The press behave appallingly in this country- and continue to do so. They were clearly heavily involved in what happened, chasing her tthrough tunnels at high speed trying to get photos. Its pathetic. They were clearly culpable in the death imo. Note- I didnt not say "murdered". Because that would be innaccurate and unreasonable. Which is where your attempt at a criticism falls on its illogical arse. |
See my post in a different thread on the government's shameful failure to implement any of the recommendations of the Leveson Inquiry. |  |

I'm struggling to see what they've done wrong here.
I think I'd be fairly peeved if people were filming my family with a drone. |
I wonder what issue the press and sections of the public public might have with Prince Harry and his foreign, non-white wife? [Post edited 24 Jul 2020 10:15]

In every case they are right. They object to piss-taking paps and intrusion, so rather than hypocritically continuing to milk it on one side and object to it on the other- they have removed themselves from teh public life to protect themselves from it. And they are being vilified for that. Not surprising- because the press doubtless object to a cash cow being removed, and take it personally. Quite why the public are buying the press line on it, is beyond me. Though I think there has been a whiff of racism about the whole thing in many quarters. |
I don't blame them at all. Harry watched the press vilify and hound his mother into her grave before hypocritically beatifying her and then watched them trying to do the same to his wife and quite sensibly they said 'f*ck this for a lark'. [Post edited 24 Jul 2020 9:55]

Or, there's some revelations about Andrew due to come out this weekend and so they're chucking them to wolves as human shields again? | |

“...it has been claimed...”
Is not a statement of fact.
Yes they were royals, so some of the money came from the tax payer.
They are no longer royals, so they are paying back that portion back to the tax payer.
If they need security, and they can’t afford it, and their family steps in to pay it, that seems reasonable as well.
Seems to me the actions of Harry and Megan are reasonable, in the context of an anachronistic Royal Family that shouldn’t be part of a modern society.
Would you rather they stayed in the Royal Family and took more tax payer money? |  | | |

I've had a think about this and I've concluded that you'd have to be a bit thick to think that sueing people for trying put you into the media is an attempt at getting INTO the media. [Post edited 24 Jul 2020 13:34]

Yep, they aren't coming out of anything with much credit - just want everything totally on their terms which has never been how it is with the royal family |

It’s amazing that with all these A list Hollywood superstars about they pick on a D list “actress” and the sixth in line to the throne |
What exactly is your issue here? Which part of 'stop following us everywhere with drones, you parasitic c*nts' is unreasonable? | |

Just because you are born into that disgusting nonsense doesnt mean you have to agree with it and want to live it. The royal family should be abolished with immediate effect, it serves no purpose and is a vile throwback |  |

As a general rule, when picking sides if someone is leaving a toxic and controlling environment, don't side with the people they're leaving. | |

Particularly when you've been gutsy enough to be prepared to reveal your vulnerabilities regarding your (ie Harry's) mental health issues. Baffling to me how the way this factor played a big part in H & M's decision to remove themselves is consistently ignored by most people + "the media" (well it's not baffling re the media of course but you know what I mean). |  |

Their family pay for it... but it’s still on the taxpayer. |  |

Realistically once the Queen dies the royal family needed to be streamlined to remove Harry and Meghan from the main part of it anyway as they will then be as relevant as Andrew, Anne and Edward are - i.e. not very. |
You really need to remove Anne from that assessment. She's second only to the Queen in the amount of sheer hard graft she puts in most days of the year, just gets quietly on with it behind the scenes, self effacing & prepared to get her hands dirty. Also respected for her straight talking & enjoyment of a good laff. | |

They are an irrelevance with regards to the Royal Family, and not part of the streamlined view for it that Charles has - it's not a comment on them as individuals.
Ultimately Harry and Meghan get 95% of their funding from Charles, when Charles becomes King the responsibility for divvying that money out goes to William as Prince of Wales - so they need to be doing things off their own back. But they attempted to do so on their terms, rather than the Queen/Prince Charles' terms and have been given short shrift |  |

And that reflects badly on them in what way?
And what is the issue with them taking action about a toddler being filmed by drones on private property? |  |

Not really. Prince Charles’ income is not from tax payer money.
Of course you can argue that he has inherited all the assets from the Duchy of Cromwell, by virtue of birth, and if the Monarchy didn’t exist, those assets should revert to the UK, so it sort of the same thing.
But Prince Charles is a tax payer, and the majority of his income is not tax payer money.
The monarchy of course should be dispensed with, but that is really up to all you subjects to decide, not citizens of a republic.  | | | |

It reflects badly that they were happy to continue coining it in from the state but not continue to do their duties as requested/expected by the head of said state.
And I have said I have no issue with them taking action already on this matter | |

I doubt the marriage will last that long. If they get the privacy they so crave I think Harry’s days are numbered.
I think she needs the media attention, it’s in her Performance DNA, this is the same reason she left our shores, she was convinced she was going to be the biggest star in the Royal show, she wasn’t and could not be in the shadows of others. | | | |

I think they are perfectly entitled to be angry about the drone thing.
We have no idea what went on behind the scenes before they left the country. Maybe the plan on their website was all they thought they could get away with? Perhaps they didn't dare dream of a cleaner break from the royal family; after all he was born into it and and might have believed he had no choice and marrying into it probably isn't great when you've been successful on your own previously. |  |

What is that based on exactly?
I watched all 9 seasons of Suits and didn't like Rachel at all, but she's an actress who I know absolutely nothing about, who could be the nicest woman on the planet or the worst.
She may have married Harry for additional fame, additional wealth or, most likely, because she fell completely in love with him - and you'd have to in order to surrender your life to the circus that is the Royal Family.
On what basis did she think she was going to be the biggest star in a family that already contains the most famous person on the planet? |  |
