Harry and Meghan quit the firm and move to Toronto...

Post by Montegriffo » Thu Jan 09, 2020 7:21 am

...well not quite.
They have released a statement saying that they intend to step back from their royal role and split their time between the UK and North America.
They hope to ''become more financially independent'' and carve out ''a progressive new role'' in the royal family.

Lots of speculation as to their reasons, a reported rift between Harry and William and negative coverage in the right-wing press being the most popular guesses doing the rounds.

Good for them, good for UK taxpayers and good for Smitty's missus who must be delighted...

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

So basically they don't know why and are taking a shot in the dark. British tabloids need to step their game up, get better guesses.

Bryony Gordon, a Daily Telegraph journalist who knows and has interviewed the couple, suggested their decision could be linked to their mental health, after becoming a "punching bag" for a "misogynistic and racist" nation.

In 2017, Ms Gordon interviewed the prince for her Mad World podcast in which he revealed he sought counselling while struggling in his late 20s to cope with the death of his mother.

Speaking to Emma Barnett on BBC 5 Live, she said: "Here is a man who everyday has to live out the trauma that he experienced as a little boy when he had to walk behind her coffin at the age of 12 in front of the world, and I think if any of us were put in that situation we would find it incredibly triggering."

She added the couple had become a "punching bag for a nation that is still sort of deeply misogynistic and racist" and they were "entitled" to "do what is best" for their family's mental health.

She believes the couple will carry on exactly as before "but just for free", as they're "sick of the scrutiny" that comes with taking public money.

The racist/sexist angle is the dumbest shit ever, the british press can't help but see things through an SJW lens. Sibling rivalry is their best theory, and that one sucks too.

The media speculates when not in full possession of the facts - who knew?

They could at least have better speculation that isn't filled with SJW bias at every turn. Muh mental health, muh racist/sexism, lulz.

Sibling rivalry is the best they have? Absolute Bollocks speculation, clearly british tabloids have an unearned reputation for being the kings of speculation, pitiful.

The racist/sexist angle is the dumbest shit ever, the british press can't help but see things through an SJW lens.
The Daily Telegraph is a staunchly Conservative paper. Often known as the Torygraph.
Well done for jumping in blind, speculating wildly and getting your ''SJW'' buzzword in so quickly though.

If the best your staunch conservative paper can come up with is SJW talking points about racism/sexism and mental health, that just proves my point. Sibling rivalry sounds lame too, but at least their isn't some lame social justice angle involved in that, if that is all they can come up with, they are just throwing shit against the wall hoping something sticks.
