The Trouble with Harry
American Thinker.com ^ | April 24, 2020 | Michael Curtis

Posted on 04/24/2020 5:33:04 AM PDT by Kaslin

During this time of COVID-19 the real British monarchy is quiet and isolated. Queen Elizabeth II is in lockdown in Windsor Castle with the Duke of Edinburgh and a reduced household. Prince Charles, 71 years old, who had tested positive for the virus and experienced mild symptoms, is in semi-isolation in his home in Birkhall on the Balmoral estate in Scotland. The bells of Westminster Abbey are silent, and there were no 21-gun salutes on the Queen’s birthday on April 21.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry, still formally Duke of Sussex, who officially left royal life on March 31 together with wife Meghan, still Duchess of Sussex, and son Archie, is searching for a million-dollar home in Malibu, California, or in another expensive suburb of the Los Angeles area. Critics of the Sussex pair had hoped that Harry and Meghan would consign themselves to oblivion for a while. This is not to be, as the pair consider the philosophical question, “Is you is or is you ain’t a Royal?” with their usual wisdom and grace. That wisdom was applied to the British media. They naturally believe that a free press is a cornerstone in any democracy. They add that the power of the press cannot be enjoyed without responsibility, and that salacious gossip boosts advertising revenue. Reporting cannot be based on a lie. They cannot offer themselves up as currency for an economy of “chicken bait and distortion.” The Sussex pair are not the only public figures who try to minimize those who report inconvenient or “fake” news.

"The Trouble with Harry" is an excellent, but little-known Hitchcock dark comedy.

Starring Jerry Mathers, not as The Beaver.

The inbred monarchy needs to go away and people, especially Americans who should know better, need to stop fawning over them.

Did I read that right? Harry gave up his title but Meghan didn't?

Markle isn’t a duchess and Harry isn’t a prince.

How was poor Miss Markle know that Charles wasn’t the father; however, it would appear that these two belong in California along with the rest of the misfits that habituate the USA version of Bollywood.

Harry has the black syph.

Its come in the form of an ideological , leftist, cross eyed, jingoistic Queen who has Trump Derangement syndrome; a wicked witch who is so self centered that she abandoned a life of service to the greatest of living monarch in the world , instead wanting to earn a living by doing political correctness brain washing for children using voice overs.

Harry is a sick, pu$$y whipped pup. He married a loser.

Then Queen Victoria wasn't queen, since there are doubts about who her real father was as well.

Hollywood may deserve Harry and Meghan, but so does the British royal family.

Perhaps, but fawning over a monarchy is better than fawning over a bunch of actors and rock musicians. Some people just want to fawn.

Meghan’s title begins with a “B.”

Compared to previous iterations of silly, collateral royals, Harry and Meghan are average. A hereditary system has lots of room for eccentrics, lunatics, and just-plain goofs.

“Harry is a sick, pu$$y whipped pup. He married a loser.”

For what she’s managed to achieve, Meghan is a lot of things but loser, no. It’s not like Harry didn’t have warning in a royal ancestor who got sucked into a morganatic marriage. Meghan is the second iteration of Wallis Simpson, another American divorcee who charmed a royal right out of his title.

“I won’t put the royal family and the country through THAT again!” would have been a noble thought on Harry’s part.

From leonine combat vet adored by millions of eligible Englishwomen, to royal wuss, is quite a long fall.

It has been proven that the idiot Charles isn’t the father of Harry.

“Prince Charles...is in semi-isolation in his home in Birkhall on the Balmoral estate in Scotland.”

So...Charles is only semi-infected?

I don't think so. It says he is still "formally" the Duke, not "formerly".

The bit that they gave up was the HRH, His Royal Highness and Her Royal Highness. They are still the Duke and Duchess of Suffolk. The same arrangement that applied to King Edward VIII, after he married his American honey. They were the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. I don’t use the HRH either, I am simply the Duke of Leavenworth.
