If they're going to bugger off to Canada do we get the £2m+ back that was spent tarting up Frogmore "Cottage"?

Nope, thought not.

Not particularly Den, you've got to admire the Queen's 'stickability'. However they shouldn't get a blank cheque and earn their keep. They also shouldn't dominate the headlines with their boring private lives when there'e a lot more important things going on.

Blame that on the tabloid press who have learned nothing from the tragedy of Princess Diana.

You could also blame the people that continue to buy this crap.

Where does it say they're going to retire into obscurity?

It is unfair on the British taxpayer if they aren't going to earn their keep promoting Britain.

However it will be interesting to see if they can earn their own income and how they will do so.

Who said they were?

They said
Quote:
We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages.

No of course not, they want to have cake and eat it but it doesn't work like that, you're either in the family or your not, you don't get to have the privileges without giving anything back. I notice he wants to keep what's laughably called a cottage but might be prepared tp cough up a bit of rent!

How can that be? Their security needs arise from birth and from constitutional and political matters that are entirely beyond their control. That being the case, making their security contingent on their continued cooperation with those matters would have a whiff of blackmail about it.

Other royals have managed it, with varying degrees of success. I suspect their allure in America will be such that they won’t have too many problems.

Precisely. They (or rather she) are still going to actively seek publicity, which means the media will inevitably still be involved. She is still going to play off his name and titles. Just all goes to further demonstrate she's just a self-centred, attention seeking, nasty piece of woke.

Being reported that Madame Tussauds has removed waxworks of Harry and Meghan from royal family display.

Ouch. :erm:

Your interpretation says more about you than it does about them...

So when hasn't she been attention seeking and all too ready to trash anybody that gets in her way? Even now, her sole motivation is to use his name and money to attract attention and be seen as super-woke. So much for being independent and not wanting press attention.:rolleyes:
