Thread 18?

[Froq]

I go away for the weekend and thread 17 disappears

March isn’t too far away now. Will we see their return for the commonwealth service?

Have they found a new home yet?

Will they make an appearance at Beatrice’s wedding?

Website statement is still there

sussexroyal.com/spring-2020-transition/

"The couple have had to bow to the logic of their desire for a new and independent life - they will be royal no more."

Jonny Dymond, BBC Royal correspondent.

How's that going to go down with the A listers and the megabucks bankers?

They've just lost not only their USP, but their SSP (single selling point).

I hope they're upping security for the Cambridges!

I seem to remember a quote coming up when I clicked the Instagram story swipe up yesterday which had a quote about ‘focusing on what brings us together, not what tears us apart’ but it now seems to have gone, did anyone else see this??

I’m now starting to worry about them tbh.
If they are completely cut off and with no prospects that won’t end well.

Thanks for that quote from Romeo and Juliet dan. Very apt!
My personal feeling is that HM has really got the measure now if both of them. I think she was trying to be kind and inclusive initially because she loves Harry. I suspect now she is angry.
It’s a pity PA was not dealt with more decisively. It must be so hard for her at her age to be having to face all this.
That shot at HM about the use of the word Royal abroad is just staggering in its sheer arrogance.

Poppy I saw that quote but on their website, not on their Instagram

Cant get the website to work......

Just a thought - I hope the Queen will reinforce the rule that no heirs should travel together in the future. I think W, K, G & C have all flown together on several flights over the last few years. They really should not create a possibly desperately tragic situation.

aj I thought the same. If I was Will I’d never travel with the whole family anyway. I thought there was a rule about it too.

Click doesn't work buttery!

I’ve just checked, I can see the statement.
And ha, the typo in it that I pointed out on here last night has been corrected.
Ye Olde Wording and Ye New-y Wording attached (Can’t get Shakespeare out of my head now).

OV it works here, could be something on your end?

Dandy they fixed it after you pointed it out to them
You’re welcome, Megs!

Ugh, the pomposity of the wording makes my skin crawl!

Yes poppy I saw it in stories then it disappeared s IG stories do, sadly, especially when you wanted to read it again!

Not wishing to fan the flames again but I think the company moment about “going overs people’s heads” referred to the general public and not the PP on this thread.

Anyway, I think HMQ is ruthless when she needs to be and will protect the crown at all costs. H&M have told the RF to FRO so HMQ is saying ok, off you trot and good luck. I bet Charles is beside himself, with Camilla trying to stop him having an apoplectic fit.

I hadn't noticed, until it was mentioned upthread, the capitalisation of "The" before the whole "D&DoS" fandango.

So I have learned something there as I didn't know they weren't just plain "the D&DoS".

Bit like referring to god... sorry: God with a capital starting the pronoun (treading v-e-r-y carefully here, so as not to send the whole thread down a black hole - Black Hole? - as to the existence/nature of a/the d(D)eity...).

It did seem very laboured, even if correct.
But would go with a report in the dread DM that MM has apparently told friends that it doesn't matter if they don't use the word "royal" (even though they could, if they wanted to, so there), because Haich and Archie will always have royal blood regardless. Also "so there".

My "so there's". Just to be accurate.

Yes I was about to say the same thing about not noticing the The until a PP’s post. Agree probably formally correct but not necessary.

I did notice how they pointed out that the Queen has said they’d remain cherished members of the royal family and how Harry is sixth in line to the throne. Lest we forget they are still The Royals.

Arguably the Duke of Windsor had more “royal” blood than any of them and look how ostracised and irrelevant he became.

I did wonder for a split second over the capitalisation of The, but I admit it went over my head It all makes sense now that I see your posts about it - thank you!

SR I didn’t view the Queen as ruthless until last night

I can see it on my iPhone. Absolutely incredible the way they have emphasized thet are still HRHs and he is in line to the throne. I really,really am looking forward to the couple's apologists spinning that one. Plus the bit about the closing of the office at BP - notice the snide PoW dig there? Honestly, they're a disgrace. It's unfortunate this is being reviewed in a year as it gives them the chance to keep the ambiguity going.

Shout-out to this succinct post last night by @Duckyneedsacleanfor making me laugh:

They just sound like absolute twats, don't they?

Be interesting to see if anyone curtsys at the commonwealth, and to
Whom.

I cocked up quoting PP’s name - @Duckyneedsaclean

"While there is not any jurisdiction overseas" over the use of 'royal.' Jesus, these people. WTF.
