The heir to the UK throne needs a few pounds????

.....according to the couple's own public statement they intend to "work to become financially independent". I guess doing whatever they do now does not pay well?
Kind of lost, here.

You're not lost. You're forgetting what insanely wealthy people think about money and how much is needed for them to live as they feel they must, which is different from even ordinary wealthy people. What doesn't pay well for them has nothing to do with the reality of your average rich person.

After the Queen comes Prince Charles, then his son Prince William and his son Prince George. Harry is way down the list. William's other two children are ahead of Harry.

Looks photoshopped - sorry.

Nah, she had a lot if she had a few hundred thousands, which means nothing. She was beginning a decent career, but with show biz, who knows? She wasn't Meryl Streep or anywhere near Angelina Jolie, the big buck earners.

She was a z list actress, in a show the vast majority of people had never heard of until she got hooked up with Harry, so there's no chance she had any kind of fortune .

Harry is only number 6 in line. The queen gives a salary only if they perform ''royal duties''. She can also give them an allowance if she wants to. Harry has plenty of money from Diana and will get more from Charles when he passes and also, Meghan was an actress, she must have some wealth. But, considering how they're used to a high style of living and now having a child, they'll need a LOT of money to live on.

and we've just been told that regardless how they mean to ''earn '' their own money ( incidentally there's doubtless going to be some charities getting set up by them very soon)... and even if they go to live in Canada or the USA, we the British Taxpayer will still have to pay for their protection & security!!

Absolutely you will, and that shows the extent of their immaturity in play acting being grown-ups.
 
According to this article, they didn't even tell the Queen what they intended to do

https://www.yahoo.com/news/prince-harry-meghan-step-back-senior-royals-213237109.html

"Currently, Harry and Meghan's costs are largely funded from Charles' private income from the heir to the throne's estates, while the police foots their security bill.

Former BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt told Channel 4 television that royals thinking they can earn money in a side career "has always ended in tears"."
 
They took out trademarks on all sorts of merchandising and media forms for the Sussex Royal name several weeks ago. She was big into merching with her blog before Harry. Thinking she's going for the same thing here but on a grand scale.
 
From statements I saw on the news this evening, from both Meghan and Harry, I think they are stepping down because of the stress the royal life is putting on Meghan. I know it would drive me nuts having a secretary telling me where I had to be each day, what I had to do and not only that having to get all dressed up and smile while I'm doing it. And she's a new mom, maybe she just wants to stay home sometimes in her jammies and play with the baby.

She dated him for how long? She had NO IDEA what she was getting into? I hardly think so.

Maybe she did know what she was getting herself into. Maybe she wanted to live the life awhile and then move to the states part time. I don't know what she thought or knew ahead of time. I know a lot of people spend 30 or 40 thousand on a nice wedding and get divorced in 5 or 10 years. I don't understand that one either.

I really do believe when people have stars in their eyes they probably can't imagine how the stress of the whole thing will play out.

I bet the Queen now thinks Diana was an angel compared to Meghan.

Much as HM will be thoroughly disappointed in Harry and Meghan,.. and no doubt the comparison between her Uncle Edward Vlll and his American bride will not have escaped her, the fact is that Meghan unlike Diana, was never expected to become Queen or Queen consort.. so it was really important that Diana was seen to be acting on behalf of the Royals at all times, and she did most of the time.

In truth Harry's behaviour will have upset his grandmother and his father, I'm not so sure that Meghan's behaviour will have come as a great surprise to them, it hasn't for the majority of the UK public...

What seems to be the feelings of the average British person about that? Not sure, but it would seem they wouldn't be too happy about Meghan's antics anyway. After all she married into a system. It didn't marry into her.

In all fairness, the British Press is the reason for their protection and security.
Daily Mail, etc., seem to follow them on a daily basis, covering every aspect of their lives ... No??

I don't think the US puts that much importance on their doings. They were here from mid-November to January, and hardly anything was said or written about them during that time.
 
Weird moment.

It's early in the morning, and I'm doing my usual....on the computer catching up on emails, forums, fb, groups etc., sipping my cup of coffee and watching the news and weather on TV.

I started reading this particular post about Harry and Meghan, scrolled through the first page, and as I was starting on the second the exact same story was reported on one of my local TV channel news!
 
prince Charles supports harry = with money from cornwall estates ..
royals look after their own believe me -but he will still have duties where ever he goes to live ,i dont know the whole story
as yet as to much press media is flying around ' but there is a uneasyness in the mornachy especially with the 2 brothers !

maybe a good thing if they gave up their royal duty now 'as all we can see is a very unhappy man--where as before he was a happy go lucky fella ... many brits think hes far to sensitive now as its all part and parcel of being a prince and a celeb ..

I think she's disappointed that she hasn't been accepted as she expected to. Prince Harry should have thought more carefully about his choice of bride. Being part of Hollywood royalty and being part of the British royal family are two entirely different things.

Where does that even come from? ... confusing her with Grace Kelly.
Grace Kelly was Hollywood Royalty when she married Prince Rainier
