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?

I'm no fan of Camilla but she did stick out all the hate and criticism and just got on with it.
It's not everyone's way of doing things , but she did it. She must have had some low days in her time.

ndeed @MrsBrentford - she got a bloody rough trot.

I’ve a lot of time for her. Don’t know her from Adam of course but she seems to be someone who you’d want around in a crisis or down the pub with or doing a gogglebox with. She seems a ruddy good egg. And therefore I shall assume she is ok too

Yes , I remember The Buccaneers. Some of it was filmed at Castle Howard.

I’m a lurker and I’m ok, thanks for asking!

I was a huge cheerleader of this pair initially, Not anymore, ditch the titles, pay the country back for Frogmore renovations, continue to properly advocate for your chosen patronages and I may reconsider. Until then H&M, don’t let the door hit you on the carbon emitting flight out.

Not that they care what I think, but I felt the need to get it off my chest anyway! 😉

She used to live down the road from where I grew up.

Very very liked and loyal lady.

Can I have Eltham Palace as my London residence ( always fancied a big dining room) and maybe Castle Howard as a country retreat?

I think it's a bit uppity to ask for both when direct heirs are being offered cottages these days.....

We all have those acquaintances or colleagues or family members who just poison the air or natter on about themselves or dominate with their own stories or tales of absolutely nothing interesting to man or beast and it's such a relief when they finally go home or leave the building?
I bet a few family members feel the same way about M! Some people just have a presence that is deeply irritating or just too self absorbed.

Ahh never been to Castle Howard.

When I watched it at the time I remember thinking it was terribly romantic....I guess some people think this is as well about the current situation.

Two people in love up against the world.

The question is do these self absorbed/narcissistic people go far in life? They don’t care who they step on so I assume they do. They have no shame.

Apparently they do. Look at trump!

Anyone seen the cover of this month's Tatler?

"The Year of the Divorce: How to make it work for you, your children and your bank manager."

"Why pay less? They told you it couldn't but money can buy you happiness."

Funny...I hadn't heard there was a GUEST EDITOR for this month????

That doesn’t surprise me in the slightest @MrsBrentford

With regard to comments about Fergie, one thing we do know is that she greatly respects HMQ and, despite some of her past behaviours, she would never behave as Meghan has. She and PA and her daughters are a very close-knit family. I think HMQ and DOE should appreciate that. I would be pleased if there was a reconciliation between Fergie and DOE before he dies.

I think this situation has made me think differently about members of the RF. I was firmly on Diana's side when PC and Camilla re-ignited their affair and I still feel PC shouldn't have married the virgin, Diana, and then messed her life up. He shouldn't have married someone he hardly knew who was little more than a child in comparison. I'm surprised, in view if that, that he didn't really push for Harry to get to know Meghan better before marrying her. However, Diana and her family carry some responsibility too. They must have known PC and Diana didn't really know each other and that they weren't suited.

I think that's happened in the case of H&M too. They aren't suited. Those around them could see that too.

I didn't think PC should marry Camilla. However, I have come to realise Diana was manipulative and used people and indeed was a loose canon at the end (as Meghan is now). Camilla, has actually impressed me with her behaviour and I am no longer against her and feel she will be an asset to PC when he when he takes the throne. She has been stoic and just quietly got on with it despite a lot of hatred being directed towards her. She would never shit on the monarchy like Meghan has either. In hindsight she was a much better match for PC and if she hadn't married Parker-Bowles, things could have been so different.

It must be a great disappointment to HMQ that 3 of her 4 children's marriages have ended in divorce. There was also an article a couple of days ago that said the Wessexes nearly split up too. Maybe it is all to do with how they behave as a result of their upbringing in such a privileged family?

I thought Tatler ran a poll recently which revealed that the majority of readers or respondents thought MM was good for the Royal Family?

Is that why she's guest editing

Actually anyone I know that has been narcissistic / self absorbed etc has gone far in life! They tread over people, they lie and manipulate the situations, they just do not care a jot. Their happiness is paramount.
They like power and can't deal with emotions at all. They like to play the victim too : it's never them it's always someone else's fault. Tough cookies.
( I am the opposite so I haven't gone far in life! )

Aim high CatherineofArragon If you don't ask you don't get. I'll negotiate down to Dunster Castle if necessary.
To offset it, I'll happily wear some of the second hand outfits languishing at Frogmore.

I’m still not ok you know. A large portion of Chicken biryani has helped my cold but not my wind problem.

I like Camilla a lot.

I am just imagining a 007 style convo with her Maj where she sends him off SAS style to "bring my grandson home". Bond says "what about MM?"

To which she replies:

(do your worst vipers )

@Lordfrontpaw

Just choked on a bit of bounty bar that went down the wrong way. But I’m ok thanks...

Why are you making repeated references to Bounty bars?

Is it something to do with the "black on the outside, white on the inside" trope?

In the same way people from eg China are referred to as "bananas"?

I'm certainly not someone who thinks Meghan and Harry are doing the right thing.

But the continued use of "Bounty bar" strikes me as racist and I will report your posts now.

Up to MN if they delete them.

My dear friend's wife is a complete narcissist. She flies around the world first class and is dressed head to toe in designer clothes. He, the person who supplies the money, walks behind her and is a shadow of his former self. She's alienated all his family and friends. DH and I are hanging in there by a thread and she hates it.

Incidentally she had no family at her wedding.....

So yes, these people go far in life. They're so self obsessed that nothing touches them.

I was hoping that karma would prevail but as per your examples clearly not

Ha ha! The thought of the SAS getting involved is funny!
Poor Archie. They don't know much at his age but they pick up on things I think.
I really hope she doesn't use him as a pawn in her games. None of this is his fault.
