....it’s strange and ironic really that it’s expected and often admired even, for a Royal to ‘follow duty’ or not deviate from duty and ‘tradition’ in anything except small ways ..and yet, to be a society and country who praise and appreciate freedom so much for ourselves...anyway as Jordan posted and seeing all of those times in one clip etc...yeah, maybe he would always have walked away, whoever he had married...none of us ever know if our lives had taken another path...at least his decisions are his to make now and making decisions that you're happy to have made and those you think maybe you could have done differently etc through life are what mould you into who you are..personally, I don’t think that the Royal way as it were, is a very healthy way ...

Excellent post.

I really cannot understand people not understanding why these 2 have chosen to live their married life and future the way they wish to.


If I was married, and lined the idea of working or living somewhere, however my partner didn't.
I'm not going to force said partner to ONLY do my will.

I'm sure consideration will have been given to any working Royal Rome suggested to them.
However once their child was born.
Then as with other families, even working families, then priorities change.

What seemed appealing at one time, may not be the appropriately desired way to go now in that scenario.

I agree with all that say it, Prince Harry hasn't been content in the stricter Royal stuffiness of duties.
He has, and is right to have, a suspicion and dislike from his Mother's death, of particularly the press.

So he and his partner, as man and wife, have probably as most respectful to each other couples do, talked, reached compromise and decided the best way forward to them in their lives now.

What on earth is wrong with that.
I also still agree with those saying he would have moved away from the more stuffy Royal duties and working life, while not moved from the family.
No matter who he decided to marry.

The taxpayer has had funds squandered before on Royal Weddings.
Princess Anne's, Prince Charles and Diana's, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson of just the Queen's children..
Only Prince Edward's first marriage is intact of her children..

The nitpicking is ridiculous.

I wouldn't be however, I'd say a decent person, or good husband, if for duty to family, immaterial of who my family were, I were to just force the person I claimed to love to do all that family wanted, and live and work where that family demanded, against said partner's hopes and wishes too.

No way would that be admirable in any shape or form.

If anyone really looks at Prince Harry and thinks he's not happy with this decision they've felt necessary for them.
Then they must need strong glasses or contact lens, because he's not looked so relaxed and happier than he is now.

Similarly for duty his Father played out a Royal duty role with Diana.
A very painful playing out to watch that was too.
Which ended acrimoniously and eventually in tragedy too.
However Prince Charles now too, looks relaxed and happier than he's looked before being with Camilla.

So once again,yes I think Prince Harry would have walked away from the Royal working set up.
No matter who he married

Not to disappear, not to be heard of no more, not to just exist and not live.
To find in reality the life seemed best for him, his wife and children to be.

Also if media approach them, if people are interested and want to hear from them and still see them.
Then what is wrong with doing that.
As long as they can control it more in their way, rather than forced to accept.

No one who doesn't like them, has to read, watch, hear anything about them.
Unless those who don't like them want to.
Which is rather odd to me.

As an example of people I don't like as celebrities of famous, well I just rarely and more likely never, watch them, listen to them or read anything about them.
What's the point if I don't like them and they aren't going to impact on my life.

I'd rather spend my time and energy on living my life and not other people's.
