Harry and Meghan Resigning - HRH No More

[TheMustressMhor]

Thread Nine.

How will they react to this?

why would they be at the oscars, Fraq ?

sorry, I mean Froq

I wonder when they'll update their website.

I think the Queen played a blinder being so nice about her. I think it’s called killing with kindness. MM will hate that.
I wonder if the Duke ever see Archie again? I hope so.

They have not stripped them of HRH, so that Harry can use it after the divorce.

If you read their original statement and then read this final one, it’s clear they’ve had their arses handed to them on a plate. Brilliant!

I found some interesting thing on their website. They updated their response to the statement by the Queen and below it, they have copied their Instagram post. The date is not specified. It is 'January, 2020'. Why do you think it is?

Will Frogmore become an HeirBnB?

Don't give them ideas catspyjamas123😁

MM will hate that.

I doubt it.

The Queen is interested in protecting the institution.
Harry is said to be happy and relaxed and looking forward to joining Meghan shortly.
It has been a rough ride for them all. I hope they will be happy and will visit their father and grandparents in private or otherwise.
William has had a raw deal but he played a part in this whole debacle too. The institution are protecting him completely. They will always protect their own and go what it takes to ensure they retain their status.. Their support of Andrew has shown this.

Meghan and Harry become A listers who can do as they please. I hope relations between Harry and Charles are ok and Archie grows up not just knowing but being part of his Dad’s side of the family.

Perhaps this is exactly what they wanted.

They are all rich and privileged beyond our wildest dreams. We can only hazard a guess at the glimpse of their lifestyles they allow to be shown.

I bloody love the queen.

Can't take the pace these days so apologies if I'm repeating but has anyone asked if the staff of Frogmore Cottage are OK? Presumably they have had a rather jolly six weeks, keeping occupied with a little light dusting punctuated with bursts of dressing up in Military uniforms and ball gowns before collapsing on the sofa with the odd sneaky bottle of vintage champagne.

Now they have been redeployed and they will be channeling Mr Molesley from Downton Abbey as they settle into new, subservient roles in the big house.

Has anyone asked if we are all ok to still be funding them via Charles plus paying inflated security costs for them living on another continent instead of in the Royal compound.?

The Telegraph are reporting that MM left behind an entire wardrobe of clothing in storage in Canada when she came to the UK to marry PH.

@notmoresheep because it has paparazzi.

They can still use Frogmore when in UK but must pay rent and upkeep of it from the spring . Most likely new tax year.

They will keep HRH but can no longer use them or will be referred to in this way. Just Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan , Duchess of Sussex. Leaving open door for Harry if they ever split up on future.

They can keep private patronages but not represent the Queen anymore anywhere. Royal patronages including military to go from spring.

Harry may do a few more events until spring to sign stuff off.

No more taxpayers cash for H&M but no detail if they will still get security or have to pay themselves.

Harry to do Oprah Winfrey Show on mental health after spring.

Charles to continue to bankroll them.

They will spend most of time in North America whether Canadian s want them or not but will get no special treatment on residency laws.

They are all rich and privileged beyond our wildest dreams.*

This.

From spring they will also have to pay for own travel. So that is code for Charles will pay.

I read they are not allowed any political voice at all. That won't suit Meghan.

What exactly is Harry's area of expertise in mental health?

Harry is said to be happy and relaxed and looking forward to joining Meghan shortly

Is he? I hadn’t read that anywhere. He always looks as miserable as sin lately.

I am also very much looking forward to Harry joining Meghan shortly...the sooner he pisses off the better tbh, dragging his feet a bit ain’t he!? Anyone would think he didn’t want to go

I'm not sure Harry can be stripped of HRH as it was his at birth. And as long as Meghan is married to him she will be HRH too. They have just been told not to use the titles. Diana wasn't actually stripped of her HRH by the Queen as such - she wasn't born with it, so it was only hers as long as she was married to Prince Charles. The divorce stripped her of the title. Similarly she became Diana, Princess of Wales rather than The Princess of Wales.

Using the same formula as a commoner, pre divorce the (very dated) etiquette would give her the name Mrs Charles Windsor and after divorce she would be Mrs Diana Windsor. Charles' next wife would then become Mrs Charles Windsor.

It's all very antiquated, but that's still the official version.

I will share this with you as it made me giggle. Windsor gift shop had to reduce all H&M merchandise as everyone stopped buying it. Makes me think Sussex Royal will be a flop.

They reduced stamps from £30 to £25. Hardly giving them away now eh?

I can’t imagine why anyone buys any of that royal family tat. It must look ridiculous at home in their own kitchen. I imagine anyone who has them to look and sound like Vers Duckworth!

So they're going to pay money back for Frogmore and become independent. So why are you daily mailers mumsneters not leaving them be now?

@PattiPrice

I imagine anyone who has them to look and sound like Vers Duckworth!

What? Down to earth, kind, funny and northern?
Can you say precisely what is so bad about her and her accent?

I am sure that you didn't mean to sound like a totally shallow, raging snob, with that less than nice comment.
