Probably something very small that set MM off about Kate and now MM has cut Harry from his family. Classic NPD. A thousand red flags when MM only had like 2 people from her past at the wedding. Probably cut everyone out all through her life because they called her out on what she really is.

All these projections make you sound like You are the one with a problem.

I can’t believe there are people on here who think they are planning on selling actual merchandise with Sussex on it. That’s not how any of this works...for any celebrity save Donald Trump.

I haven’t read through most of the pages here, but I DID read exactly this. On Twitter somewhere. I hope you are correct. Because that idea is gross and it didn’t seem like them, but the whole thing is shocking so...

Because she has such power over her family members' personal lives, this causes repeated crises in the BRF.

I like and admire the Queen, but gosh, you'd think she'd learn by now to listen and take seriously when her loved ones express real human, emotional needs.

I truly believe she has aspergers.

Huh. I've always just thought she was so duty-focused that she had hardened herself emotionally. Maybe that was how she thought she'd survive the job in a way that her father was unable to do. I hope one day after she's passed that a good biographer will be given access to records and cooperation with family and staff so that we can know her better. She's a fascinating figure.

I was intrigued by that storyline in the Aberfan episode of The Crown about her inability to cry and her own concern with that inability. It's fiction, of course, but it made me wonder what kind of rumors have swirled around her over the years that might have inspired the screenwriter to put that bit in.

Talk about raising awareness for mental health.

Harry is now 6th in line to the throne. An absolutely catastrophic event would have to happen for him to take the throne. Why shouldn't he and Meghan get to live their own lives?

It'd be different if William hadn't yet had kids and Harry was still 4th in line.

Again, the issue is that they want all of the trappings of royal life ($$ in funding from Prince Charles estate, taxpayer funded Frogmore Cottage, royal protection officers, all the pomp and fawning), without any of the responsibilities.

Good luck with that.

Wow I guess he should just completely abandon his family (only way to end his connection to “royal life” and “pomp”) to make you happy

Unfortunately the reality is funding and funding by the taxpayers. They can't demand or expect funding (including millions in security costs) if they don't perform royal duties. The British government would be well within their rights to raise a ruckus about it.

People on this thread are screeching about their personal views over Harry and Meghan without realizing these two are in a very particular set of circumstances that comes with many rules and it does not make a neat split easy without massive changes to how their life is funded and organized.

I don't see people like Zara abandoning her family because she's not involved in all the pomp.

Does she take up royal engagements? Does she get a royal allowance? What security does she receive and who pays for it? Hmm... those are questions you need to ask. I did a quick search online and it's easily confirmed that Zara and her brother don't get royal funding and they also don't get security.

Dude, they live in her mother's house which is staffed by royal protection officers 24/7. They also drive her cars...well, did. Zara's liscense was just suspended.

Anne pays for everything that has to do with them, their kids nannies and private schools, and their lifestyles.

Guess who pays for Anne?

Anne refused to pay for her son’s wedding and they sold pictures to a tabloid to finance it.

Anne owns her estate outright. She does receive protection. And she is possibly the hardest working royal. But Zara and Peter aren't going out all over the place followed with a security detail. That is the extra cost incurred by Harry and Meghan. Zara and Peter have lived independently in the past in other places without security. They do not take royal duties nor receive a royal allowance. What Anne does with her own money is up to her but Zara and Peter are not directly living off taxpayer largess.

I know plenty of Brits who license was suspended for six months. It's commonplace in the UK and not scandalous. They are very strict when it comes to driving and driving mistakes.

I can’t tell the intent of this comment but lest it is ambiguous I do not mean this as a dig at HRH.

Well, if someone wrote that on Twitter, it must be a good analogy.

No, I don't think so. I think it is a function of how she was raised-she was a royal in a different time. She was educated and raised entirely by private tutors and governesses at home, and every aspect of her life was controlled and meant to prepare her for life as a royal. (Charles was the first royal who even attended school, and he didn't start until he was 8, which is when British kids enter boarding school.)

Also, Elizabeth was separated from her family for long periods with little communication because of their royal duties and the times. She also was a product of wartime, when country came before family for many.

Real life is better than fiction. I am on the edge of my seat seeing how this plays out . I was in London when they announced their engagement. I would love to be there now and hearing all of the commotion. The Brits can be downright nasty---but highly entertaining.

I actually think people bash them too much, but i agree with the tweet. Show true financial independence by refunding the cost of re-doing your home, pay for your own security and don't take handouts from daddy. All they need is a good investor and the 24/25 million they already have will go far enough.

Anne is by far the hardest working royal. 455 engagements in one year in Britain plus another 85 overseas. https://www.harpersbazaar.com/uk/celebrities/news/a14515465/princess-anne-busiest-member-of-the-royal-family-2017/#

This tweet is like a woman child who thinks that a horrible analogy is something that the world needs to hear.
