Confirmed: Harry and Meghan Permanently Relocate to US

[Dukasaur]

Honestly, who cares if Harry wants to take some independence ?
He was born knowing that he will be raised to become a fifth wheel for the throne... his father prepared all his life for a job, now in his 70s and he still hasn’t started. By the way, could Elisabeth 2 be the longest lasting monarch of all time?
I know that Ramses 2 started in his 20s and died in his early 90s, which is absolutely crazy.
Louis XIV here in France started when he was 8 and died when he was 80 something, but not sure the first years are counted as his mum was the regent

Liz is currently #6 on the list.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest-reigning_monarchs

Her retirement in 18 months is already planned, at which point she will be #4. I think that passing Kaiser Franz Josef was one of her quiet goals.

Louis' record as #1 is safe. Ramesses isn't on the list because the exact dates are unknown and the list only includes those with exact dates known. The best estimates put Ramesses II at somewhere between 65 and 66 years, which would put him in the Top 10 but not the Top 5.

Prince Harry and his MILF wife are moving to "North America" (a euphemism for Trump's America), they announced.

Wrong as usual. Harry and Meghan moving to Canada.

[2dimes]

As they should, they might get titles here. Maybe he can reel in the PM. Bring back beaver hats and get the economy back in line.

Lillibet was pretty popular. I had not heard of her plan to retire. Charles is a wank they are only letting have a turn because they have to. He should follow his great uncle Eddie's example and step aside.

I know it's a farce now days regardless but at least attempt to introduce some dignity back into the institution.

I just can't believe that right now the BBC's top story is 'WILL MEGGIE'S DAD TESTIFY AGAINST HER??', higher up the newsreel pecking order than 'the last decade was the hottest on record' and 'the entire Russian government just resigned'. smh

You can't print facts. It will hurt people's feelings.

If Harry is made Governor-General will he only serve five years or will he serve forever? Will Archie eventually become Governor General? Since Archive is a U.S. citizen this could mark the completion of the union between the USA and Canada that was interrupted in 1812.

I think Canada should just nationalize its monarchy and make Harry the King of Canada.

Archie would be the Crown Prince. Instead of Prince of Wales he could be Prince of Thunder Bay. Instead of living in Clarence House, he could live in a mobile home on cinder blocks. Instead of an equerry from the RAF, he could have a drunk Indian name Li'l JoJo.

They should take over nunuvit.

Who cares? I mean she doesn’t have the power of an olde-tyme monarch.

... as an aside, who cares about the British Monarchy, or any monarchy for that matter?

You all do realize that these people are “Royal” because our ancestors thought that their ancestors were endowed by God Almighty with some special abilities to ‘rule’.

In reality their ancestors were just violent bullies and good at politics, killing, and negotiating... and their ancestors basically just stole stuff from our ancestors. Their ancestors did this long enough, and with enough success, that they were eventually able to convince the local religious leaders (and thereby the local people) that they should be ‘lords’ and eventually ‘kings’.

So because their ancestors were crooks and thieves we now give them titles and money. Kinda ridiculous no?

While engaged in gentlemanly pursuits, many women have described me thusly -

you do realise that statistically, pretty much the entire world population today has royal blood right? If you go as far as you can, and if you take into consideration that being royal gives you better cares than peasants... and all the generations and people that made our own DNA... we are all royals at some degree if you trace your lineage several thousands of years ago... but without going this far, it's quite likely if you go 1000 years ago.

I just think that royal families are some funny out of time stuff. They are here to represent their state over time, not like politics that are here for a few years and serve their short term agendas.
I wouldn't mind having the french royal family back in place for the lulz. Since we don't have one in france, the monaco royal family is the one followed by that sort of press, followed by the british and then other ones like the spanish and such.

that was interresting thanks

[mrswdk]

lol, no way is QEII going to retire. I don't know where you heard that but that's nonsense. No British monarch ever abdicates, except Edward who 'did a Harry' and abdicated for his missus. Quitting is for pussy royal families, like the Dutch or Japanese.

I reckon she'll make it to #3 on that list at least. Getting to #1 is possible, if she manages to hold on till she's like 98-99.

Okay, sorry.

Everybody was talking about it a couple months ago. I thought it was a done deal, but now it turns out that it was just rumours and innuendo.

We all may be cousin’s if you go back far enough... if you go back really far, we might even be direct descendants.

If you go back to the Medieval era we aren’t going to all be direct descendants. Royalty didn’t mix with the nameless masses. They kept to themselves and their ‘class’. Regardless... the point’s still valid. The kings/lords just started out as strongmen, and we’re not much more/not much better than today’s Organized Crime Bosses.

That’s fair enough... in the USA we have celebrities and ”celebrity families” that are similar.... political families too, which aren’t much different than celebrity families, except they use their political power to enrich themselves and not just their ‘fame’.

The difference is we can get tired of a person or a family and they lose their power... whereas Royals get their power from God and the State.

It's actually pretty funny. Prince Charles is so old now that he looks like he could be her husband.

Apologizing for posting in error. I thought the news about the retirement was a done deal, and I didn't fact check it.

[saxitoxin]

Word is now breaking that Harry and Meghan have laid-off all their staff in the UK and the "splitting time" thing is just a smokescreen and that Meghan and Archie "will never visit Britain again."

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/m ... n-21298309

The reasonable conclusion, therefore, is that:

"We're splitting time between the UK and North America." = Living permanently in Canada for one year, followed by splitting time between Canada and the USA for one year after the initial scrutiny dies down, followed by living permanently in the USA by year three

Page Six is already reporting they're house shipping in California and Harry has retained an immigration attorney to guide him through a US citizenship application.

Will President Trump green-light Eurotrash immigration, though?

Well that is the time-honoured tradition of all North American news media outlets.

Well if you go that way.. most european states are not monarchies anymore because people did get bored of them... and in each country there is/are family descendants that have throne claims.

The vain evil drought-causing harlot is headed for North America. Lock up your children!

[saxitoxin]

Harry knew what he was getting into marrying some harlet actress from a trailer trash family. He could probably have married Rebecca Rockefeller. Or if he insisted marrying someone attractive at least go with Katherine Schwarzenneger.

Now the Palace has issued a statement that they've been stripped of their HRH titles. So no more paying for protection, that's Canada's bill now.

Father Of The Year Thomas Merkle has described the couple's decision to move from the UK to Canada as the decision of a pair of 'lost souls':
