No William doesn't have that luxury, unlike Harry and Meghan, and they are using it, leaving William and Kate with extra responsibilities and work that the Sussex's are resigning from. They have handed in their notice in the business, got their p45's, taken off to be rivals in their new celeb business ventures and now the other royals will have to replace their roles by working harder. They can't advertise for a new prince and duchess. |

You can be a compassionate humanitarian, like Diana, without being any of those things. It's the way the PC, woke, virtue signalling brigade are so in your face and virtuous that is so off putting and is creating the opposite effect to whatever it is they think they are achieving. Diana was never preachy.

...the vibe of the media headlines since they announced their plans, must only confirm to them more and more that they’re doing the right thing...

From dating to to marrying to getting pregnant to falling out with palace the bust up with her father, not keeping with tradition and showing the baby off to the world not spending Christmas with his family not only stepping away from the royal family but taking a grand child and great grand to another country when Harry’s grandad is now virtually bed ridden. Its been in the news because it is news. Last edited by thesheriff443; 20-01-2020 at 06:04 AM. |

...of course, media headline slants and stories are there to grab and that grabbing is something that Harry wants no part of because he understands so clearly, the dangers of it...as he has said...
“My mom taught me a set of values of which I will always try and uphold despite our role and job. I will always protect my family, I have a family to protect. Everything she went through is incredibly real every single day and that’s not me being paranoid, that’s me not wanting a repeat of the past. If anybody else knew what I knew, be it a father or husband, you should probably do what I’m doing as well.” ...and I would think that every day just confirms to him and Meghan that they’ve made the right decision for themselves and their son... |

Again you blame Meghan for a decision Harry has made... He is the royal here not her.

...just to add to your media stories, Arista...
Prince Harry has revealed he and Meghan felt they had "no other option" but to leave the Royal Family behind during a speech for his Sentebale charity. The Duke of Sussex was speaking to supporters of the organisation at a dinner in London on Sunday, a day after Buckingham Palace issued a statement confirming the terms of the Sussexes' decision to step back as senior royals. Harry told those gathered: "It brings me great sadness that it has come to this. The decision that I have made for my wife and I to step back is not one I made lightly. "It was so many months of talks after so many years of challenges. "And I know I haven't always gotten it right, but as far as this goes, there really was no other option. "What I want to make clear is we're not walking away, and we certainly aren't walking away from you. "Our hope was to continue serving the Queen, the commonwealth, and my military associations, but without public funding. Unfortunately, that wasn't possible. "I've accepted this, knowing that it doesn't change who I am or how committed I am." Harry added that he hopes "that helps you understand what it had come to, that I would step my family back from all I have ever known, to take a step forward into what I hope can be a more peaceful life". He continued: "I was born into this life, and it is a great honour to serve my country and the Queen." Harry, who set up the charity to honour the legacy of his mother's work in supporting those with HIV and AIDS, was speaking while Meghan is in Canada with their son Archie. He told those gathered: "When I lost my mum 23 years ago, you took me under your wing. You've looked out for me for so long, but the media is a powerful force, and my hope is one day our collective support for each other can be more powerful because this is so much bigger than just us. "It has been our privilege to serve you, and we will continue to lead a life of service. "It has also been a privilege to meet so many of you, and to feel your excitement for our son Archie, who saw snow for the first time the other day and thought it was bloody brilliant! "I will always have the utmost respect for my grandmother, my commander in chief, and I am incredibly grateful to her and the rest of my family, for the support they have shown Meghan and I over the last few months. "I will continue to be the same man who holds his country dear and dedicates his life to supporting the causes, charities and military communities that are so important to me. "Together, you have given me an education about living. And this role has taught me more about what is right and just than I could have ever imagined. We are taking a leap of faith - thank you for giving me the courage to take this next step." ...full story... https://uk.yahoo.com/news/prince-har...220900357.html |

There was the silly secrecy around the baby's birth and christening; standing in poverty stricken Africa and whining about how awful their priveleged life is; the 'sensational' way they went about breaking the news of their leaving without informing the Queen, and much more besides like Meghan getting the riff raff cleared from her seating area at Wimbledon. If you don't want attention, you don't do things that will guarantee even more press interest and criticism. Last edited by jet; 20-01-2020 at 07:14 AM. |

A more cynical person might say this was all planned just for that exact purpose............ how is this story over shadowing the fact that one of the royals is probably a pedophile/sexual offender? Crazy world we live in
