What final decisions?
I guess it's to do with their HRH titles and if they will lose those. Suspect this isn't so much about their freedom but more about MM not wanting to live in UK. She got her guy and he has potential to make them a lot of money.

She is Harry's equivalent to Beckham's PR savvy Spice Girl

Possibly but can see a divorce coming in a few years time.
Yeah, I can also see that happening. He wont have much trustworthy emotional support network in N America, and everyone he meets will be have an exploitative agenda. I think he will endure some serious personality disorder issues.

Except this time... he's the Posh one!

Posh & Megs!
That has potential .... surprised none of the tabloids ran with that. Maybe they will in USA ... though Meghan would claim it's yet another personal insult!

I think Harry's N.America circumstance and challenge is quite similar to Beckham's. They should talk.

Incredible the arrogance the media have when they get called out for their bullshit. I hope Harry and Meghan take them to the cleaners and I hope they use tax payers money for their legal fees.

He's been pretty open about mental health so that's something to build on, but it seems "what Meghan wants, Meghan gets" is fitting in this situation.

I feel like wearing camo gear and carrying a machine gun 24/7 would bring its own negative attention.

Yes, suits have been emasculating men for decades!
While that post is dumb - her Twitter account confuses me in today s hyper partisan environment. She actually makes sense on some things and doesn't walk the MAGA line without second thought it seems. She appears to be very anti DeVos for instance - which I wish more conservatives would be vocal on. Still - who is she?

Anyway.. Bit OT. I digress.

I never thought I could enjoy this crap so much. I'm becoming a royalist myself. I now support one of the claimants to the Portuguese throne. He looks awesome.

With monarchies we live for scandals.

I dunno - seems like some of the other monarchies in the world do a decent job at keeping things on the down low. You Brits basically invented (fake) drama and exported it here (thanks but not really).
I'm Norwegian :)

Google Princess Mette Marit. I don't mean the stories about Jeffrey Epstein but her past before the marriage to the crown prince. She's definitely grown with the role though.

But what are the people producing and selling all the royal family related trinkets gonna do? What about your national anthem? So many questions.
Jerusalem. Done.

As for the Union Jack-wearing lunatics, we'd be doing them a favour.

Damn managed to insult you in another threat by calling you a Brit. :smirk:

I'll Google it. She sounds interesting.

The fact there is more hysteria in UK over this than that Andrew fella being potentially a paedophile or a sexual predator is mental.
It's a mental world we live in. Those people raging on Twitter about Harry and Meghan's exit seriously need to get their priorities right.

The only way I believe their motivations is purely privace and not financial is if they really live a quiet secluded life in Canada or something.

But my bet is they'll come up with shenagigans like Keeping up with the "Ex" Royals TV show American Made, probably a reality show or something design to 100% exploit their lives. Some books and memoirs that promises "Behind the screen rant" while it's probably filled up with half cocked stories from Meghan sides, Meghan will have her own TV show soon for sure, you can bet on it.

And if it doesn't work like the Beckhams, they'll get divorced and harry would like his wound and back to Britain, and the taxpayers money will now be paying for ex wife support.

@Sky1981, I really don't think their (her) reasons are privacy. Imo she hasn't settled in Britain and thinks they have an opportunity to make serious cash by explioting their royal links. They could go a similar route to the Obamas for example, after the white house. She seems to have a habit of cutting ties when it gets tough.

We shall see I guess, whatever it is we'll be hearing from them pretty much soon
