Re: What A Loss (?)

Even Royals have only one life to live. Who can blame them for wanting to live it in peace.

Why are so many portraying him as some poor sap who isn't capable of making his own decisions.
The whole royalty thing is an anachronism, who can blame them for wanting a more normal life for themselves and their child.
As l said Xandra, nothing wrong with what they say they wan, but
why was it necassary to keep it as a last minute surprise?
Why not as l also said couldnt they call a board meetiny between
the other directors and the MD and then issue a joint statement??
What is the problem with that? Its the grown up way and normal
business practice!
As an aside, lnthink if they do leave the country they should be
subject to the same financial laws as us regarding any money they
wish to take out of the country, and should not retain any ties
whatever involving disbursements from the royal purse to themselves!
Even the so called charity they have just dreamed up is suspect?
Independence means just that, not keeping a lifeline open for future
needs!
They have ample funds by the sound of it to start their new life
with INDEPENDANCE?

They were saying today that Harry has over £40 million, and Meghan has her own money as well.
It was said they are a wealthy couple.

So in the case of Ginge and the rest of them follow the money back and see how much they "inherited" and failed to pay tax on and ripped off the general public by way of their "Inherited Lands". As for that awful Markle thing just what did she do other than be a variation of the Kardashians?

Re: What A Loss (?)

I have read all this with interest. I can honestly say now that I can see both sides of the issue. I had no idea how unilateral - or duo lateral? - their decision was. That does smack of unbridled entitlement. Even for Royals. As two adults I think they have a right to do what they want within the law but when it comes to paying for it - yes a very contentious issue. If they want to do their own thing they have to pay. Maybe even pay back something to the consolidated UK coffers?..That's fair. And security?..that's out of their own pocket too. THe rest is your problem to sort out. But on the other side why is Meaghan Markle a "horrible thing"?...Do you know her personally?..maybe you do. I don't know. Unless you're Hitler or Pol Pot or some other monster do personal insults at that level serve any purpose other than to demean the one that issues them?

I agree that they should pay their way now but don't see why they would pay back anything. You shouldn't have to buy your freedom whoever you are.
