Prince Harry

[scifisam]

I've no sympathy for the Windsor brood at all, but it seems most such cases get paid off outside court. So I am taking some minor pleasure from knowing this is a case the papers won't be able to settle for money, due to a combination of this family not needing it, and the fact that he has a *lot* of emotional reasons to pursue issues of press intrusion to the bitter end in court. It would be sad if the rulings that come out only protect rich celebs and not normal people, but there may be the possibility of the rulings doing something to protect the innocent as well as the Windsors.

I agree with that. If even people as powerful as the royals can't stop tabloids carrying on with this crap, ordinary people have no hope.

I can imagine these two abdicating their roles and fucking off to just be celebs.

I am tempted to read between the lines of this BBC royal correspondents article, it has a curious and unsympathetic tone in places.

'An irreparably changed relationship' for princes

And Leveson seems to have mostly gone down the memory hole.

Perhaps also a subtle hint of 'the beatles have broken up, lets blame the wives' in royal press coverage these days.

Tbh I think their argument as reported sounds a little thin, though I expect they are using some very high powered (priced) lawyers who have thought it out to a bit more detail than is seen here. In fact if it is on the basis of this copyright thing and it wins that would be a really awful precedent, that if someone sent you a letter you weren't allowed to publish what it said.

They should get Zane Specter Litt on the case.

"William understands that the newspapers and broadcasters are a hugely important part of getting the message out."

What message is that?

Isn't it: "Keep paying your taxes you fucking proles."

Heh, Harry's retiring from doing fuck all in order to spend more time doing fuck all. Gawd bless 'im.

I have written to the queen suggesting Harry be posted to the south atlantic industrial zone

He can get a baa job as a shepherd in the falklands pending his transition to penguin feed

The duchess of sussex has accepted a role promoting the benefits for former people in the saiz, where they can be much more in touch with nature and meet penguins at close quarters. The fact this will be post mortem is superfluous at this stage.

I am sure Megan can earn money in civvy street as she until recently was doing just that, but what can Harry do exactly?

Who has won here ? The gutter press or Harry&Megan?

Well he inherited about £10m in cash from his mum, plus whatever else he's got his hands on over the years, so I wouldn't worry he'll probably get by

He doesn't have to do anything.

It's a really weird statement isn't it? The idea that they aren't already 'financially independent' by any sane measure is baffling, as is the talk of future 'collaboration'. fucking odd. they're aliens.

 

[William of Walworth]

I had to check the BBC to catch up with the above posts ....

And here (also BBC) is the statement itself

Another few years of saving and he might be able to afford a house in Vancouver.

They should move to Nebraska. If you want to drop off the face of the earth, this is the place to be. It worked for Saul Goodman.
