I'm not sure Harkle sees it that way, they seem to want the privilege, but to me they seem vehemently opposed to the service part.
Personally, in the role there is no escaping the service part, in the old days release from service was the gallows or guillotine!
I do realise the two abdicated, and I believe they repaid taxpayers some sum of money, a noble gesture, but a pittance compared to what they have been awarded. I'm not sure it even amounted to $0.01 on the dollar!

Harry marrying the Hollywood wife has wrecked the party and drawn the media heat. If he had done the expected thing and married a traditional Royal robot wife who played the game under Royal house rules they could all be still enjoying the high life and exploiting their privileged positions as per the norm instead of looking over their shoulders waiting for the next Harry missile to land.

Weird passage in Harry’s book:
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/prince-harry-todger-princess-diana_n_63bf3ed8e4b0ae9de1c43a51
Trivia question. What’s Harry’s real first name?
A. Henry.

Take it one step further and say BLACK hollywood wife. That is where the trouble started.

It's funny I rarely think of the 'black' aspect of Meghan's heritage.
American-yes
Actress- yes
Black- rarely registers
Naturally if that trait was more obvious it probably would.
I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing :-\

I hope you're wrong. I'd give them the benefit of the doubt... doubt most (younger) Royals are racist. Personally, like Principal LODS, I've never seen Meghan as black, brown, yellow, white, red or chartreuse. In fact, like most Hollywood types, what stands out to me in terms of physical appearance are the polar white choppers in her cakehole.

I didn't know who Megan Markle was before it was pointed out publicly (didn't know her hollywood career). One of the first things that was reported was that she was black (or had african/american heritage). I didn't know at the time, nor really cared, but i remember it being reported like that and it striking me as weird that it was even mentioned.
