The thought of this makes me cringe. It’s sad because they really don’t have any actual talent or career to fall back on.

Huh? They've got a career. They don't need to fall back on anything. Unless there's a revolution in the UK. Is that what you're cringing about? The possibility of a violent revolution?

No one said anything about a violent revolution. That was you. Barbados just voted peacefully to end the monarchy and the transition ceremony happened 4 days ago. Jamaica is doing the same in 2022. Scotland is interested in a vote and Canada is looking antsy as well. P-e-a-c-e-f-u-l democratic transition. Look it up.

Majority of Canadians want to ditch the British monarchy. How feasible is it?

The Commonwealth may get smaller. Scotland isn't leaving, fwiw.

In any event, the UK is not going to have a revolution, peaceful or violent.

William is good. He doesn't need to worry about getting a different job.

Hahaha William and Kate are boring. Let them keep their precious throne.

I’m convinced that the majority of people who hate Meghan/love Will&Kate are 50+ year old white conservatives on either side of the pond. Brexiteers/Trumpers who are projecting their own anxieties onto Meghan.

+1. The thought process/argument style is the same. Impervious to facts, can't assimilate new information, can't recognize the difference between what they know to be true and what they are assuming, repetitive talking points, same responses regardless of what the person they responded to said, and zero nuance.

Yup, pretty much. It’s totally fine to prefer one over the other but to turn Meghan into the boogeyman and the cause of all problems in the world is where it turns into bizarre and obsessive behavior.

The guy that is investigating the smear campaign of Meghan on Twitter has revealed several of the accounts are middle aged white women. One was even a former "madame".

Regardless of public opinion, Canada is unlikely to ditch the monarchy. To do so, they'd have to change their constitution, and opening up that process is opening a can of worms, for historical reasons.

Ehhh, they've got nothing else going on at the moment. No wars. And IMO Trudeau waited around and didn't appoint a Queen's Governor General for a reason. The position sat empty while protests happened.

Yep. Many times. They're very persistent and vocal about it.

I agree, until the queen passes. The moment they have to devote political energy to supporting Charles’ coronation everything is going to unravel.

Because Harry did it and their obsessed. I think very few Americans find them particularly interesting. They’ve spent the past decade talking about how Kate is a down to earth and from a middle class family and they want to raise their kids that way. And now don’t seem to grasp that people find them boring. Also Meghan and Harry are only marginally more interesting to American audiences because she’s American.

They voted to Stay. And they aren't going to vote again
Not anytime soon.

I think that's actually what they'll continue to do-- leave the GG position open and otherwise ignore or downplay their membership in the commonwealth. So not break officially but let the relationship fade through neglect, to the extent they can.

But the French/English thing is always tricky, and feelings around the historic treatment of indigenous peoples is really raw right now.
