UK United Kingdom Royal Family / Royal Families Drama General Thread - formerly "Prince Harry and Meghan to step back as senior royals"

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have announced they will step back as "senior" royals and work to become financially independent.

In a statement, Prince Harry and Meghan also said they plan to split their time between the UK and North America.

The BBC understands no other royal - including the Queen or Prince William - was consulted before the statement and Buckingham Palace is "disappointed".

Senior royals are understood to be "hurt" by the announcement.

In their unexpected statement on Wednesday, also posted on their Instagram page, the couple said they made the decision "after many months of reflection and internal discussions".

"We intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen."

They said they plan to balance their time between the UK and North America while "continuing to honour our duty to the Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages".

"This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity."

A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said discussions with the duke and duchess on their decision to step back were "at an early stage", adding: "We understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through."

The couple's announcement on Wednesday comes two months after the Duke of York withdrew from public life after a BBC interview about his ties to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who killed himself in August.

Or one plane crash away from the United Republic of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The UK got rid of hereditary peerages without any particular upheaval, so there's precedent.

At the very least, the public opposition to Harry on the throne would force Parliament to rule him ineligible, regardless of whatever formal process exists. The monarchy exists as long as the people allow it to exist; Parliament might notionally recognise the supremacy of the monarch, but the reality is that Parliament is supreme. It can simply rewrite the line of succession whenever it likes, and has done in the past.

This all assumes that Charles doesn't boot him out of the succession in the meantime, which is a very real possibility, if Harry carries on the way he has been.

At the very least, the public opposition to Harry on the throne would force Parliament to rule him ineligible, regardless of whatever formal process exists.

But he’s not, in fact, “one plane crash away from the throne” — unless William keeps up the very unwise habit of flying with his entire family (often piloting himself). Harry is fifth in line, which is too close for comfort for me.

Life is about trade-offs. Harry was told unequivocally by QEII that there was no half-in/half-out approach to being a working royal. You can’t be a little pregnant and you can’t be a little front-line royal. They chose being professional entertainers over being working royals. That’s fine, but they didn’t imagine it would ever mean giving up any of the privileges they were accustomed to. Harry was blindsided to find out they would lose security.

It’s no coincidence that they misrepresented the sequence of events in their Netflix show, implying security was pulled prior to Megxit. This is false and they know it.

In addition to the hilarity of him losing this case, it’s fun just to think about how much Netflix and Spotify income he’s spent on lawsuits — and will continue to do so. He’s had half a dozen major cases going for years, and is having to pay out significant sums including covering his opponents’ legal fees after losing. It’s glorious.

Meanwhile, even Rachel’s casual outfits continue to cost upwards of thousands of pounds. I look forward to the predictable bankruptcy storyline for these two nigger-rich liars.

There are four people between him and the throne.

And the four of them don't all travel on the same plane anymore, as I understand it, for that specific reason.

Hank and Skank LEFT the BRF.
You leave a job, you lose the perks.

Ask Harry what happened to HIS stiff upper lip and national pride.
I have pre-teen grandsons who are bigger men than he can ever hope to be.

He did more than just "leaving".

He didn't say "father, grandmother, my new wife who I love feels more comfortable living in US because of her career. I think I need to go with her. I'll try to do my best to keep up with my royal responsibilities, but I think I should give up to some privileges in order to enjoy more freedom to be with her. Please, understand, I know you will because I love you and you love me. We will be here whenever you and England need us because it is our duty since we were born."

He said: "YOU ALL HATE MY WIFE BECAUSE SHE IS BLACK, YOU HATE ME BECAUSE I'M NOT WILLIAM, AND CAMILA IS A WHORE WHO KILLED MOM! TURNS OUT YOU ALL ARE RACISTS FOR ALL THE THINGS OUR ANCESTORS DID AND I WANT NOTHING WITH THIS FAMILY OR COUNTRY, I'M MOVING TO THE LAND OF FREEDOM FROM WHERE WE CAN FIGHT INEQUALITY AND BIGOTRY FROM OUR MANSIO-- WHAT YOU MEAN YOU AREN'T PAYING FOR OUR MANSION, EXPENSES, AND SECURITY?? DON'T THE PEOPLE KNOW THEIR TAXES ARE USED TO FREE THEM FROM COLONIALISM AND EXPLOITATION???! DAAAAD!!!"

how far away from the reverse? like, the monarchy staging a top-down coup to take power away from parliament back into the kings hand?

The last king that (kind of) tried to do that was beheaded.

Yes, with the caveat that all the Commonwealth states, constituent countries, crown dependencies etc would also have to make the same changes otherwise they could end up with different monarchs. Last time they changed it it took years of international negotiation to make sure everyone made the same change at the same time.

True, very true. It would certainly be a lot less complicated if they convinced Chuck to fix the issue before it became a problem.

 

[Geraldine]

So in theory, if it's not all hashed out properly, you could end up with Harry as the king of (for example) Papua but not the UK?

Really? I find BPD whore lolcows highly entertaining— if also horrifying. It’s really mind-boggling to watch her operate and realize there are millions of people who buy her complete phony package.

Within the first 60 seconds of their engagement interview, it was obvious this trashbox was 100% fake and a bad actress to boot. It still beggars belief that ANYBODY was fooled by her.

 

[Get the rope Macaulay!]

William will disown and exile at most.

the only one on Harry's side was Chuck. William's seen him as the Fredo the entire time. Chuck was always his parents least favorite (being the artsy soft boi in an outdoorsy military family does that) so he gave Harry a massive leash. especially after it was obvious Diana was telling Willy all about his willy. Chuck was the only one to welcome Meg with open arms because as a super lefty Chuck always loved the heckin niggerinos. (a bit odd how none of them cared to participate in his coronation)

William was probably telling his dad to lock Harry up in the tower since they were teenagers.

 

[Geraldine]

Their officially self so called entertainment is not entertaining.
But they themselves are screamingly funny.

 

[John Andrews Stan]

The rumor mill about this family has reached the point where I overheard businessmen in suits speculating on it all in the airport lounge. Between this and Horner, Xitter is doing very well out of the Brits this week.

The series of amateur moves by the respective royal households lately is striking. Didn’t William just start hiring former political handlers as courtiers? Hardly a coincidence, then.

Good thing they seem to have the “Don’t trust Harry with any info ever again” policy firmly in place.

 

[Faceless Whore]

She definitely thinks herself above black people and went thru lengths to hide that heritage and is insulted to be treated like she were black ( whatever that means in her tiny little victim brain).

People usually make a big deal out of the fact that Meghan ghosted her father and the white side of her family. What most people don't know is Meghan iced out the black side of her family (her mother's side) so completely people don't even realize they exist. (Fuck I've been searching for an hour and I can't even find a decent media article on them. Best I can find is this Quora post with photos of them.)

Spoiler: offtopic sperging about how fucking stupid black people are

And BUHLAQUE PIPO, being fucking retarded, naturally blamed this on the Monarchy. Besides being laughably stupid, even if it were true it's not as if Meghan couldn't have used that big mouth of hers to talk about them or her Netflix bux to bring them into her new life, inviting them to events, etc. which she hasn't.

And if it were true it would make Meghan complicit in that racism because she didn't walk away from the marriage proposal or raise a fuss about her buhlaque relatives being memoryholed but quietly married Harry and participated in royal life anyway. Black people scream about institutional racism literally everywhere else in the world and they're STRONK AND BRAVE and BUHLAQUE POWAH and CANNOT BE STOPPED, but when Meghan is supposedly silent about this it's "She was SILENCED, she was TOTALLY HELPLESS AND POWERLESS and her AGENCY was TAKEN AWAY FROM HER by the ALL POWERFUL EBIL WIPIPO" who somehow overpowered a self-described strong independent black woman like Meghan but not all of the other black people speaking up about literally everything else. Either black people are powerful and cannot be silenced or they're absolutely helpless to stop WIPIPO from crushing them, you niggers make up your damn mind because it can't be both.

To think I was once a libtard who blindly took these people seriously. Black people are a fucking joke.

They have never, not once to my knowledge been invited to anything or even mentioned at all by Meghan. None of them were invited to the wedding. (AFAIK her mother was the only black blood relative there.) Meghan never acknowledges them, and none of them have been a part of her life at all since she hit the golddigger jackpot married Harry, not even after "finding freedom" in the U.S.

I've heard speculation that this is because she knows that side of her family wouldn't hold back and would spill the truth about her.

Also relevant: "people didn't treat me like a 'Black woman' before moving to England"

Imagine the tsunami of schadenfreude.

Spoiler: Here comes the banwagon, ALL ABOOOAARRDDD!!!

There's lots of "well it's tHeIr LoSs" sour grapes cope shit and it irritates me. It's just like "tHeY'rE jUsT jEaLoUs" cope.
They don't like you. That's it. Fair or unfair, reasonable or unreasonable, they just don't like you retard, just accept it and quit with the obnoxious "poor me" asshurt selfsoothing.

Reddit balkanization continues:

(As if your solitaire-and-male-hookers romance book sub wouldn't get swarm reported by angry Sugars.)

lol:


Sounds like Reddit isn't the only place poor Sinners are getting put in the naughty corner.


In case you're wondering the calibre of people posting in r/SMM:

Suck it up Sinners, Reddit is the domain of tranny jannies now. Snark is Hate, Free Speech is Violence, Woke is Law, the correctional girldickraping will continue until morale improves.




Punitive girldickrape applies to all thoughtcriminals of every race, creed and Oppression Olympics ranking no exceptions.


To top it off OP is now also banned from r/SMM.

Even she knows around them she can't relax.

Particularly since she plays the race card after having passed for white.

None of them were invited to her wedding, so I think we do know — but many might not realize it because the RACIST!!!!! media that supposedly did everything possible to DESTROY!!!! Meghan didn’t go deep that on topic, if they touched it at all.

Reddit is retarded. Look at the Blogsnark sub for another example of insanity. They banned all conversations about the BRF years ago because the mods and membership considered the most innocuous posts about MM as literally KKK white supremacy.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Meghan wasn't treated as a black woman, she was treated as an American.
