King Charles orders Harry and Meghan to be treated like ordinary citizens

[Viviennemary]

Apparently an order has gone out from King Charles saying that Harry and Meghan are to be treated like ordinary citizens as they are not working members of the royal family. That's according to the DM so it must be right. The thought of those two being pleased at being ordinary is too much.

I wonder just how low they will keep their profile and if it's to do with them wishing to be involved in charities. I wouldn't be surprised if they try to set up their own mock royal court.

Whatcha doin here then, Bub?
Need somethin?

So what happens now? Are you cancelling your BRF charge card?

Oh have a day off, Charles! You should be glad anyone wants to ‘work’ for your dysfunctional family at all.

I think H&M may have been trying to lobby official or semi official bodies. We know that Harry has been harassing a succession of Home Secretaries about his sekurridee. Perhaps this is a way to preempt them trying to set up some sort of 'rival court'?

@BiteSizeByzantine how is she not the Queen?

Harry did, actually. Half in, ass out isn’t a role though.

Not them.

I love that on the RF board that there has to be an explanation of why someone is Queen.

Well, if Camilla isn’t Queen, who is?

I wasn’t particularly stoked about it in the beginning either. In over it now. But she’s doing a lovely job and it’s a strange time (and thread) to mention it.

Charles, Camilla & Anne will be gone soon.

Is it only William and Kate that ‘work’ now? Edward and Sophie I suppose, too (not sure what they do?). I mean, who else is there? Disgraced Andrew and Fergie, their questionable daughters…

It’s slim pickings.

What does “treating them like ordinary citizens” mean?

Why do you think H&M have returned to the UK?

Genuine question.

Why would you ask the Lord Chamberlain or me? Why do you even need to know the decision-making or thoughts of any other couple? The letter referenced a private office for HAM ....

I am no more fretting than you appear to be frothing here, I am sure they have thought of their children, but as with all else on this thread, it's a mere speculation.

There are many others I would far rather not fund than HAM, who have done far more harm than these two, yet these are the responsibility of the British taxpayer too?

I thought it was Charles illness but that aside I have no idea. They seemed to be happy in the USA and would have less hate there.

I don't think anyone can just decree that they are not going to behave in an entitled way - Harry was born into it, and Meagain is pretentious and pushy.

They don't look the type that would buy everyone drinks...

And Taylor Swift got the full security for a VERY limited amount of time - hours, rather than days. When there was a real threat.

H&M want it (at least) twice a day every day, not because of any real, material threat but because people are nasty about them on X.

Paranoia and entitlement.

I am no more fretting than you appear to be frothing here,

Classic! Are you sure I'm not spewing? Spoiler alert, I'm actually laughing!

There are many others I would far rather not fund than HAM, who have done far more harm than these two, yet these are the responsibility of the British taxpayer too?

If someone has held public office and as a result knows state secrets which could be compromised if that person were to be kidnapped, then yes, they are the responsibility of the British taxpayer.

The same does not apply to the aspiring influencer and her intellectually challenged layabout husband.

As I said before, I really don't think you understand how RAVEC work. At all.

You seem awfully invested.

I don't think it's glee and pleasure, more that they stated they wanted privacy and to step away from public life and have done everything opposite. It often feels like a full on pity party and I feel like saying to them, mate, just life your life and be happy, all the interviews and the book etc, has not brought him peace and honestly, deep in my soul I think his wife is being an untrained therapist and encouraging him to unload but she is doing it in the most financially fruitful way she can think of.

You can cross out 'invested' now!

Do Beatrice and eugenie get any royal protection? They use their titles and are non working royals?

No they don't. They used to, but their protection was removed several years ago.

For those who don’t remember, when KC got married, us gullible public were told that Camilla would NEVER be Queen and that when Charles became king she would be called the Princess Consort.

However the MiB played a blinder with the media and managed to change public opinion so that on the eve of her Platinum Jubilee, the Queen said she wanted Camilla to be known as Queen Consort when Charles became king.

When Charles became king her title was initially Queen Consort but over time the palace started calling her Queen Camilla. If you google Camilla having Covid, the BP press realise calls her Queen Consort Camilla.

I mean I would never call her Queen but she does have my respect for keeping her head down and mouth shut unlike her step son!!

I am actually laughing at your interpretations and transparent determination in your one upmanship, it's pathetic to read.

As before, I perfectly understand how RAVEC works, it's a shame so many on here and the numerous threads on this clearly do not. At all.

But then these are the same people referring to people they have never met in derogatory ways, this couple can't win, whatever they do (or not). FWIW I have no desire to see them being working royals any more than I want to purchase mass produced jam. That doesn't equate though to me wishing complete strangers, or their children ill.
