I just watched the Meghan Markle video clip again. I do genuinely just want to hug her and let her cry in my boobs. Question to Europeans or people who just know about this...are there ever discussions about advertiser boycotts in the Daily Mail or the Sun? Or whatever channel Piers Morgan blabs his nonsense? Are boycotts a thing in the UK? The entire city of Liverpool boycotted The Sun newspaper after a soccer thing (here is more info www.vice.com/en_uk/article/nz8ez8/liverpool-vs-the-sun-how-the-city-rid-itself-of-the-uks-biggest-paper ) - and it's been like 30 years. So yes they do that!

Exclusive: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take some βfamily timeβ off from November, dividing their time between the US and the UK. It will be Archieβs debut in America where heβs likely to spend his first Thanksgiving. But Christmas will be with the Queen

But Christmas will be with the Queen I hope the break will give them time to reset because I finally saw that Meghan interview clip today and the woman needs a break and to just be able to take care of her baby. Or the cynic in me says something is about to drop and they want to go into hiding. Who knows?

www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2019/10/19/prince-charles-reveals-nearly-cried-prince-william-praised-hard/Prince Charles has revealed he was nearly reduced to tears when Prince William praised his hard work on the Duchy of Cornwall. The Prince of Wales said he was "deeply touched and moved" when he heard his eldest son say he had been thinking about how to maintain the picturesque estate when he was no longer around. He spoke out during a two-part ITV documentary giving a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the Duchy, which covers more than 130,000 acres across 23 counties, to mark his 50th working year as the Duke of Cornwall. Prince Charles said: "It practically reduced me to tears because I suddenly thought just hearing that from him has made the last 50 years worthwhile." He added: "Confronting your own mortality is a very good thing if I may say so - itβs quite good for the soul." Earlier in the programme, Prince William told one of the Duchy's tenants, farmer Mervyn Keeling, that his father had always impressed on him the importance of passing the Duchy down through generations. "Iβve started to think about how I will inherit the Duchy one day and what I do with it," said the Duke of Cambridge

Revealed: Duke and Duchess of Cambridge popped in for tea with a family who live in a hut after meeting them by the side of the road during Pakistan tour the Duchess asked the car they were travelling in to stop so she and William could meet the villagers β and one family promptly invited them to visit their home, a simple hut. Despite raised eyebrows from aides and the Pakistani military, who have been helping to guard Kate and William during the tour, the pair entered the one-room home, accompanied only by a translator. Inside, the family explained to the couple how they live without running water and electricity and are confined to their home for half of the year due to snow and freezing temperatures. The Duchess β a keen photographer who has taken many official pictures of her children β then borrowed a Fujifilm camera from an aide to take pictures of the grandmother, mother and daughter. Describing the encounter, the Duchess said: 'It was fantastic to meet these people living in such a remote place. 'They were so hospitable, offering William and me a cup of tea. 'It was a very special moment. They had no idea who we were, which gave us a chance to see a different side of Pakistan. 'We really enjoyed the day in the mountains and meeting so many of the local people in the Kalash village, [it was] a real privilege to see a different way of life.' www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7592125/Duke-Duchess-Cambridge-popped-tea-family-live-hut.html

I'm late to comment but I love that wedding dress with the ferns for the reason mentioned earlier: I want to see my royalty in things beyond my imagination. They get to dress up constantly, I think they have to make the wedding memorable with something different.

Stuck in Lahore after the royalsβ plane had to turn back in a violent storm, Kate asked to go back to an orphansβ home that the Duchess believes could be a model for many other projects. Frustrated that they were not allowed enough time last Thursday, the Cambridges went back to the SOS Childrenβs Village in Lahore on Friday morning, it can be revealed today. They met some of the young Pakistani βgraduatesβ of the organisation who now mentor 150 or so younger residents. William asked: βCould you tell us a bit about your journey? Where would your life be if you hadnβt found SOS?β www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1193018/Kate-Middleton-pakistan-tour-orphans-royal-news

How much wealth would Harry retain if he stepped away (abdicated?) from any formal royal role?

I think he inherited a not-insignificant amount from Diana- $13M, as well as an βallowanceβ from Charles. Also, given how much Edward retained after he abdicated I think itβs safe to say Harry and Meghan will do just fine financially, no matter what.

Would he then be more involved since Wills kids are so young....

Some quotes from Harry:
RE mental health: "It's constant management... I thought I was out of the woods and then it all came back. Part of this job... means putting on a brave face.
"But for me, there's a lot of stuff that hurts, especially when the majority of it is untrue.
You just need to focus on being real...I will not be bullied into playing a game that killed my mum."
RE the reported rift with William: "Inevitably stuff happens, but we're brothers... I will always be there for him and he will always be there for me.
"We don't see each other as often as we used to, as we're so busy."
