Cambridges and Sussexes breaking up their Charity work

Tilybelle: The bet is that Wiliam has seen through Miss Markle and would rather not be associated. How long do you give the Sussex marriage?

Kate and Meghan were chatting to each other in the carriage at Tropping the colour. I thought Harry looked a bit fed up. I really hope he is happy with his new family.

I think Meghan hates being upstaged by William and Kate. She perhaps thought Harry was a lot more important than he actually is.

Harry was happy to work with William and Kate, before Meghan came on the scene. The great relationship they had seems to have changed dramatically.

Meghan no doubt is whispering in Harry's ear about how wonderful ,important and world humanitarian figure he is.

Such a shame to see the very special relationship between William Kate and Harry disintegrate. I guess the Palace will still stick to the story of no falling out between the brothers! Tosh.

People with mental illnesses are ill not potty

I'll be glad that the media can no longer call them "The Fab Four". That really grated on me. They are four very different people in their 30's with families of their own - not joined at the hip, thank heavens.

One thing is certain, when the four appear together at any public event Megan’s position is a few steps behind Kate. Just as Kate’s position is a few steps behind Camilla .

Describing someone with a mental illness as 'potty' is just plain offensive.

I object to being called ‘potty’ ?

Urmston. I also think Kate hates being upstaged be Meghan. Some of her expressions when they're all out together are priceless.

I feel that the two Duchesses have very different personalities. The three that started the Charity have known each other a long time and most likely had very clear ideas about it. When a 4th is added to mix it changed the dynamics. I guess it was hard to Meghan not to feel like a spare wheel.

The two couples have very different futures mapped out for them and I think it is important for Harry and Meghan to forge their own way. I bet they all hated the ‘fab four’ and will be very careful in the future about managing the media take on them.

I agree with PP that much of the Kate/Meghan difficulties are down to the press. I can remember very similar speculations about Diana and Fergie.

They could get a proper job and stop all this pretentious nonsense.

Harry & Wills aren't Siamese twins! They are their own persons, same name but different agendas and they're grown up married men now - their own wives and families to deal with so they ain't gonna find too much time to down the pub for a pint and a chat!

The media are constructing something out of nothing. Maybe it's to distract us from the bloody Brexit......

I'm with Carly, a couple and a friend are not the same dynamic as 2 couples.

All this Meghan hate is vile. She's done nothing wrong, and produced a baby - what's the problem? It's generated by journalists, and if a lie is repeated often enough, sadly people believe it.

As for 'whispering in Harry's ear', she's his wife; don't wives encourage husbands in their job?

Thanks for your interesting views. It was on BBC Radio Four that I heard the news that the Cambridges and Sussexes were separating their Charity. The BBC spoke about Meghan not getting on with Kate. This surprised me so much that I thought of asking all of you how you felt about it.

As I said, I don't usually take any notice of the Royal Family and leave them to it. I agree about their privacy. I think I have always cared about the two Princes, as I am sure do many of us, because they are my children's ages and I remember so well that day the news came about the death of their mother. As they grew up they seemed to have such a wonderful strong bond between them which I found very moving.

That is about all I can say as far as my interest goes. Oh - I imagine the logistics of running their Charity must be enormously difficult if they have to liaise about every arrangement, so to organise their own parts independently seems like common sense.

I don't know about the "potty" word but I am horrified if anybody used it in connection with mental health. That would be absolutely crass.

Rant over. I came to post to say that I liked the media idea that the Sussexes wanted to focus humanitarian/charity/fund-raising work in US and Canada. Sounded sensible.

So the U.K. doesn’t need charity / fundraising,

they should move to America , let the Americans keep them .

I'm sure that at some point Megan will want Harry and Archie to go and live back in the USA. She seems like a duck out of water here. It would be difficult at the moment while the queen rules, because she has custody and probably wouldn't let them go with the baby. But watch this space.

I honestly do not understand all the hate for Meghan. Would it have been the same if Harry had married a random American? Is it the actress thing?

It’s mind boggling. What of hed married a U.K. actress?

No matter what, I do think it’s bizarre to continue to put a woman down for having ambition, and wanting her own space.

I think it has t helped that Meghan is perceived as toil with her dysfunctional family and although she acts as an ambassador for mental health she hasn’t helped the mental health any of her dad and the kind uncle who helped her career at the very beginning.

She is perceived as a ‘user’ of people. Sweet and smiley, yes. Determined - very but dumps people when they are no longer useful to her.

Toil?? toxic.

I think they should definitely work separately. There are things Harry could be involved with in a fairly high profile way that William would have to keep a distance from in his role as future king. They're not "the boys" any more, they are adults, family men, and senior royals. We need to recognise them as very different, and separate, individuals.

Oh, P L E A S E leave Meghan alone and S T O P bitching about her!!!

Does anyone agree with the oft expressed view that Wiliam and Henry (to give him his real name) have the same mother, and that is about it. I am open-mided on the issue but think some may have strong opinions.
