They defy the Crown at their peril because there are all sorts of Laws covering all aspects of life but some of them are so old they are almost forgotton but they are still there such as being imprisoned for emptying a chamberpot from an upstairs window on a sunday, or hanged for defacing London Bridge, hanged for impersonating a Chelsea Pensioner, plus many more old Laws.

Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had hinted his country would pay half the cost but was forced to withdraw the offer after a backlash from his taxpayers.
Questions are now being asked as to why Britain should pick up the bill when Harry and Meghan will not have their main residence in the UK or carry out official duties.
Most security experts agree the couple must retain a team of between eight and ten close protection officers from the Metropolitan Police.
It would include two officers each for Harry, Meghan and their baby Archie. Up to four more would need to be in reserve to cover holiday, sickness and absence for training and foreign trips.
Each of these visits is preceded by a reconnaissance mission to assess threats and escape routes. www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1230602/Meghan-markle-prince-harry-news-security-bill-british-taxpayers-royal-familyIf I could twist Brenda's arm, I'd get her to cut them off.

they should expect to pay their own security....its a matter of principle that this couple who have said they wish to be independent.... should then pay for all their needs them selves...…

the silly pair not content with a swipe at the Queen seems they want to take on the Government as well...…...as its a government domain to look after patented names etc …. as the article says who on earth is advising them[who ever it is is not British] or aware of British law in relation to overseas commonwealth and the rules of play.....so heres a sprinkling of opinions.. some from the mail is in there too.....how ever its not gossip....sadly its fact
'They've lost all perspective': Palace insider blasts Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for 'sniping' at Queen over 'Royal' branding - but admit her aides were not 'unduly surprised'

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were accused yesterday of 'losing all sense of perspective' after making an extraordinary online 'swipe' at the Queen and other royals.
Harry and Meghan announced on Friday evening that they will stop using their Sussex Royal brand when they step down as senior royals on March 31.
But hours after releasing a carefully worded statement via Buckingham Palace confirming the move, the couple posted a 1,114-word 'update' on their personal website.
They claimed the Queen had no 'jurisdiction' over the word 'Royal' overseas and said the monarch and the Government would have been powerless to stop them had they continued to use the word while abroad.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (pictured) were accused yesterday of 'losing all sense of perspective' after making an extraordinary online 'swipe' at the Queen and other royals
The lengthy statement contained what appear to be references to other royals, including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie and the Earl and Countess of Wessex. There was also a thinly veiled attack on the British media, who they feel have been unfairly critical of their actions.
The statement claimed they had been treated differently from other members of the Royal Family and reminded readers that Harry remains sixth in line to the throne and an HRH by birth
Last night it was clear that the Palace was exasperated by the intervention, although not unduly surprised. Others described the couple's words as unhelpful to their public image and family relations.
'Let's just hope they feel they have got whatever they want to get out of their system,' said one. Another royal insider – who is not part of the negotiations – told the Mail that the couple seemed to have 'lost all sense of perspective'.
'It was their decision to do this and the family is clearly trying their best to facilitate it,' the source said. 'But it inevitably requires sacrifices on both sides and the Sussexes need to be rather more gracious about it.
'Sniping from the sidelines doesn't help anyone.'
Most irritating, it seems, were the not-so-subtle references to other royals, including William and Kate. However, officials were at pains not to be drawn into a war of words with the couple 'for everyone's sake'.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman refused to comment, but stressed that several statements had been issued since the couple decided to announce their departure last month. Unusually, some of those statements, they said, were from the Queen – in which she expressed her sadness that her grandson and his wife wanted to walk away but said she would support them.
The lengthy statement contained what appear to be references to other royals, including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie and the Earl and Countess of Wessex
A spokesman for the couple issued a statement about their use of royal titles at 7.07pm on Friday, but a much longer version was shared online some three hours later.
The second statement made little attempt to disguise their disappointment at the rejection of their initial plan to retain their royal titles while earning income overseas.
'The preference of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex was to continue to represent and support Her Majesty the Queen albeit in a more limited capacity, while not drawing on the Sovereign Grant,' it said.
Harry and Meghan made clear that they feel irritated that their efforts to trademark items such as pens, clothing and 'emotional support services' under the Sussex Royal logo were rejected.
It had been concluded that it was both morally and legally untenable for them to market themselves as royals while pursuing commercial interests. In the most provocative passage in their statement, they claimed there was, however, nothing stopping them from using the word 'royal' abroad but they had simply chosen not to.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex posted an extraordinary statement on their website claiming that the Queen does not own the word royal across the world after they were forced to drop their 'Sussex Royal' brand. Pictured: The Duke and Duchess arriving in Canada on Valentines Day
The statement said: 'While there is not any jurisdiction by the Monarchy or Cabinet Office over the use of the word 'Royal' overseas, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex do not intend to use 'Sussex Royal' or any iteration of the word 'Royal' in any territory (either within the UK or otherwise) when the transition occurs Spring 2020.'
The couple believe their attempts to trademark their brand were met unfavourably compared with the treatment of William and Kate, who they claim have done the same for their own charitable foundation.
'The trademark applications that had been filed as protective measures, and that reflected the same standard trademarking requests as done for The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, have been removed,' the statement said.

Over the weekend, Harry and Meghan faced widespread criticism for their statement, with one royal expert calling the comments spiteful.
Tom Bower, who wrote a biography of Prince Charles, added: 'The comments smack of spiteful fury. I fear it will get worse.'
Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, said: 'It appears to be a gratuitous and ungracious swipe at the Queen. It is kind of saying, 'By the way we know we can use royal if we want to'.
'The Queen is doing everything she can to keep the peace, but the Sussexes believe the Royal Family is against them. The more you read it, the nastier it appears.'
ROBERT HARDMAN: Harry and Meghan are being peevish and tin-eared... just who IS advising them?
By Robert Hardman for the Daily Mail[Hardman is a noted biographer]
Like every Sandhurst cadet, the young Prince Harry had the age-old maxim – variously attributed to Erwin Rommel, the Duke of Wellington and the 6th century BC Chinese general Sun Tzu – drummed in to him throughout his military training: time spent in reconnaissance is seldom wasted.
So how is it that, after all those months of supposedly careful planning, the great 'Sussex Royal' adventure now looks more like the retreat from Dunkirk?
And why, given their evident concern about retaining their royal status, have the Duke and Duchess of Sussex shown such disrespect for the person from whom that status descends – the Queen?
For the latest pique-filled statement on the sussexroyal.com website is enough to test the patience of the most sympathetic observers

Suddenly the security bill has gone up to £20 million. Why? For quite a lot of the time all three of them will be in different places... needing protection. |

I am not understanding that at all..... so what the hell is going on... but one thing certain we should not be footing that bill... they no longer live here...and they are not on any mission on behalf of UK.....but even supposing they are in all different places... 20 mill is an absurd amount... unless they are paying 20 security guard a million pounds each

fretslider "Perhaps other members of Hollywood royalty might like to contribute to the potential £6 million plus per year cost of guarding these pathetic wasters." Recent reports are mentioning a bill of £20 million !! Yes, Toby. Suddenly it dawned on them that there can be up to three different locations at any time that 'require protection'. My answer to that is Harry was in the military and should be able to look after himself with no problem. |
