She rides all over england on the train and uses public transport like city buses to go do her “royal stuff” so I really didn’t understand the big deal about security

Her “security “ was her secretary who was nearly as old as anne (so sixty plus)

Also harry inherited over 30 million and megan was worth a few million herself so , cry me a river

The “
Who made who cry story” happened about 3 weeks after kate had given birth.....I thought it was really tacky for m to throw kate under the bus ten minutes in

They aren't complaining about wealth.
They are talking about Race & the personal blowback directed towards Harry's new family, for marrying a woman of color.

Complaining about “security “ was complaining about wealth as in who was going to pay for what they felt they needed

As I said other “working “ royals had way less

The tabloids are trash, how is that news?

This was an absolute stripping of all Harry's rights granted by birth.

The security detail is like the Secret Service, not some local security business who has no idea what all they are protecting with Harry.

They left him & all his knowledge of the Crown, it's Military & internal operations, vulnerable to enemies of the world.
His wife & child as well.
It wouldn't matter if he was worth $100 or 100 million.

That security detail protects him & the Crown itself.


And all because he married a black woman & brought a black race son into the lineage.

He no longer will have his formal, ceremonial position in the armed forces. This makes sense since he didn’t want to be a royal anymore. But no one took his medals.

They used to like him too. Until he married that woman of color.

the media of course likes drama, that's why we had a con man in the WH for 4 miserable years.

The Royals will be fine it's not the first time for them shunning a newcomer or one of their own.

Just because she is rich does not mean she has not been a victim.

The FIRM deserves all the bad press they are getting.

If the convo about baby Archie's skin color that hinted at, then sealed the severing of ties didn't come from the Queen nor Phillip, the who was it?
Future Queen (from hell) Camilla? Harry's Father who refused Harry's calls?

And, I find it hard to sympathize with someone who marries into a family that is LITERALLY the embodiment of supposed Anglo-Saxon superiority and then is *shocked* to find they are BIGOTS!?!?!?

I mean, who could have imagined such a thing?

Not long before that, one of the ponies he was riding died afterwards. Never mind the Nazi uniform, never mind he called a fellow soldier a ‘Paki’, and another one a ‘r-head.’ So glad to see he’s somehow been reinvented.

As kids in Costa Rica we used hermit crabs for bait, that horrifies me now, also don't like personally killing the fish and cutting it up any more, too gruesome yet did not bother me as a child. So you can evolve vis-a-vi animals.

I’m mean, I’m an American. I hate the very idea of Royalty. My ancestors helped kick them out. My French Ancestors lopped off their heads.

Seems to me like some of the most privileged people on earth arguing who is the biggest victim.

Yeah, the one lady is a person of color. But she married into that shit hole of an institution.

I wish DU would ignore it all. But for some reason Americans of all stripe seem interested in the whole sordid deal.
