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?

You've forgotten the bit where the son then tells everyone he can find how shit the soup really is, how no one in the firm wants to be making soup. His wife says the soup isn't what it appears, its really disgusting and made with lots of sub standard ingredients, and will make you really sick. How she's had much better soup elsewhere. There are emails to support the fact that the firm knows the soup is crap .

Being fair that bit came after Daddy stood his ground.

So the Son thought he'd try to inflict trouble on Daddy's business.
Not quite realising that trying to pull the business down would affect his inheritance and his ability to eat humble pie and return to the business at a later date.

I half expect a bit of Fergie history will repeat here. They'll end up bankrupt and then either together or Harry alone will settle for a quiet life hidden out of sight.

He needs to stop wearing those god awful grey suits if he's going for interviews.

Meghan wasn't happy in Africa. Looking at the footage of her out there it was obvious it wasn't for her. I will maintain that LA was always her aim.

IrmaFayLear · 15/03/2021 09:14

I think Prince Harry would have been very happy living the colonial life with Chelsey Davy in Africa. Lots of freedom, lots of servants...

Meghan living in Africa? Hilarious.

Lockdownbear · 15/03/2021 09:28

I can't see him and Meghan lasting.

Where do you think Harry will be in 5 years time?

I agree with this.

I suppose the plan would always have been for Charles at some point to have been supported by his two sons & their wives & I think that that is what Chelsy didn't want.

Would have been great to "retire" to with the kids though as W&K's kids came up more & Harry needed to step back.

Did her dress really cost four grand?

Floralnomad · 15/03/2021 09:47

I don’t know why people keep saying that the Queen and Prince Charles are morally obliged to pay the security bill , they had provided him a job for life and security would have been included , he didn’t want that job so it’s entirely down to him .

Giorgio Armani , retails at $4700.

I think if Harry had decided the High Profile life really wasn't for him and he decided to do a low profile job in the UK, running a stable yard or something, on one of the many Royal estates, dŕopping all titles, cutting his cloth to suit, Charles probably would have paid his security.

But the contradictions, not wanting the mundane High profile Royal life but wanting the High profile celebrity life while using the Royal titles is just No Harry not happening.

sadie9 · 15/03/2021 10:05

Harry is in the US against his 'will' as such. He even said so in the Oprah interview. The Mrs won't have been best pleased about that. A more diplomatic response would have been 'I love Meghan and Archie and that's my priority above everything else. Location really isn't important to me'.
It's easy to be a rebel when you are grounded in your family and financed by your family.
The 'rebel' cheeky chappie Harry alone and unsupported by that massive Royal network may well find himself to be a very different kettle of fish.
He'd do very well as the front man in negotiating international arms and weapons deals. He's got the prestige and the military background.

I posted this in another thread. This woman seems to have a completely different attitude and approach to marrying into the aristocracy as a black womanly. It’s a shame M didn’t take a leaf out of her book.

Probably not the industry of choice around here for obvious reasons but objectively I think that's one of the best job "fits" for him I've seen anybody here come up with so far.

scentedgeranium · 15/03/2021 10:32

I think we can safely say he was fast tracked to Sandhurst!
DS who is fit as they come and has stellar A levels (from the opposite of Eton) and a Cambridge degree and a good track record of vacation work couldn't get close because of an annoying medical thing.
Harry was gifted it.

derxa · 15/03/2021 10:42

It's just history repeating itself. The Duke of Windsor pestered his brother for money and was told no.

OutwiththeOutCrowd · 15/03/2021 10:53

He'd have to fight Prince Charles for the job. He's been involved in setting up UK weapons deals with dodgy regimes for years!

(Don't think Meghan would approve.)

Agreed. You talk a lot of sense @Lockdownbear

toffeebutterpopcorn · 15/03/2021 11:14

A high profile celeb life in the states is probably worse than over here. And lawyers don’t come cheap...

Truelymadlydeeplysomeonesmum · 15/03/2021 11:37

@Lockdownbear

I think Charles and Queen probably would have paid the security bills if they'd compromised. The feeling I have is they weren't willing to compromise. They could see disaster coming.

Can you imagine any multi billionaire.

OK Son, you don't want to work in the Family Firm making soup, its boring. You want to go it alone.
Hmmm How are you going to support your family?
Dad I'm going to go into business in television, internet telly!
But Son you know nothing about telly production.
Dad my wife knows, it will be really good we can do this and that, it will be really exciting!
Ok Son can give me a viable business model I'll support you until you are established.

No viable business model was provided. Other than a celebrity chef program using the family secret soup recipes. And a few ideas for other programs with no market research etc.
Sorry Son I will not support you giving away the family secret soup recipes. Not sure that you have thought this through. I'm not prepared to support this proposal.

And then the son stamped his feet and went to go it alone thinking Daddy would fold and bail him out.

YanTanTethera123 · 15/03/2021 13:27

The trouble is he isn’t learning how the world is for everyone else. His life is one of luxury and ease. He will never have the slightest clue what real life is like. He still feels entitled to sit is his mansion and lecture us though. Whilst not changing his own lifestyle one jot

This. By the spadeful.
And I think Meghan has high ambitions riding on him being in the royal family and is exploiting this.

HeadNorth · 15/03/2021 13:30

I think everyone in the RF should get a job and pay their own way - why are you singling out Harry?
