    I don't think Harry ( no balls ) & Meghan bitchface, should be allowed anywhere near the Jubilee celebration.
    I'm old school and they are wokey, self centred, parasites who have expelled their time with her Majesty and the public.

    It certainly won’t be a ‘well aged’ conserve, will it.

    The Royal Family Is Thriving Without Harry and Meghan

    Newsweek


    Few people do polite passive aggression better than we Brits. It's why Meghan and Harry were invited to Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee. At the Service of Thanksgiving at St. Paul's Cathedral on day two of the celebrations, their new place in the pecking order became apparent—they were with the royal equivalent of the B-list, sitting with the daughters of disgraced uncle Prince Andrew, and waiting with the hoi polloi for the star turns of Harry's grandmother, father and brother.

    The crown is all. This past weekend celebrating a woman who, despite her 70 years as our head of state remains an enigma, proved it. During four days of festivities, millions partied. Even die-hards who would prefer a Republic to the dysfunctional, not-terribly-bright family of Germanic extraction we are told to scrape and bow to, shed a tear as the queen shared a cup of tea with Paddington the Bear. They struggled to explain why.

    The crown—something for which people have fought wars over hundreds of years—is a magical symbol of nationhood and patriotism, things we cynical Brits normally shy away from. The weekend's celebrations allowed us to consider that actually we are pretty ok as a country, we do things pretty well; there is beauty in our traditions.

    But the further away from the crown you are, the colder it is, and Prince Harry and Meghan are practically in Siberia. Even among the ardent royalists outside the Cathedral on Friday cheering the arrivals, there were some who booed this former favored pair. How quickly their cachet has fallen.

    Prince Harry was briefly the darling of our nation, the cheeky boy we watched grow up. We cried alongside him when his mother died so tragically young and we felt his pain when he was forced to put on a stiff upper lip as he walked behind his mother's casket.

    When he married Meghan we rejoiced, we genuinely did. This seemed a modern fairy tale story. She symbolized something new; a biracial American who reflected, for the first time, the minorities in our nation.

    Initially, she was seen as an asset. She was full of ideas for doing good and seemed to revel in the public gaze. But it all quickly unraveled.

    While her new in-laws are the most famous people in the land, they also work for us, the people, something Meghan apparently failed to understand, and we don't like being lectured at by people we pay for. Nor do we like to hear moaning from the most privileged in our society.

    Instead, they are meant to represent tradition and class. The Sussexes showed they had neither when they went on television to attack his family at a time his grandfather was dying.

    It's telling that after the first and only time we saw them at the Jubilee, they quickly vanished again from public view, despite their trip costing a reported £160,000 to fly over from Los Angeles on a private jet.

    And it is equally telling that this couple who fled to America, announcing they were doing it to seek privacy (so private that they are doing a Netflix show about their lives), released their first and only photograph of their adorable daughter Lilibet after retreating back across the pond where some people still think they are important.

    It is clear that Meghan appears to see the royal family as an extension of celebrity, while in reality, she and her husband have earned millions from Netflix and Spotify for doing nothing, simply by being extensions of the royal family.

    But as their divide from the crown gets ever wider, their celebrity diminishes. No one is going to be interested in old stories about a slight from William or Kate in a few years; not when we have their cheeky son Louis to take fresh delight in. The spotlight has already moved on.

    Excellent summary.
    When Harry and Meghan married they were universally considered to be the future of the Royal family. Not as direct descendants but as modern, mixed race, mixed marriage Royals.
    They quickly turned that admiration into scorn with their betrayal and attitude.

    It's sad because it was a missed opportunity.

    Harry is now effectively cut off from the royal brand, which he needs for commercial purposes. With an apparently "tell all" book coming out in the autumn, you have to wonder whether, increasingly desperate for money to fund a lavish lifestyle, he will make his living as a middle aged, lounge lizard hawking around royal indiscretions to the highest bidder

    There were reports the publishers were not happy with the drafts of the book, Netflix are not happy there were no pictures or film of Lilibet and the Queen and Spotify are seriously unhappy with their lack of output. It seems all three are beginning to realise they've been sold a pup. Cue 'Oprah 2'...

    The Woke-Markles really are a disgusting self-important couple.

    I find them more pathetic than disgusting, struggling to remain relevant because relevance is now their only means to an income.

    Yes, pathetic too, particularly Harry, but the more I hear of Markle bullying underlings, blanking former friends and those of Harry because they are no use to her, puts her in the disgusting category for me.

    Surprised people are still talking about them. Way more interesting, and important, things going on.
