Why Canada? Why does it keep being called North America?
Probably all explained on the other thread but I haven't read through that one.
I can't see that pair being able to escape completely and what's this about the Sussex brand?
Sounds rather naff.
I think the queen has her own built in survival system. She has her animals after all.

I see the word ‘gossip’ has appeared twice in the OP.

Why have we got another thread about the same thing ?

Sorry Ladymuck, yes. I didn't notice your comment on the other thread.
I suppose if they were given a UK appointment that would be different though. For example, I don't know if it would apply if he were to be made Governor General or work from an Embassy.

If they left yes ok fine. But with no strings.

As it is 6months here (we pay?) 6 months Canada (Queen/Prince Charles/Duch of Cornwall pay. which ultimately means us again) theyre not going to turn their backs on that arrangement.

So everyone looses except them!

Google it?

I asked on a previous thread whether they were actually allowed to leave Britain and live wherever they wish. Don't immigration laws apply to the royals? No-one answered me.

They could only stay for 6 months I think as visitors. Maybe that's why they said they intended to split their year?

I read a comment yesterday from a Canadian taxpayer who called them illegal refugees, stating that Canadians do not want to have to fund their security etc. I'm sure there will be lots of discussion about that on both sides of the Atlantic.

Great idea. They may be happier.
Harry would be away from his brother which he (according to gossip) wants.
Evidently the Canadians are excited about it so Meghan might get the adulation she craves without having to go to places like Africa and if the gossip is true, she’ll have achieved her aim of parting Harry from his family.
Lots of people here would be happier, especially if they are not taking money from British tax payers for their security and standing in their own two feet To earn money. (Not sure I believe that bit)

I’d be happy, because hopefully we wouldn’t be constantly faced with news about them in every newspaper or on every TV channel.
I feel sorry for the Queen. Like many stories on here she won’t see so much of her grandson/great grandson because they’re moving so far away but lots of us know about that.
