..to be furious with Harry and Meghan

[NeedToGoToBedNow]

Ok ok, we've had loads of threads. I accept their decision to want to resign from public duties - always though Harry might do that ...

BUT ... why should we pay for them? How come they get to keep Frogmore cottage, which WE the tax payer have paid for? And we have just paid over 2 million for them to renovate it???

If they want to go their seperate ways from Royal duties, FINE...... BUT , if they do that, they surely should relinquish the perks (i.e. the house, cars, money that comes with the job) and do what the rest of us do - earn their own.

(Feeling irrationally angry for some reason!!!)

We can't force them to perform royal duties and since we've forced this position on them (prevented them from working, ensured they'll need a security team for the rest of their life, completely invaded their privacy)

Ludicrous. No one asked for them, actually they were forced on us.

Taxpayers do not pay for the royals. They paid to renovate frogmore.

What happens is all the crown income goes to the U.K. Treasury. They pay an income tax of 100%. THEN they get reimbursed a stipend plus tax credits back of any allowable expenses like renovations or security. But all that never ever exceeds what they pay in up front.
The net income to the treasury from the royals is always £200m+ each year. They don’t cost U.K. taxpayers a penny.

Don’t understand this. Trump will be out at most in five years; we will have these clowns forever.

An Ex president has lifelong security. Wants to pop to London to visit a business of his in 2027- we pay for his security.

I suspect people are asking what the hell the matter is because you stated you are angry about 2 people who have absolutely zero impact on your life o affect on you in any way shape or form!

Well said!

MAKE IT STOP!

IS THERE NO ESCAPE?

I just don't care. Surely I'm not the only one?

Are you furious with all royals, or just Harry and Meghan? What about rich singers who live in disgusting opulence and waste?

Where was all this fury when Andy was exposed?! I saw a tweet today about how Buckingham Palace had never felt so disappointed in members of the family before. REALLY?? Well, let's throw Andy another trafficked teenage girl to help him manage his share of the disappointment.

The RF are supposed to not be political and defend the Christian faith/faiths and representatives of I think the rule of law?

They should be entertaining politicians from other countries to aid our nation in things like trade deals, gifting awards, attending religious services at times of national tragedygiving the PM a confidential non political sounding board from a non yes person, opening hospital wings etc.

PC and the Spider letters, PH and the various woke - alternative to Christian faith/faiths - Luxury beliefs find it challenging.

Couldn't have said it better, Brenda.
Andy out there taking advantage of poor abused underage girls and barely a murmur compared to this furore. What a bloody country.

Who cares? I care more about Prince Andrew rodgering young girls! Why don't you get worked up over that instead?

We may not pay taxes directly to the royals but their incredible wealth was not “earned”, at least certainly not earned in the way that an honest person earns a wage through their labor, or a businessman or company earns money through offering a product or service which you may or may not choose to purchase - no the royal’s wealth was acquired from your ancestors and mine - either through violence or the threat of violence. All royal money is blood money, no different to the mafia except for the larger time scale.

The reaction of the RF to this news compared to their reaction to Prince Andrew raping a trafficked teenager tells you all you need to know about their priorities.
The royal family are disgusting for keeping silent about his behaviour. No wonder M and H want rid of them.

They are piss takers of the highest order
Hope the queen and her office take them to task and remove as many perks as possible
Odious pair

All the references on here to them wanting to step out of the spotlight are hilarious.

They want to jump smack bang into the spotlight!

Prince Andrew raping a trafficked teenager

Has he been accused of rape?

Here we go again. Someone make it stop. I am furious about all the threads.

The royal family are disgusting for keeping silent about his behaviour. No wonder M and H want rid of them.

Indeed, alas I don't think H&M are resigning over PA. MM knew about PA as did everyone years ago and the patents were prepared and lodged almost a year ago, long before the PA Emily Mathis interview.

I'm furious with our mps for their votes yesterday rejecting reuniting child refugees with families, voting to remove my rights and my family's rights to live and work across europe without restriction etc.

I don't give a stuff about Meghan and Harry. I wish them happiness.

I know it's really irrational to be this pissed off! I think in annoyed as I currently have four jobs and two children and DH works long hours and we r struggling a bit

It's not Meghan's fault you had children you couldn't afford 🤔

Harry is for one hell of a ride with his foreign, older, divorced actress wife. What the hell was he thinking. The woman does not understand her new role or her duties to the people she is paid to represent. She had visions of herself being a fairy tale princess and it's not working that way at all for her.

It was repugnant when she complained about 'her awful life' using the back drop of people suffering real hardships in Africa.

Stupid Harry.

Btw; I'm not a Russian or a journalist. I was born and raised in England, and have lived in the U.S. for over 47 years. I have an adult son (older than Meghan) who is also mixed-race - African American/British. According to many here on MN, I am a racist because I don't care at all for Meghan.

I haven’t read that Prince Andrew had been accused of raping anyone.
The most I have seen is how he partied with Epstein and seemed to think Epstein was a nice man and that he doesn’t believe Epstein could have been trafficking girls behind the scenes.
So, Prince Andrew is not very smart. But being gormless and oblivious is hardly a crime. Royals and celebrities are always surrounded by sleazy types hoping that the glamour will rub off and mask their dark side.

I understand the Judiciary have a crown symbol, and you need them along with a free press, as part of a democracy to function.

As I said previously, H&M are part of the wokesters totalitarian luxury beliefs trend.

PH isn't the sharpest tool in the box so probably doesn't understand he is considered by some as behaving as a fascist useful idiot, any more than he understood why it wasn't wise to wear a Nazi uniform.

According to many here on MN, I am a racist because I don't care at all for Meghan.

You absolutely are racist. And bingo to your 'I have a mixed race son'. Nobody cares.

"foreign, older, divorced actress wife."

And people wonder why they are called out for being racist?!

Apart from saying she is foreign is completely unnecessary, so what if she is older, divorced, and an actress? You say the above like they are bad things. It is very narrow-minded, and very petty. It proves what we've been saying all along. But still MM's haters cannot understand why they are called out.
