Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced they’re taking a “step back” from the royal family

Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s Wax Figures Were Removed From The Royal Family Museum Set

Image
In the wake of the news, Madame Tussauds in London made a bold decision. The wax museum announced on Thursday that Harry and Meghan’s wax figures have been removed from the royal family set. “Alongside the rest of the world we are reacting to the surprising news that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be stepping back as senior Royals,” said Madame Tussauds London’s general manager Steve Davies in a statement.

Does that mean the facade of 'Royal Family' can be lifted & they can finally admit who Harry's real father is now?

Here come the multi-million-dollar security bills. Reports say they will live in Canada and we're stuck with them and their bills, legally. I'm not anti-royal at all but I guess that's the price we Commonwealthers pay.
TORONTO (Reuters) - Canadian taxpayers could be on the hook for millions of dollars a year in security expenses if Britain’s Prince Harry and his wife Meghan move there, even part time, as they step away from their royal duties, security experts said.

Here's how much money Meghan Markle and Prince Harry could need to maintain their lavish lifestyle if they plan on becoming 'financially independent'

They will need millions to maintain their lavish lifestyle, which has included $US200,000 baby showers and multimillion-dollar home renovations.

Together, Meghan and Harry are worth $US30 million. Meghan’s net worth is estimated to be about $US5 million from her acting career, and Harry’s net worth is reportedly at least $US25 million, comprised of an inheritance from Princess Diana and an annual allowance from Prince Charles. It’s unknown how much of this comes from the crown.

Megsy might have to cut back on her favourite wine 'Tignanello' which can cost as much as $US130 a bottle and settle for a $50 plonk instead... :mulled:

I am late to this discussion, and all the best gags have been used up.

Once the dust settles and the very senior Palace flunkeys have had a meeting without coffee with these two spoilt brats, you might see a new attitude coming from these two, or a complete break. The House of Windsor has one raison d'être - survival. Anyone who threatens it will be boxed up and either put in the cellars (Prince Andrew) or sent away for good (Duke of Windsor).

Diana was a thorn in their side until they got very lucky. Fergie was just a fat posh slapper and nobody really liked her anyway. But the men, the actual royals, fell back into line.

However, this is a new threat; a de facto resignation with full pay, for the time being. They have taken this step without any authority whatsoever and they are about to get put in their places, which is either fall back in line or fuck off entirely. Being a senior Royal is a seven course banquet, not a buffet. (It may be directed more at Harry; it may be all milk and honey now, but if your marriage falls apart in 10 years, don't come crying back to us.)

The Palace may give them a year off as a face saver, like a sabbatical, but after that they will either have to resume a respectable level of royal duties (they are already slack in this regard), or they will be banished, airbrushed out of the story and rarely, if ever, seen in public with the family again.

They can get a handout from Prince Charles from his strictly private funds and he will pay for their security. (Prince Andrew already pays for his daughters security so it's not a new concept).

The public taxpayer will not accept taxpayers money funding their new, "progressive adjustment" (FFS) into what in reality will be a A-List celebrity lifestyle. It's not going to happen.

Make no mistake, the Queen is still the boss and Charles will continue in the same vein. Even William, who is looking more and more the inbred dullard, will fall into line.

I do find it amusing that their big new plan included setting up a "new charitable entity". Are they seriously thinking of scrounging of rich people to fund a charity so they can be parasitical trustees flying around the place on private jets?
