If anyone here truly believes Harry will give a toss about what he loses when compared to what he gains then they are really out of touch with reality.

Brand Managers and the like are already clamouring at his door and if he wants it, he can make far, far more wealth than he would had he stayed as he was. But who says he wants or needs more than he already has stashed away? He now gets to proceed on his terms rather than to a strict, regimented diary and gets to meet and endorse only those he really wants to. He has far more freedom now than he was born into and expected to fulfil.
Lost some titles? Sure, some will go with a sense of loss but soon overshadowed by the aforementioned freedom to have greater choice in what he does.

It's dead easy it seems for some to harp on about the apparent luxuriant lifestyles of the Royals, be hugely jealous, begrudge them it, and then bleat about how they would relish the chance to do the job and how 'daft' Harry is to walk away from it when they speak from absolute ignorance.
Making sense won’t work around here. Off with his head.

No but plenty have got a shiny penny back on their lemonade bottles before getting up half an hour before they went to bed to dig their gardens for victory.

Does that count?

He was very clear last night how upset he is with "lost some titles" - particularly the military ones...

I think you'll find a lot of that is PR.
How do you think the media would react if he said that losing military titles meant fk all to him?

This thread has become a parody of itself.

At least the veneer has come off now. It's openly about nostalgia.
Are you suggesting it used to be so much better?

From a quick glance at the Daily Mail I see Piers Morgan is still on it.

Bloke's not right.

So he's a liar as well as an idle scrounger?

I see that Piers has had his say again
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7907757/P...

Yes I know it is the Daily Mail and I know it is Piers Morgan but he does seem to give quite a thorough collection of links (albeit to other Daily Mail stories) to back up what he is saying, and some suggestions (e.g. the Wimbledon photo incident, which involved no racism at all as far as I can see) as to why the public don't like her.

Anyway the ever reliable Cold War Steve on twitter has provided a mock up of what Piers Morgan's bedroom might look like



Found this article about the pro Meghan Markle bot net to be interesting

I've never heard of macleans.ca as a site but apparently it is well known and respected in Canada

Piers Morgan said:
And to avoid any ambiguity, he insisted: 'What I want to make clear is we’re not walking away.'

At this point, I regret to say I burst out laughing.
Harry's quite correct.

No one walks to Canada.

I remember hearing "avocado" being thrown about a few times and I always thought it was mentioned just as an example of the kind of petty random crap the media throw out when they want to smear someone.

How Meghan's favourite avocado snack - beloved of all millennials - is fuelling human rights abuses, drought and murder

It's a real story yikes

Bloke is getting paid handsomely for these articles, only takes him 5 mins to churn them out.

You aren't right for not realising it's a paid gig and clicks are through the roof wink

And the angry men of NP&E will be shaking their fists about it.

Young people eat those knobbly pears too, you know!

One of the most ridiculed men in the most ridiculed paper in Britain is bad mouthing Meghan? I can’t see her losing much sleep!

Yeah I get that.

I just wonder at what point any sense of pride he might have once had might kick in and cause him to ask himself "Why am I doing this?".

Apparently not though.

He is not a particularly attractive middle aged fat bloke living a celeb lifestyle.

Why would he change, he gets to hang out with leading younger actresses wink
