Okay, so what about an American woman with a goal to get to Hollywood? Of course, we belittle them for doing what has to be done, but vote men in for doing worse. So what are you so irritated at her for, if marrying a prince isn’t a big deal? |
DP - Meghan Markle had "made it" by the time she met Harry. Nobody gave a damn about her up until then. It's what we've seen with the two of them, especially Harry, that the public is irritated with. Harry, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, crying about how hard his life is. He's just no longer a sympathetic person. People felt sorry for the little boy trailing his mother's casket. But now he's just a moaning man child unhappy with his relative luck in life and its a giant turn-off to most people. |
And the ugly cousin got Frogmore. Only changes she’ll need is to remove Meghans overpriced Homegoods quality crap. |
Diana was killed through her own stupidity. Wills and Harry were left to Philip, Charles, and the Queen to raise as Diana went swanning about looking for the next man to fall for her limited charm. Telling that wealthy Europeans left her to men from the British colonies to do the dirty work of paying for her shrink bills and lifestyle. Harry did marry a woman very much like his mother. |
? How is this a gift? This is basically a landlord getting a tenant to pay to convert a commercial space to a residency. |
Well it was paid for out of the Sovereign Grant with the idea that they would be working royals. But when that plan changed and given that the cost of renovations was seen as extravagant it was decided they would repay it when they split. I thought that was part of the stepping back agreement. Had they stayed I don't think they would be paying for all of it. Some things would be covered like structural repairs, but the interior decorating they would have had to pay for themselves. |
Some clarification of the Frogmore repayment. They paid back the structural repairs that would have been covered if they stayed working royals. Sounds like they just wanted to be free and clear without anything hanging over their heads. So they repaid it out of goodwill.
https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a33942968/prince-harry-repays-frogmore-cottage-renovations/ The £2.4 million costs spent in 2018 covered the structural renovations needed to turn Windsor Estate’s Grade II-listed Frogmore Cottage back into a liveable family home, after it had previously been converted into staff apartments several decades ago. All interior refurbishments, including appliances and decorative elements, were already privately covered by the couple. |
As an American, in a mixed-race/faith marriage with a biracial daughter, I couldn't agree with the bolded more. I have no problem with H & M's marriage. However, I'm not sympathetic to them at all. They've made their bed now they can lie in it. Also, I've lived in several commonwealth countries and everyone I know thinks they're fools for running away to America. |
Forgot to add my spouse is an immigrant & naturalized citizen. |
Unfortunately, this is true. She didn’t wear a seatbelt, along with her boyfriend Dodi Fayed and the driver Henri Paul. The only person to survive the accident, her bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones, was wearing one. |
and the driver was drunk |
Wasn't Diana killed? |
Have you read his book? NO one was wearing a seatbelt. |
Did you? He said he doesn't remember the journey. It wasn't until an investigation later that said no one was wearing a seat belt. |
I think Meghan and Harry are winners. $100MM+ Netflix deal and the luxuries of a California lifestyle. Not stifled into silly and outdated royal traditions and constraints. They’re laughing all the way to the bank and the beach. They can relax and then re-engage with their passion projects whenever they want. Good for them. |
