Maybe he should have married The Pope.
They sure talk like two people who have no clue of the life of luxury they have been handed.

He’d have to kill his father, his older brother, and as things stand now, his two nephews and his niece, in order to become king...after his grandmother dies. In other words, NOT ever gonna happen!

While the monarchy for centuries is funded by taxpayer money.
Right Harry? What a hypocrite a$$.

I owned 156 acres of gorgeous wilderness, including old growth forest teaming with wildlife, facing a half-mile on a big river and a mile on a deep water creek. My wife and I (faithful recyclers, by the way) intended to keep it always as a sanctuary.

The environmentalists decided to control it for me.

They made my life miserable. At one point they tried to claim that the fire lanes were wetlands. When I had to rebuild my dock, on the creek, they said I would have to tear down all the neighbors' docks, barge the materials up the creek, and then rebuild the neighbors' docks. (This is their mentality and the extent of their intellect.)

When I told them that if they didn't leave me alone I would have to sell the property and that the only person who would buy it would be a developer who would raze the forests. They didn't care. They wanted to be bigshots and bullies; that's all they cared about. (This was the extent of their morality.)

After about five years of struggling with these people, a group of developers offered me four times what I had paid for the property. I sold it to them.

Of course the first thing they did was cut down the forest.

When I was moving my last possessions out, I heard the first buzz saws start up. It was like the last scene of Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard. I wept bitter tears.

Today the property is nothing but stumps and weeds. The developers failed to sell the lots on the property.

I don't know what happened to the animals who had lived there.

There was a beautiful family of deer, all females but one young male. We loved watching them run across the property. A hunt club was down the road; maybe they went there. My family and I don't hunt or eat meat. We didn't allow hunting or fishing on the property.

There were also foxes, possums, raccoons, armadillos. The forest was teeming with wildlife. I don't know what happened to them.

When Prince Harry starts lecturing about conservation and climate change, I feel like telling him that I know a lot more about it than he does.

I also know a lot more about "environmentalists" and bigshots and bullies.

Harry et al. are making a good case for the independence of Scotland, Wales, and Cornwall; the unification of Ireland; and the abolition of the English monarchy.

I saw on Jeopardy the other day, that Hillary Duff is a direct descendant of Robert The Bruce.

They should make her queen, bring in some new blood.

Hypocrite... why don’t you move your wife and kids into a 1200 sq ft one bathroom home without air conditioning and just a few electric space heaters for heating. Give up the SUVs and limos and drive a single economy car. Get your healthcare from the NHS instead of a private clinic and give up all travel in private jets and any trips overseas. Do that and then lecture us about cutting back to save the environment.

He’s way down the line for the kingship, so that’s probably never going to happen.

The Queen has checked his DNA and told him he will NEVER be king because Charles isn't his father. That's why Harry has been poking the queen in the eye ever since.

Not only that - Harry isn't very bright. Trees are a crop. If you don't cut them down, you can't sell them. Plus old trees won't produce as much oxygen as younger trees that are still growing.

Are you sure he is descended from Edward I? I don’t think so.

He isn’t, but then, many posters here post about things they know nothing about, as though it were “fact”; sadly.

There's NOTHING particularly "Yiddish" about Brooks' accent; it's a form of old Brooklynese.

Neither was there any clue alluding to any Brooksian script; unlike:"It's good to be king"; for instance.
