William's alleged behaviour to blame?

[lemonoilburner]

For Harry's departure , as suggested?
Is it all rumour or a genuine possibility in
Your opinion?
Surely William's personal life did not offend Harry so much that he would actually step back from his role and life in the UK?

Support his family by himself, lol

I've missed the announcement that Hazza's got a job, then ?

Nobody who is living off money from Dad, so that they don't have to touch their (massive) capital, can be said to be 'supporting his family by himself'.

This couple are so tiresome, like the rest of the RF.

I've got more respect for a bin man (or woman!) who supports a partner and 2.2 kids, and takes them on a (paid for by said bin man) holiday to the seaside once a year.

Truly. These people are parasites.

It's quite amusing that the posters claiming Meghan is XYZ and talking about her motivations and ambitions with the air of someone who knows her personally are the same posters who insist William couldn't possibly have had an affair and that's its all made up by the nasty tabloids. Yet everything those tabloids print about Meghan is to be believed?

Bottom line is that we don't know these people so we have no way of knowing what is and isn't true!

Shows how immature Harry is.

stop with this crap !!

It's possible to think both :

I don't think William has had an affair

I think Meghan has been treated shamefully by the Press, particularly The Mail and it needs addressing.

In spite of this I don't think either Harry or Meghan should be allowed to trade (financially or socially) on the perks of being British Royalty whilst not being working royals or living in Britain. All or nothing TRH Duke/Duchess of Sussex in the UK or plain old Mr and Mrs Windsor in Canada. Jog. You can't have both.

yesss! Stop posting stuff on this thread and keeping it in “Active”

What I don’t understand is why the RF have made such a big song and dance over this, with the ‘they were blindsided -‘ didn’t k own they were going to release a statement comment, plus all the ‘leaks’

They should have just gone along with it and said they were supporting H and M stepping back as senior roles and are mindful of slimmming down the RF. the response would have be so much more positive. Instead they are playing
It all out on live TV, with isn’t going that well for them.

The RF have behaved appallingly in their time.. looks like karmas come back to bite them.

Dreadful bossy female. (Not the Queen!)

Like you know either her or the Queen personally. What a pathetic, dumb comment.

Instead they are playing It all out on live TV, with isn’t going that well for them.

I agree it's not how I would have predicted they would react, but I don't think it's not going well for them.

The public seem to be very sympathetic to the Queen (and to a lesser extent Charles/William) having been blindsided with this and annoyed with Harry and Meghan for having put her in this position. I think if her aim is shoring up support for the main line of succession she's played it well.

Plus she's a woman who has dedicated her entire life to public service and was raised in the shadow of the crisis caused by her uncle's abdication. I can't imagine she's thrilled with Harry's behaviour.

I am laughing at the idea that Rose Hanbury and Kate Middleton spending time at the same event means that Rose could not have had an affair with William.
I remember press coverage of Camilla and Princess Diana at the same events while Diana knew Charles was having an affair with Camilla.

I have to say I'm feeling very manipulated by it all (in the media) and I don't like that.

I suspect that the rumours about an affair are true, and that this, plus the racism and disgusting comments from the press and some public, is enough to make anyone want to leave the country.

Do we really need to speculate? It's none of our business.

Exactly. Unless, apparently, the talk is about Meghan and Harry. Even half of this thread is speculation about them and their marriage and there are some utterly poisonous posts about Meghan on other threads. People talk as though they know her personally and absolutely 100% know what her motivation is. Yet even mention William and Rose Hanbury and people have a hissy fit.

I'm just totally bewildered wondering why anyone actually cares? Surely people have their own problems to focus on? At least they have the money/ choices to do exactly as they please. You only have to read some of the heartbreaking threads on here from people who are struggling with serious issues. Save your pity for those who actually need it!

Yes if that’s the aim it’s going rather well, but I think the tide will turn and more and more people will start to ask what the point of the RF are.
People have started questioning why public money should be spent on H and M it won’t take long before the shadow is cast on all of them and why they can’t be self sufficient.

If they had just come out in support of H and M this would all have been blown over by now.

There was always talk of a slimed down family, the RF could have claimed it as their own idea.

They are now under the microscope again, Diana and their treatment of her being dredged up, how inappropriate it was for a 12 year old to walk behind his mums coffin whist the braying mobs wailed. All the RF’s mistakes being talked about again.

I think the RF have made a massive mistake, and almost got themselves into a corner.

I remember press coverage of Camilla and Princess Diana at the same events while Diana knew Charles was having an affair with Camilla.

Yes, but if your mother had been forced into that position, and been made miserably unhappy by it, would you force your wife to do the same thing?

Of all people I imagine Prince William is very aware of how Diana was treated, and how that ended up for the Royals.

A ‘slimed down’ RF is v entertaining even if it is an autocorrect error.

I think this thing has been massively over-blown by the media tbh. If Harry was next in line to the throne, it would justify this level of reporting, but he isn't.

There certainly seems to be a rift formed between William and Harry though.

I've always felt fond of Harry because I can't see him without seeing that tiny boy walking behind his mother's coffin in front of the eyes of the whole world. So I'm team Harry - whatever that means

I have wondered if all this fuss is to distract from the Andrew scandal.

@cohle If we are going to go down that line of reasoning then surely you would not have an affair in the first place? Except how his own mum felt about her treatment appears not to have stopped William doing the same.

The amount of reporting is because the public are interested. And I agree I think the RF have made a mistake in how they have reacted in the press.

The amount of reporting is because the public are interested

That old chestnut was used to justify why Diana was hounded by the paparazzi too. Don't blame the public. Rupert Murdoch & co decide what goes in our papers, and didn't report on Charles's affair - despite being in the public interest - for years.

I dont agree with the hounding at all. And I don't read anything about the RF except BBC News and here, so I am not supporting gutter press. But it is true that reporters are responding to what stories will sell. There is no conspiracy theory. It is simply what some members of the public want, and therefore what will make money.
So there is a lot of racism in the UK, hence stories criticising Meghan with some underlying racism, does sell.

The amount of threads on MN should give you some clue as to the level of public interest theflushedzebra

Got it in one. We have to wait for "evidence" of Will's behaviour yet all stories of Megan causing a rift and being bossy etc is apparently "true", despite no evidence whatsoever.
