      Agree. Although the Diana years were hard to swallow, but unfortunately she was the architect of much of her own misery. Her emotional fragility was there for the world to see, including her young sons. If she ever used them as pawns, it’s no wonder Harry has himself sought an emotionally controlling woman. The Royal Family have listened to public sentiment in the intervening years and altered their approach, which has given William and Harry way more freedom than they might otherwise have had. Calling them ‘the firm’ is straight out of Diana’s playbook. The world has moved on. Harry needs to too… maybe he should find a reputable psychologist to help him… better look beyond better up, as qualified, bona fide coaches sign up to a code of ethics by which anyone with actual psychological issues must forwarded to a professional for mental health help. Coaches trying to tackle his issues could be harmful to both him and those whose lives he might impact.

Did they forget that they are extremely wealthy and use their own money for vacations? I am so sick of the British people whining about where their tax dollars are going to link meanwhile they don't realize some might be going to their free healthcare and other things. I only know this because you're not the first person I've come across saying how much of individual tax dollars actually go to the royal family. It's like here in America I am so sick of people getting pulled over by police officers and say and I pay your salary. They're always talking about how their tax dollars pay somebody salary that they're dealing with.

      @@lnlywriter9618 The thing is I don't see nothing wrong for Harry and Meghan to have some say in what sort of endevours they participate within the royal family and that the rest of the time they do their own things. That Harry would have become something like prince Andrew was unfair and even frankly old fashioned. It is unfair to demand that prince Harry and Meghan would just sit doing nothing and then go to some sort of things that the court deemed approriate. Now if that meant that they would not get the same funding as before then that would be approriate. But not to give them some say in what their lives are going to be like, is just cruel demand. Especially when they told for a long time that they were not happy and that things needed to change.
      I really can't see the harm that the royal family changed the rules and allowed for Harry and Meghan to live their lives, do business and documents and then sometimes represent queen. It likely would have been win win situation. They would only use the royal titles when representing the queen.
      What i find annoying that even if they cut all funding for Harry, even the security costs etc and removed his titles and royal patronaged , they still seem to expect that Harry would ask permisssion from the palace about what activities he participate. They chose to cut everything so stop complaining.
      From what I can tell Harry is glad he left RF, but I am sure there is sadness around how things went and because the relationships have fractured. I am pretty sure there is regret on the parts of the RF as well. They both could have handled things better.

    Disney have the make-believe, the UK have the royal family. The amount taxpayers contributed last year was less than the 98 million.
    The Queen's revenue, quite considerable, is turned over to treasury, then the working royals get back their expenses from the treasury, including, I believe, the expense of greeting foreign diplomats and government officials.
    Which are part of the duties of the monarch as Head of State.
    I always wondered why this give me and then I'll give you back. Is confusing and often use to confuse taxpayers as to how much the royals management makes vs how much truly comes out of the taxpayers pockets.

      Princess Anne was the “spare” for the first 10 years of her life as she was born in 1950. Andrew was born in 1960. She seems to have a solid head on her shoulders and dedicated to the Queen and the commonwealth .
      Andrew was raised knowing Charles would be married and would have children. All Royals are well versed in how the succession works, Andrew was fully aware he would only be the “second in line after Charles” until Charles had children. William 1982 and Harry 1984 were born. Andrew knew by the age of 22 he was moving down the line… entered Britannia Royal Naval College (BRNC), Dartmouth, in 1979 to train as a naval officer, following in his father’s footsteps. Andrew completed the course at BRNC in 1980. He then underwent pilot training in both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters and received his pilot’s wings in 1981. Andrew retired from the Navy in 2001
      Harry was raised in the same manner as Andrew knowing William would marry and have children. Catherine started dating William over 20 years ago (2001) Harry knew when he was 17 his days as “spare” were ending. His schooling was done, he went into the Army just as his Uncle Andrew went into the Navy. It was expected Harry would have a career in the Army for 20+ years.

They have become the owners of majority of London's poshest real estate and have become involved in shady business dealings with little intervention from the U.K government.

    I believe the British royals should abdicate once they reach a certain age like the Dutch, Belgium, and Luxembourg. This process ensures there is no dotty old person in charge of the country making decisions that they shouldn't be making. There should be a clear mind at work in that position.

      Funny...you could have been referring to our "Demented-in- Chief", Joe Biden. As you stated, one must be of clear mind to make both everyday, as well as important, diplomatic decisions. He, clearly, is losing his ability to do both. He can't even give a speech without the help of placards; and even then he stumbles and fails to clearly communicate his points.

      @@beammeup9504 The media forgets to include information of the sovereign's public estate, The Crown Estate, that surrenders 100% of its net profit to the UK government every year. These revenues thus proceed directly to HM Treasury, for the benefit of the British nation. The government gives 25% of that profit to the sovereign ($96m above) in the form of the Sovereign Grant and retains the remaining 75% to run the government which lowers the bill to the British taxpayer. This arrangement has been in place for every monarch since George III.

      If Royal Reporting was honest as opposed to writing things which ensure that they can put food on their tables the following month, it would be factual to state if Harry stepping back from senior Royal duties, causes the UK Monarchy to reach an end, then it says more about the lack luster, lack of competency, and zero charisma of the remaining Royals that will bring on its demise. One member of the family leaving a truly successful organization, would not cause it to fold. That one member who left with his family, is set for life already, with their contracts they have secured. Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex could have been such an asset to the Royals and would have ensured a few more decades of a UK Monarchy. Instead, fragile egos took over, and racism raised its head, and was encouraged throughout the country, and we are now where we are. Harry and Meghan and their Foundation are and will continue to do just fine. Archie and Lili have fabulous parents, and a wonderful legacy for them to carry forward later in life.
      The ship has indeed sailed. In fact, a whole flotilla of sea faring vessels representing Sussex business ventures are all sailing now.
