Zenchick hope this makes sense
Had they sorted out something with HMQ, Prince Charles etc, before they announced they were stepping back because they wanted a quieter life for their family, less press intrusion, more charity work with other charities around the world, I for one would have wished them all the luck in the world & thought no more of it.
But they didn’t, they announced in Jan they were going & they did it all in on Instagram! “This is what is going to happen“ “this is what we expect” “We will withdrawn from official duties & make lots of money” “whilst getting our security paid for”
In so doing they apparently blindsided the rest of the family, & very much disrespected two 90+ year olds in the process. It’s really grown up behaviour, like picking fights on Facebook
They are dealing with an institution that has run for hundreds of years, it isn’t going to change just because they demand things their own way. It has its way of doing things and expectations set upon it, ie you can’t make millions of dollars selling the Royal Family “brand“.
They are not the Beckhams, or the Clooneys, Members of the RF do not make millions selling aftershave, perfume, dresses coffee etc etc. Hence why they were prevented from using “SussexRoyal” '
The RF have to be seen to be impartial, they stay above politics, they are not commercialised, & you are either a working Royal or your not, there is no half way house because Royalty & Celebrity are two completely different animals
They said they wanted to step back, withdraw from public life, set up a charity, do lots of good things. However it seems a lot of their ideas are aimed at making themselves a lot of money, different from what they said they were going to do. ie not courting press attn, leaking stories & try to make lots of money using their link to the RF. Hence why Duke & Duchess is constantly being rammed down everyone’s throats
Does anyone know Is this a charity they are launching or a money making platform?
I think some people see them as having abandoned the country, (there is this weird image of a 12 year old walking behind his mothers coffin & that seems to be the image stuck in people’s heads in relation to Harry) but even so they stuck 2 fingers up & left, whilst making lots of noise about how they are victims in all this.
They blame us for being racist, & blame the press who have called them out for their shady, tone deaf behaviour. This appears to be the reason behind their refusal to co-operate with the press, whilst over shadowing a 94 year olds birthday, & possibly trying to paint themselves in a good light because of the court case
They don’t like being challenged on the glaringly obvious mistakes, ie the rest of the story.
Buckets full of dishonesty, hypocrisy, & the newspapers called them out on it, ie sprout on about saving the planet whilst taking 4 private jets in less than a week. Abandoning the annual Marine Memorial Ceremony so they can shmoose with a load of very rich people & network which added to the belief their plan is not to go & live a nice quiet life, but to become it appears very, very rich. Posting pictures and forgetting to mention the elephants was tethered & drugged (if I remember rightly!)
How can you post memes about being kind to others, when your own apparent behaviour falls far short in many peoples eyes. How do you expect people to take you seriously! Practice what you preach and all that!
There currently appears to be a Grand Canyon size hole in the RF, & people are shocked & surprised by what is going on, especially given the closeness of the two princes, I‘m pretty sure the real Harry has been hidden very well by slick PR up until this point, hence the surprise.
It has also become apparent that the plan never was to disappear & live quietly as they said, but to throw themselves out to the wolves in celebrity land & make lots of money. They are more at risk of being papped etc in the US than they are here in the UK, & they could have done so much good, but it appears the green folding stuff is more important.
In amongst all this there is a pandemic, killing thousands & everything that goes with this whole new world we are living in. The thing is they don’t actually appear to have noticed thats happening. They continue to make it all about them, & now we have papped photos which despite their protestations that they weren’t papped, were! The only thing being fed there was the ego.
The way they have handled all this, even if you just base it’s on just their Instagram posts is totally tone deaf to what is going on around them & the level of entitlement & disrespect is jaw dropping.
its a right bloody mess!
Love that the Daily Mail have changed their headline from this...
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were joined by their 11-month-old son Archie Mountbatten-Windsor to speak to Her Majesty this afternoon, a spokesman said.

To this - if you click on above link, the headline now reads...
Privacy-obsessed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle rush to tell their favourite media about birthday Zoom chat with the Queen and Archie - even though Palace said all Royals’ should keep their calls discreet.
Looks like the gloves are off! Mess with the media? Mistake, big mistake!
I clicked the link before I read the rest of your post! Am now choking here!! That’ll teach me! Bahahaha!
