Delingpole: #Megxit! Ex-Prince Harry Got Woke, Now He’s Broke…
Breitbart ^ | 19 Jan 2020 | James Delingpole

How are the mighty fallen!

This time a year ago, Prince Harry had the world at his feet. He was a handsome prince with a beautiful wife and a healthy male heir on the way, plenty of money, a free, five-bedroomed ‘cottage’ in a piece of England’s finest real estate, a dashing war record from two tours in Afghanistan, bags of honorary titles — including Captain General of the Royal Marines — all the cachet of being a senior player in the world’s grandest Royal Family but little of the responsibility (his big brother William is heir to the throne, so the pressure is off there), with plenty of spare time for frequent private jet jaunts round the world to hang out with celebrity chums like Sir Elton John.

Now, he’s a nobody. Or at best, an ex-Someone. Sure he gets to keep his aristocratic courtesy-title the Duke of Sussex, but he no longer retains the rank of royal prince or the honorific ‘His Royal Highness’; he has to pay back the £2.4 million that the UK taxpayer spent doing up his ‘cottage’; he has lost the role of Captain General — and all his other honorary military titles; he’ll no longer be paid to represent the Royal Family at official events; he’s now possibly even less famous than his wife, who wasn’t exactly A-list to begin with being only the ex-supporting-star from a fading TV show in its seventh series…

He’s worth 35m pounds and she’s worth $3.5 million. They each will have book deals in 2020 and Netflix to boot. In 2 years, they will be living in Malibu.

They will make more money from their pix on magazine covers than I would make in 10,000 years. Also, the TV talk shows will pay them to look royal and say something vacuous and inane.

Time to dump the concept of inherited political power (”monarchy”).

It’s Edward VIII redux. He lived OK for the rest of his life, IIRC.

Starting when? From the date of their marriage or the date the Queen Mum granted his wish and tossed his little bitch ass out of the Monarchy?

Prince Harry is broke? No worries!

Harry should just take Joe Biden’s advice, and learn how to code. Maybe Meghan can take the same class. Then they could help each other with the homework.

There not broke. Diana left him about 13 million, and the Queen Mother left him an inheritance. Altogether Harry’s worth about 21 million.

“His Royal Highness’; he has to pay back the £2.4 million that the UK taxpayer spent doing up his ‘cottage’”

The only Royals to get off of the dole.

They should be honored.
