@Sunshineand It’s the pack mentality along with the insular Brexit mentality. A rotten combination of the mindset of ‘modern’ Britain.

PattiPrice · 19/01/2020 01:57

Can you say precisely what is so bad about her and her accent?

You do understand her character was deliberately exaggerated, don’t you?

Their website update is cringe. We appreciate your patience and invite you to explore the site to see the current works of Their Royal Highnesses

You do understand her character was deliberately exaggerated, don’t you?

You do understand that she is representative of a hell of a lot of women who live in the North?

People DO talk like that and did look like that when she was on TV. I was interested to know what was so wrong with looking and sounding like her?

Love the queens pass agg 'particularly proud of how Meghan has become part of the family' in the face off all the bollocks Megz has circulated about she has been ostracised. Go on that Queen!

SunsetBoulevard3 · 19/01/2020 02:42

I feel so proud of the Queen. She’s behaved immaculately in the face of appalling disrespect .
Now she needs to deal with Andrew.

Andylion · 19/01/2020 02:58

As for us (Canadians) paying for their security, fuck that.

I couldn’t have put it better myself, @Ritascornershop.

Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan , Duchess of Sussex

There's nothing in the announcement that says that. The DM have gone with that because that's what happened to Diana

It's far more likely they'll just be The Duke and Duchess of Sussex like other non-royal Dukes (Westminster, Hamilton, Buccleuch, Norfolk...)

Diana's title changed to 'Diana, Princess of Wales' because she was no longer THE Princess of Wales. Harry and Meghan are still The Duke and Duchess of Sussex

soberfabulous · 19/01/2020 04:15

pattiprice well said.

TheSussDuchess · 19/01/2020 04:40

Oh dear. Interesting times for sure.

They'll need to crank it and make some serious money immediately. They have a big payroll of "experts" on hand! Maybe these big firms will do some pro-bono for the prestige. No doubt it'll all be squirreled away in a dodgy tax haven.

I'm thinking upmarket alcohol a-la George Clooney (you know, owner and face of the brand and then cash in by selling the company) and day-to-day expenses met by the after dinner speech circuit a-la Tones and Barack. A bit of publishing / documentary / self-advertisement. Some vanity stuff about elephants in Africa and empowering the peasant girls of Canada. All carefully orchestrated with press releases and photos and motivational quotes. Too bad they won't have access to the royal diary so their various projects can be impeccably timed.

I really wish the press would boycott it all, but that won't happen alas.

They're already entering murky waters with the free mansion in Canada. The press will find out all about their host and gleefully publish any details that are less than salubrious. Exhibit A of warning should be Uncle Andy. I wouldn't be surprised if some elements of the British media establish a dedicated "Hazza & Megs Dirt Digging Department". All that hard-earnt independence money ending up in Harvey Specter's pocket. Oh, my.

I think that Mrs Mountbatten-Windsor is going to be a hard task master to poor old misunderstood and so-put-upon Mr M-W. I actually believe that he genuinely wanted to leave and she's just giving him the moral support / kick up the backside to put his desires into motion. It's not like he has the gumption / intelligence to do it on his own. She'll probably tire of his dimness and kick him to the kerb in 5 years time.

Further on, I think that America will still sustain them because they don't understand / care about the subtleties of royalty and royal-ness. The Sussexes will happily go along provided they see the cash.

Everyone's a winner.

Except, perhaps, their little boy.

JolieOBrien · 19/01/2020 05:14

I honestly think she will eventually leave the marriage and this is just the beginning.

sashh · 19/01/2020 06:04

Not read the full thread but one thing occurs to me, PH only had on official engagement? Royal engagements are planned months, sometimes years ahead, nothing the royal diary looks to me like there has been some previous discussion.

I also think they are taking the heat away from uncle Andrew.

Womenwotlunch · 19/01/2020 06:07

She may or not leave the marriage, none of us know. However, at least they will have a chance to make the marriage work.
Marriage is hard whether you’re Royal or not.
Some parts of the press ( including Royal reporters) have been moaning about Meghan and Harry , telling them to leave and now that they are leaving they are frothing at the mouth. In particular, the odious Piers’ stalker’ Morgan who has led a poisonous campaign against MM. The man is totally unhinged. Scary
The fact is , whether people want to admit it or not, Prince Harry is the most popular member of the Royal Family after the Queen. I feel that Harry and Meghan reinvigorated the RF and even ardent Republicans became just a little more tolerant of the Monarchy.
The truth is that they are definitely a great loss to the Royal Family

SpanishLady · 19/01/2020 06:58

So is Harry on a plane outta here as we speak?

CarolMarx · 19/01/2020 07:01

Jesus H Christ I’ve never seen so many boot lickers on the one thread. Vitriol against a family (that is what Meghan Harry and Archie are) because of some outdated notion of Britishness. Snivelling and pathetic people with no self esteem.

SingingLily · 19/01/2020 07:01

If only H&M had been a little more patient. There are still opportunities here for making a bit of money...

I love Catherine of Aragon's posts - very well written (even when just about what's she's eating!!)

More vidéos of Harry pitching Meghan for voiceover work

Harry is also asking zJohn Favreau,director of the Lion King.
They really were not joking. Beyoncé and Jay Z in the background look really awkward. Their expressions are “wtaf”

I think voiceovergate is the symbol of the beginning of the end for the Sussexes. They were obviously thinking about leaving during her maternity leave; because that was one of the first events back.

There is no content for a “victim” type interview on Oprah or Ellen because the Queen has on paper given them their blessing and singled out Meghan as a valued member of the family, despite her calling the family toxic.

The way the Queen has presented it to the public has been a master stroke in PR.
I bet the Communications director; Christian Jones, pr advisor to the Cambridges, has had a big hand in how this was handled. He has done a brilliant job for the Cambridges pr.

I reckon Meghan will open up the Tig again.

I think they are set to make money; but as a couple, they have lost their cachet. Meghan won’t care:; but Harry will feel it, especially when there are things like the balcony after the Trooping of the colour. Archie is highly unlikely to ever experience it. I can’t believe even Meghan would have the brass neck to come back to the UKafter this.

I think the Queen’s statement is to leave the door open for Harry in the event of the inevitable divorce.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 19/01/2020 07:31

Meghan’s father’s comments are pretty insightful

Planeplane · 19/01/2020 07:35

The way the Queen has presented it to the public has been a master stroke in PR.

Yes, I agree. I think she's made it really difficult for them to just cash in...and if they can't cash in, or enter the world of politics then what do they have!?

fripperyclose · 19/01/2020 07:37

Surely we can take an estranged father's comments with a pinch of salt. Tbh I find all this vitriol against Meghan pretty weird, I can TOTALLY imagine the royal family being completely unwelcoming towards her. All this "oh the poor queen" is ridiculous.

MummyOfBoyAndGirl · 19/01/2020 07:44

Wow Curly another cringeworthy video about voiceover work. Harry should be better than this!

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 19/01/2020 07:50

I can understand why Meghan felt stultified by royal life. There's something really off about the way the RF are treated as enslaved exhibits. No amount of money or privilege is worth that.

I'm not at all keen on H&M or the way they go about things but if they can live their new life without being tacky and damaging the institution of the monarchy then good luck to them.

HMQ has offered them a compassionate and pragmatic solution that acknowledges Meghan as a valued member of the family and builds bridges. The Sussexes could learn a lot from her about grace and dignity.

unkindnessofravens · 19/01/2020 07:58

Anyone taking bets on whether they will turn up at the Oscars, seems like the path they are on now? (Plus, I hear the goody bags are epic!).

StartupRepair · 19/01/2020 08:00

If any of us thought about it for 2 minutes we could see that there would be constraints in marrying in. Why did Meghan not think these would apply to her?
