Harry and Meghan - OP updated with Threadbanned Users 4/5/21

Nope. According to the BBC website in a statement from the Canadians, the Canadian Mounted Police had been giving ''intermittant assistance'' to the Metropolitan Police when they were staying in Canada. What they did say was that they were not going to provide their full security in Canada. Charlie had yet to pull their security (which they found out from the Met Officers that they were going the next day).

Would you mind providing a link to a reliable source saying that they had been given £2m by Charles?

Look up the Duchy accounts. 4 million between William and Harry infers a 50/50 split since he was getting circa 2 million a year as it was.

No. The Met risk asses all members and decide who and what level of security is required.

Why are you blaming Charles for the last minute pull of security, nothing to do with him.

And most of that money in the joint account was spent on William's helicopter and private plane fetish. Note that Kensington Palace account is spending even more since then on Kate & William (who insists on using his helicopter to get him to work and had been warned by the Queen that he was using it too much).

As for what you claim is a poor work ethic. Wasn't the complaint of Meghan was that her work ethic was a bit too strong (those 5am emails). Harry has had a 10 year career in the British Army and set up two very successful charities from scratch. Hardly workshy, now is he. Since he left the RF, he has moved continents, had another child, done a couple of documentaries and wrote a best selling book and is presently taking on the British tabloids. Hardly workshy!

Ffs would you stop with this. Prince Harry is and was a millionaire. Literally no one buys your story that a member of the royal family was living in poverty. He wasnt living in a "wreck of a cottage" either. He was living in a 1,300 sq ft (larger than your average Irish semi d for sure) storied historical building, designed by the famous Christopher wren, in a prime central London location, for free. There are many people who would bite your arm off for such an opportunity, but as usual, it wasn't good enough for Harry and Meghan, (although Harry seemed to be happy living there before Meghan came along strangely enough)

Here is a photo of the "wreck". Looks like a well looked after old cottage to me. What you're saying just has no basis in reality.

An ever present team of driven people assigned and available to you give guidance and advice, having staff fill out forms and do the logistical donkey work, having to sit and talk to a film director about yourself then doing zoom calls with the guy writing your book. Leaving the UK with a young family and going to Canada with no concrete plans for accommodation or security or career or income but still, like you do, getting digs with a billionaire until you feel you’re ready to buy your mansion. Hard going in fairness.

I guess, in lieu of saying you wanted a fresh start/explore new opportunities, it makes a good narrative (i.e. a victim one that can be sold). A freedom flight from a rabid British press who were egging on blood thirsty right wing loons, from a family (who are also racist) who deliberately pulled their security giving them no notice and putting their lives at risk only for them to find freedom thanks to the kindness of billionaires until he, with a thematic arc of confronting his unconscious bias, could muster his courage and return to fight the good fight and save his family from themselves. It’s up there with the “car chase” in Manhattan for me i.e. deliberately exaggerated bullsh*t. It is lucrative, it dupes people but is bullsh*t.

Er, maybe everything Harry "wrote" in his Buke isn't entirely correct

A grown man having to buy his own clothes in TK Maxx (although that might not be true), oh the humanity!

Its edgy when done in a thread that has nothing to do with him and is used solely as a shield to hide Harry behind.

Especially edgy when those criticising Andrew are simultaneously whining about "cancelling" Rubiales for his own unwanted advances at a woman.

Some sexual assault is fine others not, and you expect to be taken seriously?

He should have called if...

What I dream the real world is like, by the Pince formly known as The Spare...

Or is it, the Spare formly know as the prince?

Or the the ejit formly known as the spare Prince !

Comment piece in today’s Telegraph.

It sounds like this is going to be his mantra for the rest of his life- it gains the sympathy in the short term but I’m going to be cynical here-

he’s done the “spill the beans” book about his family and played the “victim” - got tons of money for that

he’s done the “spill the beans” TV series on his family- again played the “victim” - got tons of money for that

Now that’ there’s no beans left to spill or at least that hes willing to spill right now, he’s back to his moan-fests, and again part blaming his family and playing, yes you guessed it, the “victim”

Its the only role he knows how to play and he’s doing it again and again - all for money, either directly through books etc or indirectly through his “brand”- either way, he’s making money .

I rate him much higher than Meaghan in terms of his achievements in life to date but this still stinks of an orchestrated brand advancement exercise - it’s a pity he wouldn’t even switch towards “achieving a positive life post trauma” type lectures rather than staying with the misery

I think that possibly they will but at a distance. I think he will end up living in Africa or possibly the Caribbean like his great grand uncle. He will be tolerated but won't be in close contact with them. Person non grata.

More likely to complain about having to pay for a private jet. 🙄
