Harry and Meghan Resigning - HRH No More

[TheMustressMhor]

Thread Nine.

How will they react to this?

Just how is Harry going to make money though other than the “celeb” route

surprised by all this negative sentiment over here.
the british press took a young couple trying to use the influence they have for the better and set out to destroy their reputation, family and happiness because piers morgan got his ego hurt.
and so many people are happy to craw along.

I hope that I myself would also have had the guts to choose me and my family once I realized that nothing good was ever going to come out on this side of the pond.

You'd think people trying to live their own lifes and looking to work would get better press, but here we are, people are brawling for them to even remove the crown in their logo - what is your issue?

this should be beneath you.

So just to clarify, people want Harry and Meghan to not take any money from either the tax payer or his family, but also don’t want them to make money as part of a “celeb” lifestyle

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?

Because it seems to be the nature of her personality to think she can have everything her way. And, tbf, it's looking like she may be right.

They are both kicking the arse off 40. They are not a young couple.

For the umpteenth time, they are not a "young couple".

Kate will be rightfully worried. Who will the press go after next? She's already had a touch of it she must be looking at this and live in fear for her children.

That new video of them touting for work is so cringy. And if that is the level of Harry's negotiating 'skill' they are hardly going to set the world alight. He should have stuck with the charity event he ditched instead.

Beyoncé’s face in the video is seriously WTF.

extrastrongnosugar I completely agree with you.

The ridiculous statement and website through which they were dictating their terms - cake and eat it style

Now the embarrassing clawback

They are still referring to themselves as their royal highnesses

Tbh this is all enough for me. It's all I need to know.

Other things are irritating and interesting in hindsight or maybe more if a red flag than I personally wanted them to be cause I liked this couple. But neither here nor there at the end of the day.

Yep. Since they're already sitting on what most people would consider enough money to last a lifetime, that would be great. (My post also tempered with a . Since jokes/wryness are often missed without clear signposting, it seems).
Doesn't stop them living a celeb lifestyle, using their talents to earn a living like musicians, actors, directors etc do.

So Meghan could earn from acting and Harry could fly helicopters. Or something.

With the court case with her Dad I think the I press speculation will stay on them for a looong time. Annus horribilis springs to mind.

They are still referring to themselves as their royal highnesses

They are “their royal highnesses” until the new arrangements come into force in spring.

I was being slightly facetious. I’m amused by the amount of people who don’t want them getting any funding but still think they have a say in what’s an appropriate way of them behaving.

This behaviour should have been beneath THEM.

I am flabbergasted anyone is defending these two, given the way they went about things and what they actually intended to outcome to be.

I’m wondering about the lack of Access to ‘clean up’ - the ones who keep things quiet and out of the press. Royalty has this (doesn’t always work though) and there is always a bit of goodwill (I suspect with regards to the queen but she won’t be around for ever then it will be gloves off with the rest of them) but celebs rely on their mates and family not dishing the dirt and expensive lawyers.

It’s going to be a full time job fighting those fires.

Oh for Christ's sake someone desperate to start a new life following a break from the awful RF could choose not to do that. Why not "Meghan and Harry?"

I think the Queen has aced it. She can't actually stop them doing anything can she? And being the queen she can't come out and explicitly say that Meghan is talking tosh about not being accepted. Her statement says just enough and any negative cone back from H and M will make them look even worse that they already do.

I'm sure they will do well in America... not so sure people here will ever look at them in quite the same way though.

So just to clarify, people want Harry and Meghan to not take any money from either the tax payer or his family, but also don’t want them to make money as part of a “celeb” lifestyle

If "making money from celeb lifestyle" means living off connections, monetising their past etc, then yes of course! They need to earn a living, it's how that he majorotu of poster on these threads have been discussing (there is's too many Oates now to expect people to have RTFT).

So yes, finding (paying) roles which are not just 'sleb twaddle! is goto be key, and it will be interesting to see what they do.

And if they choose to do the latter, through the former that’s up to them.

Regarding the HRH I'd put money on them never announcing the date that is finished. Just quietly hope people will forget it ever happened. If they can still use the Duke and Duchess it won't make a difference anyway.

@fripperyclose

Surely we can take an estranged father's comments with a pinch of salt.
Why? Just because they are estranged doesn't mean her father's comments are not worthy of being listened to. He is expressing his feelings about the highly publicised situation and is perfectly entitled to. I think his expressions of disappointment indicate she was brought up to behave better than she has.

If you want to know why this story is so popular to the newspapers this might be enlightening

What if they lose the court case?
