Feeling any more sympathetic to Meghan Markal after Oprah interview?

Most people invest far more than 35% of their wealth on their home.

 

Of course it's his money. WTF? Unless you are claiming he's a thief, in which case, he should be arrested.

 

I think he's just jealous of wealth. Your probably right, doesn't sound like a conservative to me.

 

He is a thief, in a sense. That wife of his is a gold-digging thief. But the money was legally taken from Charles.

Charles is probably very angry seeing them blow that money like that. Money which was part of the royal family and is his.

 

Apparently he doesn't believe women have a right to a divorce settlement or their children a right to inherited wealth.

 

If he got it legally, he didn't steal.

Words have definitions. This is so bizarre.

 

Obtaining something legally does not automatically mean you did not steal it.

Obviously the concept of morality means nothing to you.

 

So you admit the money was legally obtained now?
You still haven't explained how investing in property is blowing it though. Did you buy a house? Do you regret blowing that money or is your house worth more than you paid for it now?

 

Can you tell me a bit about your politics? I'm curious about the ideology that says one person is better equipped to tell a stranger how to spend their own money.

 

If I felt it was really his money, if he had earned it and could earn more of it, I would not be telling him how to spend it.

It's not really "his" money because that money was taken from Charles through unscrupulous means, and that money was really royal family family that Charles was entrusted with, to provide for members of the royal family throughout the generations. It only takes one irresponsible custodian, one broken link in the chain, to turn the royal family into paupers.

Considering the context of the situation, I think Charles could be more than forgiven for saying something distasteful about Harry's new bride and the baby.

 

That's exactly what it means.

 

I'm done with this truly bizarre conversation. I'm unclear about the ideology at play here. I think communist comes closest, but it's not a perfect match.

 

If it was truly a sound purchase from a mostly investment point of view, then I would be willing to withdraw my criticism.
But I doubt that it was.

Buying mansions are usually not investments. It usually costs you more money (a lot more money) then you end up getting out of it.

 

Divorcing a cheating husband who never loved her is bad taste?
He gets to be immoral because he's a royal?
Is that the standard you set for the royal family, they can treat their wives appallingly and not be expected to pay a divorce settlement because they are in a privileged position merely because of an accident of birth?
Well I'm glad the royal family no longer think like that.

 

It is surreal.
I think I can find something better to spend my time on too. Antiques Roadshow is about to start.

 

The British didn't know what to expect when Meghan entered into the Royal family but Meghan is entitled to her own opinions like everyone else. Right?

 

That may be true but they are still pro english

 

Now that she's no longer officially a royal, yes. As a royal, no.

 

The latest from Meghan who CLAIMS she does not like press coverage is thinking of running for president????? That's the way to stay out of the spotlight???

 

We're just going to start giving the car keys to anyone, I guess.

:eyeroll:

She played a legal assistant on a cable tv show. She's totally qualified.

 

There's a difference between a divorce settlement and a $50 million divorce settlement.

Your arguments are totally disingenuous here, and I have to believe you know they are.

 

It was a £17 million divorce settlement plus alimony of around £600k a year.
Harry shared a portion of that, plus the extra that Diana earned after the divorce, with his brother when he reached 21 and will get the remainder of his share when he gets to 40. Roughly £5 million on each occasion.
Now what was that you were saying about being disingenuous?

 

Doesn't that end up working out to around US$50 million?
Diana had about the equivalent of US$40 million on her death, and that was after she had already spent a sizeable chunk of it and given some to Harry.

 

I will never agree with your stance on mental health issues and I'm genuinely glad she made it through her personal struggle. Still, she HAD to have known what her life would be like. Either suck it up and deal with it or walk away and live a more private life.
The Oprah interview was just tacky, especially her (Oprahs) shock and awe reaction about the baby's color comment.

 

£21 million minus £8 million in inheritance tax leaving £13 million between Harry and William.
It was invested and by the time they could receive a payout it was worth about £20 million. They've only had about half of it so far.
The Queen Mother (their great grandmother) also left them about £14 million between them.
Meghan was worth about $5 million when she married Harry.
