The royal family can be very difficult to be with if you are not born into the practices and expectations. Lady Diana illustrated how difficult it can be. It must be very hard to live up to it. What is surprising to me is how well Kate Middleton manages somehow.
Kings and Queens used to rule by divine right, straight from God Himself, not any more but that is history. The Queen is the head of the Church. And it is the queen’s picture on the coins. The anthem is: “God save the Queen”. If you want to dis that, how far are you going to get?

Nobody I admire would go on National Television and talk about the inlaws unless they were Ax Murderers.

Royal Family motto.
Never explain. Never complain!

I watched the interview because I'm an excellent husband. It interested my wife greatly.

In all honesty. I couldn't give a Fig Newton about any of them except the Queen, she's cool and Archie is also. Poor kid was born into a life of DRAMA. Oooh!

I am thinking many things about the Young Married Couple that I don't think I'll put in writing.

Darn inquiring minds want to know your thoughts especially if they are tintillating.

It's interesting to watch Meghan and Harry being proved correct about a lot of things.

Was that a Freudian Slip or spelling error? Or maybe a crude attempt at humor.

The Royal Family has an "image" to maintain. Meghan doesn't fit that image. She's not from royalty or British nobility (Kate Middleton is a member of British aristocracy, that's why she fares so well with the Royals), she's of unimpressive American commoner stock. Meghan should have known from the get-go that this was going to a be a nightmare for her, and Harry absolutely knew.

It is horrible that they're being vilified in this. The Royals can handle a scandal, the British royals have a long, long history of scandal dating back to William the Conqueror. But as is often the case, the Royals are a lot more adept and equipped to bring shame to their "lesser relations" while keeping their chins - and noses - high up in the air.

While I love the fact that the UK has had the same head of church since the 1920's, the british Royalty exists primarily for show, at the taxpayers' expense.

Does not matter what your percieved status is in life, you do not denigrate family or country to all and sundry, especially on a cheap chat show for finanaial gain.
No class or honor shown by any of the participants.
Please keep the pair of them in the USA, where they can champion the 'Woke and Me First' society to their hearts content.


'Family and country first, right or wrong!'

PS. As for Kate Middleton being a member of 'British aristocracy,' her father came from a wealthy family of solicitors (lawyers) and her mothers father was a builder, and if that makes them aristocrats, I'm the Duke of Tottenham!

Hahaha, and you believe the nonsense spewed by this “actress”....right...

With their entitlements go immense responsibilities and plenty of dysfunction. It’s a gilded prison, or almost a gilded chain gang. Meghan’s problem is that she assumed marrying a prince would mean people would obey her, whatever her whim, and lick her clean. Sort of like being on the set with “Suits.” I think the British public was hoping for a genuinely nice person to love. “What? I have DUTIES?”

I have a real hard time feeling sad for Harry and Meghan. They had a storybook life and now live in a $12M home and I doubt they will ever have to worry about where their next meal will come from. I think the real problem was that she wanted the same status as William and Kate and that was just not going to happen as Harry is so far down the line in secession they were nothing more than just members of the royal family with no real standing. They would have had their very nice castle and lived a quite rich life, but I guess this was not enough. I have said since day one that Meghan will eventually dump Harry. I only hope the family will take him back. This better happen while grandma is still alive because his father is royally ticked at him.
