See link. News just announced.

It does sound like they might be escaping from the public scrutiny and online abuse.

Chilly how much ££ can we put on 12 year old kid whose mum died in brutal painful pointless tragic accident, paraded out for public satisfaction to keep them happy at her death?

What cost for that, public appearance?

If it was me I'd never forgive that.

Let's call it quits as a country and what we want from him.

@Janus

Could it be anything to do with the Princes falling out over the summer because of the thing we are not allowed to discuss?!
The Sun is reporting that H&M didn't see W&K for 6 months following their wedding in May 2018, at least in a personal capacity. When was the thing we are not allowed to discuss said to have occurred?

Dongdingdong · 09/01/2020 22:57

My friend is adamant there is no Archie

Sorry - what? Confused

TheMustressMhor · 09/01/2020 22:59

@Dongdingdong

Some people are adamant that Meghan's pregnancy was faked.

I think this is bizarre.

@paulinespeaksmanylanguages

I think he has regretted it a bit, they've had a row. She's announced I'm off, with or without you. Off she's gone, probably spouting some shite about how he can say ta ta to her and the baby and he's left floundering.
Don't be so ridiculous. They returned from Canada and did not intend to stay in the UK. Archie was left behind in Canada with the nanny. DOS returned to Canada last night leaving Harry to deal with the fallout and sort out the details with the RF.

paulinespeaksmanylanguages · 09/01/2020 23:02

He was ok though wasn't he when he was dressing up in Nazi uniforms and running around after girls, getting pissed-nothing wrong with the latter.

All this self pitying dire shit has only arrived recently and he has been made to feel that he is still a poor little lost boy, misunderstood and unloved. Megan is the only one who can save him, she tells him and he believes it-he probably weeps at pictures of himself as a child.

Public self pity from one of the most privileged people in the world is nauseating, especially when he didn't seem to have it in his twenties.

He needs to cut it out-the pillock. I know he's dim-he can't help that-but no need to be a twat as well.

Indeed, in his position I would think that the Royal Family and the public had had everything they were ever going to get from me and I would be taking as much cash as I could and telling you all to shove it.

Snort at the 'poor Harry' seduced by a siren stuff up thread. I properly LOL'd. MN does not disappoint.

paulinespeaksmanylanguages · 09/01/2020 23:05

@NotEverythingIsBlackandwhite

You just sound like an apologist for them and you're faintly silly in your defence of two twollops.

SaphfireRose · 09/01/2020 23:05

People on here are absolutely batshit with their 'reasons' to dislike her, and they are actually proving out points. One above even said she doesn't value family, and attacked her with being NC with her father and sister and brother.

If Meghan was an ordinary woman on here who has been used and abused by her family, her father selling her privacy to tabloids for money, etc, we'd all be saying good on her for going NC and pointing her to the Stately Homes thread.

BUT, because it is Meghan, she is ATTACKED for being NC with her destructive and toxic family. Some have such a deranged and irrational hatred of her, they use any and every excuse to justify their hatred. But none of them hold water. It all comes back to racism. And the more people on here do gymnastics to deny, the more it clearly is. The 'oh they're not even together', 'Archie doesn't exist' is more proof of how unhinged people can be. Fancy being that invested to hate someone so much, that you make yourself believe they are not together, or never were together, or Archie isn't even real. I mean, do these posters even stop to actually think how they come across?

All the people saying Archie has been left with the nanny-maybe it's ARCHIE'S nanny he has been left with ie Meghan's Mum?

ItalianinLondon · 09/01/2020 23:08

Why would Archie not exist? Or, more to the point, why would they have made him up if he didn't exist? Don't get it :S

JenZenn · 09/01/2020 23:10

Shock Some of the vicious comments on here. Shameful.

Although I agree with what you have posted about his family, I do find it interesting that you don't say anything bad about Diana.

JanesKettle · 09/01/2020 23:12

The important thing is that people will still be able to buy SussexTM socks and pencils.

Redrosesandsunsets · 09/01/2020 23:12

Is there any chance they recently visited Canada house just to do paperwork to move back to Canada - in light of the baby supposedly staying there and megan flying back there as mentioned in the press?
Everyone said a couple of days ago, it’s work as usual back in London and they were seeing an exhibition and thanking the Canadians for their holidays, but Canada house would have the authority to sign the papers they needed to resettle back there and do their own business. Just a thought. Funny how in a few days everything changes. I don’t think it’s ok how it went but I wait in hope that there’s more and maybe Meghan and Harry have good reason to move to Canada, but I do suggest if this is all real they need to give up their titles and money etc. There are many people in the world with nothing and this could be received pretty badly if they walk away with both (freedom and money/titles). The BRF comes at a price. Hence all the money, new outfits, celebrity status etc but if you leave the BRF you leave all that behind too.

SaphfireRose · 09/01/2020 23:14

I'm not a Royalist. I would love us to become a Republic. I honestly don't believe that there would be even half the amount of people defending Meghan if some of her haters would so scarily batshit crazily unhinged. I think some of the haters are so far gone they have caused people to rise up and defend Meghan. Of course though, they will never understand this.

TheMustressMhor · 09/01/2020 23:16

All the people saying Archie has been left with the nanny-maybe it's ARCHIE'S nanny he has been left with ie Meghan's Mum?

I think they would be unlikely to use the term "nanny" for "grandmother".

I think there are an awful lot of suckers on this thread. I think the whole thing was masterminded from the day she met him. You really think this LA actress wanted to give it all up for a lifetime of royal convention, boring Sandringham shooting weekends and ribbon cutting in provincial towns? A lifetime of standing two paces behind Kate Middleton at every public event? I don’t think Meghan ever had a moment’s intention of this working out. Her plan is simply coming to fruition. Cut Harry off from his family and friends, now he has no-one to guide and direct him but her. Lock him in with the mothering and fawning - produce a child - then get him back to her home country to CASH IN THE CHIPS.

It’s all about the money folks.

If you believe otherwise, you are willfully stupid. But yeah, let’s say Britons are racists and have hounded her out. Keep saying it, she wants you to say it - all good material for the chat shows.

I feel genuinely sorry for Prince Harry. He’s been through a lot in his life - now he’s lost his family as well.

Redrosesandsunsets · 09/01/2020 23:26

Is she American or Canadian though? Why are they choosing Canada? How do they get permission to live and work there if they not Canadian, or does he get official residency as BRF in a commonwealth nation. Weren’t the papers saying they wanted to move to LA or something else?

BubblesBuddy · 09/01/2020 23:31

Duchess: I think you are right. Harry had a whale of a time before he met Meghan. No signs of stress or mental anguish. He even seemed to get on with Charles. He was supposed to be a soldier. He just seems manipulated. Of course he’s second to Will and Kate. But that doesn’t mean he has to get annoyed because he’s not in a photo! He was not here, was he?

SaphfireRose · 09/01/2020 23:32

So the rational people are 'willfully stupid', yet the unhinged conspiracy theorist are.....not? Thou protest too much.

BubblesBuddy · 09/01/2020 23:32

The Times has suggested California today. They will just use wealthy peoples homes won’t they!?

Leflic · 09/01/2020 23:36

PuttingouttheFirewithGasoline they won’t be saying goodbye to any of that. Archie will have a nanny whilst Meghan and Harry go out to their charity balls and get papped.
You’re mistaken if you think they’re doing this for a quiet life.

DeeCeeCherry · 09/01/2020 23:36

Good for them. Its been funny today seeing some acting and speaking as if they're spurned lovers abandoned by Harry & Meghan.

They weren't wanted at the table so they got up and left. I don't see the problem. The way the media and some loonies go on, Meghan must fear for her & her child's life. I hope they leave the UK then hopefully press intrusion may be a little less bad. Is Piers Morgan suicidal yet?
