    So many snide remarks on this thread it beggers belief. I don't think many people understand the impact childhood trauma has a grown adult.

    Money doesn't even come into it. I have some sympathy for him. Meghan on the other hand.....

    Oh come on, the weight of the world?!

    I know, it's bizarre. Does he not want to have anything to do with his family anymore. Certainly looks that way. I don't see how he could possibly ever have a good relationship with his brother William ever again, after Meghan has just dissed his wife in public, amounts other things.

    It's as if Harry thinks this will just all blow over after a while. No way, he, Harry, is totally out of the Royal Family for a very long time after this.

    I think thats what he wants.

    The passport and keys thing...do you think the wife of the president of the US is walking around like a normal citizen taking taxis and going on random flights

    I was waiting for her to start whinging that they took her Dunnes stores vouchers and loyalty card!

    He's a very wealthy man so why rely on others to pay for them?

    Good question. I'm not sure if you are looking at the interview, but they are actually insinuating that the Royals should have provided them with security even though they walked away from the Royal family.

    6. It goes Charles, William, George, Charlotte, Louis, Harry. If say Andrew's daughters and other members have protection then it would seem strange to me.

    That segment regarding the child's title and protection confused me though. I don't Meghan was given or gave a reason for the lack of both.

    I think it's Williams children that are unusual, it's the grandchildren of the monarch are princes/princesses.
    Andrews daughters are the queens grandchildren

    Didn't watch the interview, and tried to avoid the news all day as it was full of this nonsense. But just wondering:

    Why are people apparently so triggered by a couple they don't know, have never met and will never affect their lives in any way. Good Lord, people are even talking about the Duke and Duchess as if they know them - Please!

    And why with all the brouhaha about the Sussexes, is not one word uttered about the Duke of York who's alleged to have done FAR worse?

    Only sensible comment I've seen here. This thread is like the comments section of a tabloid, so much judgement and bile. Simple minded is a good description.

    I am. Neither of them are coming across well. If they wanted to stay part time royals, then why move to America?

    Their marriage is doomed. Harry made a huge mistake marrying this fake lady.

    I think you're insane, I never really took to her before but am seriously impressed. She is intelligent and fierce and exactly what this lad needs. He is quite passive and sensitive, she is not to be messed with.

    Yeah she's real fake what are you on about? To go into the Royal Family and say nothing about how abusive and controlling they are because you want to be a wee princess or duchess of whatever is way more fake. How many women would go into that situation and tell the royal family were taking off and not raising our child amongst yous? Only someone who has a very strong spirit.

    The only reason people on here seem to not like her is the American accent. Lots of Irish people just have a chip on their shoulder about Americans while they inexplicably love the 'devil they know' ie: the country that abused and humiliated them for decades on decades.

    And I'm guessing those who are supporting the Royal Side are the same ones who still support the Catholic church blindly despite their horrific abuse as well. The older generations in Ireland are totally brainwashed.

    Harry and Meghan seem lovely and warm and the Royal Family do not seem that way.

    Definitely not coming across well. We won’t do the job anymore, but we want the titles and security.
    Pay for us to sit back and do what we want.

    If course their security was taken away when they moved to Canada.

    The British Police provide close protection for the Royal family, now did they really think that British Police were going to send police over and back to Canada to protect them?

    Can we all agree that both disliking the Royal family and what they stand for, and also calling this farce out for what it is, are not mutually exclusive?? You can do both.

    If he thinks his granny is bad, he's lucky he didn't grow up in Tudor times.

    Himself and Meghan would have surely been beheaded by now for treason.

    So you think she should have been free to waltz into the RF to do as she saw fit?

    It’s the RF, not some council estate clan

    Centuries of duty, service, protocol, rules...

    Wtf did she expect?

    An yes, the great family that allowed his mother to be hounded to her death and then forced him to walk behind her coffin in front of the world so they could make themselves look human. If that was my family, I'd have fücked them under the bus long before now.

    I absolutely am not a person who follows the Royal Family. Yawn Yawn most of the time. You won't catch me watching a Royal wedding.

    But I think ppl are triggered because of this most unedifying public display of family back stabbing. From people who are filthy rich and more privileged than most people on the planet.

    It's disguising. And they are doing it for their own notoriety, both of them.
    I find it utterly stomach churning how they are behaving, even if the allegations are completely true.

    Diana was as much her own worst enemy as the RF

    But people don’t want to hear that

    The whole thing is just completely tacky. Did we really need to know any of this information? Just another PR campaign by the two of them to ensure Meghan stays firmly positioned as victim #1 no matter what. A lot of dangling carrots without any actual information to form any proper conclusions and a lot said without context. “Kate did something but she owned it, sent me flowers and apologised”. Well what did she do? Saying something like that is completely pointless and without actually telling us what it is she did, it allows people to draw all sorts of ridiculous conclusions. Did she stab you in the face with a stiletto on purpose or was it something as innocuous as she deleted something you had recorded off Sky. Without details, this shlt is meaningless.

    Again, someone is meant to have said something about Archie like “Will he be dark” sounds pretty nefarious when framed in a way that implies racial undertones but it could have been something as innocent as “I wonder what he will look like”.. and again, not saying WHO said it just leaves the whole palace open to racist accusations.
    I just don’t understand the pair of them. You couldn’t pay me to involve myself in that institution and it’s no secret that it has its problems, but equally a pair of self righteous pontificating whingebags I’ve never come across. If Meghan was so concerned about not being able to defend herself while part of the firm and feeling trapped, does she not feel for Kate who she has just thrown under the bus so publicly with a vague accusation of making her cry, I doubt Kate has the ability to counteract or clarify that. I just wish they’d piss off now. The rest of the interview sounds like a load of paranoid drivel out of the two of them and just pure speculation on why they believe people acted like they did towards them. Nothing concrete. The whole interview seemed to have been based on that one step forward two steps back, say things without saying anything kind of notion. Absolutely pointless but perfect if your only intention was to stir the pot.

    I’m sick of seeing the pair of them every bloody day now crying about something else. You wanted privacy, now go live in peace and have it. For someone who suffered a miscarriage last year you’d think Meghan would want to be minding herself now and not stirring up a worldwide ****storm, and all for what? Whatever about her, she can move on from this. Harry has destroyed every meaningful relationship with his family with this tacky display of victim hood that absolutely nobody needed to see. And the most pathetic thing a near 40 year old man whinging about being cut off financially from his family. They’re so out of touch it’s unreal.
