Harry had little access to money

[babsanderson]

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.

Exactly.

You cannot compare Anne getting Gatcombe park as a Wedding Gift to Harry.
Anne was DD of HMQ and worked and supported HMQ from when she was just 18.
HMQ also had a change of heart after the Yorks sold their wedding house.
What did Ed and Sophie get as a wedding present from HMQ?

What about the other DGC, the York girls and Zara, or Peter none of them were given big stately homes.

Didn't he come up with some nonsense about just because he remembers something differently to how it happened it doesn't mean its not true, it's just his truth.

Wonder if Megs took the sofa with them when they moved?

So it seems. He’s in it here. This piece is only eight years old. How things have changed.

@Tripofalifetime343 have you forgotten that they were offered the best apartment at KP? The Prince & Princess of Kent were being kicked out of it for him and Meghan. After accepting it, Harry & Meghan changed their minds at which point they were given Frogmore Cottage (chosen thoughtfully by the Queen to meet their requirements, including privacy) and by his own account (in his book) they both "loved" it.

@BigFatLiar reminds me of trump and his alternative facts 😂

find it a bit worrying how him and trump want to ‘control the narrative’ and their obsession with controlling the press.

Dumped, like the husband dumped by fed ex and the beloved dog dumped in Canada

Hang on, Harry complained he's "not a normal person because he doesn't own his own car"?!

I don't own a car either. I didn't realise it was a benchmark for normality ( altho I'd be very wary of accepting PH's definition of 'normal). And he was driving A car in 2021

Yes but he did at first assume he was getting the grand country frogmore house, liz had to correct him and that’s even by his own account. He expected a mansion

That is at a foodbank. , what are they doing there 🥹?

Harry : we had no money . I shopped at TK Maxx and bought ikea and second hand sofa.
W&K : hold our beer, we use foodbanks,

According to the emails Jason Knauf gave to the court, Apartment 1 wouldn't be ready until 2021 and they needed space for their growing family so the queen offered Windsor. Which suggests A1 was on the cards until then

😂😂😂

If he's anything like the rest of the family, he's probably a tightwad. But I think the person that suggested this was mostly about who he compared himself to is spot on.

His family (at this time in question, specifically his grandmother and father) are eye wateringly wealthy. Harry didn't, and doesn't, have as much money as some of his friends. Life in the royal family at his rank is very comfortable but it's not fairy tale luxurious outside of the public eye. He can't easily have the kind of independence most of us take for granted, and he doesn't get as much in return as some people might think. And most importantly, the person who he will naturally compare himself most to, William, always seems to get more by rank and by luck.

As for Charles cutting him off. Most of me thinks he's being ridiculous given that he and his wife are both multimillionaires. But I can see that if you're used to having £2milllion plus per year in expenses and a free house, you'd genuinely worry about how to replace that kind of income. Even when the most sensible and obvious answer is to spend significantly less.

Tbf driving does not equal owning a car. I imagine that’s what Harold will say anyway. He had free access to loads of top of the range cars, still not enough

Didn't Harold just say that the RF isn't racist???!

That's true! 🤣

Also, I don’t think Meghan is a gold digger, not seen the threads where she is called that.

However the pedantic in me has to point out that her paying for token items isn’t evidence of anything. Even the tinder swindler paid for everything initially (said v much tongue in cheek!)

He had enough money for drink drugs and cigarettes not to mention a nazi uniform

He had free food. Free housing. Free travel albeit with a work schedule built in. Free cars and travel. Free security. An allowance (true we don't know how much). Did he also have access to his inheritances post marriage?

Hope Harry hasn’t seen this, he’ll have a conniption.

Apologies if this has been mentioned, but perhaps Harry, Meghan and Garry are in a thrupple relationship. I sincerely hope there's no footage if it's true though.

He had access to at least part of the capital sum before his wedding (to which he contributed NADA) and the benefit of around a half a million quid a year paid to him for the interest earned on the sum.

Ha ha ha ha he is gonna have to do some heavy duty tapping tonight to calm down from this!

Yep! Here it is!

I thought Garry is Harry's step son...
🤷🏻‍♀️ anything is possible.

‘…so-called objective facts…’ could be the mist Trumpian of all post Trump phrases. Guy is a moron.
