They probably already have a foundation established and they will choose, or have chosen, a worthy cause for the foundation and they will raise a lot of money. They will live extraordinarily well. This. 90% of people don't know how extraordinarily rich American celebrities are. Twenty years ago they didn't do many domestic endorsements for various reasons. They'd go overseas to do that. It's different now. Just one famous female celebrity can make $30M a year doing on endorsement for a cosmetics brand. Jennifer Anniston makes trash movies but that's only she can stay relevant and make $50M to $100M per year in endorsements. She's been doing that for 10 years. Combines that with Friends residuals and she's easily made $500M over the past decade. (Marble would be perfect for the cosmetic category is if she isn't fielding offers from multiple brands, she will be soon.) The Kardashians are vapid and useless but they've created a river of money that will last another decade at least. Even Jennifer Garner prolly makes $5M per year just on those Capital One ads. Oprah will create a seat on the money train for Megan. Prince Valium doesn't have to do anything.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex chose to move to Windsor for various reasons. Their previous residence of Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace could not accommodate their growing family. Right — there is no way that merely _part_ of Kensington Palace could accommodate a family of three. You see, they just dealt with hardship the same way everyone else does. By moving into a separate palace. Their struggle really reflects the experience of the common man.

I mean, she's no Oscar winner but she's worth about $5M on her own from various acting gigs. She was raised by a single mom and has a degree from Northwestern. She's spoken out for years (much longer than she's been with Harry and well before she was famous) about gender equality and women's rights - look at this article about how she was profiled on a kids' news channel as a child. Along with their standard vitriolic treatment of celebrities they don't like, the British tabloid press has been unabashedly racist in much of their coverage of her. Look at this Daily Mail article as one example, from when they had just started dating. I mean, this is just the headline: Quote EXCLUSIVE: Harry's girl is (almost) straight outta Compton: Gang-scarred home of her mother revealed - so will he be dropping by for tea? Just looking at this thread there's a lot of evidence why their decision to step back and spend half their time in North America isn't just to be celebrities here. Her mom lives here and they have a baby who, I'm guessing, they don't want raised where all he's going to hear is how his mom is a money-grubbing whore who only cares about wealth and fame.

Harry has committed to helping veterans in particular and I think that’s great. Dude actually served which is more than a lot of us can say. But trying to rationalize your existence by explaining away the minutiae of your financial arrangement within the royal family on a slick new website isn’t the best look. People realize that you are privileged. Some people have a problem with it, others don’t. Why give a fuck? Just stay out there and keep doing the good work.

Agreed. A hereditary head of state and royalty is a silly thing to have in this day and age, but they have it. Title comes with a state function to go with legal and ethical obligations. There’s one way to get out of it, which is to fully abdicate all title, and all income and property associated with the title. You can’t just “step back” from a Dukedom. That’s like “stepping back” from Vice President or Parade Grand Marshall. Either be it or don’t be it.

Of course every tabloid out there is going to make drama. "Harry's wife is amazing!" is not a headline that sells. Besides all this, most of y'all are acting like this whole thing was Meghan's idea when even a cursory glance through the tubes shows that Harry has never been completely on board with living the life of a royal. He didn't ask for it, and for everyone's comments about how she needs to deal because she knew what she was getting into, Harry didn't. The heir and the spare, and all that. Being with an American gives him a perfect excuse to back out of some of the limelight. I don't know, I just can't get up in arms about someone wanting to do their own thing and leave the family business. And to that point, to those saying you can't be a duke part-time, it would be SO MUCH WORSE if they actually gave up their titles. Ever since Diana, the British monarchy has been slowly moving away from tradition. This whole thing looks to me like another example of that.
