I have no idea if they are paid for these shows, and if they will be donating the money.
I think they do a lot of charity work and support the groups that they are passionate about. I believe that is what really bonded them in the first place.
I don't think they are suffering for money though, although who really knows? I guess the Queen must have left Harry quite a sum in her Will.?
I am not a Royalist and I have no reason to take any sides with this Royal family. I can only talk of what I see and how I feel about what has happened. Obviously very wealthy people are disconnected to the every day Joe and Jane. Other senior Royals have done some very shady and unsavory things and they were protected by the Firm. Apparently they have some kind of deal going on with the Press. Who knew huh?
I just don't like seeing people being victimized, hounded and hated just for being of color or for who they chose to love.
Princess Diana always spoke of jealously among the Royals. Diana was very popular and apparently that annoyed Prince (King) Charles tremendously. He wanted to be the center of attention and not her. He never respected her and thought of her as nothing basically. It seems the same thing was happening with Meghan. The more senior Royals were protected and at her expense.
Best to just watch the 6 shows for a fuller understanding of what really went down.

I did watch the last 3 episodes last night. The more I learn of what they have been through, the more sympathy I have for them. I mean, yeah sure, they are privileged people with money, but that doesn't mean they don't have feelings right? Did anyone else watch it all? The whole 6 shows? I do think it was/is a love story. Is Meghan a gold digger? I don't think so. They have both been through a lot, I never knew that Meghan miscarried, due to all the stress they were under, that is very sad. My take from all of this is that - envy, hate, bigotry, and misogyny are all alive an well sadly. And it's even more evident to me that the Royal household and it's keepers are full of secrets, and all about Keeping Face. No matter who they have to throw under the train in order to keep things going, as they have always gone. There is such a sordid history in that family, I can't understand why they are still held in such a high regard. I like the message Meghan has put out there to young girls, which is that being a princess is not all it's cracked up to be. C'mon, let's get real once and for all. I don't think walking away from royal responsibilities has to mean they have to hide under a rock and never speak out again. People are allowed to change their minds, and as you said set the record straight, if and when they want to. Don't we all tend to recharge our batteries, when we walk away from a job, group, or event of some kind? Easy to believe Charles was jealous of his own wife's popularity. She did have something he totally lacked, GOOD LOOKS.

what I did see made me think that perhaps because the media has maligned these two for so long, they wanted to set the record straight. Nothing more. That's exactly it and they have said as such. Good for them I say. No one should have to suffer in silence. The untrue and horrible things that were said about them were uncalled for. So many were after Meghan, she even had threats to her life. And she thought about ending it all. No one should be pushed to that point. I am so glad that they are so happy and content now, living in sunny California with their two adorable kids, and surrounded by trusted and good friends and family. That's what life is really all about. As for the rest of the Royals, who didn't stand up for them or protect them and maybe even helped in pushing untruths about them to the public, well I think they should be ashamed of themselves. Really the Royals have had their day. The whole institution is going downhill very fast. I agree. Sometimes a story needs to be told, especially when a narrative has been at play. I've watched them and I feel for them. I hope they continue to tell their truth, maybe it will help others who are being told to sit down, shut up and take it. The sad thing is they were being sacrificed to make others look better. I lived that as a child and learned that the best therapy is not hiding secrets for others. I'll definitely buy the book "Spare".

And with this new book "Spare" coming out that Harry has written as a Memoir, I think shit is going to hit the fan even more.(excuse my language). I really think that the Royal family has had it's day. The Queen, was perhaps keeping them all in check, but now that she is gone, it's all fair game.

I will be looking out for that book as well. Nobody should ever have to go on suffering in silence.

Frankly I do think that Harry has gone a bit far with all the stuff he is saying in his book.
I mean it probably is all true, but why tell the world about it? The only motive I can think of is revenge or money.
Does he feel good about telling his side? Perhaps, but he is known world wide and he must know that he will get a lot of backlash due to it. There are still may die hard Royalists around and they will cover for the Royal family no matter what. So if Megan was 'fed to the wolves'- yes I can believe it. The Royals first and foremost will look after their own, as long as they do not break rank and stay silent. That is how they have survived all these centuries.

I think the Royals are an interesting lot.
In Britain they don't have Hollywood and all that glamour that goes with it. But they do have the Royal family.
I wonder why people need anyone to look up to in that way? I mean why? It is all to do with an escape from reality or is how these famous people live and conduct themselves important in some way?
Anyway, they do make good conversation I think!

Prince Harry: I always felt different to rest of familyPrince Harry has said he "always felt slightly different" to his family, and that his late mother felt the same. In an online conversation about grief, the Duke of Sussex said he feared losing memories of his mother Diana when he started therapy. He also said he made sure to "smother" his children with affection to avoid passing on any "traumas" or "negative experiences" from his own upbringing. "I felt a huge weight off my shoulders," he told Dr Maté, describing the book as an "act of service" to help others break the taboo about speaking about mental health problems. www.bbc.com/news/uk-64850024

Harry and Meghan have been caught out in loads of PROVABLE LIES.
And frankly I've known other people who lost their parents at his age (or younger) and they don't come out with the self-pitying stuff he does.
His 'interview' was more like a recorded psychoanalytic session.
And he knows the royals aren't going to sue him for libel no matter how many lies he spins.
I'm glad Charles is our king and that William is the heir to the throne rather than his brother who's turned into a complete looper.
I'm beginning to wonder if Harry is schizophrenic.
In the meantime, God Save the King!

He isn't much to look at, she must have married him for his money.
All the Royals are ugly. dp57d8KTeEZjIAgBaB9L

So much hate for Prince Harry and his wife. "Vulgar","Greedy" and "repellant" are the words that came out of Tom Bowers mouth.

Get a life people! Who gives a rats ass about privileged royals His book is selling millions of copies though. So I guess many are interested in his life and that of the Royals. I know what you mean though about the 'privilege' aspect of it. It really is another world, the problems they (the royals) have as opposed to us the every day person.

Constitutional monarchies are the best models for heads of state.
I don't hate Harry or Meghan; I just wish they'd stop being such hypocrites.
If it wasn't for his royal background no one would bother with his self-pitying nonsense.
And he showed a clear lack of empathy when he talked about the Taliban fighters he'd killed in terms that showed he clearly thought of them as less than human.

Didn't meant to sound hostile.😳 Both sides of my family come from England. Just not my thing I guess 🤷
