Its going to be about taxes M&H

So in the fullness of time, when Charles is King, the income from the Duchy of Cornwall will be allocated to William, as he will then be Prince of Wales. If Harry and Meghan are not ‘financially independent’ by then, I suppose Charles will be funding them still, so will that be from the Sovereign Grant and Charles’ own cash, as I don’t expect William will pay for them out of his money?

Yes, a lot of people are upset by H and M's decision to leave, whilst still receiving tax payers' money; but, I think lots of people are also upset by the notion that Harry has been led by the nose by what appears to be an ambitious and calculating wife. It may very well be that it was Harry's idea to leave, we don't know; but according to what we read and hear from her acquaintances (and even her family), she does appear to be a dominant character who unfortunately has a ruthless, selfish streak. I hope for Harry's sake, that the stories surrounding her are 'fake news'.

I'm pretty certain they will not be allowed to trade directly on their royal connection.

I'd like to think not, GrannyLaine

Just by being who they are will give them a massive platform

They could be talking about elephants or poverty. It matters not.

It's who they are.

Who said I read the Mail?

But I'd probably be more likely to read that than Zelo Street

We can all find stuff to fit our agenda

I'm pretty certain they will not be allowed to trade directly on their royal connection.

Zelo Street?

Yes, I've seen this before

I hardly think that's going to be gospel either

Don't get me wrong, I'm a republican and think the whole royal family are a bunch of leeches.

But what does annoy me is the slavish belief in whatever those red tops print. FFS

Or perhaps your preferred source is the Daily Heil?

Honestly - I'm staggered at the level of unkindness and misinformation in the comments about this couple. I can only repeat, I wish them well. No wonder they want out.

Nobody knows what is misinformation and what isn't

And they don't want out at all

They want to be able to use the RF links to make a fortune with interviews/books/articles.

All off the backs of the RF

Which, in my opinion, isn't on

Frogmore House was in the process of renovation before H&M AND was paid for by the Queen.

You keep repeating this but I am yet to see any real evidence.

The renovations apparently took 6 months and were done when H&M moved in

Now I don't have a problem with this particularly. The house needs to be preserved

But the evidence all points to the bespoke decor etc etc being done for H&M

Thanks GagaJo for the link you put on the other thread and fo your contributions to this one.

I thought the same thing calendargirl I read a comment the Obamas, Bill Gates et al have all worked to get where they are Harry & Meghan were born or married into it. ^
It seems they are cashing in on their family connections.

OK, we pay the Queen out of our taxes. BUT it wasn't directly funded by the tax payer. Urban myth.

I don’t really care if they leave or not but before they do can they please pay back the millions we paid to do up Frogmore House which they will now not live in. (I don’t think they will hardly ever come back if Meghan has anything to say about it!)

If they have planned this for a long time why couldn’t they have stayed in Kensington Palace until they left and saved us all the money. I have a lot of time for the Royals who work hard but not much for either of them at the moment

Is that because of all this kerfuffle Lullydully or other issues?

Judging by comments from my friend in USA they may not be too popular their either.

According to today’s Telegraph, they will set up charitable foundation similar to the Obamas, the Clooneys, the Clintons and the Gates, presumably advised by them all also. Lots of connections, Oprah, James Corden, Jessica Mulroney, Meghan’s BFF and DIL of a former Canadian PM.
Makes you wonder if all this was thought about when the wedding guest list was sent out.
The D and D of Sussex may prove very popular in Canada and USA if all this comes to pass, but I think their appeal in this country will swiftly wane.

I am reminded of Hilaire Bellocs Cautionary Tale about Lord Lundy, who kept bursting into tears,

^Lord Lundy from his earliest years
Was far too freely moved to Tears^
...........................
^It happened to Lord Lundy then,
As happens to so many men:
Towards the age of twenty-six,
They shoved him into politics;
In which profession he commanded
The Income that his rank demanded
In turn as Secretary for
India, the Colonies, and War.
But very soon his friends began
To doubt is he were quite the man:
Thus if a member rose to say
(As members do from day to day),
Arising out of that reply . . .!"
Lord Lundy would begin to cry.
A Hint at harmless little jobs
Would shake him with convulsive sobs.^
.................................
^The Duke -- his aged grand-sire -- bore
The shame till he could bear no more.
He rallied his declining powers,
Summoned the youth to Brackley Towers,
And bitterly addressed him thus--
"Sir! you have disappointed us!
We had intended you to be
The next Prime Minister but three:
The stocks were sold; the Press was squared:
The Middle Class was quite prepared.
But as it is! . . . My language fails!
Go out and govern New South Wales!^

^The Aged Patriot groaned and died:
And gracious! how Lord Lundy cried!^

except that PH has jumped before he was pushed and has chosen Canada

Is that copper bath going spare?
If so, can I have it?
They won’t need it now, will they.......

Oops correction ... I should have typed Governor General of Canada

Perhaps Harry will become the next Govenor of Canada.

Does it all really matter? There are 5 people in line for the throne before Harry.

Give the pair a break. IF they are in it for the notoriety, all this constant debate is playing RIGHT into their hands.

The Heir and the Spare
And the Spare is superfluous to requirements now.

And he's got a strong-minded wife (probably what he needs), someone who loves him (we hope) and a gorgeous baby.
As well as a way out of the pre-planned journey through life that he was dreading.

There are more things in heaven and Earth, Horatio ,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy
