[Misc] The Duke and Duchess of Sussex QUIT the Royal family

[blue-shifted]

You can't just quit your family - oh wait a minute, that's what Meghan did to hers!

The way I see it, Harry didn’t sign up for this, if he wants to walk away, it’s his call. Maybe Meghan is being all Lady Macbeth about it. I don’t think any of us know what conversations have happened behind closed doors

 

[lawros left foot]

Joking aside, that was odd.

Not really, she had no pictures of Anne’s children, Edwards children or Andrews children. Or , pictures of Anne Edward or Andrew.
What she did have was the line of succession from her father to Williams family.

 

[RossyG]

but remember, William has (I think, I pay little attention) 4 kids.

Well, three he’s owned up to.

When we sat down for tea last night at the dinner table it was a very quiet sobering experience, Me and Mrs Crodo were literally agog at the breaking news. Mrs Crodo is fuming at Meghan, after welcoming her into our Royal Family she feels betrayed.

I love stuff like this. Reminds me that even though I think the monarchy is an outdated, needless institution I still love reading about them.

Another "this", that is the great irony of it all. We all (including me) profess not to give a shiny sh*t but we are also keen to pass comment!

I have no real axe to grind with these two. Harry seems alright, and his doris is an absolute SAWT. They've got one shot at happiness in this life together, and if they'd rather spend their lives away from a disfunctional bunch of divorcees, cheaters, morons, liars, horses, perverts and senile elderly racists who roll Range Rovers, then I can't overly blame them for that.

Good luck to em.

Yet again Easy nails my thoughts without me having to type them. I might hire you to be my PR person.

Joking aside, that was odd.

From what I gather, it's actually some tradition to have photos of line of succession? I remember reading somewhere that it's happened before.

Point of order.

It was a Land Rover Freelander.

Nail on head!

And, we'll have to, and should, pay for some security etc after they have left. They'll be under intense scrutiny and vulnerable because of who they they are, and they are who they are because we've invested in the idea of Royalty as a nation.

If the whole thing come tumbling down in the end, we'll have to elect a head of state. That's the only reason I'm pro-Queen/King at the moment. The last thing we need is to politicise the head of state. We can't even elect a government let alone a president. I like my head of state saying nothing.

My mistake.

Should probably have called it a Land Rover Freeloader.

Sending thoughts and prayers.

I hope Polly and Giles have been suitable supportive at this terribly difficult time

Another 'this' to this. Plus, anything that gets that prick Piers Morgan and his cronies FUMIN'! is de facto a good move.

Just a thought, this now means that Andrew moves up two places the list - it would only take Charles on a Sunday drive with the grandkids to have a bizarre (fatal) crash & the perv could be on the throne

I don't imagine, Harry choosing to remove himself from public royal duties, actually has any effect on his place in the line of succession, should any such a disaster occur

It does according to the beeb website

Ignore me, one report said Andrew moves up & another says nothing changes...I don’t really care so I’m going to get back in my box now!

The Sun claiming an "EXCLUSIVE PALACE BOMBSHELL", when every newspaper in the country has this story plastered all over their front covers



(be nice if there really was a palace bombshell though)

 

[Steve in Japan]

Having watched Newsnight last night, I am chastened to learn that Megan has bailed because the Brits are all racist ********. So that's cleared that up.

Royalty will evolve once William and Kate takeover, sadly we still have boring Charles to deal with. Once he is out the way I suspect it will be very different and quite rightly so.

Harry is only partially Royal given it is the worlds worst secret who his father is and he despises the press and clearly blames them for the death of his Mum. I don't blame him one bit for bailing out of this institution and now is as good time as ever with a new wife and kid.

I suspect we will have had the shortest ever Duke and Duchess of Sussex

Was Charles being Harry's dad a secret then ?

It's also a badly kept secret that the Hewitt affair started two years after he was born and that he has a look of 'Spencer' about him.

I guess some folk can't live without boring truths.

I agree with your reading of the situation, Harry (If not both of the boys) clearly has some mental health issues brought on by his mothers death and the way that she was hounded and potrayed by the press. As a lesser Royal anyway and having had no choice but to be born into the whole circus the Royal family is it is I dont blame him for wanting a different life especially as he and his wife are financially able to do it.

Currently I have admiration and respect for the Queen (Ex army so I took the Queens shilling) how I will feel about the Royal family once she passes away i'm not so sure. There is more to come out about Andrew i'm sure of that and tension with William for some reason maybe hes doing the right thing in getting away now.
