Poor boy, please let him have a life. Looks such a pleasant fellow, unlike others.

He doesn't look, sound or behave like the rest of them. Go figure.

gotta help the yanks out on this: Syrup = short for 'syrup and figs' = cockney rhyming slang for wig. You should manage the rest.

Friction caused by Megan's popularity which annoyed Catherine and led to the brothers split . Megan & Harry are and will remain the two most popular members of the royal family . 

Is Andrew in the clear yet ? R/F diminishing  

 

TVF so lucky to have a confident as a poster who can tell us this! ????

I think you will find most Brits are of a mixed European race somewhere down the line as proved by DNA with the exception being some of the Welsh . 

The last English king of England was Harold. Since then we've had French, Welsh, Scots, Dutch, Germans, and maybe others I've forgotten.

Dane (Knut) - predates Harald Godwinson so that's not looking good.

A bunch of inbred German carpetbaggers. Good riddance to the lot of them.

 

The Queen's half Scottish for starters. Prince Philip's father was a member of the Greek and Danish Royal families.

 

Complicated isn't it?

Kaiser Wilhelm was Queen Victoria's Grandson. Albert was a Kraut, Mountbatten was really von Battenberg.

The meeting on Monday will be the first time the senior royals have met in person to discuss the concerns raised by Harry and Meghan.

Let´s hope Harry stands up for his wife and children and also make it the last. Let him be free if that is his wish. I totally fail to see where there would be any crisis.

I don't think he will get censured for wishing to be independent. However he will get a bollocking for the manner in which he did it or for not asking first so that "the palace" could make the announcement.

History repeats.... a second scarlet woman from the states, ensnares a royal and destroys his nobility. Funnily, only a few months ago, Americans were all agog at having joined the royalty..... oops.... y’all are ruiners.

I know! These ‘insiders’ are all blaming the woman for this. 
 

These blokes probably can’t imagine an equal partnership, or god forbid, or consider that Harry saw that marrying an outsider with her own money meant that he had a way out of the firm and life which he pretty clearly despises (and now is surplus to requirements).

Avid readers of Hello! Magazine as well. How they must gossip at the hair salon when getting their perms.

Nothing to worry. In a couple of years harry will realise his wife is a cow and want to return home.

Maybe it's worth asking here.... why does Britain really need any royals or royal family in the first place?

 

Yes, I know it's history and custom and tradition. But in today's world, what real purpose do they serve in modern Britain, other than probably being a huge collective expense to the country.

 

You've got a Prime Minister, as such, and a Parliament, as such...  What else do you need?

Here's a thought - open up Buckingham Palace for AirBnB - they've got plenty of rooms. The park behind looks lovely. And the Queen can meet and greet in the morning with tea and crumpets. This would go a long way to covering their expense to the British taxpayer.

Couldn't they just do the changing of the guard for the tourists at some local mosque, and call it a day???

Best to part with that dysfunctional family

And move back to her own one?

Princes have been to Pattaya many, many, many times...

 

and now the royal family, after being in the spotlight, have decided to run away and leave their country behind.

 

it's the biggest disgrace in over 543 years 

Ridiculous.

A lot of fuss over nothing.

The couple can do whatever they want as long as they take nothing from tax payers.

Why would they want to stay in the firm?

Nice bloke and his lovely Wife.

Good luck to them.

Harry is a lost soul.

Married to the mob.

He ain't no prince no more.

Harry married a what? .... well there goes the neighborhood...
