As a mixed race woman I was so rooting for Megan to do well in the royal family. I loved the wedding and thought she was everything, now however I can’t stand the women! From the dad debarcle , to flying private jets around the world, then preaching climate change to the rest of us! Something just seems so fake now when she speaks and I do not agree that the media have been racist at all (apart from Danny Bakers stupid stupid tweet!!)
Like all royals she had to take the rough with the smooth, but a lot of the stories she handed to them on a plate!
I think they are right to step down , the royal family do not need them but 100% they should not now be funded by tax payers.
Completely agree. Some right wing press (looking at Rachel Johnson!) have made racist comments which were rightly challenged both by the royals and the public. I think the 'racist card' (if I can call it that) has been played to scare media/people off.
Having slept on it, I remain they can't have their cake and eat it. If they want to go, go, relinquish everything - including Frogmore/any funded UK base, remove yourselves from the line of succession and revoke the Sussex/Windsor/Mountbatten-Windsor/Wales names with it. The only risk I can see is that regardless, Harry remains a grandson, son, brother and uncle of current/future monarchs and dare I say it, a target to unsavoury characters who may blackmail/kidnap/harm him and Archie - don't forget the attempt to kidnap Princess Anne. So, they'll need security which should match those given to others royals, but I don't believe we - directly through the sovereign grant or indirectly via Duchy of Cornwall/other means - should solely pay.
On one hand, I'm glad I'm able just to voice my worthless opinion online, on the other, I'd love to be party to all conversations within the various courts.
I feel happy for Harry to a certain degree as he always hated the limelight BUT it is the way they have announced it and the way his wife has isolated him from the rest of the family.
I recall seeing an interview with Harry where he admitted he wanted to walk away but then realised he could use his status as a force for good. I think it was linked to the Invictus Games. Oh how things change!
