Meghan and Harry Are Looking For A Job

When Meghan and Harry woke up, the first thing they did was to talk about how they were going to become normal folk and get a job.

Harry switched on his phone and there was a message from his Grandma (the Queen) which read:-

“Please leave Frogmore Cottage by the end of this week. I must ask you to pay back the £2.4 million we spent on renovating your ROYAL residence.”

Harry:- Let’s burn all the tabloids in a big garden bonfire (newspapers were always delivered to the residence).

Meghan:- Thank goodness we won’t ever have to read them in our new life.

Harry: When we sue them, they will have to pay us millions and we don’t really need to apply for a job

Meghan:- Not so sure we will get such a large compensation now that we are no longer royals. Anyway, you can’t play with Archie all day — you will have to get some kind of job.

Harry:- Oh look, Trevor Noah of the Daily Show is looking for applicants who “are very good at waving.” He is also looking for owners of a castle or manor which we can make available for “work parties.” We could both apply.

Meghan:- Forget it — I am tired of waving and my arm hurts. Will have to have some more physio… and the price of it! Anyway, we are now about to be evicted so that’s the end of that one. I always liked Trevor — a nice racial mix there… just like me.

Harry:- Got to polish up my CV today. Need some more selfies to put on it.

Meghan yawned and handed Archie to the nurse. She never bothered to change his diaper. It was all done for her but soon she would have to learn that too.

Meghan:- I suppose we could start a YouTube Channel. Maybe “Ex-Royals Rock Again”. “Living the tabloid –free life.” We could offer a few life lessons maybe….

Harry:- Oh, look, Donald Trump is furious with us.

Meghan:- Why? It’s none of his business.

Harry: It seems we have dominated the front pages globally and people are already forgetting about his fake Iran war to win the 2020 election. We have stolen his thunder!

Meghan:- Ooh — watch out for those flashes of lightning.

Harry:- William and my Dad have blocked me on Facebook and WhatsApp. They are absolutely “incandescent with rage” according to some reports.

Meghan:- Ha! Ha! They will just have to work harder at greeting subjects and cutting ribbons. Poor things!

Harry: I could never manage those scissors very well. This is such a relief! Now let me see what skills I can add to my CV. 10 years in the Army, two tours in Afghanistan and then all our charity work….

Meghan:- Oh we must remember to remove that ad for the housekeeper where we went on about

“Standard skills, like organization, teamwork, time management, and eagerness are also crucial to being chosen.”

Those are pretty standard for any job.

Harry:- Hmm. Not so sure I have any of those skills…. But I am eager!

Meghan:- Oh my eager beaver! Love you lots and tons more when you’ll get rid of your royal baggage.

Harry:- And.. I am still worth $40 million. Plus all those priceless jewels left to me by my lovely Mum. Not bad for an ex-royal eh?

Meghan:- Seems I am only worth about $5 million so I will have to go back to being an actress. Poor me!

Harry:- Oh well, I will just have to be a stay- at- home Dad.
