Well, as long as it isn’t casual…
My mind is quite boggled as to why anyone gives a fuck about any Royal Family news, but I’m happy to take the opposite side to the Daily Mail, Piers Morgan and Katie Hopkins so count me in for team Meghan.

My apologies @fidgetUK as you seem to have picked up on a conversation me and Kerowo was having about another poster who I took exception too for calling posters Bitches… My bad I should have posted and explained.
This is my stance tbh… I don’t care about them at all if I’m totally honest with myself.
A few mates despise them & I wonder why the’d waste the energy.
Mind you, growing up here we all tend to dismiss anyone who speaks at all about them either good or bad just because we know it brings trouble. 
I hope they land in a good place tbh, as I wish them no harm…
There are more than a few Americans who follow the royals. Seems strange to me but royal family gossip is always aggressively covered by the US tabloids. People are enchanted with the idea of fairytale princess and in the US it’s easy to ignore all the politics surrounding the royal family and just focus on the celeb gossip and royal babie and whatnot.
Do public funds refer to current taxes or previous capital accrued by the royals?

What the Royal Family Really Costs British Taxpayers | Vanity Fair
As for Prince Harry, his $45,000 salary for his service in the British Army Air Corps came in at only 10% of his wife’s Suits annual earnings. But the bulk of his wealth comes from an inheritance of $13 million he received for his 30th birthday, per the will of his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.6 May 2019

This Is How Much Money Each Member Of The Royal Family Is …
So mostly a symbolic gesture? It’s not like they are going to be staying at Motel6’s or anything.
Exactly… They have vast amount of money and resources are easily attainable once they leave the public housing that they currently reside in.
I think a royal decree was signed long ago to pay them for taking a back seat to the Nobles of England and stopped starting wars in France… 
There public housing…
I was listening to US right wing AM radio the other day and they were going off about how Meghan is a meanie and disrespectful to the Queen. I’m sure I’ve never heard these yambags care one way or another about royal family drama before, I wonder why Meghan is different.
Obviously It’s because she’s a left leaning Hollywood Liberal elite.
I’m sure that’s in the mix, but I can’t help feeling there’s another, quite specific factor that’s uh, colouring their perception of her.

The defendant said he did not know who Mr Jones was, claiming he assaulted him because he barged him inside the north London pub, spilling his drink, and did not apologise.
Mr Healy also allegedly had a football hooligan flag adorned with SS symbols and a collection of pin badges linked to white supremacist groups.
He told the court: "I’m a hoarder. I never throw anything away. I just had them all that time tucked away in the back of a drawer.
Well it’s amazing the things you find that you forgot you ever owned when you move house. I once found a full Nazi uniform and concentration camp memorabilia tucked away behind the sofa.
