“But I couldn’t quite shake a sense of sadness, too, at the powerful impression that this young family, happy in themselves, is struggling to adapt to life in the spotlight. Can you cope with this, I asked Meghan at the end? I don’t know, her demeanour seemed to suggest, I just don’t know. We are, she said, taking it one day at a time.
As we lifted off for home, I found myself left with a single question: if they can’t cope with this; if it is, as she says, existing not living; what then?”
The closing of Tom Bradby’s article about the documentary and his time spent with Harry and Meghan.
This is my struggle here there is a one part of me that wants them to leave for their own wellbeing and feel that they truly do not need BRF because they can do even bigger things without being held back. The other part of me is saying they should stay because leaving would just give the hateful, jealous, racist, bigots what they want and you should never allowed idiots to have control over you or life.
Leaving tells these people that any time someone joins the family that isn’t apart of the status quo or excels/shine brighter than others they could just repeat what they are doing to Harry and Meghan so that they can get what they want.
I will say that not only do Harry and Meghan have to make some hard choices here but also The Queen and Charles need to ask themselves if they really want to leave the future of the monarchy in the hands of Will, Kate and Andrew. Now we don’t know how the long the Queen has and Charles may not have the longevity of either of his parents. I mean what if in the next five years The Queen, Philip, and Charles die, and Harry and Meghan have departed from the BRF. BRF would be dependent on two lazy brats and a pedophile. That doesn’t sound like good options to me. Then again that family deserves the absolute worst so Will, Kate, and Andrew would be karma.
Also just because I’m seeing a lot of these kinds of posts:
Frustration/disgust ≠ Surprise
A lot of people can and did expect the outcome. We can still roll our eyes at the press release or spin. Those aren’t mutually exclusive. Seeing a lot of reaction to people’s reactions that I think misses that point.
The fact that Prince Andrew can do all the disgusting shit he has done and gets to keep his military appointments and patronages. This has shown me how absurd the royal family is.

“Andrew slept with an underanged girl that was trafficked to him but ‘the biggest scandal’ in British Royal Family would be for ever Charles cheating on Diana. I don’t know but if I have to choose between them, Charles ain’t that bad if you think about it.” - Submitted by Anonymous
“What a lot of Royalists and Republicans need to remember is that the average person doesn’t really care about members of the Royal Family either way. The only person who is unanimously hated is Andrew.” - Submitted by Anonymous
It is most surprising that in October 2021, this pub, just off Charlotte Street in central London, is displaying this sign bearing a portrait of Prince Andrew. Surely there are many other Dukes of York whose portrait could appear? Indeed, stick up a portrait of any distinguished historic military looking bloke and nobody would know it wasn’t a Duke of York. But this one?!
