Harry and Meghan Resigning (Act 6 Scene 2) Is Everyone Okay?

[TheMustressMhor]

This is Thread Eight in a series which I did not imagine would last more than one.

Meghan's friends are now writing on social media that she has been fortunate to "escape the clutches" of the Royal Family.

We, who care enough for the Queen that we are appalled by Meghan's blatant disrespect for the Crown (and the family which embraced her) are still reeling as we go from revelation to revelation. This bizarre and unprecedented situation has unfolded over a period of just eight days.

We are now beginning to see what Meghan's likely agenda was. It seems that abandoning the UK was her plan even prior to the wedding - a wedding which cost the British people £20,000,000.

Not many people actually begrudged paying that £20,000,000. But some were prescient enough to say that the marriage would not last and that Meghan would abandon this country once she had a child.

She has. She has fulfilled those prognostications amply.

It was just rather...quicker than perhaps we had imagined...…. and a good deal more brutal. Cries of "racism" have abounded - cries which are simply not justified.

What will happen next? Meghan has gone to Canada, a country which does not seem particularly keen to foot the huge bill for security which her presence requires. She is dropping in on charities for disadvantaged women, almost unannounced, without the backing or knowledge of Buckingham Palace. It is cringeworthy and embarrassing in the extreme.

Prince Harry seems to be lost in the maelstrom of public opinion. What will happen next? Will Meghan announce a second pregnancy?

And is the RF okay?

New thread HERE

So they're still the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and free to monetise their titles.

Yep. The palace rolled over.

[SeperatedSwans]

Yes but SussexRoyal when you've been sacked by the queen looks a bit pompous and fake now.

[Guacamole]

Prince Harry and Meghan will no longer use their HRH titles and will not receive public funds for royal duties, Buckingham Palace has said.
Reading that is that the same as HMQ taking HRH away from them. It simply says they won’t use their titles. I don’t think it’s the same as what happened to Fergie and Diana, who actually had it removed from them.

[TwentyViginti]

WOW! did not expect the palace would go this far. Losing HRH and paying back the Frogmore renovation money too!

[CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook]

So their still Duke and Duchess Sussex Royal then?

Not sure that was wise.

[bohemia14]

So they're still the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and free to monetise their titles. The millions will roll in. They've absolutely got what they wanted. A total disgrace to the Royal family and the UK.

I hope they don't have the nerve to show their faces in this country again.

[AuntieStella]

Presumably this is the Camilla fudge re the titles.

She does not use Princess of Wales, but it's not been removed.

So if they do return to duties, then can resume the use.

[coconutpie]

RESPECT TO HM.

Well played, well played! Meghan must be fuming.

Have they lost the Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles also?

The new thread is needed now please!

[The80sweregreat]

No mention of security fees!

[Butterymuffin]

From Sky breaking news report

"they understand that they are required to step back from Royal duties, including official military appointments."

So no more military involvement for Harry

"Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved members of my family"

That's better than I expected from the Queen, who IMO doesn't express love very well.

[CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook]

Well they need to rebrand their website webshite.

SussexNonRoyal been registered yet???

Oh dear.......

[colouringinpro]

so without the HRH, can they still call themselves Royal? e.g. Sussex Royal?

[strictlymomdancing]

But they will still be sussexes, thus keeping their 'brand' a la 'brand beckham'.

So I don't think the HRH matters to them, it was more the 'sussex' and they still have that I presume.

Plus money from Daddy so not financially independent.

H&M are the winners in this situation.

@Parker231

A happy couple would surely be together physically, in the same house, in the same continent, when they have dropped this kind of bombshell.

I think their marriage is definitely in trouble.

I still think that Meghan will get pregnant again asap, in order to claw back some positive press attention.

I MOST UPSET that MN will not allow me to change my username to Meghan Mountbatten-Sausage. It's too long.

[RoseAndRose]

BBC:

"Prince Harry and Meghan will no longer use their HRH titles and will not receive public funds for royal duties, Buckingham Palace has said.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex also said they intend to repay the money for the refurbishment of Frogmore Cottage, which will remain their UK family home.

[katiegoestoaldi]

Eeek! I wonder what Meghan's reaction to losing HRH is going to be?

What about security? Who's funding that?

[MissEliza]

Losing the HRH will mean nothing to an international audience.

[The80sweregreat]

They want to pay it back eh?
More like arm up their backs!

[ajandjjmum]

This does protect Charlotte and Louis against any scheming individuals they might come across as adults - you're getting nothing!

[CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook]

You know, the more I think about this, the more I think there's an agenda here we have no clue about.

What they're doing and how they're going about it doesn't make sense.

This in a nutshell. There is no need for all this drama in order to achieve the things they want.

There is no need to monetise their titles in order to help the projects they're interested in.

Unless there's something I'm missing.

[mrscampbellblackagain]

Respect to the Queen!

[AppleKatie]

The repaying bit sounds very unusual- almost punitive.
