I’m pretty ambivalent towards the whole thing, but think the treatment of Meghan in the press is appalling and the level of vitriol towards her on some of the threads here is just as bad.
The way I see it is a couple want to break free of the confines of a family business that they had no say in joining, and try something different.
Meghan seems intelligent, ambitious and cares for her husband and child, traits I am sure most people would encourage, but for her seems to be attracting criticism.
Basically all of this. I remember reading the statement from the Queen where saw said that they would have preferred them to stay as FT Royals and thinking 'I'm sure you would, but that's not really your decision is it?'.
Harry has said in the past that he's considered leaving The Firm, but that he was persuaded to stay by his grandmother. He's now with someone who supports him so feels that he can take that step. I imagine their six week break in Canada was the crux of it. That they've got a feel for what life could be like. Lots of people emigrate. He shouldn't have to stay here just because of where he was born and to what family. Can you imagine anyone else being told that. There'd be cries of 'your family is controlling as hell!! Go LC and get the hell out'.
I do believe that they shouldn't have their security paid for by the public though. I couldn't give a crap if Charles pays for it through the Duchy pot, that's his prerogative.
The York sisters work and live their lives with a little more freedom, just popping up for whole family big events. I imagine that's the input level they're going for.
