They can live anywhere they want to, but they chose LA, the paparazzi capital of the world? If they really want the privacy they insist they do, does that make any sense?

No one wants to acknowledge this Jet or to admit that they lied about their reasons for leaving the UK, if they had been upfront to begin with it might have been a different story

[Nicky91]

if someone would fly a drone and look whatever Andrew is up to, or what secrets he's hiding, then that would put surveillance to good usage i guess

In the Times it's revealed that poor wills and Kate were at breaking point with markle and Harry due to their despicable actions in march and couldn't bear to even talk to them. Now we all know how mild mannered William is

I think it tells us all we need know, devastating

[Beso]

Poor kid having those pair as parents.

I like them both.
I mean they never will have any impact on my life.

So I can't get worked up about them really.
I am a Royalist, I'd hate to not have a Monarch in place.

Meghan and Kate are different people.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Plus Harry was further down the being in line to the throne too, as William and Kate had their children.

My disappointment was Harry seeming to lose his sense of duty to the family who gave him all his opportunities.
To leave his Grandparents in their 90s.
Then leaving his Father in his 70s and Brother with his family having to take on more and more duties.

On the other side, Harry now has his own family, and it's clear as day he adores Meghan.
I think most people in marriages want to make each other happy and secure.
Now with their own child, they made a surprising choice to step back.
Which is their right to make.

On this issue however.
In reality, I personally doubt, just my view, anyone with a child, would welcome in their own private home area, a drone flying over to try to gain photographs of said child, likely for personal gain.
All parent's have a right to privacy for them and their children.
Their own home should certainly provide that setting for them, no matter where that home is.

Had this been in a public park, fair enough.

The venom directed at Meghan is concerning to read.
No one on here knows her or Harry personally.

No matter her qualities or faults, nor Harry's for that matter.
This wanting privacy for their baby in their own home setting.
Then I find that commendable as to any parents.
No matter who they may be.

It is them.both who have complained about this drone.
It isn't just Meghan.
I also do not believe Harry would do or be anywhere he wasn't happy doing so.

I really believe any parent, responsible parent in my view, would he very concerned at for whatever reason, a drone being flown over their home to photograph a baby.
Commercial, personal or unsavoury reason doesn't matter to me anyway.
To me it's simply wrong, inappropriate and should be unacceptable.

How do you know the drone was taking pictures of them and not just a drone?


(If this has been ascertained then I apologize but it seems rather crucial to this thread/story?)

I don't, it seems to be the concensus here that was the reason.

I can't see much point in sending a drone over anyone's house and garden to not gather some information and then to be able to substantiate anything that was seen without pictures

Taking pictures or not, to fly over a private garden to gather information on the adults or child..
Doesn't alter my view, it should be wrong, inappropriate and unacceptable.

However, I'd lay bets it was to get pictures of the baby.
For whatever reasons but as has been extensively said on here to be sold on.

I would have thought, that both Prince Harry and Meghan with their lawyers would have strong grounds of the drone attempting to be a way to gather images of their baby however.
Before putting in a legal challenge to the issue

This was an item on the main news, so not sure why some people are so annoyed that it was posted on here? If they announce they are going to sue, we can discuss it, it's not a secret

I love that picture of them, so much joy and obvious devotion to one another

It is a great picture Liam.

They adore each other, that's clear to see to anyone.

But be honest it didn’t work for you, so rather than blaming the whole country for your woes just acknowledge you made a mistake and moved back where you feel more comfortable

Whatever one’s views on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the extracts we publish today from a new book that details their rift with the royal family make for uncomfortable reading. Few will have been unmoved by the wedding of the royal couple two years ago. The country had watched Harry mature after the early loss of his mother into an apparently upstanding young man who had served on the front line in the armed services and brought passion to his charitable causes. His marriage to Meghan, a glamorous American actress of mixed-race heritage, was overwhelmingly welcomed and seemed likely to promise a new era of modernity for the monarchy. That those early hopes should have given way to the bitter divisions and recriminations detailed in Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the making of a royal family is first and foremost a source of sadness.

Two things stand out from the extracts. The first is that the couple’s ambitions were always going to be hard to reconcile with the responsibilities of the monarchy. The book talks of Harry and Meghan’s popularity “propelling the monarchy to new heights around the world” and the couple’s frustration that the “men in grey suits” sometimes forced them to “take a back seat” to other family members. This was apparently particularly galling when an analysis of the online popularity of the Cambridges and Sussexes showed that Harry and Meghan accounted for 83 per cent of the world’s interest in the two couples. Yet this obsession with the power of their own celebrity shows a striking lack of awareness of what Britain expects of its royals. The monarchy is not a brand that requires global promotion but a core part of the constitution whose value lies in its stability. That requires the restraint of its members.

What also stands out is the impetuous way that Harry and Meghan handled their exit. Whatever their frustrations, their attempt to bounce the Queen into yielding to their demands for half-in-half-out royal status by publishing their plans on their Sussex Royal website without consultation was deeply discourteous. The book notes that the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were “devastated” by the couple’s behaviour, which also appears to have deepened the rift with the Cambridges. Besides, Harry and Meghan had not anticipated any of the complexities that arose from their demand to be allowed to earn private money while remaining royals. The result has been a much deeper rupture than the Sussexes had contemplated. Or indeed might have been necessary had they approached the situation more judiciously.

The consequences for them and the monarchy are troubling. There is little doubt now that the psychodrama that followed Harry’s own mother’s rift with the royal family will extend into a new generation. Indeed it was a similar book by the journalist Andrew Morton in 1992, which lifted the lid on Princess Diana’s unhappiness at her treatment by the palace, that turned that split into what at times appeared to be an existential threat to the monarchy. This book, which similarly appears to have been written with co-operation from Harry and Meghan, can only deepen the rift. And with the couple now ensconced in a multi-millionaire rapper’s home in Los Angeles, determined to earn their living as global celebrities, they are certain to remain in the public eye. Indeed, further drama is assured as the couple pursue two ill-judged legal cases against the press.

The country is fortunate that the core institution of the monarchy looks robust enough to withstand these challenges. The Queen, Prince Charles and Prince William continue to do their duty and to conduct themselves with the dignity and restraint that the public expects. Nonetheless, the royals are diminished by this rift. It is hard not to look back to the hopes aroused by Meghan’s arrival and think what might have been.

wonder if the person behind this drone is that attention seeker Perez Hilton

i mean that creep is stalking literally every celeb he can find

The new book has been dubbed 'The Gospel according to Harry and Meghan'.
The authors 'talked extensively to their friends' and to the couple themselves. I'm sure her fans will love it.
