If they had stayed as senior royals they would not have been expected to pay it back.

I have so much respect for them stepping away. Every adult has the right to be in control of his or her own life. Now Harry can do that. Archie's life will be so much better because of this.

Did you even read your own article? they are still royal. They’re still Duke and Duchess, he’s still a prince. They haven’t even been stripped of the highness titles, they just wont use them.
the movements of another country’s royals is among the weirdest things the right has been getting all frothy about lately. is it because Meghan is open in her dislike of donald?

I think it was taken away from them. Just like their demands to have British security were denied.DSamuels wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2020 11:41 amIf they had stayed as senior royals they would not have been expected to pay it back.

Wishful thinking on your part doesn't make something true.

The article says agreement so I would think there was some discussion around it and the couple probably knew to expect some of this before the decision was made.DSamuels wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2020 11:41 amIf they had stayed as senior royals they would not have been expected to pay it back.

I was wondering if they refused and had to be forced to do it since I haven’t kept up with it in detail.

Yes, I did read the article. I used the title that was posted at the time. It’s changed a bit to this now
“Harry, Meghan to quit royal jobs, give up ‘highness’ titles”
It looks like the article has been updated too, but the main points remain the same.
They are no longer considered “senior royals” or “working royals” and no longer represent the queen. I don’t know what good a title you aren’t “allowed” to use anymore is.
I can’t speak for anyone else but I have followed the royal family since Charles and Diana’s engagement and wedding. I didn’t realize only “the right” was following the story. Feel free to find another thread more to your liking.

Duke and Duchess are still royal titles.
It’s not only the right following the story, just only the right that seems to want to trash the couple, Meghan especially.
