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. If she wasn't smiling she'd be a bitch, rude, disrespectable or being an "angry black woman." We are well aware of, or should be of the games the paps play by now. It'll be interesting to see how the tough Canadian stalking and harassment laws come into play. Good on the man who cancelled his boat charter when he found out they were paps.

Oh they are further towards Brentwood Bay. That’s a nice area, too. The photographers will quit when the Prime Minister tells them to eff off. I could see him doing that if it got to that point.

For some reason I imagined they were in the Tofino area...don't know why, maybe too remote though. Do you think they will just go if he says so? I doubt they're all Canadian paps but I don't know what your privacy laws are like.

I read that they were from New York and Japan I read this article about how much privacy they can expect on the this BBC link interesting that no paps photos have ever been published in British newspapers before they left here.

At the moment I think they've jumped from the frying pan into the fire and that they are in for a rough ride for quite some time. I've no doubt that we might see far more photos of Archie too than we have up until now.

I doubt they're all Canadian paps but I don't know what your privacy laws are like. I think (I am not famous so don't have first hand experience) in general there isn't usually paparazzi issues in canada like there is in US and UK. I do feel like Meghan and Harry will be a test for our privacy laws like no other though! I live close to the muskoka's which is known as cottage country in ontario and there are a lot of famous people that have cottages (mansions) on the lakes around here. For the most part I think they are totally left alone. When I was a teen I met our prime minister, I was at work at a convenient store and he came in, ordered some french fries at a near by chip stand and talked to us for 15 minutes while he ate his fries. We did get some pictures of us together but he didn't have an entourage that he was travelling with like I imagine Trump or Barack would have.

I think they will have to go if Justin says leave.

It seems Harry and Meghan are going to be barred from using 'Sussex Royal' as their 'label' or for branding merchandise as they no longer want to be royal. I'd be a bit surprised if they hadn't thought of that? I wonder what they'll use as an alternative. The Telegraph

I’m surprised that they thought they’d get away with using Royal at all. I definitely think the Queen has made the right decision.
On an aside note, Catherine and William are becoming more and more likeable every time I see them. It’s really good to see and hear Catherine talking more.

I admit - and I never thought I’d say this - but I am becoming more than a little jaded with these two. What I imagined to be a force for the good and a breath of new life into our monarchy on their marriage, now feels like just a force for themselves and that disappoints me. However, particularly after other events here this week, I do need to remember that I have no real understanding of just how unhappy they may have been and I hope that in time we will see them championing causes in the way we know they are capable, raising profiles and doing good, as in the past.
On another tack, how lovely to see the Countess of Wessex featuring in the media far more than she has and, indeed, Prince Edward too.

You're either a Royal or your not in this case. There are rules and regulations about using the word Royal for everyone else. If they want to be independent then they have to abide by the same rules, otherwise every Tom, Dick or Harry will start using it. I found this interesting too from the link that gar posted. “As part of the process to transition The Duke and Duchess of Sussex into their new chapter - planning has been well underway around the launch of their new non profit organisation. Details will be shared in due course.”There was no reason for him to go abroad to do this, he's already launched other charities/ non profits here and has had the freedom to do so, such as Sanibel and Heads Together ( with Prince William) as well as the patronage he has with a number of other charities/non profits.

Things definitely aren't going the way they expected at the moment. Harry also didn't come out on top with his complaint to the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) about his elephant photos. LINKIn a nutshell, Harry & Meghan posted photos of themselves with elephants, including one where Harry is standing next to an elephant with his hand on it's tusk. Then The Mail on Sunday paper pointed out that these photos were misleading as all of the elephants were either drugged or tethered and the photos were cropped to deliberately exclude those facts. Harry made the complaint to IPSO claiming the paper's report was inaccurate as it claimed he deliberately cropped the photos to mislead the public. However Harry's complaint was rejected by IPSO - they upheld the Mail's point that Harry's pictures were misleading & that Harry "had not explained the circumstances in which the photographs had been taken" Press 1 Harry 0. I won't be surprised if they can't use Sussexroyal - no matter how much the Queen loves her Grandson, I can't see her being on board with monetising the Royal name in this way...because surely that would open the door to any of the other Royals doing the same thing, and then suddenly you've got YorkRoyal (never sweat again!) deodorant. For all of Harry's bitching & moaning about his tough life as a Royal, I think he's in for a shock as to how protected and coddled he really was for all of these years. They're setting themselves up for a miserable life if they plan to complain about and sue everyone who doesn't do things their way. Even the whole Megxit thing, they laid out the terms as they saw them before getting approval from The Queen & Charles and now they're in a position of having to walk them all back.

ahhh, They thought they could get all the financial benefits of using the royal name, but not bother with any obligations that came with it. I've lost any respect for them.

It’s hard to stomach they want “private lives” while they seek public $$$ lives. They just want to pick and choose the fame vs duty it seems.

But do you really think that Harry and Meghan expected to be able to continue to use their Royal titles after effectively turning their back on all of that? I might be wrong, and I'm more than happy for someone to point me to an article (and not one from The Daily Mail ) that implies they were planning to use their titles for monetary gain.

that implies they were planning to use their titles for monetary gain. It's been widely reported: They obviously intended to keep using the word "royal" in a lot of their new ventures. They could have put in an application for some version of "Harry & Meghan" as a trademark but they didn't, it's clear that they planned to leverage "royal" as a part of their money making ventures going forward. But do you really think that Harry and Meghan expected to be able to continue to use their Royal titles after effectively turning their back on all of that? It seems they did - according to this article LINKObviously we are never going to hear it directly from the Queen or Charles, but based on their actions and reports from palace press releases etc, it's not that difficult to read between the lines and extrapolate what the various parties were thinking

This article includes a list from the Intellectual Property Office that includes 100 things they have applied for a trademark for. Some look like legit foundation things (i.e. things to help others) but some do appear to be things that they could sell with their 'Sussex Royal' brand on. So yeah, it does look like they were trading on their Royal Status. (I know nothing about the Sun...I am only linking the first site that shared the government list of what they applied for trademark). www.thesun.co.uk/news/10705651/meghan-markle-prince-harry-trademark-sussex-royal/

Too bad H&M is already and established brand. I think they will be fine and am very excited at the idea they may have bought a house 5-6 blocks from my MIL. Do you think they will answer a knock on the door to borrow a cup of sugar?

There's a bit of an update on the Telegraph today. Key points seem to be that the Sussexes will be welcome to attend higher profile family occasions such as the Queen's birthday parade in June and also that this new arrangement has a one year transition period where both sides can opt to renegotiate depending on how things are panning out.
"They will be welcomed back by the Royal Family at key points throughout the coming year, understood to include the Queen’s Birthday Parade in June as well as a series of final engagements in March.
The Sussexes’ arrangements will be subject to a one-year “transition” period with the Royal Family, running for the financial year and allowing either side to negotiate changes to “ensure the arrangement works for all parties”.
A royal source pointed out there is “no precedent for this new model of working and eventual financial independence”, with details needing to be worked out carefully."
The Queen is to leave the door open for Prince Harry to return to his honorary military roles after a year, it has emerged, as Buckingham Palace announces the Sussexes will undertake a final flurry of engagements before leaving the working Royal Family on March 31st.
"...Those honorary roles, including that of Captain General Royal Marines, will not be filled during a 12-month trial period agreed by the Sussexes and the Royal Family, leaving the door open for him to return.
A palace source said: “The point of the 12-month review is that the family wants the best for them and everyone recognises this is unchartered territory. Rather than do something finite, this is a pragmatic family conversation about what's working and what's perhaps not working.”

I like that about his military roles. There were interviews with some soldiers saying how unhappy they were that he was stepping down. I would have thought that would have been a big wrench for Harry too particularly as The Invictus Games gain momentum and a greater following.

There was a royal reporter on a TV saying that the reason they trademarked so many different items was to prevent others from using Sussex Royal on merchandise. They themselves have no intention of selling Sussex Royal keyrings, bandanas or pyjamas etc!

I agree - I thought that the thought of not supporting his military links would have been one of the hardest things for him.
