The royal family

H and M - an American dynasty as an offshoot from the British Royal Family

Thinking long term about H and Me lives and their children's lives where is the funding going to come from and is there a serious risk of the funding drying up? I especially think of the children who I would expect would go to a private US school and ultimately will be US citizens perhaps pursuing US jobs. There is huge competition for celebrity status in the US and no nobility as such so how do they for in? Does the link to the RF quickly become an irrelevance ?

Andrew is relevant on these threads. the way he is treated by the RF compared to H&M is revelant.

Had H&M chosen to just step back as Senior Royals, but not do the tell alls and remained on amicable terms then they would still have grace & favour residence in the UK (likely within a Royal Estate so security would be already there) and Charles would have continued to fund his darling boy while they lived overseas.

Andrew at least has sense enough not to deliberately shit his bed by publicly lying and slagging off his family.

Absolutely, (with regards to H&M, the 'whatabout' one is irrelevant)

When they first left, branding experts were estimating they had the potential opportunity to become a billion $ brand . If they had dropped their titles and decided against going down the vengeance route, they probably could have built a valuable and credible brand over the years. They completely exposed themselves as a couple who were bitter and hateful.

Now, they just look pathetic and desperate, one doomed effort after another, ridiculed at every turn. Even her very sad post about losing her dog, has people scratching their head and questioning how authentic and bona fide it is.

I think they have a massive uphill battle to extricate themselves from the mess they made for themselves, if that is even possible..

I have read most of this thread and one thing that occurred to me is what would be H&M’s kids ‘normal’? Or their parents perception of it?
By this I mean Harry’s childhood obviously wasn’t a normal one and it doesn’t come across that Meghans was either. Growing up on tv/film sets isn’t a normal thing and you are probably exposed to things most young children wouldn’t be. So I wonder what their perception of ‘normal’ is.
Willians childhood also wasn’t normal but I think Kate’s was so they have the benefit of a precedent rather than an idealised idea of what life would be like. IYSWIM.

@coolmum123 Yes, definitely not normal by most people’s standards, but at least they did go to school and mixed with other children.

I really hope their children get that opportunity as well, surely other well known people in Hollywood let their children do this, I imagine that the schools there are very nice! 😂

A quick google suggests a selection of private schools in the area for around $40,000 per annum

Yes, they’ve been very stupid.

I'm sure Charles is still funding them on the quiet

MerryMaker · 08/01/2025 19:47

That is all that matters? Do not talk about THE FAMILY?
Rape sex trafficked teenagers, get involved with lo9ts of dodgy people, accept millions in cash in suitcases, openly support paedophiles, all fine.

I agree. I wouldn't be surprised if he is contributing to their security costs.

So we are back to talking about how Harry supported criminal gangs through his patronage of the drug dealing?

No - no one thinks that. Certainly no one on here has said that’s okay. We don’t know what’s said behind closed doors but Andrew has been removed from any working aspect of the monarchy.

He’s still housed by Charles on Crown property but that might be to keep an eye on him and who visits him (which I would do if I was Charles).

If Harry wanted to live in the UK I’m fairly sure he’d be provided with a place to live within the security of one of the Crown estates too.

Solanumdulcamara · 08/01/2025 20:26

To be fair, Charles apparently has been making quite a lot of effort to downgrade him to a smaller house, he has also removed funding and security.

No one stopped Andrew mixing with a Chinese spy or using a false name on a company application

And rapists via his stewardship of African Parks.
And physically assaulted his own security staff.

How daft to throw in the Chinese spy and Harry thing!
He'll be a regular visitor to Epstein's island next!

For finding out that Andrew used a false name on Company accounts of a dodgy company he set up you mean?!
Not that much of a twit obviously!

He didn't use a false name, he used a surname he was entitled to use as he is the Earl of Inverness, no different to Harry or William who can and have used Harry Wales or William Wales.

Graham Smith is a twit.

MerryMaker · 08/01/2025 21:07

They are being brought up in the US. There is zero reason for the kids to go to school or university in the UK

BustingBaoBun · 08/01/2025 21:10

It is false information. His name is not 'Andrew Inverness' 🤣

Agreed.
And those who think this is fine, can you tell us other occasions Andrew has used this name?
