Can Meghan Markle be immune to the charms of Richard Armitage?
The Duchess of Sussex has just assumed the patronage of the National Theatre (in succession to Queen Elizabeth II).
So all we have to do to get the play we’ve been pining for is to get Richard Armitage into the path of Her Royal Highness, right?
How do we do it?
I was thinking the very same thing when I heard the news.

I wonder if Her Royal Highness has a favorite play with a juicy role for him?

LOL. But tell me, is there some sort of history between the two? Has Markle said somewhere that she is not averse to the charms of the TDH Brit? Or is this an insider joke I simply don’t get?

No, no evidence. I just know he wants to be in a play in London and now she’s the patron. Just joking.

Aber sie war doch auch Schauspielerin und vielleicht – man weiß ja nie, die Welt ist klein – wenn sie jemanden kennt, der wiederum ihn kennt… James Corden zum Beispiel kennt Harry ganz gut (aus den alten Zeiten in London, in denen die beiden um die Häuser zogen; er war auch auf der privaten Hochzeitfeier) und Corden hat mit RA in Ocean’s 8 gespielt. Also… Schicksal nimm deinen Lauf! aufgeregtgiggel

I’d forgotten about that! Wasn’t he their MC / compere at the reception? So yeah — Corden tells Markle and Markle tells the theatre leadership!

Ja, James Corden spielte wohl eine nicht unbedeutende Rolle bei der Hochzeitsparty. Er sprach in einem Interview andeutungsweise darüber. Sie kennen sich, weil James Harry in seinen wilderen Zeiten beim Feiern getroffen hat.
Leider kann ich mir so gar nicht vorstellen, dass RA selbst die Initiative ergreifen würde, um die Sache ins Rollen zu bringen. Frau müsste ihm womöglich einen Tipp geben. Sozusagen einen Schubs in die richtige Richtung. 😉

Fantastisch, diese Zusammenhänge. Das sind ja dann auch nur 3 degrees of separation… Obwohl, da müsste RA doch eigentlich noch näher drankommen, an die Schauspielkollegin…

Armitage is not necessarily the kind of guy you imagine frequenting lots of wild Prince-Harry-style parties, either.

Na ja ,auch für Prinz Harry sind die wilden Party-Zeiten ja vorbei, jetzt wo er Papa wird, angeblich sogar von Zwillingen. Wahrscheinlich werden weder er noch seine Frau viel Zeit für das Theater haben. seufz

I kind of wonder if you’re the National Theatre, if you really want them to come to all that many plays. So much commotion.

I just saw an article that she’s going to participate in an acting workshop at the National Theatre. Maybe we can get her to take him along? I don’t need her to love him — just get him cast!
