As Prince Harry and his wife, the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle, make plans to move to Justin Trudeau’s woke paradise, Afua Hirsch is bitter. The author of “Brit(ish): On Race, Identity and Belonging” (yes, it reads exactly as it sounds) writes in The New York Times to claim it was racism that drove Harry and Meghan out of the United Kingdom. (Snip)The reason for Harry and Meghan’s departure is pure liberal-individualist narcissism. And both are equally responsible for that. Due to its symbolic and apolitical nature, British aristocracy are not supposed to publicly espouse political opinions, much less actively lecture people about mental health, toxic masculinity, or climate change.

I'm betting the Harry will wake up one day and regret all this. I will give them four years and he will walk away. I think the queen knows this and hopefully she will see that day when Harry returns. As for the royals being racist is bull. You know she is being coached by the Obama's when the race card is in play.

The headline is perfect. But Meghan is the snake in the Garden of Eden. "Harry and Meghan’s departure is pure liberal-individualist narcissism" and Meghan is the one who infected Harry with it. She is also using his feelings about the death of his mother to make him overprotective of her and keeping Archie away from the family as a bargaining chip. Meghan is quite the master manipulator. Harry has a $40 million inheritance. If they break up she will get some nice settlement. She would also keep Archie and you can be sure she would still use him against the royals.
I suspect that the Queen is saying, "don't let the door hit your butt on the way out".

in the past week I've heard or read that the monarch can (by some arcane British law) compel all grandchildren and therefore heirs to the throne to live with him/her in some kind of royal custody. Elizabeth cannot claim Archie because she is a great grandmama, but as soon as Charlie takes the throne he can exercise his royal prerogative and snag the little boy for the sake of England.
No idea when/if this has ever been done or if it could be pulled off in modern society, but it's certainly an interesting concept. There's likely many such royal potholes on the road to independence for M&H, I imagine the financial issues are more compelling in the long run - but this does cause me to go hmmmmmm.

This is the best piece I have seen on the subject, putting Harry mostly and Meghan secondarily into proper historic and cultural context. The Queen's statement yesterday was to keep the monarchy in order. She will know that Harry is Diana redux. Families do that sometimes. Harry of course will regret it all, deeply: if he does "deep".

Actually they both are playing into the Queen’s hand. She sees the need to strimline the monarchy as she saw the need the UK ‘s nation’s needed independence and hence the commonwealth. That picture of the monarch and the three generations of future monarchs was telling of what is important for the future of the monarchy. The spares of the past are to disappear and earn their own income. The only one that will remain is Princess Anne who will work with Charles and help him in his reign.
That pictures of the monarch and future monarchs scared the bejesus out of Harry as he saw his place in plain sight. He has suspected for a while he is no longer relevant or necessary. He also married a moron who is making his way out more difficult as his father wanted to help him. Now that he has proclaim his independence even the Charles money will dry out eventually. Their Hollywood connections and the obamas better pay out for them.

FTA: “If anything, this incident reinforces that composure and class, stoic fortitude, and a sense of duty and propriety are not due to either bloodline or money. Some people possess them, and most do not.”
Perfectly illustrates the difference between the meaningful life of the Queen and the self-indulgent path that Harry has decided to take. While he started out very well following in the heritage of his family, he has made the unfortunate decision to hitch himself to a self-indulgent narcissist. Like so many young people today they fall for the lies promoted by progressives in that all they have to do is spout the dogma of the left in order to earn eternal acceptance in their elite but terribly hypocritical world. It affords them the space to lecture the rest of us while they are abject failures who cannot walk their talk nor do they wish to.
One good thing to come out of this is the realization that yours is not the only one with family members who are quite embarrassingly unaware of their own reckless ignorance. Whether royal or poverty stricken, human nature remains the same. We can all be equally foolish.

Mollycoddled Ms Markle would have us believe she didn't have a clue what she was in for when she agreed to marry Harry. And, even though she could clearly see from Kate what life would be like as a Royal, we're supposed to believe that the pressure of all that hand-waving was a shock to her.
Uh uh. I'm not buying it for a second.
She lectured that we should be cautious about reproducing in a toxic environment of climate change. Yet she apparently had no problem bringing her own child into what she saw as another toxic environment---that of Royalty. She had a baby as soon as possible. Gee. I wonder why.

He has always been extremely liberal. Even more so than his brother William.He was that way long before he ever met his now wife. Since the media destroyed his military career, he is simply trying to find a path for himself since he is never going to be anywhere near the throne as king. His mother knew he was an airhead when he was a kid and she was right. He is a standout example of odd duck in a family of odd.
I have also long suspected that the royals like him want to find their way in the real world and support themselves. I say good on him. He will be in good company with all his cousins who have jobs in the real world as well. After all, the public has been whining about how the royals are a drain on the public wallet, so why is Harry being bashed for wanting to foot his own way??

I don't think anyone faults Harry and Meghan for wanting to go their own way. I think where the problem is, they want to have it BOTH ways! They want to keep their Luxury home gifted by the Queen, their Security Teams, Nannys and the money Charles gives that funds their Luxury Lifestyle. If they want to go "their own way, they should get used to paying their own way! I don't think Meghan makes enough money being a B Movie Star. I know Harry has an Inheritance, but the way they live (renting multi-million Dollar Homes in Canada) that money will dry up in no time. They want to keep their "Royal" lifestyle, along with their Royal Titles, but they don't want to be required to work for those things! How Millennial of them! It wasn't Racism that drove them out, it was the fact that Meghan would never measure up to the Beautiful, poised and someday to be Queen Kate that Meghan couldn't deal with! Such a shame that she broke William and Harry apart just because she wanted to be Queen and Harry can't make it happen for Little Unhappy Her! Cry me a River! I've heard enough about Meghan. I hope someday Harry will wise up, grab Archie and return to the Royal Family, where they belong! He will have to grow up before he realizes what he's done!

If these two selfish, bratty morons want to "make it on their own" then do it as "Mr. & Mrs. Harold Windsor, formerly of Great Britain". Other than that, shut you pie hole. Your 15 minutes are now up!
Some of the kings and queens of England are rolling in their graves off this feckless heir. Can you imagine Harry (or his brother or father for that matter!) leading troops into battle --- back when it was up close & personal? Any of these 3 wimps riding on a horse and swinging a broad-sword while charging at a gallop through a rain of arrows and towards an infantry holding long pikes is laughable.

It is only a matter of time before Harry comes to terms with what Meggie has brought to him. Unfortunately, he did not choose well and at that young age, spent too much time living his life between his legs. I can see how Meggie is already exploiting her black part by chumming it up with Obie, Moochie, and Oprah thinking that they will be her life line to future wealth and relevance.

Harry is not the first good man to be destroyed by a bad woman. I'm sure it works the other way around too, Harry's mother being a good example.

because where else will you enjoy the luxury of spouting racial nonsense and being revered for it?
Uhh, any place within the circle of the 495 Beltway?
It brings massive revenues from tourism.
Along with the rabbit that has a mean streak a mile wide.
The constitutional and parliamentary monarchy is an institution in United Kingdom’s DNA, a balance of power historically developed since the Magna Carta to the industrial revolution
I learned that by watching Netflix.
Britain remains one of the safest countries in Europe
Could that also be because Billy Mays' death caused Ginzu knife sales to crater?
The reason for Harry and Meghan’s departure is pure liberal-individualist narcissism.
I also learned that on Netflix via the documentary, "The Windsor's" when Harry tried to end the monarchy and get a regular job, running a night club and being a DJ.
composure and class, stoic fortitude, and a sense of duty and propriety are not due to either bloodline or money. Some people possess them, and most do not.
I sure don't but thank goodness Camilla and Charles ended Harry's night club DJ gig. Hopefully there'll be another season of The Windsor's to find out if Harry and Meghan can handle roughing it in Canada.

If the couple is serious, they should retain the "family" aspect but get rid, immediately, of the SussexRoyal designation, a form of merchandising par excellence. I love the Noblisse without the Oblige comment-----it really nails it.

Kind of reminds me of the parable of the prodigal son. Taking the part of the estate that was due him and going off to a distant land where he squandered his money on wine, women, and song. It remains to be seen whether he will come to his senses and return home.

It is a shame that people become uppity-ups; otherwise known as elitists. It is my understanding that this couple is friends with the Obamas, Oprah etc. They think they are in a class all their own and everyone else is peons or peasants.
I absolutely will not support a party that thinks they are better than others. They want to take God out of society and widely support abortion. Tells me what this class of people thinks of God and humanity.

Look how the entire world turned on Yoko, me included. Stinky, Michael, and Oprah can see where the wind is blowing and they won't want to be blamed for breaking up the Royals. I read somewhere all three are already claiming they had nothing to do with it.
Oh, and there's a bumper sticker out there that reads "I still hate Yoko".

The lesson here is when family members advise you not to marry someone listen to that advice. And when the FAMILY of your future intended almost begs you to reconsider your choice you should REALLY, REALLY listen to THEM! In this case the Markels had a front row seat to the disaster this woman is.

Yoko Ono broke up the Beatles, and Meghan Markle said Hold My Beer.
This is only the first act in this comedy...I suspect the Queen's statement following the meeting was written well in advance of their meeting.
There will be a lot of behind the scenes action that the public will never be privy to, and the Queen behind her sweet smile is ruthless, and will do what she has to do to protect the family business and quiet the public who now, following the Markle-Debacle, are looking at a Republic more favorably.

The writer perpetuates the myth that the royal family spent WWII At Buckingham Palace. . Wrong. George VI and his queen consort, the Queen Elizabeth ( Elizabeths II mother ) spent their days there , their nights at Windsor and the girls Elizabeth and Margaret lived at Windsor full time for the duration of the war. Other than that, megan is a grifter and harry has been grifted. Big time. The royal family, the reigning monarch in particular is the living link, the thread that connects the people to their shared history. Considering that it goes back over 1000 years, it really stinks that harry trashed it. Its a big smack at his grandmother whose life long service to her ( their ) country has been impeccable.

Megan would still be a second rate B actress if she had not snagged Prince Harry. The A lister's put up with her because of him not her. The way she spends money, she will bankrupt him in no time and he will go running back to Daddy for more. Both a losers.

"This has nothing to do with racism...", possibly because Meghan gives every appearance of being a white woman.
".. This incident reinforces that composure and class, stoic fortitude, and a sense of duty and propriety are not due to ... bloodline..". Here, the author politely overlooks Harry's marked resemblance to the Royal Horse Trainer.

Lena Dunham? The only time I ever saw Lena is when they filmed her on the toilet. I think that is where H&M are headed but Meghan will be wearing that $90,000 dress we recently saw her parading around in.

@ #38: Elizabeth and Margaret did not spend the whole war at Windsor. My father was in the U.S. Army in London in 1944 (before going to Normandy). He told me he saw the two princesses in a public appearance there. They did what they could to keep up the people's morale.

Windsor Palace is about 20 miles from Buckingham Palace, so it's not as if the King and Queen fled to south Wales.

Harry is the son of Charles. Diana did not meet Hewitt until Harry was 2 years old. I don't know why people like to think he's not Charles' son, but he is.

My first thought hearing the Queen's brief statement is that Windsor is trying very hard not to repeat the mistakes it made with Princess Diana. The Queen knows that if Windsor screws this up as badly as it did with Diana, this just might be the beginning of the end for the monarchy. Given her incredible service to her country, it is so very sad that Elizabeth has to deal with all of this crap at the age of 93 with her son and her grandson.

Please excuse the double. # 38 Living at Windsor did not preclude them from being in London during the day. Windsor was safer than London which was being bombed nightly during the blitz .I actually like Elizabeth and am fascinated by the lines of descent. Elizabeth is a descendant HenryVIII through his sister Margaret.

It´s fascinating to see how each prince is turning out. Wills is a now a family man who maried well (Katherine is lovely), served as a helicopter pilot, and seems to be easing into the happy and productive life of a working future-king.
Harry served his Queen and country admirably in the army, sowed his wild oats, and then --- what ?!? I have no doubt that he truly loves Meghan, but she might as well have "Social Climber" tattood on her forehead. Harry´s in love, and he appears to be letting his Johnson lead him around. Meghan is an obvious taker, and after she gets what she wants, she´ll dump him. It´s tawdry, and it has to be horrible for the Queen, who at 93 keeps on doing her job flawlessly. This is all about Meghan, and it´s all bad. She´s nothing but trouble, and this won´t end well.
I´ve always admired the Queen. Between discovering that her son is a sex offender, and then this terrible marriage, she´s clearly very sad and upset. No one deserves this less than she, and I pray for her.
