The concept of “working member of the Royal Family” is a requirement of the annual budgets allotted to the Royal Family for those duties.. including military titles for which members (Harry, in this case) are paid an annual stipend- a condition of Parliament’s laws on the Royal allotment. Which for non-monarchists has been a monetary touchy subject ie. the waste of money.
The Monarch sits at the top of the patronage, and decides the distribution.
They don’t want to live in the UK, made that plain, or him work as described in the announcement. Hence, he loses the titles and stipend. Makes perfect sense, and he has made a really bad mistake, both in the marriage to a certified grifter and loony, and becoming Hollywoodized “titled” fakes.
“The Monarch sits at the top of the patronage, and decides the distribution.”
Correct, which makes the premise of the headline misleading. They are not “Harry’s” military titles. The royal patronage titles belong to the monarch and are hers to gift. Mess with and flout any boss and company system and see what happens. Harry found out.
Good comment.
