Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to ‘step back’ as senior members of the Royal Family |

Ever since it was announced that Prince Harry was dating Meghan Markle, he has slowly been hinting that he was going to go his separate way from the Royal Family. This has been especially obvious since his son, Archie, was born in March. Today, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made it official.
After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution. We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen.
It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment.
We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages.
This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.
We look forward to sharing the full details of this exciting next step in due course, as we continue to collaborate with Her Majesty The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and all relevant parties. Until then, please accept our deepest thanks for your continued support.” – The Duke and Duchess of Sussex
What is the point of becoming a princess if you are going to walk away from it all? Actually, Princess Diana would be very proud of her son. I think this is what she would have wanted her for both of her boys. If she had lived long enough to raise them. Which is probably why Prince Harry wants to live as just Harry.
Does this mean Markle can start acting again? They are going to need money to live and that is the only job she knows.
UPDATE: Several Royal Reporters, including ITV’s Chris Ship, are reporting that neither the Queen of England nor Prince Charles knew that Harry was going to release his statement today. Therefore, Queen Elizabeth’s people responded by saying, “Discussions with The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at an early stage. We understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through.”
This just got even more shocking.

Queen Elizabeth and her three heirs |

Queen Elizabeth is 93 years old and she has no plans on retiring. Therefore, her son, Prince Charles, her grandson Prince William, and her great-grandson, Prince George, patiently wait until they can say that they are King of England. Until then, they will just have to make pudding. When I say they, I mean, the 6-year-old. Hey, the youngest heir to the throne has to earn his title.

Meghan Markle says people don’t ask her if she is OK! |

In the last three years, Meghan Markle went from an American actress in Canada to marrying a British Prince in England. That is a lot for anyone to handle.
Ever since we found out that she was dating Prince Harry, we have not heard that much for her. We have seen her, but we have not really heard her. This Sunday on ITV in England and Wednesday on ABC in America, she gets very candid about her new life with Tom Bradby.
He wanted to know how the pressure of being the Duchess of Sussex is affecting her. Tears started to back up her eyes and she told him, “Any woman, especially when they’re pregnant, you’re really vulnerable. So that was made really challenging and then when you have a newborn…especially as a woman, it’s really, it’s a lot. So you add this on top of just trying to be a new mum or trying to be a newlywed.” She took a pause and added, “Thank you for asking because not many people have asked if I’m ok. But it’s a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes.”
With that, he wanted to know if her perceived fairytale life is a struggle. She responded with one word and that word is, “Yes.”
Watching her answer his questions made me really sorry for her. She is living a fantasy many women dreamed of since we were little girls. I guess, you can say, living the reality of a dream is far from perfect. It is still great, but there are evil stepmothers all over the place. And I am not referring to Camilla, you know since she is Prince Harry’s stepmother.
In Meghan’s case, the evil person seems to be her dad. Unlike in the Princess stories where the father is always the good guy.
Hopefully, people will lay off her of her for a bit so that she and Harry can live the happily ever after those books always ended with.

Princess Charlotte started school today! |

Princess Charlotte is getting to be such a big girl that today she joined her big brother Prince George at Thomas’s Battersea. The two kids were taken to their first day at school together by their parents. Kate Middleton held her daughter’s hand as the 4-year-old nervously entered the building. After she was inside, her father told Daily Mail’s Rebecca English and the other Royal press that his daughter is excited to start school today.
I bet you she will be the most popular person in her class by the end of the day. Not because she is a literal princess, it’s because she is full of so much personality. Who wouldn’t want to be her friend?

Prince William and Kate Middleton fly a budget airline |

For the last few weeks, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been bashed for taking private jets for a few vacations. Today, when Prince William, Kate Middleton and their three children traveled from London to Scotland to visit the Queen and Prince Phillip, they took a budget airline. According to Daily Express, FlyBe flights from Norwich to Aberdeen cost around £73.05. Assuming that Prince Louis flew for free, they paid about £300 for the trip. Which is not bad.
Did anyone know they were onboard? The paper say the passengers had no idea until they got off. The Cambridges sat in the front of the plane and appearantly snuck on unnoticed.
Their gesture means that the next time his brother travels with his wife and their son, they will have to fly like commoners too. I wonder which Kensington Royal is more upset about that? The Duchess of Sussex at least is used to it, since she has not even been a royal for 2 years.
