Great idea. They may be happier.
Harry would be away from his brother which he (according to gossip) wants.
Evidently the Canadians are excited about it so Meghan might get the adulation she craves without having to go to places like Africa and if the gossip is true, she’ll have achieved her aim of parting Harry from his family.
Lots of people here would be happier, especially if they are not taking money from British tax payers for their security and standing in their own two feet To earn money. (Not sure I believe that bit)

I’d be happy, because hopefully we wouldn’t be constantly faced with news about them in every newspaper or on every TV channel.
I feel sorry for the Queen. Like many stories on here she won’t see so much of her grandson/great grandson because they’re moving so far away but lots of us know about that.

Canada says Senior Royals are not welcome to live there......referring to H&M

I would have thought Justin Trudeau would know.

what does Justin Traudeau know?
what?

Know whether or not Senior Royals are welcome.
He seemed enthusiastic on the news yesterday.

They'll be Junior Royals though, won't they?
Down the pecking order.

Harry is still 6th in line to the throne but not far above Andrew who is 8th.

But did you read the article?...it sounded like M&H have the status of being senior Royals...even thought they don't want to put in the work.

It didn't sound as though Canada can accept them and I don't think Traudeau can have the final say.......he might be enthusiastic but that doesn't really mean anything when it comes down to it does it.

That is an editorial opinion, not fact.

Pinkquartz I was being a little sarcastic, they think they are
major royals , in my opinion , they come bottom of the line.

Andrews daughters who are so often criticised have more dignity

I didn't understand what you meant though.....I cannot think of P.A without feeling ill atm.
I don't think anything of his daughters....they look a little bit strange I don't know what to make of them,
M&H have made themselves both Senior and Minor as I think they will tumble soon.

I have only recently taken any notice of the RF....it is my current distraction from all the politics

But did anyone read the article?

Pinkquartz sorry if my post was confusing.

I too look for distractions from the politics
