I agree with Niamh. It's a big change for the royals and that's going to irritate some of the Old Guard. First William marries a commoner, a very rich one but a commoner none the less, and then Harry brings home a mixed race actress! Those boys have done a great job of dragging the monarchy into the 21st Century. And I feel kind of protective of William and Harry. My Mum says she does too. She said she remembers those boys walking behind their mothers coffin and when she saw the handwritten note on the coffin that said "Mummy", she and so many women became silent and distant foster mothers. She's a sentimental old soul, my Mum.

I hear you mum there. I remember that too and feel more empathy towards William and Harry than other members of their family, not being a royalist and all.

Don't get me started, I'll rant about the home office until the end of time!

Thats how I feel, I remember them both being born and Dianas funeral broke my heart watching them both, and its like a Mums instinct that Meghan is just not right for Harry

Indeed. The Royals dragged into the 21st century..who would have thought it

I do wonder about the conversations behind closed doors with the Princes and the Queen. I kept trying to imagine it all when Harry was pictured playing strip billiards. Getting a bollocking of granny

So many people criticize Megan, for seemingly no reason.
