Princess Meghan of America!

Made...

This is just the latest thing she will be crucified for. They cant do right for doing wrong so may as well please themselves

PortiaCastis · 08/01/2020 18:49

Ah so the media have finally achieved their gaol
Hopefully the bitching will now stop

isthisn0rmal · 08/01/2020 18:49

I remember seeing a blind item when they were first married that said they'd end up moving to Canada. All of it was so accurate.

Let’s hope that they don’t take career advice from Uncle Andy.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 08/01/2020 18:50

It will be interesting to see how they intend to fund themselves.

PrettyPity · 08/01/2020 18:50

Good for them to leave this circus!

Bluntness100 · 08/01/2020 18:51

They are both privately multi millionaires, they don't need to do anything to fund themselves for the rest of their lives.

Lolly86 · 08/01/2020 18:52

Not unexpected, theybseem to have been struggling with it all for some time

'work towards becoming financially independent.'
Taxpayers in one guise or another will still be picking up the tab.

isthisn0rmal · 08/01/2020 18:53

I do doubt they will ever become financially independent, although they absolutely should if they're spending a significant chunk of time elsewhere.

Now seems a waste of money to renovate Frogmore Cottage

I think other than security I'd assume not, and if required the queen or Charles will pay privately. Meghan was already a multi millionaire when she married him, her net worth was huge due to thr fact suits went global. Harry is also very wealthy due to his mother.

MustardScreams · 08/01/2020 18:55

This isn’t anything to celebrate. The British public and media have been absolute cunts.

I’m glad they have their privacy and lives back. And they should never, ever have had to endure the disgusting media and comments people made.

Racism is clearly alive and well.

EnjoyyourBrexit · 08/01/2020 18:56

Don't blame them. The comments on fb regarding this story are already hideous. If I were them, I'd get the hell out of this hateful tabloid run country and live far far away in peace.

superfandango · 08/01/2020 18:57

What does "financially independent" mean in this context? No money going their way for protection officers from the RF?

JKScot4 · 08/01/2020 18:57

Harry doesn’t get paid from the Civil list, funded by Duchy of Cornwall and inheritance from his mother.

Wilberforce1 · 08/01/2020 18:57

She got what she wanted then.. They could be financially independent now if they wanted to I'm not sure they have to "work towards it" unless she a going to go back to what she does best.. Acting!

PortiaCastis · 08/01/2020 18:58

I agree that the media and public have been kerb licking bastards but they still won't be happy and will try to destroy Kate again

Wagsandclaws · 08/01/2020 18:58

I'm not surprised.

schoolcats · 08/01/2020 18:58

Piers Morgan has, predictably, put the boot in:

People say I'm too critical of Meghan Markle - but she ditched her family, ditched her Dad, ditched most of her old friends, split Harry from William & has now split him from the Royal Family.
I rest my case.

Bluntness100 · 08/01/2020 18:58

I think it's quite sad also. That it's come to this.

I think their intent is to live as private individuals, raise their son in privacy and do charity work as and when they choose,

Any money will be security related for as long as required. They genuinely don't need it past that.

Theworldisfullofgs · 08/01/2020 18:59

Good for them. May'be people will leave them alone now.

Completely agree

Clearly that's what the six weeks off was for, to make sure they were making the right decision, clearly they have decided they have.

Security is expensive though, and I think either Charles or the queen will pay privately for it, for as long as required, ie till they feel the family is safe.
