i am temporarily following this issue with M&H despite being anti Royal...so could not resist putting up a new thread as things develop.
This will be a first for the Royals for sure.

There is more information appearing now on M & H
M wants to continue where she left off with her career and can now ask to be paid in eye watering amounts of money.
That is their plan
She will do it by flogging her Royal status.

Is this really allowed?
Her and H can be in an advert and then seen wearing the product.
This is what they meant by modernising the monarchy.
Tacky is an understatement.

What do others on Gransnet think?

She might pull down the whole House of Cards.

And they were not pushed they have been planning all this for over a year.

Also they have to find about being Taxed, here and in US and possibly Canada, A new world for H.

What's all this about a list of Royals they would work with?

Jolbook, I suspect Archie will go to school in Canada. I feel sorry for him because he is being denied his birthright, meaning the love and support of all of his family on both sides. No aunts, uncles, cousins, and only one grandma, as he’ll rarely, if ever, see Prince Charles/Camilla.

The Nazi lovers were Wallis Simpson and Edward. Another pair who thought they could get the best of all worlds without any thought for others and that all went pear shaped. Another schemer who came badly unstuck.

MM has ruthlessly social climbed her way to the top dumping each layer as she goes including her own family. Now
that she’s there wants to make all the rules to suit herself. They gave a list of ten royals they would work with deliberately leaving Catherine off the list. Jealous and spiteful!

I hope William will be forgiving enough to support Harry when the s**t hits the fan! Poor sad sucker! What Meghan wants Meghan gets! The alimony payments will be stupendous. Poor little Archie.

At least we will be spared from more announcements that there will be no announcements!

Anne and Edward have managed to balance their public life and private lives and so have Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips but living quietly under the radar is not part of Meghan’s plan. They ordered all their “stock” in March and were supposed to be working with the RF to step back until they unleashed their bombshell.

maddyone Sun 12-Jan-20 17:52:30

SirChenjin, all of your posts on this subject reflect my opinion exactly, and I suspect, the opinions of a great many of other people in the UK.

jo1book Sun 12-Jan-20 17:50:57

I can't see how this dual role of a foot in two lands will work? I don't think M can bear this Country any longer and I cannot see her coming back - especially with a baby that the Queen has a claim upon. He will have to go to school so they have to settle somewhere - and it wont be London and I bet he isn't down for Eton.

maddyone Sun 12-Jan-20 17:49:17

Precisely Lemon.
Meghan was welcomed by the majority of the British people, they were happy that the little boy who walked behind his mother’s coffin had found a beautiful, lively woman to love him. They hoped for them to be happy. Perhaps we all ignored some of the soundings coming from across the pond, people who had known Meghan who stated bluntly that she drops people as soon as they no longer are useful to her, stories of sending her wedding ring back to her ex husband (very cruel) and her abandonment of her sick, if foolish father (cruel) and that from young adulthood Meghan craved fame and wealth, and was looking for a wealthy English man. And so on. But we all wanted Harry to be happy, and were happy for him. The wedding was a huge success, despite the strangeness of her having only her mother and celebrities as guests, despite Harry having never met her father (he still hasn’t) and despite the reported Catherine/Meghan tiff, and despite the disagreement over which tiara she would wear (what Meghan wants, Meghan gets.) Indeed, what Meghan wants, Meghan gets, and it’s my opinion that what she wants now is to isolate Harry from his family, just as she is isolated from hers, and she wants to make millions from trading on the SussexRoyal name. She has her fame and wealth now, but will she make Harry happy long term? Will he enjoy being estranged from his brother, and far away from his family? Will he be happy with a celebrity lifestyle, having more or less given up his birthright and his country? My guess is no, but I hope that he will be, because I remember the little boy walking behind his mother’s coffin.

It's very interesting that you seem to know exactly what's in The Mail Gagajo although you wouldn't even so much spit on it let alone read it!
At least what you think is in The Mail although you must read it to know much of what goes into that extreme right-wing rag

I'm very working class
Oh, that hadn't come across at all before now in your posts. Sorry if I have misread you until now.

I think, like many of us M0nica has said she reads your bête noir occasionally and other rags including the Guardian occasionally too.
People do like to read diverse publications in order to make up their own minds.

SirChenjin Sun 12-Jan-20 17:41:21

I agree lemongrove

I think that the RF’s existence relies heavily on the goodwill of the people of the UK. Whilst we obviously don’t know what the terms of this move/not move to Canada is, we do know that there is now a Sussex Royal brand that enables them to capitalise on the royal name to make eye watering amounts of money while they eschew the more mundane parts of royal duty such as opening community centres that us plebs use - and that is grating. I don’t think the younger generation will be quite so forgiving or accepting of this behaviour.

GagaJo Sun 12-Jan-20 17:35:49

jolbook, the press were doing it already.

GagaJo Sun 12-Jan-20 17:35:16

If you're happy to read Nazi News MOnica, thats your choice. That paper hasn't changed it's perspective. It merely keeps it on the right side of legal.

Just don't pretend it's impartial. You are getting bias worse than that of Fox News.

I'm VERY working class. I'm not superior. But I'm not a bigot. Much of what goes into that extreme right-wing rag is.

jo1book Sun 12-Jan-20 17:32:07

The press behave this this because the gauntlet was thrown down when this pair decided to sue. Big mistake.

lemongrove Sun 12-Jan-20 17:02:40

I think a lot of people are angry or at least feel strongly, that Harry and Meghan have been given so much goodwill since even before the wedding, and they now see two people who live the good life wanting to leave and live in Canada to enjoy
A celebrity lifestyle whilst slagging off the rest of the RF, the media here and uncle tom cobbley and all.
They also, rightly, wonder if they will have to fund or partly fund their new lifestyle abroad.

trisher Sun 12-Jan-20 16:53:46

So why is everybody so incensed lemon Have they proof that they will have to pay for H&M? Have they evidence that it was never discussed in the RF? Have they some sort of special insight into the minds of either H or M? no they are simply regurgitating what they have heard or read in MSM and adding a little vitriol of their own. I've no idea why. I don't know H&M. I don't care about them. I do care that a biased and inflamatory press seem to be able to say anything and be believed and no one seems to question why they behave like this.

lucywinter Sun 12-Jan-20 16:45:46

That law quoted in this thread, does it include great-grandchildren? Only, the Queen's actual grandchildren are all above minor-hood(if that's a word) now.

lemongrove Sun 12-Jan-20 16:44:07

trisher.....you are off on a wild goose chase/conspiracy theory.
SirC is absolutely right.
I’m a republican, no fan of having a RF, certainly not taken in by soap opera doings etc as you imply people are.The facts of the matter is that surprisingly ( to most of the public) with their amazing and privileged lifestyle, Harry and Meghan are wanting to cut and run.Doing it in a childish way and no doubt hoping for continued support, both in cash and emotion from us all, while wanting no royal duties and to live outside the UK for a good part of the time.
It is a blow for the RF and constitution and will have to be sorted out, but it’s a big thing and naturally takes over news items.

Sparkling Sun 12-Jan-20 16:41:09

Let them support themselves they are billionnaures, leave uk for good, she will get rid of Harry within a couple of years when she has completely broken him. Givenupntitles, Frogmore and royal futures of any sort. In a few years Harry will need his family more than ever.

SirChenjin Sun 12-Jan-20 16:39:20

Let’s leave the DM out of this. I don’t read that rubbish but the DM is by no means the only paper or news outlet reporting the very questionable behaviour of H & M.

M0nica Sun 12-Jan-20 16:36:59

gagajo if you are so superior you cannot bear to touch a paper ordinary people read, no wonder you are so lacking in understanding of how ordinary people respond to issues.

No wonder Labour lost the recent election.

SirChenjin Sun 12-Jan-20 16:34:02

Or perhaps trisher, to use more of the quote, the oppressed creatures are sighing at the sheer gall and nonsense from the couple?

trisher Sun 12-Jan-20 16:13:35

That's why it is like religion veganstock it requires some sort of a belief system to support it. Otherwise you would just say 'who cares?' and not turn out to pay homage to whichever royal happens to be in favour at the time.
M0nica I'm quite prepared to accept I may have unexamined beliefs and ideas. I would hope I look at most things fairly closely and can tell the difference between fact and opinion. Opinion being something I can either accept or reject. However as you say we may all be gullible to certain things. And pointing out that the RF is a sort of opiate is of course just my opinion.
Thinking of them as a "constant" is a bit misleading. I suppose the institution is constant but since 1700 we have had the Stuarts (died out), the House of Hanover (because we didn't want Catholics) and The Saxe-Coburgs (who became the Windsors in 1917) then there's the D of Windsor blip. Not exactly constant any of it.

vegansrock Sun 12-Jan-20 15:38:28

But royal dynasties come and go they aren’t a “constant”. The hereditary principle really isn’t one that can be defended in the 21st century - we used to believe they were some sort of divine beings - and after all there’s no guarantee you won’t get a mad / dim/ selfish/ bad one - and we’ve had all of those in the past.

SirChenjin Sun 12-Jan-20 15:34:24

Weren’t there certain members of the RF (and their close friends) who supported the Nazis? Perhaps that’s another example of badly behaving Toyals...

Callistemon Sun 12-Jan-20 15:31:34

Even the Guardian thought it was ridiculous to keep harping on about that brief period of time. The Mirror supported the Blackshirts too.
www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2011/dec/06/dailymail-oswald-mosley

But we all have our prejudices I suppose.
Mine is against the Sun.

Callistemon Sun 12-Jan-20 15:27:30

Did the DM support the Nazis?
That must have been about 90 years ago; you must be older than you seem to be Gagajo!

Mind you, I wouldn't read the Sun after what they did.

GagaJo Sun 12-Jan-20 14:56:00

I wouldn't spit on a paper that supported the Nazis, MOnica, let alone read it.
