Ah, man.....I have to see this mentioned on BP, too?

The way I look at it, anyone freeloading millions of taxpayer dollars to live better off than the majority of the populous is ludocrous. I don't care if they do charitable work. They could do that regardless of stature.

I also dont care what any 'celebrity' has to say or their opinions. I'll make an exception for Bas, though, because he's awesome and cracks me up.

and Harry may be a bit sheltered, even with his military career, and she could have worked to keep the brothers close but it looks as though she's estranged harry from his family.

Chris Rock I believe stated to the effect if the people knew the perks and machinations of how the entertainment industry coddles their stars the masses would rise in protest. Tax dollars, public property a myriad of services are given to the entertainment industry for free so celebrities have special status.

I care what these two are doing about as much as I care what the kardashians are doing.

That being said this thread has revealed some interesting elitist thoughts...

I SAID If I were a man of his standing, A Prince, I am NOT marrying a Divorced woman who is also OLDER than me. that is for LESSER status men.

I am ALSO not marrying a woman who is COLD and CRUEL enough to not have a good relationship with her family members to the point of cutting them off completely.

now, she is a MASTER MANIPULATOR and he is a FOOL.
she Knew what the hell she was getting into, and when she dated him and saw what ROYAL life was like, she could have ended the relationship if she didn't like it. BUT she stayed around long enough to get married, have a CHILD (so she could permanently tie herself to him (and the ROYAL FAMILY), Then suddenly decide to leave.


he then was placed in a position to be a tool for HER, or risk her abandoning him with HIS CHILD................so he ditched his family for her. IDIOT
now she is making a TON of money off him.

this will not end well, as she is ruining all family relations for him. then cometh the Divorce and little harry wont be able to find his way home........


STAY away from Women with dysfunctional family dynamics, no matter how pretty. the beauty faded but the dysfunction remains..

Wow! You bring up several salient points. 38 and 41 isn't a huge difference unless the woman is older. He married her when he was 34, still developing as a full grown man they say until 35. Anyway, I agree with you on alot of this, in terms of being foolish for falling for her and her baggage.

Makes you wonder, did he go for someone like her because he knew she would be a target and knew she would likely be strong enough to go against all their traditions thus giving him a way out of the family he very well may resent.

Family dynamics are interesting to me, since we can all learn more about our own, etc. I mean his brothers wife is literally the exact opposite in every way. I'm guessing his older brother reminded Harry too much of his Father (as someone pointed out) so instead of following his example he rebelled.

People are free to think nothing of this, but you are fooling yourself to disregard the incredible influence the monarchy and the customs and culture has affected our lives in the US and around the world over. So for someone like Harry to create a reality TV show with his failed actor wife about his own family, echoing what others have said, the marriage won't last and he will likely greatly regret all of his choices to go public.

It's an absolute disgrace. It doesn't matter what you think about the Royals or the Monarchy. Both Harry and Meghan knew going in what this marriage entailed. If he/they chose not to be a part of it, go quietly and live your lives.

I haven't watched the series and really just read the headlines. There is no reason for this nonsense other than for the two of them to capitalize on sensationalism. He's screwed. He allowed her to lead him by his dick and trash his family, now he has to live with the consequences. Pretty sad. I wonder where he will go when their marriage is over. Talk about burning bridges.

Meh, diversity hires do diversity hire shit, so her behavior is expected if not warranted at this point. The Royals exist only as assets to the country. They bring in 100's of millions a year in tourism dollars. To a lesser extent, people go visit Cape Cod to see all the Kennedy shit..

This thread is not about her, it's about him. None of what happened to her, nor how she is reacting to it is unexpected.
He's a coward. He's speaking in innuendos when it suits him, he's providing specific facts when it suits him. He's excoriating his entire family, who he knows cannot and will not fight back, because they maintain decorum and have some semblance of honor.
He's using his mother as a crutch to justify his abhorrent behavior and every statement seems to be a complete contradiction in terms.
William and I told our father not to marry Camilla because X,Y,Z. That's OK. But, don't anyone in the family tell him not to marry Meghan, for any reason. That's not OK. It's still unclear who did or did not advise him against it, so better have them all be assumed as racists. OK, "H".

She complains / cries / looks for sympathy in literally every interview she does.

She was literally the third lead on Suits and thinks she is some A list actress.

She is very attractive, however.

He didn't just burn his bridges, he has blown them up. This doesn't end well and he has cut off the one support network he had. A foolish young man.

Reading this thread reminds of this scene for some reason.



Kidding aside, I really don’t get why there are such strong opinions about them, especially Meghan. Seems like some here are taking things way to personal because maybe some things hit too close to home.

I walked away from a very dysfunctional family (most of them) years ago so I guess I have some sympathy for the two of them. Plus almost everyone here are hypocrites saying they have a low opinion of them because they are monetizing it. Most here would do the same thing if they waved millions in front of your face, especially if you had the expenses they have. Security alone has got to be an astronomical bill and they going to need it forever because they’ll never be able to live a normal life ever.

Apparently for standing up for herself and her family/husband plus wanting to live a different way not based on weird archaic rules.
