Harry is a full time royal which is his JOB. William would show up at his pretend jobs to get out of doing his royal duties. You know the duties he was born to perform, that he has known about since a young age.

How does William pretending to have a job mean Kate also doesn't have to work as a royal. Today in most marriages both men & women work.

She chased that title for a decade & should have been prepared to work starting right after the Honeymoon. Just silly excuses are all they have done for another decade. What a waste.   :nod:

Harry's numbers are too weak as his full time royal job. More than half a year doing nothing. His 2017 mark should have been close to the POW and his siblings as that is their only job.   William until summer 2017 had the EAAA job (the excuse! and YouGov U.K. pollsters loved him for that.  :shrug:)

Prince Harry takes Meghan Markle to greet Edinburgh locals | Daily Mail Online

This is just brilliant!! In an older day theyd sweep these people aside like they were trash. I remember PP being so out of touch 25 yrs ago to claim the end of poverty in the UK. Harrys mum fought that idea then, glad to see hes fighting the same fight today, just a shame we havent figured it all out by now  :no:

Meghan Markle throws off royal protocol to hug charity worker who gave her this amazing compliment - Mirror Online
Quote
Protocol dictates that royals don't generally hug members of the public.

But Prince Harry's fiancee Meghan Markle has shown time and again she is going to shake things up.

And today was no exception when she broke tradition by sharing a warm embrace with charity co-founder Alice Thompson during her visit to Edinburgh.

The Queen must have told Harry "I will break all protocol's for your Bride if you marry one that can help the Monarchy recover from your Lazy Brother & his wife Kate".

Meghan and Harry are such a Power Couple galore.  Kate's Mother must be on a gin drip seeing her lazy daughter being humiliated on the 'work' front.

QuoteHarry is a full time royal which is his JOB
Just to clarify, it might be assumed that he's a full time royal but he's released no statement declaring that he's giving up his volunteer work and part time royal status since leaving the army.

This video is from a bit later on, inside Holyrood House, which is good as this historic Scottish palace somehow doesn't get shown very often. Meghan has gotten over shaking hands before Harry and darting ahead. They met Nicola Sturgeon and some Scottish youth.

Holyrood is wonderful but I went in the summer. Don't know what the heating is like in the wintertime!

^ And your point is exactly what?
In the last decade or so when members of the British royal family leave one activity ie military service or another career to begin full time royal duties, there is typically an announcement made to the public. We saw this occur with the Wessexes and the Cambridges. At the time of Prince Harry's retirement from the army, he did not state that he was beginning full time royal duties. He did say that he would be involved with volunteer work in addition to his current patronages.  I do expect that there will be another announcement in the coming months to clarify what Harry and Meghan plans regarding their royal duties. Until then I wouldn't state that anything is for certain.

@SophieChloe-  You can read about William's engagements from last week William & Kate's Engagements and the Part Two of their engagements. He had engagements on Feb. 5, 8, and 9th.

One can't really expect an American to know how a Monarchy works but she will catch onto all of it. Whether that is good or bad I shall reserve judgement.

Harry is already doing more than William so an announcement stating something specific means nothing. William announced long ago that he would be a full time working royal & his engagement count went down. And I am stating that with certainty.

No need, her grandmother status is secured.

Harry and Meghan will be the uncle an aunt of tomorrow to what Andrew or Edward are today.

@SophieChloe-  You can read about William's engagements from last week in William and Kate engagements part 2.

In other words, Harry is doing nothing, watching rugby, playing ar Monaco, killing wild boar.  William is working.

William juggled two jobs and fatherhood, Harry is lazy.

All being a Grandma means is you have a Grandchild.

Carole has been training Kate for years to produce an heir & spare or at the very least how to stalk & bag a Prince. To bad for Carole she will be gone before George reaches the Throne.

QuoteWilliam juggled

I agree William is a clown just like his Dad.   :nod:

I cannot imagine how chilly it must be. Hopefully there will be a cozy place for them to stay tonight. As for Meghan, I've seen every royal "break" protocol at some time or another, so I believe that she's going to be just fine.

That's what she sacrificed her daughter for.  I could almost feel sorry for Kate.  Joan Crawford has nothing on Mommie Dearest.

^^^She ain't needing no drip, the one and only grandmother to King George.

Motherhood is natural, it should not be a sacrifice.

Meghan being an American it can be expected. Kate has always broken protocol rules yet she is British. I guess she is a very, very slow learner.

SophieChloe

^^ She sacrificed Kate to William.  Kate earned that title.  Not the "Duchess" one, but the "Waity" one. 

However, back to the Fantastic Duo that is Harry & Meghan.  Cheers!

I disagree. I wouldn't say that he's lazy, but as a member of the "grandchild generation" he's not going to be required to do as much as the heir to the throne/spouse and the Queen's other children and their spouses. IMHO we often forget that Charles, Anne, Andrew, Edward and their spouses were not as busy with their royal engagements early on. It's taken them decades to build up their patronages, to take on military appointments and begin to undertake royal tours on behalf of the monarch. Before the Queen's children began full time royal duties it was QEII, Doe, QEQM, Princess Margaret, the Gloucesters and Kents who were enlisted to take on those activities.
Also the BRF wasn't even performing as many engagements in the 80s and 90s as they are today. Those numbers really started to climb in the 2000s and 2010's.

In time even QEII will not being as active as she is now and we'll see the PoW, DoC, the Cambridges, Harry/Meghan and Charles' siblings taking on more as QEII's elderly cousins begin to reduce their workload. It's to be expected.  :)

So Kate is not a stepford.

At age 36 Meghan should know how to dress,  today she was sweeping the grounds and in stiletto.

Other then, these tours are  fluffy, wave, smile, shake hands, nothing the other royals been there done that.

SophieChloe

I agree the trousers were far too long and dragging on the ground.  However, she is such a natural.  We are lucky to have her.

Harry is about to enter the 3 year mark since leaving the military. Most of his little engagements he has done since have been fluffy, vacationships to Africa, taking away jobs from real Rhino specialists, traveling for picture taking with Chris Jackson lifting a Sentebale brick for 3 seconds. He did not go to the Sentebale Christmas Carole for staffers, which lasted 1 hour of his time, did not go to Heads Together training meeting, 2 hours of his time...whilst his brother and SIL had just arrived from the Scandinavian tour.

Too much excuses for unemployed Harry.

Ask that to the social bite kitchen worker...she told him it looks like fun.  :D was she nervous, couldn't say anything better to the dishwasher boy. Another Meghan article, that would make 8 only in the DM.
