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

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?

Out of interest were there any blinds about Williams’s alleged dalliance? I don’t believe it as I think he & Kate can’t be that great at acting! But I’m curious...

Wheresthebeach · 17/01/2020 18:18

Good point @ChardonnaysDistantCousin - imagine Fergie must be delighted that she's no longer the most unpopular DIL! MM has kicked her off that particular thorny pedestal.

Butterymuffin · 17/01/2020 18:19

Interesting article from a Canadian viewpoint arguing in favour of taking on the security costs for the Sussexes.

Although it does imagine they will be there 'half the year at most' which to many of us now seems likely to be an underestimate!

WineOrGinOrBoth · 17/01/2020 18:19

HM must be down on her knees thanking God for Catherine

The80sweregreat · 17/01/2020 18:19

A DVD with Meghan and her Pilates teacher. The new logo would be prominent and a dog in the background with a pics elated face as he is shy in front of the cameras ( called no name : Billy no mates dog)
Maybe a quick glimpse of Archie in his play pen .
' come on, we're doing the down ward dog'

NotEverythingIsBlackandWhite · 17/01/2020 18:20

I am watching 'Home and Away' and Leah just asked Justin if he is okay.
😂

The80sweregreat · 17/01/2020 18:21

My son asked me if I was alright today.
Made my day.
( I'm not but who cares really ?)

NumbersStation · 17/01/2020 18:23

@WineOrGinOrBoth

Possibly reminiscent of the Boleyn women....

All for upping the family name at the expense of those with a bosom and the eye of a royal dude...

TheMustressMhor · 17/01/2020 18:25

No, royal tiaras which are owned by the Queen are definitely in her gift.

They belong to Her Maj. She lends them when she sees fit but they have to be returned.

One Boleyn girl didn’t really end up being ok.

The80sweregreat · 17/01/2020 18:26

Yes to Fergie finally losing her bad guy label. Her ex is still top of the pops but she is slowly going down the charts. M M has taken over now!
I would be gobsmacked if she ever came back to the UK again. I really cannot see it ever.
Has Harry left for Canada yet?

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 17/01/2020 18:26

Well I'm feeling very ok to hear that nearly everyone is feeling ok & those who aren't ok, don't worry you will be ok again soon.

I've been catching up over the last few threads & beginning to think Meghan has had some kind of breakdown or maybe both of them have.
The whole thing is just mad & I think there's still things we don't know.

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 17/01/2020 18:26

Yes I think if Fergie walked into the palace, went right right up to the Queen's bed and asked for the Koh-i-Noor diamond, the Queen would grant it to her right now. As long as she passed her some Anadin, buzzed off and promised to stop going on about it... because she has a massive headache and enough to deal with.

Oldbutstillgotit · 17/01/2020 18:28

@ The80sweregreat. I care 💐. Had a very jolly lunch with 3 other oldies today and guess what we talked about ?? After lots of wine we have set up a “ are you ok” WhatsApp group ! On a more serious note one of my friends said that she thinks the Queen can ban H and M from taking Archie away permanently. A lot of Sauvignon Blanc has been drunk so can’t remember the details but maybe someone clever ( sober ) on MN can answer ?

TheMustressMhor · 17/01/2020 18:29

@Lordfrontpaw

I hope she was frisked before she ran away.

I am not entirely convinced that anyone knew that MM was about to run away, so frisking her/her luggage would not have occurred to the RF.

TheMustressMhor · 17/01/2020 18:30

DH and I are very definitely ok.

The fish pie was excellent.

Surely after the alleged snipes at they have made about RF/the UK they wouldn't be welcome here especially when doing royal duties.

WendyMoiraAngelaDarling · 17/01/2020 18:31

So it appears that Meghan didn't actually go to the domestic violence shelter at all. Only to the admin offices which are in another building. Probs for the best.

CathyorClaire · 17/01/2020 18:32

We know how to live

The80sweregreat · 17/01/2020 18:33

She hasn't had any kind of breakdown! Of course she hasn't ; this has been planned for a long time ( since she met him)
She may be a bit ( tiny bit)!sad about things but overall she has what she wants. Publicity , freedom, no nasty in laws or people moaning at her, more money , her own friends around her telling her she had done ' the right thing' etc etc. More chances to make more money and international fame now (not just suits fans. )
It's been a bit of a wait , but she got there in the end.

MrsBrentford · 17/01/2020 18:34

I am confused with which thread we are posting on .. again been toiling at work and no one has checked on me to see if I am ok (my husband is genuinely serving HM in the Royal Navy).

I hope HM gifts Frogmore to Bea for her wedding.

Those girls get a lot of shit.

kinsss · 17/01/2020 18:35

I repeat, sigh.....

Anyone think a NDA is on the cards here, and if so, can it be enforced?. It would be in return for funding their lifestyles to an extent.

I'd be happy enough with that, and don't let the door hit you on the way out either.

Not that I care much, but anyway!

diddl · 17/01/2020 18:36

I think it's really strange that they didn't "have" (for want of a better word to come back after the 6wks holiday to sort things out.

Hard to believe that Harry had nothing booked to come back to, although W&K have had it pretty easy with a young family, so maybe Harry was being allowed the same.

But to leave Archie there!

Can't help but worry that Harry will lose him!

Cindershasoddsocks · 17/01/2020 18:37

Has Archie been seen in Canada

TheMustressMhor · 17/01/2020 18:37

I know that I started this thread rather earlier than necessary MrsBrentford and I apologise for confusing posters.

I think we should be posting on this thread now, though.

I shall not start Thread Nine until we are nearly there - indeed, anyone who wishes to do so can start Thread Nine.

As long as they are ok, of course.
