Yes, QE II, with Charles backing her to the hilt, took away his tax payer stipend, staff, patronage positions, and everything else he had, outside of still having a title and being a member of the family, but NO LONGER a “member of THE FIRM”!

It looks like there might even be more to the story:

Yes, Prince Andrew has brought negative attention to the Royals for his friendship with Epstein.

But, also his daughter’s fiancé broke up with the woman who is the mother of his child right before dating the princess:

So... where are the people criticizing Prince Harry for marrying a divorcee?

There are only three reasons that the Brits hate the Duchess:

(1) She’s an American.
(2) Even worse, she’s an American actress.
(3) They wanted to see Harry remain the bachelor bad boy (or at least marry someone who wasn’t American).

It’s not about “race” or divorce or anything else. The Brits have always looked down on Americans.

She would have been welcomed. She was welcomed.

But then she behaved as she did..which furthers their idea of Ugly Americans.

She has refused to join the Firm. Instead she has done everything she can to isolate a mentally hapless halfwit.

What is playing out in the pubic eye is what many families go through. Nothing you can do but wait for the time to pick up the piece

btw, footballer Aaron Rodgers family went through it with an actress.

There was nothing wrong with her behavior.

Her father and half-siblings, however, did behave badly, which did make Americans look pretty bad.

I don’t agree with her or Prince Harry on politics, but the two of them are right in line with many Brits on politics. So, the Brits’ criticism of her can’t be about politics.

Many feel that Prince Andrew’s friendship with Epstein is a much bigger deal than anything regarding Duchess Meghan and that the royal family doesn’t want the negative attention.

Let's see - on the one hand we have a prince who hangs around with a serial pedophile and may himself be guilty of sleeping with underage girls. On the other hand we have a TV actress who angered a lot of women because she married into the royal family. Replace "many" with "anyone with a shred of sanity".

There are rules you are expected to follow when you join The Firm. Meghan has thumbed her nose at them. See if this can make you understand

The Rules
NOVEMBER 18, 2019 BLIND GOSSIP 123 COMMENTS

[Blind Gossip] This male celebrity is in big trouble.

However, he is not alone in his fight.

He definitely has the unflagging support of his family.

You may find it incredibly unfair that his family is supporting him but has not thrown a similar amount of support behind a female member of the family whose behavior has been questionable but not criminal.

We’ve told you before that this is not about gender or race or religion or anything else like that.

This is about loyalty and commitment… protecting the family… and playing by the company rules.

Yes, we said company.

Why?

Because this is not just a family. This is a job.

Uncle Pervy behaved very badly. He is likely a horrific criminal.

When he ran into trouble, he did not whine or complain or try to handle it on his own or throw shade at his family.

He took his family’s counsel, used the family resources, toed the company line. He also specifically referenced his sorrow at having let the firm down.

He knows the rules. He sat down with family counsel and prepared his strategy and did what he was told. They will do everything in their power to defend him, regardless of his guilt or innocence.

Nephew Hapless engaged in some bad behavior a few years ago.

When he ran into trouble, he did not whine or complain or try to handle it on his own or throw shade at his family.

He took his family’s counsel, used the family resources, toed the company line. He also specifically referenced his sorrow at having let the firm down.

His behavior was stupid, but afterward he heeded family counsel and did exactly what he was told. That saved him.

Niece Messy engaged in multiple missteps.

She whined in public, refused the family counsel, hired her own outside legal and publicity resources, thumbed her nose at family customs, and then seemed to throw shade at them for not caring about how she was doing.

She should not be surprised that she is not being supported. She was explicitly told how things work and provided with all the resources and advice anyone could ever need to be successful. She thinks she is more clever than them and can play her own game with her own rules. There is no winning that game.

See the difference?

No matter what you do, the family will rally around you if you follow their long-established rules. If you do not follow their rules, there will be no rally.

You can shout, “That’s not fair!” all you want, but that is the way things are.

That is the way things have always been.

Family and loyalty above all else.

True, in some ways.

Back in the day...royals, aristos, and yes, even just the very wealthy Brits who were thrown into The Tower, had spacious rooms there, were allowed to bring in comfortable furniture, rugs, wall hangings, books, paper, pens, ink, etc. and also had servants with them and brought in their own upscale food and drink...until their executions.

Though there were some aristos who were tortured before they were put to death and disallowed any comforts.

HORSEFEATHERS!

There was EVERYTHING completely and utterly damned dead WRONG with her behavior and DEMANDS, from day one!

Her father did NOTHING wrong at all!

And her 1/2 siblings told the TRUTH about her; but sadly, the BRF ignored it all.

Lots of people believe whatever the gossip columns say.

But, people here on this forum are angry with her over her anti-Trump politics.

If she were a political conservative, I think most here would be rushing to her defense. (The Dems would be screaming about her, then.) ;-)

She 1) is NOT “young” 2) is NOT a good example of an American 3)is actually bringing out lots of anti-American sentiment in the UK and in other parts of the world as well.

Says who? The anonymous sources quoted by the gossip columns? Or maybe the royal experts?

There was everything wrong with her father and half-siblings’ behaviors.

Sparkles' "friends" have sometimes been "anonymous", as when handoutsshe had them leak what was in her ridiculous letter to her father, to VANITY FAIR and PEOPLE. And some of her whatevers...Serena and the Clooneys' for example, have both written and signed their names to articles in papers and magazines, talked to reporters, even been on T.V. interviews praising her/standing up for her/and Serena even LYING for her.

And then there is the illegally used AMERICAN PR Firm, SUNSHINE SACHS ( filled with Clinton workers ) handouts.

But in the main...these two nimrods do it all to themselves; just listen to what they say on their own!

Her father did NOTHING at all wrong; except to spoil her and make her believe that she is "ENTITLED".
