Only according to your blackened soul. |
They’re still going to be propped up by the Bank of Dad, so they’re hardly destitute. |
Calm down, fan girl. Your idols have been revealed to have feet of clay. |
This was a speech that someone transcribed, so some things are understandable. But I agree they need a crisis management PR firm to smooth very obvious rough edges. |
I found it very warm, thoughtful, and moving. Note he said “The decision I have made.” I don’t think that is a slip of the tongue. This was his choice. It deepens my admiration for him. |
A more peaceful life shaking people down for cash and hitting up hollywood for voice over roles for Meghan
Look, Harry really did have a choice. He could have taken his wife and child and moved to a quiet ranch or estate in the country. With his 40 million plus whatever from Charles and future inheritances, he had way more than enough to live in the lap of luxury (environmentally conscious luxury but even so). He could live quietly with his wife and son and socialize with a small group of discreet friends, periodically appear in select documentaries about the environment or Africa or appear on the royal balcony. Eventually the paparazzi would get bored of his dull life and move on to fresher meat. They always do. But nope. He didn't make that choice. He's going to go to hawken his identity and grovel at Hollywood's doors for roles for his wife so that they can stay on the red carpet and have thousands of cameras chasing after them, but that's still ok as long as they make millions out of it. Either Harry is really dense (probaby), not very bright (probably) or he's completely besotted with a wife who is self absorbed (possibly) and pushed him into this (quite possibly).

Same - also I feel like the 'many months' points to the fact that this process started within the past year. My guess is - right after Archie was born. I think Meghan and Harry put up with the media attacks on HER (uncomfortably so) but after the same British media officials started posting negative articles about their newborn they decided it was time to leave. Off the top of my head I saw - Criticism for lack of photos, criticism over his godparents, calling Archie a monkey, saying he would grow up a brat away from his cousins... Just so many things and he's only 8 months old. It wasn't just about protecting Meghan anymore. |
| If it truly was Harry’s grand plan to exit, then I wonder if Meghan might eventually blame him for it? She signed up to be princess. |
Actually it’s not your concern. Nothing about their life is your concern as it doesn’t affect you. Worrying about their health insurance makes you a nut. |
Or, maybe, Harry and Meghan are just greedy people who want to exploit their royal status to make lots of money and used the claims of racism, real or not, as an excuse. |
I guess you conveniently forgot the fact that they tried that? Harry and Meghan moved to the Cotswold countryside - a 1 hr and 45 min commute from London - in March 2019 because the press hired a helicopter to fly low over their house, take pictures of every room, and splashed the house + location on national news. (Notice none of the press turned DOWN those photos either). https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/16/europe/prince-harry-meghan-helicopter-pictures-gbr-intl-scli/index.html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/05/16/harry-meghans-safety-security-seriously-undermined-helicopter/ The Grade II listed farmhouse, tucked away in four acres of private land in Oxfordshire, was rented by Harry and Meghan as they prepared for the arrival of their first child. The royal couple were said to have selected the property due to the high levels of seclusion it afforded, which promised to keep away the prying lenses of photographers. However, their plans for a life of rural solitude were dealt a blow when the location was made public on January 9, prompting a celebrity news agency to hire a helicopter to investigate. Splash News and Pictures flew at a “low altitude” over the farmhouse to take pictures and video, which gave a view directly into the bedroom, a privacy case launched by Harry claimed. The shots were published by various news outlets in both print and online on January 11 in a move which was said to have “very seriously undermined” the couple’s security. |
| Sorry they moved OUT in January 2019. |
You're aware that criticism was because they were behaving very differently with their baby than royals had before. Of course there was talk. They could have weathered it, in time. They didn't bother. That's fine. They can have their privacy. They'll have some notoriety for a while. Then they'll be gone. |
That ain't changing when they pimp themselves out on the red carpet in Hollywood. They ain't exactly moving to Vancoucer to escape the press or to live quietly. So they're not trying seriously. If they really wanted privacy, they just needed to give it time. Whoever Harry married, the wife was always going to attract attention for a few years. Will and Kate handled it pretty well, hiding out in Anglesley for a few years. Harry didn't try that. Whatever the reasons, the recent statement Harry made clearly tells us $$$$$ is a major reason for their stepping down as members of the royal family. |
Sorry that stung, don’t be angry. Yes the BRF is really just national mascots, their image is their greatest asset and their role is an antiquated and delicate bone in a modern world. They indeed care very much. |
