Harry and Meghan to stand down

[EssexSue]

Breaking news.

Not surprised really, been on the cards

Humor an American unfamiliar with royals...what does this really mean? Does it mean they are taking temporary time out of the spotlight to raise a family...and at some point in the future they may return? Or is this a permanent move...no givebacks?

How big of a deal is this news, actually? Not being cheeky... I honestly have no idea over here.

The best for all sides!

Wish I'd put money on it a year ago. Always been the long term plan.

Good for them!

William is being lined up for his role as king, and is life is mapped out for him and his family, and IMV that leaves Harry at a bit of a loose end.

Him and Meghan are clearly besotted with each other and their baby and given the amount of hate directed towards her I'm not surprised he wants to take her to live somewhere a lot more liberal - ie Canada.

I don't think they really fit into the royal lifestyle any more - and if they want to do their own thing and be self sufficient why shouldn't they try?

Lots of families spread around the world - especially when a "foreigner" marries into that family - so I dont think its as unusual as it seems.

i wish them well

Shame they didn’t decide this before a fortune was spent on their wedding and new home.

She got the prince, the lavish wedding, the amazing home, beautiful baby but didn't want his family and their way of life, it was on the cards the minute he put a ring on it. there is a lot going on that we aren't privy to, definitely issues between him and William as Harry broached the subject in the documentary that he and Megan did, I'm guessing she is homesick and doesn't fit in here, Harry is besotted with her and would go to the end of the moon for her, todays news is no big surprise .
I feel quite sad about it but mainly because it appears that the two brothers are drifting apart .
I just hope that Harry and Megan get their Happy Ever After .

I think it’s deeper than homesickness Linda. The cynic in me feels that this move is another attention seeking stunt. She moans about intrusion but is always speaking to the press, don’t see Kate doing that. She knew what she was getting into and I think she enjoys playing the victim. I think Harry is genuine
I know my view will upset a few but there you go!

Here,here! I couldn’t agree more. There may well be other things going on that we are not aware of too. I read she had to have extra security when announced she was pregnant and who knows what else. Good luck to them
