When the money stops flowing in? They are finished as a brand, MM has nothing original to offer and is tainted with the toxicity that has surrounded them. She personally has ‘bullying’ allegations and high staff turnover as well as her blatant dishonesty. There is evidence that they are no good at making podcasts / documentaries etc so no big income there. There is increasing ‘interest’ from US authorities into their financial dealings … what next? Surely KC3 won’t fund them, so how will they keep going?

What a spiteful post, I hope they have wonderful lives away from the rotton RF. I hear they are really good to work for, don't believe the rubbish you read in the Mail

Vanity Fair and the Hollywood Reporter article would disagree?

I think Charles has more important matters to attend to than removing his son from the line of succession.

He’s got a few minutes to sign papers prepared by his office I’m sure.
The fact that the RF are always extremely busy is laughable - try telling that to a couple who work 40+ hours a week each, often on relatively poor pay and then try to bring up their family in their spare time - with no outside help/staff, AND if they are seriously ill they will just have to get on with it. I know what I’d rather do any day of the week.

Sorry but I am going to correct you . They didn’t want to leave . Their own words

You keep linking this repeatedly . I really don't need to read it again

Personally I think they have a point.

Also , Harry is desperate to reconcile . Again , his own words .

I’m sure he would like to be on more positive terms with certain members of the family but, right now, who wants to be anywhere near the Royal Family. The AMW scandal is a disaster for them. Being estranged is a better place to be than having to make excuses for a family who, at best are greedy, at worst are corrupt.

I suspect the rest of them will be popping up in the media doing good works or just showing their faces at Parkruns as the PR machine tries to promote their image. We will hear more about William and Catherine in the coming weeks than we have for years!

It’s too late. The damage is done and I’m waiting for more to come out if the Royals’ solicitors don’t block it (as they most likely will).

Also let’s not forget, Harry has a 3 book deal and only delivered 1 book.

Can’t wait for that 🤣 - let’s hope we get the Spanish/English translation first. That was hilarious and got me through Covid.

It’s interesting that any criticism of, or even comment about, M&H is framed as ‘hate’. I don’t hate them, I don’t know them. I have an opinion about them, which was initially highly favorable and has become less so as events have unfolded. Principally, for me, because of the dishonesty. I value truth very highly and I disliked M’s blatant lies on Oprah, especially because they were intended to accuse all the people in the Uk of racism. Im
entitled to that opinion. Others feel that spin and ‘Meghan truth’ is more important and that she was just trying to make her own way. They are entitled to that opinion.
I am a historian and fwiw my take is that the star is falling, many more people will be prepared to speak out about their experiences of working with or for M&H. It will not be pretty, and I suspect this will
end badly at least for H and those poor kids.

Yes, Meagain parasocials do not like her not being praised 😉

They receive nothing but negative press these days, for years now in fact, and they are widely loathed. Not sure if that's entirely fair, they're pathetic, liars, ungrateful grifters and rather irritating but there are worse people out there.

I thnk it's their absolute lack of any sense of self awareness that irritates many.

I saw through them long, long ago and have found their self made downfall fairly satisfying on the odd occasion it pops up on algo.

I suppose they will continue to limp alone, they're infamous more than famous, but you can milk that for money all the same.

You could probably say the same about the rest of the RF too - rotten from the top down.

King Charles seems to be an honest man and one with a social conscience. The Prince's Trust has helped many unemployed youths to find a path in life to happiness and self-fulfilment. He has espoused ecological and architectural causes which the general public are in general sympathy with - e.g. that most modern architecture consists of monstrous carbuncles.
The Wessexes - if one forgets the attempt to run a publicity firm - are well-behaved and useful. The Prince and Princess of Wales appear moral, with a stable loving family, and do their diplomatic duty well and with a good grace, as well as charity work.
Charles' grandmother, Princess Alice of Battenburg, sheltered Jews during WWII - hardly something of which to be ashamed in one's family. His father served as a naval officer in WWII, Charles served as an officer as well, and both of his sons served in the armed forces and William worked as a rescue helicopter pilot.
Princess Ann has lived a blameless life. You might not like her forthright manner and I doubt she suffers fools gladly, but no scandal attaches to her. Her children are equally hard-working.
Or would you rather have President Blair, dipping his fingers into politics constantly, or President Corbyn, President Cameron and Farage? They'd cost more, as well since the Crown Estate (which is the property of the sovereign) pays for the RF's upkeep and the taxpayer only pays for the security of the monarch and his direct heirs (and for security for other members of the RF when on an official duty, not otherwise). Currently KCIII pays out of his own income for his unpleasant brother Andrew to live on the Sandringham estate, in a farmhouse that belongs to KCIII.
Andrew, a typical Hanoverian, is a bad apple, a black sheep. All families have them. He appears to have been his mother's favoured son, which was unfortunate. He is clearly not KCIII's favourite brother and is suffering the consequences. If he lives into the reign of King William V I doubt he'll even have the farmhouse.

Considering they apparently have hundreds of millions in the bank they should really treat themselves to a new kitchen, the whole house is so out of date and late nineties in design, these uber rich celebs tear down these McMansions and rebuild like Adele has recently done with Stallone’s old house, wonder why these two are still living with the previous owners choices seeing as they are now apparently uber uber wealthy, it’s hardly a house of historical interest or of any architectural merit.

Apparently she has genuinely sold a lot of jam and made a lot of money from it...

Maybe this is another case of recollections may vary.

They are extremely wealthy, billionaires. They don't have to do anything, just live off investments.

However they will no doubt try a few more things. Good luck to them.

IAmATorturedPoet · 12/02/2026 00:42

They definitely aren’t billionaires.

Yes their super yachts and private jets are a dead giveaway, billionaires! 😂

Harry is used to his family paying for house renovations. God forbid any of them should dip into their own pockets to fund such things. Meghan probably sees that as her right too. ‘Get your father to pay for it Harry, it’s your due’.

Bless. I hope she has. Though I thought Americans called it jelly. Jam is more of a British word. I really think she would have more success if she built a business that didn’t involve trying to be someone she’s not. She’s clearly not a domestic goddess with a long history of growing fruit and making jam. Plus the days of Martha Stewart levels of success for polished programming are long gone. People have access to much more authentic content on YouTube.

They usually call it jelly, but there's an episode of Friends where Monica's making "jam" and Joey's stuffing himself with it... Not sure what the difference is.

Noodles1234 · 12/02/2026 06:22

I think MM has a fair bit of grit to keep plugging away at new projects, whether they will glean enough financially from them to fund their lifestyle who knows, although that’s what charity Foundations apparently help with (apparently that’s why rich people start them).
I wonder if that’s why Harry is trying to get his UK RAVEC Security reinacted, as it doesn’t just cover UK it’s overseas too - it’s a huge cost to them.

I think they will find a way somehow, I think it may become stressful for them in their long term relationship.

Personally I don’t blame them for leaving, in reality it cannot have been easy. Harry is no Princess Anne who is quite remarkable and I don’t think they have the same mindset strength as her which is a shame. If they did I think they would have been very good and popular globally. It’s just the way Harry and MM went about it, it was all wrong and sometimes cruel. They would have been far better off being positive and not slagging everyone off especially when financially motivated especially at tender times for the Queen and her husband.

Proof or just a feeling? 😆

milveycrohn · 12/02/2026 07:21

Taking a step back from the Royal Family is fine. I hope they eventually make a success of their business ventures.
If their income declines then they will have a few options, such as Meghan's turn to write HER book, but whether it will get as much money from potential publishers is doubtful. They would want some more juicy titbits not already written about in 'Spare'. Or a second book from Harry, maybe.
If money becomes tight, they could downsize to a smaller and more manageable residence, though I am sure they would consider this a public failure, and think they would do the first option.
Would Harry (with or without Meghan) return to the Royal Family?
Probably not. Theyve made it clear they are living their best life.
If Harry were to return, I do not think he would return to being a 'working royal'. That is, he would not be on the balcony or represent the Government in any way (state banquets, etc).
He might be invited to family events, such as summer at Balmoral (but I think that already happened, at least at first, anyway).
Would the family, and especially William, ever trust either Harry or Meghan again? I very much doubt it, and with that in mind, I think any family events are likely to be thin on the ground.

YourBreezyPanda · 12/02/2026 07:33

I’m not sure what folks are waiting with bated breaths for tbh they will continue to live their lives as they have been the past six years since they left.

Baital · 12/02/2026 08:00

I expect they will have to downsize, like anyone living above their means.

I don't expect the money will 'run out' in the way it would for those of us without trust funds - there will be plenty for a very comfortable lifestyle, but not their current lifestyle.
