Buckingham Palace is understood to be 'disappointed' at Harry and Meghan's decision to quit as senior royals amid claims that the couple did not tell the Queen before they announced their departure on social media.

They made their announcement on their official Instagram account this evening following speculation about a move.

Following their statement, the BBC's Royal Correspondent Jonny Dymond said on Twitter: 'BBC Understands that no other member of the Royal Family was consulted before Harry and Meghan issued their personal statement tonight, the Palace is understood to be "disappointed".'

A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman followed up by saying that discussions with the couple on their decision were 'at an early stage', adding: 'We understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through.'

These morons have one job. That is to act as representatives of the Commonwealth. That means acting nice and proper and traveling, giving speeches, visiting hospitals and such. In return they get to live in the lap of luxury.

What a bunch self-entitled spoiled brats. Kate and William seem to understand their functions. Too bad these other two whiners don’t.

Yep. He could have had any 20 year old he wanted but he chose THAT.

He chose ... Poorly.

Harry is being led around by his zipper. The day will come when he will be sorry he ever met that low-rent douche-bag. . . and I am certainly NOT talking about Her Majesty the Queen.

Chris Watts murdered his entire family over it. Thinking with the little head. Of course being a malignant narcissist with a rather low IQ didn’t help.

Not to be crude but The power of the P has taken down kings, noblemen, military men and the greats throughout history. It’s truly the wildcard of life

How does one resign from royal duties? Even when Edward abdicated, they still set him up as the Duke of Windsor and he served his exile in Bermuda. And if Harry and Meghan are doing this does it mean they are going to be financially independent?

The Bahamas and David had his own money and lots of it; unlike Harry, who has some trust funds. And that Governorship only lasted through WW 11 and was to get David as far away from Hitler ( who had promised to put him back on the throne , with Wallis as Queen , when the Nazis won ) as possible. also BIG difference between David and stupid Harry in other ways.

Harry has turned into a total wimp mess. He is being led around by the nose by the conniving, manipulative, controlling Meghan. He looks like a zombie in all the pics with her. Come on Harry, be a man and stand up for your family and heritage.

Harry has lost his mind and thinks with the wrong head now. This woman is poison and how many men have had to learn the hard way when falling for women like her???

Some (most) millineals refuse to see that there are bad people out there and if you dare say anything about someone like Meghan, they are quick to tell you how bad you are. I know because my daughter and my friends daughters all act like this. Roll their eyes and treat us like we are some kind of idiots. All on their moral high horses.

“He looks like a zombie in all the pics with her.”

Sometimes I watch “Deadly Women” on I.D. Maybe Meghan is spiking his sweet tea or Gatorade with antifreeze and is slowly watching him decline. (They do that, y’know!) LOL!

I thought she may be slipping him some little pills. She’s not a nice person.

that is what is confusing about the response to this; many here have been suggesting getting rid of the monarchy, and now that Harry is trying to get away from it everyone is busting his balls.

Not that Harry and his ‘friend’ are ever going to rule the country, but rumor is Charles is getting to old to take over so the Queen has given it to William and Kate, which in my opinion as an outsider, is an excellent choice...

I don’t like Charles and blondie; and I don’t like Harry because he doesn’t have a spine, not saying that William does but at least William and Kate won’t be an embarrassment to the Royal Family...(Prince Andrew and Epstein)...

As we've discussed, people are missing that Harry and Mee-again poll VERY WELL with young and progressive Brits. While older, traditional Brits loathe this couple, they'll die off over time.

As people age, and hopefully mature, they begin to see things with a different perspective. Meghan appeals to the younger generation because, like AOC (whom she physically resembles) she is a product of the current cultural miasma. Youth culture on steroids, overfeminized society, emotions over logic.

It will be interesting to see if young Brits will later regard her differently. IF they mature. Unfortunately that is the major question about that generation.
