So I see there is a brand-new Duke and Duchess of Sussex website. Very glossy.

But the self-aggrandising! I just read Meghan’s bio and - cringe - it was the worst of LinkedIn. Sometimes less is more!

If I was advising them I’d tell them to shut down the website, move back to Britain, live quietly in Sussex and go to local school sports days and nativity plays and just Wait It Out.

But they won’t do that because they are grandiose, petulant, lazy and attention seeking and so so so entitled.

Trying to put themselves into a position where taking away their royal titles would be very obviously 'devastating' (emotionally and to their means of earning a living) and would make them VICTIMS again if anyone tried it.

See they cant win, if there titles aren't taken away people complain, if they tskr it away people complain.

Fuck off we don't want them here 😂

They could win. They could shut up, stop claiming royal connection (to make money) after they chose to walk away, and do some real work. That would be a win.

It's probably a good time to launch it, with Charles being out of commission and others distracted.
Love the Coat of Arms with the crown on top. That really is the cherry on the icing.

Lol - Prince Harry - "environmental campaigner". Yup, that environmental campaigner that took two transatlantic flights in 24 hours to spend 10 minutes with his father!

mrsmingleton · 13/02/2024 08:46

Why is it so small - is it saying well we are Royal but we don't like to make too much of it?😉 Oh that has come up bigger than it does on the website.

Here is what I mean...

No one is disputing Harry is royal or Charles son. No one wants to remove that, the stripping of titles desire is different and is for two reasons, to stop them monetising the fact harry is royal for their own personal gain, and secondly due to the damage they have attempted to inflict on the royal family.

no one rebrands something successful. All this tells us is archewell has no traction and has failed. Sadly for them they have felt they now need to move back to monetising the royal connections, this new website Sussex .com is all but Sussex royal . They simply dropped the royal part.its back to square one. What they planned when they left and the queen said no to.

i also think this is going to be one of their most spectacular own goals. They are now trying to position themselves as royals for hire as they have failed on the commercial front very spectacularly, so clearly trying to see if being royal can get them more gigs.

What a nasty post . Are you always so unpleasant ?

Getthethrowonthesofa · 13/02/2024 08:56

It also shows just how bad things are now. They know full well the royals put a stop to them monetising the Sussex royal brand for personal gain. So they went down the archewell route. Now 5 years later they are pretty much doing it anyway. The website is the Sussex royal one refreshed. They will be banking on the royals not stopping it. But they will know how horrified the royal family will be by this refreshed attempt at commercialising their titles for personal gain.

With no reference to the RF connection it is in the realms of these people who roam the globe claiming they are the Grand Duke twice removed of Sporkavia or the Grand Duchess Anustasia of Upper Lower Blepheroplasty, Lower Sex Coburg.

😀

Maybe Harry was inspired by his chance encounter with 'Prince Backpfeifengesicht of Umbergas' or whatever his name is.

Mylovelygreendress · 13/02/2024 09:04

I am not a Constitutional expert but I am surprised they are allowed to use their coat of arms ? Wasn’t part of the Sandringham agreement that they didn’t monetise their titles ?
Poor Charles . Dealing with his cancer ,his daughter - in- law’s illness and now H and M do this ! It is so distasteful also so desperate.

Hogglehedge · 13/02/2024 09:07

How embarrassing and narcissistic

According to Twitter, the 45 min meeting involved King Charles begging H&M to come back into the Royal fold and has finally agreed to the half in/half out proposal from 2020.

Also according to X, their new rebranding is in response to Earthshot showing an extremely healthy and successful financial position with very generous donations.

mrsmingleton · 13/02/2024 09:11

@Getthethrowonthesofa tbh I don't think anyone would be surprised by anything these two do now.

Apparently it is Meghan's Coat of Arms, it's not their family one and it's not Harry's, I don't know how true that is as I don't know anything about personal Coat of Arms, but I read it on 'X'. 😏

I think they are allowed to use it as such, as in it wasn’t specifically banned, it was royal and hrh that was a specific no. I guess they didn’t think they’d use the coat of arms if they couldn’t use the rest. But I think they are allowed to use their personal coats of arms as harry is the som of a monarch.

its fucking necky though and smacks of desperation.

Maireas · 13/02/2024 09:21

Personal Coat of Arms - if proof were needed about how vital being royal is to them.

Mylovelygreendress · 13/02/2024 09:24

@themessygarden and @Getthethrowonthesofa thanks for explaining. I am just a bit gobsmacked that they are so desperately hanging on to their Rotal connections given how utterly miserable they were during Meghan’s blink-and-you-miss-it time as a working Royal and Harry’s years of Hell as the spare .

Lockupyourbiscuits · 13/02/2024 09:26

This is going to be an ongoing problem going forward with how the Royal Family develops

They have relied on the second in line to take their role and agree to the terms
This just shows that it can’t be guaranteed and any of Williams children could also chose to swan off and create a competitive Royal Court abroad

The seed was sown by Diana
Harry and Meghan have taken their titles and are trying to set up court in America with all the trimmings and there is nothing to stop them

Maybe it isn’t a problem if they just toed the line and stopped trying to damage the monarchy and in turn the U.K. reputation is soiled

I think ultimately they will pretty much get what they want and Charles will be blackmailed into supporting them

The role of the future monarch’s siblings needs to be thought out more carefully in future

MorningSunshineSparkles · 13/02/2024 09:28

Why are they still using royal titles if they no longer wish to be part of the royal family? Surely you give it all up when you leave? Hopefully William won’t be long in stripping them of their titles when he ascends.

Mylovelygreendress · 13/02/2024 09:29

@Lockupyourbiscuits Charles may well end up supporting them as he loves his son however he loves his wife and am sure was deeply hurt and angry about the stuff Harry said about her . As for William , I suspect he will cut him off completely when he ascends the throne.
