On a scale of one (no interest) to ten (very interested) indicate how interested you are in the story about the Windsor royals thinking of splitting from the firm.
I am interested more for the insult to our queen of 94 years old.
Yep this couple may want a step back, they should have asked princess Ann Harrys aunt how to go about that one.
I do not think Harry will ever be forgiven for the way he went about it. It could have been managed if that is what they both wanted I say BOTH want without insulting our queen.
Royalty and the (Firm) is changing and evolving slowly but our queen should not be so insulted whatever one thinks of Royals this is one person that should be given common curtseys to the end

Yes, I have to agree with you. The success of the Windsor brand relies on solidarity. Their exit should have been a carefully choreographed exit. What they have done is immature and damaging. It is also fraught with hypocrisy - by expressing the desire to earn their own income, they will by definition be trading off the popularity and fame of the very brand that they want to distance themselves from.
The Queen is holding it all together, the next i line is a non event, William will do a great job. All power to thr other bloke, he seems decent enough.

WoW! Really?
Both Harry and his lovely Duchess will be forgiven and allowed to have themselves and their children... and future generations out of the running of being inline to rule......
I kind of expect it...but not in such a disrespectful way... I did expect this couple to remove themselves from the Royal scene because they do not belong there anyway... I bet the Queen would've loved to kick their arses out faster than the protocol and all...

And personally I believe the royal family can afford to weaken itself as a tourist attraction. It's an old-fashioned view but I think monarchy is worth something aside from its contribution to the GDP. It's better off losing the money if it means it can keep its class and ability to stabilise society. There must be something to contain the explosion of child narcissism we've been through the last 50 years and I believe that thing is nobility.
And there's a reason for that and a reason to be hopeful. Even after everything the baby boomers did a person like William can still be born. Harry is what you'd expect after the baby boomers, but William is nothing of the kind. William is living proof that posterity can be more of a man than their dad ever was, and this is exactly the role model we need.
Given how the British mass media treated them, especially Meghan, it's long overdue. And given the current situation in the world - a continent burning, escalating hostilities in ME, an airoplan with civilians shot down to name some - Harry and Meghan attempting to leave Windsor soap opera is a non-issue. Or should be in a world with different priorities.
I wish some of Bernadottes would go feed themselves. Fat chance, those leaches.
And in a world of Donald Trump and Boris where our oh so much more sophisticated friends on the left seem incapable of fielding an electable candidate I strongly feel that Elizabeth and William become important. You need someone who carry off dignity, someone who can behave like a statesmen.

Good point. I think the queen should have passed things over to Charlie two or three years ago, I think he deserves his chance. Hell, even the pope can abdicate.
When William married Kate she knew what she was getting into. She has lived in the environment all her life so she knew what the monarchy expected of her to be married a prince.
Meghan was an actress from Canada. I'm sure Harry explained to her also what would be expected of her but it wasn't as strict as Kate because William will be King someday, Meghan would never be married to a King. Therefore she probably didn't see the monarchy a problem for the lifestyle she wanted to live.
However, Meghan has proven time after time that she is not cut out for the strict lifestyle or for the Queen to be her boss. She has complained about it many times in interviews that "it is hard living the lifestyle".
Meghan was probably coming undone in the privacy with Harry. He was a young boy when his mother was killed when paparazzi were chasing her car. No doubt he is going to do everything he can to protect Meghan and Archie and I don't blame him.
I don't think he knew Meghan well enough when he married her. Perhaps she acted her way through the courtship. Nobody knows. I believe that she loves Harry and Archie and it's obvious that Harry loves both of them. If this was happening in America the couple would go their separate ways and be done with it but when you have a government sponsoring your lifestyle and your title you can't just walk away.
Meghan and Harry didn't make the decision in the spur of the moment. She signed a contract with Walt Disney to do voiceovers in Disney films long before the announcement to leave the monarchy. This might be her start to getting back into Hollywood where she feels comfortable.
I don't think the Queen will be happy to know that her grandsons wife, who is a princess by marriage, is working in cartoon movies

I think Harry has a lot of unresolved, appears to be Meghan front and center with Harry going along with her whims. I don't think that'll end well for Harry...only time will tell

I agree and also think that Harry has unresolved issues concerning his mum's death. He went through therapy to help with the pain of losing his mother but it's not easy putting something like that behind you.
I don't care that she wants to leave the monarchy. What I do care about is that in the early stages of her marriage there were signs that she was coming between the loving relationship of William and Harry.
I'm glad that Diana can't see the riff that has happened between her sons all caused by a woman
Everyone including me has an opinion about what we think is going on! Truth is we only know what we read in the press the internet or saw on TV. Since when has the press actually reported unbiaised information about the royals or someone they're witch hunting?
How can anyone even think they know best what and how Harry and Maghan should be acting?

I don't think anyone said they know what is best for Harry and Meghan.
The OP's first post is:
"On a scale of one (no interest) to ten (very interested) indicate how interested you are in the story about the Windsor royals thinking of splitting from the firm."
He's asking for opinions. That's what the posters did. I gave my opinion.
This thread is no different from any of the many threads about Trump.
Twice I posted that Meghan is going to be doing voiceovers in cartoon movies in Hollywood and nobody opined about that. I think her doing that is going to have a big affect on how the Queen handles this. Personally, I think it's embarrassing to walk out on the monarchy to go to Hollywood. I don't have any love for the monarchy or the Queen but I do think the Queen deserves some respect.
I don't follow the British royal family, nor any other royal family.
But I would say be that being born into the family is like being born into the mafia, and just as difficult to leave.
It is nobody's fault which family they are born into. Some people feel like they own the lives of the royal family. They don't. They are just other human beings,
People should be able to live their lives the best way they can for themselves and their kids.
secretagent09: Gimme a break. "suffering through morning sickness" Do you have any idea how many women suffer through morning sickness? Even Kate suffered tremendously and never whined about it.
OMG, "she gave up this she gave up that" Any woman who gets married gives up something.
Get a grip Galrad.........
"The entire world chewed her up, spat her out and then demanded more." The entire world believed she was a phony, that all she wanted was to be a princess. Now she's a princess and she doesn't want it anymore. Now she is going back to Hollywood to do voiceovers in Disney movies
