Harry & Meghan step back from Royals - seeking financial independence

I don't understand why they need to consult the queen. It's their decision.

Unless they want to cut off completely from the UK taxpayer money and the financial benefits of being part of the royal family then they have to
 
That's Frogmore House, isn't it? The main building, it used to be Queen Victoria's crib.
I'm just going off what Google tells me, but apparently Frogmore House is the even more massive pile to the south-east of that.
 
I've seen Diana take a trillion times more stick, hounded and be truly invaded over a long time and killed through it, she's white. I don't buy this thing Hillary Clinton put out.

Fair enough if they as a couple or she doesn't fancy the attention even if it's pretty tame to what's gone on before. They've hounded the sons while single even.

It's a shame, I was sick to the back teeth seeing Diana across all the front pages for decades. I don't support the way the press report on the Royals and find the interest in them bizarre. When I was younger I disliked the concept of a Royal family but they do bring in people to visit this damp and miserable island and are a net benefit last I looked so I wouldn't want to see an end to the pomp and ceremony. Of course these heavy socialists communist types want it all stopped but I think we'd be worse off and lose some appeal.

Only 5% of their money comes from the Queen and tax payer, the rest of their £2m a year comes from Charles and the Duchy of Cornwall.

Then they have to ask daddy and step ma for permission as well. That's what independent adults like Harry and Megan do

BTW who finance Charles and Camilla allowance? Cause if da and step ma are as independent from mama and dada as his son is then maybe its a good idea for grandson to ask grandma's permission just in case his father end up being sent to bed without dinner because of it

Does that mean they are only looking to replace around £100K of income and daddy will make up the rest?
Which results from the land and property gifted to Charles as a member of the Royal Family. All of their wealth is looted from the people.

They're both over 18, they can do what they like. Working towards being independent must mean some accommodation meanwhile.

Charles gets 100% of his money from the Duchy.
 
She can strip them of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Don't think he can be stripped of his 'Prince' title though.

I am referring the Dutch of Cornwall if let's grandma is not happy with her son giving money to her grandson for doing nothing. This is a genuine question

It's their little country pad, on the Frogmore House estate.

That's not it.
 
Funny how it's taken until now, millions of pounds and lots of exposure later to realise.....
Maybe having a kid has made press intrusion all the more intolerable. The level of outright hatred and abuse that has been either openly written or facilitated in the tabloids has been disgusting.
 
The fact there is more hysteria in UK over this than that Andrew fella being potentially a paedophile or a sexual predator is mental.

What's your point here?

So far as I can see it is all coming from the media.

For the life of me i don't get why people even care but it seems to be some sort of entertainment for the soap watching folk.

They seem to have loved that he used to get in trouble for antics but being 'woke' is a step too far

It is bizarre, but then again if you think of the demographics of most ardent royalists, they are the ones most likely to bemoan not being able to be 'un-pc', ie racist, anymore.
 
The link between the press treatment of Diana and Meghan: both young, and both women. Despite their 'elevated' statuses, the treatment is typical of an older generation's scorn for the younger, and general contempt for women.
 
‘Harry, there’s someone at the door,’ called Megz to her Hubby.

‘Is it important?’ he replied. ‘I’m just trying to get this GoFundMe page sorted.’ A moment of silence followed.

‘it’s your Nan, she’s brought a lasagne for us.’

‘Well buzz her in then, woman. Dagenham is no place for someone her age!’

I suspect the point he is trying to make is that this is not do with racism.

Also people on here forget the way Camilla was treated at the start by the media/public and the hostility towards Camilla was considerably worse than how Meghan has been treated.

That's specious at best though. In reality she gets it with added racial undertones, so in a different way.

There was more of a media frenzy around Diana, and I do remember the opprobrium aimed at Camilla, but that was after Diana had passed into sainthood in the media's eyes. Regardless, not sure how the 'Diana had it worse' line is somehow deemed an excuse for the incessant dog-whistle racism directed at Meghan?
 
Andrew hobnobbing around with a known pedophile is okay, but a young couple striking out on their own is a disappointment.

Glad to see they have their priorities straight.

If you step back and take the longer view, don't you think Harry could be the one who's had enough of this shit? Like you said, they hounded his mother and now they are coming at his wife, he has publicly admitted issues with depression which doesn't seem out of the plausibilities considering what he's been through. May be he just doesn't want the scrutiny of public life anymore and if he wants to strike out on his own, fair play to him.

I agree with you that Harry has long been uncomfortable with the royal life and that Megan will have only enforced feelings in him that were already there. The idea that they can escape from public life is a false though. They still want to take part in Royal duties so will be exposed to public glare but they also have a level of fame that they can never escape. If anything this move will increase scrutiny on them. It looks like they are agitating to be royals on their own terms more than anything.
