Harry is the first Senior Royal to leave the family and make his own living. Edward had to receive a stipend for his lifetime. Edward tried to make his own living and had to crawl back to the family after his production company failed. Harry is the only one who has managed to leave and make his own living.

So congratulations Harry and well done on showing everyone that you can make it on your own.

I agree op, he's released a book about his life his Life so obviously its going to include his family and friends in it. Good for him for creating something and earning the money he needs himself.

Oh give over. Sharing intimate details about his father’s childhood bullying and teddy. Yeah, definitely all about Harry’s life.

Oh sorry I thought you asked for a link. Oops.

He hardly went out and got a proper did he, making money by selling your soul doesn’t usually end well, waiting for the big crash in his life when it all comes falling down, because it will, and the world will be watching!

I read somewhere that when they first got together MM had been worth 5m and PH 20m (his mum’s inheritance).

What an amazing life people can have with 20m...but that’s not enough for some.

Estimated £10m from Diana received at age 30.

Plus

The bulk of his great grandmother's £14m estate (he received most of it, funny how William hasn't whined about that though).

Plus

Until he fecked off, £2.5ish million per year from Charles.

Too poor to buy a sofa though.

Too thick to progress any further in the army.

Too lazy and entitled to stay a working royal and do the mundane work the others do.

Too thick to write his own book.

Too thick to fact check his own book.

Too thick to keep a straight story.

A one trick pony selling off the family's dirty linen, nasty little anecdotes where he bullies women, and his own penis stories to the highest bidder.

What parent wouldn't be proud?

It's only been a couple of years, i will wait and see

You are having a giraffe 🦒!.

StormzyinaTCup · 11/01/2023 15:27

KC gave them £4.5 million from April to June 2020… Three months. More money than most have for a lifetime of work. They could have chosen to live quietly.

You would think so but ……. Im a 40 year old very privileged millionaire father of two and I really need to tell you all that William is a big fat meanie, would you believe it he even got the bigger bedroom and didn’t want to talk to me at school’ bloody hell, give that man some money now!!

I’m getting Bob Geldorf/Live Aid vibes now!

It would be more than enough for most people but not people who want to keep up with the Clooneys and their ilk without the talent to go with it.

TeddybearBaby · 11/01/2023 15:43

Hahahaha thanks op I ‘lol’ 🤣🤣🤣

EpicChaos · 11/01/2023 15:46

Judging by his personality as displayed of late, he isn't fit to work as a burger flipper!
What a nasty, spiteful so and so he appears to be, I wouldn't expect any workforce, anywhere, to have to put up with him!

Cait33 · 11/01/2023 15:49

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yesthatismychildsigh · 11/01/2023 15:58

Not exactly making a living like real people do, is he? And I’m not one of the sad ridiculous people that look for things to screech about.

whoamI00 · 11/01/2023 15:59

Are you being sarcastic?

dontpickupthemob · 11/01/2023 16:03

Your from Bradford enough said with the jokes.

trucklebrunch · 11/01/2023 16:04

I'm sure he received a hefty inheritance from the Queen and will again from King Charles. He is a very wealthy man.

Couldn’t agree more!

Does selling your family count as “making it on your own”?

😂😂😂

You’d probably be better asking Charles and Camilla that question. 😂😂😂…. 🙄

Yeahrightthen · 11/01/2023 16:09

Yes we’ll done Harry - you went off to America to start an independent life…except now you can’t stay away, are presumably ruminating and stewing over everything printed about you and your wife in the press and have now written a tell-all book about the family you claim to love, despite the fact you know this will probably alienate them forever.

Oh, and that apology you want? I wouldn’t hold your breath me old cocker!

StaunchMomma · 11/01/2023 16:10

Of course he's making money but I don't think it's just about that.

He made it pretty clear in the documentary that for him, this is cold, hard revenge!

In his eyes, he's just doing what they did by allowing their offices to sell negative stories about him and Meghan to the press.

He's just doing it to their face.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 11/01/2023 16:12

Because he has something valuable to sell.

Just comes at the cost of family.

Yeahrightthen · 11/01/2023 16:13

Oh, and don’t forget the millions he inherited from Diana and the fact he insisted on keeping his title so he and Megan could capitalise on their royal status in America. They’ve been raking in the £££ from day one.

He’s hardly going off independently to graft down a mine or make tea as an office dogsbody is he??

Butitsnotfunnyisititsserious · 11/01/2023 16:13

Make it on his own by selling out his family 😂😂😂 imagine having that as something you look up to

If the RF have always controlled the narrative, I wonder what stories they had buried about the young, fun playboy prince....
