Harry and Meghan Resigning - HRH No More

[TheMustressMhor]

Thread Nine.

How will they react to this?

To add another post re PA. I think what he has alleged to have done is abhorrent. But as there is still an ongoing legal case possibly involving him I won't comment because I don't want a thread zapped or my posts deleted. 🤷🏻‍♀️

SeperatedSwans makes a valid point.

The next thread title should probably not mention PA, but the accompanying blurb ought to contain a disclaimer.

Although actually I am getting very weary of reading remarks which suggest that none of us who post on these threads are bothered by PA's alleged behaviour.

It is entirely possible for there to be more than one big story about the RF occurring simultaneously.

So am I right in thinking that they are still HRH, still have titles, will still get money from PC & can use Frogmore whenever they want?

So what has changed???

They won't be doing royal duties-fine, they don't want to-they won't get paid for not doing royal duties, except they kind of will if PC is subbing them!

By the time George is 18 I doubt there will be much of a Royal family left.
I think his dad will just be a figurehead and most of them will be out of the limelight. I don't think we will be a republican nation but the Royals won't be as important and it will be vastly slimmed down.
I think Charles will be ok as King but he'll be too old to travel to many places by then.
He might even draft in William to help and those two will have do more of the travelling and P R things. A kind of ' two king ' system. :)
It's sad that William won't have his brother around to bounce off ; it was nice seeing them as a team and they all seemed to get along once. Still, it might work out alright.
The Queen isn't going anywhere ; she'll live till she's 100 I bet. She looks in good health and those pics of her today were the happiest I've seen her in photos for a while.
I believe there are more royalists than not in the UK despite all their many problems and people do seem to admire the Queen at least.

Well, looking at the list of engagements for the next month, it appears Princess Anne is taking up the slack, with up to 3 appointments a day, with Edward and the Gloucesters in a supporting role. Even Princess Alexandre has something timetabled!

Misha Nonoo is teasing on Instagram that she has a new collaboration coming, and 'can you guess who it's with?' I think we can! Seems like she is slipping seamlessly back into her previous lifestyle so she'll be happy, not sure about Harry though.

TraceyBeakerSoYeah :
"......why on earth has HMQ shot herself in the foot by having Andrew photographed with her this morning?
Is she on glue ?........"

I agree completely with the above statements.

brilliant post sirching! Particularly this:

The Royal Family aims be symbol of unification, impartiality, stability. The focus is on them serving the country as best they can and placing duty before self interest.

In return, they get a gilded cage to live in. It has worked for over 1000 years. When people are charged with a criminal offence the case is the Crown Vs Whoever. The Queens Speech opens a new parliamentary session. The role is intrinsic to the fabric of the institutions of the UK.

It would have to be someone of either spectacular stupidity or unfathomable arrogance, to marry into the family, refuse all help and advice re protocol, and expect that they can make the role their own. They can't.

[Btw, I am fairly certain that extrastrong is American]

I wonder if in years to come we will have a situation like the Japanese royal family where they are running out of royals?

@phpolly Thanks, thats kind of you.

Re HMQ going to church with PA this morning - maybe she thinks that since the entire past few months have been an enormous clusterfuck, that the public perception cant be any worse than it already is?

Or maybe she just thinks that she is 93 and doesn't give a fuck anymore. She can do what she likes as she is the Queen. And to be fair, whilst PA is clearly a monumental arsehole, he hasn't been charged with anything and if she refused to be seen with him, then it could look as if rhe family think thst the claims against PA have validity.

Plus she is his mum. She can love him AND think he is a total knob simultaneously.

The first pic on that BBC news article is hilarious!

I’m
Happy to volunteer, catrescue, I’ll happily cut ribbons in deepest Slough in return for a tiara or two.

Re: the important announcement of Kate ... yes, the climate award was announced but I am positive that it was announced that it was going to be a very busy important year for Kate herself. I wondered whether it was something to do with maternity hospitals / early years. I do wonder if something was squashed because of the H&M situation.

Ha ha me too, cutting ribbons sounds a doddle. I'm happy to marry in, I'll just not read the papers when they talk about the size of my bum.

Maybe the queen was dragging him of to church because he’d been a bad boy. Like a sort of punishment?

Going to church isn't a punishment.

Can somebody explain to me why a charity would gift Meghan a gold and daiamond necklace ?
Surely it would be the other way around - the charity could auction it for funds.

It’s be been trying to work this out, about the necklace.

Going to church to ask for forgiveness and repent with the head of the C of E is probably a punishment as such.

The family are a Christian family, so I imagine Andrew has some grovelling to do internally for his fuck ups.

I did laugh at ' running out of Royals! ' ( my fear is running out of loo rolls)!
I've never thought of it before, but they may well do at this rate. Especially if George and Charlotte decide they would rather live abroad and Jack it all in.

I can't see William calling quits or George. Don't forget they believe they are appointed by god for this role. Their faith is linked to their duty, George will be raised to "understand" this, same as William has, so stepping back and quitting as a heir to the throne sort of rocks their faith a bit.

As far as I'm aware, Lady Louise and Viscount Severn are a Prince and Princess, but aren't styled like that — they're styled as children of an Earl instead. Like the way Camilla is Princess of Wales, but uses Duchess of Cornwall. As far as I know, they could choose to use it in the future.

Princess Anne's children were different, because they didn't have an automatic right to Prince/Princess, it would have had to have been given to them.

Of course going to church isn’t a punishment - but being taken along by your mum to see the error of your ways could be seen as punishment (if you don’t want to go).

Sorry - I was being silly - just remembering wee boys being dragged in by the ears by their mums to hear a fire and brimstone sermon when they had been caught bunking off school (I was a good choir girl).

Don't forget they believe they are appointed by god for this role.

No they don't. Belief in the Divine Right has never been part of the English idea of monarchy; that's partly what got Charles I into trouble.
