"""Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quit royal life COMPLETELY: Couple drop HRH titles, will REPAY £2.4m spent on Frogmore Cottage and won't receive any more taxpayers' cash as Queen says they remain 'much loved family members'""" The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are no longer to use their HRH titles and will repay £2.4million of taxpayer's money spent on renovating their Frogmore Cottage home, Buckingham Palace announced tonight, as a Megxit deal was sealed.

The Queen said in a statement: 'Following many months of conversations and more recent discussions, I am pleased that together we have found a constructive and supportive way forward for my grandson and his family. Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved members of my family.

'I recognise the challenges they have experienced as a result of intense scrutiny over the last two years and support their wish for a more independent life.

Good for them.

They have proven themselves to be the most responsible of all the Royal Family.

She got the publicity for her dying career that she wanted. She will dump that dope shortly.


If publicity was her main goal, she’s got it. She was a lower level, or grade B type actress before. Now, she’s one of the most famous and recognized people in the world.

So if she wanted to be famous for being famous, regardless of any tangible achievements in life, she is at that point.

As an American, I have little appetite for royalty. Still, it's sad to see Britannia come apart like this. Here's a handy definition from Wikipedia:

Oikophobia

In his 2004 book England and the Need for Nations, British conservative philosopher Roger Scruton adapted the word to mean "the repudiation of inheritance and home." He argued that it is "a stage through which the adolescent mind normally passes", but that it is a feature of some, typically leftist, political impulses and ideologies which espouse xenophilia, i.e. preference for alien cultures. Scruton uses the term as the antithesis of xenophobia.

How so?

Don't get me wrong -- I'm pretty anti-Royal. It's just that to the Brits, the Royals serve as an important national symbol of unity. They have a function even if it isn't a traditional job. I think serving that function with dignity and professionalism is fulfilling a responsibility.

These two that just quit...I sincerely doubt they're going to get anything approaching "normal" jobs. They'll likely become professional activists of some sort, raising money and getting donations from the rich for their pet causes, and living that lifestyle based on selling their name and "brand"...not exactly responsible "work". Sounds more like pure selfishness to me.

Hopefully they don’t wind up living off of stupid Canadians. I take it we’re already picking up the tab for their security. I think they should hit the Clinton Foundation up for some bling.

To be fair, when one looks at the long game...The next sovereign may very well restore or give them new titles should the couple be want them or be ready. By the time Prince William is king, he and Harry will likely be reconciled...God willing.

In the meantime, I am quite supportive of Meghan/Harry and their sweet little baby, as a FAMILY.

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

- Genesis 2:24

How nice of them to leave William and Kate with the responsibility
of picking up their slack with no extra pay.
William and Kate could earn 4x what these grifters could earn
if they went on their own too.
But Willam and Kate have a sense of duty to their Queen and Country.
The Grifters only have a sense of Duty to themselves.

Megan has her eye on a beautiful 20 million mansion in Canada. Harry has his inheritance from Diana. Harry buys the house for Megan. Megan wants a divorce. Megan gets half the house. The End.

Looks like she might be more of a “working girl” than a working mom.
