The question of patronages has finally reared its head. Once their royal status is effectively stripped, then they can still be patrons of those that are not associated with The Queen, they just won't be royal. They have effectively tarnished the exclusive nature and prestige of having a royal patron.

The DM has contacted all the bodies concerned, and all bar WellChild have been reluctant to comment. WellChild have worked with Harry for years, and he likes them because he can use them whenever he wants to make a speech on anything. They like him because he was always available, and would host fundraisers. For those who haven't been on the other side of fundraising dinners or award ceremonies, it's not so glittery at all. The pressure is on to get donations from the tables (in addition to buying the table), and where do you think all the money comes from to pay for glittery events and dinners and the staff (they all get paid well)?

He can keep Invictus, because he founded it (with help), but as for the others? He is still a Prince by birth, so long as he isn't representing The Queen, no one cares.

As for MM, let her keep the dogs and their £10 a month, and the second hand clothes charities because those are tarnished and sold their souls for PR. The others need to reassigned.

I also see The Times is saying that MM met Oprah once, but no one says how or where. It could have been a 'Hi' at a party once, and that counts as meeting. If it is an attempt to say that they knew each other, then that failed. Everyone knows at those parties that you 'meet' so many, but it's all for appearances.

Whilst I welcome opinions and discussion, I don't allow conspiracy theories or people to hijack posts with their own agendas. As such, suspect posters (as in those who don't even sign the petition but are prolific posters) will get short bans.

This is because it is unfair to those who wish to post and discuss issues, and when I can see a poster has their own agenda, then that stops. I have already banned several posters who have made others uncomfortable.
