a.) His feeling like he's the bottom of the pecking order. He can now be among equals, be his own man, not fear offending the royals at every turn and be in charge of his destiny.

b.) Not completely, but some freedom from the clutches of the British tabloid press. They'll never completely escape it but I hope Canadian law will shield them to a degree. I think they'll have much more privacy in Canada in the long-term and their children will be more safe.

We wish them the best......
