George's exams

[everetting]

Kate is not going with william to Singapore as George has important exams. What exams would a 10 year old be sitting in November?
I know nothing about private school systems so hoping someone here does.

Mike and Zara live in Mark’s old house. I think Autumn has moved out now and gotten her own place nearby. That was what was said. Estate is huge though. I don’t think the houses are that near eachother. And there are other houses too it seems. Don’t know if she rents them out of workers have them or what.

The issue of security for royals is an interesting one.

I’m going to throw out my opinion. It’s not one I’ve heard before so I know it won’t be a popular one.

Charles and Diana decided to have their children. Neither William nor Harry had a choice in being born into this exploitative, damaging and high risk position. They should be granted security for life whether that’s through us or their billionaire father. You know, the father who has no issue in forking out £3m for his disgraced brother when his security was taken away.

I expect Kate and William to do the same for their children. George, Charlotte and Louise didn’t ask to be born into this pantomime of an existence. They should be afforded security for life even if they choose to leave the institution when they are older, which is a possibility. Their parents own Duchy etc so I would expect them to continue to pay for their children if they chose not to be working royals.

This all goes back to how the institution, press and the public treat royal children. There is something fundamentally very wrong with the current setup. I thought lessons would be learnt since Diana, William and Harry but clearly, it’s more of the same.

*pay for their children’s security.

Harry left ‘the firm’ , the perks attached to ‘the firm
’ stopped.

Thats the way the world works
it’s not difficult to understand.

Ok. Interesting that’s what you took from my post.

@MissElinorDashwood . I understand your point however H and M decided to walk away , exploit their royal connotations and launch a tirade of complaints about the family - including the one you think should hand over millions a year to them ?
They were offered the option of starting married life quietly , of Meghan continuing her acting career but they declined . Meghan herself said she wanted to hit the ground running .
When things didn’t work out the way they planned , they threw a hissy fit .
Harry is a multi millionaire and posters say that Meghan made millions before she married so why shouldn’t they pay for their chosen lifestyle ?

Harry left the family business, the perks stopped. That is reasonable. But evicting him from a house he was paying rent on and leaving the house empty. And refusing to give him a bed for one night.
These are just petty retaliation.
Obviously Harry will cope and it does tell him clearly his father doesn't give a shit about him.

You’ve ignored the fact that security was taken away before any of this even happened.

Security is no more a perk for the royal family than it is for Tony Blair. It is a necessity for some because of the positions they are in and the threats to their life, most certainly not a perk anyone would want. The royals are born into positions they cannot easily leave, as shown by the reactions to Harry and the security risks come from the public. This is not a perk. Its strange some think of it that way, and rather telling as to their attitudes towards the safety of people in public roles.

Should security for being born into the royal institution be a perk or a fundamental right?

I want to know for the George, Charlotte and Louise?

Lots of them have complained publicly about the family. Charles filmed interview was damning towards the Queen and Philip.
The real difference is that Harry and meghan are seen as deliberately trying to undermine the monarchy. Or at least not caring if they do.

Phillip's hospitality business is real, and has done other large events.

Can you give some examples?

He didn't spring from no-where to get the Jubilee contract. AFAIK none of the tendering has ever been made public, so we don't know how his company's bid compared to any others. All would have included profit for the firm.

The lunch wasn't put out to tender. Costs were allegedly 'compared' but that was it.

Peter Phillips' company was paid £750,000 for Queen's party - BBC News

The event raised less than half the amount for charity than it cost because charities couldn't justify the eye-watering costs of the tickets and were wary of how such extravagant expenditure might look to donors.

Peter Phillips charity party cost DOUBLE the amount raised | Royal | News | Express.co.uk

It was taken away after they relocated to N America which was after they announced they were stepping back . There is no way they could have taxpayer funded security while living private lives in another country !

Exactly my point @Iwantcakeeveryday thank you.

I want to know if the same will happen to George, Charlotte and Louise. Will they will be treated the same way as Harry and Archie if they choose to leave (or are driven out)?

Maybe make a note in our diaries to reconvene and discuss this in 30 years time ??

totally in the stratosphere of the making money out of your connections. The rest of the RFs' monetising is small fry in comparison.

Completely disagree

You know, the father who has no issue in forking out £3m for his disgraced brother when his security was taken away.

Charles chose to father his children and bring them into this kind of existence. He wasn’t naive. You know as well as I do he can afford to to pay for their security like he did for his brother. They burden wouldn’t be on the taxpayer.

The fact is @MissElinorDashwood , none of us know whether or not The King sends Harry money .

Thank you for pointing all this out. I hoped someone would. As I have linked it on here many a time, but it just gets ignored and lost.

I thought exactly that.
My mother used to say: "Well, you may just have to want"

And in weeks to come, that will be quoted as fact on threads.

I want to know now before I invest in them like I did with Diana, William and Harry.

What rights do they have? What are their terms of employment? The current iteration are already being used to make money for magazines, tabloids and yes, PR for the firm. Will the same happen to them after decades of being used/hounded in order to make money for everyone else?

The cost to the taxpayer of supporting a whole team of expat security staff is what seems hard to comprehend, the overheads of an expat team would probably triple or quadruple the cost of their security. I can see why that was not sustainable for either the taxpayer or for his father to cover the cost of.

Anyway, it seems that on some of their travels, other countries or organisations are covering the cost of their security, so it's not like they are paying out for some elite security team full time, they have their 'normal' security as per other celebrities and it is appears this is supplemented as and when their commercial / charity events deem it necessary.

As for the wonderful gesture of allowing Meghan to carry on her acting career... I just laugh out loud at that one. As if that would work !

Even parts of Suits had to be rewritten because of a sensitive word when she was just dating Harry 😂🤣

Harry was deemed not to be of need of it. So government provided security ceased. Andrew has no private protection, the estate does. He happens to live there. The others with exception of Wales family only have security on official events. Not personally day to day. Charlotte and Louis will similarly not have it when they get older in personal capacity. Harry probably would have lost it anyway in time. Tax payer shouldn’t pay for it. Whether his father wants to is his business. In terms of visiting. All he needed to do was let them know as place is empty…in good time. He was invited to stay with father. He could have come earlier and done that. Looks to me like no one is trying.
