What's it matter to you if they do? They aren't taking money out of the public purse, they won't even be in the country most of the time.

 

I don't understand why people are still giving a **** over this. Rich kid and new wife move out of his nan's house and moves to Canada. Done. Finished.

All of their security, in the UK & overseas, is paid for by the taxpayer.

 

This will not change. Their progressive lifestyles will cost us dear.

As far as i was aware, security arrangements hadnt been confirmed yet. What should they do though instead? Would you be happy if they were  left insecure?  Are you happy paying for Andrew to be taken care of?

 

Forget they're actual people for a second, you're in total control of their lives and you get to tell them what to do.

 

Go.

I would confiscate the entire wealth and property of the Royals. All of their wealth and possessions belong to the people, which their ancestors stole. I would imprison the Royals while their financial affairs were closely examined. Their great wealth, privilege, enormous sense of entitlement combined with a complete lack of self awareness would mean that all of their rights under the law would be suspended.

 

Eventually, their fates would be decided and they would either be imprisoned for life or allowed to go into exile. A people's court would make the decision.

Ok, it seems odd that you’re giving such a hard to time to a couple who want to break away from the royal family.

They seem to want to break away from the Royal family, but not from all of the wealth and privileges associated with royalty itself.

 

Hence their global trademark application for the 'Sussex Royal' brand name covering Australia, Canada, the EU and US. It was filed in December with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).

 

They have also registered 'Sussex Royal the Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex'.

 

So they desire all of the fine trappings of royalty without any of its duties and responsibilities.

 

If Harry and Meghan really wanted to get away from royalty why not drop all of the titles, drop the word 'royal' and try to make it on their own two feet? WITHOUT the need to milk their Royal connections? Their £34 million fortune should keep them going for a few months.

You missed the bit where you get the trained attack dogs to gorge upon their entrails.

I wonder if Car Boot was a royal, would he be so keen to give up the title, influence, power and redistribute his wealth to those less fortunate?

 

What do you say Car Boot?

Nah - if Meghan Markle had been white, subservient and from minor British aristocracy the tabloids would have loved her.

I don’t think racism was to blame, interesting article here says the same=

What is a 'progressive lifestyle'? Did you just make that up?
