If I was guessing, I would say he will most likely be offered well paying non-exec director roles with various companies and global charities.

He will be free to take several roles as they only require a day or so per month each. That will mean he can collect a few hundred thousand a year whilst still having a 'flexible' lifestyle.

Doing those sort of roles won't mean he has to be in the public eye much.
But to be frank apart from his name - what skill set would he bring as a non exec director?


I cannot see him bringing creative contribution and objective criticism to the table.

He would IMHO be punching way above his position to be a non exec

He’s not brought in to restructure HR or implement spending cuts, he’s advertising to raise awareness and get people spending/investing so they can be advocated with HRH.

It seems more akin to me to those dodgy pump and dump companies that used to pop up during the seventies and eighties that would always have some brainless and chinless aristocrat on the board to lend some tone to what was otherwise just very obviously a bunch of spivs rooking the unwary punter...

Exactly.

Simply having ‘Prince Harry’ as one of their directors or board will be enough.

He doesn’t actually have to do anything apart from shake hands at corporate events and meet a few people here and there.

Oh I get it. Basically act like a HRH!. Oh wait but isn't that what Harry / Megan don't want to do?
Just hope the light bulb moment with H&M happens soon.

If they don't have the money, what a pair of losers. With all the money they've had lobbed at them over the years, and cant even scrape together 2.3 mil between them. That's less than half the cash Charles has been giving him every year for 20 odd years!

Sounds like they are living off credit and cards etc, no doubt that's the "modern way". Like these tts in the paper that earn £120k and have to go to food banks!!

Well she's got her US tax bills to pay next don't you know (didn't give her US citizenship up did she, schoolgirl error).

Anyway the Frogmore bill pales into insignificance next to the $20million/year security cost that's being bandied around this morning.

Agreed.

What a truly pitiful existence, milking an easy life simply because he was born into the British royal family. He could be spending his time working on worthy causes helping improve people's lives in far less privileged circumstances.

But then again from his choice of bride we can see he is not the sharpest tool in the box. All the lovely aristocratic blood lined ladies he would have had access to and look which way he went.

Nothing as blind as love eh.

I really did keep an open mind and wished them the best but what a truly embarrassing situation this is all turning out to be. I would love to be a fly on the wall and listen to William & Kate's dinner talk. I cannot see things improving for both of them in the USA, especially after Trump romps home for another term. They might hide in a corner of California somewhere in a safe woke echo chamber.

Didn’t he have a brief thing going on with sultry songstress Ellie Goulding?
From the admittedly little I’ve seen of her, she strikes me as far more likely to have made the switch from celebrity to royalty. At least she’s from the correct side of the Atlantic too and will therefore have a far better idea of what Windsor PLC is really all about.

I suppose the difference would be the lack of media involvement. Might get a pic in the company newsletter or website for a corporate handshake sesh but it wont be in all the womens mags, mainstream news etc ripping them apart for how they look, what they wear etc etc

Indeed.

We'll see what the situation within the family is, or any tensions in the family, sooner rather than later given the age of DOE, as likely at best he's got no more than a few yrs given he'll be 99 in a few months time.

You'd think Harry will attend funeral whenever that is, but will she, will they be sitting with the rest of the family etc.,etc

That's when we'll find out how deep the rift is now in the House of Windsor.

Sad whenever such a thing happens in a family, but seen something similar within my own family.

Maybe, this is exactly what Harry has been planning for years, find someone so unsuitable that she becomes his ticket out of it?
