Predictable? Or will live to regret it?

It reminds me a bit of Edward and Wallis Simpson (though quite a few historians reckon Edward was a complete waster and no loss at all to the monarchy).

As if they wouldn't be without having to lift a finger even after severing all ties.

Does this mean they won't have anyone to put their pyjamas on for them now?

Tomorrow's UK papers are also reporting they didn't even notify the Queen in advance and that Charles and William are said to be 'furious'.

I think Meghan is out to make a statement.
She came in all guns blazing trying to make her mark and do things differently and be seen to be trying to modernise the monarchy.
I feel she really took inspiration from the likes of #Metoo and #Timesup and Greta Thurnburg to try and push this as a time for change and that she would be instrumental in that change.
I personally think the monarchy is very stuffy and a serious cost to the UK state but at the same time I see her as acting like the smart ass kid in the class who thinks they know more than the teacher.
If they're stepping aside from the monarchy, they need to give up their titles and their Windsor Castle home plus pay for their own security detail going forward.

I think she thought she could modernise it and when she couldn't, decided to cut their losses and leave. Apparently they have surprised the monarchy big time.

How come Kate Middleton didn't/doesn't get the same treatment as Meghan markle seemed to get ?

English and not American, white and not mixed race, not a divorcee, a "commoner" but still from a posh family, very quiet and lacking controversy/opinion (although I don't know of anything particularly opinionated about Meghan - the cheek to be a former career woman I suppose... or is it gold digger?)

Church on Tuesday

I could never understand some people's obsession with the Royal family in this country.

It's truly baffling.

Fuck knows. Various derpy reasons are given. She can’t win, no matter what she does.

PressRun

Supposedly Prince Charles has big plans to scale the whole thing back when he takes over. Lots of peripheral family members are going to have titles and duties taken away from them apart from those in immediate line to take the throne. The statement from the royal family seems shocked/pissed off, but maybe in the grand scheme of things, they weren't going to have much to do anyway once Charles gets the top job.
The issue with it seems to be that they want to keep their titles and make money off them? That's hardly allowed, is it?

He has a 30 million inheritance from Diana so mortgage no worries

I'd love to know how he'll get a mortgage with no job.

Yeah she looks white, but is mixed race so that's enough to rile the dopes.

She will doubtlessly go back to her acting career to earn money, and I think he can fly helicopters/do stuff that can pay an increase me for him.

It's getting messy with the statement from the Palace. Looks like they are proper annoyed.
Hope I'm around long enough for this episode on the crown ‚

I know the Royal's shouldn't be the one to judge but her messy family and their lack of ability to form a fake bond didn't help either.

I’d say because people felt like she’d take away their prince.... and they were right.

Completely forgot that!
But I think being a divorcee has less to do with it than being an outsider. Many of the Royals have been divorced. Margaret, Anne, Andrew, Charles, Camilla.

Not the typical pale, inbred, horsey types the royals usually go for.

Leg End Reject

I'm guessing the public announcement was a way of ensuring they couldn't be pressurised to carry on as normal, at least until the queen dies.

For all the money and privilege it looks like a miserable, claustrophobic life.

It's all very Edward VIII & Wallis Simpson.

It's very different. Harry is not going to be king. Edward and Wallis lived in exile for decades and were hated by the Brits. Harry is universally loved. Funny, good looking army boy. So long as he keeps his nose clean wherever he moves to, he'll be fine, and still taken care of financially by the Royals.
