I don’t understand why anyone would think KCIII should continue to give his brother a quarter of a million a year. He’s a 63 year old man quite capable of figuring out how to earn his own money! I’d also be staggered if he didn’t have a large inherited pot stashed away - it’s simply that he doesn’t want to cut his cloth and live the way he can actually afford to. The Queen funded him privately because she indulged him all his life. It was at least justifiable while he was doing public duties (in between golf and grifting). Now he still wants paying to sit on his arse?! He needs to figure out an honest way to earn a living himself! I’m glad the Waleses have learned the lesson and in the future we will no longer have to suffer these over indulged, entitled spares!
I'm sure PA inherited significant sums from both parents, and probably from the Queen Mum too. More money than most of us can even dream of. I suspect, like with Harold, he wants to "preserve" his inheritance rather than dig into his own pockets.
Harold whined that being Royal meant he was basically unemployable, didn't he? I can imagine PA being rather similar. Funny how William, the future King, managed to be entirely employable by the Air Ambulance. Shame the other two helicopter pilots didn't get off their arses and do something similar rather than having all sorts of things set up for them and handed to them on a plate. All while being over-indulged by their respective parents because they weren't the Heir.
Charlotte and Louis will probably have regular jobs even if they're also working Royals. I expect George, like his dad, will also have a job (other than the military) for a while as well.
The upcoming generation, beginning with Louise and James, will probably be far more refreshing and far less entitled than some of their predecessors. A lot will be down to good parenting/grandparenting from Anne, the Tindalls, Peter, the Wessexes, the Waleses and the Middletons. It was a good start that Louise had a modest job in a garden centre last summer, rather than careering around on endless freebie hols like the York sisters used to.
We can live in hope that the days of producing Andrews and Harolds are now gone.
