As young and ditzy Chelsy and Cressida were, they were smart enough to realize the royal life is not the life they wanted and broke up with Harry. Meghan probably reassured Harry she could handle the pressure, and it was the kind of life she wanted. Bait and switch. And now poor Harry is stuck and has no choice to try to make his marriage work. But oops - Meghan doesn't actually want to give up the royal title and perks; she just doesn't want to do the boring stuff. She wants to hang out at George Clooney's villa and Beyonce's yacht.

I agree with others - they will have a rough transition. They think the media will lessen up - it won't.

I really think Harry wanted out of being a senior member of the Royal Family with all of the tedium and hard work that is required, and he married an American in order to create an escape hatch.

I think this is even more complex than the reality.. which is that as a young bachelor, it made sense to some degree for Harry to play the role of a senior Royal. It took some of the burden off Wills and Kate while they bred their heir and spare. Now, as a husband and father who is not in line for succession, it makes sense that he should turn his focus to his family and his own life.

They never said they wanted to cut ties - they merely said they wanted to step back from the position of royals, which is a life constantly on duty. They chose not to give Archie a title, but Anne, the Queen’s daughter, chose not to give her children titles. They are still Royals. Just not in the same capacity.

They plan to grift off their names.

Dear god please send Ursus arctos horribilis to put an end to the media's obsession with this couple.

Better yet, I hope to goodness they just up and disappear.


Would love nothing more than to see all the people who have no life running around hysterical losing their minds in panic because they can no longer follow this couple's every move .

With a divorce, Harry would be left w/o a family and w/o a country. It would likely be after the queen dies ... it seems Harry's own dad and brother might not be as understanding or savvy as the queen seems to be.

Meghan is 40. I wouldn't call her a 'young' Royal. Hell she isn't even Royal anymore

She and Kate are the same age - 38. I guess they're all too old to be sitting at home doing nothing anymore right?

Meghan is a year older. Kate just turned 38.

At least the Woke Black Queen Meghan knew better than to marry a white frat boy nazi sympathizer. Oh, woops. She didn't.
Kind of makes her 'racist' claims laughable when the most racist of the bunch is the guy she married. LOL

Except Anne's kids shut up and do their jobs. They don't cry and whine about no one asking if they are "ok". Did you ask Zara if she was "OK" after she had her kids?

Well no one called Zara's kid a chimpanzee. Nobody in their right mind would put up with this sort of abuse aimed at the children. Its sickening.

Here Are 20 Headlines Comparing Meghan Markle To Kate Middleton That May Show Why She And Prince Harry Are Cutting Off Royal Reporters

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ellievhall/meghan-markle-kate-middleton-double-standards-royal?utm_source=dynamic&utm_campaign=bfsharefacebook&ref=mobile_share

That's obscene. Such double standards.

Anyone who follows the Royals knows that you could pull out headlines showing the poor treatment of any Royal.

Can you pull some nasty Kate headlines then?

Not pp but the UK press nicknamed her "Waity Katy" because she hung around for EIGHT years before they got married.

Which turned out to be the smart thing to do considering Meghan couldn’t even make it 2!

What? This makes no sense. Meghan didn’t have to hang around, as Harry proposed relatively quickly.

Kate waited around while Wills was out sowing his wild oats, as she had no ambition to do anything with her life, save for marrying William.

She met him at 19, not 36. Of course they stayed together for several years before getting engaged. But this is besides the point, she was taunted with Waity Katie for years, often to her face, because she wasn't a member of the family and there were fewer restrictions on the press. Her parents were fashioned as country bumpkins, social climbers, her sister was hounded. Let's be honest, it wasn't the press that drove the Sussexes decision, they just didn't want to be second fiddle and I can't say I blame them.

Many people meet their spouse in college and still develop a real career for themselves (I did!) they called her Waity because she did nothing befitting her degree. No one knew who Pippa was until Kate’s wedding and Pippa sought the press attention so she could hawk her basic garbage (remember Pippa tips?). That said I do think the press coverage of her parents was unfair. Carole Middleton seems like a very ambitious and hardworking person who is basically like a classier, British Kris Jenner. And just like Kris her least successful child is her son.

I’ve forgiven Kate for not doing much with her degree. I myself failed two classes in a semester when putting too much time into a relationship. And the relationship ended.

I ended up re-taking the classes, which doesnt remove the Fs from my college transcript but did replace the grade for the GPA. This issue hasn’t followed me at all, and I feel like a normal amount of success for an average person.

I can imagine being in love with William and loved by him, and all of the on and off stuff was intoxicating and distracting.

We all make certain mistakes and we can’t go back in time. Yes, you can remember this little fact about her, but I don’t know that there are more perfect people for the job than her. If there were someone else.. the stars would have had to align perfectly. Again, you can’t go back and line everything up just so.

They broke up multiple times during this time for William to pursue other women. Which is all the more reason why her not pursuing a real career is so weird. Long-term (10 years!!!) underemployment/unemployment is not a little fact.

And why it's not surprising that William is cheating on her now. Wills can't keep it in his pants.

Why hello Meghan, or is this Jessica?

I feel sorry for Kate Middleton. I hope putting up with William's wandering is worth everything else.

Cressida, maybe. But I don't think Chelsy was a ditz. Chelsy had a law degree and spent 3-4 years working at Allen and Overy in London as an associate. No matter how well she was treated, it's still nearly 4 years of biglaw.

You keep using the word "grift," but I don't think you know what it means. A grift is a con game. Branding isn't a grift. It's marketing a trademark or intellectual property. It may not be to your taste, but it's not a grift.

Whatever. They’ve constructed all these excuses simply to cash in.

I see. Please explain what is their brand and what does it stand for?

Yup. They had to filter out all the racist ones since obviously Kate never dealt with that. Funny enough it still leaves dozens of examples where Kate is praised and Meghan vilified for doing the same thing. It’s truly shocking.

I remember when Kate was photographed sunbathing naked and even... doing you know... with Will. The photos hit the American presses but not the UK press.

Anyway, you still ignored the point that the headlines are still curated out of thousands of headlines. And ignoring all the negative headlines about Kate in the past, or any other royal. But what does it matter? You only care that Meghan must be innocent and is only treated this way because she's biracial rather than a royal.

Is the concept of marrying for love an American one?

Maybe to you. To me and a lot of other people (see the majority positive international coverage) they look smart: they are protecting their child, setting up a way to independent wealth, and getting themselves away from a toxic family. Seems brilliant.

Yes... they are going to make a fortune (or try to make a fortune) by being grifters.... because that's what it is. Manipulating rich people to make yourself rich through huge speaking fees when you say nothing of particular merit. At least other famous speakers have illustrious careers (former presidents, for example).

I'm all for people making a fortune but let's not pretend this is a morally better way of doing it, especially as the at the same time want to be spokesmen for oppression and environmental causes and all that at the same time. Errr? Am I missing something here? Why not donate your fat speaking fees to save the environment rather than paying for your private jet, eh?

Like I said earlier, I'd have total respect and completely support them if their plan was to retreat to a quiet life somewhere. Live an environmentally sustainable lifestyle on a farm in western Canada. Maybe pop back to the UK a few times a year for ceremonies but otherwise live very privately with just their children and close friends. That would meet their need for privacy and to have their own life. But that's not what's happening, is it? They want to be a different kind of royal: celebrities. Which means they'll still be in the nasty public eye, full media attention, press following them everywhere, jetting around the world on high carbon private jets to lecture about saving the environment, hanging out on the red carpet with the Clooneys and other celebs.

Shrugs.

There are many ways to live a sustainable lifestyle that don’t require you to live on a farm. If that is the only way to do it then we are truly effed. They need security. Harry has previously had his life threatened and been a target of kidnapping while he was in the military. Plus if they are as reviled as you say they are in the UK then they are also at risk. So either they can have their costs paid by Charles or they can work. But you seem to be against either.

Rather telling you ignored the hypocrisies involved here.

Living in a big mansion and jetting around in a private jet all the time = hypocrite, not environmentalist. Making a fortune through speaking fees and grifting from your new foundation, while telling people how to be better environmentalists while simultaneously not following it yourself = hypocrite.

That was a big part of the criticism laid against Harry and Meghan over the past year or so.

Actions speak louder than words. And unfortunately their actions to date aren't encouraging. What they proclaim they want to do does not match up with the realities of being a proper environmentalist or a proper social reformer. Saying you're retreating from the royal life to live the quiet life a la Greta Garbo is utterly honorable and understandable. Leaving the royal life to be another shallow rich celeb with double standards is not.

Are you the poster that thinks they should go live on a farm and raise animals?

It'd be far less controversial if they did. And understandable. But they want to go off to make money by being hypocrites. And that is the point you seem to have trouble grasping. Making millions telling people to save the environment while flying around in private jets at the same time. Ok. Go for it!

Sweetie, I asked a simple question. Are you the poster upthread that said they would respect them more if they moved onto a farm and raised animals? Yes or no?

I'm not going to play your game because it's more telling you're obsessed with this in order to refuse having to acknowledge the simple hypocrisy of the situation surrounding Meghan and Will. They want to run off to be Hollywood jet setters and make a fortune from fat speaking fees to enrich their lifestyle instead of donating it to their causes, the same causes they'll be lecturing people on. Like environmentalism, while flying around in private jets . And they will still have the press hordes chasing after them.

They're trying to have their cake and eat it. That's why the comment about having more respect if they were genuinely planning a private life in the country somewhere existed.
