I wonder what people think of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex decision to move to Canada? On 13 January the Queen summoned a meeting between herself, Prince Charles, Prince Harry and Prince William to try and sort out Harry and Meghan’s future. As senior royals, this is such a big step for Prince Harry. I can understand why Harry has done this, but can also understand why people feel sad and angry at their decision. Harry has always had this deep frustration and hatred for the media. He has gone out of his way to keep his family as safe and private from the worlds media as possible. After what happened to his mother in France, I can understand why he feels this. I guess by taking a step back from royal duties, he wants to live a quieter life for his wife and son – sharing his time between Canada and England.
During this transition time and they decide their future, the Queen released a statement where she said that also she preferred for Harry and Meghan to remain as “full-time working members of the Royal Family,” she respects their decision and gives her support to their future lives. At the end of the day, the person I feel sorry for the most really is the Queen. She wants her family to stick together, just like any other family. But saying that, I also think Harry and Meghan should live their lives how they wish. It will be interesting to now know what they plan to do with their lives. I wonder if Meghan will go back to acting? What do you think?
I am sure she will go back to acting, they have to foot their bills now.
Yes you could be right, Dawn. They need to make their own money somehow now. Time will tell!
I would not think she would go back to acting due to them wanting a quieter life.
Yes, you’re probably right, LaJenna. I hope, anyhow, they are happy with whatever they decide in life.
I am glad that they did this because of the tabloids.
To my mind, those who always have to be visible and deal with the mass media always have a difficult fate. Hope very much that everything will be OK with them!!!
They are talking about it in Spain as well. But I do not think is so important. I heard that Royal Family costs 4 pounds per person in the United Kingdom. Perhaps they were angry at seeing how the Queen did not include a picture of them in the Christmas message she delivered.
Yes, it has made the news all over the world. Well, I wish them well and hope they are happy in life.
thanks for sharing your thoughts, I am curious about what the people of the UK think. In part because I know the two are trying to walk away from the English press.
(funny literally Megan’s flight from a Vancouver island yesterday made national news the thing they are trying to avoid).
Oh exactly Doc, I saw that on the news too. I don’t think they’ll ever get away from the press, just because of who they are. It’s understandable they want a quieter life, but I think the media will always be on their backs. Sad fact, I think.
it really is, I feel bad for them.
So many have the desire to be a royal and here is a royal whose desire is to leave the royalty.
You’re right there Alex. To be honest, I don’t think Meghan fully anticipated what her life would be like when she married Harry.
Unfortunately, the life of the royal family is very difficult. They have rules that everyone must follow. This news was a huge shock to me.
It’s a huge shock for everyone I think, Vidocka. On one hand, I can understand how he feels, but on the other hand, I can understand why his family are disappointed in his decision.
This is an interesting development. He is right in his decision and shielding his family from the media limelight. I was find of his mother. Felt bad at what happened.
Yes I agree Introvert, I think everyone was fond his his mother. People remember, and he wants to shield his family from the media.
