  1.  @joleerinehardt2676  Being a member of the Royal family provides privileges but not freedom, if they wish to choose freedom that should be their right but all Royal connections and privileges must be forfeit. To show respect to his family Harry should avoid public exposure as much as possible what Meghan does is her decision to make as agreed with Harry or another divorce is in the offing, somehow I don't think she wants a quiet life.

  2.  @joleerinehardt2676  Unfortunately or not being Royal is more of an anachronism than ever before and will increasingly continue to be the case, personal opinions are incompatible with the job being Royal dictates your life. Meghan had a simpler choice than Harry, being boring and predictable is part of the job description. Meghan possible made the wrong choice if she was ruled by her heart the current situation would not have arIsen. IMO.

  3.  @joleerinehardt2676  It's pointless speculating about what Harry would have done if this or that but if he wishes to renounce his birthright good luck to him, there is precedent for this situation with Edward and Mr's Simpson. A slimmed down Royal family is the best way forward, their continued existence depends on their behaviour and their relevance to the British constitution, on both counts Harry and Meghan have put themselves out of consideration for being Royals. I am too ignorant or haven't given enough thought to what the ending of the Monarchy would entail for our constitution to have an opinion on if it would be desirable.

  4.  @n3385  The Royal family have worked hard at being boring.

  5.  @n3385  Just like the Addams family they're a little dysfunctional and out of synch with the ''normal world'' certainly Diana's death was a strange event and if it was planned most likely the truth of it will come out. The involvement of the Queen even her fore knowledge of things is to my mind extremely unlikely but not impossible and even less likely to be shown.
