Oh dear Harry and Meghan

Yes Ellianne and some here still believe she was murdered !

I agree Annie, Diana was for many people a legend, especially Americans.

Smileless I don’t think it’s past it’s sell by date for the Diana
fans

The Duke of Windsor received an allowance from 1936 when
he abdicated until his brother King George died in 1952, it
was then stopped

Surely that has a limited shelf life though Annie I mean it's already past it's sell by date isn't it.

It will last as long as he keeps talking of his mother. He knows
this will bring awwwwww.

Thank you Annie.

I doubt it will last that long eazybee. Any interest seems to be outweighed by anger at how they have, and continue to behave.

With so much going on, now is not the time, but when this is over I hope there's a review of the arrangements with regard to their security and the funding they receive from the tax payer is revoked.

I think it's in the region of 8 million a year, which in the scheme of things may seem like a drop in the ocean but think of what good use that money could be put too.

Do you think the interest in them will last beyond a few years, now they are no longer royal and can't offer exclusive visits to royal palaces and functions and introductions to 'personages'?
They are neither of them particularly talented.

Thank you maddy

I am so sorry Smileless it must cause hurt for you x

Thanks maddyone. Sorry Annie I was posting my own thoughts and not clarifying them.

I remember posting on the first H & M thread about the similarities between M and our ES's wife. I could see it coming and it was and is, like watching our own experience played out on the public stage.

It was!!!

Annie
It means estranged son. Very sadly Smileless has an estranged son.

Forget that her name was Wallace wasn’t it......

Mrs Simpson?

Smileless. I am so sorry but what / who is ES ?

Haha, yes, I think they could do with some lessons in diplomacy.

I don’t think Meghan would get diplomatic immunity as she’s a US citizen. Maybe it’s to do with their security detail. Tbh, I don’t know why I’m even commenting, I’ve lost interest in them both!

I was referring to our ES Annie.

Yes. Why on earth should they have diplomatic immunity. They're not diplomats - in fact the opposite really!

Jane10 yes I know that Jane, I meant Prince Charles had a Coronavirus test because he started to show symptoms, but he remained at home. As I understand it, none of us would be tested whilst at home with symptoms, we would only be tested if we were admitted to hospital. Perhaps I didn’t explain what I meant clearly, sorry.
In fact the same has applied to Boris and other members of government, they’ve had tests but remain at home. We won’t get a test unless we’re admitted to hospital. Well I have no resentment about that, but I do resent Harry being given diplomatic immunity, if he is given it, when H+M very clearly and publicly stated that they wanted to be private citizens. So why don’t they get on with it and be private, ordinary citizens?

He leaves his family , the U.K. and charities to protect his wife
and child and moves to LA! He does the dramatics so well, as
did his mother. Play the victim, keep the money and stay on
the front pages.

maddyone I don't think people are automatically in hospital if they have Coronavirus. If the symptoms are mild as Prince Charles's seems to be its quite right that he's at home.

I think they treated Canada very badly. Publicly sucking up thanking them just because they took an extended break at Vancouver Island? Turning up at Canada House to feather their nest before announcing Megxit? Expecting Canadian tax payers to foot half their security bill?

Then making a hasty retreat just as the borders are about to close - probably because none of their demands were met.

They won't find Trump a soft touch. At least I hope not. He might like the Queen but H&M were extremely rude to him when he visited Britain and made no secret of their dislike.

Meghan is an American citizen but why should Harry get any special favours?

Does that mean that M automatically gets it also? Unbelievable

Yes, it is absolutely unfair. Harry has ditched the royal family, except for their money of course, and so he should behave exactly like any other person. It’s seems he/they want a foot in both camps, all the privileges and none of the boring duties. I’m heartily sick of them both, and their precious behaviour. It’s enough to make me think about becoming a republican!
I don’t resent Prince Charles getting a Coronavirus test, even though he’s not in hospital as the rest of us would be, but I absolutely resent Harry being given diplomatic status, it’s immoral in my opinion. Trump appears to love the Queen so will probably do whatever they ask just because he likes the Queen so much.
