Edward did have a private sector job but he gave it up 20 years ago; since then, he’s been a full-time Royal. I don’t know if he’s the Queen’s favourite but he does seem like a good one - no scandal that I’ve heard of, keeps his head down and does the work.

So if the reaction to your first television interview bad-mouthing your family was (to put it mildly) mixed, why would you do another interview and admit that your talks with your family to try to rebuild relationships were "not productive." Harry . . . just let sleeping dogs lie for now. Or if you are going to wake them up, don't go on television to talk about it. I agree the 2nd interview was totally unnecessary & probably a poor choice at this point. However, as to both interviews, I can understand why they gave them and did it publicly. The Royal Family is notorious for keeping all personal information, especially negative information, quiet. They want the public to see the image, not the down & dirty. It's all The Show. It has been for many many generations. That's why they're so mad at Harry & Meghan. They broke the "Royal Code of Silence". But here's where I kind of agree with Harry/Meghan. They have been hugely hurt by things that have gone on & the lack of support/help. That's why they felt they needed to get out, but they're still hurt & being trashed. Ultimately it's not their job to keep the dirty little secrets of others when those dirty little secrets have been hurtful to M & H. William has this attitude of "How dare they tell?", and is hugely angry about it. Well I say "How dare he & the rest of the RF do the things they don't want told that hurt & damaged M & H so much?" and how dare they expect M & H to just cover it all up to make others look better while they suffer. M & H don't have to keep those dirty little secrets just to help their tormentors look better. People (not just the RF) can't just go around doing damage & hurt to others & expect the victims to stay quiet & keep that dirty little secret. "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time." Oh wow, well said!

For two people who supposedly want to live a private life, H&M sure have a funny way of going about it. I’m tired of their complaining. Good grief, go get on with your lives and quit blabbing about your family issues in public.

From what I’ve read, the plan all along was for the title to go to Charles temporarily until he gives it up to become King. When he becomes King, the title will go to Edward. So James is expected to be the eventual recipient upon Edwards death assuming Charles is king by then. Thank you for this information. I read Charles wants to streamline and modernize the monarchy should he become king.

I don’t know if he’s the Queen’s favourite but he does seem like a good one - no scandal that I’ve heard of, keeps his head down and does the work. Unfortunately, according to a lot of press I've seen over the years, her favorite is Andrew. Not so convenient in light of his behavior. At least she's sensible enough to know that he needs to stay as much out of the public eye as possible. He may not ever face charges or be indicted, but having a possible rapist/child trafficker/associate of Jeffrey Epstein front and center representing the royal family isn't a great look.
I have read recently, that Sophie is, if not her favorite, someone she leans on quite a bit. I think that's a good choice, especially since it sounds like she and Edward will be taking on a more public role what with Meghan and Harry quitting.
I'd read that the Duke of Edinburgh title, has to revert back to Charles as the eldest. It's just how it is done. Once he's king, he can give the title to Edward.
sunnydayz - right? Interesting also that those pics of Meghan came out in the press ON Prince Louis' birthday, isn't it (the pic of him was released the day before his birthday)? Oh, and it's been reported that talks between Harry and the family may have stalled because of the leaks to the press about what's been said.

I read Charles wants to streamline and modernize the monarchy should he become king. Yes, he’s talked about that for sometime, and it seems that as it gets closer he’s pulling William in to discussions of exactly how to get it done. I suspect that his desire to scale back is at the core of a lot of the issues Harry has with the family. In truth, his fathers plan has always been to downsize him. The reasons for it make sense - it was a response to the public questioning all the tax dollars that go to support them. So Charles is making decisions that allow for their longevity. But for Harry who doesn’t have the benefit of siblings beyond the guy who will be king to compare things to, it probably feels quite personal.

Well, Harry didn't wait to be fired (downsized) he quit. It's too bad he has been made to feel he must quit his family as well. So many emotional ties to sever.

One has to wonder (or at least this one does, ) if Kate would just cop to the fact that she did make Meghan cry, and give a quick but sincere apology for not straightening the record sooner, if that would start a path for reconciliation. To me it seems like a simple gesture that could go a very long way.

The poor flower girls had to wear tights, in the heat, they apparently felt uncomfortable as they were rubbing. It wasnt a request just a suggestion. I don't think it need go any further. I dint like that the talk the brothers had, with their father was leaked to the press. It appears nothing is sacred anymore

Who cares if she made her cry? Emotions are often fraught during such events - she wouldn’t be the first bride to have a spat and end up in tears. Maybe Kate also cried, who knows. Or cares. It’s a trivial thing. She (Kate) apparently apologized and that should have been that. I don’t know why it was brought up ages later as a grievance in their Oprah interview. I’d not be surprised if there is no rapprochement between Harry, Meghan and the Royal Family as it seems like every private conversation is leaked. I wouldn’t want to talk to someone who was then going to share all the details to outsiders.

It's the principle of the matter. Meghan deserves a family that will stand by her. All of us do. So the fact that she apologized to Meghan privately is neither here nor there.

Well, one of the issues the Royal family had with Harry and Meghan post interview is that Orpah pal,Gayle King, was blabbing to the media and to viewers information fed to her via Harry and Meghan so that nothing was private in the convos between The Royal family and Harry/Meg.

Also don’t forget that when reports of the crying event happened, Kensington Palace issued a statement that the story of Meghan making Kate cry didn’t happen. It was notable because the BRF almost never comments on such stories, and I remember it being discussed as a significant step in showing the support the palace had for Meghan. H&M rewrote history when they claimed Meghan was left out to suffer over that story, and many allowed them to do it. So there was a rare correction, an apology and flowers. At this point if anything is needed to close the story I think it’s Harry and Meghan growing up and getting over themselves.

And how do we know that the Royal Family hasn't stood behind Meghan? We're all hearing by M&H's hear-say. I'm not putting ALL my credence of this into what Meghan's "claiming". I also think an apology is an apology..whether private or done publicly. If Meghan can sincerely accept Kate's apology, she wouldn't have had to have mentioned this in an interview to the world like she did.

I, personally, think that this is huge. The palace has a history of never commenting on news stories so to think that they would break this 'policy' for her is absurd, and shows how self-centered she can be. Kate made effort to apologize to Meghan but that was not good enough for her so she had to make a bigger deal out of it on TV with her interview. Even going so far as to say "I don’t say that to be disparaging to anyone.." of course she was, she knew exactly what she was doing, she wanted to make herself look better than Kate. However it happened, whatever happened, it happened... Kate took it upon herself to say she was sorry AND make a gesture showing how she felt in the situation but again, Meghan did not want to let that be. Given what Meghan did say about the aftermath, it looks like Kate felt bad and did all that was within her power to do and offered a personal apology. Why Meghan would think the palace would deviate from decades of ignoring press like this JUST for her is really rich. Her 'family' did own up to it in her own words, Kate came to her personally and tried to make some sort of amends, it was just not enough for Meghan. IMO, you need to pick which hill you want to die on and if this was the one Meghan wanted to pick.. that is on her. Frankly, in the big picture of things she needs to be concerned about this is a minor issue, the press is going to rip her (and many others) over so much more. It was two years ago, it is time to get over it on her part.

And to that note, the reason as to why the 'who made who cry' situation has festered is because of that very frustration. The Palace wanted Harry to sign something defending his brother's reputation and Meghan and Harry's response was that it should go both ways.

Very well- said, FireWoman. I was always taught when someone apologizes for something, you forgive them. It's done and over. Meghan obviously doesn't want to, so how can amends be made with Kate? And to announce that on national tv? Kate did her part, and has moved on from it. That was something between her and Kate, not to be hugely announced to the world as was done in that interview.

It was two years ago, it is time to get over it on her part. Well said. This is where I think there is some truth to Meghan's claims that she didn't know much about the royal family before she met Harry. I don't believe it went to the extent of not knowing the basic protocols we all know, not knowing what Diana meant to Britain, etc. But I do believe that she misunderstood how they operate and how they handle public relations. I think that she naively believed that she understood how publicists work because she worked in Hollywood and it was the same thing. But of course, it's NOT the same! Meghan was used to publicists who would make statements that made their client look good according to the client's wishes. She discovered that Palace publicists make decisions based on what makes the crown look best and that's it. Meghan was used to some degree of seniority with the first name on a call sheet getting the most publicity, but beyond that it being an ensemble cast. She discovered that seniority goes MUCH deeper in the BRF and people who may appear to be equal on the outside are in fact not ... and that it is reflected in the publicity given, the positioning of where they stand, the order they walk, who gets to talk, and everything else. With the benefit of hindsight, having a Hollywood career was perhaps a downside for Meghan because it may have allowed her to think she understood things that she truly did not.

The Palace wanted Harry to sign something defending his brother's reputation and Meghan and Harry's response was that it should go both ways. I would respectfully disagree. This is not something new, the palace has be operating like this for years and not JUST with William and Harry. Whether is it right, proper, fair, or whatever word you want to put in here is not really the matter at the heart of it. They do it, they have done it for YEARS, So for one person, and outsider at that, to think it would change that drastically or quickly is preposterous to say the least. I get it, she wanted to be a part of modernizing the monarchy, good for her. This may be a wonderful idea, and yeah one that needed to happen, but it was not going to happen one year after her marrying in to the family. She claimed she had no knowledge of the royal family before her relationship with Henry, which is an obvious crock of bull poop, but even while in the middle of their courtship she had to be made aware of how the BRF functioned. Again the rightness or wrongness of the 'policy' is not my issue, it is how Meghan felt it should not apply to her when it applied to all. The fact she allowed it to fester and frustrate her more is on her, this small issue (overall) could have been moved on from so easily but again, it was on her that it did not. Heck when I read it back in the day, I am sure I rolled my eyes at it thinking "lawdy 1st world problems." All I have gotten out of the last two yeas of listening to her is it needs to be all about her, and she will keep beating a dead horse till everyone knows it. She and her husband left the BRF, they made their choice, good for them. Live with it, move on, and have the life you wanted... far less people care each day and to dwell on it all only makes them look worse... no matter who is at fault.

This is a statement from Harry back in 2016:
"But the past week has seen a line crossed. His girlfriend, Meghan Markle, has been subject to a wave of abuse and harassment. Some of this has been very public - the smear on the front page of a national newspaper; the racial undertones of comment pieces; and the outright sexism and racism of social media trolls and web article comments. Some of it has been hidden from the public - the nightly legal battles to keep defamatory stories out of papers; her mother having to struggle past photographers in order to get to her front door; the attempts of reporters and photographers to gain illegal entry to her home and the calls to police that followed; the substantial bribes offered by papers to her ex-boyfriend; the bombardment of nearly every friend, co-worker, and loved one in her life.
Prince Harry is worried about Ms. Markle’s safety and is deeply disappointed that he has not been able to protect her. It is not right that a few months into a relationship with him that Ms. Markle should be subjected to such a storm. He knows commentators will say this is ‘the price she has to pay’ and that ‘this is all part of the game’. He strongly disagrees. This is not a game - it is her life and his."
Even before they married, the abuse was prevalent. Meghan and Harry knew that each false story/lie would grow with the next, and the next, and the next, and all they could do was hope that the Palace would get out ahead of it and protect them, and they never did.
There are unfortunately now two camps. Those that think Meghan thinks she is all that and more and wants to burn down the monarchy and those that think Meghan could've been good for the monarchy but was never given the chance.

I don't think she wants to burn it down, and I don't believe that she pulled Harry away from it (I think he wanted to go). But also don't think she was ever going to be good for the monarchy, because she was never willing to not make it about herself and that doesn't work for the life they have to lead.

I was neutral in the Meghan debate until I saw how she acted at Wimbledon. She would not allow anyone to sit near her and her two friends (which meant that dozens of people had to be placed elsewhere - in less desirable seats). Her bodyguard approached more than one person to "request" that they not take pictures of her. In a stadium with 12,000+ people in it and on international television, she claimed to be there in a "private" capacity so no one should point cameras at her. One woman was trying to take pictures of Serena Williams on the court - NOT Meghan in the stands, and another man was trying to take a selfie and had no idea Meghan was even there. I think it says a lot that Meghan's claim that someone questioned what color Archie might be came from what Harry told her. And in his recent trip, it has been said that neither Charles nor William would meet privately with Harry because of concerns about how things said at a private meeting might be leaked. Sad. I think they both need to get over themselves.

I think they both need to get over themselves. Maybe I can convince you to go back to being neutral again. From the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, "reports that members were blocked from entering the members seating while Meghan was there are completely untrue." I royal source also told a news agency that it is not at all unusual for photos to not be taken at public engagements, "This is to enable members of the royal family to properly engage with people and events."

CuddlesSorry, I haven't moved from my current position. If no one was blocked, why are two rows behind them and all the way from the aisle over for at least 10 seats empty in "prime" seating? Another article I read said that people were left lining up for other seats, since they were not permitted to go to the seats for which they held tickets. And it might have been easier for her to "properly engage with people and events" if they were actually near her - and if she hadn't gotten up and left as soon as Serena was done playing. Brits were unhappy that she didn't even stay to watch the British tennis player who was in the next match. Cameras don't lie. It might have been in the best interest of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club to just keep their mouths shut and not potentially rile the BRF. There are lots of pictures of members of the BRF at Wimbledon - some include Meghan - and none of them that I've seen show rows of empty seats around them.

That's because they sit in the Royal Box.
Meghan was not sitting in the Royal Box. She was sitting in an area where she could better see Serena.
And all of the negative rumors as to seating and photos have been categorically denied by the folks who were in charge.

I think it says a lot that Meghan's claim that someone questioned what color Archie might be came from what Harry told her. And in his recent trip, it has been said that neither Charles nor William would meet privately with Harry because of concerns about how things said at a private meeting might be leaked. Sad. I think they both need to get over themselves. Maybe I can convince you to go back to being neutral again. From the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, "reports that members were blocked from entering the members seating while Meghan was there are completely untrue." I royal source also told a news agency that it is not at all unusual for photos to not be taken at public engagements, "This is to enable members of the royal family to properly engage with people and events." The same report also said "A representative for the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club told ABC News they "did not know" whether seats in the members' enclosure were deliberately kept free around the Duchess of Sussex." so I am sure there is a bit more to that story too. Kate has photos of her at Wimbledon, that are in the public seating section, where she does not have scores of seats empty by her with security on the outskirts.
Sadly I used to be VERY pro-Meghan but recent behaviour and outright lies about things have soured me to her and Henry. It took a turn and went downhill fast for me.

I don't think any of us really know what is going on inside the Royal Family. That's kind of the point. So it's all hearsay and our own opinions. I think they are probably all very lovely people but also in a completely toxic environment. My British family aren't fans Americans seem to be more invested at least from what I see.
