Meghan Markle and Prince Harry News and Updates Part 3

[Anonymous]

The name he used on the birth certificate is his legal name. People are getting their panties seriously twisted over something that is a complete non-issue.

I don't think so. I think he used His Royal Highness as his last name. He is not supposed to use that title anymore.

Bbbbbuh he was born into genetic pain and he cannot escape it in a representative democracy.

For the most part, I avoid this thread. I think there are a lot of bored, bitter women on here who would've hated Meghan Markle no matter what she did, said, wore etc.

However, I am enjoying that FINALLY people are starting to cast some shade on Harry. It's always puzzled me why MM gets blamed for so much of what has gone on with them, rather than the man who actually had all the power in their relationship. I don't understand why women especially seem to find it so much easier to blame the "evil, scheming woman" whenever bad things happen in relationships.

Harry is a petulant child.

No clue why anyone admires him.

Exactly! Defending the indefensible. Really, we the plebes are supposed to feel sorry that your 2 million pound allowance isn't enough for your greedy woke ambitions? Boo f’in hoo.

+1. Entitled and spoiled. None of us are owed our parents’ money, folks.

Harry has plenty of his own money from Diana and the Queen Mother. Tens of millions. Why is he whining about Charles cutting him off?

Because the money is a painful symbol of his father's disregard for him, his wife and his children?

My grandparents wrote my father and his children (me and two brothers) out of their wills. We absolutely don't need their money. We are all very successful on our own. It was still painful, because it showed how little my grandparents thought of my father and by extension, me and my brothers.

Charles didn't write him out of his will. He stopped paying his salary after giving him a rather generous severance. We'll find out about his will when he dies, won't we.

Is your employer in the habit of continuing to pay your salary even after you resign?

We already know the bulk of it is going to William. Harry still has not reconciled himself to the fact that he was born #2 and will have to "work" for what he wants.

You would think he would hold his head high and have some self respect, but apparently not. It's embarrassing to watch.

Prince Charles continued to financially support the Duke and Duchess of Sussex after they stepped down as senior members of the British royal family, according to financial accounts released Thursday.

Prince Charles’s office, Clarence House, published in its annual accounts that Charles paid his sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, and their families, a sum of $6.3 million. The annual report covers the period from April 1, 2020, to March 31, 2021. It’s not broken down by family.

Harry previously had told Oprah Winfrey that his family "literally cut me off financially" in the first quarter of 2020. He said he had to use money left to him by his mother, Princess Diana, to help pay for security for his family.

A spokesman for Clarence House told the BBC that “the Prince of Wales allocated a substantial sum” to Harry and Meghan, the duke and duchess, last year “to support them” with their transition in stepping down as senior members of the British royal family and relocating to California.

Is anyone surprised that Harry’s version of “cut off” means only getting millions of pounds? And when he said he was cut off in the “first quarter,” he really meant summer?

Isn't the fiscal year for the UK different, like the federal government here? Their first quarter ends in the summer. So that would mean Harry was telling the truth.

I love how PP read what Harry said and tried to make it look like she came up with it on her own, LOL

Yes, honey, we all read that, too. And Harry was on American TV for an American audience, he should know better.

“First Quarter” means Jan.-March in common usage in the UK, as well. They didn’t say “fiscal year,” and despite their “akshually it wasn’t technically incorrect” explanation now, the fact remains that they were spinning the facts to make Charles look as bad as they possibly could, and left a misleading impression, i.e., that they were “cut off” (given no money) earlier in the year. In fact, they were given millions into the summer. We should look at everything else they said in the same light.

Wrong. It's in the WaPo article

A spokesman for the Sussexes told The Washington Post that it was inaccurate to suggest a contradiction and that Harry’s comments were “in reference to the first quarter of the fiscal reporting period in U.K., which starts annually in April.”

NP. You need to work on your reading comprehension. The PP you’re responding to said that “first quarter” in common usage in the UK is the same as everywhere else, i.e. means January-March. And that conforms with the timing of when they moved to the US. The first quarter of the fiscal year may be different, and is what the Sussexes are now saying he meant, but given the context (American TV, American audience that wouldn’t be familiar with the UK fiscal year, non-intuitive definition, and timing of the move aligning with the US’ “first quarter”) he knew or should have known it would be interpreted in the American way. So he was being disingenuous to craft a narrative that his family cut them off and they arrived in California with nothing. It was spin (constructively a lie) to make them look sympathetic.

Exactly. The first quarter of the US government fiscal year starts on October 1. However, if someone says “First Quarter” without a “fiscal year” qualifier, you assume they mean January-March (even for people who work for the government).

If someone says first quarter, I'd make the opposite assumption. In what other context besides fiscal year does anyone use the word quarter to describe the time of year? I can't think of any. Usually you say early/late in the year or the season.

Huh? Do you never read or watch a press report about business or economics? Every business in America gives quarterly earnings results on a calendar basis. Not to mention unemployment figures, inflation — all reported by the government by quarter on a calendar (not fiscal) basis.

Sorry, I was unclear. The word quarter is used when speaking of financial issues. Harry was using it in that context-- the fiscal quarter-- but the UK first quarter.

The point is that, when people refer to “quarter,” unless they specify “fiscal quarter” the assumption by all is that they are referring to the calendar quarter. This is true, even in the US government, and in the UK, which both have different fiscal calendars. For example, the “first quarter” inflation figures released by the US government are for January through March. If someone refers to the first quarter of the government budget beginning in October, they will specifically say “first quarter of the fiscal year.” If they are referring to a fiscal year that is based on timing other than the calendar year, they specify that. Unless, of course, they’re trying to be intentionally misleading.

You're like a dog with a bone on this. Move on, let it go. Find something else to drag on them about. It's ridiculous that you're still harping on this first quarter/fiscal year word salad.

I was just surprised she’s still driving at 95. I figured when they stopped Philip from driving, she’d stop as well.

She was a Jeep mechanic during WWII, wasn’t she?

The Queen is a pretty badass lady. It's too bad nearly everyone else in her family sucks.

Well, she didn’t raise her children. That’s always a big gamble especially if they grow up in the public eye.

Actually she did raise them. She was much more hands on with the 2nd two - Andrew and Edward.

I think someone who spends 6 months away from her young child and greets them by shaking hands cannot be considered as “raising” that child even by the most generous definition of the word.

Right? If a mama doesn't give the littles a full-on smackeroo on the lips, she's a bad mother!!!

More like if a parent doesn’t see their child for half the year they’re not really raising that child…


Dp. The Queen had obligations to her country and children during that time were expected to be raised by nannies. That dos not mean she and Philip weren't the parents. You cannot criticize the Queen's parenting skills by today's helicopter standards. Heck even most middle class parents would be considered negligent because majority of kids were free range!

It is probably late bills being entered into the accounts. It’s amazing what you can get a set of accounts to say so unless you are in The Dutchy of Cornwall finance department or one of the major players involved then you cannot rely on it as definitive proof.
I'd like to see the dates on the invoice and the narrative with dates of services performed.

I would bet cash money that did Harry stop receiving security in Q1 ...and Charles staff recieved and/or booked the last invoice to the accounts in Q2.

Crafty wee fellas, courtiers.

Who cares? Harry can pay his own bills like everyone else.
