The royal family

Would it really be so impossible for Harry to get a job?

Seriously, He has had an Eton and University education, He must have an incredible contacts file Grin Could he really not have found some suitable employment to help fund his family without resorting to reality tv? I'm thinking maybe Bonhams/Southerbys as an art expert sort of gig (with training obvs) Give himself a pupose in life?, a reason to get up in morning? No more need for dads money?

A few of them do seem to have jobs, so why not him?

Why is it any of your business what job he does? You don't get to determine what is or is not a suitable job...snobby much! Bet tou feel real good sitting in your judgy pants mocking another person because you don't think what they do is good enough.

You don't pay for him anymore so 🤷 whats the problem what he does eh?

What a dad life you must have to be so bothered by a person you haven't met.

Roussette · 20/07/2021 07:36

In answer to the original post... he has got a job. And posters on MN whipped themselves up to a complete frenzy about the whole thing. Because it's a case of 'get a job'. Then 'No, not that job' and 'I don't like the announcement so I'm going to call you dim and any other name I can think of'.

Meghan is working him hard

Has it ever ever occurred to you he might be doing exactly what he wants without some evil prince stealing woman telling him what to do?

Dreamstate · 20/07/2021 10:39

What job do you do Op? Would love to know so we can then mock you if it isn't a suitable one....

Viviennemary · 22/07/2021 09:03

The amount of money he needs to keep up his present lifestyle wouod mean a job wouldn't even pay for his security never mind his other expenses. I reckon he needs around $8-10m a year minimum. Possibly a lot more.

artquejtion · 23/07/2021 09:38

But he has lots of various jobs and certainly he has plenty of opportunities to continue working and making a living.

Abraxan · 23/07/2021 09:55

@halcyondays

He didn’t go to university, he didn’t have the grades to get in.
I don't think it was that. I think the plan was always to do to Sandhurst.

It is definitely possible to go to university with 2 Alevels, even with BD. Various options including foundation year, would have been an option. Abd that's without his level of connections.

BasiliskStare · 23/07/2021 18:22

someone report this before I do because it is naughty - do you think Harry is worried now Meghan knows Bill Gates is on the market - more money , more charities. - Ah that is naughty & I shall report in a while - but the using the royal family thing for money just made me think of it.

BasiliskStare · 23/07/2021 18:50

Further
I know people have posted it before , but what still puzzles me is that Harry could have forged himself such a place so e.g. Invictus , He could have talked about mental health , possibly young peoples' sport as he seems to be good at that and they would have had Frogmore cottage ( Which I think is very pretty & would love that ) and Meghan could have chosen her charities . & then they could have bought a holiday home with Harry's inheritance in USA

I know the RF are in the spotlight a lot but also they do get to have much private time - e.g. Balmoral / Sandringham. / Highgrove / whatever Will & Kate's is in Norfolk

Well - up to them . I am sure we shall all see how it works out.

I wish them well , - I wish any family with 2 young children well.

@Truelymadlydeeplysomeonesmum

She is going to get bored of him at some point anyway. He isn't exactly her intellectual equal. If or when that happens I can see him living in Africa or somewhere like that. Probably flying a helicopter and running a charity project there.
Why do you think she will be bored with him? , it seems like like you are assuming she doesn’t love him for he is . Why is that? What gave you that impression?. And people in Africa don’t need Harry flying helicopters all over whatever ‘Africa’ is. We have compentent pilots already and don’t need a royal flying helicopters in the ‘African bush’
Zuluqueen · 23/07/2021 22:50

@BlackCatShadow

As awful as it is to say, I also can't see them lasting. They seem to have absolutely nothing in common. I do wish them the best though. I hope they can find their place.
The UK tabloids and some royal eclxperst and deranged people who hate Meghan wish they won’t last. That’s disturbing, to wish divorce on a couple. Bet most would wish Harry married an English rose not a divorced mixed race American huh!
Zuluqueen · 23/07/2021 22:54

@ajandjjmum

He chose the wrong wife. Although I'm sure he loves her to bits, her desire to be 'top dog' was always going to be a problem. I always tell my kids that love is one thing, but it's just as important to have shared values and ambition.
This is just mean . He chose somebody he loved. Are you married? Would you like if somebody said your husband chose the wrong wife?. Why is it okay for you to assume that Meghan had ulterior motives for marrying Harry? . Accept that Harry your English prince married Meghan , he chose her.
Zuluqueen · 23/07/2021 23:00

@catinbootsx

Why do they need a 10mil Cali mansion though? Surely they could have gone for something more modest and not saddled themselves with a ridiculous mortgage
Why are the UK tabloids, MN Posters etc etc concerned about Harry’s mansion? . So many of your Royals live in manhood I’ve mansions that you fund. Shouldn’t you be concerned about that. Or it’s this like what the tabloids do to black footballers buying houses for themselves & their mum’s and NFL & NBA black players spending their money and being made to feel like they should be grateful and countable to their masters?. He especially Meghan( coz really this is who it’s about) does not owe us their gratitude. Nobody owns her
Zuluqueen · 23/07/2021 23:07

@the80sweregreat

Oh Meghan is a social climber. I'm sure she won't sit about now she has what she want for now.

I think she will struggle with the money side of things as that kind of lifestyle is expensive and 23mil won't go far now they have to pay for it all. The Clooney's and others out there are worth a lot more. They are ' poor' in comparison. It won't be easy for them but you never know. Paying the Brits back for their wedding she didn't really want might be a good idea too. Start billing them , pay it back by installments!

Meghan is not a social climber. She is not a jezebel who bewitched Harry. She is not evil, she is not a witch. She fell in love with an English prince and married him. She gave working as a royal a chance. She was subjected to years on bullying, racism, and harassment and kept her head down . This is not the 18th century , Jim Crow or Uk ‘ no blacks allowed’ ears. Her husband & her made a decision to move away from all that was hurting her and their child. Why can’t people give her a benefit of doubt, aren’t her black/ mixed race tears worthy of emphathy?. She is human isn’t she? Or it’s too much to think she didn’t plan to steal the white prince and ruin the British Royal Family, even with its all its previous scandals, racism, sexism etc etc . Meh!!
Zuluqueen · 23/07/2021 23:09

@HerewardTheWoke

If they had genuinely wanted to live a private life the best thing for Harry would have been to take up farming or estates management, or to work for a conservation charity - either in the UK or somewhere else - most likely Southern Africa.

But as they still want to be high profile global humanitarians, without the backup of a massive institution or lots of money behind them, media is their only option to support that kind of lifestyle.

They are living a private life . ( 🤷‍♀️ ). ‘> ps intended it to be a brown shrug✊🏿
Zuluqueen · 23/07/2021 23:11

@GoLightlyontheEarth

The thing is that Meghan is a grown woman. Why does she need other people to ‘get her help’? Can’t she pick up the phone and call a therapist herself?
Im a grown woman, I still needed & still need people to help me when struggling mentally.
Zuluqueen · 23/07/2021 23:21

These threads are always so predictable and sad. Some posters pretend to really be criticising Harry $ not Meghan. But really it’s all about her. They call him all sorts names like dim, stupid not bright etc etc and then stic the boot in on Meghan’s mental health, her relationship with her family and her as a mother. It would be easier if this section on MN was like tattle, Stormfront or that other racist where other posters used to post nasty stuff about her without consequence. Pity some of us recognize their tactics because they used to troll us, dox us and abuse us all over the place. The thing is Harry is not drawing taxpayer money, he doesn’t owe us anything. Meghan is human( yes I said it) she is human. She doesn’t deserve dissecting & criticism over and over. She is on maternity leave after loosing a baby🤨, does that not owe goodwill or nah?. She didn’t destroy the monarchy, you still have your Queen, Charles, William and future queen Katherine Windsor. Shouldn’t there be threads about how these fabulous Royal are going to serve the Kingdom and the Commonwealth?😂🤷‍♀️

SueSaid · 24/07/2021 10:29

Zulu that speech is lovely but wholly inaccurate.

We have entered this weird situation where H has played the victim card so well he not only believes it himself but he has some of you convinced too.

I do not doubt life in the public eye is hard, they have been scrutinised as has every other member of thr rf. Camilla, Fergie and her daughters been absolutely ripped apart by the msm. It isn't right, but they all experience it. Charles is frequently mocked too.

Harry and his trashy reveals, his books, his selective recollections are all just absolutely appalling.

He is subjecting his UK family to the same scrutiny he has complained about. All because he couldn’t have his own Sussex Royal USA brand.

rosetylersbiggun · 24/07/2021 11:03

I honestly don't understand the hate. I saw this morning that Rebecca English had made up a packet of lies claiming Harry was going to be writing four books, with one to be published after the Queen's death - all totally made up.

I honestly hope there's some logical explanation - like someone intentionally leaked a fake story to test whether a staffer was trustworthy - because I really can't understand how the press is allowed to print such damaging lies.

Marmaladeagain · 24/07/2021 11:10

I've always noticed Harry's unpleasant side - lots of others really didn't notice it for some reason (Palace PR to make him a bit of a buffoon rather than malicious).

Didn't fool me though, but weirdly lots of people did initially think Harry had been changed by Meghan. He hadn't - H just saw a new life on offer in US for him with his grand ideas of half-in/half-out. He didn't want to leave the RF and he thought he could live half celebrity style life in US (arrogance?).

So M got suckered in as much as lots of people did by Harry.

I don't expect M will ever quite understand the RF's role in our political system and will always see it through the aggrieved lens that Harry presents everything.

It is strange to hear in real life (not internet) that so many people are beginning to see Harry clearly. Meghan didn't change him she just opened up new ways for Harry to be unpleasant and embarrassing via the US.

A caring husband would not inflict such a restricted life of protocol on someone with no idea of what they were truly letting themselves in for. Notice: Harry, again. He always sits back and watches the fallout. Not this time though as too many people have seen the H that was always, always there.

Roussette · 24/07/2021 11:11

@rosetylersbiggun I don't understand the hate either. I think some people just have to feel hate, and have to find a figure to pin that hate on. H&M are convenient for them. If it wasn't them, it would be someone else.

I would've thought people would be happy. They're gone, they paid back what was asked of them, they aren't costing the taxpayer anything.

They're happy, they're earning their own money (who cares how big their house is... they're the ones paying for it! Unlike the 26 palaces and country piles we pay for over here). They're living a different life and supporting themselves.

All those who say 'but they want privacy, why don't they shut up'....
Privacy does not mean staying in your house, never going out and talking to anyone! It means your life choices are your own, and strangers don't own you.

I, for one, will be interested and curious as to what they achieve in the future.

Good on them for making that move and living their life.

Viviennemary · 24/07/2021 12:30

Personally I think it will all end in tears. But its anybody's guess. If they celebrate their silver and golden wedding anniversary I will happily admit to have guessed wrong. Can't see it though. Too much controversy in the few short years already.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 24/07/2021 12:38

I saw this morning that Rebecca English had made up a packet of lies claiming Harry was going to be writing four books, with one to be published after the Queen's death - all totally made up

I hope so, yes - but then I hoped just the one book was media nonsense and it seems I was wrong, so fingers crossed for this time

After all it would hardly be the first time journos had invented something

SallyLockheart · 24/07/2021 12:50

Rousette. It’s great they are establishing themselves over there but the issue is that their happiness seems to be based upon making Harry’s family unhappy - and by endlessly criticising and invading the privacy of the RF. And telling “mid-truths”.
Two wrongs don’t make a right, as we say.
They have selective and empty compassion, it seems. Genuine compassions are tinged with cold hearted money making commercial attitudes and the two don’t sit well together. At least in the UK. No idea of the US

Roussette · 24/07/2021 13:11

Are you talking about the Oprah interview or something else? Because that was back in March.

SueSaid · 24/07/2021 13:51

'It’s great they are establishing themselves over there but the issue is that their happiness seems to be based upon making Harry’s family unhappy'

Yes it's all so very negative isn't it. Not much light shining if you ask me.

Victimhood, martyrdom, meanies. Poor H has had such an awful time of it hasn't he. If only he could demonstrate some resilience and positivity. I'd like to read a book about the authentic charities he is supporting or, some recipes maybe? Just stop the constant waah waah waa'hing.
