I have no problem with them "carving out a new role" - it's been clear for a while that they weren't happy with their lives as they were.
I have a big problem with the way they have announced this - disrespectful and deceitful are the words that spring to mind.
It's a real shame - Meghan was a breath of fresh air at first and Harry seemed so happy. Good luck to them - I hope they can do what they would like.
I must admit I can't see exactly how it's going to work - it does seem a bit of a logistical nightmare. So they still want Prince Charles to foot their bills - and they qualify for year round protection from the Met. How does that work when they are in North America? When police forces are having their budgets cut and basic police coverage is cut back - but they have to provide security for a couple who want to live abroad and be free from the Royal Family.
They have been fiercely and often unjustly criticised but that doesn't mean all criticism is unjustified. I think this narrative that they have had no support from the BRF is ridiculous and untrue and grossly unfair to the Queen and Prince Charles.
Egotistical, self-important and petulant with absolutely no awareness of what they look like in some situations eg. standing in a shanty town complaining how hard you have it or taking a private jet to go to a gathering on the environment...
Harry is fiercely protective and has said he doesn't wish his wife to be commoditised like his mother was or to lose her to the same dark forces. The press can be really, really tough and positively nasty and there is no doubt Diana suffered greatly - and leaving Harry deeply traumatised. But he's an adult now and he needs to realise his mother wasn't killed by the press, she died because she was in a speeding car driven by a drunk man and she didn't wear a seat belt.
So good luck but I don't think they have started off on the right foot.
