Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced they’re taking a “step back” from the royal family

Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

It's not too late to play hardball with those two.

1: Revoke all titles.
2: Remove all Funding, both formal and informal - including security - (the hush money they are paying isn't working)
3: Revoke all specific and general bequests in future royal estates (Queen and Charles). I suspect the DoE's estate is all to HM.
4: Rebut all current and future accusations now and as and when they arise - Oprah 2 etc.
5: Do not invite either of them to any future Royal events (Queens funeral - any marriages etc). No more photo op's.
6: Don't even acknowledge the new child as a member of the family. It will be born to private citizens.

If they want to be private citizens, let them, but make it a 100% transition.

1-4 is def doable. 5&6 could be problematic given the Queen said:
“Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.”

White knight or opportunistic shit stirrer? You be the judge..

Prince Harry says he wants to break his family's cycle of 'pain and suffering' as a parent

Image

Speaking on a new episode of the podcast “Armchair Expert,” released on Thursday, the Duke of Sussex opened up about his mental health and said that he did not want to pass on the pain he experienced during his upbringing to his children.

“I don’t think we should be pointing the finger or blaming anybody, but certainly when it comes to parenting, if I’ve experienced some form of pain or suffering because of the pain or suffering that perhaps my father or my parents had suffered, I’m going to make sure I break that cycle so that I don’t pass it on, basically,” he told cohosts Dax Shepard and Monica Padman.

“It’s a lot of genetic pain and suffering that gets passed on anyway so we as parents should be doing the most we can to try and say, ‘You know what, that happened to me, I’m going to make sure that doesn’t happen to you,'” Harry added.

As Insider’s Anneta Konstantinides previously wrote, Harry wanted to step back from royal duties long before he met Meghan Markle, and that, during the podcast, Harry said that he thought about doing so while he was in his 20s.

“I was thinking, I don’t want this job, I don’t want to be here. I don’t want to be doing this. Look what it did to my mom,” Harry told the hosts. “How am I ever going to settle down and have a wife and family when I know it’s going to happen again? I’ve seen behind the curtain, I’ve seen the business model and seen how this whole thing works and I don’t want to be part of this.”

Neither, just trying to stay relevant
Look what it did to my mom,”

Yes because she famously shunned the limelight and did everything she could to keep her family life private. Have a day off!

He really is a fucking wanker.

Prince Harry Tells Podcast He Contemplated Quitting Royal Life in His 20s: 'Like Being In a Zoo


The Duke of Sussex revealed the inner workings of what life was like growing up while speaking to actor Dax Shephard, host of the podcast Armchair Experts.

"I've seen behind the curtain, I've seen the business model, I know how this operation runs and how it works," Harry said, while recalling that he thought, "I don't want to be part of this."

Harry later described his youth as "going wild" and partying in his early twenties, while struggling with the social and emotional responsibilities of being within British royalty.

"I don't want this job, I don't want to be here, I don't want to be doing this, look what it did to my mum," Harry recalled thinking. His mother, Princess Diana of Wales, was thrust in the spotlight after her divorce from Prince Charles and later died in a car crash in Paris in 1997.

The amount of irony in that sentence is palpable.

Philip Larkin


They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.
