Why should UK taxpayers have to foot the bill when she files for divorce?


Whether they love the royals or hate the royals the UK public have already been made to foot the bill for this extravagant wedding.

Why the hell should they now also have to pay the legal fees when Meghan files for divorce next year????

The Brits like this shit. We Americans grew to hate monarchy when we fought the crown for independence. The British however have learned to take the monarchy to a symbolic level and enjoy the whole concept. The cost is worth it to them and it's harmless.

As far as legal fees, the how is the monarchy different from any other citizen when it comes to divorce?

They're a tourist attraction. I'm not sure if there's another reason to visit the UK.

Just throw her in the Tower of London if it doesn't last 5 years.

I live in the UK and there's nothing here particularly interesting.

I don't think she'll file in the UK. Because she's American, I think she'll come back here and file because they don't have alimony in the UK (and she'll want to draw it out to keep herself in the media). That's exactly what happened to John Cleese. Heaven help Harry if she files in Connecticut! Those judges are from the Stone Age.
