I've seen some disgraceful royal antics in
my time, but for pure arrogance, entitlement, greed, and wilful
disrespect, nothing has ever quite matched the behaviour of the 'Duke
and
Duchess of Sussex.'
I put inverted commas around those titles because I sincerely hope they won't exist much longer.
These two deluded clowns announced yesterday they were quitting life as senior royals.
In
a series of staggeringly pompous statements on their gleaming new
Hollywood-style website, they laid down the law to the Queen and to the
rest of us about exactly how things are supposedly going to work from
this moment on. To summarise, they want to stop being 'senior royals' with all the tedious duty that entails.
And instead, they now want to be a 'progressive' force within 'the institution'.
In
other words, they want to be super-woke celebrities (with all the
outrageous 'Do as we say not as we do' hectoring hypocrisy they've
already brought to that status) who get to keep all the trappings of
royal life without any of the hard, boring bits and the right to cash in
on their status however they choose. So, they want the glitz, the glamour, the splendour and the stupendous wealth….they just don't want to have to actually earn it.
What a pathetic joke.
It's only when you read the details of
this 'independence' that you realise what it actually means is they want
to live off Harry's dad's money, from Prince Charles and his Duchy of
Cornwall – which he only possesses by right of being the Queen's heir. They
have also informed us they intend to continue living for free, when
they grace the UK with their esteemed presence, at Frogmore Cottage,
their palatial home in Windsor that was gifted to them by the Queen and
which has been refurbished to their specifications at a cost to the
taxpayer of millions of pounds. Oh, and
they expect to continue having royal protection too wherever they
choose to live and travel – at further vast expense to the taxpayer.
And they'll want all the other stuff that goes with that like VIP royal travel.
How the hell has it come to this less than two years after a wedding that was greeted with global excitement and praise?
Two words: Meghan Markle.
To put it bluntly, she's an unsavoury manipulative social-climbing piece
of work who has inveigled her way into Prince Harry's heart and used
his blind love as a platform to now destroy everything he once held so
dear."
