Harry (formerly known as prince) and Megan
 
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have arrived at the Invictus Games in the Netherlands, after stopping off to visit the Queen on their way.

It is the first time Prince Harry and Meghan have appeared in Europe in public together since stepping back as senior royals in 2020.

I've got no problem with the Invictus Games, good thing and something 'our harry' can be commended for seeing as he founded the games.

However, the couple still being named as 'The Duke and Duchess of Sussex' royally (sic) pees me off, as does this:

Quote:

The visit to Europe comes as Prince Harry is bringing a court challenge against the UK government's decision to refuse police security during his visits from the US.
Needs to make his mind up if he's part of the 'Family' or just another American celebrity on the circuit.

Opinions may vary, and I'm sure others think he (and her) are absolutely brilliant :erm:

The legal action is to allow him to pay for the security himself…

Quote:

"Prince Harry inherited a security risk at birth, for life. He remains sixth in line to the throne, served two tours of combat duty in Afghanistan, and in recent years his family has been subjected to well-documented neo-Nazi and extremist threats,” the January 2022 statement read. “While his role within the Institution has changed, his profile as a member of the royal family has not. Nor has the threat to him and his family.”

Well the BBC should explain things better then . . . and IMO, he's in more danger from her than anyone with a weapon :D

It’s a common problem on the BBC website out of hours and on bank holidays. Junior reporters and disinterested second-line news editors get the crappy shifts. They’re not the best at what they do in the first place, and couple that with their understandable desire not to be in the office on the weekend and this is what you end up with.

That article is written by someone who has no specialism in royal reporting and no evidence of having been assigned to follow any of the other stories that have been referenced. In fact a good chunk of it is simply hyperlinks to other BBC news stories which the hack in question clearly hasn’t bothered to read properly. Plus there’s that ever-present ‘here’s what we want you to think’ sidebar the BBC always shoves right into the middle of the copy, here written by a member of their foreign reporting staff who thinks she’s spotted her chance to show how great she is at writing royal puff pieces (she isn’t).

I hate it that they are dragging the good name of my county through the dirt. Those titles should be removed from them.

No they are not. They haven't robbed,murdered or cheated anyone unlike some members of the family.

I like Harry and Megan, i have no time for Charles and his bit on the side, William and Kate are utterly cringeworthy.

They lie about everything and I don't like that, so in that respect they are dragging their family and by extension the country through the gutter, I'm no particular fan of their family btw but the lies seem to come from a very dark place, I suspect he's a very unhappy boy

By lying, classics like the Arch Bishop of Canterbury marrying them in secret, Archie not being allowed to be a prince 'coz he's black, that kind of nonsense

You need to stop reading the crappy newspapers that love to write any rubbish about them just to make cash.

I haven't read a newspaper or anything else that isn't in very large print for a couple of years. Are you saying they were married in secret after all and Archie really isn't allowed to be a Prince because he's black?
