Do I think they can 'duck out' in Vancouver ? Probably not - but at least the UK tabloid press will have to freeze their bits off in winter to annoy the couple.
Trench, now a 'Republican' ?)))
I'm no fan of the Royal Family but I would say it should be an 'All In or All Out' deal. The arrangement that has been reached amounts to cherry picking the lucrative bits while ducking the duty. It allows Meg & Harry to go off and build up profitable ventures without the risk due to income that they will still gain by still being Royals, i.e Duchy of Cornwall, etc.
In fact a recent article on the BBC website detailing where they got all their money from surprised me. They all benefit from several sources all of which are derived from the population over time, taxpayers, assets seized over the centuries, etc. They are vastly wealthy yet you can see by Harry's face that he is put out by the $2.4 million they need to pay back of taxpayers money for the refurbishment of Frogmore cottage, despite having vast sums of money to have been capable of doing this themself.
For me it looks like it is high time that the whole Royal Family existence itself should be questioned. The next thing a Referendum should be held on I think.
What a sad story. They hounded and bullied her until it was no longer tenable to stay, just like Diana. They'll never learn until it hits them in the wallet. I hope she bankrupts them all.
People say I'm too critical of Meghan Markle - but she ditched her family, ditched her Dad, ditched most of her old friends, split Harry from William & has now split him from the Royal Family. I rest my case.
Markle could already have a team in mind. Her mother, after all, calls L.A. home and Markle's no stranger to the area herself. She was born in the suburb of Canoga Park.
Dammit! I was really hoping they'd stay in Canada!

LMAO! The suburb of Canoga Park??!! Where exactly is this 'suburb'? Canoga Park, outside of Pacoima and Van Nuys, is the cesspit of the San Fernando Valley.
I always thought NO HO was the cesspit.
Not anymore. NoHo has become eclectic and artsy these days with all the effort to revitalize the community. They even have their own art district these days. It's close vicinity to Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Burbank - most of the hubbab of Hollywood studios had been making NoHo a place to be for the Holly-wannabes.

Canoga Park, OTOH, is well, still Canoga Park as it always was.
We do not comment on their private schedule..
The X?-royal couple showed up in Miami news today waving to everybody. So much for their we want 'privacy' claims..

They just have a problem with the paparazzi that’ll follow them into the bathroom.%#*@ on their cameras.
I bet he will sit on some Boards and do a little endorsing. Kind of behind the scenes type stuff. Not too much to embarrass his grandmother. Just enough to put aside $500,000,000 or so.

Jone, have you ever even been a prince? I've personally had
all sorts of actual experience, very important experience!
1. I actually saw the tower of London
2. Listened to the Beatles.
3. Took a photo of Big Ben
Sir Paul, I'll have you know is a knight. Now I need to be treated
as a total expert and everyone else should realize that arguments
that differ in any way from mine are total bollox and they are
posting daft.
I will also follow you around and bring up this topic on every
thread across all the forums forever until I die even if I never
ever make a point.
:D
Hey. Did you watch the movie, Yesterday? It was a gas. Especially if you are a Beatles fan, like me. Even if you're not a Beatles fan it is still a good flick. My kids liked it. And they had no idea who Ringo is (was).

I wonder what Harry will use as a last name, now that he is now longer a practicing senior royal?
Experts who oft bumped into Harry's family
Do I need to break out my photo of Big Ben?
That would only enhance your DAFTNESS..
That would only enhance your DAFTNESS..
Pray tell us the connection of Harry and Meghan to a BELL that isn't even in use a the mo ...?
After, the split of his parents where did Harry spend half his time ? Was it London, Manchester ( :rolleyes: ) or nr. Tetbury - a small town 15 mins from me ?
Which pubs did he go to and where was he banned ?
Looking forward to you trying to find this on 'Google' ..
I'm a world renown expert on all things Royal because I
had a photo of myself with a Beefeater, so now you are
posting DAFT.
Big Ben AND a Beefeater, you need to back off and post
on things you know.
No irony spotted and you can't answers MY questions as Google won't help you ..
Difference between Hugh Grant and Harry? Huge paid much less for his BJ than Harry did/will. Quality of the service provider - much of a muchness.....
I'm a royalist but to be frank, I think Harry has milked the public sympathy of "My mum died when I was young" more than enough. If you take that away from his speaking engagements, there doesn't seem to be much else of substance....

My last posts sailed over your head. If you asked, somebody might
help you out.
'Sailed over my head' ;)
Like a Scots King never ruled England ? :ROFL:
DAFT posters shouldn't get protected from my pointing out their howlers ..
Clue James I of Britain and Ireland ( includes England) - he was James VI of Scotland - first in the Stuart dynasty - after the Tudors .. :welcome:
I was doing a Moby, claiming expertise because of some lame connection
like a photo of Big Ben and having been to London for a few days. I know
nothing and care even less about Palace intrigue in the UK.
So yes, it sailed over your head.

Yet another drive-by troll fail by Mr Mistake.
The point is that although Harry was making a spectacle of himself, as a youth it did not mean photos of his life, constantly in the papers..
The locals knew he had a Prtection detail to whisk him off.
Now, having 'settled down' he and his family should be allowed some privacy..on private property..their home, etc.,
Some folk seem to think their being paid to attend events means they are 'open season' for the 'press' at all times.
His wife's Dad...no matter what passes between them should NOT be selling his 'recollectoons' to the press.
So YOU say but, you're wrong all the time. :ROFL:
-
Harry and Meghan are media whores. They cling to it like flies to sh*t. If they wanted privacy, they'd have it

Does Harry....re Invictus?
Mr 'nick's s not as apt as yours.. You're as off piste as ever with your knowledge and conclusions...
This is the perfect example:
A few writs flying around re the lack of privacy in places all should expect it would be a clue to a more discerning, reasoned, chap..
Harry, a 35-year-old man who knows little of the real world, let alone macro- and micro-economics or likely how to work an ATM, spoke to an audience including former Prime Minister Tony Blair, Patriots owner Robert Kraft and architect Sir Norman Foster.
..I had “no other option” given the “many years of challenges I faced as a result of losing my mother, I was forced march behind her casket as a 12-year-old boy, and the ongoing mental health challenges from which I suffer. Every single time I hear a click, every single time I see a flash, it takes me straight back.”
GQB
Harry has been a 'Royal' PiA - but where YOU present in his life ? Do you know the circumstances of expectations a kid was subjected to by being told he must follow his VERY famous Mum's coffin through a somewhat hysterical outpouring of grief ?
He's clearly damaged goods in that respect - but he's clearly decided his family shouldn't have to put up with media intrusion in places where the media should be respecting their privacy .....
Do you know the grief of millions of children the world over that REALLY suffered under the hands of the colonists when they raped and murdered THEIR mothers in cold blood in the name of YOUR king/queen? Were YOU present in any of their lives? Silly question, isn't it?
YUP. He is a pampered damaged goods who now will understand what life is really like. Period. If he's trying to avoid media intrusion and shield his family from it, then WTF he, and his wife, keep chasing media attention by lining up all these speaking arrangements?
This idiot is fair game now. That's just the facts.
So much for the privacy.

You gotta live large cutting free fats off the hog while you can. I can't say I blame them. They have an entire country's sweat financing their quest of 'finding themselves' and cleanse themselves of the rigors and challenges of being 'royals'! They certainly fit nicely with all of their Hollywood a-lister neighbors. Nothing like chatting up with the likes of Caitlyn Jenner. Once heralded as the best male Olympic athlete of all time! LMAO! Oh, the irony!
BTW, Methinks this couple + baby Archie will not be cruising through the streets of *Windsor Hills* to visit grand-mama without the British Army tugging along.
...and speaking of privacy, a happy shout-out BDay to good ol' Andrew, the roving prince - 2nd son of her royalness! He's been grounded by the royal mother hen for his sexual adventures with Epstein.
Gloria Allred hired a US-style bus and posted a poster with Andrew's mug alongside a caption that read: "If you see this man please ask him to call the FBI to answer their questions.”. The bus had been circling around The Mall.
What fun!
None of those reports prove Prince Andrew has refused to cooperate with the FBI. He says they haven't tried to question him, and has stated he is willing to speak to the FBI.
Civil lawyers for the victims probably don't know what's happening in an ongoing police investigation. Andrew may be refusing to cooperate, he may not be. We just don't know.
Further, The Sun and The Express are both tabloids. It's akin to using People or The National Enquirer as a news source (although granted, the latter has broken stories).

Andrew has recently refused cooperation with the FBI
I don't blame Andrew. After watching the FBI and Mueller wanting to question Trump and anybody associated with him, I've learned the FBI isn't going to be a friend to anybody they question. They trap people and are looking to get them in trouble. The FBI already knows the answers to many of the questions they ask so when they catch a lie, they use the full force of the law to twist the arm of the person that came in voluntarily for questioning.

Wow! Coming from someone who tripped over herself and bought into the whole Russian collusion tale hook, line and sinker.
Okay. Opinion heard.

BillyB,
are the FBI any different in their questioning techniques than the UK Police or UKBA agency - if they are trying to get to the facts ....?
I used to think the FBI was trying to just get the facts but they have shown they are actually trying to get people in trouble without facts. Look at the damage they did to Carter Page's reputation just so they can get permission to tap the Trump tower. Carter page was a CIA source so he had a lot of dealings with Russia. When the FBI asked the CIA if Carter Page was one of their own, the CIA said "yes" so the FBI doctored the CIA email response to say "no" so they could get a FISA court judge to give them permission to tap the Trump tower which led to 2+ years of investigations on Trump. The Mueller investigation concluded no Americans colluded with Russia to affect the American election. If the FBI did things by the book, they wouldn't have created a mess since a FISA court judge would've stopped them due to lack of evidence. The FBI makes up evidence so it's apparent, they didn't care about facts.
I'm not sticking up for Prince Andrew. I think he did wrong but I don't blame him for not cooperating with the FBI. After recent events in America, any good attorney would tell their client don't cooperate with the FBI if you don't have to.
So, basically you are saying your judiciary system cannot protect the innocent and fails to convict the guilty ?...
No Americans was found guilty of collusion with Russia according to a long and very expensive investigation by Mueller so it didn't make it to the courts. But if it did make it the courts, everybody would be found innocent because there is no evidence.
This could, so easily—with the merest set of smiles and waves, or even the barest of conversations—have been an occasion of reconciliation in front of the cameras (real or not). Instead, it was an excruciating ignor-athon, a masterclass of social distancing.
:ROFL:
Didn't stop good ol' Eddie and Sophie to *at least* exchange some pleasantries with WillieCharlieand Katie like decent families should.
C'mon, come up with a better excuse than that.
>:D
BTW - does that pedophile Andrew still attend this 'century old church processions'? I'm sure there were lot's of minors in attendance, no?
Andrew isn't a pedophile. He's at best, an ephebophile.
As to the church, it's not an excuse. This is a very formal occasion, which follows rules of protocol, down to where parties are seated.
This was a last minute change of plan, and in contrast to last year, when the foursome loitered, together, but each separately inspecting the fascinating detail of their shoes, in the entrance hall of Westminster Abbey, and then walked behind the queen, who arrives last, to their seats.
What would you deem appropriate? Knocking down chairs in the church to give Harry and Meghan a full on bear hug? Should Meghan go sit in Charles' lap à law Trump/Ivanka?
]We don't know if they saw each other earlier, either.
A cursory acknowledgement is normal.
Anthropologists could have had a field day with the ensuing dance of the royals that unfolded. Edward bobbed up in his seat to greet his important nephew, Meghan and Harry remained superglued to theirs.
Harry appeared to say, ‘Hello’, while Meghan smiled, mini-waved and mouthed a greeting at the couple. The camera angle obscured William and Kate’s response, but it appeared to be sufficiently non-effusive for Meghan to immediately turn to her husband for social rescue (LMAO!)
A conversation stand-off then ensued: William and Kate turned in their seats and spoke to Edward and Sophie, Edward and Sophie spoke to Harry and Meghan – but William and Kate and Harry and Meghan made no conversation with each other. (double that LMAO!)
Yes, that’s right: two brothers and their wives, involved in one of the most public falling-outs of the year, couldn’t bring themselves to even pretend to say:
“How are you doing?”
“Yeah alright man,” and smile.
That is literally all it would have taken to nudge the narrative onto a different trajectory.
If this is what things look like when this lot are on their best behavior, imagine being a fly on the wall when all hell broke loose between them in Kensington Palace….
I doubt you will see any tell alls. I would hazard a guess part of Charles' continued funding to the tune of $3 million a years is an airtight NDA. MM is already breaking that with her leaks to the press, but mostly about minor things.
But of course YOU know exactly what happened.
Priceless ..sound of whooshing irony passing over head
This rule applies to you and Kate Middleton! Well, sort of…If one day, you have the honor of having dinner with the Queen, be aware that as soon as she finishes her meal, everyone at the table has to put down the cutlery and stop eating immediately.
Oh, that's just funny! Not according Allred and her clients. But of course YOU know exactly what happened.
BZZZT! Wrong answer!...and here I thought you knew everything! They deviated this year from what was otherwise customary...
You pretend you know but definitely haven't the slightest idea of any of these situations, no?
I never claimed to know what happened. However, there is no evidence that girls Epstein procured were prepubescent. If you have evidence to the contrary, post it.
FTR, I think Andrew is sleazy and from all accounts, thick as a plank. Assuming he had sex with Virginia Giuffre (the only woman who has come forward), she was 17. Still wrong, IMHO and demonstrates a definite lack of character, but on this forum, that and slightly older teen aged "women" are considered "fair game" to many middle aged and older AM. Had Andrew been posting here in 2000, he would have been virtually "high fived", even admired, by many posters for his "luck" and ability to procure very young "flesh". My, my, how the worm has turned.
They have never deviated from the custom of how the service is conducted. All that was different this year was entering the procession, and generally, the sixth in line to the throne would not be in that procession. Have you watched past services? They are broadcast in Canada, as it is a Commonwealth country.
I never stated I did. I stated we don't know what happened before their public appearance. Evidently, in "scoring points", your reading comprehension disappears.

😢
BZZZT! Wrong Answer. Too much speculation.
He doesn't have a 'friend' in LA...
I'm beginning to think this seems rather typical for male citizens of the UK.
Your prince is a twit!
