How would anyone know?

[sonjadog]

I would be even more surprised if she never sets foot on British soil again. It is a single flight of medium distance. People who are a lot less wealthy go back and forth all the time, even when it is just for a weekend. It isn't like in times past when people headed off on the boat and were never heard of again...

I will be surprised if Meghan ever sets foot on British soil again.

I’m sure she will but who could blame her if she didn’t. She’s been treated appallingly.

[CallmeAngelina]

She's been treated appallingly.
She really hasn't, you know. Did you not notice the hundreds of thousands of people lining the streets to cheer her wedding, for instance?

Those are just the people who love the Royals. There are many more who have been hateful to her, including writing disgusting things about her sons looks. Then the shit in the press. As I said, appalling. But if you want to pretend otherwise, that’s up to you.

[PortiaCastis]

Ask MNHQ how many threads they've had to delete about her because they were appalling, in fact there's a few running now that are vile

[SingingLily]

Surely it must be losing airtime now.

Harry has made a speech

Great speech

Have you read the article that has been linked to several times which shows the total contrast between how Catherine was treated by the press over exactly the same things that Meghan has done?

[missyoumuch]

From Harry's speech it's pretty clear he's not being forced to do anything. They've made a choice. He's not going to be king short of some horrible tragedy, why can't he life his life the way he wants to?

If he wanted to stay and do royal engagements for the rest of his life, he wouldn't have married a non-British woman with an established life and career of her own. His choice of Meghan seems to be part of a wider desire for him about how he wants to live.

No clue why the anti-Meghan rabid hordes are convinced that she swooped in and convinced him to give it all up. I highly doubt she is the first beautiful foreign woman he's met in his entire life. He wants to be with her, end of story.

[lyralalala]

It’s slightly odd that he’s still saying he’d hoped to continue representing the Queen, but without public funds

It’s just not possible and it’s as if he didn’t think of that

For example if he and Meghan had been sent on an official tour to New Zealand... who was going to pay for that if not the Sovereign Grant?

The Queen isn’t suddenly going to have some engagements that she funds from the Grant and then some she funds from her own pocket just for them because that gives two issues - 1) what counts as her own pocket? That would just spark a debate and 2) what happens when Charles and Camilla or William and Kate do an engagement the same as the one privately funded for Harry and Meghan? Is that also privately funded? Are questions going to start if Some are and some aren’t? Is New Zealand going to be offended if their tour is privately funded whereas another is publicly funded?

[SoupDragon]

Presumably he meant things like Frogmore rather than "business expenses" like the cost of a tour. I'm not sure a tour was what had had in mind though, he mentioned the military commitments I think so maybe it was more patron type things he meant.

Just by being who he is, he will always represent the Royal Family in whatever he does.
Whatever he does will reflect back on them, and he is acknowledging that.
Look at the criticisms made of Sarah Ferguson or the way that anything the Duke of Windsor did was "newsworthy".
Or even how when Pope Benedict speaks it gets reported.

What we know of Meghan and Harry is what is reported, mainly through the lens of the Newspapers (still). And those Newspapers are fighting hard not to account for their actions in bugging phones atc. Those Newspapers all tend to be owned by the same small group of people.

[pelirocco123]

Can you imagine the response if someone had posted
I have just got married however my OH family is very controlling over what We do, what we wear and what we say .Part of the control is they fund us to stop us working and choosing how we want to live .....oh and we get constant abuse from people who dont know us ( mainly because they have been brainwashed by social and public media .....but hey ho it fills the empty void that is their life )

[TheMemoryLingers]

The press has an appalling track record for its treatment of female joiners to the Royal Family. Anyone old enough will remember the headlines about Fergie - accused of being too brash, overweight etc.

Immediately before she was killed, Diana was the subject of intense vitriol for her relationship with Dodi (of course all the journalists backtracked sharply after her death, but there were some red faces from those whose scathing articles had gone to press before the tragedy).

Camilla was scorned because she was middle-aged and average-looking, and journalists felt entitled to take a moral high ground because infidelity was involved.

Kate went through years of being dubbed 'waity Katy' before William made up his mind to marry her.

Meghan is the latest victim and one can't blame her for trying to escape it all. I imagine she and Harry anticipated the media storm surrounding their departure, but saw it as a necessary evil.

[Noodlenosefraggle]

And those Newspapers are fighting hard not to account for their actions in bugging phones atc. Those Newspapers all tend to be owned by the same small group of people.
This is the crux of it I think. They are desperate for their wrongdoing to be concealed at all costs. I wonder what they are afraid of coming out? They are desperate to break Meghan and Harry so that they withdraw their legal actions.

Can't link from this phone but anyone interested in what's going on with the Press and the RF, the attitude of Piers Morgan and other related facts, read Alan Rusbridger in today's Guardian.

Actually both Eugenie and Beatrice use "York" as their surname professionally, no HRH. They are HRH, and use the titles in their lives but not in their ptofessional capacities (in Sweden Carl Philip does the same, Carl Philip Bernadotte in his design business and the prince bit in more official capacities). None of them are out hustling Americans for millions though.. (Lady Louise is actually HRH Princess Louise, they just chose not to use it in order to ease pressure on her, James is HRH Prince James).

The HRH Prince/Princess is about who you are, not what you do. But Harry was Harry Wales in his military career. Apparently those days are gone now...
