Right, so you don't know the difference between a post stating researched facts and a post giving an opinion.
Not my problem.

The Obamas just chill and do charity work, the beckhams do pretty much nothing these days, and Elton John tours his music, so assuming you're correct, what exactly are they aspiring to be/do?

If they already have Ł400m as has been mentioned, then they're richer than all of them already.

Of course you are. Just as I'm entitled to think you are ill - informed and spend your time defending a mega rich, self entitled diva, who can't keep key staff (4 resigned in a year) and is on her 3rd nanny, but knock yourself out.

Hiding insults behind hyphens still makes them insults.

Megs is worth Ł4 million and they don't have Ł400m, which tabloid did you read that in?
They need contacts and proper introductions in the States to further their commerical ambitions.

Yeah, the royal family needs introductions in America in order for them to reach their unknown/unlabelled/untitled ambitions. I saw that figure mentioned; I have no idea what they are worth, and nor do I care.

They have a private fortune of 34m, they won't be needing the States to fund them.

Financial Times
https://www.ft.com/content/09096336-...3-eea0cae3f0de


Drawing inspiration from the Obamas, the Clintons and the commercial savvy of Gwyneth Paltrow, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle this week embarked on a fraught attempt to transform their philanthropic royal brand into a lucrative private business.....

......To find their way the Sussexes are instead looking further afield to the ranks of ex-presidents, prime ministers and Hollywood stars who have turned personal brands — and championing good causes — into formidable income streams.....

......The post-presidency success of Barack and Michelle Obama is one obvious model. Their political afterlife has included a $65m joint book deal with Penguin Random House, and an agreement with Netflix to produce films, worth tens of millions of dollars. Like Bill Clinton and Tony Blair, Mr Obama and his wife are able to charge hundreds of thousands of dollars for speaking appearances.

While on a smaller scale, the pulling power of the Sussexes is likely to be prized by publishers, the television industry and speaking agents. The Duke’s recent deal to make a film series on mental health with Oprah Winfrey and Apple TV is a possible template for other projects.

More controversial will be any moves to extend the Sussex brand to a lifestyle portal that offers a gateway to promoted products or corporate sponsors. One former courtier likened the idea to “a posh, royal version of Goop”, the lifestyle website of the actress Gwyneth Paltrow.

......The groundwork for commercial enterprise has already been laid to some extent. With the announcement of their separate foundation in June, the couple filed trademark applications on “Sussex Royal”. It covered everything from branding “pyjamas, suits, and hooded tops” to “advisory and consultancy services” and “health and wellness training”.

Charles and Camila and William and Kate have both secured their own brands to make money from who they are, why are Harry and Megs the only ones being called out on it? The pure bias against this couple is astounding and disgusting

Charles and Camila's 'own brand' is the inherited Duchy of Cornwall, which pays for the Royal's working income, eg, Harry is paid nearly 3 million a year - which the Sussex's want to keep, even though they are leaving...
William and Kate's 'brand' raises millions for their charitable causes only. If you know they are making money for themselves with commerical ventures, give details please....

The problem is that the Sussexes seem to expect to make a fortune trading off their Royal status, which Royals have never been allowed to do.
Look what happened when Fergie tried it, she was blasted, and she wasn't even a royal anymore, only a divorced one.

Well you've just answered your own question, Fergie is not a Royal... Harry and Meghan are.

The problem is you thinking you can read their minds.
