The royal family

Prince Harry has just donated 1.1 million out of his own money to children in need

This is bigger than any donation from William or Charles to charity.

Megan has consistently rolled her sleeves up, she's literally turned up with food to feed the homeless on Christmas day and to feed and try and empower those forced into sex work.

William is funded directly or indirectly by us tax payers

The UK would make more money from tourism without a royal family.

Why are there daily hate posts on Harry? He's not costing us anything.

Looks a bit mean beside the £14m donated by William.

but where does Williams money come from?

@Sayitagainmyl you are very spot on

No, it’s a small number of small people who create multiple social media accounts for the purpose of writing vitriolic comments about the Sussexes, desperately trying to convince themselves and others that their views are widely held by others. When in fact they are not. It fills a void in what must be a very unfulfilling existence. Meanwhile, the subjects of their obsession continue to live their lives as they so please, with little care for those who despise them from outside their gated mansion. Why do you think these threads are confined to the royal family section? Because most MNrs can't stand it when the toxicity of these threads spreads out into the mainstream. When they do they are well and truly booted back to where they belong.

People don’t mind if they ‘live their lives as they please’. But they do mind when the couple are continuously leaking stories to the media, or outright giving controversial interviews and writing books on the very institution they’re apparently wanting to distance themselves from. I applauded their decision to leave, because it was obviously the right thing for them to do. Good luck to them. But stop making money off the back of the family they ‘escaped’ from.

It’s not hate, it’s just eye rolling that the fact someone thinks because he’s donated money to a cause, that it somehow negates what he’s done previously. He and his wife wanted to leave the circus to get privacy and normality. They were in a privileged enough position to upsticks and jump ship. That’s absolutely fine. But since then they’ve created more public drama than if they’d stayed here. Everything they do, they make the media aware of. Using the same machine they were so critical of, when citing poor media behaviour during and after his mother’s death. It’s not hate, just not getting why people are going into raptures because he’s donated a million out of his ill gotten gains.

You're very focused on people you are supposedly indifferent to.

William and Charles do donate they just don't publicise it like Harry. Believe me, everything he does is for a reason.

Nice to see a positive post about H and M.

I will never understand the blind, sycophantic love for the royal family (the late Queen aside), and the fanatical, one-sided hate for H and M.

I think it shows the toxic nature some of the peasant's have with the Royals. H&M are the devil incarnate because they rejected the role & therefore rejected them personally.

TheRealMagic · 12/09/2025 09:50

Dorosomethingbeautiful · 12/09/2025 08:13

@bapples1this hatred of H & M has become an obsession with some people. I don’t understand how people can hate people they barely know so much, I just can’t wrap my head around it. It’s so bizarre

What I don't understand is why the anti-Harry and Meghan people are always so pro-William and Kate, as if there has to be a good and bad side. Isn't it possible, and the evidence suggests likely, that they're all overprivileged arseholes?

bapples1 · 12/09/2025 10:01

Of course they all are but it's easy to come to that conclusion if you are not wedded to the idea of worshipping Royalty.
For those that are I think they see it as panto or their own real version of Eastenders so need villains & goodies.

It wouldn’t be hard to give more than William and Kate. Their idea of service and charity is attending art exhibitions and sporting events. Their inept work effective will be a wakeup call for many and hopefully, just hopefully, move this country one step closer to becoming a republic, ridding ourselves of these leeches. The Sussexes had the right idea by getting as far away as possible from that parasitic family. Anyone who honestly believes that they desperately want to return to the fold is deserving of the label ‘deranged’.

As I pointed out above, the Prince of Wales has had meetings this week with Spiral Skills and the Jac Lewis Foundation, both community organisations funded by their Royal Foundation.

The fact that things are not reported in the mainstream media doesn't mean they're not happening.

Not focused at all. I dont give them any thought unless theyre headline news or theres a comment on MN. I have an opinion on them, but otherwise not invested in them.

You know that's not the reason at all. Their popularity in the polls did not change significantly following their announcement they wanted to leave the RF duties and the UK. Most people understood how difficult it was for them to live in the RF bubble. Their popularity went down only following their interview with Oprah when they publicly slated the RF with half truths knowing the family had no recourse to rply. It seemed hypocritical to cause so much drama when they had said they wanted to leave due to privacy. Not happy with your family? Deal with it in private, not sell your family problems to the highest bidder.

JacknDiane · 12/09/2025 12:10

God, who cares what a rich spoilt white man from the most entitled family in the world does

BemusedAmerican · 12/09/2025 13:41

SynysterGates · 12/09/2025 09:36

but where does that money come from?

William's money comes from the Duchy of Cornwall. Charles gets income from the Duchy of Lancaster. There have been multiple threads about the sources of their income.

You just look weird particularly whilst claiming you have no interest 😆

so not their private money?

FitatFifty · 12/09/2025 16:23

@bapples1people were happy for them to ‘reject their roles’. They could have lived a semi private life and actually when they turned up would still be popular.
Instead the monetised being professional victims and wanted the U.K. to fund a lavish lifestyle still in the public eye.
The real turning point for me is how they are clearly using Invictus for their own means, private jets and designer clothes, they’ll destroy that charity.

I applauded their decision to leave, because it was obviously the right thing for them to do. Good luck to them. But stop making money off the back of the family they ‘escaped’ from.

First, it looks like the head of the family they left is ready to reconcile now, so I don’t think it’s up to anyone else to say they mind other than the people directly involved.

Second, I don’t think you can speak generally about people’s views on this situation. People hold all sorts of differing opinions outside of these specific boards.

Third, it is well known that the RF leaks stories. They also have tame journalists and so-called brown-nosing historians who drown the airways with establishment rhetoric and put the RF’s views across for them.

Fifth, Prince Charles also cooperated with a biography in which he complained about members of his family,

Sixth, Harry consistently said he didn’t write Spare to make money but to stop journalists digging up stories from his past so he laid it all out there good and bad and I don’t think it was an entirely bad thing to do. He certainly has been punished for it several times over.

Seven, I think it’s entirely possible that there are apologies to be made from both sides but unlike Harry, the RF rarely admit publically to being wrong or having made mistakes. We know from the Lownie book that there have been many cover ups over many years.

Bless him. The only member of the royal family with a backbone and a real sense of humility, kindness and justice.

I'm not speaking know behalf of everyone. Just the ones who think the same as i do. And i dont think any of us know what the recent meet up was about. Unless you're privy to something the rest of us aren't? Charles and Harry might have been reconciling. But equally they might not have been. Maybe Charles just wanted to tell Harry to stop behaving like a twat. Who knows...But as for your thoughts about the Royal Family speaking out publicly. Of course they don't. Nor should they. Best to keep a dignified silence and not to stoop to the level of others by getting into a public bun fight....

Vitriolinsanity · 12/09/2025 19:07

Nothing is as vulgar as telling people about your gift to charity.

pilates · 12/09/2025 19:28

Why the need to broadcast it?

I know he’s deeply unpopular but that doesn’t make me think any differently of him.

janehopper · 12/09/2025 20:06

He's on a charm offensive and he can be quite charming when he wants to be. I wonder what the end game is, but it seems to me he's angling for back in in some capacity.
