Christ here we go again. Leave them alone! Such interest in them. Sad.

[TheFairyCaravan]

no HRH because when she gets divorced Meghan won't get to keep it anyway, viz Diana, Fergie and Wallis Simpson.

She can't not be styled as a duchess tho', because she's married to a duke. And, like all 3 other girls, she would lose it if she remarried, so something tells me she, like them, can't


You really need therapy

These are the statements...... not a sausage nay not even a chipofuckinlata about stripping titles

Harry and Meghan should hang their heads in shame at the way they have treated the queen.

[PortiaCastis]

Bollocks, the media should hang their heads in shame as should online muck rakers

[bmbonanza]

Charlie will just give them the money out of his Duchy of Cornwall - which he gets by being the Queens son - so just a paperwork exercise.

Cant believe they are trying to trademark 'Sussex Royal' as a brand!

[lilgreen]

Didn’t know H&M had a royal seal! I still shop there.

[colouringinpro]

Based on the Twitter replies to the BBC News story, H&M still garner a huge amount if public support.

Cant believe they are trying to trademark 'Sussex Royal' as a brand!

In 2014, William and Kate set up firms to protect their intellectual and legal rights and give them control over their "brand". It is not an unusual step for people in the public eye.

But please don't let facts get in the way of your bitching about two strangers.

For anyone who thinks the media has not bullied Meghan, made her into a hate figure, and treated herself unfairly then please read this article. It compares news reports about Kaye and Meghan where Kate is praised for doing something (e.g., cradling her bump, eating avocado, tradingmarking her "brand") while Meghan is slated for doing the exact same thing.

Hoik - they were not just deciding they didnt want to be Royals though were they. H/M wanting the brand but not the responsibility is just a typical p-take in their usual style.......IMO of course

[JellyfishandShells]

Good

[ElmStreet]

I genuinely feel like I must have missed something wrt Harry and Meghan, because I really don't understand the amount of vitriol levelled at them. I really don't get what either of them are supposed to have done wrong.

Harry set up his company at the same time William and Kate set up theirs, Sussex Royal was added to it because that's what the company was created for back in 2014.

Once again, don't let the facts get in the way of what it is you're doing here. Why let the truth spoil your hate?

[sonjadog]

Reading that link made me think - can you imagine living a life where you were allowed no opinions, no personality and everything was about your clothes?? Wouldn't be royal for anything...

[Tellingitlikeitisnt]

I thought the queens message was warm and I think H&M have been treated appallingly by the press and public so don’t blame them one bit.

I imagine as a granny the queen has been very worried about H.

@Voila212 Did the Duke of Windsor lose his hrh after abdicating - no, he didn't.
At least, it is debatable whether he lost it and had it reinstated, or never lost it.
After the abdication, George VI created him Duke of Windsor, a royal Duke with the style HRH, but the Letters Patent specified that his wife and descendants(if any) would not be entitled to the HRH. The question was hotly debated as to whether he had actually lost the HRH by abdicating. If not, then his wife would also be entitled to it. But if he had lost it and had it regranted by Letters Patent, then his wife could be excluded, which may be why it was done this way. Also, as a Royal Duke, he could not speak in the House of Lords on political subjects - which could have been very embarrassing for the King and the Government.
The Duke of Windsor resented this massively and always insisted on his household referring to his wife as HRH.

[TryingToBeBold]

Peoples opinions towards H&M are disgusting.
Do you know them personally
How does her past indicate anything? Because she is previously divorced? Because her family are a piece of work?!
Do you know how they treated the Queen
Do you know her personally? That shes XYZ?!
I don't blame them for wanting out

And £2.4m of taxpayers money on frogmore House. Divide that by how many tax payers are in the UK. Its pennies.
I spend more than that on road tax. Council tax. And I cant even get potholes filled in. I'm sure I can spare a few pennies..

[Queenest]

There’re not being punished ffs. It’s what they’ve asked for. The Queen cares about her family. As does Charles.

[hobnobsaremyfavourite]

Oh ffs
Can't these be moved to the royalty section
Please not another week of wanging in about this shit

[FudgeBrownie2019]

She can't not be styled as a duchess tho', because she's married to a duke. And, like all 3 other girls, she would lose it if she remarried

I think you mean women. Not girls.

[Schiehallion]

The royal family is like a TV soap - tiresome, unimaginative, lacking in intelligence, expensive to run but bought into by those whose lives require a regular dose of bread and circuses.

[NotYourTypicalNerd]

Fascinating article @Hoik !
