    He's not of the queen's lineage anyway.
    Hewett and all that.

    She can quit if she wants but how can he quit as a senior royal ? In the not to distant future his father will become king and then his brother and nephew.

    because he is not going to be king and they are!!
    because he can do whatever he wants!

    I don’t get this argument, the amount of tourism the royals bring into UK is massive. I would have thought they are well covering their costs.

    They can move to North America and after a couple of months they will just be another celebrity. If they move to Los Angeles it will be a couple of weeks. It's a no brainier co spidering the constant abuse from the British Tabloid "media".

    But not him. He’s now too far down the line to ever have a chance at being King.

    They’re doing the right thing. William and Kate are the future.

    Can't listen to them since they gave the climate change lecture after stepping out of private jet.

    He’s dead right, now he can go and live his own life.

    It’ll be interesting if Andrew now follows suit, he’s even further down the pecking order than Harry and both Charles and William are in favour of a trimmed down royal family.

    He looks way more like Prince Philip than he does James Hewitt.

    I have to agree with you there. He’s very like the young Prince Philip.

    Any suspicion that maybe this was a mutual agreement between the royal family and themselves? Recently the point was raised that since Meghan is a US citizen there are tax implications...

    He probably found out the Saxe-Goethe-Coburg's murdered his mother.

    Good for them - the press never really gave Megan a chance and I'd say Harry's real calling is charitable work anyway. It's not like he'll ever sit on the throne.

    I hope they're very happy in their new life away from the royal cesspit.

    I know it's kind of funny to suggest that he's no relation to the English Queen, but apart from the red hair (something he shares with a number of Diana Spencer's relatives), he looks nothing like Hewitt.

    The tourists see their palaces, from a distance, pretty sure they don't get to have a chat with queenie or anyone else.

    The Palace of Versailles has coped quite well without an actual living royal using it for quite some time.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    'Financially independent' - will be interesting to see how that works out, perhaps all those private jet holidays can be paid for by signing up to an ad agency to sell cola or shampoo.
    The uk taxpayers will still have to fork out the £0.6m annual security costs regardless, and so likely all those flights back and forth.
    Unless it's remote Canada the press hounds will still be looking for regular photos and interviews.

    Best idea would be to head off to some remote island e.g. off Scotland and start a low-cost, green, organic, self-sufficient (solar panels/wind) farming lifestlye (with just the odd weekly podcast/sponsored tweet).

    He's punching way above his weight there. She's an attractive, successful woman and he's just a former soldier.

    I presume they are going to trade on the royal titles to earn a living in the US. They definitely wont just be "another celebrity" and probably don't want to be. The US will lap up the royal connection, unlike the UK and even the royal family themselves who seem to be sick of their behaviour of going against royal tradition, snubbing functions, trying to "modernise" the monarchy etc. (Not that theres anything particularly wrong with that to regular people but to fans of the family and the institution itself there clearly is)

    I await their appearances on Oprah etc and of course, they will still need protection which presumably will be funded by the UK taxpayers.

    I didn't mean to quote that post.
    I meant she's getting the blame for them pulling back ties from the Royal Family.
