@donewithitalltodayandxmas

But he wouldn't be a prince as thats not bow it works , the set up is weird but something Harry would know Its to easy to say I am not naming named as would be damaging ? The damage is done
It was expected the Queen would issue LP’s same as she did for Charlotte and Louie.

Also the discussion to change the LP’s about grandchildren when Charles becomes King is a big change.

You need to compare to zara's children etc

@PurpleCrocuses

People who have an agenda to hate Meghan will obviously automatically say that every word out of her mouth is lies.

What will they say when Harry joins her? Will they say that Harry is a liar too?

And people who have an agenda to blindly support MM will automatically believe every word she says.

And people with no agenda have no clue who is lying about what or WTF really happened in any of those palaces.

It’s a mess any way you look at it.

Lampzade · 08/03/2021 01:56

@VanillaIce

Lampzade who do you mean by “everyone here” ?

Do you really believe she didn’t research the family she was marrying into?

I believe that she was a victim of racism. That’s what I am more shocked about tbh
Beetle76 · 08/03/2021 01:57

Sorry - watching and not typing as I don’t want to miss any of the subtleties. (Not that any of this is subtle)
@PurpleCrocuses is doing a stellar job of saying what is happening.

I’m not doubting what Meghan is saying is true. I’m just not sure I’d be saying it if I was in her position. If it’s true, Harry should be the one calling HIS family out. It’s just awful.

BlueThistles · 08/03/2021 01:57

She's now saying SHE CONTEMPLATED SUICIDE 👀

Xyzzzzz · 08/03/2021 01:57

@Tippexy

Now she’s saying she told Harry she was suicidal.
I’m not surprised. It sounds horrible. But as they've stated the Queen is nice. So who’s behind the behaviour of keeping her out etc?
annanicolesmith · 08/03/2021 01:58

@Kinsters Meghan's kids would have got upgraded when it's Charles as Monarch though. I think she wanted letters issued as were done for Kate's kids (though they're direct line of succession)

I think the difficulty here is that Meghan's misinformed, Harry's thick as two planks, and the family weren't willing to inform and had an idea about her already.

SeafrontBingo · 08/03/2021 01:58

This is so reminiscent of Diana, people will see her in the same way and she will grow in popularity immeasurably and become iconic as a result.

It's very brave, what will the consequences be?

PurpleCrocuses · 08/03/2021 01:58

donewithitalltodayandxmas if you stretch any further you'll injure yourself.

The first ever mixed-race blood royal, the child of two of the most famous people in the UK, who within a few years will be the King's grandson, is very clearly at huge risk and it would be extremely unsafe for him not to have security.

Comparing Archie to Zara's children is ludicrous - how many people could even name Zara's child or children? (I don't even know how many kids she has.)

donewithitalltodayandxmas · 08/03/2021 01:58

@JustLyra well why was it expected , williams kids are more direct heirs so its all very different
I thought it was no secret that charles wants to slim down the monarchy and a lot public not do supportive of a monarchy now

Lampzade · 08/03/2021 01:58

I am not sure if the RF can ever recover from this. No wonder they were frantically churning out negative press about Meghan and Harry, this is some deep stuff

DeRigueurMortis · 08/03/2021 01:59

@GoLightlyontheEarth

Terribly concerned about whether Archie is called Prince or not, but hates the RF and the restrictions it places upon them. Why then would she want him to be a Prince?

Ok the facts.

If you are the grandson/daughter of a reigning monarch you inherit the title of Prince/Princess only if your lineage comes from the male line.

This is why the toe rag Andrew's daughters are princesses.

Edward and Sophie's children are entitled to be prince/princess but as parents they declined.

Princess Anne's children were not entitled to be P's because she is female. The Queen offered to make them royal but Anne said no thanks.

William and Catherine's first child is a prince because he's a direct heir to the throne.

His siblings were "made" princes/Princess by the Queen to keep them "equal" but they would have had this status anyway when their grandfather- Charles became King - as would Harry's children.

It's been reported that the Queen offered to make Archie royal but it was declined by his parents.

That said when Charles is King their children become royal unless they decline it at adulthood.

annanicolesmith · 08/03/2021 01:59

@SeafrontBingo I don't think they will. Diana got cheated on by Charles - Meghan doesn't have that crucial insult.

Ohwhatevu · 08/03/2021 01:59

She was right to have ran like fuck away from that institution

The Royal Family will be fine...
Tippexy · 08/03/2021 02:00

If I told my husband one morning that I wanted to take my own life there’s no way in God’s green earth he’d make us attend a party that evening. He’d stay at home, with me.

GoLightlyontheEarth · 08/03/2021 02:00

What exactly was making her suicidal, is she saying?

Because one of the reasons it was done for William’s children was so they didn’t have a random change of title down the line.

Also, whilst Charles wants to slim the monarchy it was expected that that would be his children and his grandchildren.

donewithitalltodayandxmas · 08/03/2021 02:01

@PurpleCrocuses no you don't understand how the royal family works , harry would or should of known all this
Also its not like they don't have money to pay for this, zara, beatrice etc are all the queens grandchildren they don't all have paid for security either

PurpleCrocuses · 08/03/2021 02:02

And people with no agenda have no clue who is lying about what or WTF really happened in any of those palaces.

But you are not comparing like for like.

Meghan directly explicitly said Kate reduced her to tears, and that Kate later apologised.

Kate has never come out and said "Meghan made me cry."

The detail about the flowers is key because it's an admission of guilt. It's very unlikely Meghan just invented a fake story about flowers.

Like I said, let's wait and see whether KP issue an official denial the way they did over the Kate hair extensions story, if KP lead a "sources close to Kate say..." the way they did yesterday, or if they ignore it and we just get a wave of "Will and Kate are saddened but are remaining out of it" articles."

Inkpaperstars · 08/03/2021 02:02

I’m not doubting what Meghan is saying is true. I’m just not sure I’d be saying it if I was in her position. If it’s true, Harry should be the one calling HIS family out. It’s just awful.

I think I would just be focusing on a new life, a healthy little boy and another baby on the way, lovely home, lots of money, strong loving marriage, her mum with her for support. I don’t think I would want the stress of all this especially when pregnant, I would just put the well-being of my immediate family first at that point.

But then I wouldn’t be planning on any sort of global role that demanded a certain reputation, they seem to want very much to be public figures. That sort of major global role and fame seems essential to them.

Even still not sure this sort of thing will help with it.

annanicolesmith · 08/03/2021 02:02

@GoLightlyontheEarth lack of 'protection' and not seeing a way out of not being protected I think. She's unclear on what protection she wanted but she has said she wished they'd have made statements against rumours that were untrue when they were willing to lie for others.

JustLyra · 08/03/2021 02:02

It's been reported that the Queen offered to make Archie royal but it was declined by his parents.

That said when Charles is King their children become royal unless they decline it at adulthood

@DeRigueurMortis Meghan has just said that they were told Archie wouldn’t be titled, and that changes were being made so he wouldn’t be when Charles is King.

She categorically denied that he was offered the title.
