Harry and Meghan - OP updated with Threadbanned Users 4/5/21

thankfully not, but it's common sense really to be sure he is happy given the life he has now which is a reasonably good life v his life as a working member of the rf which dispite all the trappings really isn't all that.

It's worth remembering that they both proposed splitting their time between the UK and North America and staying on as part time working Royals. That's despite all the alleged racism as well. In addition Harry said he was sad at having to step down when that proposal didn't fly. I'd say they wanted a similar gig as Eugenie i.e. forging some career path based on their interests but still linked to the BRF via patronages and charities. My guess is that it was the prospect of, and intention of them branding the Royals (SussexRoyal) and making some endorsement and appearance money via such links is what irked the more conservative types in the monarchy, that it would be setting a precedent, jumping on a slippery slope etc. I think Harry may well have a resting sad face because he might feel manipulated by Meghan’s suicide ideation. Like you'd do for any suicidal loved one, you remove them from a situation fuelling such ideation i.e. a press which turned on them and the fishbowl like life as a Royal. Harry then subsequently removed Meghan from that life as despite his sadness at stepping down, it was the right thing to do. No one right minded would disbelieve Meghan suggesting she struggled mentally. However, the penny dropped for many in the Oprah PR rehabilitation driven interview with Meghan’s spiel about HR being unhelpful and the suits in the monarchy saying she can't get help because "it wouldn't look good". I'm sure Harry is aware of his own openness regarding his mental health with the clincher being the idea of two future Kings also being open and honest about their mental health struggles. That skewered Meghan’s reasoning and struck me as victim playing. Couple that with the "unfortunate lapse of memory" court findings or the pulling at heart strings calculation regarding her father and I'd say Harry grasps that he's involved with someone very manipulative but is of the resigned attitude that he made his bed and over the past two years he just radiates unease as he sleeps in it. He may well be pondering if his own heart strings were being pulled at.

Can’t face family as he knows what he’s written about them in his book.

interesting in his statement that he hopes to visit his grandmother soon - he didn’t say ‘family’, or mention his father and brother.

It can’t be easy to go pretend with family you’ve fallen out with.

I don’t like him, but I think he made the harder decision by not going, just for the sake of going.

the daily mail automatically gives him headlines no matter what so if headlines is what he wants then he is getting them because the daily mail can't let go that they lost what was to be a big money maker for them.

no he was definitely right to get the hell out regardless of what consequences that may bring because it will be better for him in the long run.

This doesn't make any sense to me. Since the Oprah interview the British tabloid press have been given more reason to report sensational stories concerning M&H than they ever could have wished for. Where are the sensational front page stories for Prince Andrew and Kate. No, none. All the tabloid press can report of them them is what Kate is wearing. It is controversies the tabloid press relish, which is exactly what Harry and Kate have given them.

the british tabloid press had been reporting on meghan and harry long before the interview, mainly how meghan was aweful because reasons.

with them remaining in the UK there would have been more ability for the tabloidds to get stories and all else but with them being outside it and the RF it is more difficult hence them scraping anything they can together and throwing the toys out of the pram.

Surely you realise that a royal family event isn't the same as dinner at grandma's? You can't just drop in uninvited, and there will be sufficient security to escort you from the premises if you try.

He might not want to attend, he might not have been invited, or maybe Meghan was excluded, but Harry can't just rock up to events whenever he feels like it. I doubt many senior members of the royal family can, nevermind one that's walked away.

the invitation process for close members would in all likely hood be different to everyone else.

it's you who mentioned him simply walking up to the queen, i never mentioned that at all so there is nothing for me to understand.
