M&H didn't let me down.

Have you Bridgeit?

Have you ever wondered what you would have done, if he had ? ?

Indeed we do Bridgeit, but when I took my leap of faith many years ago, my husband didn’t try to persuade me to abandon my family, my job, or my country. E

Thats much like the rest of us & our families, there aren’t any guarantees , most of us take a leap of faith when Cupid fires his arrow?

I agree maddyone, I can't believe that he'll be happy long term. Seeing the RF today, you could sense that some one was missing. Very sad!

I think you’re right ReadyMeals, so sorry to hear that this has happened to you. It may be that Meghan really believes that Harry will be better off without his family, but I think there’s very little evidence that Harry’s family were in any way toxic to him. All photographs of Harry (not including his mother’s funeral) with his family show a happy looking young man, but more recent photos show a cross and unhappy young man, except for those at his wedding and with Archie.
I don’t know whether Meghan is unbalanced or not, but I do believe she’s persuaded Harry to abandon his family and his life, and his country.

I suspect Harry will be back.

Not unbalanced, sorry but I think she is very self centred

So do you reckon she's a bit unbalanced already?

Megan also cut off from her husband and then cut off the celebrity chef she was in a relationship with when she met Harry.

Well something more subtle and less consciously destructive than that. In other sections of this site we have discussed adult children declaring their parents "toxic" and cutting them off. Some of the posters were themselves children who did this to their own parents while others of us were parents who had it done to them - and of course the toxic people don't only have to be parents. Well supposing Meghan honestly thought her father and other relatives were toxic to her.. And supposing she felt better after cutting them out. Then she may honestly have believed that whatever was bothering Harry was probably something to do with his family, so she recommended he did the same. This could have been done with sincere intentions to help Harry, even though it was probably misguided

I find it very difficult to understand how Harry could reject his entire family and former life, but the fact that Meghan has rejected her family except for her mother, suggests that Meghan finds it fairly easy to cut people out of her life, and she may therefore have encouraged Harry in his actions. I think Meghan probably intended to participate fully in royal life, but she found it didn’t suit her, and so falling back on previous behaviours, she decided to cut it out of her life.

Harry the soldier, the fun chap who raced with Usain Bolt, who played with the children at Sentebale, who joined with
William and Kate to form ‘Heads Together’, who loved football and Rugby, who got the queen to take part in a sketch, who loved shooting and stalking ?

but Megan saw the inner Harry who wanted to cut off from his father, brother and extended family to lecture on global
warming, American law !

No I think Meghan fully intended to knuckle down to it. I think as she got to know Harry better (remember they had not really had a very long relationship before marriage) I think she came to the realisation that HE needed some space to find a new Harry within himself. Maybe they will be back after a time. I hope so.

The fact that H+M started to do royal duties and engagements and became full time royals and that Meghan said she wanted to hit the ground running, suggests that Harry both wanted to be a full time royal, and that he explained to Meghan what was going to happen. It is perfectly possible that despite this, that Meghan did not truly understand what this meant, as she is a citizen of a country that doesn’t have royalty.
I do not know what was in Meghan’s mind, or whether, as has been speculated, that she never intended to stay the course, but she didn’t really give it a fair go did she? And why has Harry done a 360 degree turn, and gone from working alongside his wife as a full time royal, to total rejection of his/their expected role? It’s all very strange. As far as I am aware, Harry didn’t appear to want to reject his role previous to Meghan, and he was involved in various mental health and armed forces charities, and he appeared enthusiastic about this work, prior to Meghan.

Lol Suziewoozie, there is no knowing the depths of Meghan's plots. That's quite sad about Peter and Autumn though, but maybe they just drifted apart. Maybe the reasons will emerge later.

I know Annie, I think he's got one hell of a nerve!! Surely he must have made it clear to Meghan before they married exactly what his commitments to his family and to this country were?! Perhaps he didn't! suspecting that she would walk if he did!!

Agree POGS and Maddy.

Jabber , he walked away from his father and brother but still
wants their money for his extravagant life style.

Just checked royal appointments for March, nothing for Harry , that’s 4 months off work.

POGS,
Some people dislike the system of monarchy and appear happy that H+M’s defection might have thrown a spanner in the works. They applaud what H+M have done merely because Meghan has hit out at the royals calling them ‘toxic’ apparently. That’s because those people also believe the monarchy is toxic and they want it to be abolished.

I agree with you Jabberwok.

I agree Annie. The Sussexes could have been such a wonderful support for PC, but particularly for William, Katherine and their children in what could be a rocky road ahead of them. All their lives these brothers seemed so very fond and supportive of each other and for one of them to walk away and leave the other one, faced with the inevitable, just to get on with it seems quite inexplicable. Sad for those children too as they will never really know each other. I can't begin to understand how Prince Harry could do that to his much loved brother. However, the Duke of Windsor did it to George V1th, so I suppose lighting has struck twice! Very sad!

POGS, you hit the nail on the head there.

suziewoozie

You fascinate me I admit but I wonder if you posting out of a genuine ' feeling ' for MM or is it a case of using her to attack the Royal Family that you obviously have no good word for.?
