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?

You are being unkind

You call it unkind, I call it having an opinion

That Is because you don’t like them but why is your opinion any better than anyone else’s? Not everyone is fixated on the couple and many see the royal family as ridiculous and toxic. Certainly the unhinged anger is starting to be called out more than it was.

There is nothing unhinged about having an opinion about their pair. You could also say slavish devotion to them is also unhinged

There are people here and on other SM who don’t want Andrews predatory behaviour or his misuse of his position discussed, They don’t want Sarah, Beatrice or Eugenie's questionable behaviour talked about. They don’t like discussion on Epstein and the RF, Williams lack of transparency over tax on the Duchy or racism in the RF etc. To deflect they have to talk about things to do with Harry and Meghan that haven’t happened and most likely won’t happen.

And your proof of this is? I’d say it’s entirely the opposite. The feeling in the uk is that Andrew should be charged. The same for Sarah and the two girls to lose their titles. Virgina should never have been paid off and the case brought to court. People are pig sick of the Yorks and I don’t see anyone defending their disgusting actions

Noodledog · 11/02/2026 12:31

@GoldDuster Interesting. Was Meghan aware of Andrew's links with Epstein? I haven't read Harry's book, what does he say about Andrew in it?

Benjithedog · 11/02/2026 12:32

GetThemFromTheBack · 11/02/2026 11:23

Not at all. Talk about them all you like. But accept that people will see pretending they’re going to go bankrupt as the desperate deflection tactic that it is.

To be fair unless you are their accountant you don’t know what shape their finances are in.

Benjithedog · 11/02/2026 12:33

GetThemFromTheBack · 11/02/2026 11:21

As members of the RF, they need to step up and make a stand. In their position, silence isn’t good enough. We won’t presume they think Andrew is bad, especially when members of tge family have covered up and paid off victims. They hide behind the not complaining and not explaining narrative but times have changed and on matters such as this, silence or some statement that says fuck all is not acceptable. If they think the way the majority of the public do over this, if they’re disgusted at Andrew’s behaviour, then they need to say so, or yes, people will think they’re still covering and don’t think it’s too bad at all.

I agree totally with this

Nothing unhinged about having an opinion, of course not. Plenty unhinged about suggesting their children are neglected, or non existent, or that gloves she was selling were “slutty”. To name but a few bizarre opinions…

It is coming off as unkind sorry to say. But I do hope you have recovered from your own bout with cancer.

I don’t know why some posters are pushing the narrative that the Sussexes are in financial dire straits . They are not .
They are raking it in

To even compare them to the free loading , Sarah Ferguson (whose source of wealth is questionable) is just ridiculous

Obviously, by normal standards they have, and always will have (with Harry having inherited from relatives, being bankrolled by King Charles and later no doubt inheriting a large amount from KC) an extremely high income. The question is whether that income will cover their outgoings. The house in Montecito must cost an absolute fortune to run.

But you could also argue there are plenty of “unhinged” comments from the fans of Megan and Harry. Both can be said of both sides.

On the subject of Andrew, what has Harry said about the situation with A and Epstein? It must be disturbing to discover a close relative sexually abused trafficked (very) young women.

Orangepate · 11/02/2026 12:50

Oh, if only this were the only thing I had to worry about…

It must also be very disturbing to have chosen a Godparent who is being sued for sexual assault

I don't think he has commented but Harry apparently can't stand his uncle Andy, anyway. It is alleged in 'Entitled' by A.Lownie that there was a bit of a physical altercation after Uncle Andy said something about Meghan (I can't remember what was said). It is alleged in the book the William dislikes Unc Andy, too.

At Eugenie's wedding, Andy MW is interviewed and put a little brag in about how there are more guests at his daughters wedding than there were at Meghan & Harry's.

So nothing about Andrew's sexual abuse of trafficked girls? I have to say I'm surprised, given how open with criticism Harry usually is.

Kate has had cancer? Give her a break.

So have vast numbers of people who still have to haul their arses to work every day.

This is true but they do not have to worry about the world scrutinizing their every detail.

BunnyLake · 11/02/2026 13:18

She’ll probably just keep doing red carpets and talk shows. If they still have their version of Celebrity Squares she could pop up on that. She’ll keep plodding away but it will all be very D list stuff. Harry will chill with his calming vapes in the garden, popping up now and then for a paid speaking gig.

FlatWhiteExtraHot · 11/02/2026 13:21

Pineneedlesincarpet · 11/02/2026 11:05

Two things can be true at once

Andrew can be bad
Harry and Meghan can be bad too
And we can discuss both as I think both are bad in their own special ways.

How on earth can you equate what H&M did, which at the end of the day only hurt their close family, to what AMW has done??

Hating H&M so much that you think they are on a level with paedos is beyond weird.

How many holidays have they been on this year already? They have months off 'work' where they are holed away in various palaces, only emerging to go on another foreign holiday, They have plenty of privacy.

You can have feeling about all these people. You don’t actually have to pick. It’s been very clear on this thread how people feel about Andrew and the consequences he, his ex wife and their daughters should face. You can also have an opinion on the Markles as well.

Ihateboris · 11/02/2026 13:25

Pineneedlesincarpet · 11/02/2026 11:21

What you are saying is that we should stop talking about Harry and Meghan because of Andrew.

I think we should talk about both bad apples. They are both bad.

I dont see much deflection actually. Everyone talks about both sets of people but for different reasons.

No idea re their finances btw and don't really care.

What have Harry and Meghan done that's comparable to what Andrew has done?

Thats like saying someone who burgled your house can't be criticised as they arent as bad as a murderer. Doesnt mean the burglar isn't bad too. Just for different reasons and degrees.

Anyway this thread is silly.
