Megan and Harry need to understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch

TOM HARWOOD

In the land of celebrity you can freely opine on politics and appeal to the woke with the only downside being serial election losses for your preferred candidates and an occasional Ricky Gervais rant. Royalty is different. Few get to choose that gilded life, so those who do must have a deeper sense of what it means. A royal life is not one of constant glamour and politicking around trendy causes, it is one of duty to your country.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. Everything comes at a cost, and if the Duke and Dutchess want to keep the benefits and ditch even more of the duties then they have another thing coming. It should come as no surprise that the Queen is disappointed. Megan and Harry acted surprised that people wanted to see their baby. They would rather not live in the UK. They want to fight political battles. They would rather not be seen or carry out their public facing role. That is clearly an unsustainable situation."
