I think he jumped ship because of the media with his mother, they pursued her like animals after a kill..

//It's probably because I never read the Daily Mail or listen to Piers Morgan//

Actually neither do I! It came up on screen when I Googled. I just happen to agree with Piers on this occasion. I can't see any reason to feel sorry for Harry. He has a wonderful life ahead of him!

I feel sorry because the media have probably had a large hand in this, and Meghan hasn't been given an easy time of it at all.

He could do as long as they're left in peace to get on with their lives. I doubt that'll happen, but then it wouldn't have happened anyway, so they've lost nothing.

[bednobs]

i would imagine that this vile poison in articles such as the one mentioned is part of the reason they want to go

[retrocop]

Poor old Koo Stark. Compared to Meghan she travelled with a lot less baggage it would appear.

Totally agree with Piers Morgan.

Theyve given two fingers to the royal family & UK in favour as tax exiles. As Ben Brittain's ode:
#Begone dull cur, I prithee begone from me#

Tambo // as tax exiles.//
Where does anyone say that they will be tax exiles? They will be in the UK for 6 months of the year, ergo will still pay tax.

[Zacs-Master]

I don't think anything is cut and dried as to where they will reside, is it?

[dannyk13]

ZM, according to News at Ten, they wish to spend 6 months in North America and 6 months here.

[Zacs-Master]

A wish does not equate a fact.

[dannyk13]

Exactly, so Tambo's reference to them being tax exiles is erroneous.

[Zacs-Master]

And so, therefore, is yours when you said '....ergo will still pay tax'.

[dannyk13]

End of discussion.

[Mamyalynne]

Begone, dull care! I prithee begone from me!

I think at root, its a fairly common family situation when the newest generation want to go off from the close knit group...Does anybody ever see "Wanted Downunder" because it often pops up on there when the oldest generation want the one who want to emigrate to wait and think about it "for a little longer"....also this springs to mind.

So much for a quieter life, this saga will go on and on for a long time !!

It's now been reported that Harry did discuss this with the Queen and she told him not to do anything until he had discussed with his father and brother. He apparently ignored this.

I suspect that there is some issue between William and Harry (or potentially the two wives). This has been reported previously and speculated on.

The timing of the announcement is interesting - the day before the DoC's birthday.

This is of course idle speculation on my part.
