The Royal Family lost its second only superstar monarch when Elizabeth II died.
Philip, like Albert, was a fitting consort.
Charles is a shadow of, and a flawed and observably less intelligent person than, his mum — hemmed in though she was by the expectations, and establishment fossils, of a bygone era.
It seems that the Princess Royal has absorbed much of her mother’s sense of duty as she takes over so many ‘Royal duties’ that would normally be undertaken by the King and Queen.
William, now in middle age, hasn’t so far impressed as a future monarch material. But 40-year old Harry has left his mark on many ex-service peoples lives. What other living Royal has so positively and noticeably impacted others?
I like Harry. I have been amused by his reported antics. I believe it would be a positive if he could once again be attracted back into the fold of the UK promotion team…

William was limited by his position. He was not allowed to be on active duty as Harry was and needed to be a steady hand on the tiller and not a tosspot like Harry.
Harry couldn’t find a wife that would put up with being a royal so he found a gold digger wife .
She persuaded him that they didn’t need to work with the royal family to be royal .
He believed her.

I liked the queen, I don't like Charles very much and the thought of him being replaced by William in a few years will I think do very little for the future of the monarchy in this country. Harry was without a doubt a huge favourite as far the public were concerned, but he has made so many mistakes. If he came back to the UK on his own I think his reputation could possibly be salvaged.
The worst thing he ever did was getting mixed up with Markle. But as far as she is concerned, it put her on a global stage, it made her. She is an attention seeker who must always be the centre of attention which is why she hates it in this country, she knows if she and Harry came back to this country she would always be playing second fiddle, and for queen Meghan that would never do.

Princess Meghan will not be coming back - she is not going to swap Montecito for a wet Tuesday afternoon in Middlesborough small talking with bores from the local Council.
Harry is obviously unhappy with the lifestyle he has chosen - so it is either stand by the wife or do something productive with your life.
The choice is his.

To be fair, it's hard to blame William and Harry for brawling with each other. It isn't like their father is any better with him brawling with Andrew. From what I can tell it's only the wife that's trying to hold it all together. A true real life soap opera. Anyway, I'm for the Monarch, the Crown and all that, but damn, we really need a better Royal family.

Meghan is not a gold digger Bentley, she was a multi millionaire actress before she met him.
Whatever mistakes she may have made, she earned her money herself.
.............
And yes, brawling and arguing is what brothers do.
I have a brother as well.

The problem with the monarchy the siblings of future King and Queens become jealous, Princess Margaret was the same with Queens, Prince Andrew was the same with Prince Charles, and Harry with William.
One of Harry's big gripes is he was treated differently than William when they grew up, which has left some sort of mental scaring, the same with any family if a sibling is treated more favourably than another, however I think William and Kate fully realise this problem, hence they visibly make sure all their children are treated equally, and I imagine they have made this clear with staff, and I think both Charlotte and Louis will have major royal roles and will not be made to feel like a spare.

She was a B list actress on a US tv series . |

She had an annual salary of $450,000.
She already saved up millions in the bank meaning she didn't need Harry's cash. She was getting $50k per episode as a b list actress.

And as I said, a millionaire. Different perspectives.
Lets agree to disagree.

I remember reading or hearing somewhere that Monaco's Prince Rainier didn't like Grace Kelly's (his wife) acting and Hollywood career referred to after their marriage.
Perhaps royalty don't like being upstaged by professionals...
