A boring logistics thread (Harry & Meghan)

So the working royals will go anywhere and do all trips etc and their every need will be pre-thoughtout, and delivered.

How does it work with H&M? Do they bring their own household staff along? If they were still working royals then Frogmore would be staffed by their office, someone would sort groceries and linen and pay anything that needed paying.

But now they have stepped out, does someone provide a car? If so who? Or do they arrange a hire car? Who does their groceries and cooking? Do they have their own staff for things like laundry etc? That would be ridiculously expensive!

I assume they have a PA but is she/he hired through the Crown or independently? Does the PA then work with the other royals staff? Or do they just sit and wait to be told what to do by the Crown and in the mean time Meghan dashes round Sainbos for pasta and pesto?

Op my comment was directly to somelme who said they are not working royals anymore.

Harry was born in direct line of succession!
Yes he's further down the line but he's still by blood a central royal.

I wonder about all this too. Also wondered about how William contacted Harry!

🤣🤣🤣🤣 they are brothers - I’m pretty sure they have each other’s mobile numbers!

Well, we’ve been good they haven’t spoken in a very long time and sometimes people change their mobile numbers. I don’t speak to my siblings for months on end and at times I haven’t had their numbers .

I would assume as guests of the monarch that staff and amenities will be provided for them from the existing household staff. There'll be processes in place for it.

This! Fear not for H&M 😅
The (many) royal residences are run like the most expensive 5 hotels - valets, concierge, drivers, butlers, cooks all included! Anyone staying there gets 5 treatment.
They will be waited on hand and foot as guests by the household staff.

If you stay at a royal residence you are assigned staff - it’s called private maiding. It’s how my friend started at Windsor - she looked after many of the royals who didn’t live there, as well as heads of state, and the Queen’s friends. Everything from packing and unpacking luggage to washing their smalls and taking in their breakfast.

Snapchat. Works even if you change your mobile number when you move abroad. Always Snapchat. Plus messages are deleted so can't be leaked to the press and if they take a screenshot it alerts you.

I think they travel with a hair stylist and make up artist. Plus their personal assistants and advisors. Probably quite the entourage!
