Your bias is so transparent. Take a break. |
This actually seems like both a fair assessment of the outcome and a fair situation. Royals should have the option of determining how much of themselves they want to give to the concept of monarchy. After all, the majority of the world doesn’t hold with the idea at all. |

Interesting statement. I agree with the Sun analysis.
The Queen calls them Harry and Meghan, not the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thesun.co.uk/news/10730652/queen-statement-meghan-markle-prince-harry/amp/ |
Megan and Harry are extremely popular especially with progressive to moderates, under 65 crowd, multinationals etc. They'll do fine. The people that hate them like the crazy poster have always hated them. The racist older white lady demographic has never been a part of their brand. Canada will do well too. One paper estimated that Harry and Megan brought in over 2B to England in tourism. Canada does not have anything at the level of the Sussex family and their choosing Canada will help Canadain tourism. The pressure to step down is coming from Charles aides who have been trying to push things along and accelerate things. This will stall that for a bit. She'll step aside eventually when she becomes ill. |
Beatrice and Eugenie would happily take a piece of that action in exchange for money from the Sovereign Grant. |
Ouch. |
So, you think she’ll still be queen 10 years from now? When she’s well into being a centenarian? |
They’ll do fewer appearances, plus have the power to shape the monarchy for the new era. They are discreet and understand how to work the system, they will be fine. |
Canada won't receive much benefit from them, hopefully enough to cover the cost. They're not popular with progressives and, after this stunt, not popular with royalists either. |
DP. Wouldn't bet against her. |
How will it affect Canadian tourism in any way? |
They’re not an option. Remember, Charles will be the next king and he’s long advocated for a more streamlined monarchy. He’s not going to lose face by having his (very popular) son step back and having his (very unpopular) nieces take on a royal role. That goes against everything he stands for. The only option is for William to step up - no wonder he’s looking angry lately. |
And Charles would rather light Windsor Castle on fire AGAIN than let that happen. We’ll see if his attitude towards Andrew’s girls changes. A big step would be announcing the wedding date that’s been delayed five months so far... |
The Sun is a rag. The Queen sounds like the loving grandmother that she is. She is very loving of Harry. |
lol So, you think the queen is immortal? |
