I cant believe Im not getting paid for this. by u/Mickleborough

Meghan’s alleged to have said this on their Australia / Fiji / New Zealand / Tonga tour in 2018 when she was expected to do walkabouts, shake hands, and show a civil face. (She couldn’t do even that in Fiji: Sun archived / unarchived.)

To give an idea of what a proper working royal does, the Telegraph spent a week with Princess Anne.

Twice a year, her office invites the 300-plus organisations with which she’s affiliated to submit requests for her time. She gets 1,200 - 2,000 requests a year; sorts them out; and creates a schedule, to which she adheres.

In this typical week, the Princess Royal:

travelled about 818 miles / 1,316

shook over 677 hands

spent many hours in conversation

Her activities ranged from visiting a local National Coastwatch Institution to an equitation centre to celebrate 25 years of the Pony Club Centre Membership Scheme; attending a party to support unpaid carers (spending ‘a few extra moments talking to the building’s cleaner, loudly declaring her “very important”’) to carrying out an investiture; going to a City fundraiser lunch for military veterans to hosting a black tie dinner to celebrate The Duke of Edinburgh’s Commonwealth Study Conferences.

At all of these many and varied visits, she showed a depth of knowledge of their work.

Admittedly the Princess Royal’s one of the hardest working members of the Royal Family - and this is a normal working week for her.

Meghan didn’t stay long enough to have a typical working week with all 4 of her patronages. She did a few royal tours, which involved far less in-depth work. Sample itinerary from her Australia tour:

16 October 2018:

Meet the Governor-General, his wife, and Invictus Games representatives.

Trip to the zoo (seriously).

Sydney Opera House to watch a performance by the Bangarra Dance Company

17 October:

Flight to Dubbo where the Sussexes met local farmers and hosted a picnic.

18 October:

Flight to Melbourne to meet politicians and the public at Government House.

Visit an organisation offering training to indigenous youth.

etc etc etc. Basically shaking hands and ‘doing the pretty’ (to quote a Georgette Heyer novel). And yet she couldn’t hack it:

This explains why she can’t put together a simple podcast (still can’t) - mainly because she’s a ‘f**king grifter’. Why American Rubbish Upchuck won’t get off the ground. No work ethic.

When life follows art: the worldwide privacy tour. How will she treat the crowds in Nigeria? Will she demand to be paid? Or will she tell them that they’re stupid?
