Earlier this week, news broke that Prince Harry will lose his honorary military titles as his and Meghan Markle's royal exit becomes permanent. The decision, which was made the Queen and announced by Buckingham Palace, is thought to be a disappointment for Harry, who had reportedly been trying to work out a way to maintain his military titles after the royal exit. Royal insiders worry that if Prince William is given the titles, it will only put more strain on his and Harry's relationship. This week, Buckingham Palace announced that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will officially be removed from their royal patronages and that Harry will be stripped of his remaining honorary military titles in light of the couple's decision to make their royal exit permanent. In it's statement, the Palace explained: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have confirmed to Her Majesty The Queen that they will not be returning as working members of The Royal Family. Following conversations with The Duke, The Queen has written confirming that in stepping away from the work of The Royal Family it is not possible to continue with the responsibilities and duties that come with a life of public service. The honorary military appointments and Royal patronages held by The Duke and Duchess will therefore be returned to Her Majesty, before being redistributed among working members of The Royal Family.

I AM Irish Scottish.....some people get beyond the old past and others never do. Family member visited Ireland last year and loved it there.
By the way, you seem like a reasonable sort, do this.. Google William C.Grace/US Army Surgeons Manual. He wrote that. He was my gg grandfather. Came over from Waterford he did. And uh, it's not the Scots/Irish I'm unkindly disposed. It's the Brits.
I'm neither a strict Anglophobe nor a strict Anglophile.
There are a few Britons I admire, Sir Issac Newton, Churchill. Margaret Thatcher, Neil Farrange and The Fab Four.
