The royal family

Harry had little access to money

Harry was given Nottingham Cottage a 2 bedroom cottage presumably rent free. He was given security paid by the taxpayers. He was also given a clothing allowance from Charles to pay for clothes for formal public occasions.

But he obviously had little access to money. He bought his casual clothes cheap from TK Maxx and talks about drying shirts on radiators.

When he told Charles he was going to marry Meghan Charles said he could not afford to pay for Meghan and Harry as he was already paying for William and Catherine. Charles suggested Meghan continued working to pay for Garry and Meghan. Meghan paid for furniture from Ikea and sofa.com to improve the furnishings in Nottingham Cottage.

Charles paid for Harry and Meghan's wedding. Although Meghan paid for her own wedding dress. The taxpayers paid for the security.

Remember Harry and Meghan were working Royals.

The taxpayers paid for the renovation of Frogmore Cottage. A cost that Harry and Meghna paid back when they left the Royal Family.

The Civil List used to give a defined amount to each working Royal. But that was changed and all the money went to the heir to dole out.

The Queen and Charles appear to be remarkably stingy towards their own child and grandchild.

Yeah, foodbanks tend to look like welsh branches of Tesco... Can't tell the difference at all, they've really been investing in their tills

I'm losing the will to live with all these 'they're PR shots/doctored by the press/not date stamped so who knows when they were taken' contortions some people are going through to deny reality.

These are the same people who tie themselves in knots to explain Harrys mis-recollections.

I know. I sit here wondering what the hell goes on in their heads to insist over and over again that 2+2 really REALLY REALLY equals 5 and anyone who says otherwise is just a hater and probably a racist.

You have to admire the stamina though. This one’s kept going through nearly six hours of merciless piss taking.

@LadyVictoriaSponge That is at a foodbank.

What foodbank has a till in it? Give it up OP. Even if every single shot of Kate in a shop is fake (which they aren’t) it wouldn’t alter the facts - harry is extremely wealthy, tight and spoilt rotten.

Some way to go before she reaches the dizzy heights of the person who posted a picture of a man and claimed it was William, despite the fact that he was about a head shorter and looked nothing like him. Despite our constant assertion that the man was in fact Zara's ex boyfriend, she just kept on insisting. This is mild by comparison, but the evening is yet young!

How could Harry afford to buy such an expensive engagement ring 💍

Countdown2023 · 13/01/2023 17:29

He had a privileged upbringing and lifestyle. He is still wealthy compared to the majority of the population of U.K. and USA and still whining about money. He now has plenty more from Netflix and book publishers so there is no need to worry about him not being able to pay for his gas bill.

Let me play the worlds tiniest 🎻for him

PupInAPram · 13/01/2023 17:31

Are there 3 people in the marriage, Garry, Harry and Megs? Kinky sods!

Lucia574 · 13/01/2023 17:32

He’s got millions of pounds left to him by Diana and Queen Mother. Presumably all invested and increasing in value

Don't forget "Meghna"! She's part of the mix too!

Do Ikea make beds for 3?

Cath667 · 13/01/2023 17:34

There is absolutely no way that Meghan and Harry bought a second hand sofa. Did not happen. No-one could possibly believe that.

Ridemeginger · 13/01/2023 17:35

I think they may be missing up shop floor model with second hand.

Long story short he didn’t. It was created from a reworked diamond piece of his ma’s and he added another diamond from Botswana. Come to think of it he doesn’t say how he acquired the additional diamond so probably worth a punt it was gifted to him. He also got the gold for the wedding ring off a rare chuck of Welsh gold which had been gifted to Liz so that was for free too. Never mind Netflix if he started Harry’s no spend lifestyle blog he would be taking it in! Unfortunately every tip is get someone else to pay for it or turn up and tell your hosts they are entertaining you for two weeks, lucky sods. Now I think about it he doesn’t seem to pay for a holiday in the whole book. Even when they go to Ibiza Elton puts them up and he THEN has the temerity to scold him for publishing his memoir in the DM!!!!! The guy is a plonker, Elton should have said get tf out of my house now and find your own way home, no more free private jet for you!

Harry is a multi millionaire.
The fact he is pleading ''Poverty'' is absolutely laughable.
They look like they burn through money at a rate of knots..no sympathy from me, Sorry.

Lord I hate to get drawn into the insanity, but... that's not a foodbank.

LadyVictoriaSponge · 13/01/2023 17:40

I can believe he wouldn’t pay for an engagement ring, tight sod, it’s not even very nice, no wonder Meghan had to have it changed.

Very much so. Every penny they have earned will be squandered

Harry had Diana's engagement ring and gave it William for Kate.

babsanderson · 13/01/2023 17:43

@Blossomtoes Why did you not say that to those criticising Harry for getting a ring made out of gifted gold?

WinnieFosterReads · 13/01/2023 17:44

Did the H&M trolls get confused about who was starting the 'poor financially-poor Harry' thread today? There's another one exactly the same.
Is it a big thing in the US to feel sorry for rich people who have to pay for stuff? All this sycophancy towards millionaires is obscene. Maybe you can bulk buy his book OP. That will make up for his mean family only giving him tens of millions of pounds in inheritances, plus trusts and allowances.

Thank goodness Catherine has it..She will be a good custodian for future generations.
Meghan, had she had it would probably sell it if they ever divorced, or would mail it back to Harry in a jiffy bag.
