'Their neighbours said...' Meghan and Harry BOMBSHELL Exposed | Daily Expresso

Americans had a lot of goodwill for them.A lot.They have just taken a nosedive ever since.I don't know if it could get any worse.

What about all of their Hollywood deals?What's going on?

Well, here's the deal.Netflix got their big money out of Harry and Meghan and nothing else worked out because it was all just rehashed kind of sh**.Nothing about them is inherently interesting with the exception of...

Where are Meghan's mates?

But one of the reasons our neighbors can't stand them...

Oh, I don't want to get myself in trouble here.Hello and welcome to a very special edition of the Daily Expresso.Today I'm joined by the star of News Nation, a native New Yorker, the queen of showbiz and royalty, Paula Froelich.Paula, welcome.

Stop, I'm blushing.Although actually, to be fair, I am not a native New Yorker, although everyone thinks I am one.

How are you so?

Well, I was born in England.Oh.

And then I grew up - Must your accents.

Yeah, but not my passport.Yeah, then I grew up mostly in Ohio and Kentucky.

And that intro is terrible then.

No, no, it's understandable why I left at 17.So yeah.

Right.Listen, you are an American.I was gonna say a New Yorker.You're an American.You are an American.You've got your finger on the pulse.

Mark Dolan of the Mark Dolan show says you are an American who knows their onions.

Yes, which is ironic as I don't really cook that much.But thank you, Mark.

So we want to know what America thinks of our royal family.We're going to start with Meghan and Harry in the US.What is happening with them?Let's start with that.Let's go on with those two over there.

I don't know.I think they're both, you know, having traumatic fits on the daily.I mean, the problem is they came in and Americans had a lot of goodwill for them.A lot.And they have just taken a nosedive ever since.Like, it's just

I don't know if it could get any worse.

Really?

Yeah, their popularity is around about where they are in England, 20%.

Wow.Yeah.What about all of their Hollywood deals?You know, they landed in the U .S.and it was like, they got all these celebrity friends, but it's, and they, oh, they had the Spotify, they got the Netflix deal.

What's going on?

Well, here's the deal.Just because you're famous doesn't mean you're smart or interesting.And I think that Hollywood found that out pretty quick.So they were given lots of deals.Really, the deals were to sew up the interesting story of the look into the royal family because as we both know, and everyone knows, no one had ever really talked before.That was their number one thing.

It was Harry's number one gripe.Oh, no one, you know, they, everyone talks about us.Oh, they're horrible.And then he talked about them.So it was really to sew that up.Spotify wanted them for the chatty chat version of it.

Didn't work out.You know, Bill Simmons called them the effing grifters, which has stuck, unfortunately, for them.And then Netflix got their big money out of Harry and Meghan, and nothing else worked out because it was all just rehashed kind of crap.I don't know if I can say that on here.

You can say rehashed.That's okay.

Perfect.And, you know, nothing, as we've seen, nothing about them is unique.Nothing about them is inherently interesting, with the exception of his family.So the biggest issue came as she was like, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do this.And it was all very much like, fling crap on the walls and see what sticks.And unfortunately, it was running and nothing really stuck.

So what can you say?

Well, you and I first met in 2020.Covid.Six years later, we're still friends.

Yeah.

Now, where are Megan's mates?Because she had Oprah Winfrey.She had Serena Williams.Where are they now?

Okay, so let's be real clear about what we say when we say mates.You and I are mates.

Oh, phew, thank God.

I thought you were going to say, we're not mates.But like, let's look at their wedding.You know, the biggest issue with Megan is everything is a role to her.And she's constantly auditioning for the uber role that she's always wanted.And unfortunately, somebody already has that role.Her name is Lauren Sanchez Bezos.

However, Megan is desperately trying to be the A -list.So we saw it at her wedding.All these people showed up whom she had never met in person.Oprah knew who she was, of course.Meghan knew who Oprah was, but were they friends?No.

Amal and George.At the wedding, someone asked George Clooney, how do you know Meghan?And he's laughing.I don't.You know, and of course he shows up.I mean, I would want to go to that wedding just to be a fly on the wall.

And him and Amal were like, sure, why not?Giggle.You know, and same thing.Her and Serena actually knew each other.That's fine.But as we've seen, Serena's moved away from that.

Serena's sister, Venus, never liked Megan and was appalled when Harry was given the Pat Tillman award.So Pat Tillman was a, very famous, insanely good looking, pro footballer, and by that I mean American football.

So fake football.

You know, we'll move on.You're my friend.But we, you know, he so they were, he was a footballerwho left money and fame to join the military after 9 -11, said it was his calling.He was killed, unfortunately, by friendly fire.And so they started the Pat Tillman Foundation and Awards.

Yes, I think it was ESPN, or ESPYs took it over.And he then, His family was appalled when Harry was given the Pat Tillman Award for service, because as it was pointed out, Harry actually turned his back on service and went for the cash.He did a reverse Pat Tillman.And everyone was kind of grossed out by it.And this is maybe two years after they had moved to the States.So, you know, the gloss had come off.

People were really appalled at the attacks on the family.They were appalled at his book spare.They were appalled at what was seen as a major cash grab.And it was.So that's when it really started to go downhill.And Venus Williams was at the Pat Tillman ceremony and ignored the couple.

So, Serena is, you know, has always been a little bit softer towards Megan.But it seems, you know, even that has turned as Serena takes Emma Thin to the Marchioness of Bath to the Met Gala, something that Megan would have loved to have gone to.

Okay.Well, hold up.If you're enjoying this episode, make sure you smash the hype button.Also like, subscribe, comment, tell us what you think about our American guest today.But back to Harry, Paula.So is that the turning point for Harry in America?

Is that where the Americans said, no, actually, now we no longer like you?

The turning point was Bill Simmons calling them effing grifters.That was when everyone wasoh, it's okay.You know what?Everyone was kind of feeling icky about them, right?Like the extreme attacks on the family.

And say what you will about Americans, I'm sure everyone's got a lot to say about us.

Obese.Firing guns.

Listen.

Diabetes to the roof.

Are you calling me fat?Fine, you can pay for my ozempic.It's coming out of JJ's pocket.

I mean, how dare you?

Say what you will.However, we are family oriented.And I think people are already freaked out about how Megan treated her father.Yeah.And continues to treat her father.And it just seemed like she would Love, love, love you until you weren't useful anymore and then drop you off.

Now Harry had a little bit more grace from people, but It was the crap that they were producing that they wanted to shove down Americans' throats, like they're lousy podcasts, right?And then it started letting slip that Harry had this great idea where he wanted to talk to world leaders about their daddies and how they ended up so crazy and he didn't.It was so patronizing and ridiculous.And you were all just like, wow, you really do think we are stupid.And, you know, it's just, it all, and then when the second Bill Simmons was like, effing grifters, we're like, oh, dude, yes, thank you.Who opened the gates?

Because I knew something was wrong.We're hearing things are wrong.You're losing staff left, right, and center.And America really doesn't like it when you treat the working people or little people as some, you know, upper class people call them.nastily because we are the country where you might be a little person tomorrow, but you could be a billionaire in a week.Not a week, a couple years.

But we still have the American dream and you never treat anyone nasty.So when it started coming out that a lot of people were leaving Artswell, not just production companies but foundations and people who left really good jobs and then they're going and after three months they just leave with a, well, we did what we came to do.Bye, no, no, we're all fine.And it was just, you're just like, man, you give me the ick.

If Harry Meghan got divorced tomorrow, who do you think the American people are going to sympathize with and take sides with?Because you've got to pick whether it's Brad Pitt and Angelina.I'm team Brad, by the way.

Everyone is team Brad.

Yeah.

I mean, come on.Let's be honest.Angelina can't get hired for a reason.People in the world know who she is, but nobody wants to hang out with her.Women hate her ever since Jennifer Aniston.Yeah.

And the fact that every guy she's ever been with has been married or living with someone and she did not care.She ain't no girl's girl.Getting back, no, of course they pick Harry, but Harry's ruining his own, you know, Harry's coming off as just a bit of a prat anyway, as you would say.

Oh, very good English there.

However, you know, no, Meghan is not, they're not going to get divorced though, that's what some people hope.But no, I mean, first of all, not at the very least until those kids are 18.

Okay.If you were advising Carrie and Meghan today, Because you've given advice to many rich, powerful people throughout your career.What would you tell them to do next?

Well, I actually did.I have a wonderful sub stack.Paula Froelich andAnd I think I got a little bored over the holidays.And I just said, well, here's $50 ,000 worth of free advice.And I wrote it down for them.

And of course, they didn't take it.Pretty sure they read it.But they needed to go.They need to go away for a hot minute.They need to stop.everything.

And by everything, I mean, but they won't.I mean, the one off thing was just absurd.I get being an investor, I'd love to know how much they invested wink, because I'm sure a lot of it is in kind.But yeah, they need to they need to just go away.And what I would say they should do while they go away for a year or two, Harry, who claims that he wants to give his life to service, but doesn't actually understand how to work.I would tell Harry, there are plenty of things around you.

You know, they live in a very wealthy area, 20 minutes south, one of the poorest areas in California.Why don't you go?Why don't you volunteer?They also have volunteer firefighters.You know, Harry is not book smart, if you will, that's being very sweet, but not the sharpest knife in the drawer.And so go do something like, you know, with your hands.

Go work with a bunch of lads, make actual friends instead of just sitting around, possibly smoking some dope and hanging out with your, you know, bodyguards, your paid friends.

Prince Harry as a firefighter.He's got the fiery red hair down already.So that could be a good look.

Well, listen, there's, I'm telling you, there's plenty of things for them to do to devote their life to service.But one of the reasons our neighbors can't stand them is they don't do anything for the community.And so go devote your life to your community.

So I did not know that.So therich famous neighbors in Montecito, they don't like Harry and Meghan.

Harry and Meghan are very, it's a little, I don't want to get myself in trouble here.But have you ever met those people who, let's say this is you, this mic is you.

Okay.

And let's say, I'm a jerk.And you're like, Oh my god, I love you.Oh my god, you're so great.And they're constantly looking over your shoulder to find the bigger, better deal.Yeah, so they're a little bigger, better deal BBD.And I hope that doesn't have a bad connotation in this in the UK.

BBC over here.

Great.Well, you know, they're a little bigger, better deal.They will take people who they think can get them somewhere or are but anyone else.And they also step on toes that way, too.Because if you're not introduced, or they don't know who you are, then but that might be the biggest person in the room.Right, you know.

So frankly, they're just snobs.And It's hilarious.

Why are Americans so fascinated by the Royal Family in general?

I feel like Americans really loved Queen Elizabeth and they still love King Charles.

Well, the thing is, is that you look at Queen Elizabeth, and first of all, people thought, ooh, the glamour, people still living.castles.You know, and Americans who haven't been out of the country don't realize that castles are drafty and quite often nasty.You know, with hundreds of years of people peeing in the corner, it's disgusting.But, you know, it did seem very glamorous and all this other stuff, and of course, there's all the, you know, like, Bridgerton crap.Which is, you know, great, but I think they also admired the Queen, you know, it's not it's not a glamorous job opening supermarkets 10 times a day, every day, for how many years?

You know, it's not a glamorous job sitting next to a dictator who may or may not have murdered 50 % of his country, but you gotta do it!And, you know, and putting on a smile and taking the photos thinking, oh Jesus, you know?

Do you guys prefer King Charles to Queen Elizabeth?

No one prefers King Charles to Queen Elizabeth.What are you on crack?No.But listen, I am not a Charles hater.I have to say a good friend of mine was Joan Rivers and Joan Rivers loved King Charles and now Queen Camilla and they were very good friends and Joan had excellent, excellent sense of judgment.And she loved him, so I can't say a word about him.

Okay.You know?And also, they just sound like good times.

They seem like fun.Well, let's move on to Charles's brother, Andrew.Oh boy.No longer a prince.Good friends.I would say perhaps he was best friends with the world's most famous nonce, Jeffrey Epstein.

That's a nice way of putting it.

Thank you.

We have to be PC.Perhaps there are some children watching.

Although hide your kids, we're talking about Epstein.How is Andrew viewed in America?

Oh God.

Are people like, oh but he's a prince?

No!No!People in America are like, why isn't he in prison?WTF is going on?But then again, I mean, let's be clear, why isn't everybody on Epstein's list in prison, including political figures?We'll move on.

Well, pop stars, look at Jay -Z.He was named in the Epstein files.

Let's be careful with that.

You're scared of getting sued by the Knowleses.

No, I like Jay -Z.I like Beyonce.When I started out in the industry in the 2000s, they were good to me, man.Look at my first book.It's a list of bizarros.My first book was basically how to get famous.

And on the back, I had people like Puffy Combs and Donald Trump and Beyonce Knowles, a little known singer at the time.Give me quotes.So yeah, I'm not messing with Beyonce.I like her.And Jay, you know, he was never nasty to me. I'm not mad at him.

Right.But everyone named in Epstein files should be fully investigated.

Let's look at who named him.All right.It was that it was investigated, it was deemed not a credible story, and people have come out.And then the person who went after Jay recently hired a lawyer who's now being sued for lying.You know, here's the deal.Do I think that Jay is a saint?

No, I don't, Team Solange.But at the same time, you know, I'm not...Let's be real honest.Did Epstein hang out with black people?No, he was a racist.Really?

The only black person he hung out with wason the regular, was Naomi Campbell.

What about Bill Cosby?Did he hang out with Bill Cosby?I'm just jumping.

No, I mean, listen, they're scumbags of all color, but, you know, they didn't all just hang out, you know?No, Epstein was, I mean, look at all of Epstein's friends.

Do you know what I mean?Gosh, I never heard anyone call Epstein a racist before.

Hi.

I'm just saying, of all the accusations levied against that man, I've never heard a racist be one of them.Stone cold.

Yeah.You know how you can tell a racist?

How?

They don't hang out with people who aren't their own race.

Moving on.Right, moving on.Who really controls Hollywood?Is it studio bosses?Oh boy, that's a loaded question, isn't it?Is it the woke mob?

What the hell?

It's money, dude.

But they're all losing money with these woke movies, like you said in your Supergirl movie?

No, they're not doing woke anymore.The s*** coming out now has been in the works for a couple years, but trust me, it's not going woke anymore.It's all about money, what they think they can do, which is why Hollywood has such horrific How do I put this?Taste, right now?Because the studio bosses are like the bean counters, and the bean counters are like, you know what's gonna do well?Fast and Furious 904.

You know?Or like, I know, Tom Cruise, well, he's pushing 900, but we can do another Mission Impossible.He said he will fly off Mount Everest in a batsuit.You know, so they in their minds, they just want that, you know, they just want a surefire hit.But that's a problem.Look at what Martin Luther King did.

did.They ruined everything.So look at what Disney's doing to Star Wars.You know, it's just like, Jesus Christ, wait till they get, wait till Amazon rolls out the James Bond.It's gonna be like, James Bond's little sister was a spy too.

Like Enola Holmes.And you're like, oh.

It's just ridiculous.And then every now and again, you get a movie.I mean, the only studio that's worth anything right now is one called A24.

They make great movies.Yeah, they're the only one.

And they're like the only old school, like forgive the reference, but Miramax back in the day, yes, Harvey was probably still raping or raping women.But yeah, you know, Miramax did have good movies, and they didn't make them for that much money.

Yeah.

And then boom, through campaigns pushed it through.Like, Shakespeare in Love should not have been an Oscar winning movie.but he pushed it through.A24 is actually making movies for decent amounts, like decent as in not huge, and then making huge money.So that is one studio.Google, of course, just put in a ton of money for AI for them, but I think it's gonna be interesting.

You gotta get creative mixed with being counting.Again, I'm American, I'm not opposed to making money.But I'm also like, man, come on, you gotta have a balance.

Is there any big Hollywood drama that you can tell us about that we don't, the public doesn't know about?

Oh my God, that's like, I mean, if you don't know about it, it's because I haven't written about it yet and I'm not about to get sued.

It's okay, no one's watching this episode, it's fine.Yeah, keep going.Well, let's end on a quick fire round, okay?Why not?Here we go.Done.

Nicest celebrity you've ever met.

Nicest?I love me some Mariah Carey.She and I always got along.

But you got along with P. Diddy as well, so, I mean, your taste obviously isn't that great.Oh boy.

Listen.P. Diddy once threatened my life, and I gave it right back to him.He's threatened your life?

Well, you know, I was - Well, he pulled out a gun, he said, I'm gonna kill you, but this is America.

No, no, we were at a lunch, he had just, I know this is supposed to be quick fire, so if you don't want the story, let me know.No, no, I want the story, you started.Oh, geez, we were at this fricking lunch, it was his first fragrance for Estee Lauder, and everyone was there.

Oh, Sean John, I remember that fragrance.

And I had, I had been writing stuff about him, because, you know, I mean, he was kind of a jerk, right?and didn't tip people, was just nasty to people and whatever.So I was like, bleep, bleep, bleep.And so his PR guy walks up and he's like, everyone called him Puffy.And they were like, Puffy, this is Paula Froelich.He goes, I know who you are.

And I was like, oh, well, that's fabulous, because I know who you are.And he was like, you better stop writing that shit about me.And I was like, okay, well, why don't you stop doing it?And he was like, I'm serious.you better stop writing that.And I go, and he goes, or I'm going to get you.

And I said, all right, cool.And meanwhile, his PR guy, there's this little bead of sweat running down his face.And he moves a step and I was like, I got this.So what are you going to do to me?And he goes, well, you don't need to know.You just need to know that when you're not looking and you least expect it, I will be there and I will get you.

And I go, okay, cool.And he goes, cool.And I go, let me tell you what I'm going to do to you.And he goes, yeah, I go, well, you got to understand, I was raised a little redneck.And I know how to street fight.And he goes, yeah, I go, well.

I'd slash your Achilles tendon and while you're writhing on the ground in pain, I'd step on your throat. AndAnd he goes, I like that.And I go, don't steal it.It's my signature.And then like two days later, he called me for lunch and I said no.And he said, why not?

And I said, because you're always late and I don't do late.And then we ended up going to lunch and he was two minutes late and he called me, don't leave, don't leave.I said, you got three minutes.I told you I'd give you a three minute grace period and you got 30 seconds.

He made it.Wow.Okay.But the nicest celebrity you've ever met is Mariah Carey.

I love her.Man, as long as you know people and you, I have very low to no expectations.And so when they are met and exceeded, I am just pleased.

Okay.Most overrated celebrity?

Jennifer Lopez.

She's the nicest one I've ever met.Rudest celebrity.

Oh God, this list is too long.Go on.I mean, here's the problem with celebrities.A lot of people don't realize this.The age at which somebody gets famous is the age that their emotional maturity stops.And so if you've got somebody who has been a celebrity since they were 12, they're probably going to be a big fat jerk.

Yeah.There's still a nasty rude 12 year old.

So, you know, try think of people who are famous when they're 12 years old now.

Well, or their maturity level stops like look at Britney Spears.She is, you know, she's nice.She's emotionally, I would say actually 11.

Okay.All right.Who is exactly like their public image?Geez, I don't know.Jerry Seinfeld.So he's a jerk in real life, and he's a jerk on camera?

No, I don't think he's a jerk.I think he's just blah, blah.You know, it's like, Larry David plays himself.There's a lot of people who play themselves, you know?But they don't, and there are also actors who are, oh, but they're so good, because, and you're like, no, because they're playing themselves, but they don't see themselves that way, right?

It's like Ryan Reynolds was always like, I'm Mr. Fun, nice guy.

And you're like, dude, no, you're not.

Yeah.You know?Yeah.Ryan Reynolds.I'm not a fan of his either.

I don't think anyone is these days.

Who should play the next James Bond?Idris Elba.He's too old.

What?

He's too old.It's got to be a young person.

By the way, that's baloney.

No, it's not baloney.

What's too old these days?

Plus 50.

Why?

Because they want to reboot Bond.It's got to be a young Bond.They want to have many moves from this Bond character.So it's got to be someone who's probably late 20s to early 30s so they can get at least five moves out of them across their lifetime.So Idris Elba.

I'm sorry, Tom Cruise is 904 and they've gotten a gazillion Mission Impossibles out of him.

He started Mission Impossible when he was in his 40s, Paula.Not when he was 56 like Idris Elba.

Oh, I'm sorry.If he was admitting to being 40, how old do you think he really was when he started?JK, Tom.

Harry or William?

What, really?Is that even a question?Of course we'll take William.The whole world takes William.The only person who'll take Harry is this PR guy, Liam.

New York or London?

Obviously New York.I live there.

What do you mean, obviously New York?You told me you're British a minute ago.

I am.And I love London, but I'm in New York, man.

Wow.OK.The last question was, is Hollywood declining?But you seem to think that it's going to be on the ascendance because all they care about is money.

No, no, no.didn't say it was on the ascendance.I said it was on the descendance.The issue is Hollywood is not Hollywood anymore.You look at the democratization of entertainment, or even news, right?Look at what YouTube has done.

And now they're hiring YouTubers for Hollywood.And I think it's just spread, it's flattened out.It's no longer a huge concentration of stars and the industry and all that, because then you have people going to Texas for tax breaks.But also, who the hell goes to a movie theater anymore, right?So it's just, I mean, the last movie theater I went to was, and please don't judge me, it was for Naked Gun 2 1⁄2.In the 80s?

The last one with Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson, dude.

Oh, right.

Come on.

I was like, that was in 1987.And I was so disappointed.

O .J.Simpson, what a film.I mean, we can go there.But, just saying.So no one goes to the theater anymore.

No, I mean, honestly, at this point, you just get into a small dark space and you think, is there a pervert behind me?You know, not into it.And especially now that, like, especially in New York, we've got those seats that go practically all the way back.

Full of reclining, yeah.

You've got like people serving you and you're just like, I don't know.It feels like that Battlestar Galactica episode where they're just ripening you up to like kill you.

Can you give us a British reference point there?

No.Everyone needs to look at Battlestar Galactica.It's the most absurd, ridiculous show.It was only on for about a year and it is so bad.It's great.Take a gummy and watch it.

Do you guys have gummies?here?

We have Haribo.Yep.And lots of other shops also sell sweet gummies.So yeah.Yeah.But Haribo is probably the most popular gummy over here.
