What happens if they run out of money to finance their lifestyle? It must be such a lot to just live the way they do. Will KC step in? Or will he step in but with conditions? It seems like they are on an increasingly desperate search for income sources. While pretending to be all about charity.

I really don't think any of his family will want to know. It's all his doing after all.

They could sell the house and buy somewhere smaller in a cheaper area. Dispense with some of the staff. Not sure how that’s pinnacle without losing a lot of face, but they’ll have to cut their cloth like the rest of us. You’d hope there’s still an investment income to live off.

It speaks volumes about the state of their marriage. She should be here supporting him (as idiotic as he is). Tomorrow is a big day for him with this ANL judgement. She could quietly support him

Sadly here was never any chance of public support for hhim from Meghan; the "opportunity" is there to benefit herself and Harry will come a very poor second if he figures at all

There's actually no need to comment on this at all, but if she's going to, what kind of woman goes on about how much her family love her with no suggestion of her own regard for them? Confused

I don’t think they “can”, in the sense that it would be utterly humiliating in front of the people they want to look good in front of. Wherever they go, financials like purchase price and taxes, non-financials like what type of neighborhood etc, would be easily ascertainable and known by all. At this point, they’d have to move abroad to escape humiliation/go for a different narrative. And for this couple, with these children, that’s going to mean divorce because Meghan doesn’t have what it takes to live outside the USA - even Canada at this point wouldn’t work for her unless she was hounded out of Montecito and HAD to leave.

I never read Spare - the snippets and commentary were more than enough for me. So I missed this: "So in Spare, Harry wrote about being confused as to why #PrinceWilliam wanted to spend so much time with the Middletons, was dismissive about it, and a little jealous."

How nasty, snobbish and small minded he is. And very, very foolish.

Full post:

"So in Spare, Harry wrote about being confused as to why #PrinceWilliam wanted to spend so much time with the Middletons, was dismissive about it, and a little jealous. William found a strong, loving family bond with them. They welcomed him and offered him true close family connection that he craved and was missing. He didn’t marry a woman that was estranged from her family and most of her friends. William didn’t marry a woman who didn’t value familial bonds and didn’t care about the importance of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins to children. Harry did. So while his brother has the love and support of both his wife’s family and his own, Harry is in California, isolated with his harpy wife and children he has little say over and who don’t know ANY family. Harrys kids are going to grow up resentful and angry, just like their father. Way to break the cycle, Harry. William did though."

And some lovely photos of William with Carol. They have a great relationship.

Why on earth would William not spend time with his in laws?? What a bizarre statement and quite hypocritical as he has said Doria is like his second mother 🙄 and was absent for most of her daughter's young life. H is an absolutely ridiculous man

bluegreygreen · 07/07/2026 10:27

Meghan has never openly supported any of Harry's court cases, to my recollection.

Meanwhile, Harry will not be happy with this morning's Telegraph story:

Very true! She was on the hunt for a rich man and an upgrade.
The late Queen suggested that she continued acting, which horrified her and Harry! So it was just a vehicle for self promotion.

Her acting career was done. Hence she wangled a meet with piers M as she assumed he had contacts.

Because where William is concerned, he is tied up with resentment and jealousy. He's so nasty about him in the book.

She could do so much more commercially though, like adverts (many brands would still sign her) and paid interviews. She doesn't, because she knows she's got to walk a fine line while they're still married.

I don’t see how doing adverts and paid interviews would be an issue for her marriage - PH wouldn’t care? If it’s the suggestion that RF would be dismissive - again why would they care - she has done much worse.

I think she thinks she is above that - but she took the $$$$ for a ‘fireside chat’ with some randoms on poonami beach in Sydney - so maybe she doesn’t even get the offers? Nothing came of years of WME representation.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 07/07/2026 10:29

I suspect she's savvy enough not to have signed any NDA relating to her marriage

She said as much herself in The Cut interview, @Passingthrough123:
"I've never had to sign anything that restricts me from talking", along with the remark that she could talk, but doesn't because she's "still healing"

Because they'd certainly have seen her coming I'd be surprised if the family didn't try to insist on an NDA, but then there's no saying she'd stick to it anyway

According to Neil Sean, the peevish prince wants to have a meeting with Shabana Mahmoud regarding his security !

And what is Shabana m going to do? She has enough on her plate.

He'll expect her to clear her schedule.

She wouldn't stick to it. But fortunately for the RF, people just won't take her word

even if shabana M has an empty schedule, does he really think she'll demand Ravec reverse their decision?

Isn't she likely to be out of a job in a few weeks anyway?

She can’t nobble RAVEC anyway - it’s an independent body that is supposed to make independent decisions based on intelligence available at that time. No sane politician would risk meddling in the process for an unpopular minor royal.

And yes, Burnham nears … although I think he’ll keep her in post for a while.
