They have cut the royal purse strings and need a new source of income – monetising their social media followers could be their first step

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were never going to be king and queen of the United Kingdom. And now they have been relieved of their royal responsibilities, a new empire stretches before them, limitless, lucrative and theirs for the taking: the kingdom of sponsored content.

The sheep have to follow someone I guess.

If by influencers you mean how not to treat your family, I say yes.

megs pretty old. justsayin

No, they won't. They'll be celebs like Clooney's, Angelina, Oprah etc but not like Obamas

Laughable

theroyaleditor They are just going to be Harry and Meghan. Not Royals. No different to any other high paid actors etc

Theyre not royals anymore

Yes

I love ‘em, but no, something tells me they won’t 😏

You've got the gall to ask people to pay for this excuse for journalism?

They are no Royals.

You'd have to be pretty shallow & susceptible to be influenced by H & M.

Hopefully not.

LOL, flatlieroyalscam

Poor guys.......

I should jolly well Hope Not. They are nuts ( one nut knows what it’s up to the other nut is just following and has no idea, Shame what a Shame !

They’re coming to take over Scotland when it gets its independence.

Well done H & M i wouldn’t stay in the palace either with a child molester as my sons uncle and the royals big cover up better out than in.

😂 but they'd whinge about media attention!

I don’t think anyone cares. She’s annoying and he is now a feminist. Take away the royalty and there’s nothing

Morality and respect are of the essence here and the duo does not have it, One disrespected her father and the other disrespected his father and grand-mother. So, they do not have any morality to speak to responsible people

I think they will shrivel up.

Give it a rest Guardian. Leave the Royals to the tabloid scum to report on. You’re a serious paper yes?

Can't you just leave them in peace

That depends on your definition of safe sex my friend.

One thing for sure they won’t end up poor

Talk about being cheap

Is the guardian racist for saying it..?

Escape the pressure of media scrutiny and criticism by becoming social media tarts; that should work nicely!

First of all, no longer royal Second is a possible power play

No

Out for me or anyone I know. It’s advertisers not influencers.

What will happen after the divorce?!

Un peu de prostitution médiatique à la place de la victimisation médiatique... Bah!

theroyaleditor Your discourse is shaping these two. 🙄

theroyaleditor No

Scrolling for something newsworthy and it's not them

Let them be, you effing tabloid paparazzis! Is it not enough that you’ve driven them out of UK?

They wanted to escape public scrutiny, yes? So confusing.😅

They'll be like Paris Hilton: will not soar, but they will not drop. Grandma's got a bit of Diamonds which still shine back in her crown.😉💎 It's good to have the wealthy Granny!😀

They need to make their mind up on how they want it - a private life or a public life ... Going to be tricky to avoid the paps either way ...

They became mega star because of the Royal connection. Now that they want out, the glamour may remain for sometime. But for how long...yet to be seen.

How sad! Jumping from the frying pan into a fire, Good luck to the couple.

Generations go by their dreams not someone else dream

Oh please no.

It would be possible - but these two are just not bright enough. He's weak and she's self absorbed.

Who comes up with this BS? They pay you to say that?

I think that’s her aim. Won’t fit well with his aim of protecting her from press intrusion though.

They will never rule over the UK but just might rule the world...good for them!

Every time i see these ex-royals in the news i'm gonna bring up Prince Andrew and Epstein

'They have cut the royal purse strings and need a new source of income' Couples worth over $50 million don't really *need* additional sources of income, do they?

Nope. They are celebritiesbut without understanding how to drive brand power and influence this it won’t happen.

Will the Guardian ever be able to write a headline again that's not in the form of a click bait question?

Irony is the guardian so supportive of royals 😆

Why not - the media won’t leave them alone, why not make $$$ from it.

I hope so, the Kardashians need the competition.

Probably not. I really think their popularity is over estimated...

Yes.

By the sound of it, Harry was sharing the royal booty around when he was in the military.

Oh yes they will.

NO
