Prince Harry and Meghan have been damned today after spending £2.4million of public money doing up their new home in the grounds of Windsor Castle with the cost expected to balloon to £3million.

The newlyweds moved out of Kensington Palace this spring amid reports of a rift with Prince William and his wife Kate, whose joint Royal Foundation with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex was also broken up last week.

The £2.4million 'substantial overhaul' of Frogmore Cottage - a gift to the couple from the Queen - was approved by Her Majesty but it is still not complete with the costs set to rise by up to £600,000 because of landscaping and more decorating.

The spending emerged as the Royal Household's 'Sovereign Grant' accounts were published today, following a year in which the Sussexes and the Cambridges have been dogged by reports of a major feud.

Let them eat caca.

Well that didn’t take life ng. Harry and William have been close their whole lives. Enter Meagan and...

From what I have seen, Meagan is a poisonous human being. She will be a continual source of turmoil. Life with a contentious woman is exhausting . . . I know from experience. She will eventually box him in to where he has no real choice other than divorce. That is the natural progression of a relationship with a person who is self-centered and selfish to the extreme. Harry, "you chose poorly", to play on a line from an Indiana Jones movie.

>>God Save the Queen.<<

Yes, and if I recall correctly, young Elizabeth served as a vehicle driver and mechanic during the war. Plus she loves horses & horse racing and her toddies, all in her favor to my thinking. For certain she has been a significant and important monarch.

> It is so hard to believe that so many Brits want to keep the royal family in place. Such a waste of money! <

I understand tradition. And without a queen you gotta have someone else as head of state. Based on all the crazies out there, a queen is your safest bet.

BUT...the queen is evidently doing nothing as the UK slides into Muslim-induced chaos. And Charles will do even less (see the picture below).

Yeah, I know. A monarch reigns but does not rule. Blah, blah, blah. But if a monarch cannot or will not act (or even speak out) as the country is overrun, what good is that system?

By the way, the next King of England:

They sure are a couple of royal mooches. High end welfare recipients.

‘I happen to be a big fan of Queen Elizabeth’

Me, too. She is the classiest lady on the planet. That being said, she still expects the taxpayers to foot the bills for lots of what the Royal Family does. Charles is/will be much worse. But I think William will be a good King. With Kate grounding him in reality, he should be able to change the Monarchy into a palatable Institution for Britain.

Gold digger Meghan can go suck eggs.

Psst! Monarchy sucks! Add some keeping up with the Kardaashians -- now what would you expect to pay?!?

[tennmountainman]

Both Harry and his slut are grifters.

That’s how you get and stay wealthy, use OPM. First rule of business, never use your own money.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Interesting observation. Is Megan a disruptive influence; did she “stir the pot” and create tension and cause a rift with these two brothers?????

Waiting for the tell all books, and/or movies made which will tell us the inside story.

“This marriage will not last. She will make a CAREER out of being the ex-wife of royalty.”

I still miss Princess (Sarah) Fergie! Even after she and Andrew split, she did a good job of reshaping her life and her girls turned out well.

To my eyes, she never really ‘cashed in’ on the royals, though I’m sure she has lacked for nothing all these years.

As an American liberal, Megan feels entitled, just saying...

[bgill]

Rulers always use everyone else’s money. That’s how they become so filthy rich.

Trump is the exception to the rule.

[bgill]

Harry and Meghan are in disgrace. The shine is wearing off faster than I thought it would.

Also, https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7178695/Royal-expert-slams-Meghan-Markle-updating-engagement-ring-band-piece-history.html . What an insult to Harry. When will he finally see the light?

[Tax-chick]

In terms of the royal family’s assets, that’s a rounding error.

But seriously, half the fun of supporting a royal family is enjoying the privilege of complaining that they live like royalty.

correction: As an AA woman of color trumps political leaning...brush up on current intersectional hierarchy. ;>)

[Boomer]

Raise your hand if you too are sick and tired of hearing about Harry and (especially) Meghan.

[HamiltonJay]

Well whether they stay together or split up... as long as she stays on that side of the pond, that’s fine with me.... They took her, no refunds.

I once lived next door to 2 brothers, we were one of the younger couples moving into the street, the bulk of the street were still occupied by the VETS who built/bought the homes under the GI bill after returning from WWII and starting their families.

Anyway, the 2 houses to my immediate right, if you were facing my house were brothers... they had built their houses next to each other, and they never talked. One day my wife was in our kitchen and heard screaming.... turns out the 2 wives (of the brothers) both in their late 70s if not 80s at that time, were screaming at each other....

Now at this time we didn’t know they were related... had just moved in. But found out from the neighbors that they were indeed brothers, and their wives hated each other. Back in their younger days cops would sometimes end up having to be called when they would get into it.

I can’t imagine that... Living next door to your brother, who obviously you had to have been close enough with to want to live next door to each other... to have your wives hate each other and rarely if ever talk....

£600,000 = US$762,900 for an updated engagement ring.

She is accumulating a large personal fortune at the expense of the British people, and since Harry has spent his life with people who weren't trying to steal everything that wasn't nailed down, he has no idea what is happening.

His serial dating didn't give him insight to female behavior and he thinks her excessive behavior is normal.
