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

It was on Thursday night claimed that Archie had remained in Canada while the Duke and Duchess flew back to London under the care of Jessica Mulroney, the Duchess's close friend. as per the DT

I also hope they leave and do something genuinely useful. Don’t mind if Meghan takes up acting again and Harry does er whatever he does.
As long as they don’t trade on bring Royal it’s all good.

Rosspoldarkssaddle · 09/01/2020 23:47

I wonder.... when archie starts school, how is the 6 monthly commute between countries going to work? Will D&D get fined for taking him out during term time?! I can't see them putting him into boarding school if they are changing things from the norm. I can see them living in Canada and just using frogmore as a holiday home. That way, she doesn't need a British passport.

Sadly, that’s precisely what they intend to do.

@MrsBrentford Really? Your language speaks volumes.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 10/01/2020 00:17

Just heard that Meghan has flown back to Canada. Barely time to get over the jet lag! She just can’t wait to be shot of it all can she? Poor Harry is left to deal with the fall out.

NotEverythingIsBlackandwhite · 10/01/2020 00:23

@paulinespeaksmanylanguages

You just sound like an apologist for them and you're faintly silly in your defence of two twollops
I was just reporting what it says in the press. I'm not defending H&M at all. I think they're attention-seeking idiots who've been really bloody disrespectful to the Queen. I'd be happy for them to be stripped of their titles, funds, home and security and told to fuck off go it alone and have all the privacy they want. I just wish we could then gag the press about them.

I'm appalled that they had their website done in secret back in March and intend to exploit their RF links by trademarking Sussexroyal.

After having read today's papers I'm now annoyed that a source reported that DOS had no intention of coming back to the UK after the Christmas holidays. Ok, she popped back for 2-3 days while H dropped his bombshell but is now back in Canada.

I think they have insulted the Queen all because they wanted to be central to the future RF plans...and they were going to be anyway. They were annoyed that the Queen had a picture taken with only her next 3 heirs. They were annoyed because they weren't in a photo on the table where the Queen did her Christmas speech. They think they are rolled out when it suits the RF and then constrained on other occasions and it is reported that Harry believes other members of the RF are jealous of their popularity. That doesn't strike me as people who want to not be in the public eye - quite the opposite.

I'm so disappointed in Harry. What the hell happened to him?

lilybetsy · 10/01/2020 00:52

What happened to him ?

He fell in love with a smart, narcissistic woman who ruthlessly cut out her family, her friends who didn’t live up to her new status, and has now persuaded him to cut off his own family. This relentless quest for me me me will have no space for Harry soon and she will discard him too. I give it 2 years

scaryteacher · 10/01/2020 01:05

I thought it might go for another 3 years lilybetsy..time for another sprog, and more hostages to fortune. He'll be back in UK, sadder, wiser and poorer.

fallen121 · 10/01/2020 01:05

I see Madame Tussauds in London have removed the wax figures of Harry and Meghan and relegated them to a cupboard somewhere. And the New York Tussauds has indicated that it will shortly follow suit.

I somehow doubt that their grand plans to make millions out of being celebrities is really going to work somehow. Didn't Fergie go bankrupt?

MyBlueMoonbeam · 10/01/2020 01:07

@DuchessofWoke - agree 100%
@lilybetsy - I gave it 3 years initially so we are probably both not far off the mark 😏

pallisers · 10/01/2020 01:12

That is really funny - Madame Tussauds as a barometer of financial worth.

These people are wealthy. The royal family is from generations of inherited wealth - it is the definition of a royal family. Sarah Ferguson wasn't a royal. Harry is - he is from two very wealthy families.

He is never going to be poor or close to poor or even struggling with poor or even worry about anything but sufficient security for his family.

And by the way how will that work for the UK? No security so the brother of the future king is kidnapped?? Imagine that shit show.

Of course the UK needs to provide security for people born into a risky life that could be problematic for the UK government. It is like the US providing secret service for presidents/ children/wives.

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 10/01/2020 01:21

Agree 100% @DuchessofWoke

You really are woke!GrinWine

Blind gossip have solved another item from October which is pretty spot on also. It's almost like they are right about how the situation is playing out Hmm I wonder who is giving them the info.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 10/01/2020 01:33

I think the fact that Meghan is not going to Kate’s birthday party speaks for itself too

Gemm83 · 10/01/2020 01:33

Just seen a couple of recent photos of Harry. I say this with genuine concern but in both images he looks like the lights are on but no one is home....his mental health must be through the floor at the moment. 😔

fallen121 · 10/01/2020 01:36

@pallisers

I never mentioned security in my post but maybe your response is just a general response to what has gone before.

I also never implied that I thought they were going to starve or be short of money. What I was saying is that to make money out of being a celebrity you actually need people to like you. Fergie wasn't much liked and had about as much financial sense as Homer Simpson. The celebrities Meghan likes to hang out with are notoriously fickle and if the Royal titles are taken away will drop her like a hot brick.

Yes, Harry has breeding and is genuinely Royal and also has money. Although what he inherited from Queen Mum and Diana possibly wouldn't keep him forever if he didn't have any other source of income. But don't forget that as their own website points out, the Sovereign Grant that H&M are prepared to forego only represents 5% of their income. The other 95% comes from the Duchy of Cornwall. Prince Charles gives William and Harry roughly equal shares as regards the allocation he makes to his offspring (at least, that's what their accounts would appear to suggest). But the Duchy of Cornwall is administered by the current heir to the Throne. And if Queenie pops her clogs anytime soon then the new Prince of Wales and distributor of the Duchy of Cornwall largesse will become William. Who I understand is not exactly 100% happy about the current situation. So that particularly gravy train could come to a halt rather abruptly. Just sayin'

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 10/01/2020 01:38

Yes the blindgossip is uncanny. The Big Plan is actually chilling in it's accuracy.

DeeCeeCherry · 10/01/2020 01:48

All the racist shit is just smoke and mirrors

All the racist shit is silly racist and sexist women bitching about a woman they don't even know, because you can't stand that Harry didn't marry a white English Rose.

Plus you all sound like cheap gossip rag lemmings.

Crying into your cornflakes because Meghan isn't staying around to put up with the bitch-hive and right wing media scum.

In shock news - She doesn't have to listen to you or do what you say. So you'll just have to get over it won't you?

Tough.

I said 3 years too. I reckon it could manage to limp on for 18 months before he's out on his ear. I hope the RF will be magnanimous and take him back into the fold when it happens though. Poor Harry.

NotEverythingIsBlackandwhite · 10/01/2020 02:01

Archie will probably be home-schooled.

I'm only surprised she lasted so long. you know that thing of enduring until the people who hate you no longer notice you is so last century.

I see an international custody battle looming in a couple of years.
