Megan and Harry eschew Royal duties - Possible move to Canada?

[Fore Warned]

Seems the Queen is not amused by this surprise departure.

Prince Harry and his wife, former American actress Meghan Markle, recently shocked the world by saying they are stepping back from their senior roles in the British Royal family.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex on Wednesday January 8th announced on Instagram that they are stepping back from their royal duties due to the high pressure they are facing under the media spotlight.

All of this is major news in a country already overwrought with its own Brexit separation anxiety.

What to make of all of this?

To boot, some are saying that the couple may set up residence in Canada, but since they plan on making a go of it on there own, finding affordable housing in Toronto could be tough and force then to move to Barrie instead.

Meh. He’s 6th in line. Probably told them he’ll come back when he’s second or something. Lol

We would welcome them here.

Have read that she has been the constant victim of racially driven comments from the British Tabloids and on Social Media. Perhaps they just want that to stop and get away from all the negativity?

Make them King and Queen of Canada (our own Monarchy) and finally separate from the British one

[bl8d]

it was that or the Brexit Nunnery.lol

No, we desperately need some injection of class in Canada and their marriage encapsulates the epitome of diversity we like to preach.

It sounds like Chuckles and Liz found out about this thru social media rather than face to face? That can't be right.

It's quite a dramatic decision to make. I hadn't realized how much the circumstances of his mom's death might have haunted him as he and Meghan stepped up and into the spotlight. I can see how he might just say "that is not happening again. Not to us."

I don't think they will find this goes all that easily.

Maybe someone should send Harry a link to our "Crazy Real Estate Market" thread.

He may get some valuable intel and save a few bucks by looking for a private deal.

I second that motion.

Third that. Why does anyone care about that family?

[AdiosAmigo]

As long as we arent on the hook for their security i dont care.

I second that motion.
