Royal Family response to Harry and Meghan

[Peasepuddingbloodycold]

Any predictions? Any recommendations?
(And any thoughts when we get the response?).

Noooo, I want to see them cheek by jowl with Wills and Kate with all the glorious tabloid body language experts out in force to dissect every moment.

Just think of the hair! The outfits! The wasp-chewing faces!

I think they are in a very tricky position with regards to the Coronation after the Netflix documentary and the book. Ok, so we haven’t seen or read either of them yet, but from the trailers etc it’s all looking pretty negative about the RF. it will be very difficult for them to justify being there after they have pretty much said that the monarchy is an evil, racist institution that tried to destroy them! I suppose they have Archie’s birthday as a get out, but under normal circumstances, this would be a flimsy excuse.

Meant to addd, I have read that their plan was to allow things to die down a bit after the documentary and the book, then look for a rapprochement with the family. I think there are two hopes of that now 😆

I would take anything you read with a pinch of salt. It is clear the reporters make things up all the time.

this is what i dont get-they wanted out thats fine-so why do they bang on about their childrens titles and the protocol behind it why would you be bothered if you dont want any part of it

and all that coming out doing a meet and greet at the fineral i dont think william should have bothered inviting them-theyve thrown it all back in their face

@whynotwhatknot They have said they want their children to be able to decide for themselves.
Surely a lot of parents would take that approach? Turning down something your children might want when they become adults is a big step to take.

dont belive that sorry-she went off on one on oprah about how archie hasnt got his title because of them leaving when that wasnt even true

Hell no - if my children were given titles to demonstrate their part in a toxic family that had cause me nothing but abject misery and one I loathed with a passion I'd be handing their (and my) titles right back with bells on. Nothing would make me want my family to associate with that institution.

Of course, they might believe that their children having a title stretches out their ability to monetise the RF - but that's a poor reflection on them.

That is what they said at the time - what I posted.
And the children have not been offered a title.

So the reporters are making up the things about H&M, but everything H&M say is true?

Why ask that question? I am talking about reporters making things up.

Yes, they've said they want their children to decide for themselves - which is very poor of them. Why would any decent parent want their children to be part of such a racist institution - most parents would protect their family from that by severing all ties, not making Kardashian-esque documentaries.

@SirChenjins You have a good point there.
But as much as I want the monarchy abolished I would be unsure about making such a big decision for my children when they can decide as adults. Although I would hope they would not be interested when adults.

I'd be advocating for my children by aligning them with the values I hold for my family - and that wouldn't include the RF (if I were H&M). It would (for me) like being born into Scientology, having names/ranks associated with that bestowed upon my children, hating everything it stands for and believes in, being treated appallingly by it (if H&M are to be believed, I'm not so sure their version is quite as they portray it to be), making a big announcement about stepping away from it - and then kind of not really stepping away from it, monetising it, and wanting my children to continue having the option of that rank as they become adults. I'd take a more 'get the hell away from me and my family' approach.

There’s a photo of them arriving at the awards ceremony in NY where they are due to pick up an award for exposing ‘institutional racism within the RF’. They arrived by private jet. Sometimes I really wonder if I’m living in a parallel universe. I’m sure they are.

What exactly have they exposed? I can’t recall anything beyond something someone was supposed to have said about the colour of their children’s skin - but they seemed unsure of when this conversation took place. There might have been more though.

Exactly. Apparently though it merits an award.

disgustng that award all base don hearsay nothing proven

Back to the Coronation: I thought all the royal dukes and then the rest of the peerage had to swear an oath of loyalty to the new monarch. How can Harry possibly do this credibly. ?

he may not feel able to, of course , and so bow out

Well he can't can he, I mean if it were.me I wouldn't be able to show my face ever again.

I can see them not coming and HRH being stripped officially but the Duke title staying. They took away Diana's HRH didn't they but she could still title herself as she was always going to be the mother of a king.

I do think when it comes to private financial matters, I think the Netflix documentary will be the final nail in the coffin for any private inheritance awarded to them. They will have probably inherited something from the late queen's will, but I think that will be their last windfall from the RF.

As much as I love a good gossip, as a parent it must be hard to have your child turn on you and to do so on a massive global public scale must be unimaginably hurtful. I'm not saying Charles was the best dad on earth, but Harry still owes much of his position and influence to his family.

I can see them not coming and HRH being stripped officially but the Duke title staying. They took away Diana's HRH didn't they but she could still title herself as she was always going to be the mother of a king.

Her title was agreed with her when they divorced. Her position as William’s mother didn’t automatically entitle her to any title.

Harry 'thought he was on date night', ' we don't get out much, having young kids at home'.at the awards last night.
🙄🙄

Agree re William. You can see Charles has that sense of duty in him even if he is rather awkward at times. William has the same level of immaturity and entitlement as his brother but it is expressed in a different way. And being the heir helps to hide it all.

No shit Sherlock 🙄 I just said “I read” and put it out for consideration. Ididn’t say it was the gospel truth. 😂
