General Chat

Interesting that Prince Harry wrote 'progressive new role within this institution.'

I take that to mean that, no matter how few, he still expects and will still perform the duties of a prince or representative of the Queen.

Still thinking, as I wrote a while ago, HM will find something for him to do, if not GG.

As Sylvia responded then, Canada has to issue an invitation for that post. Feverish activity between HM and Canadian govt may be taking place as I write? Time will tell.

I may be over-thinking here. :-D :-S

Rollo whilst we might cover Royal expenses why should we if we get nothing in return from them if they just want to live their own lives from now on? As I said before having their cake and eating it....go off and be free to do what you want but pay for it yourself....or are we expected to now pay for private security for any celebrity who wants to enjoy our beautiful country but doesn't want to actually be seen??

Let them go wherever they want & good riddance. I think she always looked conniving.

Succinctly put and straight to the point, Dermot. :-D

Exactly how I was taught.

However, (there's a wrong start to a sentence that my English teacher would have jumped on :-D), politicians tend to run off at the mouth and regurgitate the same mantra over and over and over ....

For the most part, they also think the general public is gullible! :-S

I am sure I read speculation around the time they married, maybe even before, that they might well live abroad.It was Africa that was mentioned at that time.

You would make a fine politician, Dermot :-D

Following the tsunami of verbal/written diarrhoea we have had to endure recently from the wretched media concerning the Royal Family‘s difficulty, I have always been grateful to my teacher(s) who encouraged my ability to read & write from a very early age. :-D

Looks that way Island.

…….and Harry of course is a stupid blithering idiot without a mind of his own? :-S :-( :-\

Giving my personal opinion .

Harry has got mixed up with Meghan and she is playing the ACTRESS wanting him to get ALL THE MONEY but not do anything for it.

She is not wanting to stop in the UK as she doesn't know what living as a Royal means like towing the line and in future she will have to curtsey to Kate which she won't like.

All her life she has been able to do what SHE wants and not follow protocol like she has to do now she married Harry.

With the 10 million pounds Harry got from his mother and the 3 million pounds that
Meghan has got.

Surely that will give them a good living where ever in the World they live.

Then NO NEED to ask for 5% of the money from the Queen and 95% from Charles.

If she doesn't like being the centre of attention why marry Harry. Cos she knew she was on to a good food/clothes pay out if they split.

I couldn't give a Monkey's Toss where they live so long as they DON'T GET ANY MONEY FROM THE QUEEN (Tax payers) and Charles.

The only way that Canada could avoid paying H&M security costs would be by repealing the Dominion Act and becoming a Republic. Unlikely.

The biggest hole in Harry s plan is that it relies on good will from his father and brother despite shafting the firm. Given that he has a very good wedge of assets maybe he should just live on that.

Did the press really get this information from Harry before or after he had approached HM about it? I don't believe he would have left the Queen out of the loop as he is well aware of protocol, rather that it was left to him when and what to release for publication.

Edit: his Gran may yet find a job for him. ;-)

Reports are that they left baby Archie in Canada (?) with the nanny, and Meghan has now rushed back to him after only 3 days in the UK.

:-D :-D :-D :-D
Yep! Know the feeling!

The ship was a regular visitor between Norway and Grimsby. It usually called in every three or four weeks. The captain was a very pleasant man. a grandfather himself.

We enjoyed many whiskies on those visits, which is why we probably forgot our son :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D
What an amazing attitude!

:-D :-D :-D

We rushed back to the ship just before it was due to sail, and there was our son still sound asleep in the Captain's cabin. His nonchalant reply was "That's OK we would have brought him back on the next trip, but he might be speaking Norwegian" :-D :-D

:-D :-D Allan. When I was a child it was commonplace to see a row of prams complete with babies outside the shops, and it wasn't unknown for a harassed mum to get home and find she was a baby down :-D :-D :-0

Meghan has returned to Canada it as been reported leaving Harry to the fall out, and what I meant earlier by harry and Meghan having a short courtship is that the royal family on the whole have long engagements the ones that have short ones eg Princess Matgaret, Princess Diana to name two their marriages failed

First child and all that. They could just have forgotten him.

And before anyone jumps down my throat, OH and I nearly left our son on a ship when he was almost a month old. :-0

Sometimes over the last forty odd years, I wish we had :-D :-D
