To not understand why the Duke and Duchess of Suffolk only came over for 4 days?

[UndertheCedartree]

I just find this really odd. To fly all that way then only stay 4 days? Surely they had other family to visit, could have made a bit of a holiday of it. I can&t imagine 2 long flights with toddlers that close together - it would be exhausting!

I think Sussex rather than Suffolk is their fiefdom.

Because they’ll be hounded by the press, and whatever they do and say scrutinised

how ironic when they literally sell their soul to the media, selling secrets about the royal family and shit talking for money. They are THE biggest publicity and media hungry hounds there are.

All the royals fly long distances for short amounts of time. Flying private jet must make it much easier. Plus no long queues at security or delayed flights.

If they'd stayed for 2 weeks, you'd be starting a thread called Why Are The Sussex's Hanging Around When the Jubilee Is over?
😂😂😂

They did what they came to do.

I do wonder if they have regrets. They didn't want to leave the RF altogether but they couldn't find a compromise. I think if they'd just given it more time the dust and media frenzy would have settled (as it did with Catherine) but they weren't prepared to sit back and take any of it.

There was absolutely no need for the Oprah interview though and that's what's tipped it for many people. If they'd just left they would still be much lived but their accusations burnt the bridges.

Sussex

Do they have news media where you live?

Why so spiteful?

They have probably been
Back and forth seeing family the whole time. We are all played by the media.

Like the rest of the royals, they have nannies and are able to travel by private jet. Really not that arduous.

Also, if you're a multimillionaire you can pop across the Atlantic any time you want. They don't have to worry about making the most of their air fare by combining holidays with family visits. They lived in England for some time, so I don't really see why they'd choose it as a holiday destination.

On a practical note, there are also security issues for them in this country because they no longer have armed police protection like the rest of the royals and private security teams aren't allowed to carry guns and don't have the same powers to deal with incidents that royal protection officers do, so I'd imagine they feel a bit less safe here than they do elsewhere.

I'm sure we'll hear all about it on Netflix/Oprah/in the upcoming book. Can't wait.

Ooooh look, another wide-eyed post to bring out the Megan haterz.

It’s been widely reported that various royal cousins have been to California to spend time with the Sussexes and they’ve met in other US locations, not to mention the multiple times they could have met under the radar.

That's your perception.

I've no skin in this game IMO they were defending themselves against the leaked stories and gossip stirring from the media.

I've little doubt the comments on skin colour are untrue, the first mixed race DC born into the Royal family of course they discussed it at some point.

Like Meghan said in the interview "I was no-where but everywhere in the media".

Someone was telling the media tales otherwise how did they know about the crying incident? When Meghan was accused in the wrong.

Because it was just a short visit? Why does anyone only go anyway where for a short weekend?

@Lindy2 Who's your pal inside the Palace?
You seem to know exactly how they were told? 👀

The Duke of Suffolk was executed for treason in 1554. He was the father of Lady Jane Grey.

Who the hell are the Duke and Duchess of Suffolk😳

If they’d stayed any longer they would have found more things to moan and bitch about.
good riddance

They got booed at the ceremony. Why would they stay longer than necessary? They couldn't do right for doing wrong no matter what they did. If they'd not come they'd have been slated for ignoring Harry's granny. They came and got booed and people asked why they bothered and why they were invited. Now you're saying they should have stayed longer. They can't do anything right, so I really hope they just did what they pleased and what suited them.

Well said.

I suspect it didn't go quite as they had hoped and Harry may have found himself realising he has thrown away the connection w the wider family.
Being booed probably made them realise how much they have F'd up.

Did they not share their travel plans with you? Weird

How do you know how long the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stayed who told you have you got inside info or do you just want to be nasty over folks you don't know and have never met......very odd
