Harry attending coronation alone.

What would happen if circumstance meant Harry ended up King?

VioletSky I hope people remember his Mum who was - quite literally - driven to her death while chased by media.

Yes. Meghan has been quoted as saying "We are only a plane crash away from the throne." What a disgusting thing to say.

LondonMzFitz I hope people remember his Mum who was - quite literally - driven to her death while chased by media.

But... but... The Ritz chauffeur didn't need to take on a race with the paps. He could have driven normally and not tried to out-run them. Dodi and Diana could have then left the car at their destination holding something over their faces so as not to be photographed.

They could have had a sober chauffeur.

They could all have worn seat belts.

It didn't have to end that way. Diana's UK bodyguard, Ken Wharfe, has said that there's no way he would have allowed her to leave the Ritz in the way that she did. Unfortunately he was no longer looking after her.

The Wales children are in the public eye when at public events,
balance. Will the Sussex children be denied attending any public event.

What would happen if circumstance meant Harry ended up King?

Regarding photographs of the Royal children, I don't think that the Cambridges can be happy when the press gleefully print pictures of Louis pulling faces so that he can be labelled as the cheeky one.

I think he was always going to attend. He needs it for his brand in the USA. It’s as well Meghan is staying away. The focus should be on Charles and Camilla - it’s their day.

Putting aside the family feud, he is still a member of the royal family and has an obligation to attend. I think if he had decided not to, it could be regarded as an indication that he has abdicated from his royal status. A consequence might be a change in the order of succession, with Prince Andrew being next in line for the throne, should anything happen to Prince William and all his children.

Megan was already a celebrity I suppose and thought she knew what she was getting into

But children have no say in the life they are born into

I agree with the press being involved in his mother's death leading to him having a deep hatred of them

I've never been interested in the celebrity news stuff but so many are that it's worth it for the press to literally hound people

Some celebrities successfully keep their children out of the press and those children are able to get normal jobs and move freely

NotTooOld

Is this the best outcome?

Yes.

I honestly think the British Media are guilty of whipping up a fervour in the Anti H&M / Pro W&K headlines. Meghan can do no right, Kate can do no wrong. Harry is "a traitor" (as quoted on this thread), William is a blooming saint.

And I think the British Media are guilty of distraction - do we want to see headlines of strikes, ever increasing costs of energy and food? Or play out, Eastenders style, a Royal family in conflict, the carefully chosen photographs and film of every facial tic. Which will sell papers / click bait?

We are being duped.

I hope Harry comes to the Coronation and is welcomed by the British Public that see through the current media hype. I hope people remember his Mum who was - quite literally - driven to her death while chased by media.

*dons tin hat for the hate coming my way

Meghan had a completely normal life before she married Harry. Harry spent ten years in the army and served two terms in Afghanistan, although apparently he had SAS accompanying him whenever he left the compound on duty. Do you think either would like to live as a junior doctor, a teacher, a till assistant at Poundland, or engaging in any one of a multitude of normal jobs? They didn’t ask to be born into royalty but they certainly use it to live a privileged life that real normal people could only dream of.

The Wales children are not photographed going to school, their parents not photographed on the school run.

Megan must have been thinking of the press coverage of
William and Harry when children, Diana informed the press
often.

Makes you wonder why Meghan married into the Royal family in the first place doesn’t it.

Where’s Mrs. Merton when you need her?

I feel for the children the same way I feel got Harry. None asked to be born into royalty and will never have anything resembling a normal life

Just received this in my bird watching folder

I too question how are their children better protected in America than here

Meghan pointed out
Earlier in our conversation about her goals for the life she’s creating here, she’d remarked upon how, if Archie were in school in the UK, she’d never be able to do school pickup and drop-off without it being a royal photo call with a press pen of 40 people snapping pictures.'

Meghan said:

'Sorry, I have a problem with that. That doesn’t make me obsessed with privacy. That makes me a strong and good parent protecting my child.'

Glorianny They should be able to come and go as they wish.

But they do .... and could do so even more if they didn't create such drama around themselves with the "Will they, won't they" attend the Coronation, the rudeness and arrogance of not RSVPing within the time frame, etc etc.

Oh for goodness sake.

Do you really think that the children of people who have been subjected to death threats and targeted racist abuse are safer than your average US Child?

If so you are letting your hatred of H&M cloud your capabilities for reason.

She's staying home with the children, he's making a brief visit. Honestly how can anyone rejoice over this issue? They should be able to come and go as they wish. Even if there has been a total family breakdown it shouldn't affect their ability to come into this country.
The one thing I do admire is their ability to keep their children from the public view and bring them up in a country where they are properly protected. And Archie's birthday is probably more important to both of them.

How are their children better protected in America than they would be here?

I suppose they won’t be going to a mainstream school. 🤔

The state they live in prohibits the photographing of children of celebrities www.rcfp.org/law-criminalizing-photography-celebrities-children-passed-california/#:~:text=Jerry%20Brown%20signed%20a%20bill,photograph%20the%20children%20of%20celebrities.%E2%80%A6&text=September%2027%2C%202013-,California%20Gov.,bill%20goes%20into%20effect%20Jan.
It's why you haven't seen pictures of Archie attending nursery unlike the RF children in this country.

I breathed a sigh of indifference.
