      Meghan said some howlers though

      2. Archie would not be the first grandchild of a monarch not to be titled Prince/Princess (See Edward's Children)
      3. Harry says his dad cut the off when in January he said he wanted financial independance on his website
      4. Titles are governed by a monarch's letters' patent. A monarch has the right to change that at any time.(She seriously said 'Who are they to deny him his birthright?'!)
      5. Archie is not currently eligible to be a prince.
      6. Harry and Meghan published a website full of plans they hadn't negotiated with the Queen that then later had to be hashed out at Sandringham. Yet they say they didn't blindside her
      7. Harry complains that being a Prince is to be trapped and Meghan complains their child isn't a Prince
      8. Prince Charles has been actively trying to slim down the monarchy for decades, Archie isn't being made an example of
      9. Meghan says her passport was taken as if she was held prisoner but then went on numerous foreign holidays
      10. Meghan says they 'got married' three days before the church ceremony in their back yard. No marriage is legal without witnesses or taking place in a permanent structure like a church or a town hall
      What is true is that these are human beings prone to human failings in a gilded cage where everything they say and do is scrutinised and their freedom is curtailed by the security Harry wanted to keep.

If meghan had wrong idea about this I wonder why no one explained when the decision was made. she was left to believe that the rule was changed just then and there. and then the palace claimed harry and meghan did not want titles for archie which was false.
      5. but he would be when charles became king and prince george, princess charlotte and prince lois weren't eligeble to become princes either.
      6. i don't remember them putting up any website until late last year. they had a small statements and you have no knowledge what was talked with queen or charles." After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution," they said in a statement. "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."
      7. harry does think he was trapped in Royal family, and meghan was rightly offended that her son was not to be treated the way that grandchildren of kings have been treated.
      8. well they did bloody bad job of explaining it to harry and meghan and the punlic. Besides, the palace should have told to the public it was charles's choise not to give Archie titles, if they think that was nothing controversial about that. Now it looks it was just because archies mixed heritage
      9. Her passport was handled by the palace workers who also deal with customs. No royal carries their passports or keyes. I can see how that made her feel furter like a prisoner.
      10. she said they had a ceremony before the royal wedding "for just two of us". i thought it was obvious she didn't mean the legal sense married, but in emotional sense. I wonder why people made a fuss about it. people redo wedding vows multiple times, they have blessings etc. to me that seemed a sweet thing.

      They did learn from Diana's death though. First of all, Harry was allowed to marry Meghan to begin with. A Commoner 30-something American Divorcee. Remember Diana was a 19 year old Virgin daughter of Earl Spencer. They thought Diana would get it because of her position in life and her youth would mean no one to come out the woodwork with salacious stories about her past.
      I don't think the Royals are 100% to blame here. Harry himself said their relationship went very quickly. Meghan hadn't lived in England a year before the engagement. I think there was a clash between Meghan's expectations and reality

    • @exiledfae

Two widowed people being more eligible to remarry into the royal family than two divorced persons, mind you.

What I don’t get is your smearing of John Oliver’s wife; she’s a former US Army combat medic who served with the 1st Cavalry Division and was deployed overseas and just happened to meet Oliver by chance (before he had his own show, let alone US citizenship)-how exactly does that make her a “gold-digger?”
