Zara has umpteen very lucrative sponsorships already .
While all around us young people struggle just to get work and can’t afford to have a place to live .
It’s morally offensive.
The personal fortunes of such individuals may be higher than £20m.
They just don't end up in the paper very often. The only reason royals are in this article is because it will generate more clicks than writing about someone unknown who is stinking rich and is paid far more for the same.

Re: Zaras money for old rope
Not soThere is always controversy about sponsorships espcecailly in the sporting world .
And they are often in the news .
People who are unknown don’t get paid big bucks for influence if they are not known they won’t have any.
The royals by the way are “stinking rich “ or does their wealth not smell ?
However there is one big difference .
Most of these people have attained their status by their own efforts .
Not by being related to the queen .

Re: Zaras money for old rope
Moreover most sponsorship deals involve a product .Ie Coca Cola ,Adidas or some such .
These payments are basically for influence .
And it’s easy to get into trouble with these people .
(Dr Hon has some connections -probably quite legal -with North Korea .)
As Prince Andrew is now finding out to his cost re his association with Epstein and other dubious characters.

Most people of self-secured status attain it on the back of others' hard work. There's no wealth that smells of roses. It always has the reek of someone's BO. Just that most such stories are not considered newsworthy.

Re: Zaras money for old rope
Annie don’t be silly .It’s no use getting sponsorship from someone unknown .
Sponsors WANT media exposure .
Hence the popularity of sporting sponsorships .
Eg David Beckham
Who holds many sponsorships because he IS in the public eye .
And
Like many sporting personalities they did off their own backs .
Not off the backs of others
Or because they have a royal relative .

I'm not sure I understand how Andrew's friendship with Epstein figures? Are you saying he was paid to be part of Epstein's "business"? If so you know more than the press!

However it does show the quality of Prince Andrews aquaintances .
Prince Andrews bussiness deals are notoriously shady .
He sold that monstrosity of a house he owned ( gifted him to by his mother ) for a vastly inflated price to some Kazakhstan obligarh.
It was in a state of decay and has since been demolished .
The whole thing involved dubious characters and deals .
No one pays £3million OVER the asking price for nothing .
