Harry and Megan
« on: January 09, 2020, 13:28:08 PM »
I used to be a huge fan of Prince Harry for his Invictus Games (still am in that regard) but his announcement that he and his wife are stepping down as "senior" royals is appalling behaviour.

If reports are correct he has already decided to keep the house that the tax payers paid to have renovated at a cost of £2.4m.

What a nerve. along with the announcement itself, to male that decision without referenece to the Queen.

They are both very rich and lead a very privileged life, yet they still accept/expect public cash for a house they do not intend to live in, but use as a UK address.  Think how much our charities and hospitals etc could have benefited from that amount of cash.   Thought it said if all when they went to the poorest part of Africa and  then made it all about themselves, moaned about how they struggled !! and felt wounded !  Have no time for them.

Who on earth will notice their absence?
They are independently rich, from an inheritance and from her earnings from TV;  he will keep his income from the Duchy of Cornwall, yet BBC news are asking how they’ll manage.  This must be an important question to millions of ordinary people, relying on working tax credits and relying on food banks or waiting for hours on trolleys in A&zero.

Probably concerned that they might not be able to pay their TV licence.

Shoot me down if you must but I think they should reimburse the public purse both for the renovation and the costs of policing their wedding.
I'm not sure this hasn't been the intention all along.
A once extremely popular and respected member of our Royal family has given the country the finger

From a fully anti royal - a guy who saw his mother hounded to/till her death now fears a similar fate could be ahead of his wife. Appears many people think this is about keeping a house and all the perks - I wonder how many of you would choose a house and trimmings if it meant the person you were closest to in your life might be forfeited along the way.

No nerve, no middle finger. There is "appalling behaviour" at work - not from them though.

My reference to appalling behaviour was the manner in which they have gone about this.

I don’t see any appalling behaviour by him/them. He put his partner ahead of his role, admirable I would suggest.
