£1.5m Carrots

It seems Ginge 'n' Megan are in the closing stages of "buying" a delightful little mansion called Frogmore Cottage. They like the look of this modest 12-bedroom property because they are taking up gardening and the peat and compost is far superior on the Windsor estate.

So this lovely couple with a fair bit of cash (from somewhere) are throwing it into their new abode and a further £1.5 million will be funded by the taxpayer.

They won't get their hands dirty of course as they are having a team of gardeners on hand at all times to supervise in case either of them ends up with muddy boots.

Expensive carrots indeed when neighbours of mine who have allotments have to contend with migrants sleeping in their sheds and eating their potatoes.

Re: £1.5m Carrots

Oh come on, give them a break, would you? They aren't buying the Taj Mahal or real estate with a castle, and 1.5 million pounds doesn't buy what it used to.
Personally, I think it's a smart move they aren't living at the Palace or Windsor Castle with the other royals. Could it be they are trying to break with tradition and start a family as they mean to go? Separate homes may take the pressure off and let them relax a bit.

Seems they can't make any decision without criticism from both sides.

I have no objection to them moving out of Kensington Palace to live wherever they choose, what I and others do object to though is their profligate life-style at OUR expense !!! Let the buggers earn their own money !!!
