...and perhaps a nice drive...

...to the Tower of London....

“Could you stand right in front of this desk? Sorry about the plastic on the floor; I’m having some painting done.”

[EvilCapitalist]

That sounds a little like Lethal Weapon 2.

[353FMG]

Do it. Free chow.

[ealgeone]

How do Harry, who will never ascend to the throne, and Meghan, a D list actress, warrant speaking fees of 500k to 1,000k??

[lee martell]

If true that “the Queen is remarkably relaxed about Harry and Meghan’s money making ventures.” that probably means the Queen expects that the Royal Family will be skimming some of those profits from Harry’s share.

This may explain why they are being allowed to market themselves based on being Royals, in spite of shabby treatment from the couple.
When all is said and done, passive income is still money, no matter where it comes from.

There are no royal duties. Welcome to being an ordinary person, “prince.” In reality, there is no royalty and we’re all ordinary people.

[Bon mots]

This is it...

[MinorityRepublican]

Prince Harry can probably charge $100,000 for a 30 minute speech, meet and greet for the other 30 minutes. Not a bad gig for one hour work.

The market for leftist drivel is lucrative.

“Harry and Meghan will be the highest-paid speakers that exist on the corporate market.”

Really? What in God’s name in their history makes them such stunning speakers they get that kind of money for an appearance?

We live in interesting times.

"Ronn Torossian, CEO of New York-based firm 5W Public Relations, said he expects the couple to have made between $500,000 and $1million (£387,000 and £775,000) from the appearance."

Corporatism is an ugly mistress! Long live small businesses and fiscal temperance in the face of hyper-covetness consumerism along with out-of-control public spending.

They reportedly got 500K for appearing at that recent finance gig in Miami.

Hope the Palace gets the family and friends discount.

[mewzilla]

My bad. South Beach.

[ArcadeQuarters]

It’s a fame obsessed culture. Some rich people are willing to pay to mingle with the famous.

[PghBaldy]

The Queen will arrange a deal like Jimmy did for Karen Hill in “Goodfellas,” where she was looking to get some “clothes,” down some alley...

[ealgeone]

Good money if you can get it!

Wonder what AOC thinks about this? Or Bernie?

[FreedomPoster]

Close enough. Unless you live in Miami, it’s pretty much all the same.
