If you were King Charles III, what counsel would you give Prince Harry?

The royal family is a joke. They do nothing and are worth less than nothing. They are the world’s
most expensive clown show. Harry knows this and I admire him for forging his own path. For all the sh*t everyone gives the French they figured this out a long time ago and killed their last monarchs. The Brits keep it around but it’s nothing more than a novelty tourist attraction for them.
We all understand a monarchy is not the way to go, but Harry & Megan are still receiving benefits (financially & otherwise) while continuing to trash Harry's family. Phony anger while being partially subsidized by King Charles. If Harry & Megan really disagree with the monarchy then completely severe your ties and get on with your new life. To do otherwise is absolutely hypocritical.

The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail,
And you are stay’d for. There; my blessing with thee!
And these few precepts in thy memory
See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportioned thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch’d, unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,
Bear’t that the opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express’d in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man,
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are of a most select and generous chief in that.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine ownself be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell: my blessing season this in thee!
Apropos and a cool post on your part.

Charles? It’s the people of England subsidizing all of them. Harry - like the others - is entitled to certain benefits by birth and isn’t equipped or in a position to do a whole lot more than he is. He has a family to care and provide for. I’m not saying he’s a big hero or anything but Charles is a twit and I think Harry is more upset with him than the actual monarchy.

You are wrong. There are numerous real estate holdings, art, Jewelry, large sums of money that are the sole property of the Windsor family. Harry is paid out of a fund that the King controls. Yes, the monarchy does receive $ through parliament for employees that serve the monarchy, upkeep of the palaces, security, travel, etc. It is kind of a quid-pro-quo system where the U.K. gov't benefits from the tourist dollars generated through the monarchy. The Brits have chosen that system.

Exactly Rickster. A monarchy seems repulsive to many of us, but it has been the British way for centuries and it is an integral part of who they are as a people. For the most part, the institution has served them well, at least for most of the past century. If that is the system they want, it's their call.

Not nearly as simple as you describe. The Brit’s way has been much more stable than the French. Great Britain is very supportive of the monarchy. It serves and serves a purpose.

All he's done is trade on the family's fame- if he had actually gone out and worked for a living, I'd be a little more impressed.
Yeah he doesn’t want the fame and notoriety of being a Royal but he is in fact trading 100% off of that - total phony. I do give him credit for serving in the military which is about the only useful thing he has ever done.

Harry hasn’t received any money from the Royals since 2018, when he basically received a $6mm severance of sorts.

Well if someone or some entity gave “most” of us here a $6mm severance package I believe that “most” of us would have the good sense to refrain from making derogatory comments about our benefactor. In other words, don’t take the money unless you’re an entitled hypocrite that bites the hand that feeds you.

Poor take given the treatment he and his family endured prior. Unless you’re a fan of racist comments that is.

Actually I’ll still disagree yet accept that they and in particular her received prior racist comments. The lump sum payment was essentially a bribe. The Royal family, unless they’re more inbred and stupid than I believe they are, were probably convinced that Harry would be a good soldier and toe the line. No one pays a ball buster money to facilitate continued ball busting unless they’re complete idiots. So assume from that what you may.
I’ll even play fly on the wall and surmise that Harry was cool with it. He just was probably too naive to understand the anger of a woman scorned. Also in fairness she was dragged thru the mud. But that’s why you pay the bribe, because this nonsense is bad for business. I’m just going to expand my original view. They’re all hypocrites, scamming what they may with out having to do an honest day’s work, everyone of them.

Why not? Don’t recall seeing any denials….
"Have you stopped beating your wife?" Denials only draw more attention to a story> Personally, I don't believe anything that the grifter has to say, but your mileage may vary.

But he’s doing so without all the power, comfort, and wealth that comes with toeing the line. No matter who he married that is a massive sacrifice. All the royals are grifters.
Yes Harry is barely getting by working at 7 11.

Why would any
I like that young man but he seems to be not following his path.

Why would anyone take advice from Charles who is a wife cheater and a psychologically damaged soul who has chosen the monarchy over his own children? In other words Charles is a notoriously cold fish.

Harry is a fine regular guy and had the cajones to tell the British tabloids to stick it.

Right? How long, as a husband and father, do you deal with this bullsh*t?

First thing, wake up Harry and realize your wife doesn't give a rat's *** about your and never has. Actually it is worse than that. She hates your family and she hates you. Let that sink in then you will have to decide what to do next.

I mean, it’s easier for sailors - 100 men go to sea and come back 50 couples….*

*Grew up on Marine bases and know this is in poor taste, but recall my dad and his Marine buddies joking with sailor colleagues with this ‘insult’…

It’s tough being surrounded by seamen.

All in good fun. Want to know what they really think, ask a Vietnam vet about destroyers and gunfire support.
