To think that Harry and Megan's return to the UK has everything to do with money running out?

That really. I mean it's not like they are loved here whether it comes to family or the public. I think Harry might genuinly want to live in England whereas his wife is looking for the attention and money.

Yes @x2boys the Palace have very clever PR sometimes. I believe someone was hired specifically to polish up Camilla.

Other times the Palace PR don't seem to have a clue.

@TheignT " I'm not sure why I'd be expected to know who Phil Collins children are."

I'm 69 so I was young when Phil Collins and Genesis were individually and collectively at the height of their fame, and I was a fan of both. I wouldn't have a bleeding clue who any of their children were.

Yes, except for those Republicans who will support Trump no matter what.
Perhaps I should have said that most of the US is no longer remotely interested in H&M, and their whining, and expectations of attention and publicity.

Well you say that but thats not what i see on socisl media their seems to be an awful lot obssesive US posters beleiving any old shite written about them .

If there’s any chance of security being funded with taxpayers money then I think we automatically get an opinion. It’s no different than when people disapprove of other things such as foreign aid.

I’m not a supporter of any monarchy, I think it’s an antiquated institution myself, but surely nobody can think that Andrew for instance is more deserving of security than Harry and his wife and children?

Well said.

Sadly there will be some people who do think Andrew is more deserving than the Sussexes.

"Racism card" 🙄

I have never seen anyone other than a racist, use the term ‘race card’.

Even the right wing media have had to admit that Harry always said he wanted a British education for his children and that's what's happening. Harry inherited from the Queen. They protect each other's wealth and status. So we keep buying into the birthright bullshit. None of them will ever have to do anything, for money.

Sadly I believe you’re right.

Harry is still a Royal by birth, personally I don’t believe you can deny him the security the rest of them get.

Doesn’t matter if he stepped down from ‘royal duties’ or not. He’s still a target.

Its bizaree
When Andrew was stripped of all his titles
I ssw a lot of people saying Harry &Meghan should be too
Now personally think the Royal Family is ridiculous as a conceot in this day and age
But H&M being a bit annoying is in no way comparable le to what AMW is alleged to have done .

When reputable Royal historians say that AMW has done far more damage to the Monarchy than the Sussexes, that is who I believe. And agree with.

Agreed.

One thing that gets me is the frothers who think Harry and Meghan are vile for what they ‘put the late Queen through’.

I guess the fact that she protected her son is lost on those people.

I think the whole family seems utterly toxic and it’s bizarre to me that Harry and Meghan are seen as the bad seeds.

Andrew did what a vast amount of people did, in a culture where it was the norm.

Much like Muslims do what they do, in the norm of their culture.

megharry turned on their family and betrayed them. In no culture is that considered acceptable.

simpsonthecat · Yesterday 11:32

What?

His connections with Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Guiffre is just a cultural norm?

I've heard it all now.

Some of them even tried to blame them for the death of the 99year old very frail Prince Philip .

Wow. Am I right in thinking that you are equating Meghan’s relationship with her family with sleeping with a minor?

Bloody hell people are mental. As if Meghan’s family have all behaved well too.

simpsonthecat · Yesterday 11:34

Yes, QE2 and Philip would've lived till 115 if the Sussexes hadn't left!

WTF?
Andrew having sex with trafficked Virginia Guirffe is just a cultural norm
And you think Meghan and Harry leaving their toxic family is far more seroius
I dont know what to say??

NerrSnerr · Yesterday 11:38

I’d love to know what happens behind closed doors and who are the ‘real baddies’ (although I suspect that all of them are terrible people behind the scenes). You don’t need to know the truth when you read these threads through as so many people genuinely believe the fantasies they make up in their head is the truth and they 100% believe their reality is real.

I love it when posters say they’re definitely not influenced by the media, but are clearly influenced by the equally delusional tiktokers and the like. Utter madness.

I can’t remember if people were this bonkers about the royals in the 90s when there was all the Charles and Camilla drama.

With a £100m the bank - no they are not running out of money. 😂

Maybe you aren't familiar with the history of the Royal Family and their long standing tradition of feuding?

Dim Harry put a target on himself

Prince Harry stated in his 2023 memoir, Spare, that he killed 25 Taliban fighters while serving as an Apache helicopter co-pilot and gunner in Afghanistan
