'Hard Megxit': UK papers revel in Harry and Meghan's royal dismissal
The Guardian ^ | 01-18-2020 | Frances Perraudin

...“Queen orders a hard Megxit,” read the Sunday Mirror’s front-page headline. “Harry and Meghan Out in the Cold,” said the Sunday People. The Sun went for “Payback Time”, while the Sunday Express had “Freedom … at a price.”

A tweet from the TV host Piers Morgan – who claims he was friends with Meghan before she snubbed him after meeting Harry – was quoted widely. “The Queen has told Meghan and Harry to sling their part-time royal hook,” he wrote. “Well done, Your Majesty, right decision. Only surprised it took her so long to get Harry to ditch his family, the monarchy, the military and his country. What a piece of work.

“Bottom line: Meghan and Harry wanted to have their cake and eat it, but the Queen just took the cake back to the royal kitchens.”

Camilla Long, in the Sunday Times, was among the most scathing, arguing that among the victims of the couple’s decision were people working in the Grenfell soup kitchen visited by Meghan this month.

“You know who the real victim in this whole Harry and Meghan thing is? It isn’t Harry or Meghan, however much these fey children tell us they’ve had their spirits ‘crushed’ by the sheer number of palaces and diamonds and footmen we’ve flung at them,” wrote Long.

“It isn’t us, even though we’ve had the stupidity to pay this pair of oxygen thieves more than £60,000 a day, if you take into account the £32m wedding, the £2.4m cottage renovation, the security and fripperies and Meghan’s dresses, for the privilege of being patronised and dissed to our faces by them, since they married in May 2018.

Now he and the Mrs. can occupy a Canadian street corner with cardboard signs reading “Will be parasites for money.”

I don’t follow the royals so excuse me if this is a dumb question, but how could he be no blood relation to his grandmother? If Diana had a child that wasn’t Charles’, wouldn’t the press have said something (everything!)?

I suspect Megan has many talents (probably more than Monica L.),and when the bloom is off the rose, Harry might just realize the terrible mistake he made. I give it one more year and Harry will come to his senses.

The UK and her Commonwealth States need to toss their Hereditary Monarchy on to the trash heap of failed ideologies and move forward into the 21st century...

Thus far, Harry is taking steps to no longer be a parasite as he is refusing money from the tax payers.

I want the whole bunch of them, except the Queen, reduced to the state of mere mortals. End the monarchy and royalty. No need to give them a stipend. They can make enough money from giving TV interviews and getting their pictures on magazine covers.

Now Harry is just a dumb Brit with red hair and a famous beautiful mother.

I don't blame him one bit. It is clear to me he hated being part of the British royalty long before he met Meghan.

He wants a hard exit from the royal life, don't let the press fool you.
