Harry and Meghan Resigning - HRH No More

[TheMustressMhor]

Thread Nine.

How will they react to this?

@SirChing

Thank you for your posts they say everything I would like express and don't have the energy to 😬

Alas I am not OK today as I have some sort of flu type virus

Will the Canadians be happier to have them now they’re no longer officially royal? Are they even permitted to just move there? I get they’ll no doubt fudge immigration but what do Canadians think of this? And if they’re no longer officially royal does that mean the SussexRoyal ‘brand’ is in the bin?

You are wrong Mary. That's why the Monarch is head of the Church.

@MyBlueMoonbeam

Sorry to hear you're not okay today.

Is it me, or is there a disproportionate amount of posters on these threads who have come down with a flu-type viral illness?

I think we should be told.

It’s that time of the year. Always bugs going around post Christmas and when the kids go back to school.

The Queen does believe in the divine right.

I think several posters are missing the point re PA / thinking they "suggest" something which they don't .

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.

What causes comment is the number of posts "discussing" Meghan and Harry's behaviour compared to the number of posts when PA was headline news .

No doubt I'll be accused of "storming" in and arrogantly imposing my views on others . I had thought it was ok to write posts which put opposing views but clearly not .

I hope they will now be happy. I doubt it & I suspect that they will be divorced within 5 years. But I hope I’m wrong.

Btw - Re the allegations of William alleged affair, anyone know if there were blinds about it?

I’m not particularly impressed with HM going to church this morning with PA. he should be lying low imo.

Also I was on the PA threads & said he was a twat among other things. But let’s remember he hasn’t been charged with anything & it’s ongoing so one needs to be careful about what is said.

There were definitely blinds around the affair rumour. Before the press started picking at if I remember correctly.

I'm doubting Williams affair more and more. I believe he and Harry fell out because H. wanted to quit.

Is it possible that PA tries to get photographed with HM to convince the MET/ home office that he still needs his security?

maybe we’re not all that surprised that Andrew is abhorrent. He was always Randy Andy, prince of golf and has a reputation for being a giant snob. Fergie has embarrassed herself and blagged her way down the years in pursuit of financial independence, including a loan from Epstein.

Maybe the public expected better from H&M, because that’s what they professed to be, and had high hopes for them as part of the modern RF. And of course these threads are about H&M, if you wish to discuss Andrew why not start a thread?

As has been said many, many, MANY times now, there’s nothing stopping others creating PA threads.

We can’t hop in a time machine and go back to create more PA threads just so people aren’t pissed off at the difference in number of threads.

As you have demonstrated on several of these threads now, M&H are somewhat polarising - some posters love them, others hate them, some posters want to point out their contradictions and hypocrisy, others enjoy being blind to it. It creates discussion.

What is there to discuss about PA? Aren’t we all in agreement on that one? That is why there were fewer threads on him.

I had thought it was ok to write posts which put opposing views but clearly not .

I thought what most people were objecting to wasn't posts putting opposing views, but posts saying: "Stoppit! Stop posting now. You're a bunch of disgusting, sad, and over-invested people and - by the right invested in me by the thread police - I command you to cease and desist!".

Or something like that.

I may have got carried away there.

The PA case is still sub judice and as such, we all need to be careful what we write.

User Yes, you're probably right about the reason W and H fell out. That makes perfect sense.
I don't believe the affair rumours at all. I suspect perhaps Rose got over involved with William emotionally. especially if her husband was away a lot. Confidences, crying on the shoulder. Kate didn't like and distanced herself and William from them. That would be my guess.

Imagine being part of a family that have rules you have to live by ...i would have fucked off long ago

Actually, Froq is right.

There hasn't been a single post, anywhere on MN, which supports Prince Andrew.

The discussion, therefore, is rather one-sided, and there is no need for opposing views to be put, as there are no opposing views.

Even if he has not been charged or convicted of anything, MNetters seem to me to be united in disparaging PA.

Now Harry and Meghan, on the other hand...……..

Also going back to PA - I think we were all agreed on the PA threads that he was a fool at the very least so there wasn’t much to discuss.

my family have rules to live by. doesn’t everyones?

Cross post

The existence of so-called 'minor royals' shows that there's no absolute dividing line that could be used to exclude the Sussexes from being 'royal'. So I suspect the website and its name will stay. What level of interest there will be in the trademarked items produced under that label, I'm not sure. I can't imagine wanting a Sussex Royal pencil and suchlike, but I guess their team's market research shows different.

Divine Right of Kings has never been really part of the Church of England - the Queen might be the head of the Church, but unlike the Catholic Church that doesn't mean that she is believed to be any more divinely appointed than "Fred " is divinely appointed to be your Postman.

"One specific belief that helped to promote the idea of absolute monarchy was the divine right of kings"

In England absolute monarchy was effectively undermined by the Magna Carta, even if that didn't give everyone rights, it did mean that no-one not even the King had absolute rights.

There is more discussion here.

Ooh, I've only just noticed in that that Guardian piece about the Sussex 'deal' that it says: 'The arrangement will be reviewed in 12 months' time'. Interesting! Will the Queen hold a performance review?

The Divine right is most definitely part of being the monarch! That's why they are anointed with holy oil and made head of church. The queen is the equivelent of the pope is the easiest way to put it, but she's not elected she's born for that role.

As a Christian myself, I do also know what's it's like to have your faith and personal opinion at odds with one another, I can but possibly assume this is how HMQ has felt about some things that have gone on over the years. She's remained dutiful to the crown but also the sanctity of marriage. I don't think there's any surprise that Sophie is rumoured to be one of the faves too as Edward and Sophie's marriage is the only one to have lasted.
