Where are the clowns? Send in the clowns. Don't bother — they're here. (snip) Megxit is a problem, a drama, for the Royal Family, but it is not a constitutional crisis for the monarchy. It is a drama of friction between two brothers and their wives for reasons not made public, but probably over differences over the haste of Harry's marriage to Meghan. Harry has said, without explanation, he was on a completely different path from his brother William,

I don't think I have ever agonized like this over anything else in my entire life.
This is an emotional crisis for the entire world. None of us may ever recover. What will happen - - dear God - - what will happen?

Prince Harry was (and is) an airhead, according to his mother, Diana, when he was twelve. That explains a lot.

Prince Harry has never had to worry about being in line to inherit the throne, not like his brother William. So not only did he get to marry whom he wanted, but he could live his life differently, hence the 'different path' he spoke about. What he was involved with was a very good military career, where he put himself in harm's way to take out some really nasty terrorists. Then the media blew his cover and killed his career. The military forced him to grow up, more than his own father ever had to.
The Brit public has been whining about the royals being leeches and that they should get jobs. Well guess what? Harry is trying to do that and not break the protocol that says you don't exploit your royal connections. Can't have it both ways. Slapping because he had no job, and now slapping him with mockery for trying to get one, and also being philanthropic at the same time. People are trying to have it both ways, and you can't do that.

I can only be thankful that we freed ourselves from this circus as a result of our Revolution. My give-a-hoot meter is still out for repair and calibration.

They can hang out with the real "royalty," the Obamas, who are probably filling their empty heads with the mush claptrap they visited upon America during the "Dark Period."

Like Obama (who sent in his team to work in Meghan's office) Meghan is accusing everyone who does not agree with her of being a racist. That alone will enable her to get whatever she wants. Plus, did you see Harry "pimping" her to Disney exec to get her a voice over job. Disney is a racist if they don't hire her. She says The Royal Family are racist AND sexist. And so on and on and on, forever.
I am not and never been a racist but constantly being falsely accused of it will make me one eventually. Oh, yes! Obama has his hands all over this as payback for Kenya.

Ginger Boy is going to have his hands full with his activist racist wife. Coming to America so Meg can be close to 'her people' the Obama's are going to have guest.

About Harry:
The path is also shown in other ways: Harry's sense of entitlement, by plea of victim status while enjoying privileges; his hypocrisy in pontificating about climate change while traveling by private jet planes that emit vast amounts of CO2; by expressions of self-pity by both him and Meghan. Unlike the usual style of the royal family, Harry and Meghan have been petulant and notable for putting on the glitz.
The winter of discontent with the Sussex pair has lasted for about a year and continues. It is worth examining the lifestyle of the duke and duchess of Sussex, who will now be "minor royals." They have received funding for a variety of activities: wedding, home, office, staff, tours, and gifts of money. Father Prince Charles pays for almost all their office expenditure. Harry had inherited 20 million pounds from mother Diana and 7 million from the queen mother, his great grandmother. Meghan had previously earned an estimated $350,000 from her theater work, $37,000 for each episode of the show Suits. Their wedding, costing $3 million, was a lavish affair, to which celebrities, the George Cloonies, David Beckhams, and Oprah Winfreys, were invited and at which Elton John performed at a lunchtime reception. Meghan's wardrobe in 2018 is said to have cost about 500,000 pounds; her baby shower in New York cost $500,000. They spent $3 million renovating their home, Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, a gift to them by Queen Elizabeth.
No, he is not a bit like William.

Back in 1980 I was in bed listening to radio when all of a sudden this focused my attention: This is a CBS Special Report. We interrupt our regular programming for this CBS News Special Report. Queen Julianna of the Netherlands has abdicated her throne. The rest of the day I was in a daze wondering what the people of the Netherlands would do without their Queen. Who would they bow down to? Who would provide them with guidance and inspiration? Who would bestow titles to peons? Many of us simply don't realize the importance of royals in our daily life.

It sounds like Meghan didn't bother to tell anyone BEFORE she married Harry that she wanted her OWN agenda? Funny, isn't it, that she neglected to bring that up until AFTER Archie was born.

Obviously Megan has figured out that her chances of becoming the Queen of England are about zero, so what does she do now? Use her p-whipped husband and her known progressive politics as hedges to become a future Queen of Hollywood?
The problem is Megan and Harry can’t remain as high entities of the British Royal Family at the expense of U.K. taxpayers, and at the same time take part in the Hollywood and U.K. progressive political scene as they become highly paid Hollywood celebrities. As U.K. constitutional law and tradition do not provide or allow for that as the Royal Family must stay out of politics. Beyond that in the U.K., the Commonwealth, and the USA, Megan and Harry have the human right to the pursue happiness in their personal lives.

Cry me a river. Maggie got her ROYAL wedding. Found out about the for better or worse part and went back to Canada. Want to have some fun, read up on Princess Margaret's (QEII's sister) adventures in the Caribbean. Second thought, who cares except Margaret.

We permanently rid ourselves of these folks starting in 1776, and ultimately, it will have zero impact on us and very little impact on Britain.

The comment about Harry’s being an airhead, widely quoted, would have occurred about the time his mother died. Somehow that does not compute. Media concoction?
Nevertheless, Harry lived a pretty freewheeling life before Meghan came along. He has been a wild child (as an adult), which Curtis documents in detail in this article. And has often complained about media coverage while doing outrageous things (and others not so outrageous) that attract media coverage. Some of the things were good things. He has been a public person by virtue of his birth. Even now, though, he/they are exploiting the current “crisis”, which gains more media attention for both of them and their commercial pursuits. No one told them they couldn’t have it both ways… Live privately, simply. Or live large in the public eye.

Harry and the Halfrican have no idea about the financial and personal calamities that are about to fall on their airy heads. In about three years, ol' Meghan will be begging for jobs in Hollywierd while her ex-husband Ginger Boy sneaks back to England to beg his family to forgive him and the him back, after his big head gains control over his little head.

Funny, Markle doesn't look black. How can she charge "racist!."
Oh, I see..... calling "racist" against any criticism signals you are one and therefore anything you say is invalid, end of argument.

I believe new trademarked corporate name is SussexRoyal or some such. I have my own: "The Most Boring Couple in the World." copyright reserved. Yawn. Perhaps they can sell themselves as a sleep aid.

In my opinion, the Queen, may she live long, will call upon Harry to return to active duty with the Army and fulfill his Royal duties. Harry will salute smartly and do as he’s told. Megan the Harpy will have the choice of following her husband in his duties, or peel off in her arrogance and self-important willfulness and do what she will. Her willfulness will probably lead to the dissolution of the marrriage.

Dear Harry,
Happiness is optional. The only person or thing which can truly make you happy is you. And maybe you should pass that bit of wisdom on to your wife, not that she’ll actually listen.

The interesting thing is if Edward VIII, Harry's great, great uncle hadn't bailed out of the 'kingship' after a few weeks to marry another American woman, Harry wouldn't have been anywhere NEAR the throne. So, Harry's bailout (if it happens) is similar to the 1936 saga all over, but from a much more minor "royal".
I still say that Elizabeth is by FAR the most sensible and sane one of the bunch. And she learned a lot of it from her father, George VI, the wartime king, brother to Edward, the abdicator.
Long live Queen Elizabeth, perhaps the most sensible monarch that Merry Ole has ever had.

Reports are that Meghan will be participating in the family pow-wow today via telephone. HUGE MISTAKE QUEEN. Meghan will be participating, along with a cadre of hangers-on. I give it two hours before her message is crafted and the contents of the meeting are leeked. The Queen still hasn't learned what True Believers will do to further their ends.
