I knew that they wouldn't lose their titles although I'm delighted that they have lost everything else.First big post here and need to get a few things off my chest (ie. rant....)
What I don’t really understand is the reason for not officially removing the HRH. The BRF /journos quote that lessons learned from Diana (and removing her HRH) would make the BRF look churlish and spiteful. But the reasons are completely different. Diana never wanted to go into ‘business’. Diana never wanted to use her title to make money, become a billionaire etc. MM and JCMH do. They want/need their HRH/Duke/Duchess etc to fill their bank accounts. That is plain and simple. Why are the BRF refusing to acknowledge that?
Secondly, there has definitely been a media blackout on them both and parts of their lives, probably at the request of the BRF. Will the press continue to uphold that agreement? Would the BRF want them too? I imagine the press know everything about MM’s past - why agree to continue to conceal it?
There are plenty of people around with meaningless titles. In reality they mean very little.
The HRH was removed from Diana after the divorce. Smeggy will get the same treatment as Diana and Fergie when the Harkles divorce. The palace will do this so that they are seen to be fair.
As others have said it requires an act of parliament to remove the titles and our government has far too many important things to consider. They don't have time to waste on these greedy cunts.
