Harry and Meghan no longer wants to live off their allowances. Do you want to live off your allowance from your mommy and daddy? (If they are still alive, if not, my apologies.)

I don't really blame Harry and Meghan for wanting to do their own thing (even though they are liberal, especially Meghan).

The allowances were payments from each living and they were expected to do the work of the Royals.

It’s not exactly as you’ve described it

Those allowances are paid in exchange for the Royal Family to stay out of politics, and serve the nation in a non-controversial ways. My guess is that it was not the idea of an allowance that bothered the Duke and Duchess, but rather the idea that they are to be silent on the issues that they are most passionate about. Certainly, they are entitled to endorse any causes, but they must do so without connecting it to the Royal Family, thus the forfeit of the titles and stipends.
