Tim and Giannis argue over whether Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's split from the royal family was a plotted PR move, joking about their Netflix deal and the royal family's history.
- Harry marrying outside the royal gene pool was a no-no; he should have been excommunicated.
- Royal babies get thrown out if they're born deformed, but Meghan Markle came in from Hollywood anyway.
- The whole thing is clearly a plotted scheme—she knew the royal family was racist.
- Tim notes they moved to LA, got a Netflix deal, and picked the country with no racism to escape to.
- Everything now is just being famous to whatever degree you can and appearing to be good.
- They went counter-culture on the royal family and kicked it up a level.
- The only thing anyone cares about is whether the story is good, and this is a great story.
- Meghan Markle wants to move the needle and be a mover and shaker in a way she couldn't living in rainy Britain.
- Tim asks whose grandmother isn't racist and challenges the uniqueness of their narrative.
- Despite the setup, getting a Netflix deal is smart and good for her.
