I think this begins the end of the BRF! Not because of Harry and Meghan but because EII is a VERY weak head of family.
It seems that the British public wants swift action on this and they are not going to get it. EII has spent her entire life avoiding confrontation, hard decisions about family until it is too late and a lot of damage has been inflicted.
As a grandmother she is right to want to do what is best for Harry and keep him happy. But as the Head of the Firm, she needs to listen to her shareholders (British Public) and take action immediately.
As the hours tick by, it is becoming obvious that they are trying to find a solution where Harry and Meghan will leave with their titles, styles and public money paid security protection in multiple countries while doing only the BRF events they want and blatantly monetizing their titles.
It seems that there is already significant public demands that they be stripped of all titles and styles and no public funds be used on them. Having them swan the world on taxpayer funds will not go down well with the public (with the impending Brexit magnifying the situation). This will create significant backlash against the BRF and it might just be too late for them to do anything to quiet the discontent.
You mistake the Queen's maturity, experience and diplomacy of which she is a master to being "weak". She isn't one to yell, stomp her foot or make rash decisions. when she does make a decision is based on many other factors than you or I living in the United States would possibly know. This also is not her decision alone. There are many more involved and much more at stake than just the BRF in this crises.
I don't agree with giving Harry and Megan everything they want because I think it would be dangerous to do so. They are loose canons and unpredictable. I think they will try to compromise, and if that doesn't work then we shall see.
