Oh dear Harry and Meghan

In this morning’s DT
THE Duke of Sussex has been duped into speaking about his decision to quit the Royal Family by hoaxers pretending to be Greta Thunberg, it was claimed last night.
The Duke was pranked by Russian jokers who convinced him he was speaking to the teenage climate activist and her father, according to The Sun. He alluded to tensions between his wife and himself, and the rest of the Royal family and also criticised Donald Trump, who he said “has blood on his hands.
The two phone calls were reportedly made to the Duke at his rented home on Vancouver Island, Canada, on New Year’s Eve and January 22, by Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexey Stolyarov, known as Vovan and Lexus
Do you all remember how “Sheik gate” put an end to Sophie Wessex’s career plans? I fear that without the protection of a Royal Press Officer Harry risks being a bit of “an innocent abroad “

Perhaps paddyann is from a family where they were royal
courtiers

Don’t most people send emails when they think of them?

I’ve had many insomniac bosses who would send emails as soon as they woke up or if they had a thought at 3 AM. Do you tar all of them the same way?

Ellianne Sat 28-Mar-20 19:29:48

Well not me, Summerlove. I was a boss with over 60 staff and was courteous enough not to trouble them with requests out of hours.

Annie ???
Meghan couldn't keep her staff because her attitude and Prince Harry changed from an easy going employer to a dictatorial ogre. I imagine he learnt his callous treatment of his family, particularly his grandparents from his wife as this was certainly never in evidence before his marriage ! I think this will become another tragedy for PH when this wretched woman dumps him and takes their little boy with her. What a fool he's been, but its no good blaming the RF or the public , the blame is entirely of his own making.

Summerlove Sat 28-Mar-20 19:50:52

Just be cause an email is sent at 3 am, doesn’t mean it needs to be responded to then.

But I’m sure you knew that

Anniebach Sat 28-Mar-20 20:06:48

I agree Jabber he is not a 12 year old now, I feel so sorry for
his father and brother, they must be worried. Gosh he has brass nerve , dumping his family but taking their money

Bridgeit Sat 28-Mar-20 20:27:06

Gosh it’s amazing , here are we clucking old hens worrying & fussing over the wisdom of H marrying M, just like our Mothers did for us & just as we have for our own children .
What’s that old saying , Better to have loved & lost than never to have loved at all’
I wonder which hurts the most , to marry the loved one & it goes T- - ts up, or to not marry them & be instantly miserable.

And having mother say 'I told you so, I always said he/she was no good'

A million times multiplied!

Anniebach Sat 28-Mar-20 20:37:04

I don’t know, I think the former , being widowed was so
painful, he didn’t choose to die, but if he dumped me for someone else or to further his career or tried to cut me off
from my family , yes then the former

eazybee Sat 28-Mar-20 20:53:33

As Gigi said: 'I would rather be miserable with you than without you.'
or:
'He's your fella and you love him
That's all there is to that.'

There may be a number of reasons why H+M have relocated to LA but I’m struggling to understand why they wouldn’t have stayed squirrelled away on Vancouver Island for a few months longer, given the more dangerous situation in LA at the moment.

Calendargirl Sun 29-Mar-20 13:58:25

Perhaps their landlord wanted his property back maddyone.

merlotgran Sun 29-Mar-20 14:00:34

Maybe the bloke whose mansion they scrounged wanted it back?

Even if Meghan wants to be near her mother (understandable) why would they take Archie into a coronavirus hot spot?

Now let me think.....hmm

Meghan's international profile?

eazybee Sun 29-Mar-20 14:03:17

Think they fled to avoid paying taxes in two countries, not sure where I read that.
I too thought how odd to move from that house in that beautiful location, could almost believe that it was preferable to Frogmore Cottage and could imagine it would suit H.
But that's not what it is about, is it.

Calendargirl Sun 29-Mar-20 14:03:24

Well, after Tuesday, they will be on their own.

sodapop Sun 29-Mar-20 14:03:49

Yes I thought that as well maddyone Maybe this was the plan all along and the rental period was up in Canada. I wonder how the UK security service is working now with no travelling allowed. Officers must be trapped in L.A. with them. Time for M & H to employ their own security firm now.

Anniebach Sun 29-Mar-20 14:04:05

They are sticking to their plan , London to Canada to LA
known as the US Home of Film industry

maddyone Sun 29-Mar-20 14:08:01

Yes, as I said, there could be a number of reasons why they moved. But let us not forget that next week they cease to be working royals and their Canadian security was due to end. I have seen that they are now asking for USA protection on the grounds that Harry is an internationally protected figure. I think they forgot that they are no longer working royals and so are no longer eligible to be afforded that luxury.

Calendargirl Sun 29-Mar-20 14:13:53

If they are now asking USA for protection, Meghan might regret her comments about Donald Trump, and the no wedding invite!

maddyone Sun 29-Mar-20 14:18:50

I’m not convinced that Meghan either knows or understands the word regret. Probably Harry does, but insufficiently to change his behaviour.

Anniebach Sun 29-Mar-20 14:26:15

Surely Trump will ask her if she is OK

Smileless2012 Sun 29-Mar-20 14:26:49

Annie your post yesterday "Gosh he has brass nerve, dumping his family but taking their money". Sadly as we know only to well he's not the only one.

SueDonim Sun 29-Mar-20 14:31:19

I’ve seen in the news today that Harry could be given diplomatic status so that a Green Card can be expedited for him. That’s so unfair on the many others who abide by the rules and wait, sometimes for years, to get a Green Card.

eazybee Sun 29-Mar-20 15:15:11

Surely Trump will ask her if she is OK

Love it annie!

Anniebach Sun 29-Mar-20 15:17:14

Smileless. Who else has dumped the royal family and taken
their money ?
