A photo of the Queen and the next three monarchs upset Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and influenced their announcement yesterday to step down as senior royals, according to a report.
The Times said the “line of succession” photo released five days ago - featuring Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince George with the monarch - upset the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who saw it as a sign they were being excluded from royal life.The newspaper also says their decision to step away from royal duties and become financially independent was also partly triggered by the Queen’s Christmas message not featuring any photos of the couple on her desk.

On that four monarchs photo, Harry knows better. He knows the likelihood of his ever being king is slim to none with emphasis on the latter. It probably irks Meghan that William’s and Kate’s children are ahead of Harry in the line of succession.
“Has to be about race."

If this influenced them they are morons. The succession has been crystal clear, set in stone since before Harry was born. Born second, you are "the spare" in case the first born is killed. Other than that, you have a cushy life a bit of responsibilities and a need to "keep your nose clean".
Can't figure that out? Stupid.

Harry and Meghan are free to leave the Royal life any time but they have to give the perquisites that go with it. They can't have it both ways. If I quit a job I wouldn't expect the company to keep paying me my salary or continuing my benefits.

They've been hanging out with the Clintons, Obamas and Oprah. Make sense now?

I saw this on Yahoo a day or two ago and gave it the credibility I give anything from Yahoo, zilch. I can't imagine Harry and Meghan are that dumb that they can't realize the significance of the photo. If it included Charlotte and Louis, yes, but not the successors to the throne.

Meghan is behind this. Yes, Harry was always a bit of a rebel, but the whole Schiff show started going downhill one he stupidly married that entitled moron. Had he been second in line to the throne, that marriage would not have been allowed to happen.

I thought they wanted privacy and the Queen was honoring that by not putting their photo out for all to see.
As far as the succession picture goes, that’s absolutely ridiculous that they would be offended.
They are behaving like children. The Queen has to act carefully though because she shouldn’t have to lose Harry and Archie fighting Meghan. Also, any action taken by the Queen will be seen as racist.
M and H should be ordered immediately to cease and desist the use of their titles for copyright. That would make me furious.
How can they both do this to a 93 year old great grandmother, regardless of who she is. She has bent over backwards to make them happy.

What are the chances Meghan is so dumb she just figured out she isn't married to a likely successor to the throne?

I believe in being fair to all people. Many of the stories about these two have no actual evidence or confirmed sources at all.
I do not trust the left wing media about the entire Trump family stories they pound out every hour I certainly am not going agree and make hateful comments on stories that are obviously made up about other people.

Since Charles is not the actual biological father of Harry, the Royal Family would never allow him to become king.

Pretty touchy. Megan is away too openly progressively political to be in the top tier of the British Royal Family that is supposed to be neutral as far as politics go. She is better off hanging with the Obamas, Winfrey, and her other touchy-feely progressive Hollywood types so she can do what she wants, including keeping her p-whipped husband in check, without have to follow any rules or traditions.

Not sure how these 2 undereducated narcissists came to consider themselves 'senior'. The Queen has 4 children. Were they all but invisible when they decided to refer to themselves as 'senior'?? The Hollywood strumpet scarcely knew the ropes of the royal family having performed only a few public 'duties'. Must have weighed heavily on Harry since he does not have a job. Period. The photo of the Queen and future kings could not possibly have been a surprise to Harry. He knew he would never be king. William has 3 children, and it will be more than his son who will be considered for the throne. The Queen passed a law that a woman is able to succeed as well not just a male. Perhaps that delusional 5th rate 'actress' finally began realizing that England was not going to change the laws of succession just because she has arrived in England.

Sounds to me like they were just "looking" for an excuse...and presto! pronto! the photo provided them with just that!
The thing is this extreme reaction to a photo is pure Hollywood drama, so we know very clearly who is behind it.

What will be the end of this monarchy is that fact that no one will care any longer.
Meghan and Harry have done a lot to move that forward. I hope Prince Charles and the Queen ploitely remove them from the line of succession.

Harry's chances of ever being king are miniscule. He is behind Charles, William, George, Charlotte and Louis. I doubt if the photo upset him very much.

If the money and the title goes and they cannot use their titles in trademarks, the bimbo will drop him like a hot potato to join her hollywood glitterati. I feel sorry for Harry but then history repeats once as tragedy (King Edward and Mrs Simpson) and then as farce (Harry and Megan) too bad for a decent lad who grew up to be a fool.

Anybody remember the actor who played Adam Cartwright leaving Bonanza for “better projects” because he was dissatisfied with his role on the show?
Know why I can’t remember his name today?

Meghan fancies herself a senior royal even though Harry knows better. Little George is more senior than she will ever be and he is only six.
I saw a video where the royal family was attending a function. She started to prance into the room ahead of the Queen. Charles pushed her back and very sternly told her that Senior royals enter first. She was then physically restrained by palace security until everyone else entered the room. The look on her face was priceless. She was one unhappy little minx.
I hope the.Queen takes away their titles as well as their financial allotment. Diana left sufficient funds to Harry so that they should be able to live very, very comfortably unless Megs blows through it.

Hadn't she seen the early photos of these four from a few years ago, the one where George is standing on a stack of books? And what's Harry's excuse, he just now figured out what it means to be "the spare"?

Harry has known since he was in diapers at Princess Diana's knee. It's the Markle woman who is pulling his guilty ying-yang to try to dismantle established rule. It all seems a little too much work for Prince Harry to be bothered with. Good King Henry VIII beheaded finer women than this one trying to find one who could produce a boy child.

This is a wonderful explanation of the pitfalls of liberalism. Dr Turley explains how the monarchy is being challenged by Marxism where people do not want any part of ’sacredness’ of religion, marriage or family traditions. This is an excellent video!

Well, Harry/Meghan tried to pitch the idea they are stepping back because of Harry's mental health and that didn't go over very well. Then this idea of the photo. Its all a big sham so they can start selling their SussexRoyal.com stuff. They want to work towards financial independence but he is already worth $44million, pounds or dollars, I forget which, it makes no difference.
They want to sell the SussexRoyal vagina candles like Paltrow so as to become really financially independent. Yeah! That's the ticket.

I would guess that the Queen was deeply hurt when Meghan and Harry chose not to follow tradition and spend Christmas with the family. Also, Harry's grandfather was in hospital right before Christmas and he would have hurt his grandmother, also, by not being close when his grandfather came home from hospital. Besides, Christmas would be celebrated as a religious holy day by the royal family, and everyone is expected to attend church on that day so Harry has been rude to his grandmother in several ways, and he is a well-bred young man, so I am sure he knows how much he has hurt her, but they have a perfectly lovely son, so hopefully they can do something to right the wrongs.

Ary, Ary Ary. Didn’t your family tell you the problems of marrying DOWN, of marrying an extremely common carpet-bagging Muggle from the Colonies? You can have your way but don’t bring ‘em home nor marry them. Well this is the result. Grow some and dump the problem.

#26 - Hollywood is littered with actors who left successful TV series for "better opportunities" that didn't exactly pan out. To name a few: Shelly Long, Dan Stevens, Charlie Sheen, McLean Stevenson, Farah Fawcett, Michael Moriaty, and Parnell Roberts.
