As she should. She's always made it very clear that you can't cheapen your royal affiliations by auctioning them off for sale so I would hope it didn't come as a surprise to H&M in their grand plan for financial independence. |
He’s trying to justify their actions. |
You are not the typical royal-obsessed American. |
I’m sure he is but they are in different situations. Analysis of the data has shown that MM has had 2xs the amount of bad press as Kate. The Queen herself even acknowledged that they were have been under a lot of media scrutiny in her statement. All that is a lot to endure in order to... never take the throne. |
The typical American is not royal obsessed. The typical American is royalty-curious. Like everyone else, we are mostly interested in our own domestic affairs. It’s been cool so far to have an American Royal (not unlike Grace Kelly from generations gone by). And yes in our eyes Meghan and Harry are still royals. This HRH thing is a distinction without a difference. |
The Queen only said they won’t use HRH. Most Americans don’t even get that was previous part of their titles of duke and duchess of Sussex. |
Yes, when comparing a 2 year period to, what, a 10+ year period, and ignoring that as a new member she was going to be under particular intense scrutiny, and, of course, utterly ignoring that she did/said things that invited a lot of critical press. When we factor all that in then we have ... uh... ok. |
At what point do you believe people are accountable for their actions? Do you believe actions have consequences? H&M have made a lot of really bad choices that make many people think they’re self-absorbed, greedy whiners. Kate is so milquetoast that nobody has anything to say about her—so why would she generate bad press? Or do you believe we’re supposed to love H&M even when they do cringeworthy stuff? |
My eyes glaze over with the HRH talk. Yet according to the queen’s statement he’s still Prince Harry, he just won’t be addressed as HRH Prince Harry?!? Come on. Americans don’t get this obsession with HRH. Princes are princes. End of story. |
I'm sure he is, but this isn't about William. |
|
Seeing how they totally botched the rollout of their new brand,
Trademark royal, their future looks very iffy. |
No. Then again, I can't believe there's a 300+ page post about them on an American message board. Harry isn't new to cringeworthy decisions. |
Precisely. He’s always had bad press thanks to himself. The only good press he’s had related to the military, his charity work, and going rogue by marrying a strong American woman. That’s right: M initially brought him good press. Together they squandered the love and goodwill by making some bad choices. The world thinks they are selfish and greedy now. Even worse: they’re now giving boo hoo speeches about how hard life is for them. Um, that never plays well IRL. The petulant prince poor-me will never be happy. |
I didn’t say the typical American was royal-obsessed. Americans who are royal-obsessed will have seen the royals on the balconies several times, especially the wedding of Diana and Charles and Kathe and William. You are unusual. |
They even get to keep their SussexRoyal brand ffs. The queen is all smoke and mirrors with her British sheep, no way is that granny throwing her grandson under the bus. |
