[onehorserace]

Wine, apricot spread and honey. I think we've had all the suggestions for names already ?

Or as the RF call it according to one biography - the office on the roundabout.

I think BP is actually the least prestigious address (relatively speaking I mean 😂) As far as I have read none of them want to live there .

Seems a bit tasteless and premature if his Dad is healthy? Dont recall PC chirping on about plans when QE2 was in her 70s - unless he has plans to step back due to failing health.

Agree - wealthy families would have been trust funded every asset they could to keep in out of the realms of any divorce settlement.

Might well be MM supporting PH if As Ever takes off......

Charles and his advisers aren’t stupid, Meghan won’t be getting a sniff of those millions.

Nor of anything the late Queen left. In fact I'd be surprised if H got a massive inheritance to play around with. Capital securely tied up with him just getting the interest, I'd think.

You're right. I wonder if the difference is that Charles has shown enthusiasm for the Royal role and was thought to be frustrated at the long wait for the top job? William, on the other hand, has often been labelled 'the reluctant royal'.

Regarding Harry's inheritance, it doesn't look like Andrew, Anne and Edward inherited several hundred million between them (although maybe they did) so I don't know why Harry would get that much. And I thought everything was left to the heir to avoid tax and then the heir is supposed to carry out the late monarch's wishes. I could see Charles and William discussing and agreeing it between themselves, deciding how much to give Harry, and dishing out the money over time and with constraints (A & L's education, health care and housing, perhaps a contribution to security, etc).

Her jam and honey won’t keep H in syrups

I'm not keen on believing sources that state the obvious. William gains nothing with the Archie and Lilibet story. I doubt anyone would believe he'd be open to two individuals that he doesn't know being his representatives. It's also a story that would not warrant a warning or even a comment. Charles is richer than the Queen was, as he had decades as the Prince of Wales to create his own wealth before the addition of the Queens Wealth.

Hilarious!! We used to have a joke name for Prince Edward when he became follically challenged very early and called him "Edward the Syrup"

I thought they avoid inheritance tax by it ALL passing to one heir. That heir can then share it out, or not.
So inheritance from non-monarchs is ok (kind of taxed a bit) eg the Queen Mother, Diana.
Inheritance from the late Queen: None.

The wealth is passed and kept in the line of succession to ensure the wider family stay loyal as well as the tax benefits. As that ship has sailed with Harry it's difficult to know what Charles will do. I could imagine Charles being reluctant to provide Harry the means to undermine the thing he spent his life waiting for.

It’s obvious to most people apart from Harry it seems, he clearly believes it or he wouldn’t have said it.

He can want all he likes… doesn’t mean he will get tho.

It's his emotional truth

My husband cried. As did I. It was just so bloody awful. Unreal. I didn’t process it for days and at the time I was the mother of 5 children.

As my late granny used to say ‘wanting doesn’t get’. Harry may want his dcs to be working royals. Doesn’t mean it will happen. Revenge is a dish best served cold. Then Harry may actually see the damage he’s caused.

Just as it is very important for Harry and Meghan to cling on to royal status, titles and privilege, it seems that they are actively preparing their children for royal lives. It's a plan to keep themselves royal adjacent, but I don't think it'll work.

If it's true that Harry and Meghan want their children to be working royals then they are shit parents, especially after all the fuss they made about how awful it was being in the royal family, the trauma Harry suffered from the flashing cameras, the men in grey suits, the stifling tradition and atmosphere, the back stabbing, the boredom, the lack of freedom, the duty etc etc. Yup, shit parents.

I hope that A and L will be okay... It will be strange growing up with the titles but none of the pomp and ceremony. Their cousin's in the UK will have very different lives. Imagine your Grandad is the King but you've hardly met him.

It may be hard for them to feel that they fit in anywhere - they'l have no relationships in the UK and they'll be in California which won't really recognise their titles. I suppose we all grow up with our parents narrative but their situation is very complex.

Yet Meghan was very disparaging about her own wedding. The two of them are such massive massive hypocrites.

The best thing for them would probably be to work hard at school , go to University and find jobs in their own field of interest. Live normal lives and forget about their Royal connections. Charles will be dead by then and William will not have a relationship with them so they’d be better focusing on their US lives and learn to live without drama.

Growing up so close to LA, and with the people their friends have surrounded themselves with, I think they will be the typical celebrity nepo offspring, Meghan is already pushing her three year old daughter in that direction.

It's why Harry is so hurt, he honestly believed he could earn the money and then have another Sandringham to sort it out. He never planned or even considered that his children would be estranged by his actions. He believed his own hype of importance and I can't see how is mental health has not been impacted. but his inability to apologise or shut up means he's as much of a loose canon now as he was then.

I just don't see how A and L could be working royals . They would have no idea of what it entails, most of the royals have grown up watching how their parents behave , attending royal events and sort of learn the job as they grow up. You can't just thrust 2 young adults into being a working royal with no 'training' .

Does he have any more court cases pending ?
