UPDATED!
[Blind Gossip] We warned you that this was coming!
Think back to a few months ago when we talked about the baby.
Our married couple was oddly reluctant to let the public see the baby, citing concerns over safety and a desire to bond privately.
We told you that wasn’t true. Plenty of their family members have managed to keep their children safe and secure over many generations while meeting their obligations as public figures.
We told you that the couple was actually trying to keep sightings of the baby rare while they figured out how to monetize the situation… without the rest of the family finding out.
They bungled that scenario.
However, it’s now full steam ahead with The Big Plan!
What is The Big Plan?
To brand and monetize everything.
You are now seeing that plan being put into motion. And if you question what they are doing, you will be met with anger, misdirection, and insistence that their motives are pure.
We hid the baby because… Privacy! Motherhood!
We take private planes and stay in posh private digs because… Environment! Wellness!
We isolate ourselves from 99% of our family and surround ourselves with celebrities because… Family! Safety!
We are engaging our own outside lawyers and PR team because… Protection! Charity!
How dare you question our motives!
See how that works?
Our couple thinks that they are good. Those who question their motives or their nonsensical excuses or their bizarre hypocrisy are bad.
By the way, if you like The Clinton Foundation, you are going to love our couple’s charity organization. Why? Because The Clinton Foundation is our couple’s model.
Actually, they think they can be much bigger than The Clinton Foundation.
They just have to keep you pesky commoners at bay while they spin up the machine.
Then it’s cha ching… cha ching… cha ching!
All in the name of charity, of course.
Yes, you may roll your eyes.

[Optional] What will happen to this plan and this couple?
SOLVED!
Couple: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
Your friends at Blind Gossip have been telling you for months that Meghan Markle had a big plan to brand and merchandise and monetize her new life as the wife of Prince Harry and the mother of baby Archie.
We also told you that she has been frustrated by the British Royal Family’s repeated attempts to quash her strategy.
However, she did manage to isolate Prince Harry from his family and convince him that her plan is the right one.
The Sussexes subsequently trademarked their brand for merchandising purposes; established a charity foundation in the United States, far from the prying eyes of the British Royal Family; and avoided England for more than two months during the holiday season while spinning up their new ventures with their lawyers and publicists.
Now comes the big announcement!
- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are “stepping back” as senior royals.
- They will be working towards becoming “financially independent.”
- They will be doing this while providing their family “with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.”
From People:
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Announce Shocking Move to ‘Step Back as Senior Members of Royal Family’
The move is unprecedented in modern royal historyPrince Harry and Meghan Markle are making a dramatic move. The royal couple announced on Wednesday that they intend to “step back as senior members of the Royal Family,” and they are making plans to split their time between the U.K. and North America.
“After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution,” the Duke and Duchess of Sussex wrote on Instagram.
“We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment.
The Queen has a little side eye to dish out on this one.
That’s because this move is definitely NOT being made because Harry and Meghan are supportive of the The Queen. It is exactly the opposite.
“We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages.
This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.
Charity. Just like The Clinton Foundation.
We look forward to sharing the full details of this exciting next step in due course, as we continue to collaborate with Her Majesty The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and all relevant parties.
Until then, please accept our deepest thanks for your continued support.”
Signing their statement, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the couple also posted a photo from the announcement of their engagement in November 2017.

Cha-ching! Let the merchandising and monetization and “charity” begin!

UPDATE!
And… they’re OUT!
Megxit is a go!
After a meeting of all the parties at Sandringham, The Queen is letting Prince Harry and Meghan Markle go do their thing.
Here is the official statement from Queen Elizabeth:
Today my family had very constructive discussions on the future of my grandson and his family.
My family and I are entirely supportive of Harry and Meghan’s desire to create a new life as a young family. Although we would have preferred them to remain full-time working members of the Royal Family, we respect and understand their wish to live a more independent life as a family while remaining a valued part of my family.
Harry and Meghan have made clear that they do not want to be reliant on public funds in their new lives.
It has therefore been agreed that there will be a period of transition in which the Sussexes will spend time in Canada and the U.K.
These are complex matters for my family to resolve, and there is some more work to be done, but I have asked for final decisions to be reached in the coming days.
Meghan Markle’s statement was a little more concise:
Buh bye, Suckers! Cha ching!
Just kidding. But inside, we’re sure she was doing this:
Interestingly, In The Queen’s statement, she refers to the couple by their first names Harry and Meghan, rather than the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, more than once. That is rather informal for a royal announcement.
Does that mean she plans to strip them of their royal titles?
Will Harry still be a Prince? Will he still be referred to as His Royal Highness? Will they still be the Duke and Duchess of Sussex?
We’ll see.
LaursAngel says
I can’t stand those two. And I am the only one of my friends and family that dislikes her. Everyone I know feels sorry for her and think that she’s amazing for stepping away and that it’s the royal family’s fault. Makes my blood boil!!
Searlait says
They were not stripped of their HRH titles. They have agreed to not use them. They will still be using Duke, Duchess & Sussex. They keep security & Frogmore but will supposedly repay the renovations. Charles will be giving them 2.3M every year. They will be giving up royal duties though. It’s a huge win for Markle. Those diaries must have been juicy.
montrealaise says
$2.3 million a year is not enough to fund their lifestyle. Up to now, the UK taxpayer has been paying for things such as their hugely expensive security; they plan to live in Canada but we Canadian taxpayers have made it very clear that we do not want to pay for their security here. Unless they find an extremely lucrative source of income, they will be in financial trouble very quickly.
stinkerbell says
You know what? If I had a family who prioritized “the firm” more than a person, who brushed aside, paid off, and buried horrible people and their behavior, who raised me to plaster a smile on a my face, WHO WAS TOXIC, I’d absolutely separate myself from them. Harry is Princess Margaret, is Princess Anne. Good for him, and good for them. And Harry is his own person. You all really think that Meghan is so magical that she has brainwashed him? Please.
amagod121 says
Hoping that ALL of the titles are pulled so these two can’t use the Windsor family to make their living after bl @ckm @iling the family. No matter what else came before, the very fact that they threatened to very publicly spill family secrets to the highest bidder if they didn’t get their way makes them utterly despicable people. Harry even more than Meghan as this is HIS flesh and blood whom he has betrayed completely. I hope he feels indescribable shame over their actions!
sim1fun says
I hope Canadians don’t have to pay for any royal security. If you’re out, you’re out, right?
Sassymom says
She is another Wallis Simpson, but much more calculating. This was her plan all along. She knew what she was getting into when she married him. Have to courtesy to the queen, and one day to Kate. MM is NOT playing second fiddle to anyone. Once she had the kid- it was buh buh. She knew Harry would not leave once the kid came. So low–Harry asking head of Disney for a job!!!
I do NOT like this couple.
august2019 says
The Royal Family probably wants them gone now anyway. They did the right thing. All eyes are on them. Over time I think they will strip H&M of privileges little by little until they have nothing left. Celebrities are very fickle. It will be interesting to see who’s still around if Prince Harry is no longer a Prince.
Lastly Tom Bradby stating that they will do a tell all interview with Oprah if they don’t get their way is gross. What a disgrace.
gurutas says
First of all, they both better hope neither the Queen nor Prince Phillip, already ill, passes away during these trying days. They will be vilified forever if that happens. I also think it is absolutely horrible they are putting them both through this now. It only shows their self-centeredness and selfishness. Meghan worked faster than even the most skeptical thought she would. HMQE is cutting them loose, but may leave the door open for Harry’s inevitable return, when they crash and burn.
pewter says
I liked the statement. It first refers to “Harry and his family” and then moves on to “Harry and Meghan.” Then, simply referred to as “Sussexes.” Also notable is the whole part about not wanting to be full time working royals. If you read between the lines, it seems HMTQ won’t let them be “part time” royals. It’s either full time or nothing. Then, she was very informal in referring to them. That is telling. I think she’ll let them have Sussex, but it may be used as a last name. No…
Babycham says
Poor Harry (or not as the case may be). I hope someone will be there for him in the future.
I’m stunned, to tell you the truth.
Babycham says
With every new development, my sympathy dwindles.
They have left the Royal Family now – good luck to them. Now can we forget them and get on with our own lives?
PieLies says
The Queen is so diplomatic, I really admire her. Meghan not so much. William avoided Harry at the lunch and Prince Philip left before the meeting began. They are PO’d! Meghan sure caused a huge rift in the family, then scooted over to Canada, the huge chicken.
NativeAtlantaGirl says
The Queen & “The Firm” is far too steeped in tradition to just let this go… they are giving her just enough rope to hang herself. Meg hasn’t been able to control the media and has had major issues with all staff… I give them 2 years max.
lealeablue2 says
Her title should be stripped,and no more of my money as a UK taxpayer! She’s played Harry like a violin, and he’s too besotted to see it.
IamnotMe says
The Firm has friends and family that don’t act appropriately with the underaged. As awful as Meghan is, and she’s pretty awful, she’s making the best move she can for her child. Not that she planned it that way and not that she’s fully aware, but her devious behavior has a silver lining. Let’s hope it stays that way.
annabelle77 says
She’s hanging out with the Clintons. Her child doesn’t have a prayer. She dumps him to go to Tennis matches across the ocean.
mybellyistoofulltothink says
Where is Ricky Gervais??!? He needs to roast these two. I keep reading from “sources” that they have “star power” to monetize potentially hundreds of millions of dollars. I have no idea who would pay to hear them speak or buy Sussex merchandise. I’d actually laugh at anyone wearing a Sussex t-shirt or socks at this point.
MarshallRob says
Well this American applauds Harry’s Declaration of Independence against the British Royal Family! Not sure why so many feel differently. Trying to see things from Harry’s point of view, maybe life as a human tourist attraction with nothing important to do is not what he wants for himself. (Look how Prince Andrew turned out). The British press basically killed his mother and are now trying to destroy his wife. How can anyone blame him for wanting to get out of there and chart his own course?
Acheronbeach says
How did the British press kill Diana when she died because she employed a perpetually drunk chauffeur, didn’t use her seatbelt, and was chased by paparazzi in France?
I don’t think people are upset he wants out. I think it’s that he’s still demanding 95% of his pay, his free London mansion, and taxpayer funded security.
LittleMissMuffin says
no one cares if they leave, the issue here is that they still want that perks and luxuries of being a royal without actually doing any of the work. How can you say you want to be financially independent while still demanding that Prince Charles pay for everything and keep the 2.4 million pound mansion.
Searlait says
Then why didn’t he renounce his title then? It would have been a simple solution and solved his problems.
ohnow says
I am one of those people who disagrees, but “human tourist attraction” did make me LOL.
trulyme says
I hope their titles will be taken away
ChattyCat says
Hey…as long as the money from the toilet brush goes to charity I say throw in a Sussex Royal toilet seat cover too! Just imagine all the Sussex Royal brand baby products they could sell!
annabelle77 says
Honey, NONE of this money will really be going to charity. These “foundations” are just money laundering slush funds. Ask the Haitians how much of their allotted money came to them from the Clintons. 0. It’s a scam.
trulyme says
You were right since the beginning. We saw right trough her. She’s evil.
sha76 says
Today is Kate’s birthday. They made their announcement yesterday evening knowing it would overshadow her today in the press. She is petty beyond belief
Alexis_Rose says
In response to Ginger All the Way – Aren’t William, Kate and Harry the ones who put “Heads Together” together?
lealeablue2 says
Saw this coming. The disrespect shown to the Queen is an utter disgrace, and as a UK taxpayer I don’t want my hard earned money funding these two. Hard work is part and parcel of being a royal, you don’t want to do it then give up your titles.
trulyme says
True
MrsWCleaver says
Unless the Queen strips their titles, this is “win win” for them. They can do what they want without those oh so annoying “Royal Rules.” Anyone want a Sussex Royal Toilet Brush? Available at a Walmart near you next Christmas.
ChattyCat says
I recon this is what H & M are expecting…rejecting their titles of their own volition would have been a slap in the face to H’s grandmother. The are handing her the choice as a sign of respect for her. However, they may make a case to her that allowing to keep their titles would enable them privileges not afforded to the common citizen in their strive to benefit charities.
gingeralltheway says
Kate and William are boring, and they’re also incredibly lazy.What have they actually DONE? It’s taken William nearly a decade to announce his recent collaboration with Attenborough and all that is is an organization looking for others’ ideas and giving them money for it. HE’s not actually doing anything. Harry’s done more with the Invictus Games on his own than William has at any point in his life. Of course, expect having an affair with Rose Hanbury. Name anything else he’s done of…
sfgirl42 says
Ugghhhhh! Meghan is awful.
mommagoosed says
With all due respect to Prince Harry, when has he ever been a “senior” royal??
As for them stepping back, when were “they” that involved???
With them stepping back and splitting their time between continents, they should lose their royal titles, IMHO, and I am an American. Surely the Brits feel similarly? Shades of Wallis Simpson and Edward all over again…
F Thevenot says
Megxit is a disaster. Meghan is leaving the U.K. and taking their ginger haired boy with her. If you were fond of her, it’s a disaster and if you hated her, it’s still a disaster. How much digital “ink” was spilled covering her, to praise her or scold her? The real loser here is Piers Morgan.
My guess is when the dust settles they won’t get to keep those titles, HRH or Sussex and it won’t matter. They can write a book and Harry also has nice inheritance from Diana.
Gerseychick says
Her family did state she is nothing but TROUBLE….Harry will get bored in the end….It will be the biggest divorce in history….He will keep his son in England…She will be paid to go away or else…..
marykatez says
I think they’re divorcing and she’s throwing him under the bus. I expect an announcement within the next two weeks. She goes back to Canada and he stays in the UK.
Palermo says
A move he is very much going to regret. You know she will dump him and he will go crawling back to his family. I can see a huge scandal eventually where they get caught doing illegal things via their “foundation”
Ramblingirl says
Of course. I don’t trust her at all.
Tahlullah says
Kate and William are not boring in my opinion. What they are doing, is conducting themselves in a manner befitting their role and stature. Not sure what you expect them to do? Go down the pub and get plastered on a Saturday night? Not a good look for the future King.
montrealaise says
Whatever happened to Harry, the fun-loving and warm-hearted, if a little dim-witted, soldier prince? Now he’s an anxiety-ridden “woke” neurotic who seems to have completely forgotten his upbringing and heritage and is slavishly going along with whatever his greedy, fame-thirsty wife wants.

My in-laws don’t understand what it’s like to live under a microscope! Don’t look at me! I want my privacy! My life is so stressful! Where’s my private jet?” And…
charlene2345 says
Meghan and Harry. This is gross.
From the moment their engagement was announced, I had a bad feeling. I used to work in public relations, and came across many celebrities. Some celebrities are nice and genuine, others fame and money hungry, and willing to do anything (and I mean anything) to get their name in the press. Markle fell into the latter category for me- NOTHING seemed genuine about her, from her mannerisms to her tone of voice.
8outof11 says
Me too. I am getting vibes you are gifted.
Siboney says
I couldn’t even read the article when it showed up on my phone news over the holidays. I could hardly believe it ! Who would make their title a trademark to make money off it ? ! They are supposed to do charitable appearances and have patronages such as Invictus Games, Senbale,etc. Just shut up and raise your kid and help some charities – news flash — you are not a charity !!!!! I hope the royal Family shuts this down like yesterday !!
Cornish Pixie says
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex. They already filed a trademark application for their “Foundation”, known as Sussex Royal, to monetize everything, just like the Kardashians. Too bad for the Sussexes though that they are as transparent as glass.
TeaDrinker says
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle (they just filed to use the Sussex branding on products and services)
Optional: Hopefully the plan will fail and they’ll be called out on it and shut down by the royal family!
8outof11 says
How? They make the newspapers money. I am sure some of those supposed reporters, are a little sad that they will not be able to take as many pictures and write stories. I hope their marriage is long-lasting. They will continue to do more good than bad through the charities they have started, supported, and will create. You will see.

Prince “Hapless” Harry and “Sparkles” Meghan Markle. UGH.
Their smirking mugs and junk everywhere? Seriously? I thought that the Queen had to endorse all Royal merchandise.
This will definitely destroy the Monarchy, make it drearily overly-common, like a scroungey distant relative who squats in your home and refuses to leave. And Harry agreeing to all of this? Pure madness and greed on his part, as well as MM’s.

Harry and Megan lack the power the Clinton’s do, which means less foundation donations for…

Annnnndddd…. today it begins. Trademarking of “Sussex Royal” is touted in news items this morning as the two fools “building their brand”. We all know the rationale will be for charitable purposes but I’d think lots of $$$ winds up in the coffers of two people who are inordinately find of jet travel, luxury accommodations, and quarter-million dollar showers. They are completely disgusting.
Jhonea says
Not only that, but this “eco-conscious” couple is going to constantly fly back and forth between two continents.

Don’t know about the plan but they soon will be probably be leaving England. The “Firm” cannot be pleased with their secrecy and constant disagreeable attitude. They have become a PITA.

This is so about Harry and Markle. They think like celebs and monetizing babies is what celebs do. Why take the high road when the low road is in vogue and lucrative?
The Clinton Foundation was exposed as mostly a scam, right down to accepting $ from dictators and giving them awards to giving inept friends projects never completed or completed ineptly. Receipts exist. Yes that sounds like a business model Harry and Meghan would use. Fits perfectly.

Being English, I’m appalled the rest of the Royal Family haven’t shut this down. It’s embarassing to see 1000 years of the country’s history exploited for commercial profit by this pair of *.
MademoiselleRose says
Harry and Meghan … again. I don’t think it’s going to turn out as they think. A lot of people are disenchanted with them and are onto their game. The palace is too. Charles and William will downsize and Harry and Meghan will be sidelined and become uninteresting just as Andrew and Edward and their families have over time. They were front and centre many years ago but not now for a long time. Harry and Meghan’s opportunities will dry up now the gloss is falling away. Harry is stupid.

Harry and Megan, of course. They just filed to trademark their Foundation. Their egos know no limits.
I hope they are cut off from the Firm and exiled, much like David and Wallace Simpson… let history repeat itself, and be done with them.

Harry and * of course. She is one greedy girl. She must have been planning this for a long time.

I feel sad for Harry. He’s been vulnerable and adrift most of his life, and then he met a very manipulative woman. She quickly isolated him from William and Kate, and to an extent, even from his father.
I believe their monetizing of Archie will work simply because who’s going to stop her? They’ll probably have to stay in England if they want Charles to continue to support them, so that’s their tradeoff. She’s pretty cold hearted.

Meghan and Harry. “Sussex Royal” getting copyrights to just about everything under the sun, including mental health/emotional well-being services. Which, if they’re turning the monarchy into nothing more than a way to merchandise, they can legally keep 95% of that for themselves, as their non-NPO organization is formed in Arizona, where it doesn’t have to be audited.

beachchick218 says
This D-list actress knows no shame. The Royal Family needs to sit Harry down and explain that they WILL cut him off if he doesn’t stop that scheming low-rent wife of his. It’s hard to use the Royal name and influence when you are no longer titled.
I really didn’t realize Markle was this despicable. Snake in the grass. Their plan will never be a huge success . Without the clout and support of the royal family, these two hustlers are nothing special.

I think Harry will be stripped of his title Prince and the royal money will be taken away.
LawChick2000 says
He can’t be stripped of his Prince title. He was born a prince . However, the Queen could strip him of the Duke of Sussex title since she was the one who bestowed the title anyway. That would mean he would be Prince Harry and Meghan would be commoner Meghan Markle or Meghan Windsor. If they don’t have the “Sussex” title then branding everything “Sussex Royal” would be pretty difficult.

It’s not so much about the money as it is the fame and notoriety. Money is just a great by-product of it all.. and, trust me, for narcissist like her there will never ever be enough of it. Imagine bank rolling all the time- it’s pure greed. She simply setting up her future. If they divorced or left the RF.. with these businesses in place, they would be set. They wouldn’t miss an allowance from the Queen and they would have the freedom she so badly craves.
sunshine702 says
Pretty soon the Kanada Kardashians will be a footnote in Royal History. The media needs to settle down and cover them as much as Zara Tindle (almost never)
Hope those Wallmart Sussex Royal hoodies pay. Losers.

Lord. The Queen needs to rein this in or MM is going to destroy the RF. Harry should be a shame.

Harry and Meghan. They just registered Sussex Royal as a trademark. 🙄
LittleMissMuffin says
I’m so sick of Meghan and her whipped ginger. Why on Earth is HM and the RF letting them get away with this??? This is tarnishing the royal family for sure and the Queen doesn’t seem to want to do anything about it. I hope these two dimwits will crash and burn and their supposed “charity foundation” will be throughly investigated.

Hyper capitalism is all the rage and no one seems to mind that billionaires like Bezos pay no taxes and folks still love Hillary so not sure, seems like peeps okay with it.
The Duke and Duchess need to plug their leak though. Trust no one.

Meghan and Harry.
It is not going to work.
What makes sense to me though is that they are getting ready to
1. Leave (yes LEAVE) the Royal family. That way, they are answering only to themselves.
2. I also think they will move to North America in the next year (USA/Canada). That way their actions will face less scrutiny.
3. I do agree that they will say all of this (the Foundation, the move, etc.) is for “charity.”
BTW – the single biggest problem Hillary had was the…
Acheronbeach says
I hope my fellow Canadians don’t support them moving to Canada. I was horrified when I heard that – despite massive policing shortages and cutbacks in BC – the RCMP have dedicated several officers to guarding M & H during their vacation.
Why investigate rapists and murders when you could follow around two spoilt, rich twits? My tax dollars at work.
zappy2050 says
“Acheronbeach” – they are moving to Canada and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Sorry.
I still don’t think parts of it will work.
– Yes, their security will be covered by the Canadian taxpayers when in Canada.
– Yes they will do speaking engagements/sell t-shirts, etc online from the charity
I still think the tabloids will follow them around and be nasty – did they leave Sarah Ferguson or Diana alone? No.
It is a brave decision – but not a smart one. Wish them well.

This sounds like the BRF needs to step in and either cut off Mr and Mrs Markle, or rein them in. Those two can’t keep having it both ways.

Meghan Markle & Prince Harry
What will happen? It will blow up in her face like everything else she has tried since she grabbed her dopey Golden Ticket Hubby. No one really cares about them, but they don’t get this. I think they will divorce & she will eventually end up like her dad, alone & drunk someplace.
boyjack4 says
Those darn Sussex’s… Prince Harry seems to have no problem selling out his heritage..I wish he’d just walk away and leave our Royal Family alone. He’s a bloody disgrace and I feel such heartache for the Queen. His mother would have been horrified. That Markle woman has been a dreadful influence on him, she’s all about the money, she cold bloodedly went into this marriage with no intention of understanding the thousand year heritage of royalty. It’s appalling to watch.

The disgusting Sussex’s
The plan will be torpedoed by the royal family and their lawyers, and the Sussex’s will be no more. I live in hope, tons and tons of hope that the royal family see right through this nauseating self-entitled pair, and send them far away from British and their hard earned cash.

Couple: Duke and Duchess of Sussex
[Optional] What will happen to this plan and this couple? MAJOR FAIL! Prince Charles and the Queen is going to cut them off $$$ and send them into exile. The press is going to make their lives hell
toronto says
Ugh. This couple is Prince Harry, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.
No way is the Queen going to allow this to happen. She’s going to summon Harry and threaten to strip him his title if he cheapens the monarchy like this. As for Meghan, she’s totally alienated Harry from his fam. She won’t care and will continue as long as she pleases. I think (slowly) the American public will also smell the bs.

Markle and Harkle strike again 🤦🏼♀️
Hopefully it all blows up in their face and they don’t make a cent out of Archie … poor kid … having parents that only see Dollar signs is disgusting.

Meghan acts like the girl who was never invited anywhere by the popular kids. And now that she is invited by the popular kids, she can’t contain her excitement. Harry is going to have this woman ruin his future with the RF.

Makes sense since Hillary visited Meghan recently. M was getting the tip on how to create her money laundering foundation since she knows if she divorces H that the Royal Family money is gone.
Royal Family will probably shut it down.
Fruitcake says
I’m starting to think they want to leave the Royal family, as working Royals they have limits to what they can earn and have to answer for how they spend it. But as a private ‘Royal Sussex’ brand and ‘Charity’ foundation there no limits and they don’t have to answer to any one. Problem for them is more people are waking up to the fact these foundations are money laundering scams.

hunhun says
Ugh Harry and Meghan…. I hope the royal family somehow can legally stop them from profiting off using “Sussex royal”. I also hope they’re also pushed out from being on the royal payroll. These people are a disgrace.
trivialtime says
Isolating a partner from their family is a scary flag. That’s a big step in domestic abuse. Markle comes from big dysfunction and it appears that she has the family football and is running the ball at Harry’s expense. She’s a slick serpent.
OhYeah says
If the Queen revokes their titles then they would no longer be “Sussex Royal.” I think that would be HILARIOUS, since they obviously expect to make money off that brand, but it would be worthless without their titles. I hope the RF tells them they can leave, but they have to give it all up.
deepsigh says
The Sussex Circus keeps moving from town to town, trying out new acts.
Ringmaster Markle is still at it. Poor Harry.
The plan will be quashed by Charles and William.
Send in Kate to talk sense into Harry. YES,he is now 6th in line to the throne
but he is the son/ brother of future monarchs. He shouldn’t embarrass
his Dad and for GOD’S sake when William ascends,he’s going to need someone to confide in who “gets it” and truly loves him. Harry needs to
focus on helping his brother.
SarynotSary says
harry and Meghan, duh🙄 I never liked her from the beginning and I was so right.
fiddlesticks says
Me too! My English friends held a wedding afternoon tea when their marriage was broadcast and I was the only one who felt something was off about her. They were all raving about how it showed progress with racial equality etc, a public opinion which they could have really used for the good. Instead……
luvprue1 says
I never liked her from the start. She manipulative, and phoney. She do not have a good relationship with anyone in her family, so she wants to break up Harry’s relationship with his family. Why can’t she just go away.🙄
mrs_right says
Prince Harry & Megan.
Well, that’s appalling.
4sixx2 says
I’m so weary of Harry and Megs. He can’t even be considered her Victim at this point because he is so complicit. The Clintons are self serving con artists so that’s a great model for the Dynamic No Longer Royal Duo. I waste not an ounce of well wishes on any of them.
craisins86 says
She has bungled a huge opportunity. I’ve done similar things when younger too.
4sixx2 says
I’ve made a LOT of dumb decisions when I was young but I was never manipulative or disloyal. (DisRoyal? Ha!) Also, Megs is close to 40 and far beyond the age of making young, dumb mistakes.

Taking up where Andrew left off, making money off of The Firm. I hope their “titles” are taken away!
annabelle77 says
Meghan is brazen, but she’s not smart. The Royal family, and the courtiers, are going to crucify the two of them. The purse strings are held by the Firm. I can’t believe these two thought they could get away with this. Such idiots. They will be crushed and destroyed, and they deserve it.
silimom says
‘Working toward financial independence’? Seriously? They have a combined net worth of $30,000,000. $25 million is Harry’s from his inheritance from Diana and a stipend from Prince Charles and $5 million is Meghan’s. That sounds pretty financially independent to me.
Charles needs to stop his annual stipend to Harry, the Queen needs to charge them rent for their Frogmore “cottage”. They want to be independent? Then the royal perks stop – no taxpayer funded free rides. Let Meghan go back to…
mybellyistoofulltothink says
anabelle – I too would love to see the Firm knock them down several pegs. Best and most hilarious way would be to strip them of the title Sussex and leave them with just Earl of Dumbarton. But I think they are afraid of looking vindictive/racist/bullying, knowing the Sussex will play victim in the media by invoking how Diana was treated badly after the divorce.
pitbull says
And now it has been revealed that the Canadian Mansion that H & M have been staying in is owned by Frank Giustra, a MAJOR contributor of the Clinton Foundation!
SPOT ON BG!
annabelle77 says
Meghan and Harry made a HUGE mistake setting up the trademarks on “Royal Sussex” socks and hoodies, setting up their “ Foundation” all on the sly, and theme giving the Queen, the most respected woman in the world, the big fat middle finger as they bolted out the door. They will NEVER recover from this. Their “Brand” is completely tarnished. And that video of Harry begging the Disney head for a job for Meghan? They are DONE.
zappy2050 says
I don’t think she will strip them of their title. I see a plan that has Meghan and Harry working on this side of the pond (don’t see how that will stop the media treating them badly, but hey…. these aren’t the smartest people).
The queen as usual is solid – you want to go, GO. Let us work out the details.
The Royals who have left – have had to come running back and mooching. Let’s see how this goes.
BTW – I predicted all of this on this site weeks ago.
God save the queen!
Lindasu says
One thing all this has revealed clearly is how emotionally immature and unprepared for the world Harry really is; and how very dependent he is on Meghan. He was so damn easy for her to spot and manipulate. The many articles on his early life point out that he was sheltered after Diana’s death, the spare who was given A LOT of spare time and not many rules. His mess ups were cleaned up…and here he is again. Queen Elizabeth is smart and shrewd. She’s not done yet.
