I give up.
I can see it. She's an American who has always made her own money, and now Harry wants to. I think that's pretty cool, actually.

Never has to be, probably never would be. Unless something happens to William. Is Charles even in the line of succession any more? I lose all track.

Yes. First Chuckie, then William, then George (Will's kid); then if need be Princess Charlotte, then Prince Louis (Will's)

The ghetto slut has caused Harry to distance himself from his brother, grandma, dad, and family in general. The guy had it made until he got hooked up with a Hollywood liberal and now has gone to crap. He still will have money and prestige to open doors but?????

You know, I wish people would stop the ugly name-calling.

You wouldn't believe the smears and pictures I see about Melania.

I told Nightwolf months ago that if for some reason he was actually friends with Harry (on a different timeline they could have known each other they might have shared classes etc) I would suggest he advise Harry to have a lot think about things and if he truly loves his wife and kid(s) he might very well want to do exactly what he's doing.

He is no longer the "spare heir" there are about six people ahead inline (all of William's kids if something happened to George) his wife is perfectly capable of making a good living and he may not be the world's most shining light but he's popular and good with people (as well as being a trained military officer) there is a lot of work he could do.

Plus he would still have some inheritance from the Queen and later Charles, they won't hurt for money but they won't have to live in a birdcage.

Meghan has her faults but I'm not going to call her dirty names either, she's willful and simply not cut out to live in an ordered and completely scripted goldfish bowl.

Some actresses like Grace Kelly (who was older) can do this and make it works (though even she said at the end of her life, a lot of her talents had to be sacrificed and she didn't feel she lived up to her potential - choices, we make them and then live with them).

I personally think that Harry thought an actress would be perfect (he even said so before they met) because they were used to fame and being in the public spotlight, what he wasn't seeing was the extreme constrictions there are on the lives of royal women, especially English royalty.

As a "bloke" he got a lot of passes that Meghan (or Kate for that matter) don't get.

I think everyone may be way happier if they live in Canada, show up for royal birthday parties and Christmas and let Meghan be an actress and not spend their time opening shopping malls and pretending to enjoy the horse races in funny hats.

They will end up globetrotting, do-nothing-but-promote-their-own-personal-money-making-machine "charity" or "foundation" and spend the rest of their lives telling us how to live.
Sad and repulsive at the same time. And always in our faces.

It seems the prince is a "pussy whipped Prince" with no spine to stand up to a woman's whims, who wishes to return home from a situation/life style she was well aware of, and warned about before marrying Harry.

I strongly suspect that she could not face a future where she and Harry will have to "kow tow" to William and Kate when Wills eventually ascends to the throne, and they become numero uno as King and Queen in the future after Charles.

Harry had no chance of having the throne, as there are 5 people ahead of him at the moment (Charles, Wills, then the 3 children of Wills and Kate).

One wonders if Harry will have his Royal stipends cut off after deserting his Royal duties (NB: I'm just glad they didn't choose Australia as it was postulated at one stage of having Harry as Australia as our Governor General [The Queen's or King's representative in Australia!] - America, you are welcome to them - I see a divorce as likely within 5-10 years!)

I don't think Harry is "pussy whipped" exactly if you look at his behavior during most of his life when he WAS the spare heir, well he pretty much was Prince Happy go Lucky Harry; I still remember the NAZI uniform for the costume party and the naked picture during the orgy (but he was protecting his lady friend so he got points with me for that one).

Most of the time he was acting like that, his brother had yet to marry and had jobs like helicopter rescue piolet (he even did missions over Ireland, in the same place another crew crashed and died).

If anything Harry seems a lot more mature than he used to, though I'll grant both of them get on my nerves when they whine about their situation too much when both of them do have so much more in terms of wealth and position than most people can even dream of.

That doesn't make their lives perfect, but it does put things a bit in perspective.

That;s my opinion as well. They are going to set up a pay for play, Clinton-esque charity. That's where the real money is.

Well said. His days of usefullness to the crown as "the spare" are over and best he make a life that works for him rather than forever living in the shadow of his brother. The family's vast wealth and privilege may be beyond what most of us can even imagine but it does come at the price of no privacy and being constrained by protocols that dictate everything you say and do.

Instead of becoming a princess, this lady just made her husband give up being a prince. 'MURICA.

JUST IN: Harry and Meghan say they plan to step back as senior members of the British Royal family, and "carve out a progressive new role within this institution" while working "to become financially independent."

I don't know about that, in one of the interviews I saw being an official royal was mentally and spiritually draining. Maybe he wants to have a semi-normal life and not be hounded by the MSM like his mother.

Well, officially, and they tried to keep it on the down-low, it is more than likely that Charles is not his biological father. It was probably confirmed by a DNA test, paid for by the taxpayers.

None of what Sparkles imagined life would be like (some Hollyweirdo Disney movie/cartoon “princess thing” ) turned out to be what her life turned out to be, by marrying Harkle. She probably said, "get me out of here or I want a divorce " and he said, "yes, dear."
This is not ending well for low IQ Harry.

There is one other hint that may or may not have anything to do with this, especially now that it is coming out that they may have done this after only a "few" consultations with the Queen and Charles who had said this would be "difficult" and "take a lot of time" (which may be palace speak for, "when h..l freezes over."

There are some really strong rumors, one of which was actually reported as fact, that the Queen has tried to really micro-manage the parenting situation.

The public part was when Meaghan and Harry pretty much said that Archie would be raised vegan or vegetarian - now personally I think a vegan diet is terrible for children (good vegetarian is fine) but the Queen allowed a palace statement (or something like that) that it "would simply not be allowed to happen."

There are also rumors (rumors only I have no evidence beyond gossip stuff) that the Queen may have threatened custody issues over a "royal" child if the parents didn't do things her way.

Now if any of that is true beyond just the diet issue, well if it was me I might want to tell my husband that "great-granny can stick in her royal behind, she's not getting quasi-legal custody of my child and if you don't do something we may leave!"

I'd like to think this is just all gossip and dirty laundry stuff, but I can see how it could be real; again I'm not a real Meghan fan but not for many of the reasons usually expressed and I don't think she's that bad, just totally unsuited for life in a royal goldfish bowl (and yeah pun intended).
