A BBC announcer labeled the baby Archie a chimpanzee. Nobody should tolerate that sort of abuse no matter what their family obligations are.
It’s a society stuck in the 1950’s.

English press is utterly awful:

For all of the people that want them to move to Canada you can pay for their security because I sure do not want to. They want to be independent then they should pay for their own security. Oh do not forget the approx 3.4 million a year they get from Prince Charles, I wish I had a father that would give me that muck a year.
That’s Brit journalism for you. Once on their bad side, you have a long road back. It was a similar situation with Diana, particularly when she was with Dodi Fayed.
The $3.4 mil is contingent on them performing their Royal duties. Since they no longer on the Royal tit, that $ is gone. I was reading their net worth is 40mil pounds. I wouldn’t be surprised if they become totally self sufficient including their own security.
What does being 'financially independent' mean for Prince Harry and Megan?
According to the Sussexes website, 95% of their income comes from Prince Charles's income from the Duchy of Cornwall, a vast portfolio of property and financial investments, which brought in £21.6m last year.
Money from the Duchy - just over £5m in total in 2018-19 - pays for the public duties of Prince Harry and Meghan, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and some of their private costs.
It is understood the couple will continue to receive money from Harry's father under the new agreement, although it is unclear whether this will come from the Duchy, his personal wealth, or a combination of the two.
However, the pair will stop receiving money from the taxpayer-funded Sovereign Grant, which makes up the other 5% of their income.
This grant is paid from the government to the Royal Family to cover expenses for official duties and looking after royal palaces. It is worth a total of £82.4m this financial year and is funded by profits from the Crown Estate - commercial properties owned by the Crown.
This, and all the other terms of the arrangement, are thought to be up for review by Harry, Meghan and the senior royals in a year's time.
Additionally, the Duke and Duchess are to repay the £2.4m cost of renovating their home, Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, a bill initially footed by the UK taxpayer. They will also pay a "commercial rent" on the property.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II made a terrible mistake 15 years ago. Prince Charles had just married his chosen partner Camilla. The Queen should have resigned/retired/abdicated then. Prince Charles would have become King for awhile. He should now be turning that over to Prince William.
The royal idea of "monarch for life" has been around for centuries since when people lived to 50, not 90 or 100. The monarchy needs to modernize and it can. When Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte was born in 2015 The Queen right away changed the ascension rules so Charlotte wouldn't get passed over for a younger male.
Princes William and Harry have a gift for connecting with the people that other royals don't have. You know -- kind of handsome, military pilots, hot wives, commitment to public service, cute kids, there's more.
William should be fast-tracked. Better late than never.

they are looking at a house in west point grey in the neighborhood of $20M. yes loaded. charles sure. inheritance alone and the family billions. they don’t really “have to work”.
finally a perspective that gets this ordeal. they do not need money or jobs. they want a life for their kids away from constant hassles. if pm poster boy can surf snowboard hike the grind and hang out like he does most of the year, sans serious bearded look, then these two royal kids will fare just fine here. good for them. tax payer money? build the pipe line!!!
yeah, and Don the dumb is worth 10 billion :drama:
they aren't worth 88 billion
that figure is a guess at how much all the jewels and land ect.... that is part of the "Crown" account
which they couldn't touch the vast majority, it's basically the country that owns it
the queen just keeps passing it down
she gets some of the money from the land/rents, businesses, just like Chucky does, he's a millionaire, just like his kids
she gets a allowance from the government
she's only worth personally around 5-600 million
none of them need money, but they aren't billionaires
the "Crown" is worth billions, not the "Royals"
You only get chased if you run.
The tabloids only try for quotes or pictures if there's a market.
Celebrities created the papparazzi by trying to control every aspect of their publicity. By blocking access, they forced (some) media to use ever more drastic means of obtaining images. Ever wonder why some celebs are in the tabs ALL the time, and others you rarely see? Often it's their own PR flacks creating the frenzy.
True, but who cares if they are Billionaires or have "only" 500-600 Million.
The point is. Harry and Megan can afford their own security. Especially in this case, when it is all Megan's doing.

I don't know what his spending habits and cost to live are but I think he gets a decent allowance. Maybe he can become one of the paparazzi and fly a LA news chopper?
