Harry has a lot to answer for.

I think Harry has a lot to answer for in this whole debacle. He's a 35 year old man brought up as a Royal who should know how the whole thing works and how to ensure his wife is fully educated in the rules and regs. of being a Royal. She was his wife, why on earth was she going to HR at the Palace for help with mental health problems? Harry has loads of experience and the knowledge of where to get help, what on earth was he doing? Harry knows full well that there is a rule about not being given a royal title when it comes to Archie. Why didn't he explain this to Megan? It has absolutely nothing to do with Archie's skin colour. Why is Harry moaning about having their security removed given his father paid £4m for their security after the tax payer stopped paying after they moved to California?
It is not the Royal family's decision whither or not someone has The Metropolitan Police fly over to do security duties.
Prince William sorted the press out when they were making disparaging comments about Kate, why didn't he put his foot down as his brother did?

In about 15 years they will be opening supermarkets

Ridiculous comment... I mean... come on....... that is just laughable. I presume you're joking

What's your prediction on where they'll be in 15 years?
Roussette · 19/03/2021 17:50

I have no idea. I'm not a mystic.

However I would hate to be expecting my second child with my DH and have all this speculation about what is going to happen when my marriage breaks up. Not even 'if'
But 'when'
It's unpleasant.

@Lauren15

I have a feeling that Diana was the stricter parent as well, based on many things I’ve read over the years. I think she was extremely hot on good manners etc and showing respect to people. I can imagine as well that Charles was over indulgent with both boys after losing their mother. I know of people who’ve lost spouses and tried to over compensate by spoiling their children. Any normal family would have pulled their children out of boarding school after losing their mother. I know the boys’ schools tried their best but nothing beats being at home in those circumstances. No wonder H needed therapy.
I don’t agree. After all, William and Harry had spent years at boarding school (Harry went at the age of eight). They probably had a better relationship with their housemasters and friends than they would have done being home with Charles, so that sense of normality was better for them. They were both effectively brought up by nannies and boarding schools, as was normal within their family. They probably would have needed therapy without their mother dying.

Have her acting roles all been the 'hot girl' types?
She looks young for her age and if her mother is anything to go by, she will remain attractive as she ages.

She could return to acting. It would attract a lot of publicity to the show.

As for PH, not sure what he can do.

Truelymadlydeeplysomeonesmum · 19/03/2021 17:57

The whole situation is unpleasant. That is why people are commenting

Mystic. That is an interesting word. Don't hear that very often here. Most people say psychic

Roussette · 19/03/2021 18:01

Maybe that's what I meant?!

Mystic Meg... you probably won't remember her, you're possibly too young?!

SoWhyNot · 19/03/2021 18:02

Isn’t Mystic Meg still busy predicting?

Roussette · 19/03/2021 18:04

Awww bless... maybe she is! She's a blast from the past for me.

SoWhyNot · 19/03/2021 18:07

It’s a shame she wasn’t very good or else most of the country could have won the lottery years ago!

You are probably right, they won’t even get those gigs
Roussette · 19/03/2021 18:24

Rightio.... whatever you say...

Just bear in mind... hoping for something to happen doesn't necessarily mean it will.....

Lauren15 · 19/03/2021 18:32

The RF will never see them go penniless.

redspecial · 19/03/2021 18:33

my mystic prediction is in 15 years, Harry will be older & wiser, in deepest Africa or SA working with a charity building schools or something along those lines. and spending time with his DC on his family's vast country estates, well away from the public and media spotlight.

Meghan will be earning as an exec producer on assorted TV shows. The DC will be wheeled out for premiers and photo calls, everywhere they go will be tipped off to the media.

They may still be married but they are both DC of divorced parents, neither seem particularly grounded when it comes to family relationships. The chat show reinforced that.

I don't hate them, I was happy for them when they married although my opinion of H has tanked spectacularly with all this and their petulant whining when so many are really suffering. I just think they married before they really properly knew one another.

The first few years of marriage are the most exciting and fun. They don't seem to be having much fun at all, if their interview was anything to go by. Its all so woeful, when they have everything they could want in life and a baby on the way you'd think they'd be joyous and that would have come across in their chat show - but it didn't. I do not buy that their entire marriage has been so clouded because someone said something before they were married. Happy newlyweds are in a blissed out bubble, not kicking off in private about tiaras and money and titles they claim in public not to want. It just seems a tad over-engineered for public consumption rather than real life and marriage is real life once the initial shine has worn off. Now they're alone in LA they'll really get to know one another and they seem to be very different people who appear to want different things from life.

Fergie was bankrupt.
SoWhyNot · 19/03/2021 19:05

Fergie might have been bankrupt but she has also been living in luxury with Andrew for many years.

Lockdownbear · 19/03/2021 19:10

I don't deny her and Andrew have lived in the same house for donkeys years. But the RF were quite happy to see the ex-Royal skint.

If Andrew and her didn't get on well and live together would the RF have supported her? I don't think so.

I wonder whether that would still have been the case if she was still married to Andrew though. Allegedly the queen bailed out her own mother on occasion.

There is talk she is going to run for presidency in 2024.

redspecial · 19/03/2021 19:35

There is talk she is going to run for presidency in 2024 she can't even cope with her own parents, siblings, in-laws and staff, no way is she fit to run a country. LMAO.

PerveenMistry · 19/03/2021 19:38

American here with a side question: if Andrew and Fergie live together why are they divorce?

Lauren15 · 19/03/2021 19:40

Fergie was bankrupt after divorcing Andrew. I think the crucial issue is security though. The level of security H is expecting is extremely expensive.
