I have to admit, I'm with President Trump here on the issue of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle - good riddance to bad garbage.
🔥 WOW! President Trump is publicly celebrating Prince Harry and Meghan Markle fleeing America, and says if he were the Royal Family, he "WOULDN'T TAKE THEM BACK"

..."I thought she was terribly disrespectful to the Queen, to King Charles. Maybe I'm different. I wouldn't have taken them back. If I were the royal family, I would not have taken them back!"
"I'm HAPPY about it! I was NOT a fan."
"I had a very good relationship with the Queen. Really good. I thought they treated the royal family with great disrespect. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way she acted."
Not that anyone thought about them that much - which is what I guess is a big part of their problem. But when we did, it was usually with a groan and eyeballs rolling so far back into our heads that you had to scoop them out with a spoon just to see again.
Pretentious, lazy twits looking to feed off of and on Americans' supposed fascination with British 'royalty.'
Harry Has Been an Unwelcome House Guest. We Yanks are glad to See Him Packing. The Sussexes arrived as exotic refugees. They leave as washed up, self-possessed Hollywood grifters.

Well, we like to chew on and dissect glimpses of real royalty, like, say, Harry's brother, who works his butt off every day being princely and a good husband and father. Or his Princess, who is as ethereally beautiful as anyone could wish for, inside and out.
The 'Sussexes,' as they're known, are the Temu branch of the family, and we've got enough imitation, plastic American pretenders that no one cares more about the British invader as anything other than a curiosity.
Worse, familiarity did breed contempt.
LOTS of contempt, of the most hilarious kind.
WE WANT OUR PRIVACY! WE WANT OUR PRIVACY!
Well, things fell apart for the lackluster slackers. Meghan turned out, to no one's surprise, to be no Martha Stewart...
...and one can only hear Harry whine about how hard life is so many times before telling him to stuff a sock in it.
...Harry and his wife invaded American political debates on election integrity, family leave and other partisan questions, despite having no mandate or expertise to do so. He spoke dismissively of the First Amendment, calling the constitutional guarantee at the heart of American free speech “bonkers.” Nigel Farage, the leader of the UK’s Reform party, noted at the time that Harry had “lost the plot” and would soon be unwanted on either side of the Atlantic. How prophetic he was.
More insulting still, Harry had the gall to remark on national television that America had “elected a king.” Even a liberal New York audience booed. The American hostility to Brits meddling with our democracy runs deep. Did he really think that mocking Donald Trump would go down well? As a foreign prince who had chosen to live in America, sneering at our elected head of state revealed a stunning lack of judgment.
Harry’s immigration record completed the picture. In his memoir Spare, Harry detailed extensive past drug use. Those admissions prompted formal scrutiny of how he obtained and retained his United States visa. Ordinary applicants understandably expect immigration rules to be applied consistently. The spectacle of a highly privileged foreigner publicly discussing such conduct inevitably invited scrutiny. Was Harry held to the same standards as everyone else, or did he get special treatment?
...The American reaction to the Sussexes’ departure has been indifferent. Meghan McCain spoke for a wide constituency when she labeled the couple “entitled grifters” and offered Britain a dry farewell: “Good luck to our friends in the UK, they’re your problem now.” Megyn Kelly captured the same relief in fewer words: “We’ve done our time here in America my dear friend.” Neither is a fringe voice. Their comments capture something broader: the American public’s growing impatience with the Sussexes’ habit of treating their host country as both a refuge and a political stage.
That scorn was long in forming. From the Oprah interview through their Netflix series and Spare, a growing share of Americans tired of their predictable schemes: private grievances aired and monetized, family loyalty discarded and the host country used as a convenient platform. The Sussexes arrived as exotic refugees. They leave as something far less captivating: washed up, self-possessed Hollywood grifters.
Netflix deals dried up, as did celebrity friends and invitations, and the coup de grâce this spring was Harry's crushing loss in yet another privacy lawsuit against a plethora of British newspapers and media giants.
He's on the hook for money he doesn't have.
Prince Harry and 6 others must pay initial $13 million over failed invasion of privacy case
Prince Harry and six others, including Elton John, have been ordered to pay an initial 9.5 million pounds ($13 million) to the publisher of Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper following their failed invasion of privacy case.
In a judgment Friday, Justice Matthew Nicklin said Friday in a written statement that the payment will have to be made by Aug. 28. The payment is at the upper end of expectations.
The claimants lost a High Court case in London last month during which they had alleged malpractice, such as the illegal hacking of phones, on the part of Associated Newspapers.
The publisher has said it accumulated more than 34 million pounds during the case. The remainder of the costs will have to be reimbursed by a later date by the claimants, who are insured for around half that total.
Where to go, where to go.
Luckily, Dad's the king and a sick, sentimental fellow who loves the grandchildren his daughter-in-law has used as pawns for the past few years.
Lickety-split, before you knew it, and blindsiding even the hard-working heir apparent, who had NO idea what his worthless brother and rapacious wife were planning - Harry and Meghan landed in England.
But, as the pair still has no intention of actually 'working,' they can't stay in any of the royal properties as if they were 'royalty.' In fact, just as a juicy tidbit, there's lots of betting going on about if and when William ever speaks to the ginger grifter again because of him and wifey's appalling conduct toward everyone. Charles might worry about the grandkids, but William has his own to worry about, and they come first, bar none.
...While a source recently told PEOPLE that returning home presents Harry with the “best opportunity” to repair the years-long rift with his older brother, another source close to the Prince and Princess of Wales has said that the couple is taking a careful approach.
William and Kate are resisting any “knee-jerk reaction” to the move, a close source tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story. “They are watching this space. It’s private — they don’t feel the need to say anything or demonstrate anything outwardly.”
The source adds that any reconciliation “will be a slow build. There is a deep sense of betrayal.”
But Meghan has standards she refuses to compromise on as far as her own imagined station in life, and so the Sussexes will be decamping in country style to the bucolic Cotswolds.
This was news to the Cotswolds, as our Ebola*, who will still be living there for another week, tells us, and the area's inhabitants are not happy in the least with the news of the impending arrivals.
In fact, they're even more pissed off than they were originally, thanks to the Sussexes themselves.
It seems the two very important nobodies took it upon themselves to find an exclusive private school for Lilibet and Archie to attend - okay, makes sense.
Prince Harry, Meghan Markle sending children to ritzy $35K-a-year prep school https://t.co/iF8Hb69pZc pic.twitter.com/wcwzutCSyB

You wouldn't expect them to go to a school filled with North African migrants, right?
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s two children will attend a posh UK prep school with a hefty tuition fee.
Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, will be students at a private school that costs more than $35,000 a year, Page Six can exclusively reveal.
The ritzy institution features several state-of-the-art amenities like an indoor swimming pool, a fitness center, expansive grass playing fields and multiple AstroTurf sports pitches.
Nah, it wasn't that.
It's the little note sent 'round to all the parents of the new schoolmates once they'd settled on that school that has their Cotswold neighbors fixin' to blow.
THOU SHALT NOT - WE WANT OUR PRIVACY!
Cotswolds parents 'sent warning letters' over Harry and Meghan’s British move
Parents at a Cotswolds schools have reportedly been 'sent warning letters' over Harry and Meghan’s move to the region.
A royal commentator said that local families in the area have already been informed about stringent protocols concerning the young royals, Prince Archie, aged seven, and Princess Lilibet.
...Royal expert Kinsey Schofield revealed that educational authorities reached out to local residents regarding new school policies relating to high-profile pupils, reports the Express.
"It then reminded parents and carers not to photograph or film other children without permission, or share photographs, information or details about pupils or their families on social media," Schofield revealed
...The royal commentator said they had learned from a source that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex "approached multiple schools" ahead of their relocation.
The Facebook comments from residents are a shriek, ranging from a very polite and measured, 'Well, their grandfather is the king,' to being ratioed by snark along the lines of 'I hope they've given parents the same warning. There is more danger of Meghan and Harry filming for potential future Netflix' and 'I know what I would do with a warning letter, it would be toilet paper.'
And everything worse in between.
Why are Harry and Meghan leaking to press about their school thought they were concerned about people knowing this is why @ukhomeoffice @RoyalFamily shouldn’t be giving security it’s about publicity for them everything is being put in media they create a media circus

I don't know that this is going to work out so well for the couple, and why should it?
Imagine being one of the parents at a school full of rich kids from the Cotswolds. Smart kids with parents who most likely have a healthy work ethic, with children who are dearly loved.

Who would want to take the pic of another child?
And these parents likely have tons more cash than broke Harry and Mm. They are successful, not sussexfail.
They don't want to have to deal with the Mm and Harry circus, where they bring in six black cars to unload their precious progeny. Then Mm will do something to piss off the mothers. You know it's coming.
Mm is such a bully. And Harry will just smoke a joint and do whatever his owner tells him too.
The parents of the school are likely very upset. Don't blame them one bit.
Mean while the real royals do this....
They'd have to make an effort not to be them.
As our son said about his neighbors when he sent the article to me this morning:
They're all getting hosed on taxes with next to zero return and now may get hit with another to fund these idiots that aren't supposed to receive anything.
He is delighted to be heading back to Europe in the nick of time.
Everybody wants their privacy. Some people are just more civilized about it than others, you know?
Happy Friday.
