‘Spare’ by Prince Harry

Thank you both of you. I don’t have time to read through, only glance, at the moment but I will later.

Oh my.What a useful site!

Not just about Royals.

Come come Grany and volver you don’t think Royalists want any actual scientific evidence to tarnish a rose coloured view of the RF do you?

No. No I don't. I like it though 😉

Funny isn't it we are entirely outside the organisation known as The Firm but we can find evidence that the shiny, happy, dedicated, charitable front they project for the public isn't entirely true. Makes you wonder what you would uncover if you were actually at the heart of things like Harry.

'They f**k you up your Mum and Dad
They may not mean to
But they do
They fill you with the faults they had
The add some extra just for you'..

I always enjoyed this.

Harry is a grown man now, in his 40s.
Time to act like one.
Not likely though.

Yesterday a part of one of Meghan’s podcast was printed in some newspapers.
She described their morning routine.
I wonder if she realised how it sounded to millions of families when she told of how they do it together and then she cooks breakfast for them.
Millions of people are racing round, dad probably already gone to work, mum shouting at the children to get out of bed and get down here while she is rushing round getting them ready for school and herself ready for a full days work.
Nice work if you can do it and then get paid for talking about it with some other over privileged woman.

More like the mafia aren't they, more secret than the secret services, what do they want to hide, exempt from freedom of information act, unaccountable public body. Well they do have legislation they can vet to profit from over a thousand times. They can be exempted from laws that they don't like. Transparency laws anti racism

The Monarchy still profit from proceeds of colonialism passed down from monarch to monarch to this day.

All the RF are irrelevant A waste of space and money

And the rest of royal family?

Are we really reduced to criticising a woman for telling us she has breakfast with her kids? Is that what we've come to?

I was just hoping she realised that everyone is not as privileged as she and her family are and this of course applies to all the RF.
But I don’t think they mostly go on to talk about it on a publis site.
And yes I think they are an irrelevance in todays society.
I am an older very moderate woman and I have surprised many of my friends with my outspoken views.

It all sounds pretty normal to me.Not sure why the press/podcast producers think it’s interesting though. Similar routines go on all over the world every morning.

I think that’s what annsixty is saying, it’s so absolutely normal and routine that why does anyone get paid for saying it. My response to ann is that’s it’s because so man6 people are, for reasons I don’t understand, interested in what the royals do at home. I just don’t understand it at all. Who cares what little George, Charlotte, Archie, or Lily have for breakfast?

Ooops, didn’t proof read. Always a mistake, I meant many.

Here in the States some of us really like him and Megan. I would be curious to read what he has to say.

Some of us in the UK do too KeepitLight68 but it’s not encouraged on Gransnet

So wrong, no one can possibly disagree. But some will find a way...

Harry is a grown man, now in his 40’s

Must defend him on this, he was born in 1984, so is only 38.

Still a grown man though, even if he doesn’t always act like one.

William Gets £22 million from Duchy of Cornwall more money than all the Heads of State in Europe combined and Charles £22 million, (£100 million Sovereign Grant) Ministers have said that tax should be paid on Duchy, yet no capital gains tax, or corporation tax is paid, even though it's run like a business.

Monarchy finance should be looked into and as a public body getting public funds they should reseive a set amount based on a calculation of what they need to do the job as other public bodies do, not just throw money at them.

Apologies it's Meghan who is in her 40's isn't it?

Grany. The Civil List is the money paid to the Royal family to cover their royal duties, the rest is their private fortune. Yes, I agree they should pay tax as the rest of us do.

their private fortune
which their ancestors earned Monica?

MOnica Its called the Sovereign Grant that's paid.

The income of the Duchy is there as part of a state funding arrangement, not as a personal income derived from personal property.

Over £22 millions each Charles and William is an awful lot of money given them.

nadaturbe has there ever been any really rich person, since time becagn who got every penny they possessed by honest means?

The money came the way other rich people got their money and at the time it was gained it was done by means that were accepted or taken for granted by most people. I judge past times by their standards, not those of today.

Remember 100 years from now society then could turn and judge us by the standards they have then and we could all be mired in dirt for they way we now behave - and I am not talking about global warning I am talking about everytday things that we see as admirable - giving to charity for example.

I doubt many could have given a large chunk of the country to their son.

Strange attempt to justify dishonesty.
