Harry & Meghan - what does the future hold?

I’m not really sure whether I can articulate this very well, but I’ll give it my best shot.

I think I support a route for Harry and Meghan to find a route back into the fold of the royal family, and find that odd and conflicting given everything that has happened.

I found the Oprah interview, the freedom flight, the Spare revelations awful. It felt really unpleasant the way Meghan came into the royal family, was active for so little time and then criticised it all so publicly and in a way that seemed a bit of a cultural miss (I’m not referring to the racism allegations here). I think that her American mindset perhaps did not fully understand the tacit consent nature of the royal family and the constitutional delicacies with which the titles are held. This is why it makes commercialisation and speaking at round tables about ‘power’, jarring.

However, despite ALL of this this, I see two human beings. One man who has grown up, without any consent, in a strange institution, in the glare of the spotless, completely traumatised by the death of his mother in horrendous circumstances when he was a young boy. A veteran too. Although not comparable to this, Meghan clearly has also had a dysfunctional childhood too. These latest revelations around her father mean that from the outside, none of us really know what’s going on.

I would like them all to just be happy. I feel like collectively it would be awesome as a nation if we could give the family the framework to sort it all out by just saying ‘look, H&M, you did some crazy shit, it was hugely damaging and cruel. But we understand that you guys have gone through crap too. Let’s look forward- try and sort it out’.

I’d honestly like to be done with the drama and for everyone to just get on. Does anyone else feel like this? I know it doesn’t really work like this in practice, I’m just trying to get across how I’m feeling.

Please also try and be a bit kind in your responses. I think this is coming from a place where everything just feels really negative/heavy in life at the moment and the need for some positivity,

Why are you bothered about people you don't know who aren't affecting your life 🤔 baffling 🙄

Oi - how do you know they’re not affecting my life?

I could be living next door to them for all you know!😂😂

And you come over as MUCH more bothered about defending silly people you don’t know personally..

I think it may be just a fun pastime for some to come on here and throw poorly punctuated darts. I picture them in real life as senior editors in top publishing houses. Having a laugh by confounding others with their SPAG.

Its not persoanlly attacking someone if you ask then what they would do or point out things they have said before. 🤷 if thats the case then you pointing out things h&m have said before would be classed as personally attacking them.

its strange that if you question what certain posters say, its oh poor (insert name) they are being attacked. yet when they do it to others themselves its fine......

Why are you bothered about people being bothered about people they do or don't know ? 😂😂😂😂

Does people (HAM) bothering people (RF) they do know bother you?

Im not defending them, im just giving my opinion which isn't the same as yours. I don't see things the way you do, I don't feel the need to judge her for posting Instagram posts, selling whatever items she does, what she called her business, how much it sells for, where she lives, what her house is like, what she wore, what events she does, if she cut off her Dad and so on. Those things have zero impact on my life, don't affect me and so what if she does those things, good for her.

KC needs to have the courage to remove their titles - it’s not that difficult.
i suspect he’ll leave the job for PW though which isn’t fair.
Once this latest debacle has settled down - and it will and before the next debacle starts (because there will no doubt be one) KC needs to act.

And others are giving their opinion which is different from yours. Like you it doesn't mean they are obsessed or entertain any impact at all. Why are you baffled ? Your posts don't make sense. Reverse your points and you will see that clearly 🤷‍♀️

Because they want us to contribute to their security?

Yes I absolutely agree that's the next step. I'd say William won't hesitate

Sorry about the lengthy post

TLDR: I don’t think Harry and Meghan are bad people, and I’d love to see reconciliation, but their constant clap backs, need to control the narrative and victim mentality create unnecessary drama. They need to stop competing with the Royal Family, take accountability and focus on their charitable work rather than their grievances. Sometimes the best PR is knowing when to say nothing and letting your actions speak for themselves.

All of your post reads as very balanced and thoughtful.

I wonder if William would be the most reluctant to agree to a diplomatic truce (understandably). If KC advocated for one, PW might agree?
I imagine Princess Catherine would support her husband's choice.

I hope Prince William will remove their titles once he's king if KC won't, he owes them nowt. They deserve nowt.
