LordAdam16:


I'm not sure what you mean by that sentence in bold.

Harry was raised a royal to further the interests of the same institution that had offered him innumerable privileges. If he chose to start a family with a woman who doesn't buy into that generational way of life. That's solely his business. The British crown will remain long after Meghan and Harry are gone.

henryobinna:


I wonder why you folks like to force your opinion and choice on people. If William wants he would have done same.

Must everyone be a rebel?


This Harry guy is just being controlled by his divorcee wife. I hope she doesn't divorce him the moment he wants to take control of his life.

midnighter:


If you observe the press coverage concerning their relationship, you will understand what that sentence means.

I'm not referring to their flouting rules or royal protocol. I'm talking about the bullying and haranguing nature of particular elements who want him to remain "fun, silly, happy-go-lucky prince Harry" for the rest of his life, following his elder brother and sister-in-law everywhere like a dog without having a life or mind of his own.

If youve been paying attention to prince Harry in particular before now you will know that that dude has been chafing under the royal stuff for a long time.

Maybe Meghan helped him realise it, but he already had doubts about staying in it for the rest of his life.

Their actual behaviour as regards the throne and British crown wasn't what I was talking about.

LordAdam16:


Well, it just so happened that when he decided to "have a life or mind of his own," he chose to have it with a woman who also had no problem flouting rules or royal protocol. That sounds like double jeopardy.

GraGra247:


Oh! you admitted she was even once divorced. Now is that not bad enough? Does that not prove my point. Is that the kind of person fit for a prince that has the whole world of the best of the best of single successful women that aren't manipulative at his beck and call.

midnighter:


This discussion is about to come full circle; If you read my original comment I only pointed out that it's likely that other royals would also like to throw in the towel. You've already chosen to frame my original comment from a place of bias, which you then sized upon to segue into what is actually biting you, which is the behaviour of that "strident woman".

Comparisons with Mrs Simpson have already been made but I am ambivalent because Simpson was white. And princess Margaret was deliberately controversial, as in she totally lost it.

Anyway you have a point in pointing out his duty. I'm a traditionalist to some extent but my own Issue was just the way they had been treated. He is no longer anywhere near inheriting the throne so it seemed pointless to keep collecting insults over nothing.

henryobinna:
if you must inherit the throne you must abide by the rules set for the throne. The throne of every Kingdom is not a place every Tom, dick and harry(unintentional) can just walk into because he thinks deserves it. If the throne demands a pure breed then so be it. For the sake of love, emotion and other personal things you can marry whoever you want but you can't just get into any office that you want.

Good luck with their lives but I hope she doesn't divorce him once again as she did previously.
I bet she can't wait to go back to her life that's why he's doing all her biddings

midnighter:


Exactly so why is their decision paining you?

Everybody can see that Harry craved adventure but was lacking in direction which is why he kept misbehaving. You just cant stand to see a lady who can give him those things.

Her divorced status has nothing to do with the matter at hand but you keep bringing it up because you are sentimental.

You want him to be trapped in that dilapidated palace, chewing nonsense salad and squirming in wooden chairs for the rest of his life, but he wont! Sorry sweetheart

LordAdam16:


Margaret was not deliberately controversial.

GraGra247:


Dear penniful man that has it all yet foolish enough to join penniless people on nairaland.

Did the royal family marry for prince Harry. Was it not clear that many among the royals were not comfortable with his choice but had no say in his decision.

Penniless thinking from you there.

pocohantas:
Bad news for Alpha Males.

I hope omo.koginimi won't overdose on red pills out of anger

I actually do respect their decision. People think it is easy living your life according to some laid down rules, it is not. Harry should be about the 6th in line, which will probably not get to him till death- except every other person before him decides to do what he just did.

So, why should he live in bondage till DEATH?

They should go hustle, make a name for themselves and enjoy life without unnecessary Royal rules and regulations.

Barzinime:
Then Prince Harry is a beta male right? cos he choose to marry the person he felt most comfortable with?
He got balls for going against the royals, not some of you that will bring a girl home and say my folks dont like her and be disturbing us here.
The girl of your wildest dreams can only dream about dating Harry and in all your infinite wisdom, how many big girls have you dated?
Alpha my ass.
Wont even reply your kindagain. Clown(Pennywise).

Ashley86400:

So? Because he's a Prince we should not hear word. Do you know his history? He's done more bleeped up things than her- dressed as a nazi, danced naked ,he's kissed a man before ,in front of camera.
No one is perfect. Get a life.

GraGra247:


You need to get a life if you think being imperfect is an excuse to do things wrong the more.

Ashley86400:

Is the prince complaining?
Why are you getting headache for someone else's problem?
Bitterment.

GraGra247:


Mumu, are you the prince. When you quoted me, was I complaining to you?

midnighter:


If you don't call hard partying with rock stars being deliberately controversial then I don't know how to answer you.

I didn't say that he was or wasn't naive or that he was blameless, I said that the ire being directed their way is not (totally) warranted. I think I said this already.

That's exactly one of the reasons why they have almost no political power anymore; because it's not given on merit. I'm not really a royalist either but I recognise their cultural importance.

The prince Andrew stuff is a false equivalence because Ive already clarified that I wasn't advocating for them to misbehave. You are battling a strawman.

I want to see what privileges they want and what work they still plan to do before I pass any judgement on it. It may work, it may not but the point is that the people who caused the problem are the ones still complaining.

GraGra247:
Prince Harry allowed a small girl to hijack his brain.

A two time divorcee for that matter.


What a disappointment. He should join her as junior actor in the Suits series since he's a sissy.

Ashley86400:

You're an idiot.
Stupid moralistic bastard that doesn't even follow the rules of morality.
Continue howling at the moon.
Bitter Bastard
Quote me again and silence will greet you at your utmost stupidity.

LordAdam16:
It's enough to describe her behavior as controversial. Deliberately controversial implies she did it for a reason other than that being her nature.

Kayyy:
Copied from a quote on daily mail by Dr Danger Mousette

'The reason people are so angry is that taxpayers got fleeced to pay for a wedding (20 M), Frogmore renovations (3 M), a baby shower (350 K) and a six week holiday (god knows how much). Then as soon as they've swiped the cash, H&M announce that they don't want to do the hard work royal bit but instead keep the titles and associated benefits. All without having the decency to inform the Queen. That's why people are angry.'
