Prince Harry and Meghan Markle make list of appearance demands

From a report at the link below:

They really are royal pains.

Britain’s Duke and Duchess of Sussex (pictured above) have issued a long list of demands involving their speaking appearances — including an upfront guarantee of the exact amount of money they will be paid and the ability to choose who introduces them and moderates the event, a report said Tuesday.

Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle — who last week inked a multimillion-dollar production deal with Netflix — recently signed on with the New York-based powerhouse Harry Walker Agency to rep them for speaking engagements.

According to a four-page “Virtual Event Request Form” devised by HWA for the royal duo, the pair will have the say-so on every detail of their online appearances, said London’s Telegraph, which obtained a copy of the conditions.

For example, “The choice of Introducer and Moderator will be at the final discretion of the Speaker,” the form states.

In addition, “The Fee will need to be paid directly from the contracting organization’s account.”

As this report began: They really are royal pains.

It also comes complete with a two-bed guest house, perfect for Markle’s mom Doria.

After the couple took legal action against photographers for breaching their privacy at their LA rental home, there’s no way that anyone is getting into their new pad, which is gated and secure.

The tests were carried out by the NHS in Aberdeenshire where they met the criteria required for testing.”

Queen Elizabeth plans to ‘keep calm and carry on’ during coronavirus

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, tells her agent to find her a role as a Hollywood superhero!

For the Duchess of Sussex wants to play a superhero in a blockbuster movie – and has told her agents to 'actively search' for a suitable role.

Meghan has made no secret of her wish to return to acting as she seeks financial independence and has already reportedly signed a charity voice-over deal with Disney.

Report: Prince Andrew reportedly let a supermodel sit on the Queen’s throne at Buckingham Palace

From a report at the link below:

Prince Andrew tried to woo an American supermodel with dates in Buckingham Palace — even letting her sit on his mom the Queen’s throne, a report said Sunday.

The royal — long-dubbed “Randy Andy” in his homeland — went on a series of dates in 2000 with model Caprice Bourret, a household name in the UK who recently starred in the reality TV show “Dancing On Ice.”

Prince Andrew - Caprice Bourret

She ultimately “ghosted” the prince because she “didn’t fancy him,” friends told The Sun on Sunday — but not before she was allowed to take a keepsake while being wined and dined in the palace.

“He took her to Buckingham Palace twice, and on one occasion she sat on the Queen’s throne,” a source close to Caprice told the UK paper. “She spotted a bowl she liked and asked Andrew if she could steal it and [mail] it to her mom. She claims that he let her, and her mom loved it!”

Caprice — who also dated rocker Rod Stewart — always treated her dates with Andrew as platonic, the source claims.
