Quote from The Duke of Sussex:
“Environmental damage has been treated as a necessary by-product of economic growth. So deeply ingrained is this thinking that it has been considered part of the natural order that humankind’s development comes at the expense of our planet. Only now are we starting to notice and understand the damage that we’ve been causing. With nearly 7.7 billion people inhabiting this Earth, every choice, every footprint, every action makes a difference.” Beautiful house though

They said they wanted to live a simpler life in the real world, so they buy their apparently forever home, a 16 bathroom mega mansion slap bang in the middle of the super privileged, obscenely rich like Oprah, Katy Perry and Ellen DeGeneres (who was the first A lister to hold baby Archie!)
They have swapped Royalty for Hollywood royalty. In this pampered world, how much more divorced from reality can you get? They really do walk the talk eh? It was said ‘What Meghan wants, Meghan gets’ and she has got her wish to be among the A listers at last - lets hope she doesn’t start hankering after respect anytime soon. |

Oh... never. They say they wanted to get away from the toxicity of the British press and everyone invents extra reasons and pretends they know them, when in actual fact they don't. Last edited by Marsh.; 16-08-2020 at 06:07 PM. |

Beautiful looking home, beautiful setting in gorgeous countryside.
Good choice I say. Did anyone ' seriously ' really expect them to likely live in a flat, single room or even maybe a tent. I don't think so. Last edited by joeysteele; 16-08-2020 at 07:23 PM. |

The mortgage payments made me chuckle as if Charlie hasn’t forked out for that

They said they didn't want to be in the goldfish life constantly of the Royal expectation of life in that set up.
I can't recall them ever saying they weren't going to hold onto other views, or wouldn't be prepared to discuss such views. They weren't leaving the planet, just the stricter controls and ordered life and duties within the Royal active life. There was never any way, they still weren't going to be sought after. By international media particularly. |

You haven't made any kind of point that relates to my post and are now avoiding expanding on it instead of admitting you misunderstood what I posted.

Of course it relates to your point, no they didn’t say they would live like paupers but to quote the Duke himself ..every choice, every action, every footprint makes a difference...he might want to follow his own wise words for a change

How naive. Make whatever point you want about millionaires, it doesn't relate to them leaving the Royal family and the UK which is what my post was about. Last edited by Marsh.; 16-08-2020 at 09:23 PM. |
