The outpouring of criticism about them both has been enthralling & entertaining, but I really think it's time to just leave them alone. Let them get on with their lives and sink into relative obscurity, like Edward and Wallis Simpson. What do you think?

I think you've started this thread so that people will pile on. Again.

No, not at all. That's why I didn't post on AIBU.

Yeah this public thread will totally help with leaving them alone 👍

I don't think they want to live in relative obscurity though.

I'm genuinely getting a bit concerned about their mental health. Remember Caroline Flack.
I'm really not shit-stirring.

This is the terrible irony of it all. I can't really think of what they could do to earn a living out in America. Perhaps they should settle elsewhere and start again, in private.

I was surprised this week after changing channel from LBC to avoid the monotony and patronizing of James O’Brien, to find that Talk Radio are still banging on about them.
I ended up listening to 70’s disco, a vast improvement over either station.

People will happily leave them alone when they stop begging for publicity.

ThunderThighs123 · 09/08/2026 11:01

I must say that my respect for the other royals has increased. William & Kate will be a wonderful king and queen.

I wasn't bad mouthing them, they seem to announce parts of their lives themselves.

People will leave them alone when they stop making a show of themselves, their actions make them a target for mockery.

Ooh, what part of their lives have they "announced" recently then?

Just say you don't like them. It's fine. You don't need to try and find justification for how you feel about two people you don't know. 😊

Care to elaborate??
I've always seen myself as anti-royal, but I've slowly begun to appreciate the existence of the royals, especially during these politically volatile times. It's like King Charles' recent American speech, which gave us the long view, rising above short-termism and political in-fighting.
