Harry should try and raise an army and march on Windsor. The only crown that is worth something is one that is seized not given. Go on Harry , fortune favours the brave! She is probably more afraid she will wind up like Diana. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RuamRudy Posted January 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) The amount of hostility that is being displayed towards this couple is truly disturbing. He never chose to be born into this circus; he didn't request to be a figurehead - it was all thrust upon him from the moment he was born. He has had the press following his every move for years, making his life as miserable as his mother's, and then when he finds a wife, she is daily vilified in the press in the most pathetic, tawdry ways. No wonder he wants shot of this ridiculous institution of a monarchy and this nasty little island filled with nasty little people.

Popular Post cmsally Posted January 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2020 Whether they stay or go is somewhat beside the point. It is the manner in which it has been done. Instead of working out a solution there was an announcement made in haste. Also if Meghan wants to throw a spanner in the works she should at least have the manners to face everyone in person. Her behaviour would seem to suggest she is a bad mannered coward. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know how long their process has been going on? Perhaps they have been trying to find solutions for the past 6 months or a year and when things did not get forward, they made their own personal decision. I fail to blame youngish couple, who wish not to live their lives as zoo animals, especially when so many people are throwing rocks to them. I quite think that after couple of years things settle down and they might be more actively in contact with the rest of the royal family. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes no sense in the context of my post. Thankfully we are not all viciously small minded and petty, especially over something as remote, parochial and utterly unimportant as the royal family. Personally, I would rather they all joined him, but if he wants out, I guess the security cannot be overlooked as we have placed him on that pedestal and made it impossible to for him to lead a normal life. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. 1) What is it about many posters on this topic that they believe that they personally have a right to demand that this young couple behave in a certain way. Nobody owns them, kindly get that into your judgemental heads. 2) The amount of money that they get from the taxpayer is not the issue (Clearly highly convenient to some) that it is being made out to be. It is pennies for us individually, they can do without it and probably given time to sort themselves out, they will if they have no royal duties to perform. 3) If you are blind enough to doubt that the gutter press have treated Meghan quite differently to Kate check back on Kate "Lovingly cusping the bulge" containing the unborn royal brat, and compare it to Meghan "Tastelessly drawing attention to herself" in exactly the same pose. This is just one example. 4) Who cares anyway, the institution is moribund, and will hopefully disintegrate before too long. How come we have forgotten the paedophile uncle, in our rush to judge Meghan. 5) The last truly English king was killed in 1066. Then the Normans introduced the feudal system which has been the basis of the sickening British obsession with class ever since. Sadly this still sells newspapers to a huge number of subservience loving sycophants. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Johnny Foreigner who started all this mess that finally took us into two World Wars and a Common Market (oops, sorry, European Union). Thank God the Saxon people of 2019 (not forgetting the people of Wales) have finally found their voice. I hope the final cut of January 31 will be announced from Hastings....

It should be extended to cover many of those whose wealth is based on the work of others, not just the Royals. I think the main thing is that they could do without the money from the taxpayer. They are vastly wealthy (The whole family) and could live off the interest alone. Tax avoidance by the UK rich, and Amazon/Google etc gets me more worked up I must admit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are all immigrants really, there was no one here 10,000 years ago when the ice retreated. We are apparently also all related to the emperor Charlemagne.

Popular Post blazes Posted January 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2020 So Monday January 13 at Sandringham will be the meeting, if not of the Soprano family, maybe of the Contraltos and the Baritones. Except that this family is ruled by a Godmother. John Milton (b. 1608) caught for all time the spectacular fall from grace of Heaven's most distinguished Prince: “From morn to noon he fell, from noon to dewy eve, a summer's day; and with the setting sun dropped from the zenith like a falling star.” Such was Satan's fall to the depths of Hell. Even God however could not have contemplated so fiery a hell as Hollywood.... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
