Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would have to RENOUNCE their royal titles if they want to move to...

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will have to 'renounce their royal privileges ' ahead of any planned move to South Africa, a royal expert has suggested.

The Duke, 35, and Duchess of Sussex, 38, voiced their desires to live in the country on ITV's Harry & Meghan: An African Journey, which aired on Sunday and charted the pair's ten-day tour in South Africa.

However royal correspondent Victoria Arbiter told the New Zealand talk show Breakfast that there are a number of reasons a move to South Africa cannot occur while the couple remain members of the royal family.

Questioning whether the British or South African taxpayer would fund their security, she added that showing 'favouritism' to one Commonwealth nation would not be fulfilling their 'responsibility' to the Queen.

'That’s just not going to be OK unless, of course, they renounce all of their royal privileges, their royal titles, everything to do with their life as a member of the royal family', she said. 'I don’t see that happening, either.'

The British papers have taken to calling her Princess Pushy.

The Pussy-Whipped Prince!

Meghan Markle is your classic narcissist. She wants everything HER way. And with Princess Harry she will try to get it.

When it suits her need for attention she will divorce Harry and trash the Royal Family.

Book it Dan-O!

Or they could just get a “vacation home” they happen to spend a lot of time in.

David was made GOVERNOR of the Bahamas; RSA has no such post.

And the cringe and the gringe are incapable of doing ANY real job; nor would they take it!

I don’t think that is legally possible.

Even with the change of succession law allowing Charlotte to be Queen if born first..she still couldn’t have inherited the Duchy of Cornwall purse. Goes to first born son

Sorry but calling BS. This whole article is premised on a completely illogical speculation by a “royal correspondent>”

What the heck is a “royal correspondent”?

They can’t move to one part of the Queen’s realm because that would be showing “favoritism”? That’s ludicrous. If they live in London are they showing favoritism against Cornwall? Do they have to keep moving around the entire British Empire continuously? What if they stay in one city longer than another?

Why on God’s green earth would anyone want to move to South Africa these days?

You are literally taking your life in your hands.

He was more protected, in that "combat zone", than wee Al Gore was in Nam, when he went there as a "photographer"!

Harry did less than NOTHING when he was in the military. He FAILED the helicopter pilot test FOUR times and never got that accreditation and no, he didn't "fly Apaches" either.

Yeah, Wills or George will get the farm. MEghan probably wouldn’t let Harry get too close to the animals or the dirt there. If she were smart, she’d at least pose for pictures like Moo obamy did in the garden to promote her almost vegetarian diet since her cookbook pretty much failed.

Surprised Harry still had enough guts to defy her orders about hunting last Christmas. What’s the odds on him hunting this year?

Read between the lines. If they do this, they will be living amongst the masses of a country full of racial strife with lots of fame and visibility but, alas, no security. They would instantly shoot to the top of every "next celebrity to die" predictions list.

The message has been sent; they will not do this.

If Harry has any functioning intellect at this point, he might want to be appointed to some BFO position in Western Canada, in that case [MM in SA].

Or, maybe MM could drag Harry off to Wakanda, and save everybody a lot of bother, except for any given depressed paparazzo.

That was all PR as royal watchers have come to learn. Do you really think that idiot can operate an Apache helicopter? Do you really think he was in any danger in Afghanistan? NO WAY.

So is Catherine. She and William are doing a fabulous time representing the Queen and The UK. Meghan needs to take lessons from Catherine.

The Houses of Parliament have changed the rules, for the members of the BRF, so yes, IF Charlotte had been born before George, she would get the Duchy.

Re Cornwall...looking to the future, Charles was trying to get hapless Harry to help...NOW. Harry couldn't have cared less if he tried.

Yesterday the DM has a nice article about it all and how Wills is now stepping up. Go read it.

You're completely missing the point!

All Royals...ALL OF THEM, live the way they do at the suffrage of the ruler. There ARE laws that govern what they do, go, and get paid or not.

Sparkles is a bloody control freak and narcissist, who truly believes that she and ONLY she knows "best". Hapless Harry is a eunuch; her whipping boy,her slave, and emissary to open all doors, litter and other ones, for her.

And she is dumber than 3 week old roadkill!

She HATES the Queen, she HATES Balmoral, she HATES hunting, and she HATES the vast majority of Brits who make her lavish life possible. She also hates, hates, hates, HATES her own family and at least 63 million Americans!

If, BIG if, the Suckarses deign to go to Balmoral for Christmas, she'll just throw more hissy fits and demand to leave early...yet again.
