I am curious as to what the Bristish peas feel about leaving Archie in Canada while Meghan and Harry travelled back to Great Britain? I cannot imagine leaving my eight month old son that far away. No way that I could have left my baby that far away. I didn't know that. Nothing's been reported here as far as I'm aware. It sounds a very odd thing to do if true. They surely have no idea at the moment as to how long they will be here. I am doubting the veracity tbh. eta it is correct and Meghan has flown back to Canada.

I just heard someone on the radio (member of the public) say that she thinks this was always Meghan’s plan - distance him from his family, move to the US then divorce him!! I do hope that’s not true. Oh, my! I can't stand her, but even I have a hard time believing this. As you say, I certainly hope it's not the case!

I just saw something that suggests they announced it yesterday because a tabloid was going to leak it.
They can do whatever they want. They just have to be willing to accept whatever consequences there may be due to those choices.

No way that I could have left my baby that far away. I would take what People magazine reports with a pinch of salt. It's nothing but a misinformed gossip rag. Wrong. People works very closely with famous folks. Any information they report, they've been given either directly from the person's publicist. You may be thinking of In Touch.

I just do not understand why they announced on Kate's birthday? Couldn't they have waited a day?

I think that is just a classic "look at this scheming woman" trope (my own inlaws claimed they thought I was going to do that with my husband of now-23 years), so I doubt it.

I’m still sad though, they were a great asset to the monarchy. Totally agree.

Predictable too. I was waiting for your response and you didn’t disappoint pot/kettle. The only time you ever post is some rabid rant whenever a person of color is mentioned. Lots of people seem to be intimidated by that, however I'm not one of them. You're just a one way street with very little traffic. Rabid rant?! You should probably check your posting history before slinging shit. When you talk about Megan it’s very clear what your angle is. Again I find it pretty funny and look forward to what you’ll say. I scanned through the royal wedding thread again just for a chuckle.The Aussie version of Yubon. Easily lol

I'm sure that IF Archie stayed behind in Canada, he is with Meghan's mom. Surely it is acceptable for him to be in his grandmother's care for a few days? They may have even planned the separation as a way to push things along faster, "Gotta get back to the baby!" IF he is in fact still in Canada at all.

It will be interesting how much money they continue to get from the taxpayers and how much they take/accept from PC.
I do feel sorry for Meghan being photographed leaving Canada house with the pit stains. Having a baby can do some weird things to a woman's body.

What I do know is what I have read from People.com about the Royal Family over time and most of it is speculation and inaccurate reporting.

Not sure if it's true but someone said Meghan is on her way back to Canada and Archie already.
Also it's being reported that the Queen has asked that a way to accommodate their wishes be found between the various offices and parties. We will have further announcements within days, it's being said.

It seems he's with a friend of Meghan's and his employed Nanny...if you can believe what you read

All this stress can't be good for her, poor lady. This is shaping up to be another annus horribilis.

No way that I could have left my baby that far away. It never ceases to amaze me just how judgmental women are about how other women choose to raise their children. Does it really matter at all if she did leave her baby in the care of a close family friend, or even her mother? I'm pretty sure there are plenty here who have left their babies in the care of others to go away for either vacation or work.

You often say that about various magazines & newspaper and the last few times what has been reported has turned out to true. Why would they not be right? Everyone has a phone with a camera these days, if people see something it's easy to phone it in to a paper. There is no law against telling someone who was on a plane, if Harry and Meghan get on a flight to the UK, there are going to be multiple people who witness that, pilot/s, cabin crew, ground crew etc etc. They can see if one of them is carrying a baby or not and any one or more of them can tell other people or post it on their own social media page, or tweet it to a paper etc. They probably also had reporters who were following them in Canada, they know who her friends are, if her friend only has 3 kids of her own and suddenly has 4...it's not rocket science.

I wish them well, but announcing this before it had been worked out, AND wanting to keep their revenue the same from Prince Charles, AND wanting to keep Frogmore Cottage(recently renovated for several million) AND wanting their Met police protection makes it sound like they want to have their cake and eat it too.
I hope that they are able to work things out.

I searched for this story earlier and it was only People.com that had a report on it at the time, with the Daily Mail also reporting on it by acknowledging that the report was from the People. I didn't say it was true or not. I commented on what has, my opinion, been reported in the past in People. Stories that could easily be verified by other reports, as being inaccurate. I stand by my opinion that it's a gossip mag that often reports inaccurate information, which is what I said in my original post and mentioned nothing about this particular story.

I can't imagine how the Queen must feel. Her entire life changed because her uncle walked away from his responsibility, and then to see her grandson do the same thing? I’m an American so I’m having trouble understanding this. He’s sixth in line for the throne, right? If the Queen has a grandson doing the same as her uncle, wouldn’t that mean William was the one leaving the fold? If Harry gives up his title is that really the same as a sitting king abdicating the throne? That’s what this comment suggests to me, an uninformed outsider.

I think it is the walking away from one's duties in favor of one's desires that is being compared, not the exact situation.

He makes some very valid point and understands what is going on. Some of what I included in an earlier post. I hadn't thought about the Governor General point though, a sticky one for Canada for sure and a valid observation to add to all the other unanswered questions of how it's all going to pan out.

I had some questions / comments after reading all of the details in the link to People, but I read all of the comments here first, in case it was already addressed. I have to say, there's a whole lot of speculation and judgment here, considering not one person here seems to actually 'know' more than they have read in various media sites. It's a little wild, no matter which side your own. I find it fascinating that as a part of the Royal Rota they are required to give exclusive access and photos - can't even release them themselves in some cases - to tabloids that were then able to sell their photos for profit. Some of the very tabloids that helped contribute to the death of his mother and now attack his wife. I can't imagine living that life.
I appreciate the locals that understand the Monarchy better than the rest of us and are trying to help educate us! It's very interesting. Confusing, but interesting.

That is what makes it so strange.One would have expected others to have reported it too. I don't think it's particularly newsworthy on it's own, especially with the bigger story of what his parents are doing. The only thing that makes it interesting (if true) is that is lets us know that Meghan will be returning to Canada very quickly and potentially starting to live somewhere other than England much sooner than we first thought...otherwise why wouldn't she have just bought the baby back with her? Surely if in the short term they were planning to keep living at Frogmore cottage Archie would have come back with them. It only makes sense if she's saving Archie from having to make two plane trips. No, if he's still there, then she'll be going back there ASAP and starting the "not living in England full-time"" part. It's likely that they've found someone to live already and Meghan will stay there with Archie and perhaps Harry will travel back and forth a bit while the royal "separation" gets sorted out. I don't think they would have made the announcement in the way they did if they weren't ready to act on it immediately.

I am happy that they are going to find a way to be modern royals with more control over their own lives. To me this sounds like a no brainer, and whatever they work out will be helpful to all royals in the generations to come. Yes, sometimes you have to help change along.
I have read so many hateful, critical, entitled comments suggesting that because they received a tiny percentage of their income from the public, that means they are fair game for every possible insult and second guessing of every minute of their lives.
The entire Royal Family costs the taxpayers about one pound per person per year. I’d imagine the amount that went to Meghan and Harry was a few pennies. As far as what Harry has received from his parents, so what? He’s not the first person to inherit from rich parents. I admire what they wish to do with this life of privilege that they acknowledge they have.
As if the comments I have read in the years since M and H got together weren’t enough, the unbelievable things said since the announcement just underscores for me how important it is for them to distance themselves from such a toxic situation.
I expect that when people see the sky will not fall , other Royals will also be able to live slightly more normal lives.
The British Monarchy is an institution with a long and rich history and tradition. But it has changed often over the centuries, and it’s time for some changes again. But I’d like to see it continue. Also, I’ve read that it brings in lots of tourism money, so I’ve never understood the nasty comments from UK taxpayers acting as if the Royals’ very existence were taking food out of their starving kids’ mouths. They are helping the economy much, much more than they are costing. I don’t understand why that is so hard for people to comprehend.

The reports were right. ...but surely she won't just go and pick him up and return to the UK in a few days?...what would have been the point of doing that? The only thing that makes sense is if she's (or they're) planning to stay away from the UK for a little while yet.
