Prince Harry is wrong - Camilla's son Tom Parker Bowles says

Prince Harry is wrong - Queen Camilla 'married for love': Tom Parker Bowles lambasts Duke of Sussex | Daily Mail Online

@Sudeko Yes indeed it is. You can see I take far less interest in the whole circus than many. 😂

Two adults have a difference of opinion about why their mother/stepmother married. So what.

yes and its obvious that they will both feel differently about it.

Don't know why people are trying to rewrite history.
Charles said MM must work because he had no money for her (despite his millions). Practically this means that H&M would have a long distance marriage - which everyone knows has a higher rate of ending.

I thought Charles was supposed to have said this because of the cost of her clothes. No re-wears, all top designers.
How much did the Engagement dress cost?

to be fair. she was hardly around long enough to re wear her clothes.

True. But I took it that Charles was trying to say, tactfully, that the RF family weren't so rich (or so willing?) to spend so much on one member on a regular basis. And freebies not allowed.

Wasn't Harry supposed to have said, "she can make her own clothes, and she doesn't eat much". What an idiot he is!

She was paying for her own clothes, as she is now. What did Charles know about how much her clothes cost. He surely would have expected to pay for her work clothes as he was doing for other working royals.

Set up a clothes budget, as he was doing for Harry and his intended wife, as well as he was doing for others. Don't see what's so complicated.

or so willing?

Sounds about right.

They have billions, so 'weren't so rich' does not ring true.

I find it hard to believe the rf can't afford it. seems like another snidey dig at M by KC.

Harry remarks were sarcasm. Charles is famously mean with everyone except himself.

Because Meghan already had fans and followers of her social media where she of course shared photos of herself and her life, there are quite a lot of pictures online showing her in clothes and accessories after their marriage, and then photos of the same items from her SM before she met Harry. She paid for a lot of her own things, that’s demonstrably true. When working for the family firm, like everyone she should have had a budget for those clothes. Initially every new member has to build up a working wardrobe, so a lot of money is spent in the first few years and then much of it will be reworn, have style changes made etc Kate initially spent a lot too. I have also seen via SM articles which cost each item she was wearing and then someone has done the actually cost to correct the tabloid article. So I would say again, if you rely solely on tabloids to conclude she spent a lot of Charles money on clothes, you’re going to be basing that on made-up or inaccurate gossip.

Honestly, I couldn't take anything Harry says about anything seriously. He's damaged and lives in a fantasy of his own making. He's shat on most of his friends and close family, as his wife has with her side. Another day another pile of pooh from Harry.

I don't know how he's going to come back from this when his current wife dumps him.

Goodness me... what an unhinged rant from you!

Go and have a lie down maybe 😂

Yes I will, thank you. I don't know what came over me. Coronation fever I expect.

Really?? Charles not rich enough you say.
He was rich enough to set up trust funds for Camillas adult children though

Funny that

There's a bit of a build up to it, that's for sure!

Harry comes across as a petulant, spoilt child.

I thought it was Harry asking for Meghan to have her own salary, in addition to his, and Charles saying that there’s no money for that. Whatever money Harry received as a working royal would have to cover their living expenses, apart from clothes, which Charles did pay for.

Harry did also have a trust fund of around £30 million, which would pay him at least a couple of hundred thousand pounds in income per year from profit.

If they are working royals they should receive money from Charles. Charles is given taxpayers money to distribute money for that purpose.

The problem with trying to work out what actually happened in situations like this is that the stuff that comes from the Sussex side in various formats is often vague, hinting or confusing because it's not really clear what they are trying to say. And the story often changes as well. And that boosts all this speculation. It's never clear if the conversations were at a specific time or if they were ever resolved.

Clearly, Charles was paying for both the Cambridge and Sussex households according to his accounts by the time they were married.

Maybe Harry was questioning the amount they were getting or going to get compared to the Cambridges. Maybe he was asking for a specific salary for Meghan and Charles was trying to explain that there would be a lump sum and it was up to Harry to work within his budget for his own family.

Who knows - all we know is that the end result was that Harry and Meghan were provided for when they were working royals.

They did receive money from Charles, but most likely one amount for William and Catherine and one amount for Harry and Meghan rather than four separate salaries.

Also for those criticizing Camilla for being at a party alongside Piers Morgan - here are both the York sisters having an intimate lunch with Piers Morgan and hiswife, the Blunts and others. Beatrice hugging and laughing with Piers Morgan outside. He's clearly part of their social circle and even with Eugenie who is supposed to be the closest to Harry.

@wordler the plot thickens!

No, I didn't say. That was what was said at the time. What constitutes "rich" depends entirely on the position of the speaker. I could live happily for several lifetimes on the money H inherited from his mother and grandmother. They think they're poor. No doubt there are families in third world countries who would be delighted with my (very modest) income.

And I would be very surprised if trust funds set up for Camilla's children would have been anywhere near the income of H&M would have had as working royals.

Meghan was a working Royal. She si entitled to financial support for this. I can imagine she wanted an amount for this. Not the incredible idea that her salary goes to her husband. It is 2023.
