Meghan seems to have some svengali-like control over Harry.
He is desperate to keep this marriage together. She, not so much.
He's completely lost control. He will do anything. So many people had doubts about her sincerity of the marriage, thinking he might be being used for her gains. The developments prove it.
Harry meanwhile is desperate to prove everyone wrong as he took such a risk marrying so quickly to someone who clearly (to so many others) wasn't going to be happy with her lot so will bend over backwards for her - witness his embarrassing touting for business with Disney while working as a representative of the queen.
From someone that was dutiful and knew his position and was in favour of the institution of monarchy, she's whispered in his ear so much he thinks himself a victim of it all now. It's some form of Stockholm Syndrome. Rather than think they were getting the tone wrong with a lot of the public, and the criticism was stemming from that, no, we were all racist. They basically didn't like the criticism. They wanted to be loved for everything they did - Harry wanted to follow in his mother's footsteps and be loved by the public. Problem is her style (which became his) wasn't going to work in the UK market, we're different to Americans, a lot more cynical and sarcastic. Harry, out of touch as ever, couldn't guide her about that. He lost his balls.
Not so long ago Harry told Meghan to look forward on the balcony and to stop turning around and talking at some event. He knew the role and knew the disrespect this would cause.
In such a short time he's now holding a loaded gun to his family to get what he and Meghan wants? He's unstable. The RF are in such a terrible position - either way I think they lose Harry. H&M's behaviour is disgraceful. It shows what a phoney she is - a feminist, my arse. If she was she'd relinquish all titles and become Meghan Markle and trade off that, but that won't make as much money. The woman and her man are prepared to sell themselves for money. No class.
People have been saying take their title away from them - they can simply be Prince Harry & Princess Harry. She would love that.
Americans know what Princesses are. Duchesses not so much. That wouldn't be a demotion in Americans' eyes. I doubt most British people know how the royal family titles work either - I didn't, and still don't to an extent. HRH just sounds like extra flamboyant bollocks so it doesn't matter if it stays or goes for their purposes in the US (although Harry would mind).
A lot of Americans are taken in by royalty titles. Some give their children high-faluting names that you don't hear over here - Majesty, Reign, Sir, Prince, King, Princess (yes, I know, Katie Price). Titles are currency over there and Meghan knows it.
In some ways I'm glad this has happened as it is another nail in the coffin of royalty. They need winding down.
