Yes, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie for example don't receive any public money and have their own jobs. The taxpayer doesn't pay for their security either.

Kate, the actual proper princess

See Kates yearly engagements above.
Tell me, what do Meghan and Harry do to live in a massive LA mansion with 16 bathrooms? What did they do to get a megabuck Netflix deal?
Not a thing - they left the daily slog of the royals to 'make their own way' then used their royal status to get a job which they have no experience in and which others will mainly do for them. Netflix bought their 'name', not their 'work'.

Great post.

[thesheriff443]

It’s why people copy write there names and businesses to stop people using there name to make money.

That’s why the queen made them drop royal from their bollox

Kate had 6 engagements in January... daily slog?

Uncaring of what the boss or anyone might think, she states that she is going to modernize the firm she has just joined.

She then goes on to ignore the rules of the particular workplace. She makes those in lower positions than herself cry with her demands and attitude.They then leave because they can’t work with her.



She is jealous of your higher position, gained by many many years of hard work, loyalty and scrutiny; she feels she should be on a par with you.

She gets fed up with people bad mouthing her moves, so decides the job isn’t for her after all.

So she writes out her resignation, stating that she expects the firm to still pay part of her salary, retain her company car and all the other perks even though she won’t be working for it anymore.

Off she goes, taking the hapless bosses son with her.

That person sounds just like Meghan.

Imagine that someone would describe marrying into a family in terms of "being a new low-ranker in a place of work" and new in laws as "boss executives".

At least I'm starting to understand your mindset when it comes to the Megan stuff. Pieces starting to fit together.

He is still a prince however.. he is royal. It's not like he's some nobody who decided to stick HRH on stuff. Oh well doesn't look like it phased them much.

And why do you think he got the Netflix deal?

It’s on the back of his name, nobody would give him a deal like that if was not for his name and Meghan would not be getting a deals if she had not married him.

They don’t care about poor minority’s they have jumped on the bandwagon using other people’s suffering to feather their own nest.

[thesheriff443]

Why do large firms and corporations pay millions to celebrities and sports stars to plug their goods or services?

Because they sell more using these people.

When you marry into the royal family you are not marrying into a normal family.

There where clear expectations of what it involved.

And yes it is about pecking order and Meghan was not going to be top dog.

The queen is the boss and everyone one else has a role to play.

Oh yes... I know.

Let's focus on another 'breakaway'

Nice to see the brothers united in this whatever else they appear divided on.

Right, and Harry himself has made it very clear that he (as an individual) does not like and does not want that sort of family life, and so has taken steps to move away from the Royal Tribe. I think it's quite insulting to his intelligence to suggest that he didn't know he had chosen to marry a partner who didn't "fit the mould" and there's plenty of pre-Megan evidence that he's always been a square peg in a round hole in the Royal family.

So what you're describing isn't a "job environment" at all, because if you don't like your job and the corporate structure, you're free to leave that job and find another path without being vilified for it. Apparently, the Royal Family is a job that you have to accept, politely, and never dare try to quit?

And people are suggesting this is a good thing?

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle pull the plug on glittering Invictus Games
fundraiser for wounded soldiers due to be shown on Amazon after signing
Ł112million deal with rivals Netflix

• The music and comedy show was set to be held in California next summer
• Organisers hoped event would raise Ł1 million for Invictus Games Foundation
• Officials were reportedly 'stunned' after being informed of the cancellation

Probably because its the Daily Mail and their commenters have significantly impaired reading comprehension;

"According to an Invictus spokesperson, the event was 'shelved' due to the Covid-19 pandemic and was a decision independent of the Netflix deal being signed.

The event was shelved because the primary revenue generator was ticket sales from a live concert in Los Angeles in the spring of 2021.

'Given current circumstances with Covid, the event needed to be reconceptualised.

'This was an independent decision made prior to a partnership with Netflix. The duke remains committed as ever to the Invictus Games.'

The 2020 Invictus Games which was due to be held in April were called off because of the coronavirus pandemic."


Perhaps you also skipped half the article and went straight to the toxic chav comments, LT?

The People's Prince and Princess

[LeatherTrumpet]

Officials at the foundation were reportedly ‘stunned’ after a lawyer for the Sussexes informed them they would not be going ahead with the event last week, shortly before the Netflix deal was announced.

According to a report in the Sunday Times, the lawyer cited a ‘conflict’ of plans with another streaming service.

A source involved in the planning of the event told the publication: ‘It’s very bad form and everyone at Invictus is gutted.

Yes, the Invictus games event was to be shown on Amazon - hence the conflict of interest. Harry created the Invictus games and always said it was his most important project. I guess making big money is more important now.

They should use that money to pay off the loan they got off the public to do up goose step cottage or whatever its called in one go, rather than the poultry yearly amount they promised...I mean I know the public purse dont need the money during this pandemic or anything but fairs fair.
