Clearly. The Marie Antoinette jewelry collection is just a bonus.

Stepping Down From The Crown Is Proving To Be Quite Lucrative For Prince Harry And Meghan Markle
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle didn't just quit working for the royal family, they found a better gig.

By Emma Freire

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the former duke and duchess of Sussex, have taken America by storm. Their arrival on our shores is reminiscent of the British invasion in the 1960s. Except, instead of selling music, Harry and Meghan are here to sell us their ideas and personas. They haven’t just quit working for the royal family, they found a better gig.

Their post-royal trajectory resembles that of post-presidency Barack and Michelle Obama. Harry and Meghan give interviews, publish books, and launch charitable ventures. This is earning them a fortune, but they still claim to be victims.

The couple left the British royal family, a move dubbed “Megxit” in the press, in January 2020. Since then, they have rarely been off the front pages. Harry made headlines when he blamed “mass-scale misinformation” for COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy during a virtual appearance at the GQ Men of the Year awards on September 2.

Harry and Meghan embrace every standard liberal position, particularly a horror of people getting information from any source other than legacy media outlets and institutions.

@mystery-ak

"Taken America by storm"????

I honestly do not know ONE single person that has ever mentioned either in public,other than the people who saw Markle in the drama series she was in,and to give her the credit due,she IS a pretty good actress.

Then again,I honestly don't know anyone that gives a squat about any Royalty anywhere,and this includes the English Royalty.

I suspect the largest part of this "interest" comes from the media,and they only care because they need to have something to write about.

Harry is being led around on Meghan's leash like a little puppy. Hey, if they are happy, so be it. But to say that they've taken America by storm?? I think not!!

Russia hosts first royal wedding since revolution as descendant of tsars marries
Grand Duke George Mikhailovich Romanov wed Victoria Romanovna Bettarini, at St. Isaac's Cathedral in Russia's former imperial capital St Petersburg.
NBC News, Oct 1, 2021

A descendant of Russia's former imperial family married his Italian bride on Friday in the first royal wedding to take place on Russian soil since tsarist times more than a century ago.

Grand Duke George Mikhailovich Romanov tied the knot with Victoria Romanovna Bettarini, an Italian, at St. Isaac's Cathedral in Russia's former imperial capital St Petersburg.

Russian Orthodox clergy conducted the elaborate ceremony, watched by hundreds of guests who included the groom's mother, Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna of Russia — the self-proclaimed heir to Russia's imperial throne - and more than a dozen minor European royals.

George Mikhailovich's great-grandfather, Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich, fled Russia during the 1917 Bolshevik revolution, escaping first to Finland and later relocating with his family to Western Europe.

Russia's last tsar, Nicholas II, his wife and five children were murdered by a revolutionary firing squad in July, 1918, in the cellar of a merchant's house in Yekaterinburg, a city 900 miles east of Moscow.

George Mikhailovich, 40, was born in Madrid and has lived most of his life in Spain and France.

Bettarini, 39, who converted to the Russian Orthodox faith last year and took the name Victoria Romanovna, was led to the altar by her father, Roberto Bettarini, who has served in the Italian diplomatic service.

The Romanov dynasty ruled Russia for over 300 years before Nicholas II abdicated in early 1917, setting the country on course for the Bolshevik Revolution in November of that year, civil war and 70 years of Communist rule.

Russia's Orthodox Church in 2000 canonised Nicholas II, who had been portrayed as a weak leader by Soviet authoritie

That dress looks like the same Butterick pattern we had to use in home ec class back in ancient times. All they did was sew some bling to it.

Meghan Markle is accused of using her British royal title to meddle in US politics after sending a two-page letter on headed notepaper - 'using tactics of an aspiring politician' - to plead for paid leave for parents

Meghan urges politicians to bring in paid parental leave as 'national right' as Joe Biden's bill heads to Senate
In her letter on Sussexes' headed paper details growing up on a 4.99-dollar salad bar and first job at age 13
Critics point out Duchess was privately educated paid for her now estranged lighting director father Thomas
Royal experts say lobbying intervention is a new sign that Meghan has serious political ambitions in the US

By Martin Robinson, Chief Reporter For Mailonline

Meghan Markle was today accused of using her British royal title to meddle at the top of US politics and adopting the 'ruthless streak' and 'tactics of an aspiring politician' to lobby two senior Washington figures on Joe Biden's proposed parental and sick leave legislation in a 1000-word letter sent on the Sussexes' own headed paper.

Royals experts have also questioned whether Americans will be impressed 'by her account of how she had to struggle' on $4.99 salads from Sizzler when her estranged father Thomas put her through private school from kindergarten and she now lives in a $14million LA mansion while sitting on a $100million fortune.

The Duchess of Sussex's letter was sent, she claims, as an 'engaged citizen and a parent and as a mom' - but is being viewed as her most overtly political intervention in US life yet after speculation she has dreams of being a Democrat politician or even to run for US President. ...

Queen Elizabeth Was Hospitalized, Palace Discloses

Queen Elizabeth II entered the hospital on Wednesday afternoon for tests and was discharged on Thursday, a day after Buckingham Palace announced she would cancel a visit to Northern Ireland on the advice of her doctors.

The palace, which provided no further details on her condition or the nature of the tests, confirmed the hospital visit on Thursday evening, after a report about it appeared in The Sun, a British tabloid. On Wednesday, the palace said she “reluctantly accepted medical advice to rest for the next few days.”

In the latest statement, a spokesman for Buckingham Palace said, “the Queen attended hospital on Wednesday afternoon for some preliminary investigations, returning to Windsor Castle at lunchtime today, and remains in good spirits.”

People with ties to the palace said the decision to cancel the Northern Ireland trip was prompted by concerns that the queen, 95, was exhausted after a hectic series of public events, including a reception for business people, including Bill Gates, at Windsor Castle on Tuesday evening.

The queen returned to her desk at Windsor on Thursday afternoon, according to a person with ties to the palace. The decision for her to stay overnight was taken as a precaution by the queen’s medical team, this person said.

News that the queen was hospitalized will deepen anxieties about her condition in a country where she has reigned for nearly seven decades....................
