“We get no money from the land now, nothing. But for us, it’s just not right houses like that are built there,” Chief Tanya Jimmy told the Sunday Mirror.

Brits settled on Vancouver Island around 1843.

Harry and Meghan spent six-weeks over the Christmas holidays at the posh palace, believed to be owned by a Russian oligarch.

And since the couple severed their ties with the Royal Family, it appears that Vancouver Island will be the pair’s base of operations for the foreseeable future.

They have said they plan to split their time between Canada and the U.K.

Meanwhile, the Mail on Sunday reported that it was Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, who was the driving force behind Megxit.

A friend of the yoga instructor squealed to the tabloid that Doria “silently” pushed the pair to quit the Royals.

“When Meghan and Harry announced they were walking away from their jobs as Royals to be financially independent, it immediately smacked of Doria. Being financially independent has always been important to her,” the source told the Mail.

“Harry, in particular, turns to her (Doria) for advice. She is like the Queen – she never complains and never explains.” ...

Right with emphasis on extortion. These two woke idiots are a perfect mark.

Doria is not the driving force. Heck, she has spent as little time with her daughter and grandson as she possibly can get by with.

Yes. Indigenous means first people there. By your definition, there are no indigenous Europeans either.

Perhaps the two grifters will be in need of another free mansion in Canada? Princess Harry and Duchess Difficult will live off everyone else so they don’t have to part with their cash.
