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?

Now if he was feeling really daring he would have gone with Elizabeth, My Dear

[NumbersStation]

He almost sullied my beloved stone Roses for me. Almost.

Tis a wonder MM hasn’t gone for I wanna be adored....

I doubt they wanted to release this statement at this point, but if you want to blame someone, you should blame the 'senior source' who leaked the news to the press.

They had to trademark Sussex Royal, because someone in Malta was trying to trademark it, it's said to be worth around 500m, so that person would have made a lot of money that will now go to charities.

Did H&M stay 6 weeks in Canada for IVF treatment?

The choice of Insta video soundtrack is absurd.

I found the Rebecca English article interesting too. It sounds like they'd formed a good friendship yet he cut her off the minute he got together with Meghan. I don't think that is all down to Meghan so maybe we have all been taken in by Harry?

Apparently he has always talked about wanting to leave the RF, but more to be a tour guide in the African bush.
If they went off to Africa and did that I think the public would respect him for his choices. But he's not - he's giving up the relatively few royal engagements he does, wants to keep his income from the Duchy of Cornwall, his home that will stand empty for most of the time, his title and he is going to trade off his royal background with his attention-seeking wife.

Also very interesting is that he reads everything written about him; so I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s been reading these very threads.
I wasn't surprised that he reads articles about himself but it does sound as if he is too invested in what they say about him. Why read 'below the line' comments on any newspaper articles though? Isn't that where there have been vile comments that aren't representative of the public in general?

It would be great for him to read MN though (bet he doesn't) and get a more rounded view of public opinions. Maybe we all need to sign up and put our comments below the line of DM?

I find people’s reaction to this story more interesting than the story itself. The feelings of anger towards people who reject “duty” and put their happiness first. The protective feelings we have towards an institution rather than questioning whether it is in fact an oppressive and archaic institution to be part of. The way we define privilege and judge those who we think should want it. None of it is right or wrong, it’s just interesting to observe.

picking up a friend at Vancouver airport
Next to her is her protection officer.paid for by us. Whilst she does sweet FA to do with work or the UK.
I can’t believe she can get away with being such a CF.

[Mummy195]

MN with a rounded approach ?
Did you read the last thread?

[Myimaginarycathasfleas]

Surely its worth depends on how it was used? I think it might be worth that amount to the Sussexes, but not some random chap in Malta. And where does it say that all proceeds are going to charity?

[SpanishLady]

Hardymonica - yes agree. It's the human psyche under it all

[CurlyWurlyTwirly]

The feelings of anger towards people who reject “duty” and put their happiness first

Duty is things you have to do, eg go to work, so that you can get paid.
They are skipping out on their jobs and expect to be paid, and have all the perks.

Anyone can quit their jobs; that’s not the issue.
It’s the fact that they were so demanding; got given everything they asked for and then pissed off in the rudest way possible, whilst insulting their former «employers» ie the Queen, and to a certain extent the tax payer ( if you view them as civil servants)

It’s the cheeky fuckery which is jaw dropping.
You expect it from Trump or Bojo

But it’s the fake (Mainly of Meghan), and the feeling of having been «played» when there was so much goodwill towards them.

@Hardymonica
Interesting post.

@Mummy195

Did you read the last thread?
I did read it as well as the previous threads. Maybe the word "rounded" wasn't quite right but I do believe that a lot of issues have been discussed which show many of us have given more thought to the subject and the impact on surrounding issues than H&M have.

I don't believe MNers have been racist. I don't think speculation has been vile or unpleasant. I reckon Harry could learn a lot from reading these threads.

[Mummy195]

You mean it may be worth that when under the Sussexes ? But, a lot of people would not know it is not linked to them if it's being sold by the Malta guy. So he would surely make a lot of money.

Where else would the money go ? I assume that even if H&M were to say completely leave the RF, then they would have to leave Sussex Royal behind, because how I understand it, the 'Royal' in the name means it belongs to HM

Do you have a link for the source of this?

Also, have G&M stated all money from the trademarked items will go to charity?

Meghan"s company, Frim Fram inc has been incorporated in Delaware where ownership and financial info is shrouded in extreme secrecy. That means no-one will know details of their income, profits etc so, if the income from Sussex Royal goes through Frim Fram Inc, how will anyone know if this money will be used by them or donated to charity?

What guns and roses song? What did I miss?

[LizzieBananas]

I knew they were gonna quit when Archie didn’t get a title. Boring US law incoming:

No US citizen can hold the title without the permission of Congress. Meghan is fine as technically it’s Harry’s title but Archie couldn’t have been made Earl of Dumbarton and keep his US citizenship. Clearly they mean for him to use his citizenship.

And for everyone saying threat the royal family is nuts/dysfunctional - well her family isn’t exactly the Walton’s is it (and few of us can say that ours is either)?

I’m imagining her half sister sitting in a rocking chair cackling away...

[bohemia14]

We didn't see or hear a peep out of them during their 6 week Canadian holiday. Yet now she's our every day grinning like the Cheshire Cat. She had no shame.

[bohemia14]

Out and has - sorry for the typos!

[GlitchStitch]

I wonder how photographers knew where she would be yet again? Poor woman can't get any privacy

[Lordfrontpaw]

Six week holiday... tough life huh?

[Oldbutstillgotit]

I am sitting in bed with a cup of tea and a slice of toast ; feel like a Duchess .

[Lordfrontpaw]

I’ve just crowbarred myself into a rather old and tight pair of jeans... I definitely don’t feel princessy...

[Haggisfish]

Foofstruck!!
