Harry and Meghan are already worth £35million – the public does not need to continue bankrolling them
HOW do Harry and Meghan imagine Britain will react if they now travel the world amassing a billion-dollar Kardashian-sized fortune from the SussexRoyal brand they have cooked up?
Their plan for global domination as Instagram’s “progressive” royal power couple looks fatally flawed.
First it relies on them still being bankrolled by an increasingly enraged public — as they magnanimously “work to become financially independent” despite already being worth sums most of us cannot imagine.
Second, because when they finally deem their wealth vast enough to cut that umbilical cord, their livelihood will still centre around their image as senior royals . . . a role they have quit.
The idea of them busily enriching themselves by flogging their part-time royalty to advertisers will disgust taxpayers — both on principle and because this entitled pair will never refund a penny back into Treasury coffers.
The UK public will justifiably demand they be cut off at the ankles, stripped of the titles on which they trade.
What then for plain Meghan and Harry Wales, the narcissist formerly known as Prince?
Who will listen then to their vapid sermons? They might fancy themselves as the new Clintons or Obamas — but they have not earned their platform or status.
They were born into it, or married into it, but gave it up when it all looked too dull, too hard and not enough fun.
Diehard fans will stick by them. They will doubtless make big money. But the firestorm of criticism they have ignited here will become an inferno.
It is a disastrous mess and may get worse. The couple’s assumption about the public continuing to fund round-the-clock security in Canada looks premature — and must be reviewed.
Harry is worth £30million, Meghan another £5million. How much richer must they be before they pay that bill?
Brexit bells
WHY is the Government still so coy about celebrating the moment of Brexit?
Leaving the EU at 11pm on January 31 will be a huge milestone in our modern history, the end of our 47-year membership and the starting gun for negotiating a lucrative new era of trade.
The Sun wants Big Ben to bong. We want bunting, fireworks and, yes, commemorative Royal Mail stamps.
We understand the feelings of Remainers. But there were plenty of them among the 14million who voted last month to “get Brexit done”.
MOST READ IN OPINION
The big day is less than three weeks away following its final passage through the Commons on Thursday.
How typical of Labour, given one last chance to vote for the deal securing our exit, to remain childishly opposed to it.
Defeated in the referendum, crushed at the election. Still they have learned nothing.
