Cashing in will carry a heavy price for Meghan and Harry

Harry and Meghan have decided to make a living by singing for their supper. They’ve signed up to the top U.S. speaking bureau, the Harry Walker agency, which has ex-presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton on its books as well as Meghan’s friend Serena Williams.

It has reportedly secured its top clients up to $1 million a speech.

The Sussexes will talk about topics that are important in their lives and in the world, we’re told. They will focus on social issues, racial and gender inequality, the environment and mental health.

all perfectly laudable (yawn, yawn). But who really wants to hear them bang on in their woke way about green issues and gender and race when there are far more interesting things to talk about — like the royal Family and Harry’s mother Diana?

Of course, talking about the royals is not their plan, it’s said. But surely even Harry realises the only real currency he has on the U.S. speaking circuit is talking about his mother, whom americans idolise like Jackie O, and his wider family.

as for Megs, her views as a mixedrace eco warrior and actress surely have a very short shelf life.

We all know that inside stories of the royals is where the real money lies; we know they’ll be sorely tempted to do it given the highly expensive La lifestyle they’ve adopted — even if it is subsidised by Prince Charles.

They may have left the royal Family, but it’s only their royal status that gives them any kudos. It’s the hypocrisy and, yes, greed of cashing in on that status while claiming to distance themselves from it that so many of us find galling. as well as the piety and virtue-signalling.

Oh, for the old Harry who used to belt out English rugby’s anthem Swing Low, Sweet Chariot with the best of them, instead of the new one who, driven by his wife’s PC agenda, has demanded this much- loved spiritual be banned because it was written by a slave.

at every turn, these royal exiles seem to be sinking lower in the public’s estimation. Which is such a tragedy given the affection with which we have always regarded Harry and the thrill we all felt when he married Meghan on that glorious early summer day two years ago.
