Royals’ drama is just Shameless with staff

- KEVIN MAGUIRE

WHY stop here? Why are they permitting the royal runaways to continue trading as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex?

Letting Mr and Mrs Grabby use their royal celebrity titles to buy their way to a Hollywood jet-set life in California was the world’s cushiest consolatio­n prize.

Granny’s ruthlessne­ss in finding time from worrying about her husband in hospital to withdraw patronage and appointmen­ts, still leaves the couple to earn without any of the duties.

So blue blood proved thicker than doing the right thing, as the

Queen balked at reclaiming the profitable Sussex fancy baubles.

The privileged self-serving Royal

Family is just Shameless with staff – anti-social neighbours who would be visited regularly by social workers if they lived on a council estate instead of their lavish country ones.

Harry Windsor losing his military roles will admittedly hurt him the most as a former member of the armed forces who has served twice in Afghanista­n. We need to grow up as a country, and throw off the Disney wealthfare misfits thinking they’re better than the rest of us. It’s time to embrace fairness, decency and democracy by ditching a shameful hereditary monarchy so that granny becomes Elizabeth the Last. The pricy posh soap opera is rather embarrassi­ng and has gone well past its sell-by date. As a committed republican I would like to take this opportunit­y to recognise everything Harry, Meghan and, above all, Andrew do for my cause by exposing from within the lunacy of us still having to pay for a royal family.
