Well he wouldn't have been stripped of "Dads support" if he hadn't walked out. If he had said that he just couldn't do the royal job any more but was willing to stay in the UK, I dont think that Charles would have cut him off financially.
He would still have had his house with security at Frogmore and I think that Charles would have given him an reasonable if not massive allowance which together with his mother's money could have kept him in reasonable comfort. But HE was the one who wanted NOT to completely leave royal life.. but to "earn a professional income" and he wanted to earn it in America and he was the one who wanted "half in and half out" so royal life can't have been THAT bad for him, or he would hardly have wished to stay in it part time.
NOW from what he has said, he clearly felt that whether he was "half in half out" OR fully out of royal life, Harry still expected his father and the tax payers to continue to pay for his security and expenses....and he was in no real hurry to find work, until he was told that they would not do so.
I think you're right on a lot of that. I do think if they had retired quietly in the UK then Charles would still be footing everything and I think if Harry had gone to them when he left the Army and said he needed time to work on his problems or he didn't want this life they'd have discreetly disappeared him for a few years. But he'd probably be complaining about that now.
We also know they took meetings with Quibi in January 2019 before Archie was born and those continued until after the Sandringham Summit. It drove their staff up the wall because they wouldn't tell anyone what was going on and no one knew how to advise them.
So they *were* wanting a commercial arm whilst still in the BRF.
We know the BRF offered them an escape in Africa and it was turned down.
We know they were offered a slower entry into working royal life and in their own words they wanted to hit the ground running.
We know that Harry was *offended* when someone suggested Meghan might keep acting and not become a full time royal.
We know the staff *did* kill negative stories about them from the reporters who tried to run them.
We know they didn't listen to staff and wanted to do it all their own way.
Harry has now said he always hated everything about royal duties and was forced to do them but they wanted Half in Half out originally.
We know that they also claimed to want to be "financially independent".
We know that Charles and the taxpayer were supporting them whilst they were in Canada and it was only after they moved to LA they were cut off.
We know that others in the BRF have been to therapy and Diana even said that they provided therapy for her 40 years ago. We know that Harry has said he didn't tell anyone because he was too embarrassed and now claims "everyone" knew ...something... but they wouldn't help. But conveniently doesn't say exactly what they were saying "no" to.
So in conclusion
in their own words they wanted to live in a very expensive part of the US, they wanted everything paid for by the taxpayer AND Charles. They didn't want to abide by any rules about not making money from the position (something Prince Michael is also in trouble for) they didn't want to do royal duties but they *did* want to say whatever they felt like it whilst demanding the BRF shut down freedom of the press if they ever received any criticism. They'd also like to keep using their titles from a "toxic institution" and complain that their children aren't HRH as well.
Now that's blown up in their faces suddenly everything is everyone else's fault and never theirs and they constantly change their stories to suit whatever needs to be sold that day.
Harry is selling his soul to the very same media he believes killed his mother and the very same station that exploited pictures of her dying for money. All he has to sell is the family he now claims are toxic. Whilst he complains that anyone who disagrees with any of this is a troll.
That is pretty much the most staggering pile of nonsense I've ever seen when you put it all together.
I used to think they were genuine in their desire to help but were going about it in the worst possible way but I don't any more.
