trashy women and other shows - if they're able to tell their story and profit off of it why not Harry & Meghan? I think it's great for them and their storytelling will help effect change in society. These are 2 decent human beings with a beautiful love story & a compelling history. They should be making money and keep promoting the good work of helping people. Harry founded the Invictus Games to help vets around the world, and has carried on many of his mother's charity work. Meghan has & continues to help promote women's causes globally. She is independent, fearless and speaks her mind.
Agree w you on the disbanding of the royal family but as long as the Brits want them around to bring in tourism dollars they're not going away anytime soon.

As for the British royals' money...part with their vast wealth and have to do real work for once in their lives? Heck no!
