Of course a major part of the increased cost is security, to guard against the anti-monarchist hooligans. So they cause the cost then complain about it.
It’s a shame they couldn’t extend the same security to the other Royal, Harry and his family, especially when you consider all the caustic comments that have been made against this lovely couple.

Who?

They could have had all the security that there was if they hadn't thrown their toys out of the pram.

I understood they had stood down from bring Royals and had moved to America to.make their living as celebrities. I think they made enough from their latest fiction novel to pay for a couple of heavies.

If your wife was thrown to the wolves you, along with the other chaps on this forum would have done exactly the same as what Harry has done…defended his wife.

I however would have let them eat mine :thumbup: :lol:

The thing is my wife is much nicer than Meghan and hasn't antagonised so many people.

If I remember correctly, you were having a bad day so decided to take it out on someone who you knew wouldn’t answer back…I really felt for you David which is why I was willing to forgive you for your lapse of judgment.

Good mates don’t hold grudges :thumbup: :D

Junior doctors say they are striking because they are unable to give patients the quality care they deserve, I wonder why giving them a 35% pay increase will change that?

I suppose it will attract more into the profession but their actions go against their ethical code to save lives. Perhaps when they are earning £80k+ they will look back and realise why the Government will/cannot back down to their 35% demands.
