They might. If they're allowed by the Queen and the other relevant players to do so. And frankly, that's a big if. Just as if I waltzed into the office one day and told my boss that I didn't like my job, didn't like the oversight, didn't like how the company was run but wanted to keep all of my perks and benefits and dictate to them how and when I was going to perform some aspects of my job. And I expect them to fall in line posthaste. That just simply wouldn't fly and I'd be out the door on my behind so fast it could give me whiplash. Harry and Meghan are already being given quite a bit of leeway in that those higher than them in the hierarchy are agreeing to hear them out and negotiate with them. So maybe they'll do what they have decided they'll do and maybe they won't, that would be up to the bosses and despite what they might think, they aren't the bosses.
The difference is that your boss can probably easily replace you, the RF cannot go out and hire another Royal prince to take Harry’s place.
Heck, when I told my employer I was retiring from my very stressful job a few months ago, they begged me to stay - they desperately needed people with my skills, but the work environment had become so toxic I wasn’t willing to stay no matter what they offered.
When William and Catherine first married they did not become senior Royals, instead they lived in Wales. Then their KP apartment was remodeled for them, they did not become senior Royals. Then the Queen gave them Anmer and William was a helicopter pilot, again delaying becoming a senior Royal. My point is that William and Catherine had years of not being senior Royals while being lavished with gifts (2 remodeled residences) and fully supported by Charles. I wasn’t bothered by the choices the Cambridges made to delay stepping up to the plate nor did I complain that his father and grandmother supported the couple despite their refusal to become full time working members of the firm. Thus, it doesn’t seem out of line to me that Harry and Meghan should likewise be supported by his father for a time even if they aren’t full time Royals.
I am astounded by some of the irrational fantasies I’ve been reading, imputing feelings and reactions to various members of the RF, for example, assuming the Sussexes are leaking things to the press or making threats and the like - none of these wild suppositions or claims of conspiracies appear to have any evidentiary foundation.
One thing I’ve learned is that with the Royals we may not know the ‘real’ behind the scenes story for decades, if ever. For example, I would have assumed that Phillip would have been livid at Diana, yet his letters show he was quite sympathetic to her. He may likewise have a similar sympathy for outsider Meghan and for his grandson Harry, particularly as Harry is being forced into a mold that doesn’t fit - after all, Phillip took a lengthy jaunt on the Britannia to get away from the pressures of his role - to the point that the press was questioning his and the Queen’s marriage.
We don’t know what discussions have already occurred, not that long ago the press was reporting that Harry and Meghan were going to be shipped to Africa because William and Catherine and the courtiers were concerned that the Sussexes were too popular. I didn’t believe those stories in the press based on their unnamed sources just as I don’t believe 90% of the click bait being pumped out now.
I find it very sad that there is so much malice directed at this couple based on such wild and factually unsupported conjecture and supposition.
