I think the royals will find that earning money is much different than being given an allowance.

I think they will quickly find out they can earn 10x their allowance simply by doing speeches to all the Royal sychophants out there.

Meghan continues to be a ‘fame seeker’ first and foremost...she will stay on that path one way or another. .....But basically they both want their cake and eat it too. They’re quitting their job but maintaining the purse strings to the monarchy while they go job hunting.

The French had the right idea.

Not the way they did it, guillotining thousands of their countrymen, incluidng 1,000 priests, and enforcing anti-Christian secularism that has, in turn, blinded them to the dangers of the immigrants who now are the largest percentage versus the native population of any of the European countries. They are constantly afraid to push back because of the ruthlessness of the terrorists living among them.

If you have not had the chance, read Ann Coulter's best and most serious book, Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America (2011). Citing the many parallels to the French Revolution, she foresaw how the left wing in this country would use the tactics they, indeed, have been using to destabilize all that the Bill of Rights promises. We can now see how Soros-financed mobs, from Occupy to BDS to BLM to the riots and protests against Trump, are not just spontaneous citizen eruptions, but an organized insurrection much like the French Revolution, as she described.

Why do so many in the U.S. care about these people we fought a war to free ourselves from? If they don’t like the U.K. they should go back to Germany, where they came from.

I think the fact that William and Harry grew up in the news engendered a great deal of sympathy for them, who were still children when their mother was tragically killed. Unfortunately, Harry has not been able to get past it; and he appears not too bright, either. William has chosen more wisely.

As for the "go back to Germany" thing, Queen Elizabeth's great-randmother Victoria married a German, but was herself mixed with British blood, as were her heirs. Elizabeth's mother was pure Scottish, Diana's roots go far back into British Isles history, and Prince Philip is only partially German, as well. So William, the heir, is only a tiny percentage German blood. The family made a very public break from the German royal houses over 100 years ago, and forced out Elizabeth's uncle Edward because of his Nazi sympathies (with the cover story that he was renouncing the throne to be with his American divorcée Wallis Simpson). Most Americans reject race-based arguments that one is guilty for the sins of the forefathers.

They didn't break from them. They changed their name to hide the fact that they were Hanovers. Kaiser Wilhelm II was Queen Victoria's Grandson. I don't blame him for World War II, but he certainly wasn't a good leader. Of course, the world would have been better off, if Germany had kept him as a constitutional monarch. Better than Weimar and Hitler. ("You English are mad, mad, mad as March hares." KWII)

Sorry, my phone is on the fritz.

What did Harry and Markle hire two American Deep Staters? Why the close ties to Hillary? Why the 6 week disappearance act?

Normally, I’d be with you. Who the heck cares. But after Epstein, Spygate, and Brexit considerations, I find I do.

Lol Self hating American crack me up. The Hanovers have been living at taxpayer expense for 300 years. They even financed two wars with the us on the taxpayers. Queen Elizabeth probably is into them over a trillion dollars.
But if an american spends $6,500 on some stupid tub, that’s where you draw the line? The message: American are bad. Inbred foreign monarchs are good.

Oh common, that tub is ugly!!! Has nothing to do with being American. Meghan has poor taste. Try keeping that tub shiny! Oh, that’s why one has servants.
