think there are several iterations where they could have stayed in the UK without being full-time working royals, enjoying private school and free homes and fancy friends. There was no real reason for them to leave other than finding business opportunities in Hollywood. I think Meghan wanted more money and Harry just wanted out. |
He also probably broke rules in even saying what he did. But not surprisingly. To tease this info and other info and then cash in later. |
Harry always was the darling of the British people. They love and adore the monarchy in a way that we do not understand. Harry was the splunk that made the picture perfect. Unfortunately you are not allowed to outshine your master. That is a lesson the brf learnt from Diana. Charles was always incredibly jealous of this and that doomed the marriage before the ‘live in the shadow of the man’ woman came along. William is plain vanilla, not at all interesting and just cuts ribbons. Charles is already a has been. They lost an opportunity to make the rf more interesting and now the tabloids write more about Meghan and Harry than any other member of the royal family. |
Harry was more popular than William and his Grandmother's favorite. Meghan could have been a shining star in the BRF and an advocate for women and minorities. If they had stayed working royals, they would have been traveling the world with royal treatment and excited crowds waiting to see them. But they chose to be selfish and blew it big time. Now they are has-beens. |
It is even worse. They chose the fast huge money by publicly selling out your family v. working their way through it. They could even had done well in the US if they had not sold out for fast money. I actually like her style and she could have represented a few brands for big money. Well, not 40m instantly type of money, which is what she wanted. |
So what if they did? |
Per both, the BRF has a LOT of racists in it. Look at the one who wore a blackface Brock to their (I think it was) engagement party. Gmafb. They had very good reason to leave on that basis alone. |
... That's not a very good reason to leave. A blackface brooch worn by some aunt? Who cares? |
If that’s the case PP, why do they so desperately want to be seen as part of the royal family? |
It’s weird to me how fast everyone here forgot just how racist, abusive and toxic the British press were to Meghan/about Meghan.
They didn’t just up and leave out of the blue. They raked her everyday for all manner of things for no reason. Things that Kate did as well but when Meghan did them, she was awful for it (a dress color, a seated position, holding her pregnant stomach etc). And let’s not forget the “leak” about Meghan making Kate cry when it was the other way round but the BRF never bothered to correct the story. I’m no Harry/Meghan apologist but that family hated how easy it was for Meghan to slide into a public appearance role, boring old Kate was intimidated and the rest of them “never explained, never complained” while allowing Meghan to get battered in the press. That’s why they left. They didn’t scream for privacy, they wanted normalcy which is a different thing. They asked for modern roles that allowed them to be part time. It was rejected by QEII. They left. They have to do something to make money (granted, not what I would’ve done - Oprah interview was a huge mistake…) but here they are. They need to suck it up and live with where they landed. Charles and William will not welcome them back with open arms, especially not with Camilla in Charles ear. |
You never embarrass or turn your back on the family. The king and William should NEVER forget what Harry has done. You can NEVER trust him again. Period. |
I don’t think he wanted out and she wanted Hollywood money. I think she simply wanted complete control over him, and his titles and his money. He fell in to her trap. I think he may be beginning to see his kids are now stuck in the trap with him, and wants rescued—-hence the security plea “no one will save me”
Save yourself, dude |
You would have a better argument for whining about how Meghan was mistreated if she wasn't actually on video in an impoverished country whining that no one asked her how bad things were for her. Meghan only cares about Meghan. They certainly are not getting invited back to Kensington Palace so she should just perfect her Instagram Duchess act. |
They named their dd after the Queen so I agree it makes no sense. They still gladly also use their titles. |
He’s obviously miserable and pining for being back in the royal fold. I think they left because he had some resentment toward his brother and she amplified those feelings, making him believe he was equal to his brother when that just can’t be the case in a monarchy. The younger sibling needs to know their place (prince edward did a great job at that). This kind of sensibility didn’t sit well with him all his life probably, and along came Meghan and told him that he deserves more and that they should blow it all up for the sake of freedom. Except freedom in California, away from the land of your forebears and your extraordinary heritage, does not seem to be fulfilling for Harry and he’s sad his kids are missing out on all the pomp of being royals. People who are not from class based societies don’t fully grasp what he gave up, I feel. |
