Yes all the servants and help the same ones Meghan got but she couldn’t cope so she ran off to America.

They get to do their job whilst not worrying about getting stuff in for dinner and getting home early enough to prepare it, picking the kids up and sorting them out, cleaning the house or sorting the bills out etc.

So exhausting, maybe. Comparable to normal working parents? Absolutely not.

You're kidding right? I can have 3 or 4 client visits a day when I'm working, I have to know what that client does, what their history is, what their staff retentions are etc etc.....many millions of working parents are the same. I drive myself to each appointment...catching up with other calls in between whilst trying to arrange after school care, activities, what to have to eat, fit in shopping, cleaning,making packed lunches etc. Its called being a working parent

And your point is what? Nothing to do with this conversation

It must be exhausting collecting money by just existing, those royals, they’re the real working class heroes

Yeah, like Wills and Kate without the servants and nannies, very hard graft.
When I'm not on furlough, I can be working a 10 hour day and my better half is a hospital theatre sister, so she works all hours and I do the cleaning and shopping and cooking a lot most of the time. It was worse when the kids were younger, we've only one at home now. The lazy one.
Still, I meant Kate and Wills have to turn up immaculate and be 'on' in a way most don't, because their every move is being scrutinized and could be reported on very publicly - I think that would be extra draining.

Anyway, its not a competition. I've seen posts here that say the Royals do nothing, so I posted that example to show that, actually, they do. It's good to learn something new, right?

[Marsh.]

Nobody said they do nothing, you derailed a different discussion Sheriff raised concerning billionaire Oprah.

The only thing said was that the Royals don't "earn" their fortune because they don't have to, they quite literally inherit it.

But you know that.

It is funny how you acknowledge the pressures of a public life when it comes to people you don't irrationally hate though.

...it wasn’t posted because other posts said that the Royals do nothing, it was posted as a response and directly quoting another post, which was my own post ...and that post had no reference/inference or etc of the Royals doing nothing...and neither did any other post in the discussion...it’s good to show honesty, , right...?...

My point is Meghan had the same help but still couldn’t do the job that you tryed to belittle kates work saying she had servants and helpers

[Cherie]

There have been posts saying the royals do nothing. I brought it in while answering a post from you as I felt it fitted at the time with what I was saying, there is no rule to say I have to search back for posts to answer directly about the royals doing nothing, is there?
Now you are saying I'm dishonest. Is there no end to your selective judgements?

Googling....
Apparently he delivered his request by hand, giving a letter to a security guard outside her house. She only lives a mile or so from H&M.

Lol...I read that earlier. That puts Oprah on the spot....money or ‘friendship’..
I think Meghan might be worth more money to her in the future...so my betting is she will stick with the money AND ‘friendship’...

Wrong....I did not try to belittle Kate...but if you have to make out I did to shoehorn an insult in for Meghan and Harry then carry on.
