As for settling in Canada, I’d bet a high stake that they have no intentions of staying there. They said they were going to divide their time between Canada and the UK - which was misleading bull**** as they have laid off all 15 of their UK staff and closed their Buck Palace office. They have a few engagements still to fulfil in the UK until sometime in March and then that’s it.
No, they will be off to LA celebrity land before too long, which I suspect has been Meghan’s plan for quite a while…...if not all along. They will still be able to make millions with the help of their celebrity (ahem) ‘friends’ and their royal family connection but how long will that last in that fickle, shallow world? A few years? That is her kind of life, but it isn’t Harry’s. He has given up so much. I wonder how he is going to fare? He'll get gigs talking about his mental health problems (they are already in talks with the bankers Goldman Sachs for those) until he really goes mental. Awful idea. Poor guy. |

Actually Megan Markle is a demon from the quantum abyss where anything can be one, other, both or neither so I think you'll find that the queen both did and didn't know, thanks to that Markle succubus and her paradoxical gaslightling . We should have known all along that she was the sort of creature who would think nothing of defying the laws of spacetime to upset arr Liz.

I await accusations of suppositions and untruths as per usual even though most of what I post turns out to be true... I have good sources. No need to thank me...
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-new...idden-21556151 Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, the Duchess and Duke of Sussex, have released a bombshell new website statement and a royal expert claims there's an "odd" reference to minor royals such as Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have further raised tensions with the Queen after being forced to abandon plans to market themselves as “Royal”. In a move described as *“extraordinary” and “petulant”, the couple published complaints on their Sussex Royal website, which will have to be redesigned within weeks. They questioned the power of the Queen and the Government, saying there is no legal case to stop them trading on the royal name abroad. The statement read: “While there isn’t any jurisdiction by The Monarchy or Cabinet Office over the use of the word ‘Royal’ overseas, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex do not intend to use ‘Sussex Royal’ or any iteration of the word ‘Royal’ in any territory (either within the UK or otherwise) when the transition occurs in Spring 2020.” The couple suggested they were being treated unfairly after the Queen, Prince Charles and Prince William agreed to allow them to leave The Firm. As big banks and corporations queue up to work with them, they have been told to prove they can make it work while not profiting off the royal brand. In what is also being seen as a “highly inflammatory” move, Harry and Meghan *insisted they will *continue to receive taxpayer-funded security despite no deal being reached between the UK and Canada, where they are currently living with son Archie. The statement read: “While there is precedent for other titled members of the Royal Family to seek employment outside of the *institution, for The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, a 12-month *review period has been put in place.” A royal source said: “It’s pretty clear they are referencing minor royals such as Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, which is an odd association to make for two people whose associates were once claiming they had single-*handedly modernised the monarchy.” On security, they suggested they would demand round-the-clock protection paid for by the public, owing to, “The Duke’s public profile by virtue of being born into The Royal Family, his military *service, the Duchess’ own independent profile, and the shared threat”. A royal source said: “We’re witnessing a quite extraordinary turn of events. “The British people will not stand for two *multi-millionaires demanding taxpayer funds after abandoning the country they should be serving. “The latest series of comments published on the Sussexes’ website comes across as *extremely petulant and has caused a great deal of alarm inside the palace. “This is further evidence of Harry and Meghan further ostracising *themselves from the family rather than building bridges.” Harry and Meghan defied the Queen on January 8 by releasing a statement on Instagram announcing they were to “step back” as senior members of the royal family. They intended to move to North America and trade on their royal *connections to make money in the corporate world, while setting up a charitable vehicle and *carrying out small roles for the Queen – but they were told there could be no “halfway house”. The couple have spent thousands trademarking Sussex Royal items and marketing their website and Instagram page. It is thought that Harry and Meghan raked in Ł775,000 for attending a JP Morgan summit in Florida earlier this month. Reports also claim they could score a book deal in excess of the Ł49million Barack and Michelle Obama received. They will leave their royal roles on March 31 and it is understood they have agreed to pay back the Ł2.4million of taxpayer funds used to renovate their Frogmore Cottage home. |

1) People are so obsessed with it and spaff so much hyperbole and nonsense about it that it's really sort of fascinating and worrying BUT 2) I inherently don't give a **** about the royal family, their dinner table dramas or what they're up to in any sense. Any of them. Including the Queen. Like I literally hold her in no different regard to any random old lady. So it all starts getting a bit... Daft... |

For my part, the Royal Family fascinate me, going way back to Alfred the Great and every king and queen since. You would recoil in horror at the content of my bookshelves. My poor wife has no room for her Marion Keyes and Cathy Kelly at all. I try not to spaff nonsense - I like facts and the opinions of those who have reported on the royals for years and proved their credentials combined with my own observations. The Queen a random old lady - I nearly needed Queen Victoria's smelling salts when I read that. |

Meghan and Harry have basically been black listed by the queen and are losing all credibility.
They are trying to sell themselves as a couple that will change the lifes of others with this so called charity foundation oh wait now it’s not a foundation they are just going to add to other charities. An ex actress who starred in a tv series not Hollywood blockbusters and Harry who left one of the finest schools in the world with a b in art and a d in geography. They only got in contact with a lister celebrities by inviting them to their wedding. We want to save the planet while taking private jets We want our privacy while jumping up on stage and telling strangers his life story. Please continue to defend this pair of clowns because it gives me great amusement and even more so as you keep throwing in the word hate desperate to try and make those who see through meg and Harry ‘s bollox as haters. |

....well, I wish them both..(...and Archie...)...well in their future.....
If they ‘fail’...then they fail, but they will have failed being masters of their own destinies and owners of their own lives and decisions...as Frank would have said, they’re doing it their way..... |

I have no axe to grind over Meghan and Harry. I liked her in Suits, and I thought Harry seemed like a nice enough chap. I'm not a fan of royalty at all. I was disgusted by the way the queen behaved when Diana died, however, I think Megan and Harry have shown a distinct lack of responsibility and class during this saga. Nothing is ever their fault, they take no responsibility whatsoever for the position they find themselves in. For that, they get zero respect from me.

For two who want privacy they have alot to say on instagram, its’s difficult to believe at times that these two are heading for 40 as they appear quite petulant at times, I wish they would fade into obscurity and only pop up now and again like most of the other Royals particularly the minor ones

They are as rediculas as you saying if they cured cancer or ended world poverty. That ain’t going to happen unless Harry can find a cure using his b in art. They are trying to feather their own nest on the back of charity. If you want the precious family time take a step back and spend it as a family in the privacy of your own home and play with your little boy not keep leaving him with yet another nanny. It’s look at us ain’t we great helping poor people but first we got to chat bollox to the world bankers for a few pound for ourselves. |

More trouble likely for royal family before official exit of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
The official statement of Harry and Meghan about the queen didn't go down well with royal experts who criticised them for being childish. https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/more-troub...markle-1675899 Extract Quote:
I am worried for Harry, I've always liked him, but its very disappointing how he has let his wife and her advisors do things the way they have, creating such a mess and turning his relationship with his family sour. I can't believe he is the instigator in how it was all handled. It's not him, or at least the man he was. Last edited by jet; 23-02-2020 at 07:05 PM. |

Reactions of respected people who have known the royals for many years.
Ingrid Seward, editor in chief of Majesty Magazine: “It appears to be a gratuitous and ungracious swipe at the Queen.” Angela Levin, Harry’s official Biographer: I fear she has put a sliver of ice in Harry’s heart. Tom Bower, Charles’s Biographer: Their comments smack of spiteful fury. I fear it will get worse. Dickie Arbiter, former spokesman for the Queen: Harry knows the rules. Meghan knows the rules. It’s been made very clear to them. Penny Junor, Royal Biographer and friend of Prince Charles: “They didn’t get what they wanted. They are clearly not happy and there is a hint of suppressed rage. Angela Levin, Harry’s Biographer: Harry and Meghan are almost stumbling in their rush to join a world of rich, self - centred celebrities. Penny Junor, Royal Biographer and friend of Prince Charles: I’m worried about Prince Harry….I fear something is seriously amiss and he’s on a trajectory of self destruction. Some numbty’s think everything they say is lies and they are saying these things to destroy Harry and Meghan. Random people who don’t have a clue think they know better and the Sussexes can do no wrong. It’s quite hilarious. Last edited by jet; 24-02-2020 at 12:01 AM. |
