 'authenticity, optimism and leadership' or
'resilience' given that they've spent the past two years whining,
quitting, living off rich people and preaching about equality from their
position of supreme elitism?
The couple's own statement was even more comically absurd.
'Our
lives,' it began, 'both independent of each other and as a couple, have
allowed us to understand the power of the human spirit: of courage,
resilience, and the need for connection.'
Sorry, WHAT?
This
is the same Meghan and Harry who've gutlessly run away from royal duty,
and disconnected themselves from everyone and everything, to become
shameless money-grabbing celebrities - right?
They
continued that they intend to shine a light on 'people and causes
around the world' by 'creating content that informs but also gives hope'
and want Netflix to help them 'share impactful content that unlocks
action'.
What does that even mean? Where is this action currently being locked, and what is it?
Then came the funniest bit.
'As
new parents,' they said, 'making inspirational family programming is
also important to us as is powerful storytelling through a truthful and
relatable lens.'
I laughed out loud at this point.
Two
people who've so heartlessly and ruthlessly deserted their own families
are now going to be telling us how to be good families?
As so often, this latest Meghan and Harry move is beyond parody.
But
what they have inspired is me to now cast a crystal ball and look into
the future to imagine the kind of hyper-woke, self-serving productions
that I look forward to seeing on Netflix from Megxit Productions:
1) HOW TO HAVE YOUR ROYAL CAKE AND EAT IT - An
inspiring and educational film in which the Sussexes throw vegan tea
(Echinacea, obviously!) parties at their palatial Santa Barbara mansion
for random strangers and explain how to milk (Almond…obviously!) the
Royal Family brand name for massive financial gain.
2) AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 PRIVATE JETS -
A lavish travel docu-series in which we follow the Duke and Duchess
around as they bang on endlessly about the environment, saving the
planet and the urgent need to reduce one's carbon footprint during live
broadcasts filmed aboard their famous friends' private jets. Cameos from
George Clooney, Sir Elton John and bankers from JP Morgan.
3) THE BROTHER GRIMM -
An animated children's film depicting a fierce sibling rivalry between a
saintly, much-misunderstood sensitive caring hero named Harry who never
does anything wrong and his evil older brother William who has the
audacity to think being the heir to the throne gives him some kind of
entitlement to be treated differently, and even worse, had the bloody
gall to suggest Harry think hard about marrying an ultra-woke,
fame-hungry, much older American C-list actress divorcee social climber
with a history of dumping people.
4) MEAT THE PARENT FOCKERS
- A horror movie reboot of the popular comedy movie franchise starring
the heroine's father Thomas – played by Robert de Niro – who gets
disowned for daring to do exactly what his daughter did and collude with
paparazzi, and ends up suffering a grisly demise when furious Meghan
throws him into a meat-packing mincer during an angry reunion. She
immediately blames the incident on the 'racist media'.
5) THE FROWN – A regal drama sequel
to The Crown in which a rogue asteroid hits Sandringham during Christmas
lunch, wiping out the top tier of the Royal Family, and meaning Harry
and Meghan – who snubbed the holiday to be on Oprah's yacht instead -
finally become King and Queen. Unfortunately, having got what they so
badly craved, they spend so much time whining about everything ('The
gold-plated Buckingham Palace toilet seats don't have enough gold in
them!) and greedily exploiting their new-found status (Meghan is caught
selling 'boring' royal art on eBay) that the British public rises up in
fury and demands Prince Andrew replaces them as Monarch to reintroduce
some integrity to the throne.
6) KEEPING UP WITH THE SUSSEXES
– A Kardashian-style 24/7 fly-on-the-wall reality show featuring Harry
and Meghan as two very private people leading very private lives with
lots of scenes involving their son Archie who they want to keep very
private.
7) FROGMORE COTTAGE –
An enthralling Downtown Abbey style period drama set inside the lavish
walls of the Sussexes' home in England where a huge privileged family
spend the entire time plotting against each other and settling endless
petty scores.
8) IS MEGHAN OK? -
A powerful mental health documentary filmed at the height of the
pandemic when health workers earning a pittance were dying in their
droves trying to save lives. It features Meghan, wearing a suit of armor
once worn by Joan of Arc, sitting inside billionaire star Tyler Perry's
Beverly Hills mansion, being served chilled champagne by a butler, as
Harry washes her laundry, asking the one burning question everyone in
the world was asking as Covid-19 ran riot – 'WHY DOES NOBODY ASK MEGHAN
IF SHE'S OK?'
9) WOKE ME UP BEFORE YOU GO GO -
A musical about a ginger-haired teetotal kale-munching pop star named
Harry Prince that falls for a fame-hungry B-list actress who forces him
to abandon his family and country, wokes him to within an inch of his
life, and then dumps him for Leonardo DiCaprio when he offers her
co-star role in Titanic 2.
10) I DON'T WANT TO BE A VACUOUS CELEBRITY ANY MORE, GET ME OUT OF HERE
– Harry finally grows a pair big enough to escape his woke hell, comes
home, plays naked billiards, re-joins the Army and marries one of the
dim blonde Young Conservatives that his brother told him he should marry
in the first place.

Why do I think that Piers maybe doesn't like Harry and Meghan all that much?
