Well I don't think those are mutually exclusive options but he doesn't need to be outside the country to adopt better parenting than his father had, his brother has already shown that with his own kids.

Other options exist...
Not "being angry" at specific individuals, but the whole institution (including the rest of our aristocracy) and how they still warp our society.
Being irritated that none of our news media will just ignore the buggers, but insist on trotting out every little story.
Being annoyed at the sheer hypocrisy, paraded through "friends" in the media, about wanting "privacy", then running screaming to get your "story" or your "truth" out there.
Being annoyed that none of them pay taxes to the same proportion of income as I ever did, like any standard working person (aaaaaah, there's my problem - "working"...).
The options you offer don't mean much to me.

Probably nothing bar the price tag and you can probably get better, cheaper at your average WI sale or farmers' market.

Bringing jam or marmalade to England is rather like taking coal to Newcastle. Imagine trying to trademark a place name, as former cable tv actress Meghan Markle tried to do initially. Unfortunately, she has no training in business and enterprise. She seems to have really thought that all she needs to is slap her fancy heraldry logo and title on the label in her fancy not-caligraphy writing, mark up the price a few notches and - bingo! - she'd be successful. It's a runny disaaaaster, dahling!

You seem really down on the fact that she worked for a living. Successfully.
Doesn't Charles sell food with his labels on it?

Yeah, I just see it all as satire, so I can't help coming across as irreverent. Especially as the UK tabloids are treating the whole thing as a near-constitutional crisis.

He did (Duchy Originals etc), but he's passed that lot on to Billy Boy, as he is no longer a mere duke since he got kingified.
And they are over-priced and the source of mockery for quits a few comedians.
Yep - very profitable it is as well. They are now his son's assets but he has carried on the family tradition of selling jams and other products at exorbitant prices.
How dare someone else in the family try to exploit the family's name!

The freeloaders are back in town! I never managed to finish the Lownie book but my goodness, the sheer amount of grifting by Fergie...

There's also Royal Warrants that they grant to other companies. Exactly how much money changes hands seems to be a carefully guarded secret, but obviously they don't grant such brand endorsements for nuthin.
I think that is one of the things the grubby money grabbing pair aren't allowed to do, I mean it would seem incredibly exploitative of their position to endorse products and services with a royal warrant for a kick back.... That's only for the royals being paid by the public!

King Charles III has announced that Prince Harry and the former cable tv actress, Meghan Markle are still not working royals and their HRH are still in abeyance.
In other breaking news: the late HM Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip are both still dead.

Interesting that Chucky has to get one of his chief flunkies to issue reminders that Hazza isn't a HRH any more.
It's almost like someone expects someone else to make some spurious claims. Or at least spurious implications.
But our decent, honest, hard-working royals wouldn't think such a thing, as they are all as honest as an honest thing...

So Harry and the former cable tv actress Meghan Markle have clapped back and issued a statement from their 'office', saying they were surprised by KCIII's statement and hadn't known of it in advance. BP claim they did get a copy prior to the public getting one. One suspects they didn't get much notice of its content. Then again, Chucky didn't know the pair would be descending on his Kingdom until a couple of days beforehand, so maybe there is some schadenfreude there. 'Private citizens' issuing public statements from their own 'office' 
As one does.
Someone has looked into the implications of the HRH titles being 'in abeyance'. Whilst not a Letters Patent, it does mean more than a figure or speech or a pleasantry. HRH is a style which can only be used in limited contexts.
No wonder Harry is said to be 'furious'.
