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?

I'm not okay, achy jaw, sore throat and blocked nose, but I can't take anything for it as breastfeeding, so dosing myself up on orange juice and the odd paracetamol and catching up on the latest H&M news. Glad PP is still around today.

NotEverythingIsBlackandWhite · 18/01/2020 10:24

Mmm, Yuri Milner can't see why he was/is on the US watchlist after being financed by Russian state-owned companies to buy shares in Facebook and Twitter.

I think this does show how H&M cannot accept hospitality from just anyone. Do they actually know who owns the Vancouver Island home they are staying in? Or is it the case that they do know, and have disclosed it to RF and securiy services have been informed and it has been declared satisfactory to accept their hospitality?

When Canadian laws come in later this year regarding such matters, will ownership have secretly changed hands several times by that time?

The only people in a school who know who qualifies for free meals are the office staff

And they're the only people who know who the scholarship kids are when it comes time to send out the bills

You can’t compare not having nice clothes/tennis rackets with qualifying for free school meals

I wasn't exactly. What I was saying was that you get stuff for free that others have to pay for. And I still had clothes and tennis rackets except mine were from the second hand shop. It makes you look after things carefully, but I still have nightmares about the unkind, bitchy and very snide remarks I got at for playing tennis in plimsolls when the rest all had designer tennis shoes. You can't help what you are.

This is what surprises me about Meghan. I would expect her to have genuine concern for those in need as she didn't come from a rich background. But she seems content to swank about in designer gear and live the life of riley and just pay lip service to all these charitable causes. They're clearly just photo ops for her. But there's lots of Royals do a considerable amount of unpaid unseen work for charities they're passionate about. Princess Anne does a considerable amount for Riding for the Disabled which we never hear about or see.

LaMarschallin · 18/01/2020 10:27

I did read once her dad had a win on the lottery , but not sure about that!

It's possible, I guess.
I went (briefly) to the private school in Swansea which Catherine Zeta Jones attended.*

Read later that she'd been moved there after her family had a win on the Pools.

*Strangely, she was in the year below me. Which should make her closer in age to me than the age she reportedly is.
She must have been very clever and skipped a year. Or two.

It surely can't be that I was stupid and held back a year. Or two. Can it...?

(I know. After my performance yesterday, it's entirely possible).

Parker231 · 18/01/2020 10:41

Why do you think Harry is loosing his family? His immediate family is Meghan and the baby - they aren’t lost to him. His extended family are still there - DH’s family live in the US and Canada and mine in Belgium but we still see each other regularly and our DT’s have a good relationship with their grandparents and cousins.

queenofarles · 18/01/2020 10:41

Her Dad did win the lottery and paid for her private schooling and helped all his children financially , I think Thomas Markle is many bad things but I think he cared for his children, from what I’ve seen of him he looks disoriented and confused. Like he’d do thing impulsively and then won’t even realise just how bad they are.

Also he worked for many years on a popular TV show, although I don’t know how much he made!

fallen121 · 18/01/2020 10:47

Sharron Davies (the swimmer) was once older than my DH (when he was at school he remembers having swimming lessons cancelled so she could have the pool to practise) but is now younger. Amazing, really.....

Wheresthebeach · 18/01/2020 10:55

@MarmaladeTeepee Good post! Going to Africa for conservation would have been perfect for him, if what we read about how H feels about Africa is true.

This is why it seems to be all about what MM wants.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 18/01/2020 11:04

The lottery win is mentioned in the link I posted. Also interesting about Doria having a shop for years that then went bankrupt . The Oprah connection also must be through the church Doria is a member of with Oprah. I didn’t realise Meghan was involved with it too when she was young.
I guess her dad paid for part of her education with the lottery money. I read that somewhere.
It also sheds some light on her relationship with her dad.
I also did some googling on her dad who is of German heritage and has two brothers.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 18/01/2020 11:05

I can’t see Meghan living in Africa whilst Harry is a tour guide at all. She’s just not that sort of woman.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 18/01/2020 11:05

Also her Dad was invited to the wedding. He couldn’t make it due to heart surgery.

MissEliza · 18/01/2020 11:12

I had a look on Twitter to see reaction to Rebecca English's article and was bemused to see all the nutty pro-Meghan tweets. Don't know why I'm surprised.

NotEverythingIsBlackandWhite · 18/01/2020 11:13

Catherine Zeta-Jones' birth was registered in Swansea in December quarter (Oct- Dec) 1969.
Source: www.freebmd.org.uk

Her parents won £100k in a bingo competition according to Wikipaedia, allowing them to pay for Catherine's dance and ballet lessons.

Oldbutstillgotit · 18/01/2020 11:15

According to the DM ( sorry ) MM has been looking at a £21million pound beachfront house .

Lordfrontpaw · 18/01/2020 11:17

I’ve been looking too (dreaming...)

Mymomsbetterthanyomom · 18/01/2020 11:24

Or maybe she was bullied on a global level from the very beginning.And just possibly Harry is doing what he knows is best for HIS own family!

NotEverythingIsBlackandWhite · 18/01/2020 11:24

@CSEpicFailure

Could the reason that the Queen has returned to Sandringham be that PP is very poorly, and this is also why PH has not left for Canada?
It was announced earlier this week that PH would be staying on for a few days while negotiations were finalised and will be flying to Canada in the early part of next week. I bet PP isn't speaking to PH for what he is putting HMQ through and now, sadly, doubt they'll be reconciled before he dies.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 18/01/2020 11:28

@Oldbutstillgotit

It’s a gorgeous house
She probably wants Harry to dip into his €30million now, so she can keep it as part of the divorce settlement.

Parker231 · 18/01/2020 11:29

I would imagine that HMQ and PP just want their grandson and his family to be happy. Poor grandparents if they didn’t. Why would they be furious?

Justyou · 18/01/2020 11:30

Can I just ask on a curious level - a few threads back MM sister was called a disability/wheelchair faker. According to wiki she has M.s so I didn’t understand why the comment was made and it’s been keep popping into my mind. Does she have ms or not?

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 18/01/2020 11:31

Looking at it, she is asset poor. She just has some cash squirrelled away, and at the age of 38, doesn’t own any property.
Harry has probably never even considered it as being a member of the RF, he’d always have somewhere to live.

I think Meghan will be selling everything eventually.
That beautiful aquamarine of Diana’s, all her jewellery from Harry, the Couture clothes.

Horsemad · 18/01/2020 11:34

I don't mind her selling the jewellery from PH and the clothes but I'd be really annoyed if I were him and she sold Diana's jewellery. 😠

I have boys (well, men now) and I'm going to leave any jewellery of mine to any granddaughters, should I get them. If not, then my niece I think.

The80sweregreat · 18/01/2020 11:54

If Meghan had left on good terms with everyone then people wouldn't think his losing everything. They haven't really made it look like they want any relationship with them , but that could be because it's a bit raw at the moment. It could be tricky if he did want to build bridges in the future and she really doesn't I suppose.

CallmeAngelina · 18/01/2020 11:56

Are those couture clothes hers to sell? Who paid for them in the first place?
