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).

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).

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.

But everyone knows where they’re staying in Vancouver now. And everyone will know when they move.

If they really wanted to disappear, they could. But they don’t.

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.

William and Kate had no-fly zones established over the properties.

PP with the bizarre homestead/farm fantasy, you really have to seek some help. They're not moving to a farm. Give it up.

It brought him great sadness that it has come to this. Really? Sounds like a divorce.

Shrugs. Do they want privacy or not? There are options. But they clearly are not really interested in it. They'd have to give up being celebs as the price of being a celeb is publicity, both good and nasty.

They can't chase after a fortune as influencers and Hollywood roles while demanding the privacy they claim is important. They can't have both. They could chose one or the other. And that was the point you struggle with. An estate/country life would be quite typical for a British aristocrat, especially one with a commitment to environmentalism, and that would be the quiet and private option. But they are clearly choosing celebrity instead, which is why all this talk about needing privacy is hypocritical.

Go to hell. 318 pages and you are still not satiated yet. You are truly grotesque.

Why is this hitting such a nerve with you?

I think it hits a nerve with every person of color who was told they were being “sensitive” when faced with racist treatment, or worse that we were imagining it because really, we live in a post-racial world. Then there are the people who gaslight you and say “Prove it.”

It resonates with everyone who was treated less or who eventually quit a job or organization when the micro aggressions got to be too much. It hits a nerve when you’ve been in position to defend your humanity to racist jerks.

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.

Of course, We’re imagining things. They were treated fairly and are just using racism as an excuse to leave.

I forgot the most common reaction by enablers is to blame the target of racism. They must have done SOMETHING to deserve it.

Your country estate fantasy is pretty weird. I think you've read a few too many regency romances.

I predict divorce.

Can Harry speak without playing the My Mother, Diana card?

I think he is already regretting his decision. Hopefully next year he is back.

William and Kate are slated to be the reigning monarchs. They are going to get perks that can’t be afforded to the 6th in line, mostly because of public optics. If they were asking for the same deal, they really lack perspective. Windsor btw is a no-fly zone, no unapproved pictures of Archie have ever emerged.

If they wanted a quieter, more private life they would have gotten it. Sarah Ferguson still lives in the palace ffs.

If they want a chance at fame and fortune, then I agree they really had no choice but to take this risk. I think they got a very fair deal, time to move forward.

No one is flying planes to get photos of Fergie.

That was an example of someone that has gotten everything she wants, despite everything that transpired and her reputation. She was patient.

If she had gotten everything she wanted she would not have had to beg Jeffrey Epstein to loan her money.

Here's the full speech.

Video - https://twitter.com/chrisshipitv/status/1219020343882502144

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.

Maybe I’m a sucker but this came across as very sincere to me.
