Why wouldn’t they tell the family first? Seems like bad manners and needlessly hurtful.
Before this, what exactly is the cause of the tension between Will and Harry? |
My theories: 1) if they told the queen, she would have forbidden it. This way they have to beg for forgiveness but can still do it. 2) imagine that your big brother is also your boss with a say in every decision in your entire life. And then imagine he disapproves of your wife. |
Assuming it’s true that they didn’t tell the family first (I’m skeptical), I think that’s a sign that something had truly broken down already and Harry didn’t think his family would respect his right to make his own decisions for his family. More generally, Harry struggled with a lot of demons related to being a Royal when he was younger, and on a certain level I’m sure he still does. After all, while I have no doubt he truly loves Meghan, it’s a pretty big statement that he decided to marry an American, and not one who resembled British aristocracy. I suspect getting some distance from Royal life will be very healthy for Harry, and Meghan’s probably the first person to tell him that it’s okay to put his own mental health first. |
| Eh, I think this was Harry’s idea as much as Megan’s, if not more. He was over the drama. And now he has his own child, he wants him to not deal with it all. I speculate that when he proposed to her, he told her this was the plan. And it became much more solid once the media treated her so badly. He does not want to relive history. |
Your response makes no sense. Do you truly believe the media attention will stop? Do you believe they really want it to stop? They’ve launched a new website, had already launched instagram and likely spent the time in Canada curating their next big moves. In order to make money, their celebrity status is key. You’re acting like they’re pulling a Bruce & Demi and moving to the sticks to avoid the media and give the kid a normal life. It can be done (Bruce & Demi did it), but that’s not what they want. They don’t want to work and serve Harry’s country; and, they want to make buckets of money, run with celebs, and not have to exercise restraint. Think: Kardashians. |
Sure he wouldn’t. He’s only been raging about being king since middle school. |

This was in the gossip column over a week ago. If s gossip column can get the scoop, so can the Queen. So I'm sure they knew it was coming, they were just never officially informed.
https://blindgossip.com/the-big-plan/#more-99874 This is also a classic narc move, isolating the victim Harry from his family. She must be dynamite in bed for him to give up everything. |
What do you mean? |
This is it exactly. Now that they’ve made their announcement, the queen has to find a way to make it work. Otherwise they risk airing out their dysfunction. I think the queen and William are livid about this but the public announcement means their only option is to put on a happy face and cooperate. |
| It's taken too long but hopefully this is the beginning of the end of the old British monarchy. |
William has a temper. Generally the press avoids reporting on it but when he was younger and felt even slightly disrespected he’d scream about how he was going to be king someday. There was even tension with Kate when he felt her popularity was eclipsing his. |
| They will get handled the same way the Royals handled the Wallace Simpson debacle. History repeats... |

First, I don't get the point to the British Royal Family - they don't have a purpose.
Second, I don't have any emotions over Meghan and Harry. But I am pretty certain Meghan's agent simply went through the couple's earning potential as world wide icons and I am sure it was at least half a billion dollars. So - take that money, dust off all that weird royal hierarchy bs and the scandals and cross the pond. |
