To have more respect for Harry if he moved to Canada?

[oakkiln]

I don’t really follow the Royal Family dramas and although I do feel (very slightly) sorry for Harry I do think he’s been very silly, is self indulgent, done a lot of hurtful things and needs a good kick up the backside.

But, with everything going on in America with Trump and his little pet Musk, wouldn’t it be a great signal to his followers/ the world if he packed up and moved to Canada to show support for them?

Not entirely sure the Canadians would want him, but it would hopefully send a strong message to the world and possibly give him a bit more respect in the public eye.

Well, after reading "Spare" I'm inclined to agree.

Well it's how I see it, if that's ok?

True. What on earth have either of them done that's "laudable"?

Oh don't be daft. They flounced because the late Queen wouldn't let them monetise their royal status from within the family.

How many articles has there been in the US? Other newspapers than the DM are carrying the same stories!

Zilch!

Nope. Their behaviour would provide a basis to criticise them. It's their behaviour and actions that define them and give rise to criticism!

If they shut up and disappeared nobody would be saying anything about them!

True. Plus Bryony Gordon of the DM is a friend of theirs, and she has been writing some very favourable copy about them.
It's all just one sided and one dimensional for some people.

Eh… you quoted me! You replied to my comment! I was just sitting here watching tv minding my business! 😂

I don't see why he should, he and his family are now settled where they are. They did live in Canada and loved it but when the royal protection was removed, the paps descended in droves and they no longer felt safe, they literally fled and I don't blame them.

And? Your point is?

What, you think that the UK taxpayer should pay for their protection when they quit the RF and went off to Canada? Really?

Mean and nasty RF!! Imagine the UK not paying for their security after they'd left... 🙄

How do you know they loved it? They buggered off to Canada for a prolonged break after she was in the RF for about 5 minutes, scheming and plotting their campaign against the RF!

And then they came crawling back and thought they could tell the late Queen what to do! Fortunately she saw them coming, wise lady.

IDGAF where Harry and his utterly ghastly wife live. I’m not interested and I don’t care. As long, that is, as I’m not paying to support the pair of useless virtue-signalling, self-publicising grifters.

@BemusedAmericanposted a very good article up thread that I had forgotten about.
the special Scotland Yard protection were treated like servants , sent out for coffee and food , all while costing the U.K. and Canadian taxpayers almost 15 million a year!!!
yes 15 million that we funded so they could get take out and coffee hand delivered!!!

Whaaaat?
£15m per year?! Yet all they do is whine.

And another thought, if you’re so paranoid then sending your very expensive armed security guards off to get coffee and takeout instead of guarding you seems a rather strange thing to do!
and absolutely no , they were not descended on in the remote area of Canada that they were staying at !
if they were why would Meghan have to phone back grid to come and photograph her endless pap walks?
surely she could just wave from a window or step outside her front door.
it’s infuriating that people still swallow all the rubbish from these two!

this is what security is for , not fetching coffee!

Yes, that's very true. William has gone to visit UK troops on the front line and talk to Ukrainian child refugees. This is at the behest of the UK government, for whom he works.
This kind of work needs security. Not watching cartoons, juggling in the garden or going on pointless vanity tours.

I've just seen Mark Carney on the news. He's got enough to worry about without some over privileged fool like Harry rock up and demand security.

They did live in Canada and loved it but when the royal protection was removed, the paps descended in droves

Wasn't it more like the paps being summoned in droves?

Funny how they were never papped in the UK, isn't it? Where, according to Harry, they're less safe? 🤔

They’ve always had protection. It was nothing to do with that. The Press just got wind of where they were.
