    There was a time hundreds of years ago when first cousins married to keep it all in the family. They got so inbred that children were born with birth defects.

    Most people don't know that Prince Edward who married Sophie
    back in 1999, are first cousin's.
    The British Royal family are very inbred.

    I was reading an article about how Meghan, or should I say The Duchess of Sussex should deal with her troublesome family. Someone said call MI6 and her troubles will be gone. I don't doubt that !

    One has to wonder if she ever has a "WTF is the matter with you people!" moment. My guess is yes. LOL. Get rid of the Duchess and throw Andrew under the bus.

    100% correct. It's been an open secret for years how much of a perverted dick he is and now the main stream have finally found out there is no way he can talk his way out of it. And now we suddenly have the news that Beatrice is engaged...yeah, I'm sure the timing is just coincidence and nothing to do with them trying to move the focus. That might have worked in the past but not now.
    The queen won't do anything as he is mummy's favourite and she will move heaven and hell to make sure nothing happens but judging by some of the leaks coming out recently, Charles and Phillip seem to know the score where he is concerned.

    Your right about that, it would have worked in the past. I'm waiting for Ghislaine Maxwell to talk, if she ever gets the chance without ending up like Epstein.

    The engagement thing is a bit odd too .Wasn't he still living with his Mrs then suddenly he's off with Beatrice ? Andrew is going to have a hard job squirming out of this one - he's been papped with all the wrong people ,and it can't just be co-incidence .Mummy may not be able to fix this one .......

    I hope the American FBI, and local police can find her.
    But also Scotland Yard if she is in the UK.

    I'm sure they know where she is. The question is will they keep her safe, this a dangerous game being played.

    It's for a pre-existing illness. But who knows at that age what might come of it. I don't wish him ill will. I hope he is home for Christmas.

    Looks like Harry and Meghan will set up house in BC. Personally I could care less what they do, as long as they pay their own way and not put it on to the taxpayers.

    I saw a blurb on the news about that, and Stephen Colbert had some fun with that very subject. Apparently, The Queen is allowing them to to separate themselves from the Royal Family, Harry and Meghan made a remark about how it shouldn't be difficult making a living, and Colbert said 1. Why would you move to a country that has your MIL's face on the money? and 2. It shouldn't be too hard making a living...said the guy with an endless supply of money.

    I can't remember where I read it but I saw on a site that 75% of Canadians don't want them to move there because of the money it will cost. I have no feelings either way for them but I get the feeling this isn't gonna turn out the way they assume it will.

    NPR reported today that they will receive some money from the UK royal sovereignty. It was due to the Queen's insistence that her grandson and family should never need to go on the dole. There's a confidence booster for ya. Jeez.

    Well ya know, Harry's a pilot, so there's that.
    And Meghan used to make a few bucks acting and what not; so there's that.

    But I think their real potential for some decent bucks and good perks lies in a reality show.
    I'd like to see them team up with Paris Hilton and Donnie Trump and take it on the road, sort of in "The Simple Life" style.

    By pooling their talents and audience appeal, they could probably come close to the bucks and perks of that whole, "I'm Royalty" gig.
    I mean, just look what reality shows did for Paris and Donnie.

    A German scientist using Iranian physics and French mathematics.

    That's great. I think adding elements of the show Big Brother would work well with that: confined to sharing one house, challenges, and the slop thing to thoroughly immerse themselves in their new reality.

    So please add me to the 75% of Canadians that don't want them
    to move here in Canada.

    Count me in. Madonna has told them to leave "boring" Canada and live in New York. Dear old Madonna, no one knew she was still alive. LOL.

    they want privacy.
    So how can we miss you if you will not go away?

    They certainly are. I like the royals. None of them can help what they were born into. And Harry had a lot of guts stepping down and moving over here.

    Sadly, I don't think Harry has any respect for his Grandmother
    or his Grandfather. ( who is in Hospital)

    These two are a real handful. Hopefully H & M won't continue to subject us at regular intervals with reminders of how they want to be left alone. "By the way, in case you've forgotten ... we're still victims and still want to be left alone". Okay, in the midst of a pandemic (and afterward) I think we can handle that. It's like having a relative who calls you every day to remind you they're still not on speaking-terms with you. Shut up and move on.

    Are either Harry or Meghan seeing a psychiatrist? She claims to have had suicidal thoughts and he's stated in earlier interviews about how his mother's death and his grieving throughout a very public funeral was traumatic for him. Long before they met, both of them definitely had (and continue to have) issues that need addressing.

    Not being a paid employee of the Palace, Human Resources allegedly couldn't offer her help. Is that to imply the Palace forbade her and Harry from searching for and paying on their own for a psychiatrist ? Big difference between the two scenarios.

    Meghan grew up in a family that continues to be dysfunctional. Other than her mother, what other relative did she have in her family life to serve as a positive influence?
    He's made many poor choices in his adult life. To what degree (if any) does he take responsibility for his poor choices? I'm sure wherever he went for costumes had plenty of outfits to select from. Yet, in 2005 he CHOSE to dress as a Nazi. Apparently the Prince who married a bi-racial (or whatever the PC term is at this moment) woman slept through those history classes detailing the Nazi obsession with "racial purity" that resulted in the murders of millions of Jews, Gypsies and other so-called "undesirables".

    He CHOSE to get naked during his Las Vegas romp (link to the article and photos below). Outside of whatever grief they've allegedly had from "The Firm", this is a married couple in need of psychiatric counselling. The allegations of her bullying her staff is a strong indication she has issues interacting with others and resorts to anger while portraying herself as the eternal victim. Did he ever publicly address what was going on in his mind when he CHOSE to dress as a Nazi? Now that he's free from "The Firm" he should deal with all the poor choices he made. Perhaps he'll see a pattern in his thought process that's led him to where he's at now.

    I find it offensive that they planned a very expensive (at taxpayer expense), very public fake-wedding event knowing their real wedding was taking place three days earlier. Why not opt for a less-expensive wedding like Andrew's daughters? Oh well, as long as the public's paying, why should they care?

    As far as being "cut-off" from Royal funds when they left "the Firm" - when you choose to leave a job, that's what happens. Retiring is one thing, you may get a pension etc. You no longer live at taxpayer expense when you leave "The Firm". Who wouldn't like to continue to get paid for a job they quit?

    Maybe growing up with those rumours of James Hewitt being his real father contributed to his issues. Yeah, Harry looks like Prince Philip, blah blah blah .. but check out the photo below. Perhaps William is his half-bro and Charles is his mother's ex-husband.

Apparently the Prince who married a bi-racial (or whatever the PC term is at this moment) woman slept through those history classes detailing the Nazi obsession with "racial purity" that resulted in the murders of millions of Jews, Gypsies and other so-called "undesirables".

    He CHOSE to get naked during his Las Vegas romp (link to the article and photos below). Outside of whatever grief they've allegedly had from "The Firm", this is a married couple in need of psychiatric counselling. The allegations of her bullying her staff is a strong indication she has issues interacting with others and resorts to anger while portraying herself as the eternal victim. Did he ever publicly address what was going on in his mind when he CHOSE to dress as a Nazi? Now that he's free from "The Firm" he should deal with all the poor choices he made. Perhaps he'll see a pattern in his thought process that's led him to where he's at now.

    I find it offensive that they planned a very expensive (at taxpayer expense), very public fake-wedding event knowing their real wedding was taking place three days earlier. Why not opt for a less-expensive wedding like Andrew's daughters? Oh well, as long as the public's paying, why should they care?

    As far as being "cut-off" from Royal funds when they left "the Firm" - when you choose to leave a job, that's what happens. Retiring is one thing, you may get a pension etc. You no longer live at taxpayer expense when you leave "The Firm". Who wouldn't like to continue to get paid for a job they quit?

    Maybe growing up with those rumours of James Hewitt being his real father contributed to his issues. Yeah, Harry looks like Prince Philip, blah blah blah .. but check out the photo below. Perhaps William is his half-bro and Charles is his mother's ex-husband.

    I've seen a few people questioning their mental health statements as William & Harry set up a mental health charity which Harry has said in the past he used. I would have assumed if Meghan was as bad as she claims (Not calling her a liar by any means but I wasn't there so don't know how bad it got.) he would have been the perfect person to get her help but the way things are being said, it seems like he did nothing.


    A few things I do have issue with is her constant claims she knew nothing of the royal family before she met Harry when her old blog was not only full of stories talking about them, there were pictures of her and a friend outside Buckingham Palace as well as there being a photo circulating of her pre Harry where a book about Diana can clearly be seen. There is also the fact she keeps saying she was thrown in head first and not given any training/help but according to the 'leaks' the reason he and William fell out was because he wanted Harry to take things slow, give her time to get used to stuff but Harry saw that as William saying he was making a mistake. So surely if anyone is to blame for things being rushed, they should be looking in the mirror and not pointing fingers elsewhere.

    Not to mock anyone having suicidal thoughts, but does her statement imply that neither one had any friend they could trust to recommend a psychiatrist? Neither one had the funds to pay for the counselling themselves? Assuming here that the Palace refused to pay for counselling for a Royal. I agree with your statement about Harry probably doing nothing to get her help. Another example of his poor decision making, and how to react to life's situations as they arise.

    Given Harry's history of poor decision-making, perhaps the family was justified in advising him to proceed at a slower pace. Alexandra (wife of Tsar Nicholas II) was rushed into marriage due to Nicholas' father being mortally ill. (You had to produce a healthy male heir as soon as possible in those days.) She had to cram in sessions of Russian language (reading/writing/speaking), converting to Russian Orthodoxy, learning all the etiquette of the Royal Court etc. And Alexandra wasn't a commoner! She was highly-educated. Her dad was a member of the German royal famly, her mom was a daughter of Queen Victoria. IMO Meghan entered this marriage with visions of being hailed as "Diana version 2.0". Much like Diana, she'd be wearing designer clothes, being cheered at by crowds of adoring people.

    How she could possibly have lived through the 80s and 90s without knowing who Harry was? His mother was internationally famous, he and William were frequently photographed with her. What total bullsh*t. Did anyone allege she deep-googled to find out about Harry? If not, that's a very revealing statement -- denying a specific action that no one accused her of.

    She supposedly got furious at the Palace staff who explained to her that, as an actress she could accept free designer clothes, but as a Royal she couldn't accept them. Therefore, the freebies would absolutely have to go back from whence they came. This is an excellent example of her needing to get adjusted to the protocol.

    Let's put it this way.... she claimed to be an actress. LEARN your lines, study, practice, memorize. Don't be Norma Desmond, for Christ's sake.

    They're dragging out the "Harry is miserable" thang. So, if that's true, why doesn't he get out? He could take her and Archie for a "visit" to London, and dump her and take Archie. Or is he too proud to admit he was wrong about her. Or is he so in love with her that misery is tolerable?

    One day he will wake up and realize what her agenda has been all along. It's obvious she calls the shots and he is either to besotted or stupid to think for himself. If you have ever seen The Windsors he is portrayed as a dimwitted airhead, who can't read or write. Its hilarious. She would still be a B list actor on TV if it had not been for him, if she is going to spill the tea she might be careful she not spill it on herself, she might get scalded. Pulling the race and victim cards gives her leverage, but for how long.
    Today you could be standing next to someone who is trying their best not to fall apart. So whatever you do today, do it with kindness.

    All I have is speculation. But it does seem like she calls the shots.

    I think they are very much in love and both wanted out, I mean he seen and has seen what was done to his mother and perhaps he didn't want his wife and children to go through that as well.

    I don't blame Harry for wanting to leave "the Firm " .He had years of keeping the stiff upper lip and having to stay in line .The family began to unravel years ago when Princess Margaret's drinking and living it up became an embarrassment , followed later by Princess Anne getting divorced .Then the whole Charles and Diana mess , followed by the suspicions surrounding Diana's untimely death . The Queen has been playing whack-a-mole for years .Andy and Fergie lowering the tone , Andy's behaviour now under scrutiny ,Prince Phillip and his big mouth - there's only the Queen left who tries to keep that dignity and distance .And even she agreed to be ( mock ) parachuted out of a plane for a feature film ! They've gone to the dogs the Royals .It gets more like a reality show every day though they're just human after all .But the Queen and the Queen Mother wanted them to be portrayed as a flawless family ,and that was helped along by the mystery of them . Now the media has exposed them ( with their help ) as having all the faults that most of us have .Archie and his sister won't remember their grandparents - they'll be Americans and hopefully grow up with more freedom of expression than their dad .It remains to be seen if the public will want William and Kate any more than they want Charles and Camilla .The upkeep of their vast homes and deference to them seems so draconian in the harsh light of day (to me ).I just hope Megan stays true to Harry and vice versa .
