Good for them.

Unlike the rest of the Royal Family, they won’t be taking money from the taxpayers.

That’s somewhat inaccurate to be honest yes the royal family receives taxpayer dollars no question of that but they also have royal family assets handed down through several dynasties

Stuart to Hanoverian to Windsor and so forth which creates much of Their income

The queen alone is estimated to have 500 million in assets of this nature

More importantly the crown Estate which gives nothing to the royals is estimated at 80 to 100 billion

Which owns and manages and pays for many many Parks and institutions and lands and real estate etc. enjoyed by the public and which cash flows into the economy which More than offset any tax dollars spent on the royals

Get the billions up front.

Then let the assburger genius Cuban handle the details.

But they are. The taxpayers are still funding Frogmore, their home, their security, and Prince Charles is giving them money out of his maintenance.

They are on their way to being financially independent; they aren’t there yet.

Imagine, two grown, middle aged adults, crying about how abusive their family is and how tough it is to smile, dress nice, be polite and cut some ribbons; meanwhile, they are picking everyone’s pockets and sitting on millions they inherited from the self-same cruel family!

Heck, Meghan even played the race card for good measure.

They are a train wreck.
