Harry and Meghan 19 (The One With The Capitalisation)

[TheMustressMhor]

Off we go.

@alliwantisagoodnightssleep i actually don't know either but think there is some advertising that clearly earns money but have read that all these posts are building meghan's case for financial renumeration when they get divorced...

Do we actually know that Archie is a US citizen, or is it just a presumption?

It is clear that Archie is entitled to US citizenship, but it is not know if it has yet been claimed for him. Some expatriate parents choose not to (as it brings lifelong tax liability, wherever domiciled) and they do not want to make that decision on behalf of their child during infancy.

Entitlement doesn't expire, so there is no reason to pursue it early on unless there is some specific reason. I suppose a more permanent move to US might be such a reason, but sorting out Harry's status there would be the more pressing issue, would it not?

That was my understanding Rose - it's just that some comments seem to accept it as a done deal, and I thought I might have missed something.

Seems sensible to wait if there's no time expiry, and let the child choose (any child!) when they become an adult.

I think that it is a done deal in the sense that the child acquires US citizenship at his birth. Proving the citizenship is a separate matter and that normally requires that the parent who is the US citizen file the necessary documentation. If that is not done, when the child is an adult, he may pursue providing the documentation himself or he can also choose to renounce his US citizenship.

Citizenship is a matter of fact. It can be evidenced in different ways. Most commonly, via a passport.

Can Harry just rock up to live in the States if he doesn't have a job?

I’m with puzzled why on earth would I want or care about something promoted by a reality contestant? It’s not like they are experts in their field.

I bet W&K will now have another baby or two, just to shove H&M further down the order of succession and help them to disappear from everyone's attention.

TimeLady-Harry can visit the US for up to six months. MM can sponsor an application for his permanent residency as her spouse. No need to prove he has a job, and the income requirement on her part is low.

From today's Times

The duke and duchess said in a statement on Friday that they would not be establishing a charitable foundation but left it unclear what they would be doing instead. A royal source said they had not yet worked out how they would promote worthy causes.

Have comments on the IG been disabled? I can’t see any today.

Oops sorry they are still there.

I read that although K wanted another child, they have been asked to be thoughtful about the climate and limited resources and lead by example and not have more.

I imagine that was another tense moment for PW and PH after PH publicly said they’d only maximum of 2 children to save the planet. That was a nasty thing to say publicly when his brother had 3 already.

There are some draconian rules the RF have to abide by. Apparently HMQ doesn’t like family members holding hands in public or any public touching. So no hugs etc. One should never turn their back to HMQ (that may explain why PH was so cross about her doing this on the balcony as she must have known this rule). No crossing legs when sitting, only permitted at the ankle and knees must be together. I tried this at a meeting the other day, found it to be a good work out for my muscles!

There are loads more.

Times article very interesting. The slant that it's her and not him is a bit concerning. Loose cannon springs to mind. I really did take her at face value initially. I wonder who is enabling her? And why she feels entitled to use the platform of the another county's institution to further her aims. There was an obvious solution- go back to America and have a crack at Hollywood! TV presenting, politics, what have you.

I mean when she was still in Suits and looking for an upgrade.

‘It’s a bit of mischief-making’ Re the wording of the Sussexes statement.

Interesting choice of words from the Times article - thanks for sharing.

Also I forgot to say thank you to worfs for the flowers

I’ve also read that by disagreeing with HMQ and BP statement so publicly or putting their own interpretation out which wasn’t agreed by both sides, this will be a huge cause for concern to A listers, celebs and importantly corporations in the future in case of any slight disagreement and the damage it could do to their brand.

I can see this.

Also when their close involvement with JPM and GS was released, the negative dealings of those corporations were highlighted in the press. Bad for business.

"The duke and duchess said in a statement on Friday that they would not be establishing a charitable foundation'

I thought it had been described as a charitable entity all along

Which I noted, thinking that it was likely to be something to do with different terminology depempndung on which country would be its future legal home. But perhaps it is because they are thinking f something different.

Presumably we find out in April? I wonder if any of their previous staff will be offered positions there? There was some suggestion that they would be represented in Britain by their charity/foundation/entity staff

There will be a certain type of sleb that will live being in the thick of the drama- and probs write their own tell-all about them.

As much as the a list slebs love a proper royal, they will not take proper kindly to the sniping and brouhaha surrounding LAsussexes.

They would prefer to bide with the main body o’ the kirk as it were.

As others have said, they will get the lizard listers. Ones who have to crawl out from under rocks to be noticed. Or folk who have something to punt or folk who need to shine their star once in a while.

The elite will distance themselves now for privacy reasons as this pair look as though they’re going to have to go down the gobshite route to stay relevant.

Personally this gobshite is astounded by the posts saying that they issued a statement saying they weren’t doing a charitable foundation. Like others, I thought this was the plan...

Their billionaire champagne lifestyle will be a struggle on their Irn Bru finances. (You know what I mean)

Old Hal has given up everything for this duchess dame. I hope that she strives to make him happy in return. And he for her.

They have made such a god awful mess of everything really when it shouldn’t have been so.

It seems that all the Press is incredibly negative about them both now. Instagram deluged with negative comments. The Queen looking exhausted and grim in the car to Church yesterday.
One of the accounts examines the language and points out that the text in the statements H and M issued was obviously written by M.

In terms of celebs and A Listers still hanging with them:

I’m sure Oprah or Ellen would absolutely still have them on their show for an interview as was rumoured to happen. The gawk factor means the show would get A LOT of media interest. The first interview anyway. Maybe the second. After that, what’s the point? But in the beginning that association would be v beneficial to Oprah/Ellen/similar.

The Obamas and their like would not benefit from an ongoing association. Remember Michelle’s “when they go low, we go high?” I think we can say that the Sussexes have just proved they don’t share this philosophy
