They don't court the media and the only obligation they have to us is to visit other countries and charm them into doing business with us, whilst doing good charity work.
Sure they have a certain responsibility to us but we don't own their soles. I have never read these private letters between Meghan and her dad, and even though they were published, I would still wonder, and even question, why anyone would have any interest in reading them? Any on here
Harry is too close to the throne to be culled like the Swedish King did with the lower ranks and if he were, the cost of his personal security would cost as much as would be saved.
For Harry and William the silver spoon was whipped from their mouths the night Diana was killed and this royalty lark has been a curse for them. They paid the price early for all their privileges and I don't think they owe us anything.

William's a Villa fan - I'm surprised he's not been on here giving it large.
FFS I know how this soap opera ends. After a few more dramas a truce is called. William and Kate do all the formal hard work, like travelling round the world first class, commonwealth walk abouts and other vital meeting and greeting stuff. Harry and Megan do all the caring charitable stuff and we all (we all = the establishment press and devote believers), learn to love and respect the heirs of Diana.
All in all this is a really good thing. Given they way we have been going through monarchs in battle the last few years, it make sense to stockpile them and make sure that we have a least 47 lines of hereditary heirs carefully cosseted away, regardless of the cost. The alternative is just too horrible to describe. Imagine if we had to go abroad and import one of those loathsome European royalists to be our monarch. How utterly ghastly.

I definitely think it’s a double-edged swords. Sure, you’re financially very secure, but that’s about the only positive thing. The constant intrusion from the press, having your every action jumped on. Genuinely think that would be horrendous. I would have lashed out many times by now. Fair play to all of them.

And probably the majority of people in the country (and I expect 90%+ of those on this board) would describe themselves as financially secure, so there goes the upside. To me that generation of royals have the chance, that most of us don't, to make a difference in the world about the things they are passionate about, poverty, landmines, womens education etc. That's the only reason I'd possibly choose to swap places with one of them ............. actually ......... Meghan v My Mrs? ....... ahhhh ok, i'd swap with Harry
All I have to say is that everyone has their challenges.. Being a new mother is tough enough, now imagine doing it with people constantly saying vile lies about you. It wears on you. I feel bad for Meagan, and hope she will be alright. Wish the tabloids would go away.

I understand it's been brewing for a while and originally stemmed from the' Buy our Queen a yacht campaign' https://www.civilsociety.co.uk/news/fundraising-underway-for--60m-yacht-gift-for-queen.html
They argued about whether or not they should put any money towards it themselves or let the general public donate the full amount. Also I think it is widely understood that Princesses Catherine and Meghan don't see eye to eye and they have different conflicting priorities.
Graham Potter would be well qualified to sort that out!...… and I'm not entirely joking.

Whatever I thought before, Toby Young is a sh1t of the first order. He knows about as much about emotional intelligence as my cat knows about astrology.... and I haven't got a cat.
I'm now firmly on Meghan's side!!!!
Actually I'm not really bothered, but I do think that the treatment that the royals get from certain sections of the press and social media is disgusting and I hope she wins her case against the Daily Mail!

You did but when you quote a post with a tweet, your post appears to be part of the original post. It's a quirk on Nsc.

No amount of money, privilege or titles prevent post natal depression.
If she w suffering from a physical illness, she would have sympathy but mental health is treated differently by some people.
Of course my American cousin is for Harry and I am for William. Who is the future of England and the renewal of the continuing monarchy? Trump will be dispatched to losing his fortunes and Harry & Meghan will be the prince & princess of the future America. The brothers will further separate with Harry possibly moving to Los Angeles area.
