Kinsey Schofield, host of Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered.Hi Kinsey.

0:04

Hi Kev, good to see you.

0:05

Always a pleasure.Well first up, she's at it again.Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex has been to Switzerland.where she's sobbing away, empathising with the relatives, the parents, the grieving parents of young people who have died due to, allegedly died due to online harm to what goes on online.It's a very worthy cause, but Megan turning up to cry about dead people It's becoming a bit of a thing, isn't it?No wonder critics call her the tragedy vulture.

0:41

We saw her after the Los Angeles fires, the wildfires there.We saw her recently, we're looking at pictures of her here, communing with the victims and the grieving relatives of those who died in the Bondi Beach slaughter.and now she's in Switzerland communing.

1:02

Children's hospital, where you can buy her clothes.Uvalde, Texas, where she showed up uninvited after a mass shooting at an elementary school.With cameras in tow and there was such an outrage that that they were advised not to use that footage in their Netflix series Well, yeah, so what is it that people say this woman is a tragedy vulture?

1:28

Whatever she is. I know this much and you know this much Kinsey She knows that a photo of her welling up as she talks to the victim or the relative of somebody who died in horrible circumstances, terrorism, online harm.She knows that that picture will garner her positive headlines.She's just cashing in on them, isn't she?

1:52

Well, I mean, and it just goes to show how lazy some of these journalists are, because if you GoogleMarkle powerful speech, you see how many major news outlets clearly copied and pasted, in my opinion, the Sussex Press release about this.Otherwise, why is Hello Magazine in style, page six, all running almost an identical headline, Meghan Markle powerful speech?It's just, it's lazy journalism.So she's getting her way when she does that.Her team is considering that a win.

2:30

I'd suggest if you're a viewer or a listener at home, it should make you more cynical when you see headlines like that because you realize that somebody sent a press release to a news organization and the writer is just sitting there and regurgitating what's been said versus reporting anything original or having their own opinion.But yeah, is Meghan Markle the ambassador to do this?Is she the right figure to do this?Hours before this speech, she shared a picture of Lily on social media to generate interest and headlines in her own profile.I think she uses people's suffering.I think she uses people's grief to promote herself, to elevate herself, and to try to change public perception from her toxic brand.

3:20

I think it's sick.I think, you know, you sent me this headline and I said, sicko, and I meant that.There's something very selfish and dark about Harry and Meghan's new strategy, which is using the suffering of others to promote their business, to promote, to try to promote and change their image.

3:40

Yeah, I agree with you.It's not right.It just rubs everybody out the wrong way.Talking of the toxicity of the Sussexes, Harry and Meghan, a bigarticles.By the way, my programme, What Just Happened, we were there first.

4:00

And this is the increasing shunning.of the gruesome twosome of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex by the A -list, many of whom attended their wedding.So, for example, Oprah Winfrey wouldn't be seen dead with them anymore, nor would David and Victoria Beckham.And many, many people who attended their wedding, big A -list star celebrities, now don't want to be seen with them, and I think it is to do with what we've just been discussing, that Meghan in particular just keeps putting herself in these very tawdry circumstances that, you know, are just a bit low rent.You know, as you say, trying to sell clothes.Going to see sick kids in hospital, effectively modelling clothes.

4:48

Now buy my sick kid in hospital outfit.Oh, now buy the outfit that I wore to meet the victims of the Bondi Beach Massacre.That's low rent behaviour and the A -listers who once flocked to them don't want to know any more.

5:05

I mean, I think they flocked to them because they didn't know any better.I think they flocked to them because people have a soft spot in their heart for Harry's mother and the palace did a great job of painting a picture of Harry that I don't think he truly was or is. I think that the palace worked overtime to reinvent him after he wore a Nazi costume.So interesting to hear his thoughts on Israel, you know, a few years later.Um, but.Yeah, I mean, I think that they're, they're trying to counteract this particular headline with a exclusive to Deadline, which they have presented Deadline, not Variety, who recently had a scathing piece about Meghan Markle, but Deadline, one of their competitors, about a newNetflix project that they have coming out allegedly, allegedly, allegedly, because I've seen nothing from them of value post -Polo, and Polo certainly wasn't of value, but called No Way Out, the searing true story of men under siege, and it's about the war in Afghanistan, And Deadline says that Matt Charman, he's an Oscar -nominated writer of Bridge of Spies, is writing this adaption for Netflix.

6:17

And they say that this is a part of Harry and Meghan's deal under Archwell, first look deal, which was a decline from their original exclusivity deal.So this, I think, piece in Deadline was presented to Deadline to try to counteract this story, but it's also kind of a threat.Harry and Meghan, because they push some of their other alleged upcoming projects in this piece, the wedding date, allegedly, meet me at the lake, allegedly, the lake is dried up, the lake is dried up, the sexy new polo drama that they want to compete with rivals that they're allegedly working on with Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage.It's a threat.They're saying you have to be nice to us because we could cast you in some of these things.We're going to in our producer roles, we are going to have a sort of power.

7:11

You're going to need us, in my opinion, is what.this is.And they're going to kind of force some of these associations or they're going to try to in their producing roles.But they've again, their their return on investment has not proven valuable to Netflix other than a reality show that has been milked dry.The Sussexes have no more access to the British royal family.And I think that the royals will continue to distance themselves.

7:42

They're not going to be able to recreate the magic of the HarryAnd they have not proven through Heart of Invictus, Live to Lead, Polo, or anything else that they're capable of recreating that magic.I think that this kind of story is a nothing burger.

7:58

Yeah, I mean, that's the point.I mean, you know, they announced they're going to make this Afghanistan movie.And you think, well, what happened to Meet Me at the Lake that you announced about three years ago?You bought the rights to that best -selling novel, said you're going to make a movie of that.That's all that seems to have happened.You just bought the rights and then didn't do anything.

8:27

And then they announce, oh yeah, we're going to make this film about Afghanistan.

8:31

Well, shouldn't you make the films that you've already announced before announcing a third movie that, frankly, on past experience, you just won't make?What the hell are they playing at?

8:44

Distracting distractions, distracting from the negative headlines.But I also I'm just saying we have power in Hollywood.We can help you.You don't want to blow us off.You don't want to be quoted saying something negative about us because we have this power over here at Netflix, which I don't really think is being valuable at all.I think Netflix just keeps giving them a break because Ted has a soft spot for these weirdos, which I'll never understand.

9:16

But yeah, I mean, this Afghanistan movie, It's in Harry's wheelhouse.It's really not in Megan's.You know, Harry, the same guy that bragged about 25 killing 25 Taliban and alienating a lot of that community because that is apparently not something you should ever discuss.I don't know if they'll support him in this.project if it actually ever comes to fruition, because he made a lot of enemies in gloating about that.that accomplishment in his eyes, I guess.

10:18

shooting weekends you know the Royals love to get together and blast birds out of the sky never happier than when they're killing animals the Royals but there they are blasting birds out of the sky And I don't think the same could be said about King Charles.

10:33

I don't think he really enjoyed that type of stuff.

10:35

Maybe, maybe not.But, you know, it's one of the things I've never appreciated the royals for their love of blasting birds out of the sky, killing innocent creatures for fun.They love it.But hey, ho.Anyway.He takes, as you do, his gun dog, he's a black Labrador, apparently, to this shooting thing, and there's some sausage rolls and wine and everything, and apparently the dog, as dogs do, you know that, Kinsey, leapt up and took a sausage roll from a plate.

11:07

Now, you know, most owners would go, oh, don't do that, Rex, or whatever the dog's called.Andrew turned around and kicked his dog in the head, and one of the guests, went up to him and said, you should not do that to your dog.Don't be cruel to your dog like that.And Andrew, of course, in not so many words, told this guest to get lost.Apparently, later, Prince Philip, when they were having dinner later, went up to that guest and said, well done for what you did earlier.More people should say that to Prince Andrew.

11:37

We agree with you.Yeah, he said we agree.

11:39

The only thing I would say to Prince Philip and the Queen then is, why didn't you say it more often, perhaps?

11:45

Smack him upside the head.The lack of discipline, the lack of accountability and the entitled behavior is something that they allowed to go on far too long.And that's why we saw, in my opinion, and potentially a police investigation will find we'll have to wait and see an abuse of power and an irresponsibility in his role.You know, sharing government secrets with a convicted sex offender is is not the moral thing to do.But.Abusing dogs innocent sweet dogs who just live for your happiness screw you guy like I was already done with you But I I believe this to be true based on everything else we've heard about him And you know, I mean, I think another example of this and it's not as extreme as when the queen said I don't want any more dogs.

12:37

I don't want to outlive my dogs.I think you can relate to that.I certainly can I I I know my dogs are Here I don't want any dogs that would outlive me because I think that's cruel They're gonna have a different lifestyle than the one I would provide for them I have four dogs that sleep with me and Andrew went and bought her two dogs and You know that and one of them passed away and then they replaced that dog And so, you know, they added additional stress to her life after she made a very clear, you know Statement about what she wanted to happen.They they you know, added additional stress by bringing these puppies into her life because they knew better.No, it was additional work.And now you're worried you're going to trip over a puppy.

13:17

We don't know what happened to the first puppy that passed away.God knows what happened to that dog.But it's just like he's so irresponsible when it comes to animals, allegedly.

13:26

Yeah.Well, I'll tell you one thing, Kenzie.I think it's pretty much the same in America but in Britain we will forgive a man a lot of things but we will not forgive anyone for kicking their dog in the head that is where we draw the line I know that Americans are the same so to hell with Prince Andrew for that kicking his poor dog in the head because he took a sausage roll.It's a dog.

13:51

My fattest dog loves nothing more than to grab the pizza out of my hand and haul you -know -what in the opposite direction.God love her.

13:59

If you don't understand that about dogs, you don't understand dogs.He clearly didn't.
