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

Posted on 01/19/2020 11:18:56 AM PST by NRx

...“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.

And I have to say I largely agree with the Brits. I used to like Harry. But his choice of wife was disturbing and almost everybody who knew anything about her sucked in their breath at the news of their engagement. And now his craven repudiation of duty to his country and grandmother is shocking. If I were British I'd be livid.

Does anyone realize that Harry may be considered an outsider by the royals. A true red-headed stepchild with no blood relation to the queen.

He and his progeny need to be removed from the line of succession.

Prince Harry resembles another royal loser. Hank the 8th. The original founder of the Queen for a Day routine, until that new queen lost her head.

Meghan is a Democrat, and like all RATS they turn to s**t everything and everyone they get involved with. Harry will be regretting all of this soon, if he hasn’t already!

If I were Harry and Meghan, I would be delighted to be away from what is turning into a Muslim hell-hole of an island.

I am no fan of Meghan, but I do think Harry was disillusioned with Royal life long before hitching up with her. Marrying Meghan may have sped up the process that Harry wanted.

I suspect that the marriage of the former royals won’t last all that long. Meghan will soon tire of being a common house wife and mother.

I think Harry didnt have the spine to detach himself from a lifestyle he didnt want.

MEghan likely told him it could be done and they hatched the plot to marry for her to help him detach - all the while MEghan gets her “grand” preformance as princess and now back to whatever other hollywood or ways she can have all the fame etc she craves and as long as it suites her she will keep with harry.

If they are taking cues or getting help from the Obama’s and Oprah or such then likely it’s some sort of distorted union/marriage for h&m.

This seems obviously a staged plan of Meghan and likely Harry from the time they met, not some thing just in recent months. I doubt the family knew for months. I think the Queen worded it as she did because it can be taken that 2 or more were talking of it for months, not necessarily the rest of the family.

It’s no “may”. The queen and Charles know for certain if he’s a royal or not.

Harry was seen begging for small voice rolls for his wife. Wait until he finds out how tough it is out in the real world when he is no longer a Royal.

Losing the Royal titles is a major flub on their part.

As an American, I am deeply offended by the way the Brits have treated my fellow countrywoman and I am appalled at the way my fellow Americans are piling on her. We should be sticking up for her and demanding that she be treated better. THIS IS AN INSULT TO ALL OF US!!!!!!
