@Bones said in Royal drama:
@Mick-Gold-Coast-QLD you lost me at "The".
I'm not at all sure what you mean Bones - you might elaborate because it certainly did not read like approval.

Also stormzy is a dickhead
What gave that away - his nickname or supporting Corbyn?

It’s the nickname, it’s the Corbyn supporting , it’s the virtue signaling, it’s the vibe of the thing

You're a fan of elaboration? I never would have guessed from your post. 😊

I’d still have a beer with Harry any time. But his Mrs bores the tits off me. And I’ve got quite big tits.
He picked the wrong girl. And she's changed him for the worse. He should have listened to his brother, but the heart wants what it wants (and probably little head too).

Canadians not overjoyed about Harry and Meghan staying longterm. What a pack of filthy racists....

Few updates on thread-of-the-year:
Quite a few stories coming out of Canada now about them not being welcome, although not making huge inroads here in the motherland. Attenborough and the climate crusaders have stolen their thunder somewhat.
Harry has first official Royal Duties since their announcement ... will be interesting to see there is any kickback. I doubt it. It's doing the draw for the rugby league world cup. My wife also noted that they had a social media release about the invictus games. Given these two things, does add weight to the argument, that they do only want to continue on with the parts of the role they enjoy.
Piers Morgan needs to let it go tho. Another column, more tweets etc. He's looking a little obsessed.

@MajorRage Harry does not strike me as being the sharpest tool in the shed. Coupled with an american TV star and all that it brings, and with Harry desperate to please, I think they made this decision without really thinking things through. I wonder what the odds are of them calling things quits inside a few years?

@MajorRage said in Royal drama:
@canefan I actually think Harry is a good guy, who has a right mix of Royal and progressive thinking. Part of this is standing by his wife, as opposed to his Grandmother.
I expect they will separate within 5 years.
No doubt he is a good guy. And I'm not saying Markle is bad. But he picked the wrong type of girl to cope with the rigours of life as a royal

@canefan American actress to royal doesn't tend to go well. Exhibit A: Princess Grace. On the surface they seem like similar worlds with the glitz and glam, but they really aren't. The whole bone deep duty to crown and country, the upholding of literally centuries of royal tradition and protocol, time and place and position is about as opposite to free and easy me me me Hollywood as it's possible to be.

@canefan or he knew she'd be a great exit strategy. Whichever way they tried to disconnect it was always going to be a shambles imo.
I'm as much of a gossip fan as the next ferner but have to admit this whole situation is getting pretty icky. Can't imagine what it's like for people to think they own you (Harry/royal family) or have worldwide uproar about your life choices.
But there's zero chance they'll be left alone, although that's also their making given they want to retain a public presence.
Wonder if a Harry wishes he was back serving in Afghanistan!

@Paekakboyz I don't think there is ever an exit strategy like the abdication of Edward anymore. They still seem to think he will need security and social media etc won't allow him the luxury of a normal life.

@Paekakboyz said in Royal drama:
@canefan yeah he'll forever be a target which is shit. Whether that's cray cray royal fans or more nefarious folks.
After seeing him serve in Afghanistan I'm sure he could be a target for an Islamist wanting to make his name

Best take so far
That’s complete horse shit and I want my 5 minutes back.
