Harry stepping down as a royal family member

[kittykatkitty]

Just read this on their instagram page.
They plan on becoming private citizens

Yes I am intrigued by how it all works. Their new website says they won't go into any details about the logistics of security though so I doubt I'll get any answers! Apparently Priti Patel has been brought into discussions because of this issue, will be interesting to see what view she takes.

Blimey, if Harry's Dad says ' your not getting anymore out of me from my income ( the Duchy) ' that really will be the finish and they might then go no contact completely!! It's a heck of a lot of money.

They really are very cheesed off aren't they?
Might be a big wake up call that you really can't do what you like with ' the firm'!
Meghan might be cool with it : I doubt Harry will , as he doesn't know any different and is used to 'money on tap. '
It'll be the final nail in the coffin for them ( guess)
What a hoo ha!

I wonder if she will be in Canada most of the time, doing her thing and Harry will travel back now and again to do a bit of light royal duties.
Was the visit to Canada House an attempt to ingratiate themselves with the Canadians as they're planning on settling there?i actually think moving to Canada wouldn't be a bad idea but the way they've done it has just screwed everything up.

Oh, they'll have plenty of powerful very good "friends" who will be more than happy to put them up and wine and dine them. If stuck they can ask Prince Andrew for a few phone numbers.

Zara 'name drops ' , I would bet my last fiver on it! They all do it ; it's not what you know but who and that's in all walks of life not just for them! That's how it all works.

H&M have a combined worth of £34M. I doubt they will struggle 😀

The visit to Canada house was to get the family visas!

Well they've deleted the bit about being entitled to publicly funded security as 'internationally protected people' from their website. Just read a comment on another thread suggesting that they are editing the website based on twitter comments and what won't fly with the public!

On another thread someone wrote that this relationship had a lot of ' red flags' and the more I read on here and on line generally the more I'm convinced that it has.

How do they justify long haul flights back and forth, not long after preaching to the rest of us about the negative effects of flying? #doasisaynotdoasido.

Especially having returned and then flying back three days later!! It isn't realistic to think they can live between two countries. Once Archie is at nursery and school it is even less doable. So much for all Harry's so called green credentials.

I was one that wrote about red flags 80’s but I doubt I’m the only who has written it or thought it.

Hilarious that they are changing their website wording based on twitter. I bet they thought we’d all fall over & clap them on the back cheering them all the way.

What grates on me is all this 'thank you for your wonderful support' and 'with your support'. What makes them think the public support them?

I've read that Harry has an engagement on Thursday.

He won't be going to Canada & back in that time will he??!!

That's probably why he stayed on. It won't be long before they're both gone and we only hear about their doings from abroad. Which will be a relief.

Seeing as though they prepared the website without assistance from the palace, I imagine now they’ll be correcting quite a lot of it.

Imagine having the brass neck to set up the site, under your royal title, explaining how you’re going to give up your royal title and answering all of the questions us little ppl might have without even checking if those answers are correct.

I've just looked at their website and can't believe how much it's been rewritten. I don't know whether to laugh at these to or to loathe them. Their hypocrisy is staggering.

I cannot see the public tolerating a single penny from the public purse being spent on these two now or subsiding their home and travel. I'd like to see it all removed including their titles.

Apparently Priti Patel has been brought into discussions because of this issue, will be interesting to see what view she takes.

Jesus Christ, can things get any worse?

Yes - I actually think they foolishly thought they had public support. While they're in England and doing some work here maybe (fuck all that I've seen). But to gallivant around the world doing less than fuck all? Nobody will want that. They can fund that themselves or there will be a mahooosive backlash against the institution.

If they want to fuck off to Canada - off with them. But please don't fucking expect us to fund you. In ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM!!!!!!

But please don't fucking expect us to fund you.

Will you give it a rest. As if you get to decide anything 😀😀😀

Does anyone think that they will lose their titles or that Charles will stop funding them?

The Queen is all about duty. I don't think she'll be fond of this idea. Her, Charles and William had a phonecall apparently. I'm guessing that was about whether or not to fund the pair.

Does anyone think that they will lose their titles or that Charles will stop funding them?

I don’t think they’ll lose the Sussex title because if they do they’d become Prince and Princess Henry and the press will instantly start calling her Princess Meghan

To take Harry’s princely title away would be massive, and I think would backfire given the issues with Prince Andrew

At most they’d take away the HRH

I don’t think Charles will stop funding him either, but they might find that they’ll get an Edward VIII style deal where they get a set amount per year and that’s that

I wonder how many other potential Olympic-standard equestrians there are out there whose parents can't afford riding lessons?
