Meghan and Kate

[Amwantingbasement]

I only watched about 25 mins and then switched off. Am sure MM felt exactly as she described. But what I did feel was odd (apart from the whole Archie should have had a title so he had protection when none of the Wessex or York kids have government protection - it was withdrawn a while back) was her comment on the Kate situation. She said “Kate was upset. Kate made me cry. Yes it was about bridesmaid dresses.” Then a story came out 7 months later about how MM had made KM cry which was apparently false.

As soon as she relayed the story it made me think - but why was Kate upset? Had you (perhaps inadvertently) upset her? Maybe the story was true - you had made her cry. Obviously what was missing was the fact MM had been made to cry by Kate. But I don’t think the story that was being peddled was necessarily incorrect.

Did anyone else think the same?

They have enough £££ to pay for security. They do not have to live like the Clooneys et al and travel all the damn time. They are not working for the UK government anymore. We are on the bones of our arse economically thanks to Brexit and Covid. Why the jeff should we pay for them to be 'secure' swanning around like celebs.

Perhaps if the RF has stepped and corrected a few mistruths in the press it might of toned down the abuse she got and the number of deaths threats against them.

Anyway we are no longer paying for them so move on and find something else to pick apart on them

If it took £2.5 million to do up, that’s at least partly due to the state it was in to begin with - converting a listed building back to a single family home from staff flats will be expensive

A house which the non working royal Yorks of pork are now enjoying without any negative comment from the press.

find it more odd that the despite the York girls having security until they were 18, AND the fact that there are neo Nazis currently in prison for making death threats to the Sussexes, that the Royal Family clearly didn't care about Archie enough to ensure he was safe

^This

The Yorks have never been shy of the porkbarrel and the girls' security costs (just those which were actually published) were astronomical. The way in which Meghan has been villified for issues many proved untrue whilst dodgy airmiles Andy keeps all his titles and privileges after all his dodgy dealings tells a massive story about the Royals and what they really care about.

That's fine...now.

When they were working for the RF and their baby was still refused security, THAT is when H&M are complaining about.

If your baby was at direct risk because of your job, and your employer asked you to pay for your own child's security, despite lower profile employees getting it for their kids, and your receiving specific threats, would YOU be happy?

@cyclingmad it's they that won't can't move on. The interview made it quite clear that they think the UK Tps should still be footing the bill, so no, I won't just leave it but thanks for the suggestion!

No, they said they left the RF to earn their own money to pay for their own security for their son.

@SirChing he was a new born whilst they were still working, a very newborn, he was secured by default because his father was secured and he was mainly in the house or with his mother, who also had security.

Just because thats what they think end of the day we aren't so whats your point exactly? I can think and say I wish the government paid me money to sit at home on furlough or whatever bollocks I choose to doesn't mean its happening.

You choose to comment on them so if you want to spend your time picking apart people.who have left the UK and stepped away from the RF thats yournrigjt but stop using the whole taxpayers paying for them when we don't anymore!

@SirChing they have many many millions, they did not need to 'work to pay for security' they need to work to afford to live like Hollywood megastars, which they are not. Boo fucking hoo!

Wow im amazed you know their finances in so much details, pray do tell us how much money they have exactly how much their outgoings are and how much spare they have left so we can agree with you

@cyclingmad it's public knowledge re Diana's estate and that Charles has footed both boys bills from the Duchy. MM's mouth pieces leaked how much she had to counteract gold digging claims. You are so desperate for everyone to be out for them, you just keep ignoring the facts. Again, we can disagree, but the facts are the facts

and they obviously thought they had enough to staff and run a 9 bed 16 bath mansion for the next few decades too....

There finances are all over Google they put it out there

They were getting security archie was not being left out but they left the royal family to move to another country and stated they wanted financial independence so they were given it then Charles stepped in and paid for it for awhile

They have always had the option to go to work or use his inheritance he has inherited off his mum his great grandmother they gave him more than his brother plus he kept his salary from the military he isnt poor he never has been poor

How did H&Ms security manage to be in two places simultaneously, once maternity leave was over, and H&M were doing public engagements with their security, and the baby was at home with his nanny?

Harry inherited 10million from Diana and 4 million from the QM. Meghan herself had a few million.

As their security was quoted in the media as costing 2 million a year, then I am sure you are able to realise that that money will run out way before Archie is 18.

So yes, for their security costs alone, they need an income.

PS you sound so angry and bitter about their existence. You may want to take a breath.

[quote ChocolateSantaisthebestkind]@SirChing the residences are secured as well as the individuals you numb nut, ya know inc ase a terrorist were to 'drop a package round' or pose as a workman or something like that...ffs [/quote]
Erm, I may be a "numbnut" (you sweet talker) but I have enough brains to realise that building and perimeter security is a TOTALLY different job than being a close protection officer assigned to a person.

You realise you are also condemning the child to only ever remain in a property when his parents are on a several day work assignment.

Having the imagination to recognise these things doesn't make me a "numbnut". Again, calm down and maybe breathe.

@SirChing that 10 million was very well invested with advantageous tax arrangements and was valued at around 40 + million when he came of an age to access it. Also, they could have bought a much more modest mansion in a more secluded area. Any which way you spin it, they 'ain't on the breadline and never will be!

[quote ChocolateSantaisthebestkind]@cyclingmad You are coming across as unhinged, calm down. We can disagree and the world will still turn.[/quote]
Lol pot kettle black, then again I'm not the one obsessing over them and trying to bring them down or be horrible about two people who I dont really know.

And what's your point? They don't expect security to be paid for now they aren't working as senior royals. They did when they were.

So they now have £40 million and have bought a nice house with it. Good for them. They want to earn more. That's a problem why exactly?

Your rage and bitterness smacks of massive jealousy. I really don't think some people realise just how unhinged they sound.

@SirChing noone's stopping them. They're just calling out their CFERY of wanting to use limited public money rather than deplete their own, even though they are no longer in public service. Laughing at the bitter comments
