ri Alban Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 6 hours ago, John Gentleman said: I'm now reading reports that Frogmore Cottage is being shuttered-up and staff redoployed/let go. This, after a renovation cost of £2.4 million paid out from the Sovereign Grant. How many of us plebs would be in a position to effectively write-off £2.4m of other peoples' money? Maybe it should be repurposed as a safe haven for traumatised people? Not going to happen though, is it? The Royals, if nothing else, are consistently generous to their own. I don't have a problem with that, providing the largesse is splashed from their 'own' private wealth, eg, the Duchy of Cornwall. Maybe it's this sort of thing that has Harry and Meghan wanting to leave. They have plenty of their own money, they can look after themselves, so I don't see the problem. Maybe it's time the people took back what's theirs. Starting with their dignity. Subjects! Fecking embarrassing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionDJambo Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) Just read the front pages of the English newspapers. Before yesterday, all the talk was of them being hypocrites by wanting to use the hrh titles ongoing and living, albeit part time, in a house renovated by tax payers cash. They better not take any public money etc.. Now they’re going to pay back the £2.5m for the house renovation, not use hrh in their names, and make their own money, they’re still getting it tight. The UK has gone to the dogs. Since Brexit, the xenophobia levels have gone to extremes, probably, not seen since this “great” island sailed around the world stealing and murdering in countries we had no right to invade. Anyone who still thinks that this treatment by the English media, of this couple, is still not motivated by Meghan Markle being American and of mixed race, has to ask why else they have been singled out for this coverage.

Not sure that was entirely their own decision tbh. They had already said last week that they didn't want any public money, HRH titles and paying back the £2.4m wasn't mentioned in their statement to the media. Harry & Meghan have now lost all of their Royal patronages and Harry has lost all of his honouary military titles, so it said on the news this morning. I think Harry might struggle to find his place in society, Meghan she can easily go back to acting if she wanted, but Harry, has only ever seemed happy when he was in the military or doing animal/charity work in Africa, everything else seemed like a chore which he just had to do as part of his royal duties.

They’re playing to their gallery. Got them all whipped up in a frenzy of defence of the Queen. The Queen has, instead of holding her head in horror, just got on and dealt with it. She has had a proper discussion and assessment of the situation and a solution has been agreed, to try to silence the very people who say they are outraged for her.

ArcticJambo Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 For Royalists it's probably a case of a young, uppity couple high on changing attitudes towards society giving dear 94 yr old Queenie a hard time when she least needs it! Surely a media-savvy young Millennial couple knew what they were getting into with their royal marriage and all, but nahh, can't hack more than a few yrs then decide to walk away coz they don't like some neggies chucked their way. They were always going to get pelters for being, well probably just being themselves. Without paying more than a passing glance at the story, I'd say the fallout is quite predictable really. I don't blame them but to a certain extent I think they've brought it upon themselves. Sure they'll be fine in time. Queen/House of Windsor was right however, to cut them off entirely from all formal duties. Harry can hang with Beiber and Drake at Raptors games.

So not short of a bob or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they earn money here they will pay tax in the UK, if they want security they pay for that themselves, if they want staff at Frogmore Cottage they pay for their own staff and not use the staff on the Royal books, which I believe is happening because their Frogmore staff are being re-deployed to other royal duties. Harry & Meghan want to be just plain Mr & Mrs Wales, and who can blame them and good luck to them both, however I hope they realise that they'll have to pay their way just like the rest of us have to, mind it shouldn't be a problem as I think they'll make enough money to pay the leccy bill.
