Harry and Meghan quit

Fretwired

Harry and Megan have quit from royal duties and will spend more time in the USA. They are financially independent so don't need taxpayer cash. Good luck to them .. I can understand why they're doing it.

Will they be giving back the house(s) and the security staff?

Perhaps there will be another series of Suits after all....

They'll be hanging around for a while as they have things booked but it looks like yes and Harry wants to give up his title. He's never felt comfortable. I bet they end up living quietly in the US. Harry has a shed load of cash from his mum.

Why? There are too many Royals ... most of them should be forced to get a job. Andrew's been sacked and Edward's as wet as a haddock's bathing costume. His dad had to buy him out of the Royal Marines as he used to cry at night after training.

And God knows what Andrew's girls do .. get a job and stop being scroungers.

I must admit I wouldn't want to live in the 'gilded-cage'.

Presumably they have offered to repay the taxpayer for their wedding costs?

No, but then I wouldn't have picked the RM. Phillip went nuts. The guy should have joined the Royal Navy.

I know it's tough as my neighbour's son has just got his green beret - but he's 6' 4" and as hard as nails. I admit I wouldn't have passed in a million years.

I agree with you. The Queen doesn't seem pleased as she wasn't told.

Good on them for making choices in their own best interests and good luck to them.

So they'll still be mega rich and pretty much treated like royalty but do even less for it?

Good riddance. Rumours abound that Harry’s not a real prince anyway. Meg can just feck off.
