Harry & Meghan - to hope the Royals answer back?

I think the allegations in the Oprah interview are serious enough that protocol should be breached and the Royals should have a voice to give their side too.

“Archie is not comparable to Bea and Eugenie, he is the future King’s grandson.”

Aren’t Bea and Eugenie the queen’s granddaughters?

Stratfordplace · 08/03/2021 22:05

Can’t take an Uber. Doctors, however, can and do make home visits. Utter nonsense.

Lampzade · 08/03/2021 22:05

The Royal Family have come out looking weak and unsupportive

As I said previously, they are better off going down the mediation route

Lollipop1234 · 08/03/2021 22:08

“I laughed the most at "living authentically"”

Yes we chuckled at that too!

But they are way down the pecking order. Harry and Will are (or we’re at the time in H’s case), senior royals.

They want the millions and luxury lifestyle plus ultra security.
I did think at first when they left they wouldn't go for the most expensive houses in LA.
Will probably lead even more a luxurious lifestyle than they did in the UK.

In all honesty. If she couldn't leave the palace in all those months. I would just make ANY excuse just to be out. Even if that means I'm feeling very very low (and I can get a doctor called out to the home), going to the hospital would be a breath of fresh air.

@mainsfed

It sounds like Meghan was upset about the lack of security for Archie when she was still within the RF.

Which seems fair enough, M&H were in the public eye m, even more so than Will and Kate, she would rightly have been upset.

Coupled with the comments to Harry about the potential darkness of Archie’s skin, it’s understandable why Meghan thinks Archie was seen as lesser. Archie is not comparable to Bea and Eugenie, he is the future King’s grandson.

Do you mean he's more important than Beatrice and Eugenie? Because while he's the grandson of a future monarch, they are the granddaughters of the actual, sitting on the throne right now, monarch. Hence they get HRH styling and Archie does not (yet).
likeamillpond · 08/03/2021 22:14

This is a woman who likes to fall out with people.
Probably why there was only ONE person from her family at the wedding.

Lollipop1234 · 08/03/2021 22:14

But Archie would/will be comparable to Bea and Eugenie or Peter and Zara are to the queen, when Charles takes the throne.

Charles has been talking of slimming down the monarchy for years (probably because of the Andrew situation) to modernise it.

I’m surprised that they wanted Archie to have a title, I would have thought they’d have preferred him to live a life outside the limelight based on their dislike of the uk media.

No matter how you look at it.

I would want security for my child. Unfortunately, Harry is the son of a prince and his Grandma is the Queen. Him, Meghan and their children will always be a target. No matter how "low down" their pecking order is. Plus! Many many people are internally racists. I would want security for my child no matter what.

Lollipop1234 · 08/03/2021 22:16

Charles ended the funding of the security for Bea and Eugenie which wound up Andrew. Andrew now pays it himself.

likeamillpond · 08/03/2021 22:17

So have your husband and son met your Father now that you live in the US?"

Andrew Marr should have interviewied them.
Now that I WOULD watch.

Harry / William are (or Harry was) senior Royals. Archie is not. He is not even a grandchild of the Queen, which B+E are.

As working royals they would get security.

Do you think we should fund it now they have moved abroad and not doing royal duties?

He is coming across as being like a spoilt child. Why can’t they fund it themselves like film stars etc would?

I'm surprised they are making this argument about titles now, when a) Archie was never going to be a prince at this point and b) when he was born they decided they didn't want him to have a title - Earl or Lord were both options

mainsfed · 08/03/2021 22:23

I don’t think Archie would have been comparable to B&E, he is (was)the son of a senior royal. Not saying he should have been a prince, but his parents were massively in the public eye and given the furore around Meghan, I can see why they felt uneasy at the lack of security for Archie.

I’m not a royalist, I’d love the RF to be abolished but I can see it from M&H perspective.

mainsfed · 08/03/2021 22:26

Harry and Meghan stepped down in Jan 2020, Archie was born in May 2019.

mainsfed · 08/03/2021 22:27

Meghan and Harry saying they were told before / around Archie’s birth he wouldn’t have security.

pastaparadise · 08/03/2021 22:27

Having seen the news, don't think I can bring myself to watch.

I agree with pp, it's hard to believe more serious allegations when there are clearly misleading comments and lies thrown in there as well. If H wants to retain ties to his family at all, he's blowing it. I feel sorry for Archie who seemingly will grow up without either extended family.

I cant help but feel she's acting the whole time.

secular39 · 08/03/2021 22:27

[quote DontReallyCareBut]The latest picture they’ve released shows her holding Archie over her bump. Not something I’d do at that stage of pregnancy after a miscarriage! So they don’t want to be in the media but must do interviews and release pics for their adoring fans .

Yes it’s DM but a picture never lies right?

Confused That makes no sense. So she should not hold he young infant son, over her bump, because she could risk a miscarriage?

You must really not like her.

Same4Walls · 08/03/2021 22:28

Does anyone genuinely believe this would be true. For example if Archie wasn't with his parents but his nanny he wouldn't have any protection at all??

BeaLola · 08/03/2021 22:33

Prince Charles is probably very hurt by his child's actions

Harry sounds like a kid not a 36 year old husband and father- also I'm not going to share the detail but I will hint and allude to it on prime time tv

You left your "job"as a member of the Royal Family but you still have cleft them to fund your lavish lifestyle - sorry your authentic lifestyle

I hope your house is nice seeing as it reportedly cost $14.5

No I don’t believe that at all.
Wakeupin2022 · 08/03/2021 22:36

I don’t think Archie would have been comparable to B&E, he is (was)the son of a senior royal.

B&E were the queen's grandchildren and the children of her 2nd son (3rd child).

Archie is the queen's great grand child. He is the son of her sons 2nd son.

B&E are at this time higher up the pecking order.

That will change when Charles is King.
