Harry & Meghan stepping back from RF

What ? , it isn’t April 1st , perhaps Charles is paying them to
b off.

Yes I've just seen this on sky news.

Is it definite? I thought it was just speculation.

No they've issued a statement.

Are they planning a seperate court ? she would love that.

I trust he will give up his title and Frogmore

It's been announced.

Not surprised. Wise. People have been saying RF needs slimming down for years. Press would continue to have a go at their every move. Look how long Charles has been waiting for his turn!

Charles is heir to the throne, Harry is a minor royal , he can go no further and Megan will always have to walk behind Camilla and Kate.

well
Now that they are stepping back as people have been calling for them to do, what will the next complaint about them be?

Well let’s see how they do this. Yes I’ve just heard about it.

Does it mean they charge for appearances? I can't see them staying out of the limelight for long.

Doe this mean Harry gives up his rights of succession? I know he’s not very high up the list, but you never know what quirk of fate could propel him to the throne. If he gives that up, we will be spared a Queen Meghan or an eventual King Archie.Thank heaven for that. (I’m talking about names, not people.)

Tremendous news! Well done and best of luck guys.

They'll want the best of all worlds and the British taxpayer will be paying for it.

I m very glad for them I think they re a lovely couple who’ve taken masses of crap from the press, the media and people in general I m so glad they ve made this decision and I hope they have a lovely easy going life away from the glaring staring eyes of Joe Public
Good luck to them, the best decision for their little family

Harry was never going to succeed once William had offspring.

I expect them to retire to relative obscurity in USA, and genuinely wish them all the best.

The announcement I heard was that they were looking to spend an extended period of time in Canada.

Good for them! I wish them luck.

Just came across this article, www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-51039925
fine example of how things are reported!

It said they had worked hard to be "self-financing"

Just finished reading books on Prince Phillip and another on Prince Charles, very informative and puts a lot of things into perspective.

This young couple, Meghan and Harry, are just starting out on married life with Archie - give them a break for heavens sake. I wish them all the luck in the world.

I wonder just how delighted the Canadians will really be? Does Trudeau want to share the limelight? Think they should take care of their own security.

Yes, they definitely should pay for their own security and I hope they will not be continuing to take money from the British taxpayer.

Good luck to them as they try to build a different kind of life for themselves, whilst still supporting the Queen.
I hope it works well.
Our monarchy does need modernising and maybe these two are in a position to start that process.
