figgy Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 There a reason be didn't tell grand mam marrr. He would gotten a ####ing and told some home truth's. So instead he took the slinky way out, Meghan has been nothing but trouble since she got her tits in his face. The princes were close had fun and stood by eachother. Rumours of a rift between them only came about after she got involved with Harry. He wants out fine his choice but out should mean out. Fund yourself,. Give up your title, no HRH no protection paid for. Give up the Duke and duchess titles. Get on being Harry Markle, Meghan's new bitch. Biggest mistake he has made, not going to the head of his family and his queen. Wonder if James Hewitt pops round for tea and baby sitting.

From the Express: The working engagements for the Royals for 2019 are as follows: Princess Anne: 195 Prince Charles: 177 The Queen: 174 Prince Andrew: 139 Prince Edward: 119 Prince William: 108 Prince Edward, Duke of Kent: 05 Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester: 105 Prince Harry: 98 Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall: 81 Sophie, Countess of Wessex: 81 Kate, Duchess of Cambridge: 56 Princess Alexandra: 43 Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester: 42 Meghan Markle: 28 The list needs a serious modern reduction anyway?

Thunderbird Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Looks like they're going full Kardashian. Apparently there are a hundred or so 'Sussex Royal' trademarks registered.

Old farrier Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 So we who are judging them 🤭 we all asked our parents and grandparents before we did anything?🤔 none of us know what is happening behind the moat and portcullis I’m sure the privileged life has a price As for the expense He was born a prince of England and this can’t be changed It comes with benefits Mostly funded by his father from the duchey of Cornwall estates the cost of the royal purse to the public is small compared to a general election the payments to Europe or the whole britexit saga personally think the media should back off and give them some space tin crown on 👑 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but when working for a 'firm' such as the Royal family is, you would discuss and agree role changes internally before publicising them. Personally, I think he has behaved 'well out of order'. The Queen has been put in a very difficult position. She is elderly, has dedicated her whole life to the 'family business' and may no longer be able to get much help from her 'rock', Philip, and has also lost the assistance of Andrew. I am judging Harry and Megan, not for wanting to make changes (if they want 'out' I'm sure that can be arranged in a suitably diplomatic way), but for the way in which it has all been handled and the way it must have affected the Queen..

No, the only way the two of them can make the millions they desire is by selling their souls to the American media circus. They'll end up competing with the likes of the Kardashians for endorsements and put themselves and child under even more intense scrutiny, no doubt resulting in needing extra tax payer funded security. Personally i really don't care as long as they cut the ties and funding from the public purse. I also think that the wilds and freedoms of Canada are a whole lot more attractive than here. Which ones of us wouldn't scoot given the chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raja Clavata Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 A slightly different take to the majority of the views expressed here, lifted from another site: Dear Harry, We have watched you grow from a smiley, cheeky little boy, who adored his mother, his brother and his little trio, to one who quickly had to grow up. Overnight. We watched , along with the whole world, as your life, your grief and your pain....was blasted all over our television screens. We watched you walk behind ...that...carriage. We watched you, a little 12 year old boy, be expected to keep up with the men around you, and emotionally cope with what you were being faced with. You had no hand to hold. No arms to bury yourself in. No one wiping away the tears you no doubt desperately wanted to cry. We watched, little one, as Princess Diana was paraded, slowly, in front of millions. But she wasn't a Princess to you. She was 'mummy'. And you suddenly lost the someone who made you smile, laugh, and gave you affection like no other person in your life. We watched as the world kept turning. But yours stood still. We watched you struggle as a teenager and young adult with this new reality. We watched you rebel against the expectations of 'your lot'. We watched you just want to be normal. Despite being reminded that you're not. We watched you push the boundaries of what a member of the royal family could do. Where they could serve. Who they could be. We watched as you tried to find fulfillment. We watched you establish the Invictus Games, so many charities, and help so many gain purpose back in their lives, when you were still struggling to find your own . We watched as you, finally, found someone warm, caring, happy....someone who, like your mother, wasn't afraid to show you love and affection in public. She loved you, and she didn't care who knew it or what people thought. We watched the press pick her apart. We watched you hate them for it. We watched you become a husband infront of millions. A much happier man. We watched you become a father, and saw how proud you were of your wife and son. We watched you protect with everything you have - your own little family. We know why: we saw what happened to your mother. We saw. The media is a cruel, heartless beast. We watched as you found your calling. You found who you are. You found more of Harry. And less of the Prince. We watched you smile again. A beaming smile. Holding your baby. Holding your wife's hand. We watched you be brave. So brave. You've given us enough. You owe us no explanation. We watched as you got a taste of a more fulfilling, quieter, healthier life. We watched you shock the world by admitting that, yes, you just wanted to live it. As Harry. Meghan. And Archie. We watched you say, Prince or not- I am also a father, a husband, and a man. Let me be one. And so ... We will be watching, proudly, as you go off to start your new chapter. You won't lose us. We will be watching, relieved, as you finally get to live your days as YOU choose to. That little boy, with his head down, in his big suit, walking behind his mother's dead body - that little boy who has had to rebuild his world, do his 'royal' duties, and have his mental health dragged through the mud ever since. We will be watching - as much as YOU decide we can - intrigued as to what you will get up to. Where you'll be. What. Who. Go .... be strong. Go .... be happy. Go.... Be....You. We will be watching. And so will she... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Harry and Megan wish to cease involvement on 'the firm' activities, fine, but you also loose the taxpayer funding, houses, fine uniformed positions and all of the trappings of Royalty (as Princess Anne's children largely have). You cannot (in my view, and I am a staunch supporter of the Royal Family) be Royal when it suits you, but be private and have no press when it suits you. Celebrity, whether as a Royal, or as a 'showbiz' is a public interest matter.

I agree with you John, particularly on the point about the strain it has put on the Queen. Regarding press reports, I tend to those with more than a pinch of salt, but who knows.
