GoFundMe to pay off Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's mortgage goes bust
[NY Post] A GoFundMe page set up to pay off the mortgage on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s $14.6 million California estate has gone bust — after raising a measly $110, a report says.
$110? Lolololol *gasp* Lolololol
Anastasia Hanson, 56, of California told Britain’s the Sun that she started the fundraising effort because she seriously felt sorry for the multimillionaire royal couple — after Harry publicly whined to Oprah Winfrey about being financially cut off by Buckingham Palace.

"When they came to the USA, they were without jobs and with limited funds," said Hanson, who lives about 25 minutes from the princely pair’s palatial estate in swanky Montecito.

"They’ve stated that they’ve had a very rough time, so this fundraiser is a way to give help, compassion, and love by paying their home loan in full."

In Markle and the prince’s bombshell TV sit-down last week, Harry defended their inking of a multitude of uber-lucrative media deals since leaving royal life, saying, "My family literally cut me off financially, and I had to afford security for us."

Hanson’s online bid to try to financially help the royals was started a few days ago — and shut down by Saturday after just three donations, the Sun said.

Hanson kicked in $5, while "A Supporter" gave $100 and "Anonymous" bestowed $5 on the fund.

The page had read, "I am Anastasia Hanson of Ventura, California and I am raising funds to pay off the mortgage for the Montecito, California home of Harry and Meghan.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have decided where they want to live and purchased an 18,000 square foot mansion, that rests on 5.4 acres, in Montecito , California, about 90 miles from Los Angeles.

#2 Well, it's quite obvious that racists are not contributing to this GoFundMe endeavor. /sarc

#3 The address of the $14 million estate;
765 Rockbridge Rd, Montecito, CA 93108
East of Westmont College and Santa Barbara
I'd prefer my father's mansion in Swansboro.
My father called it God's country.
My father's place is like Reagan's Rancho del Cielo (west of Santa Barbara) kind of isolated, natural area.

#5 The entire GoFundMe phenomenon disgust me. I think the broad that sprayed Gorilla Glue in her hair has netted about $500k from her own stupidity (and the stupidity of those who send her money.) So it does my heart good to see there's still a limit to people's gullibility sometimes, even if it isn't exercised nearly often enough...

So not even the groups that initially used these rich pampered whiny brats for Newsbites and Political agenda chipped in?

Where were the Hollywood, Cal., NY and other Liberals?

These 2 brats have quickly learned the Southern Golden Rule.

Family takes care of Family,
as long as it acts like Family
.

PREDICTED FUTURE
I am pretty sure he'll divorce her in the coming next 2 years. Then after placing the blame on her for his actions. He'll take strides to apologize to the Royal Family. Which will likely allow some small forgiveness and a small annual $$ Royal allowance.

You REALLY don't expect them to use their own money, do you? If anything, they'd be lobbying for the federal government to pay the mortgage as part of covid relief or something.
