Fun fact we haven't mentioned yet, Charles is now the head of the Church of England. Basically the British Pope if you will. All because Henry VIII wanted a divorce.

The QM left him a sizable bequest because he was not going to be on equal financial footing with William and family. I'm guessing that the Queen also planned for him and his family. WEELLLLLLL, according to The Cut article that lives rent-free in my head, they weren't on such firm footing. They needed that Spotify deal or whatever to buy their Santa Barbara home. I mean, IDK what that means to rich people. Like now they could pash in cash? Who knows. I have private thoughts about this.

I am sure he has some money but not $$$$$ Aren't they moving to LA, too? That's going to cost a lot, even if you consider they'll make a profit off the sale of their current home. They're going to have to hustle (comparatively to what Harry previously used to) a bit to continue to afford private security and staff.

I have no sympathy for the mega wealthy suddenly discovering that the lifestyle to which they are accustomed is going to cost some money. What, you didn't have a tear falling from your face when a grown man on television said his dad cut him off? 😆

I am not arguing otherwise. I know a lot of the talk before was that they didn't need these deals because they had money and I don't think that is the case. I think they are rich, but it isn't like they are going to live off that money and not work. . I am sure I am not making sense, but of course they are rich.

Yeah, I know. But I'm assuming security costs a lot, and they have staff that I assume also costs a lot, and a certain lifestyle that also costs a lot. We don't know that the house they have was bought outright. They could have a mortgage. I am absolutely not saying they're suffering for funds. Just that they live a certain lifestyle that's expensive and, without consistent income, they could theoretically run out in a decade or some shit. I don't care about it. Just thinking out loud.

For the record I don't feel sorry for them. As someone who is looking for a new job because I am tired of not having money I get that they don't have those thoughts.
All I was saying is people expected them to come over here and not use their star status or whatever and I am saying that isn't the case. of course they could buy a comfortable house in the middle of LCOL Ohio and live for a while but they are still Harry and Meghan who need security detail and things. He said his money from him mother's inheritance paid for security.

Can you imagine if Harry and Meghan moved to like some suburb of Pensacola or somewhere equally unexpected and really tried to stay out of the public eye and just never work again. I’m interested in that parallel universe.

I just can’t with the “pity me, a cut off lad.” But they don't is what I am saying. Meghan especially has been talked about terribly for her Spotify podcast and "using her royal star power" to continue to be a celebrity.

Again they have more money then I could dream of and no they shouldn't cry about Charles cutting them off. I think when they did it was because he did it with no warning and that wasn't the plan. Plus he was paying for their security which again Harry is Harry and needs security.

They bought their house when mortgage rates were really low. Maybe they locked in a good rate and sat on their cash. That's what they should have done.

Okay, I honestly think we don’t disagree. I’m just riffing on the idea that Harry being hard up is wild. but I was the one that said I don't think they have the money people think they do so I wasn't saying he was hard up I was saying I think people think is net worth is a lot more than it is.

I just can’t with the “pity me, a cut off lad.” For me, it's not pity. It's just kind of interesting how different Harry's life is to what he grew up with just having handed to him. It will be interesting to see how it pans out for them in the future.

Yeah, it’s definitely a me thing. I struggle for money. I can’t deal with the “poor me my dad cut me off.” Meghan was already a millionaire in her own right, Harry has a couple of big inheritances. They’re not struggling.
