He could have abdicated. It would have been an act of love, more than a romantic gesture, a dignified sacrifice. Instead, they used their royal status to grab everything they could and then trash talked his family.
Well said. But I suspect that Markle’s morality is rather more ruthless and utilitarian than Mrs Simpson’s, who stuck with Edward VIII even when he was the Duke of Windsor. Should “Harry” relinquish his titles, you wouldn’t see Markle for a cloud of make-up.

Speaking of Edward the VIII reminds me of the old saying “He who learns not from from history is destined to repeat it’ And look how a downtrodden led by a lead in the hand of an American divorcee he ended up. The Queen mother must be turning in her grave like a washing machine on fast spin. Good riddance to the pair of them; her star will dim much faster than she knows

He isn’t Edward VIII, he is Paris of Troy – the prince who invited the Trojan horse that razed his father’s kingdom to the ground.

Their celebration of privacy – at last! – was announced, at length, on the Oprah Winfrey show. 17 million viewers in the US alone. H&M are whiny immature hypocrites who, if they’d wanted a degree of anonymity could have found it with 1. a small, private wedding 2. leaving all the royal millions, titles, uniforms, behind 3. shutting their gobs. Harry is too flaccid to make any decisions on his own so he follows the sanctimonious Meghan to Montecito, CA and a mansion with 17 bathrooms and her rescued chickens.

‘In an age of human rights the contortions that the royal family must endure – the lack of privacy, the global attention – are ludicrous.’
So congratulations to Harry and Meghan on escaping all that lack of privacy and global attention, then.

Meghan was the catalyst for Harry to live a life of victim hood. He wasn’t really a believable victim just on his own, he needed racial credibility and he certainly could not get that all on his own. But an American actress with a penchant for social justice was tailor-made for Harry to assume the status of a victim. He has now set his own child up as a victim. Who does that? Will Archie be told all his life how he could have been a prince except for his race?
It’s interesting that Harry was specifically not present when Meghan tried to make it look like Archie not getting a prince title was racially based. Because if Oprah had asked him why Archie didn’t get the title, he would have had to admit to knowing exactly why and that race had nothing to do with it.

“In Brexit, a group of old, white English people voted for the glories of an imagined past while rejecting a global, multicultural future. “The main lesson of the interview is that the UK royal family, tied to a crumbling tabloid press, is behaving much the same way. “How it works: Prince Harry detailed the symbiotic relationship between the royal family and the UK tabloids. Meanwhile, a glowing Meghan and Harry, happily ensconced in Santa Barbara luxury, are doing deals with Netflix and Spotify estimated at $100 million and $25 million respectively. “The erstwhile royals might still be reliant on media companies — but the media companies they’re reliant on are young, international, and much richer than the tabloids. “By the numbers: Netflix reaches more than 200 million subscribers; Spotify reaches more than 150 million premium subscribers and has a total user base of some 350 million. The Sun, by contrast, Britain’s biggest tabloid, has a circulation of just 1.2 million, while rival the Daily Mirror reaches less than 400,000.” Felix Salmon, author of Capital; AXIOS

Monarchy is of the Earth, energetically. It is solid and reliable and stands for order. It stands for the masculine. The same is true of a state religion, at least if it is to flourish.
Tanya Gold seems more like something of the Air and of the intuition, clever but nervously so. I’m not surprised that she cannot readily connect to our monarch, but the failure narrows her.

So many old white Englishman lost in the misty past when the sun never set on their empire…so sad.
Tell us again what a bang up success Brexit has delivered.
