What an absolute load of bull shit.

Prince Harry will be known as just that, or the Duke of Sussex and Meghan will be the Duchess of Sussex. They aren't going to be HRHs anymore. That's all.

The royals will be there for Harry when the inevitable happens.

And it is inevitable.

How is inevitable? Do you know them?

I thought the press statement from the Queen was lovely.
She used words like 'family' and love a lot as well as all their first names.

She's a star.

3 cheers for her maj.

Good - she deserves that.

I am really pleased for them. This is exactly what they wanted. The fact they turned down a silly title for their son shows the HRH has no importance to them.

They are free of the hideous shackles that royal life entails. They can go off and live happily, hopefully free of intrusive press attention. Good luck to them.

Meanwhile Andrew is still HRH the Peado

and Meghan is the issue? You show yourselves and it's disgusting

She's not "Meghan, Duchess of Sussex" @AlwaysTheStew - she's not a dowager, and nor does she hold the title in her own right. She's "just" Her Grace, the Duchess of Sussex.

The queen didn’t ‘strip them’ of these things, this is what they asked for.

Did the Duke of Windsor lose his hrh after abdicating and does that mean Prince Harry's son and future children also lose their hrh? I'm not British so just curious?

Good luck to them. Apparently they will be spending most of the time in North America so I don't think we will have to pay much for their security either. Not sure who will pay when they're in Canada but either the Canadians or Prince Charles I would think.

People saying they can live free from press intrusion is bizzare- all their future plans revolve around continuing to court the press?!

Well she got what she wanted. Another social climber. Why marry into the royal family when she knew what would be expected of her. Harry will come to realise his mistake in years to come.

How would she know that the press would tear her apart even when pregnant? That has nothing to do with "what was expected of her"

I think the whole institution of monarchy is an embarrassing relic, and this particular royal family is a disgrace in many, many ways.

I don't understand the vitriol towards this young couple, however. From what little I know, it seems to me that he has wanted out of the Firm since he was made to walk behind his mother's coffin for the sake of appearances - a shocking and pitiless act of needless cruelty that contributed to his mental health problems. Why are people assuming that this woman is some sort of scheming villain who is pulling him away? It seems more likely that they are together because they understand each other, and she is giving him what he needs to break out of the FOG.

That's my grubby tabloid gossip for the day, time for dinner Grin

Would you marry your husband if you didn’t get along with his family/ had different values to them? I know I still would because I love him.

Turkey totally agree. It was obvious Harry has always hated being royal. I think a stripped down royal family is a great idea. I wish them the best and think it’s a great decision.

Have you not seen the newspaper comparisons of how she was treated when compared to Kate for the exact same thing.

Why would Harry be making a mistake? I hardly follow the royals at all but even I know that he hasn't enjoyed the royal life and has found it difficult mentally. And yet apparently he is being manipulated into leaving a life he loved..? Surely this could be a move that suits them both very well?
