Good, I don’t follow US celebrities anyway. Hopefully they will disappear from British press.

I doubt the press will ease up. They will be hounded relentlessly aka Diana.

Especially once the divorce drama begins.

Yes. Until the tabloids find a new punching bag. Probably not until George grows up and takes up with an "inappropriate" girl friend.

I can't imagine the racism she dealt with there, or the snobbery. She married for love, not status. You could tell the entire time leading up to the wedding that she was camera nervous.

She seems down to earth. Too down to earth to sit on the perch of the British Empire, I guess.

But who cares? Seriously? They are living their best liife. Good for them.

Is there some type of political or larger implication of this that I am missing that impacts anyone but the royal family?

Racism? Nobody sees a black woman when they see MM. She's trying to appropriate and weaponize blackness that she does not actually possess. She didn't grow up hard knocks, either; she was a privileged private school gal from K through age 22. Then she was a layabout actress for 15 years. Now she's a layabout royal interloper. Her woe is me minority shtick falls flat. This is one of THE most privileged persons on Earth.

WTF? Were you born under a rock? Most people do see her as a black woman.

+1. I'm the biracial PP. Most white Americans have trouble recognizing African ancestry--I think this is partly why some AAs were able to "pass" into white society throughout US history.

I've had white people burst out laughing when they find out I'm black/part black. Never had that happen with black people; they always recognize that I'm at least part black.

STOP IT. Both (all?) of you.

Stop what? Acknowledging the reality of what MM and other AAs may face in 2020? Are you trying to shush VALID experiences? Did you shush the similar shade POC that doesnt like MM and said she isn't black, or that she didnt have blackness?

Look, if you want to put your head in the sand and choke that is on you. What you aren't going to do is control who can and who cannot talk about their experience and contribution becuase it offends your fragile sensibilities. There are over 1M AA people in Mississipi alone that have been told to STOP talking about things that others dont care about.

You don't have the right to tell me to stop sharing my opinion and experience. Go back to sleeping on everything.

Maybe you should ask yourself why you're so bothered by it. You can agree/disagree/not GAF, and not feel the need to regulate convo.

So start your own thread. It’s hard to real relevant posts in between all of your gibberish. Your counterpart was annoying too be he/she appears to have stopped.

Relevant to WHOM? LOL! Just because you cannot follow, doesn't mean I am off topic. Take it up with Jeff. My post is relevant to the discussion. I already explained why. What isnt relevant is you telling me to stop talking about something you don't like. And you are really doing a lot, I posted TWICE and you tried to shut me down. Sorry! It doesn't work like that!

This entire thread is about speculation and talk of race, class, money, thoughts of why, blah blah blah. But you pick on me. GTFOHWTBS

This article should put it to rest: the UK press (possibly aided by palace leakers) has been unquivocably toxic to Meghan:

Yep. Contrary to what some what to think, it's been handled very quickly, minimal fuss, Harry and Meghan were already halfway out the door, it resolves the issue of Harry's future for the time being (not a working royal and makes it easier to focus on Will & Kate's family as the future). Within a few days the press furor will die down and Harry and Meghan will move on to their new life quickly enough.

My only thoughts are two fold: what the actual future is like for Harry and Meghan is utterly unpredictable and I am not gambling on a happy outcome. I don't think they are greedy or manipulative, but what they seem to want won't jar well with reality, methinks. They will too easily fall into the celebrity rut of too much easy money, slavish adoration and no challenges. And my second thought is that the Royal family will never forget nor forgive Meghan Markle and are probably glad to see her gone. Not because of racism but because they probably do see her as unsuitable for Harry, took him away from them, emotionally unstable, and most of all, who rejected the entire concept of royal duty and obligation, and probably do expect her to divorce Harry someday.

+1 to pretty much all of the above.

Agree. Marriage is hard and requires perseverance and compromise. Two skills Meghan has shown to be lacking.

Sounds like it:

Harry and Meghan have made clear that they do not want to be reliant on public funds in their new lives.

It has therefore been agreed that there will be a period of transition in which the Sussexes will spend time in Canada and the UK.

These are complex matters for my family to resolve, and there is some more work to be done, but I have asked for final decisions to be reached in the coming days.

And then Charles will withdraw their allowance?

Does the "allowance" stem from public funds or private assets owned by the BRF? If public funds, then the "allowance" will go away. If from privately held assets, then the Queen/Charles will need to make a choice.

The entire problem is that the Queen/Charles refused to pro-actively make decisions. Harry forced them to act and now it will all play out in public.

The allowance is from Prince Charles' income from the Duchy of Cornwall. It's his to give or take away. It is not part of the Sovereign Grant which is taxpayer funded. The Sussexes have wanted to give up the Sovereign Grant funds all along. Even if Prince Charles withdraws the money that he gives them, Harry still has around $33 million in his own money and then MM has whatever she brought into the marriage.

When the Queen dies it will become William’s money. And he will have his own children to support. Bye bye big allowance!

You're an idiot.

When the Queen dies, guess who becomes King?

Yeah, Harry's father. He'll get twice the income of the Duchy of Cornwall immediately allotted to him.

The Duchy makes 21 million pounds a year. You think the King is going to give Harry a 42M allowance per annum?

You think Prince Charles is giving Prince Harry 100% of the Duchy of Cornwall income right now?

I'm not sure what your point is here.

Not at all. I’m saying William will control the whole 21M and Harry will receive but a fraction from Charles. Especially once Harry divorces his wife.

Ohh, I see. Sorry William is irrelevant to me and you were trying to gloat that his allowance will suddenly be bigger.

That's great!

Well this latest move will only make it worse. If Harry and Meghan don’t give them news, they’ll just make it up.

Of course, you are correct. How is one supposed to cradle their belly so people don't think you're virtue signaling?
