Because The British Royal Family

[Nobu]

The LAPD will provide its standard celebrity protection level to the couple just fine. Unless they plan on roughing it apart from the thousands of other celebrities of fame and wealth in the area.

No idea where these Canadian papers fall in the scheme of things, but they don't seem too thrilled with the couple.

The Times is British. The Sun is conservative, but columnists and editors do have varied opinions. As I said earlier, there isn't really much interest here as far as I can tell.

 

If they want to live near her family and work, why shouldn't they?

Is it true Prince Charles recovered from COVID-19 in four days?

No.

So is the UK going to fund Harry and Meghan's security?

[DB]

I should say "no, he had mild symptoms and self-isolated for seven further days."

The question of Prince Harry's security isn't even a news item here. Americans seem to think of the kind of circus that follows the current President around when they think of security details, but I don't believe that royals generally merit more than a couple of officers when not performing any civic duty, so I suppose that would mean 8 in total if there was a 4 shift system in place.

 

There would be police on site at any civic event as the royals attract the need for crowd control measures. The main residences will have much larger security details, I suppose.

 

As noted above, the print news media and Harry have a poor relationship, predating Meghan, due in part to his outspoken and (frankly, quite valid) opinion as to how his mother was treated by them, and subsequently how his mobile phone messages were "hacked".

 

Specifically, Harry is (or has been) suing the owners of the Mirror and also the Sun over the phone hacking.

 

Meghan is separately suing the Mail on Sunday for what is effectively its ongoing relationship with her father, who appears to be a piece of work, too.

Ah, that explains a lot. The Mirror and Sun are left newspapers? Not as left as the Gruniad but still left? Or are they just trash tabloids?

[Stuart Galbraith]

The Mirror is vaguely left leaning, the Sun is actually right wing. And both are trash tabloids.

 

His mum could fund her own protection detail, so can they. I really dont know why so much is being made of it, they arent even Royals anymore.

Hmm, wasn't there a kerfuffle at one point where Americans decided once and for all not to foot the bill for British royals (or ex-royals)? I'm pretty sure I read about that.

Nobody is surprised at all. She must die. Then some Soviet photo editors have to be hired, to remove her from history, Stalin style.

I feel that may be going rather futher than im comfortable with....

Locked up in the tower at her Majesty's pleasure, so she can cascade her long locks from the tower Rapunzel style? Well im not going to write angry twitter missives about it....

Yeah, that sums it up for me.

The British people for the most part ignore the Royal Family. They always have. Even back when George III was on the throne, attitudes were near identical to now, even the ridiculing in the press. They expressed sadness at his 'illness', and some empathy. But most of the time people really didnt give a damn about them. Which is why I think there will be supreme indifference to this too. Particularly in a period when people have more important things to worry about.

Someone on CNN said it rather well, they said Markle married into the Royal Family, without realising it was less a family than an insitution. Although if thats so, its implying something less than favourable about her intelligence.

The media have been comparing it to Diana divorce and subsequent interview, which it isnt really. As far as the media spectacle is concerned, its far closer to uncle Edward and the clueless American divorcee. They both even like Hugo Boss uniforms!

[TonyE]

Prince Harry is just an expensive and fragile high status addition to Markles accessory wardrobe, he'll be replaced when he wears out.

[Stuart Galbraith]

My thoughts exactly.

Accordingly to the last husband, he only discovered she wanted a divorce when he received an envelope with her rings in. Speaks volumes really.
