So the saga continues
Thé Canadians are not happy about paying for the Sussexes security

I think that will be their downfall. They can’t actually fund the cost of their «freedom»
Other security experts saying that the cost of 24/7 private security is about £4million per year.

Problem is; they have skipped the a Royal fold, and have to pay the real cost of their security and accommodation . They will have to sell every aspect of their Lives to fund this.

Hard to justify publicly funded positions, especially given Andrew’s trade positions over the years.

This reminds me that when Andrew and Fergie were first married they made a royal visit to Canada. There was talk in the press that Andrew could be the next Governor General. I recall reading that it wouldn't be possible.

In any case, as a PP has pointed out, Harry would not earn much as our GG and would be expected to follow the same constraints as the Queen's representative as he has been facing as a member of the RF.

I'm wondering why such a big deal has been made of Meghan not being required to take part in the discussion yesterday. There is obviously a reason.
I feel certain people beginning to back away. Oprah Winfrey denying there are any plans for a tell all interview. Trudeau denying the Canadian govt will pick up the security bill, Elton John expressing 'surprise'. They could end up untouchables if they aren't careful.

Yes, I noted that Justin - who should get rid of that beard - has changed his tune about picking up their massive 24/7 security bill. Noticed the Oprah comment too. Interesting.

The only thing I don’t know is why their buddy, Elton is surprised. Thought he was a confidante.

@fallen121 I wonder what the Russian businessman will expect in return? Here we go again with the PA routine.

PH will not be able to take part in Polo matches now. I wonder how he feels about giving that up?

astralweaks · 14/01/2020 18:57

I know they're a bit strapped for cash at the moment and relying on handouts but is this really wise?

Wise? I think wisdom has been thrown to the four winds, if there was ever any in the first place.

notmoresheep · 14/01/2020 18:57

why won’t PH be able to take part in polo matches?

Mummyoflittledragon · 14/01/2020 18:59

Omg that A Very Royal Narcissistic site is interesting. 😱

fallfallfall · 14/01/2020 19:00

fallen update. It’s not Russian
We will report however that a land title search of the property shows that it is owned by Towner Bay Country Club Ltd, that has 24 directors — all but one of whom live in Victoria.

AutumnCrow · 14/01/2020 19:00

God they'll be holidaying with Arron Banks next.

Stinkyeddie · 14/01/2020 19:02

After the abdication Edward was made GG of the bahamas.
It didnt go well.
Wallis hated it and there was a murder/ritual murder of a prominent local that was a bit um shady to say the least.

They may find Oprah is quite booked up for the foreseeable

Oprah will do only whatever works best for Oprah, but if this happens I really, really hope Harry isn't foolish enough to say "we don't need these people in our lives, darling" ... the blast he'd get would probably propel him right back to the UK

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 14/01/2020 19:03

It wouldn't surprise me that in a few years to come Meghan will run for President.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 14/01/2020 19:04

@notmoresheep\

I don't imagine Canada goes in for Polo in the same way, and his ponies are not going to be shipped to Canada are they? They must cost a fortune to maintain anyway and he won't presumably have stables.

blinkingowl · 14/01/2020 19:05

TheMustress commenting on a topical subject that’s the talk of the nation ..... and not much else? And that puzzles you?

SunsetBoulevard3 · 14/01/2020 19:05

Ah, I am wrong. A quick search shows that Polo is indeed quite a thing in Canada.

Andylion · 14/01/2020 19:11

A PP referred to M&H modelling themselves after the Carters, the Obamas etc. I thought "Well if they contribute to making the world a better place the way former President Jimmy Carter and wide Rosalynn have, more power to them!" Grin

notmoresheep · 14/01/2020 19:12

so the Vancouver house is owned by a shell company? they’re straying into PA territory already.

Run for President Grin Grin Grin

Anyone who was a true feminist wouldn't have made sleazy video for a lads' mag

What sleazy video?

Would people think I was mad to say I don’t think Archie is real. They borrowed a baby for S Africa

Don't be ridiculous. And yes, I think you're deranged

astralweaks · 14/01/2020 19:21

President? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 14/01/2020 19:21

A very Royal Narcissist on Megxit

She is just chilling.
The only good thing is that narcissists follow a set pattern

  1. Love bombing
All the gazing and hand holding etc
  1. Devaluation
This is why Harry is in such a state of mental anguish. He cannot do anything right to make Meghan happy.
  1. Discard
Meghan will dump Harry when she moves onto something/ someone better.

I wonder to what extent the RF know that Meghan is a narcissist.
The Queen has definitely recognised that a softly softly approach is necessary to avoid piling more mental anguish on Harry.

I think it's said that the Towner Bay Club own a number of properties, and investors buy the rights to use one of them rather than purchasing them outright IYSWIM? It's also reported that they can be anonymous ATM, but that this is changing - which should be interesting

Anyway, whoever "owns" the property they'll doubtless be along for their pound of flesh in due course ...

The80sweregreat · 14/01/2020 19:30

As much as I'm not a fan of any of them the idea that the baby isn't real really is a conspiracy theory too far!!
