I wonder if the company will do his tax return for him or will he hire an accountant or just use an online tax programme like most of us do?

Maybe they'll go here

The news this morning was that he has joined another Board, dealing with mental problems.

Shown as HRH Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex

So, the titles have come in very useful. No wonder they don't want to give the m up!

What does the Queen do now??? If she cracks down, and says they are not to use the titles, it'll cause another rant about the "terrible" Royal Family, and this time the Queen will get it from them, and from US commentators.


Secondly, I also thought that the nickname "hostage" was only applied AFTER Meghan was living in London with him, and also took it as meaning that staff had seen him subject to Meghan's whims. "What Meghan wants, Meghan gets."

Is there an "or else" that should be tacked on to the end of that quote that he is supposed to have said?


Third, I don't see the Royal Family as providing Meghan with the "celebrity" status that she craved ......

...... she would always been second behind Kate. Never be able to be "top dog", unless something happened to all the current heirs ahead of Harry.

....... she was not allowed to speak out "in her own voice", or "her own truth".

...... Lordy, she wasn't allowed to accept free clothes from major dress designers.


Now, she has all that within her grasp. Just look at the money they're getting, and how they've put the Queen in a very awkward position re using/not using their titles for "business",

This sums up the situation well.

In reality, I think H&M will be able to call themselves whatever they like in the USA. Obviously the rest of the RF and half of Britain will roll their eyes, but even if they were excommunicated, they could quite easily pass themselves off as a prince and princess to the American public. I mean for heavens sake, they refer to Oprah as a (quasi) queen.

The Duchess of York takes all sorts of paid employment. Weight Watchers. Cranberry juice. Writing books, talk shows, etc. She lives in a crown estate home, which is protected by British Security service. She has received money to pay off debts. No one seems to be worried about her antics. No one yelling to strip of her duchess title, after all the trouble she caused. Why not? I think I know why.

I am no fan of hers but in fairness, she has never publicly said she wanted to escape the RF or the UK. She doesn’t lecture people about their carbon footprint, while flying around in private jets, driving Range Rovers and living in a huge 9 bedroom house, c/w 2 bed guest house. She hasn’t been on TV saying lie upon lie, on a program that was shown around the world.

Living with a man of questionable morals. What car does she drive - a Fiat 500? Who cleans the mansion she lives in? It has more than 9 bedrooms. Selling off access to her ex-husband. The Queen gave them a huge mansion, which she left to go to rack and ruin. It is now being torn down. All the Queen’s money, while Andy collected millions more than it was worth from a rich Arab. Shocking pair. All quiet for them though. Everyone raving at other people.

Whatever car she drives, or how big the home is...she doesn’t lecture people about their carbon footprint. I agree with you they are a despicable pair and should be held accountable. That said it doesn’t change what H&M have done and continue to do.

Because she lives in Britain ?

She did have her HRH title stripped though, and that’s what people are talking about for H&M. It’s the ‘Royal’ bit of their titles that would be removed (when they’re no longer working members of the royal family).

So they’d still be Duke & Duchess of Sussex (just as she’s still the Duchess of York, and Wallis Simpson was still the Duchess of Windsor), just not TRH.

So that's now the 'sina qua non' (gold standard) for being a sort-of-good royal cast-out instead of a sort-of-bad one?

What of Prince Charles, who regularly lectures his future subjects (particularly architects, developers, and builders) on all manner of things...?

Of course, if anyone should thank Harry and Meghan for speaking up on Oprah, it's Prince Andrew.

Just when the focus on the Epstein affair and the subsequent BBC interview was getting truly excruciating, along comes relief from a nephew and his wife.

Regurlarly perhaps 20 years ago, he's much mellower these days. He also continues to reside in the UK and fulfils his public role, so he also does not fall below the gold standard.

still different rules for them

As royals they are afforded a few perks.
