I think the Queen got wind of these arrangements and made them choose money and deals or royalty.

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.

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.

Most Americans only know they left the royal family and really don’t care what they do now.

How do you figure? My twitter feed of young media types has been very excited to see them go in a different direction

Just ask people on the street.

Study up on Keanu Reeves. He’s beloved because he’s always come off like he isn’t impressed by Hollywood, isn’t trying to be rich or famous, keeps a low profile aside from promoting a film, etc. People love him because he seems cool and normal. Nobody thinks he’s selfish or greedy.

Try that.

Keanu is an A-list actor. His movies are BLOCKBUSTERS. He IS rich and famous!

We know, dummy.

But he doesn’t come off that way. Nobody thinks of him as a sellout. He keeps a low profile. He dresses down.

H&M are the complete opposite of Keanu. They’re media-seeking Kardashian clones.

They think they are perfect the way they are, dummy.

wow, thanks for this! enlightening. I feel like Harry and Meghan were in an impossible double bind. As I understand it, the main potential of the "work of being royal" is that you can make change by bringing social issues to the forefront. The model of this being Diana, who really did make a change by touching patients with AIDS and leprosy, and her work on landmines. But with the British press so insanely vindictive and obsessive about ANYTHING Meghan did in public (human rights abusing avocados! she crossed her legs wrong for 5 seconds!), this make her work as a royal basically impossible to fulfill. The press turned it into a zoo, designed to distract from whatever she actually did. I think the most bitter stakeholders here ought to be Britons of color, who lost the chance to see a multiracial face of England.

Yes. Kate does it with mental health and early childhood development. Her own brother has struggled severely with depression. She also knows both Harry and William struggled after their mother's death.

If somebody allowed me to represent charities I felt passionate about--I would love it. Much more than my desk job.

What I read is they wanted to get rich on their own. But, the way they planned to do that was using the Royal name. They wanted to break off, but still be supported financially and use their titles. Wth kind of deal is that for the monarchy? That plan was all one-sided in their favor. I really don't think this plan was thoroughly planned. They gambled and lost. They probably thought that if they pulled this trick the Queen would have no choice but to go along with all of their demands. I do not know what ever possessed them to think that.

And that’s fine. They don’t need to change.

But we don’t need to like them. We can judge them for their words and actions. We can believe they are self-absorbed, lack awareness of their privilege and wealth, are greedy and pathetic for pursuing even greater wealth, etc. We don’t need to admire them. They aren’t noble.

And we aren’t racist for believing this. I feel the same way about the Kardashians (who are white BTW; someone in this thread made a comment that they are black).

I've been away for some time. How the hell did Jen and Brad get dragged into this thread? lol

Is somebody comparing the way Brad was duped by Angelina to the way Harry was duped by Meghan? I could see that. Both not so bright men that were p*ssy-whipped and not thinking with their tiny brains. And, two women that see themselves as Mother Theresa and that everyone would side with them. In fact, that is a perfect analogy. That plan did not work out so well for Angelina. She got much bad press and came off as the bad one. People are now patting Brad on the back for getting out from under crazy narcissist. Angelina cut him off from all of his friends. None of them liked her. In fact, they all ended up going over to 'Team Jen'.

Even Brad's own mother was still hanging out with Jen after the divorce.

I saw those photos. Wonder if his friends are 'wtf, dude??' on him?

The comment was that they mostly date black men. A fact that angers some whites.

Not much to miss with less than 2 years as a full-time royal. Compared to the other royals, she was fresh and different. Away from them she has to stack up next to other actors and established celebrities.

Plus, everyone will always blame her for pulling a Yoko and dragging poor Harry away from his family.

Imagine if M had dressed in J Crew or the British equivalent (think: Michelle Obama), posted her own pics of her baby (think: Kate), occasionally done some charity work, ventured out in jeans to shop at regular stores (again: Kate), done the occasional trip to Africa to support H’s causes (think: Diana), etc. she would have been beloved—and even more popular than Kate and Wm.

She wore jeans to an event and the press mocked her.

Kate wears jeans when she goes shopping in stores like the average Joe. Not sure that Kate wears jeans to events.

No, the post I saw made it sound like the poster thought the Kardashians aren’t white.

Who cares? She was a Royal, a position from which she could never be fired. Look at Camilla, she gives the press the figurative middle finger.

+1 She comes across as impatient with this move. Barely made it 2 years after you consider her maternity leave and 6 week break.

That’s what narcissistic social climbers never happy and always looking for something better to come along do.

I’d care if I were her. I wasn’t put on this earth to grit my teeth and never get fired. Or to watch my kids be compared to primates. Like she said, she doesn’t just want to survive, she wants the kids to be happy.
