Leaving Themselves Open To Criticism.
After carrying out these non Royal duties; a holiday in Ibiza, staying on Elton Johns yatch in the South of France, a trip to New York to watch a game of tennis and a society wedding in Rome, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have announced they need to take 6 weeks off from Royal duties! I can't see how this news will enthral the taxpayer. It has been said they will spend Christmas with the Queen at Sandringham, we'll see. It will be interesting to see how they spend those 6 weeks while thinking up an excuse not to go to Sandringham.

"What you doing up so early Harry, it's only 5am?" "In work today Meg, got to cut a ribbon and make a speech then shake some hands, should be back about 5pm. How about you?" "Not in work until midday, dress fitting, teeth whitening, hair straightenin

I'm with O_G. If you want the kudos of being a royal, you have to take the stuff that goes with it. Harry has said that he would like to get out of the 'royal' bit. OK, no problem - except why doesn't he do it? He could carry on with his very good work for charities.
I have some (slightly cynical) sympathy for Meghan as a new mum - but in all clear-headedness (and she was a NOT a dewey-eyed 19-yr-old like Diana) she chose her path and has had a fair amount of birth recovery time and has a nanny and staff - unlike virtually every other new mum who is back at work. The job is to fulfil Royal duties and expectations. If you don't want to do it - leave. Very straightforward.
I, sadly, think that Harry may well crack-up over all this.

I commented on both recent threads on this topic and I feel just as I did when I replied on Friday.
//Wealth does not make you any less vulnerable to your emotions and I doubt I could live life in the spotlight without feeling 'not really OK' as she says.
Of course we could say she chose to be in that position but I doubt she expected a fraction of the nastiness.//

As an outsider who's lived here 30 years, I learned early that the British live up to their reputation of tearing down anyone whom they've previously put on a very, very high pedestal. This just another example of that. It really doesn't matter what she...and Harry also for that matter...says or does...she's going to have to walk on coals for the foreseeable future. She's only been a royal for 18 months, while those closest to her have had a lifetime of it. If I recall, Kate also experienced a lot of negative publicity...and she's English!
