In January 2014, the then-president of France, François Hollande, arrived in England for talks with Prime Minister David Cameron on military and nuclear cooperation. No one in the British press really cared about the official reason for the visit, though. At the time, Hollande was living at the Élysée Palace with his girlfriend, but he had just been revealed to have been having an affair with a French actress—he had been darting to her apartment on the back of a scooter, protected by his official security team and his face hidden from view by a motorbike helmet. He had flown into England as the storm still swirled back home.

Long, boring article in which the author spends a lot of time dissing Boris Johnson, while ostensibly skipping around Harry, et ux. I finally gave up before he really got into his subjects.

Let’s see...my work week starts today and I’m about ready to head there.
After work and walking between 6-8 miles, I intend on relaxing and perhaps enjoying an adult beverage while watching playoff football.
Who are these two again?

The royal family’s greatest contribution to western civilization is that they finally P.O’d enough people over 400 years ago that they saddled up, headed to the New World and started the greatest nation on the face of the earth, which got even better once we drove them off the continent.

Don't worry, kids, your friend Moochelle will guide you into making the right decision. Give up millions of dollars and a taxpayer funded home? "Don't be stupid. Look at what Barack and I have without having to work a day in our lives."

They demand privacy yet everything they say they are going to do will create attention. She loves attention or she would never have gone into the movies. She was not a star so now is her chance to hobnob with the A List stars. Being a member of the royal family limited that access. Now she will not only hobnob but will be welcomed as a leading actress. It is all about her not Harry. Once he tires of that and becomes an adult, she will tire of him and leave. As the Queen said, "It's complicated."

This would not be the first time a royal has become political. I do believe our next monarch Charles has been very political.

I could care less about a 'royal' inbreeding family in Europe. Who are these two and what they do must be stupid for it to make earth shattering news and headaches for the old Queenie.

Can't be expecting writers for this rag to ever stay on subject, no matter what it is. They have pages to fill. People have been whining for years about how the royals need to get jobs. Well now it appears that Harry and Meghan want to get into the real world and pursue their philanthropic endeavors and people are still not happy. Can't have it both ways media. Fish or cut bait. Leave them alone. Diana raised both her sons with an awareness of the real world around them, unlike the older royals who grew up in the usual aristo bubbles and still have no clue. I say good for them if they want to venture out into the world, and I think Diana would be proud of Harry for doiong so. He isn't going to be next in line anytime soon either.

Collecting money for charity is not going to fund the lifestyle of these two. It sounds like a new pay to play scheme based on the wildly successful Hillary Clinton. I don’t think they really understand why she got away with it. They might not be so lucky.

Perhaps Meghan's father wasn't the wrong about his daughter. The media sure raked him over the coals.

You can’t legitimately compare Boris Johnson with Francois Hollande when it comes to hypocrisy relating to their girlfriends and women. As it has been widely known in the U.K. that Johnson has been a womanizer since he graduated from college with none of his former female companions complaining about Johnson’s former relationships with them, and with Johnson smiling all the way. But Hollande was different as he always apparently attempted to hide whatever relationships that he had with the females of France. If the U.K. is so hypocritical about such relationships and France so open about them, why are such high level politicians in those countries been acting in ways contrary to those assumptions?
Beyond that Megan is just a woman who so far has succeeded in turning the obviously mentally weak and p-whipped Harry against his family, a pretty common occurrence.

They will make money off their titles but will only do it when it suits them to as opposed to the rest of the extended family that does whats expected of them due to their accident of birth and chosen marriages. sparkle farkel markel engaged, married and ( chosen) rapid as possible reproduction....................and then she was complaining about how hard it all was............she's smarter than him..............and was dumb enough to believe her script.

Meghan on her "helping" the poor: "I could wear rags just like Mother Theresa --- but I look better in $2,000 designer dresses!"
These two selfish, spoiled brats actually think they can cash in on the Royal name and titles without doing any heavy lifting. And they are trying to hustle the longest serving monarch in British history who actually served in WWII. Really? She's sitting on a throne/title that dates back to Alfred the Great who united England around 885 (that's not a typo --- the "1" in front of the "eight" isn't missing) over 1,000 years ago and these two fools think they can scam a brand name out of her. Too funny.
Hey, M&H, kinda tough to sell "Royal" anything when your titles get revoked!

Harry’s father was Captain James Hewitt, Diana’s lover and horse trainer. Look up the images, they are as similar as Whereshunter and his father. So a Royal was not lost.

Since we're not royal subjects here in the USA, since somewhere around 1776, why does the media obsess on these 2. She's a gold-digger of the highest order, and he's like a teenage boy caught up in his hormones. Will anything these 2 do, make a bit of difference in the world?

Megan is consulting with Obama's. B Hussein has been wanting to take down the royalty since his days in Kenya and he is arranging this as step one.
And I am tired of being accused of being a racist - I'm not and never was but being constantly accused of it will make me one eventually.

Didn't take long for the C-list unaccomplished actress-wannabe to climb up the social ladder and pull it from Harry's feet. But....
Hell has no fury like a monarch scorned. Let's see what the Queen does with this one; my bet is that she will not disappoint. More popcorn, please.

Harry's father is Charles. She did not meet Hewitt until after Harry was born. If you want to know who Harry looks like, check out Diana's dad. You can bet royalty would never have let someone elses child be in line for the throne and Diana had testing to determine the sex of the baby so that's a small step to dna testing. So all these Hewitt rumors are just that, rumors.

I'm surprised so many people have missed the way Meghan has been, from the start, about Kate, future Queen. She dissed her in their recent "annoucement" about ditching the Queen in her old age, in the named list of Senior Royals as those the Great Meg and Lesser Harry will "collaborate" (sic!!) with in their future amorphous endeavors. The Duchess of Cambridge's name was not included, most baldly. Of course not. Why, you ask? Because Meghan has always detested the fact, and revealed it if you were watching, that Kate, a woman qua rival and a very good looking one and native British, is way higher up in royal hierarchy than Meghan can ever be. This reality will not work for Meghan, and never did. Meghan's take is, of course, the worst high school behaviour worthy of a Lifetime sitcom about murderous cheerleaders. Okay, I am going to say it: Ms Markle has no class, at all. Kate's class can be seen often in her unwavering sense of duty. But, really, I don't think Meghan even noticed that in Kate; duty is a real value, and, why bother when you have social media to tot up fake friends and devotees?

Noblesse oblige. A very foreign, even incomprehensible, idea to the self-centered and demanding Ms. Markle. From those to whom much has been given, much is expected. Doesn’t apply to her. Nor does the idea that one owes a duty of unfailing courtesy to those who serve her. (Hillary never figured that out, either.) In the Southern US, we have a word for folk like her.. “Tacky.” Bless her conniving little heart... Meghan may have badly miscounted her cards. I hope she didn’t get too used to a life of pampered royalty. Reads like a fairy tale, doesn’t it? Comeuppance can be uncomfortable!

Long before Ms. Markel showed up Harry, William & Kate were fast friends who very much enjoyed each other's company - now this rift - which is both sad and unnecessary. If she truly loved him she would never try to isolate him from his family. Harry needs to take over as head of his household and if he truly understands this latest ''decision'' of separate lives then they should just cut the cord completely and take up residence in Canada, or the US, on their own. It would not surprise me if the Queen stripped their titles, with Charles cutting off his share of their expenses to make that a no-turning-back point. Still, it saddens me that it has come to this ... poor Archie, what of his fate?

Well, Prince Charles is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so maybe Harry just came from a bad seed.
Rumor has it that the Queen may well skip Charles and name Prince William her successor. If that happens, he would become William IV.

Not necessarily, #38. When William ultimately becomes king he can chose any name that he wants. For example, King George the Sixth’s real name was Albert and he was known as Bertie.

Seriously, who could not have seen that this was a mismatch. Royal Family life was too difficult even for upper class British wives like Diana and Fergie. How did anyone think an American actress wannabe could fit in? I see a divorce in their future, which will be complicated by their son and the fact that their lives will be separated by an ocean.
