To be fair, they filmed the speech themselves and put it on their Instagram site. Oh OK didn't know that as the ones I've seen is the one circulating on face book and it looked like a mobile phone type video. It was someone on their staff apparently.

Ah OK not very professional then was it! You'd expect them to have officially released what he had to say, especially when he including so much praise for the support he's had over the years from the public in Britain.

Can only assume it was deliberate for whatever reason as they obviously know how it works and how it would look.

There are already articles about which neighborhoods in Los Angeles H&M could move to after manbaby leaves. I never knew that Dodi was about to purchase a house in Malibu for Diana before they died. She was looking forward to bringing the boys there. Funnily when Harry was a baby Diana had an astrologer do his chart and it showed Harry living in Los Angeles. Harry should focus on her legacy more now. He's Diana's son. I was wondering if he could create a new charity in N. America with her name or likeness. Would he have to get permission from William? Meghan has stayed in touch with some infant poverty organization on skid row here in Los Angeles. I hope they can bring more attention to the bad homeless problem in LA if they move here.

An American man I know posted an article on Facebook today about them and commented, "Is it wrong of me to hope they pass in a car accident?" I think that if that is how ugly people can be here in the US, than I understand wanting to get the hell out of Dodge. I expect they feel a rush to find an income that doesn't come from his family.

So meghan’s slimeball shithead dirtball “father” put out there that Meghan has cheapened the royal family.
I know exactly how that statement feels, my own “loving” father said that my future job would be as a whore., A cheap whore, said To the neighbors.
With her own family stabbing her , it’s no wonder she wants out.

(from reuters.com) Thomas Markle described the royal family as “one of the greatest long-living institutions ever”, saying that when Meghan married Harry in May 2018 they took an obligation “to be part of the royals and to represent the royals”.
“This is like one of the greatest long-living institutions ever,” he said. “They are destroying it, they are cheapening it, they’re making it shabby ... They are turning it into a Walmart with a crown of it now. It is something that is ridiculous, they shouldn’t be doing this.”
WALMART !?!??! THIS is where I copied and pasted that from: www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-royals-father/meghans-father-accuses-daughter-of-cheapening-uks-royal-family-idUSKBN1ZI0BR

What a loser. He’s probably mad that by stepping back, Meghan and Harry are reducing his opportunities to cash in.

My thoughts exactly although imo he and the half sister (who was on one of our magazine shows the very next day saying M&H were making a big mistake) will no doubt be approached by the press/tv on a regular basis for their comments on just how this is panning out. Of course, whatever M&H do it will be wrong according to these two.

Sadly, there already seems to be a problem with photographers on Vancouver Island for Harry and Meghan They have issued a legal warning to the media over photos they say were taken by photographers hiding in bushes and without their permission and they are apparently alarmed but the press activity where they're based. A picture of Meghan out walking with Archie and their dogs has been printed and oddly she is smiling at the camera it seems. They have also said that there are paparazzi trying to use long lenses to see into the home where they're staying. Not boding well is it, although it's early days. I do hope things quickly settle down.

I do hope things quickly settle down. I didn't think the press would let them go easily and really hope the interest in them dies down.

I wonder what the laws are in Canada re photographing someone, was she in a public place when the photos were taken or on private property?

It certainly not illegal in this country to photograph anyone in a public place and I would be surprised if it is in Canada too or anywhere else for that matter. However hard they try they are not going to control the press in the way they think they can. The more they protest the worse it will be for them.

I do hope things quickly settle down. I'm not surprised, they are the biggest story in the world wide media right now and there's going to be a great deal of interest in what they are doing in their "private lives" I think it was unrealistic of them to think it will get better, I think while in the UK there was probably more control over the press and certainly while living in a royal residence there's not going to be photographers hiding in the bushes with a telephoto lens. Kate learned that the hard way when she was in France, that you cannot assume you are in private just because you are on private property. It does seem odd though that she is smiling. On a lighter note - why is a security guard always on the phone? who are they talking to? His wife? "yep right, bread and milk...no I won't forget" or are they reporting everything that happens on the walk? "the lab just did just a pee, and once the beagle poops we'll be heading back in around 10 mins, over" Or is he just pretending so he doesn't have to talk to the other one?

In Dubai, it’s illegal to take photos of someone in public and share the photos without permission. It’s one of the rules here that expats find different, not necessarily a bad thing.

I have no idea of the laws in Canada but I hope they weren’t naive enough to think they could just ‘disappear’ by moving to another country. There was weirdly, some degree of protection here but now, things don’t look like they’ll quieten down any time soon. Oh Harry, what have you done 🥴

I think I know the general area they live in. They are about 20 minutes away from here. I can't see them shopping for groceries at Thrifty's or going to Canadian Tire for paint any time soon. I sure hope we have decent privacy laws. They aren't living on a gated property it seems and the media can hide in the bushes so easily. It's a nice area they are in.

It was around April last year and I saw it a few different times online, then Buckingham Palace issued a statement saying "any future plans for The Duke and Duchess are speculative at this stage. No decisions have been taken about future roles." Link (if you google there were several places that published stories around April last year) So it seems that word may have already been out about their plans to go and live in another country...maybe they scoped it out when they visited but realized it wouldn't be possible. I recall thinking "that would never work"...

I recall thinking "that would never work"... I think this might be the case. At some point, either at the end of the tour or not long after they returned home, I seem to remember Harry giving a speech about wanting to live somewhere in Africa. He seemed to indicate that it had been considered but would work for safety reasons. I'm on my way out for an appointment and can't do the research now, but perhaps someone else remembers the speech I'm referring to.

I don't find it strange that she was smiling. This is Canada and there was a good chance that every person she passed was saying hello, or good day, or isn't the weather great today eh? I think it would have been very easy to get a photo of her smiling without knowing there was a camera there.

I find it entirely laughable that they thought they could live in North America (be it Canada or the US) and every member of the media would leave them alone. Are they stupid or just naive? At the end of the day, Harry was born into the Royal Family and that doesn't end because he has chosen to give up official royal duties and live elsewhere.
