Its going to be about taxes M&H

Because trisher, the royal family are the one constant in our country. Prime ministers come and go, the political scene changes....our royals have been at the head of our society for over 1000 years. They are an institution, part of our heritage.

All these people who talk so patronisingly about the Great British Public and sneer at the Daily Mail and its readers (I am one). I would remind you that you are not a cut above us, in fact you are as much members of the herd as we are, you are just as gullible as you perceive us to be, it is just your gullibility is on different subjects, or you think it is.

I think it is Marx - but it’s ‘opium of the people’

Has there been bad behaviour or poor behaviour or behaviour that leaves a lot to be desired? Absolutely. Perhaps that’s what you mean when you say good or bad - and perhaps that’s what people get irritated, fed up or annoyed about, especially when our taxes indirectly or directly shore up this extremely wealthy family and their spouses.

Not Marx ?

So we haven't seen for decades publicity about the RF which always has a Bad Royal in it? Charles and Camilla? The Duchess of Windsor, Fergie etc etc? Some leave and some morph into Good Royals. But none of it is real and none of it makes a shred of difference to their lives or yours. Marx thought religion was the opiate of the masses, in the UK it's the RF!

Absolutely SirChenjin.

I agree with SirChenjin, I’m afraid I think you’re talking tosh Trisher. Anyway, you’re entitled to your opinion, but so is everyone else on here.

Exactly maddyone - nothing to do with some concocted good/bad RF excuse.

SirChenin is right Trisher. The public do wish them well in their new life in Canada, but NOT at the expense of selling their brand, and continuing to take massive handouts from The Duchy. And by claiming to want to continue some royal duties, no doubt the ones which give them further publicity for their brand, then I’m afraid the public don’t like that. And that much is evident from the posts on here. We are part of the public.
If H+M had simply declined the title of Duke and Duchess of Sussex, if they had said all along that they wished to live quietly in Canada, and they had gone and got on with living their life, there would have been little in the news about them. That patently is not what they want is it?

It's nothing new SirChenjin I realise that for some weird reason there are people who somehow imagine they have some sort of special relationship with the RF (that doesn't actualy exist) and for some reason they become embroiled in things that happen in the RF. But ignoring the Good Royal Bad Royal game is just ridiculous. It's been going on for decades and it bears no relation to reality. Charles was Bad Royal for a long time, so was Camilla. They morphed into Good Royals so replacements had to be found.

Ill thought

What nonsense trisher. I realise that’s the narrative you’re trying to create but the only people who have created this mess is H and M with their childish, I’ll though through flouncing while they hold continue to hold their hands out to Daddy and Granny.

Doesn't matter SirChenjin it's all a game of Good Royal Bad Royal. It sells newspapers, it distracts the public, it gives TV 'personalities' and news people work. None of it means anything but the great British public lap it up. You would expect that a few more people would have cottoned on by now.

You realise there’s a vast middle ground between what they’ve done and sneaking off?

Then you'd all be moaning they sneaked off. FFS they are adult human beings who you are at liberty to dislike but really they have a right to live their lives as they wish. Try being as brutal about someone who really deserves your ire. But it's all been done before. Really the games the press plays with the RF and the public are just unbelievable. Can't understand how anyone falls for any of it.

Has anyone told the Governor General of Canada that Harry could be after her job?

If H & M had cleared off too Canada without their announcement, -they love announcements , I am surprised there wasn’t an an announcement stating we will not make an
announcement of our move to Canada ‘ - there wouldn’t be the same press coverage.

M&H are building a new life in Canada we wish them well

As has been explained over and over and over, majority of people do wish them well in their new life - but not while they appear to be planning that new life based on cashing in on the Sussex Royal brand and handouts from the RF to give them the media coverage they so crave.

And by the way Harry wasn’t mentally ill, he was grieving.

Grief is not a mental illness.

And you don't think that in this case anyone is using their news? Suppose for example the headlines had read "M&H are building a new life in Canada we wish them well"- mm no story! No one to victimise. Prince A remains the baddie!!!

Just what I was thinking Maw

And incidentally, no one has forgotten about Prince Andrew, but we won’t hear too much about him because he’s effectively been banished from public view. That won’t be the case with H+M though, Meghan will never allow that to happen, she wants to be in the news, but only if she can control how she’s in the news.

But trisher, in all fairness, that happens all the time. One event or story overtakes another. At the moment, it’s H+M and what’s happening in Iran and who will be the Labour leader. Brexit has almost disappeared from the news, along with Prince Andrew. No doubt it’ll all return, what goes around comes around.

Ah but it helps to have a focus for the public's discontent MerylStreep and the posts on GN prove this- Bad person- Meghan Forgotten- Prince A. It's just awful that it works.
