You’re acting as if the money that Charles controls is his money that he earned. That’s not the case at all.

It’s money that’s been inherited over generations. The queen didn’t earn it. Charles didn’t earn it. It is earmarked for the family. Harry complaining about being cut off from his family trust is no more “mooching” than Charles or the queen are. It’s theirs by birth. Cutting off Harry’s access at a time when he had a young son and needed security was incredibly spiteful. His family turned their backs on him when he needed them the most. As is often said on this site: They showed him who they are and he believed them.

Judging by his success in the past year alone, he will never put himself in such a position again. Good for him. Good for his growing family.

That money is reserved for working members of the royal family. It's not theirs by birthright. Harry comes across incredibly entitled when he's tantruming about being denied "his" money. Paying for the security of a nonworking royal on ANOTHER CONTINENT? You must be joking.

It's almost as bad as Meghan bleating about Archie not "being titled the way other grandchildren are." What? Girl, did no one explain to you how the family works? There is no equal treatment across grandchildren. And there AREN'T any "other grandchildren", not really. Charles, the heir to the throne, has two children. There's William, who will be king. And there's Harry, who won't be king. The future king's children are princes. The children of someone who is not a future king are not. What part of it is not gettable? Or did they figure it would play better to the American audiences to imply that Archie was "stripped" of his title because of his mixed race origin?

The brilliant thing about your quote is that the money Charles' controls is from the Duchy of Cornwall. Did you know that Cornwall is the poorest county in the U.K. with the worst outcomes for income? They're so poor that the EU sends them humanitarian aid. All their money is siphoned off into $40 million a year to fund Charles, his four palaces, and the two palaces for W/K.

Over a quarter of children lived in poverty in Cornwall in 2016, and the county also has the one of the highest homelessness rates in the country.

You've convinced me. Against this new information, Prince Charles should DEFINITELY pay for lifelong security anywhere in the world for his nonworking royal son.

Or maybe Charles should follow his son’s example and get a real job?

Maybe his brother should too...

Maybe the monarchy should die with the queen. I predict much of the commonwealth will reject the monarchy after her reign ends. It’s only a matter of time before England does too.

Charles’ “real job” consists of his royal duties. That was Harry’s real job too before he left. He has no one to blame but himself for believing that he would or should continue to get the $$$ and benefits of the job without actually doing the job. That’s not how jobs work.

zWell that's not true. People leave and retire from jobs everyday and walk away with pensions, health care, lifetime insurance, severance packages, you name it. Harry has been working for the BRF since birth, plus two tours in Afghanistan, so he put in 30plus years of service.

Where do you live that all jobs have pensions and benefits even after you quit? Wouldn’t it be nice for workers if that were true? Sadly it’s not.

It works for me. Sorry you have shitty employment perks.

My benefits are good actually. But no one cares about your benefits or mine. That’s not at issue here. You live in a privileged bubble if you think everyone continues to receive income and benefits after they quit their job.

You’re not courageous enough to say those words verbatim to PP’s face.

I was kind of hoping Meghan and Harry would have been invited to the Oscars this year, maybe as presenters. Now that Meghan is back in Hollywood. I think they wanted to attend a few years ago when Meghan was pregnant with Archie.

The Oscars are on their way out.

“ About 9.85 million viewers tuned in, according to Variety, which is a more than 58% drop from last year’s all-time low of 23.6 million viewers. 2019’s ceremony garnered 29.6 million viewers. The ceremony landed a 1.9 rating for adults in the coveted 18 to 49 age demographic, a 64.2% drop from 2020. ”

Americans are tired of privileged people celebrating themselves.

I doubt it. 2020 was a pandemic year, not a good movie year. This year will be better. This summer, people will start going back to the movie theater.

Everybody in the room spat in your Coke”: black celebrities tell their first experience with racism

Names that come to mind?
Dorothy Dandridge
Ray Charles
Oprah Winfrey
Barack & Michelle Obama
Megan Markle

Remember when all the black peoples started talking to their friends about being racially profiled and how we just don’t talk about it?

It’s not up for debate — and sometimes honestly it just ain’t up for discussion either.

I’m white, and I would trade my position in life for those of the above contemporary individuals immediately. I’m sure bad, unfair things related to race have happened to them (just as bad unfair things have happened to all of us), but that sort of racism is enormously outweighed by their privilege.

Also, Crash sucked. Some of you have terrible judgment, and it shows.

You’re admittedly white. What makes you so sure that “that sort of racism is enormously outweigh per by their privilege”? I’m genuinely curious. You have Black family members that you’re close to? You attended an HBCU? You grew up in Black neighborhoods and attended majority Black schools?

You would immediately trade your white life right now for Dorothy Dandridge’s life and challenges? What about her life appeals to you?

Many people are having a tough time now with real-life problems like staying physically healthy, bringing in enough money to put food on the table and keeping a roof over their heads, to stomach these interviews and privileged pontificating.

Not in the numbers they used to and few will want to waste their precious free time on two hours of an awards show.

Re-read the post. Note the word “contemporary.” But yes I think in this day and age there are far worse hands to be dealt than being born non-white in the USA. Also there’s a ton of unfair discrimination people experience that isn’t race-based.

Also like....you do realize that a lot of those wealthy people listed in addition to continuing to experience racism prior to making it big? Like Ray Charles lost his vision because he didn’t have access to qualify health cafe. Oprah also had a terrible childhood that was influenced by opportunities she had being a POC. I’m not as familiar with the other people on the list but you can’t just ignore a lifetime of racial discrimination and say “well they’re rich now so any white personal would trade”

*also experienced racism prior to making it big

Yea and a lot of people of color experience those types of unfair discrimination as well in addition race-based discrimination.

Or did they figure it would play better to the American audiences to imply that Archie was "stripped" of his title because of his mixed race origin?

It’s not reserved for working royals. There are two different pots of money. The Queen for example has money as part of the sovereign grant and her own personal inheritance which she can do whatever she wants with it. Same with Charles and everyone else. That’s how William has given money to his ILs to purchase properties and how Andrew supported his daughters prior to their marriages (they both work but don’t make enough to live the lifestyle they were). Ultimately, it’s Charles decision if he wants to give them money or not but all of the things they have done to monetize their celebrity are pretty foreseeable so don’t really feel bad for the royals either. The money is a means of control.

Why do any posters think they should be able to dictate how the BRF spend their money? Quite frankly, it’s not your money. You don’t get to control how other people choose to spend their money. Are you guys this presumptuous and obnoxious irl? If the Queen or Charles don’t want to spend their money on a grown adult man who doesn’t want to pay for things himself, that’s their right.

Huh? I agreed with that. But if his goal is for them not to do embarrassing things for money then practically he needs to give him money. I don’t get the pearl clutching over them doing the Oprah interview when Prince Charles knows Harry has no money and no marketable skills.
