Why would Harry need a mortgage?

IwasToldThereWouldBeCake · 25/01/2023 21:23

The Spare (unusual bits) thread is closed.... But I just wanted to add:

Harry claims to have successfully procured a mortgage. Is this feasible given he wasn't working at the time. Would he need one, given his inheritance from Diana and the deals he was brokering with Netflix and his book.

I thought this must be a farce..... Trying to get down with the average man with usual responsibilities.... I just don't think its true.

I laughed out loud a lot while reading the book, but I also thought Harry s recollections reminded me of the skewed life views a lot of heavy weed smokers seem to have. The angry, resentful, hostile shut downs of anyone that doesn't agree with their world view. The preference for projecting messages from animals and from hearing messages from the universe, rather than accepting feedback from humans seems self indulgent.

The endless projection and victim hood and benchmarking, are all traits I ve come across from spoilt, weed smoking, angry man babies.

I thought the book was written with a popularity checklist in mind; the average family have to pay mortgages, let's pretend I do too. People like Friends, so do I, I'm a regular guy. I m down with the peeps with my drug dabbling and heavy drinking.... I occasionally pee myself, and goof around with the young and old.

I do hope that Harry s life becomes happier and healthier. I hope he will be invited to the coronation and that he can grow from all of the honest reviews of the book. It's finally time for him to grow up.

What a crock of shit. I’m pretty happy to be sitting in a house worth £1.5m that I own outright with no mortgage.

What a dick.😂

Really wealthy people do not borrow via mortgages unless their friends own/run the bank in question

😂😂😂

The more time I spend on here, I realise there’s an awful lot of people that are committed to their stupidity.

😆So do you have untold millions to justify your arrogance?

They do this in relation to other properties they have purchased, never against their main family home where their young family lives unless they are---stupid. 😃

I’d love to pick the brains of a HNW financial planner. I’d imagine there’d be some very creative financing and tax options for HNW individuals at that level.

Even an offset mortgage with say 50 million liquid cash in the bank, would likely accrue you enough income from interest alone to not only pay down the mortgage but also cover your your day to day living expenses.

You really are all talk 😂

How do you know where anybody else works or what they are qualified to speak about?
Your proof of knowledge would be if you could show that you have made millions of pounds as another poster has in the discussion. You don't sound like you are very wealthy. Therefore, I am right in my judgment of you.

BadgerB · Today 11:451
Yes, he was. And he was in the front seat. Still living in Wales, I think
SpookyBlackCat · Today 12:01
He had extensive injuries and can't remember the crash. I believe an inquiry found that no one in the car was wearing a seat belt, but I have read reports that he may have put one on just before the crash. if you look at the paparazzi pictures taken that night, he wasn't wearing one.

Hmm....I wonder if "can't remember" is ploy to avoid questioning

Yesthatismychildsigh · 26/01/2023 13:10

I think he has a mortgage because most of his money is in trust, and an allowance is only dished out maybe annually.

SpaceRaiders · 26/01/2023 13:13

@vidapur Show me where in any one of my posts where I claimed to be a millionaire? My life is thankfully too full to waste my time spreading misinformation.

To the trolls: enjoy your bitterness, may it consume you all very, very slowly. I’m out!😄

He suffered very serious head injuries: "His face was flattened, with numerous bones broken or crushed, and was reconstructed afterwards"

Also, investigations did show that none of the car occupants were wearing seat belts.

It's quite normal in the US to have a mortgage, many celebrities do, even Adele and Beyonce.

This is true. Many people in the US get a mortgage even though they could pay cash. And until recently, interest rates were really low, which make it even more attractive.

I don't think his money is in a trust. He is an adult now.

I think the issue was more that he didn't want to use his inheritance rather than couldn't use it.

That's a whole rabbit hole of conspiracy theory. Al Fayed's father stated exactly this. A lot of people believe that Diana was killed and it was covered up. I'm not convinced though. There are many easier ways to kill a person without involving a foreign government in front of a horde of people with cameras.

Plenty of wealthy adults have their wealth in trusts.

Diana was not at risk walking through the landmine area. The path had been checked before she walked through. You really think a charity would want Diana blown up in front of lots of reporters? It was a photo opportunity to highlight the issue.

The security guy was wearing a seatbelt. He was in the front of the vehicle and the only one who survived.

OutForBreakfast · 29/01/2023 14:46

He was not wearing a seatbelt. That was initially reported in the press. The inquest statement was he was not wearing a seatbelt.

ajandjjmum · 29/01/2023 18:29

According to the BBC at the time 'Trevor Rees-Jones survived, but the head injuries he sustained wiped his memories of the accident. He was the only person in the car wearing a seat belt.' This has always stuck with me.

However I was just surprised to read so many conflicting reports, where certainly many say he was not wearing a seatbelt @OutForBreakfast. Can't seem to find a conclusion though.

SpookyBlackCat · 29/01/2023 22:11

Yes, there were initial reports that the bodyguard was wearing a seat belt. I think this made sense to people that the reason only he survived was because he was the only one wearing a seat belt, but there was a very thorough inquiry done to review the circumstances of Diana's death and they stated that no seat belts were worn.

Key Points

  1. Seat Belts
French Dossier D5675-D5680 The French investigators examined the seat belt systems and determined that none were being worn at the time of the crash apart from the front right seat belt. The suggestion was made that Trevor Rees-Jones may have been in the process of putting on his seat belt at the moment of impact. The report did not indicate that the seat belt systems were examined to ascertain whether they were in a serviceable condition. Operation Paget’s view is that none of the seat belts were being worn at the time of the impact, including that of Trevor Rees-Jones. From the nature of marks found on his seat belt, it is considered unlikely that he was even in the process of attempting to put it on at all at the time of the crash. David Price’s examination of the seat belts showed that they were in a good operational condition with the exception of the rear right seat belt, which was found to be jammed in the retracted position because part of the internal mechanism had become displaced. In relation to this finding, the evidence strongly supports this displacement occurring after the collision. This was confirmed by direct contact with the French expert, Serge Moreau. He found it to be in proper working order at the time of his examination in October 1998. He also confirmed that all the seat belts were in a serviceable condition after the crash.
