She has dragged down the Royal family and is now taking away a decent bloke to be her lap dog. Let them go and never come back. I would love to know what Prince Phillip thinks of her ! I know what the Queen Mum would have done with her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they will not expect the State to provide everything for them and they can love fairly 'normal' existence, left alone I hope by a poisonous and lying media. I wish them well. They actually expect the British state and taxpayer to continue providing quite a lot.I'm not much interested one way or the other but they appear to want their cake in addition to eating it.Also inexplicable and shockingly bad mannered not to have consulted Queen in advance before making the announcement. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst not perhaps entirely true, the reptiles will never let that alone! It's <deleted> like this kind of speculative post that they are desperate to get away from, that and a poisonous media and intrusive social media. I fail to see what it had got to do with anyone but their immediate family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sawadee1947 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Good idea to step back. Then they have 365 days to spend tax payer's money without any work. I got a Labrador at home. I give him water and food just to accompany me. He has to depend on me. Without me he wouldn't survive. How comes this to my mind?

The problem is that they apparently want it all (money, status, property) except the obligation to fulfil a proper work schedule.I have every sympathy with their wish to disappear from the limelight.Some are not fitted out for the endless exposure and it's hard not to feel for Harry given his childhood traumas.They have enough money to have a wonderful private life.But you can't half do it any more than you can be a little bit pregnant. Their announcement was ill thought out and petulant and I imagine deeply hurtful to HM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Weird Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 8 hours ago, JonnyF said: So Harry lives a life of luxury for 35 years at taxpayers expense and then when it's time to give something back he "steps back" from his duties. No doubt he'll be flying between the UK and North America to lecture the people that pay for the flights about reducing their carbon emissions. I have no problem if he wants to "step back" from his duties, as long as he returns the assets that taxpayers have given him and he receives no more public money. Fair's fair. He's going to have a big shock when he realizes what's involved in being financially independent. I guess he could go on the talk show circuit for a few quid and Markle could go back to starring in B movies. He does not live at the taxpayers expense, neither have the taxpayers given him any assets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonsense on both.. It was done because they wanted it and to many of thier specs and desires.. and the Sovereign grant is primarily funded by the exchequer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The basic renovation was funded by the Sovereign Grant, specifics such as furniture, curtains, units, yetc, were paid for privately by the couple.

I imagine if comes to it she is no longer royal, the Clooneys won't be sucking up to her anymore - no more corporate jet borrow.

kingdong Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 9 hours ago, CharlieH said: This was on the cards awhile back, when Markle clashed repeatedly with Kate leading to a problem between the brothers. It was said then that Harry would be sent off to either South Africa or Australia as the tension/problem had to be diffused and Markle was getting to much press attention in the UK. Both princess do and Fergus thought they could join the royal family and reform it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to the time when the likes of Murdoch and Maxwell bought national newspapers,all the comings and goings of the royal family went unreported because the likes of your Lord rothermeres and Lord beaverbrooks were all members of the same little club.

IMO the best thing for the royal family is to see the back of those two, IMO, waste of space royals. Sooner gone for good the better. I could go on about what a huge mistake he made marrying her, but I doubt anyone hasn't already decided an opinion about her. She's got him by the short hairs and he appears to like it. IMHO things are not going to end well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
