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.'

I heard Prince Andrew is ready to come back on board to help pick up the royal slack just in case Harry skips town and heads off to Canada. /snort

No. They were booted, but allowed to put out to the public that it was their idea. Seems the queen and Charles are revamping the roles of the royal duties. Royals get paid by the queen for their duties and appearances. They also get clothes allowances. Seems Meg has been getting free clothes for advertising for designers. The queen put a stop to that because Megan’s photos were on so many brand websites to sell clothes...which is a huge no-no! She had turned in fake receipts for her wardrobe which totaled 2 million. She didn’t mention she got the clothes for free for advertising. She also tried to sell photos of inside the personal residence of the queen. She bought up dozens of website names prior to getting married to merchandise the royal brand. She was assigned a “ minder” to keep her in her place when around other royals. She was always trying to be photographed close to the queen on the balcony and functions for merchandise photo ops. She was constantly told to let “senior” royalty walk ahead of her. She showed up at Charles garden party event uninvited. Camille promptly ordered her to leave.
There are dozens of other things she has done underhanded.....plus video evidence on YouTube.

She is and has been toxic, toxic, toxic. I fully expect to see Harry in a Hallmark Movie before it’s all over.

This is her third marriage.

God only knows how many other hookups. She was a yacht girl.

I’ll bet Me-again discovered being royal wasn’t as wonderful as she thought it would be and now wants to return to acting, wearing the kind of clothing she wants, and avoid official appearances while enjoying all the perks.
With her taste, returning to acting is the only only way they can be “financially independent”.
Bet there aren’t any more babies either.
Harry but think this over some more. I think he only has four years left as her husband.

You really shouldn't write about a subject you know almost NOTHING at all about and understand less.

Yeah, it's a real hard subject, right up there with quantum mechanics.

Live your own life and worry less about these two total strangers - you'll be healthier for it.

said, "posters, who have less than NO understanding of this unprecedented situation at all!"

Then you go on talk about the Clinton foundation and the Clooneys which obviously has something to do with Harry and Meghan.
I usually like your posts. You feeling ok?

He did not not tell the Queen because his grifter wife told him not to.

After her advisiors, Michelle and Oprah, told her not to.

It is possible that in 15 years, King William will find himself as popular as his Dad, Alfred E. Newman, and popular sentiment will be for Harry and his bride.

That still won't place Harry and Megs any closer to the throne, barring the disastrous deaths of all of William's children. And the odds that she will stay married to Harry for 15 years? Nah.

Surely the royal family has had his dna tested in the 30 years since the rumors started; and if he were not Charles’ son, it would have been dealt with decades ago. Harry is dumb, but not a bastard.

so many Freepers for years have suggesting shutting down the monarchy,Harry actually walks away from it and everyone is busting his balls. Which do you want no monarchy or monarchy?

I think what most civilized people want for one of our most valuable geopolitical allies, if their monarchy is to be dismantled, is an orderly legal process—not a pushy American in-law trying to foment a revolution, repudiate their 1,000-year-old institution and play the race card and wokeness to do it. She's just totally out of line. And he needs years of therapy.

Think of being able to actually walk in those same palaces and such as a tourist.. I’d gladly evict the Royals.. they can move to switzerland or sweden if they still want to retain their Royal ‘air’.

As to Harry, Bravo!!

I think Meghan (and Harry in tow) know they won’t rule the land. But I think they want something “greater” - to be the de facto Royal Couple. Remember when Tony Blair called the late Diana “the People’s Princess”? If they have scores of admirers and psychophants that “outweigh” the REAL Royal Couple, they’d likely be happy....sort of like how Hillary keeps coming back on the scene, how Harry’s late Mother won the hearts of (most of) the Country, and so on. If the youths of today in the U.K. remain supportive of them as they age, they may make it work.

Likelihood that they will age together, still married?

Extremely remote.

I dunno. Liberals seem to have a knack for staying together when it serves them well. Consider our past 10 presidents:

Trump - Divorced
Obama- Not divorced
Dubya-Not divorced
Klinton-Not divorced
Bush the Elder-Not divorced
Reagan-Divorced
Carter-Not divorced
Ford-Not divorced
Nixon-Not divorced
Johnson-Not divorced

Republicans have sported the only two divorcé presidents. In contrast, the Clintons remain married and, depending upon the quantum of tin foil hats in the room, it's amazing the Obamas married in the first place.

Thus, would leftist Meghan and Harry stay married to retain that Power Couple power? Maybe.

He needs years of therapy

having your mom killed when you are 12 in a foreign country with a man other than your father would probably do that. And I agree this is Megans doing; I feel bad for Harry, he is being manipulated by his family or his wife.

I'm sure the DNA tests were done. If Charles is not the father the test results would remain a secret. No reason to have a scandal and make Diana's infidelity public.

Harry would have been told that he would never be king. Harry got so ticked off with the queen and the rest of the royals that he married a twice-married black divorcee. Then he connected with his friends the Clintons and Obamas to start a money making foundation.

I do not believe harry is illegitimate, because his facial bone structure very much resembles Charles' father Phillip at a comparable age.
