"always said that they ought to appoint them as Governor General of Canada....neat residence in Ottawa....." No way is that egotistical part-time drama teacher and snow-board instructor black-faced Justine Trudy going to let them take the spot-light off HIM.

Yes, just read that Jno. But to be fair it was widely reported that Beatrice encouraged her father to do that shocking interview and then the opposite was reported. Who knows.

I've read that they ''intend'' to take a step back, not that they have already done so.
When, is more of an interest - 5 years time/10 years - who knows?
Have they actually said it ?

//This will no doubt have been discussed with the queen, Charles and William. //

It wasn't. BBC news tonight said the family is 'hurt' not to have been consulted before this announcement was made and apparently the use of the word 'hurt' is unprecedented. They should be ashamed of themselves. There is no excuse.

I’ve heard they’re looking for staff at Pizza Express, Woking.

Harry needs a job ! ,

[emmie]

i must admit its quite surprising, and not to inform the Queen, Prince Charles seems very strange and against palace protocol.

[murraymints]

don't see a future for the marriage myself..... and will they now leave the publicly funded Frogmore House ? protection services and all the privileges behind ?

[youngmafbog]

Good so long as they dont take another penny (or should it now be dime) fro teh public purse. For anything.

MM, was no A-lister. Suits was unknown until DW started porking her.

[emmie]

who on earth is DW... and porking, really.........

[youngmafbog]

I suspect you know.

[emmie]

nope..

[naomi24]

Who's DW?

[Nical]

Daily Wail?

[emmie]

surely not, YMB has made it seem a person not a paper.

[dannyk13]

ymb // Suits was unknown until DW started porking her.//
Ignoring the crudeness of your post,unknown by whom? It was a series that ran for eight years.

[naomi24]

danny, before she met Harry I'd never heard of her - or Suits.

[emmie]

I had heard of the programme, but not her..

[dannyk13]

Naomi, nobody can watch every TV series, but Suits had many fans, including me.

If it prompts Charles/William to seriously re-think the size & role of the monarchy in Britain when their turn comes then I think it will be a good thing. Inherited extreme wealth and privilege will become increasingly unacceptable as the 21st. century progresses.
