The picture of the Queen with Andrew yesterday makes it even worse. I do understanw that despite everything Andrew remains her son and a prince and cannot be stripped of his HRH his birth right. Or for the RF they believe that been excluded from formal representative role on behalf of the RF and UK is enough pusnishement ? I just believe the Queen, charles mainly could have done something more to show unity and that no matter the critics they are pround of Meghan work and she is a member of the RF. Anyway a new chapter ahead and wish them well. Money is not all but i hope they wil find interesting jobs that will enanle them to live raise their child and future children and support their charities. It is fair that after trying harry life they also try meghan's and find a compromise in between. Who knows ? May be they can help william and.kate preparing for a transition. Think about it charles may be king in 3 to 5 years. I see him.stick to the throne till his death unless a very huge scandal comes in. That leaves william for another 20 years minimum before he ascend the throne himself. So in about 20 -30 years will the monarchy still big institution ? . Let wait and see.

She has faced rabid hate-filled coverage right from the dating days by the media, slandered by her own family and who knows what else. The saddest part IMO was that she was so horribly treated during her pregnancy and post-partum period. I doubt anyone commenting her could handle that and still keep a smile on their face for a week let alone 2 years. <br /><br />Where did they say they thought the press would leave them alone? I doubt they are that naive to think there will be no media interest.

She completed some fantastic initiatives (Together Cookbook, Smart Works etc) and from the engagement she said she was determined to hit the ground running and work hard and learn as much as she could. Who would do that if they have "little knowledge or appreciation" for the monarchy? It's an unfair and untrue assumption to make about a woman who tried her best. And labelling her the "wildcard they never saw coming"? You're suggesting she's against the monarchy and as a "career goal" wants to take it down single-handedly? And obviously her love for Harry and Archie isn't strong enough for her to hold back on reaching her goal? It sounds like something the Daily Mail would put out to further the hatred of Meghan.<br /><br />I'm not saying it will be an super easy transition for Harry, but I think he should be given the benefit of the doubt because only HE knows what's best for him and his wife and son. If life as full-time royals was the best option for them, they would still be full-time royals. Just because he's never experienced life outside the Firm before doesn't mean it's going to be a failure.<br /><br />Luciehttp://www.un-fancy.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-70941556823019050202020-01-20T02:25:29.812+00:002020-01-20T02:25:29.812+00:00Uh, perhaps you’ve forgotten that Meghan gave up l...Uh, perhaps you’ve forgotten that Meghan gave up literally everything to move to the UK? Being highly intelligent, as you’ve given her credit for, I doubt this is something she’d do lightly or without extensive thought. I believe Meghan has a lot of respect for the family she married into. Now, she and Harry are making a decision for the health of their own family unit. Harry isn’t just being strung along on a whim. <br /><br />I also find your insinuation rather offensive that just because she’s American and from a different culture that she can’t and/or wouldn’t respect another culture’s royal institution.

I am relieved for them to be away from whatever went on behind the scenes. In the interview from South Africa, when asked about all her privilege, Meghan said, "It's not what it seems." I think that was very telling. I pray that the Daily Mail will tire of hounding them soon, or at least that they will be more able to ignore it from North America. I appreciate the Queen's warm endorsement of Meghan in her statement, and regret she could not have spoken up for her sooner. <br /><br />Thank you for continuing this lovely blog, Charlotte. Your even-handedness in everything is such a relief, and so much appreciated. <br /><br />RAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-83422646659503887502020-01-19T22:22:19.484+00:002020-01-19T22:22:19.484+00:00As a mother who is going through stuff with our tw...As a mother who is going through stuff with our two early-20s daughters, I can say that we do not know what is going on behind closed doors with the Andrew situation.<br /><br />One daughter’s issues were a little more known but that’s because she was very much about trying to control her public narrative and image whereas the other’s issues are not known at all as she says and does nothing to anybody other than us and her closest friends.<br /><br />To my brother, it seems that I’m letting her getting away with murder, and he is very vocal about how angry he is at her and her actions. But what he doesn’t know about are all the discussions we’ve had and the subsequent doctors’ appointments and counseling sessions, among other things. He continues to be mad as it’s not my place to divulge her medical issues and also because she has sworn me to secrecy as she works out her issues. <br /><br />Anyway, just a possible insight to what the queen is going through.

While Harry and Meghan retain HRH they are not using them. I think this may change down the line given the "the plan will be reviewed in 2021". I read this as a compromise on both parts. I think they really just need breathing room and we will see them come back into official royal status as Prince William moves closer to being King and becomes Prince of Wales when Charles becomes King. Hopefully by then the harshness that has plagued Meghan by the media and some of the public lessens. I would hope that the longer they are married the more people simmer down.
