Ya know, this isn’t a first right? This has happened before, except it was a King, not a prince that walked away.I don't care about this stuff, so I challenged myself to read a bit about it, just to get me out of my comfort zone and try to understand why other people give a sh-t about it.
It is really kinda tragic.
Meghan Markle disowned most of her own family...and now she's basically achieved the same with her hubby's. Way to go punkin. You've destroyed your pathway to become what essentially amounts to the next Diana, because a bunch of bad-teeth Brits wouldn't bestow a title (!) on your precious Archie. You're going to be 40, squeezed out a couple pups, and Hollywood is not going to employ you in anything useful again. You've got to rely on Netflix and Orca to supply the ongoing revenue for your 24/7 security detail, and hope that will last you the rest of your life. If American hairdressers named Tiffany ever stop caring about you, well...50 years is a _long_ time to be retired.
Harry, for his part, had a life of military service in Britain, leading him right into what would appear to be a well-deserved royal sinecure, and the Brits had a mostly positive view of him. He would have been the "good" and heroic Prince, next to William, and he and his family would have been on the Royal Welfare Plan for life. They were positioned to inherit half of an estimated 88 Billion (yes, that's with a "B") estate. He would have had to teach Meghan to curtsy for a few more years, to land the deal. Now that's all trashed, by the efforts of his old lady, and he looks like a schmuck. And he'll probably be living Obama-style with his mother-in-law all up under him, to boot. In a strange land, where his wife with her B-movie bio is more popular than he is, and nobody cares about him...cut off from his own family.
I predicted bad things for Kanye when he got mixed up the Kar-trash-ians. It would havve been nice if, before this Oprah thing happened, he could have pried Harry loose from kitchen duty for one weekend, taken him to Vegas, got him drunk and dropped some truth on him. This 'merica, baby. Harry just purchased himself a one-way, non-refundable ticket to irrelevance, and I think he's going to be lonelier in Santa Barbara, eventually, than he's ever been in his life.
Personally, in today’s age, I think Harry and Markle are probably going to make a mint.
And honestly, shouldn’t we be patting Markle on the back? I mean she’s done what we’ve been doing since the 18th century... giving the crown grief.
