To be honest, I’m not reading what the Cambridge’s did that was so bad. Okay, so Kate May have snubbed the Sussex’s. She’s human. William was only showing concern for Harry by telling him to slow down. I do agree with you on the men in grey, but they’ve always been awful!
She didn’t do anything that was that bad. I’m fine with her snub, because she’s human...and she and her husband had been treated badly by the Sussexes.
I've had it up to here with all this. We are in the middle of the biggest international crisis for 75 years. I do not need to hear Harry and Meghan's whingeing all over the news. I'm so sorry for the Queen and Prince Philip, who really don't need this, and for Archie, who's probably going to grow up not knowing any of his relatives apart from Doria. I'm quite sorry for Doria too: she's behaved with complete dignity throughout all this.
You left out Charles, who has to watch one son leave and a devastating rift between his sons widen, with no hope for reconciliation on the horizon
The Duke of Windsor left the RF and the RF didn't welcome him back, so why should they welcome Harry back, especially after all the things that he had said?
I think it's funny how some people think that anything negative about the Sussex is just gossip and hearsay, but anything negative about other members of the RF MUST be true.
That’s not the same thing at all. David, Edward VIII, created a devastating constitutional crisis by abdicating. He put himself before the people and forced an ill-prepared a Duke of York to take the throne. Fortunately Bertie, George VI, was an eminently decent man and became a great king, but it’s likely that his being King led to his early death.
Harry is a spoiled, whiny, entitled, demanding, immature brat - or, I should say, that’s how he’s ACTED recently. While this is a crisis technically, it’s really only so within the family - at least IMO, because the BRF is doing fine. Of course Megxit is problematic because it leaves the BRF short handed, but it’s workable. It’s completely different from the abdication crisis.
I DO completely agree with your last comment, and it’s the case especially with William and Kate.
I agree. What, please, is nasty about "this girl"?! William obviously didn´t say something like "are you serious..?!" or "are you mad? She will ruin you!" etc.
He just gave a brotherly and very proper (!) advice not to be rushed into things.
Harry expected William the same support he has given him when it was about Catherine? Well, you cannot possibly compare the 2 women... The Dss o Cambridge is a hands-on, down-to-earth person, despite her wealthy background who knows and understands what he job is. She comes out of a stable family. Markle is, like that notorious courtier (if that is true at all) correctly said, a "showgirl".
I was very sceptic when the couple got engaged and talked with my sister about it who was equally sceptic. I had the impression of a starlet with her lover or a fellow actor appearing on the red carpet for a premier or an award show rather than a soon royal-bride-to-be posing for a royal engagement photoshoot.
Although my first impression about a person never fails me, I soon got lulled in I must admit and thought, well, she could be a great breath of fresh air for the RF.
Nowadays I see I was right at the beginning. I don´t claim she is a bad person, but she is not made for Royalty; she has neither the motivation to achieve things for Britain or the Commonwealth nor the endurance to try hard enough. Perhaps if she had married in a deposed royal family, where she could do her own agenda, doing her pet charity, but without real responsibilities, things might have worked out better.
Some here suggest they might return at some point. I can only say, beware! Both Harry and Meghan are a bit like loose canons - but H is especially frail. The next strong wind or any critical remarks would put them off once more and they have not the strength nor the endurance needed to do the job. Unstable people cannot give the monarchy what it needs most: stabiity!
Right, there’s nothing nasty about it. This isn’t even about what Meghan was like, since a William hadn’t met her. It wasn’t personal - what sibling wouldn’t advise another to go slowly when it seems that perhaps the other is rushing into a serious relationship ? I’m sure William only had Harry’s best interests at heart; H had already had two long term relationships end because the women didn’t want to deal with a future as a Royal, so no doubt W hoped his brother would proceed more slowly to be sure Meghan was the “right one”. The situation with Kate was completely different, as you say, though again, this isn’t about the people K and M are. Kate and Harry had met, Kate being British understood far more about Royal life than Meghan would have, and Kate had dated William for years.
