I realise I may sound very naive for saying this but, as M found out about this between her marriage and the move abroad, why didn't H&M just settle down quietly in Canada and lead a quiet life? They would have had sufficient funds at that point to buy a naice property and lifestyle and would have been in a better position to deal with the TM story when it inevitably broke. They could have maintained a relationship with members of the RF and received help & support when needed
But no, they had to sell their story, start hair-brained money-making schemes, constantly appear in public even if the press coverage was negative and air their views on anything and everything. They have well and truly shot themselves in the foot and lost public sympathy. Even if the latest story hadn't happened, I don't believe they could ever lead the sort of lives they were expecting to when they returned to the UK
