    Distraction technique keep the public focused on something totally meaningless instead of the important things that actually affect their lives

    Think people are getting wound about these two effectively resigning from the bits they don't like while making statements like "still supporting the Queen"
    ( for this read keeping our snouts in the trough) and picking and choosing the bits they do like and getting paid. ( financial independence...... eventually)
    If you went to your boss and said i'm stepping back .he/she would show you the way to the job centre, this is what should be done. No free house. No free trips and no money from the civil list. Yes we won't see any benefit in our pocket but it goes to the British sense of fair play and these two don't want to play fair....if ya going GO.

    Harry didn’t apply for a job though, he was born into it. There’s plenty of less senior royals and he wants to be like those. As he’s slipping further and further down the line of succession it makes sense anyway for him to have a role similar to the Queen’s other grandkids. You don’t see Peter Phillips and Lady Louise Windsor in the paper every day, scrutinising their every move do you?

    At the end of the day he will one day be the King's brother, and he's the Queen's Grandson. He can't help that. It would be stupid to put him out on the street and take everything from him, where he could be easily used for blackmail or worse.

    He's done more good for the Royal Family than most other royals. He's done a lot more good for this country than me or you will ever do. They should be applauded for trying to become financially independent, something which many have called for the royal family to be for decades. But stupid chastising the only one that is trying to do so.

    I still think the hate that Harry and (in particular) Meghan get is ridiculous. It all stems from the fact that she's American. It's 2020, people meet partners oversees now. That needs to become more accepted.

    Not the future Kings brother tho, neither did any of them have massive state weddings or 5 mill spent on their accommodation from the civil pot, ye your right he didn't apply but is senior to the others and has benefitted from his senior rating. like I said it won't affect your or my life but opinion seems to be negative towards them, would still get more respect if they just said were off see ya lata..

    The stance of the idiot that is the Home Secretary Priti Patel, in her non commitment to provide security for him beggars belief. This is a high profile royal who has done two tours of duty in Afghanistan, with the Army. He's a prime target for Islamic terrorists. Retired government Ministers get it, so should they. Roy Mason had two armed Special Branch officers for 35 years after retirement.

    She also classified Extinction Rebellion as a terrorist group in Prevent guidance to teachers and others who have a statutory right to report those they suspect are ‘extremist’.

    Have the others had to ensure absolute horrible media coverage with their wife being labelled a monster and slagged off endlessly since the day they married them?
    There's a lot of hangers on in the royal family but prince harry (or William)could ever be called that. The lad fought in Afghanistan for God sake. And not hidden away or anything. He was in the front line fighting for his country. Not for the money but because he wanted to be a good person. He's brought us the invictus games and does so much good work for veterans who our government have conveniently ignored.

    He had to endure the media quite literally killing his mother. Does anyone seriously believe for one minute that his grandmother arranged the killing of her grandkids mother? Because I dont.
    I'll tell you what happened. Scum paparazzi chased her to her death and in order to deflect blame the very same media created a ******** story about a conspiracy. And it worked.

    He's had to endure that same media mocking him and making extremely hurtful comments about him not even being a royal and making up lies about who his dad is despite all the overwhelming evidence that shows this isn't the case.
    He was called thick for only getting average a level results and had his life analysed every single day.l culminating in the frankly racist targeting of his wife.

    If I was him I wouldn't be cutting back my duties I'd be setting fire to the chuffing head office of every national newspaper.

    Having Diana as his Mother unfortunately doesn't make him a minor royal .
    That connection will always keep him in the spotlight .

    He married a foreigner, she’s not white. The daily mail and daily express have been losing their **** ever since.

    Bloke, his wife and kid wants to live a normal life. Chuffing let him get on with it.

    Well I class myself as a Republican and anti royalist but the post above is spot on. I’m only surprised he hasn’t asked some of his Marine mates to take out the scum editors in the Mail, Express, Sun and Telegraph. The garbage they have written about him and his family beggars belief. I do understand they are British ‘newspapers’ and that makes them the lowest of the low, but even so.
    He should stick two fingers up to the Country (though he won’t) and concentrate on the things that matter - his family.

    If I were guessing wildly I’d suggest the monarchy will survive very nicely thank you.

    For me the time to step back was upon his marriage. Could have happened in America. Dont get be wrong I hate the press but they could be living a very nice lifestyle with the money Meghan's earned and that he's been left from his mother.

    The thing is I don't think he wanted to step back in the UK, America or Canada. I think he wanted to carry on the good work he was doing and I think both of them were more than happy to do that. The problem is that the media wouldn't let them. right from the engagement they were at it trying to bring her down and as the wedding got closer their venom got stronger, stopping to new lows paying her dad to pose for fake photos, getting stories from random family members and basically doing everything they could to destroy her.

    I believe it's only after the realisation that they would never be left alone while ever he remained married to a black American that they have realised they need to step back and it's quite telling that they've chosen neutral Canada to do so in.

    She is a person of colour and that in the Eyes of some of our gutter press is the same thing

    The relentless campaign against her by the racist media and lack of support from the other royals makes me ashamed to be British.
