Re: Harry and Meghan to step back as senior royals
As long as they’re not gleaming subsistence from the civil list, I don’t care what they do.
Personally, unfortunately, I don’t see a bright future for these two.

To begin with, the mere fact they're(ie she) not planning on retiring into obscurity. If they were, then fair enough, but she's still planning to use his names and titles. She is the one that was desperate for a Hollywood career.

Any proof of that? apart from what the British tabloid press write with their poisonous pens.

It was revealed in December the couple had made an application to trademark their Sussex Royal brand across a string of items including books, calendars, clothing, charitable fundraising, education and social care services.

In June the pair trademarked the Royal Sussex brand, applying it to dozens of items and services from pencil cases to sport activities and education training.
As one of the most famous couples in the world, their brand has the potential to be highly lucrative. Their joint Instagram account @sussexroyal has more than 10 million followers, while Meghan was the most Googled person in the UK in 2018.

Because no one had a clue who she was ....
The fact they think they are "Senior Royals" tells you how self important they [think] they are.
I really dont give a toss what they do, and neither I suspect do a lot of people.

They are senior Royals though. Prince Harry might not be in line to the throne but he is still the Grandson of the Queen, the son of the future King and the brother to the King after that.
Which is why he can't detangle himself from the Royals so easily. There will always be security and PR concerns for whatever it is he does next. I also think there is a problem if he trades on this Royalty in future work, if they seek to become mega celebrities and trade on their connection to the British Monarchy. I am not saying they will but that'll be the concern. The Civil List is nothing really and coming off it to 'become financially independent' is a bit of a cop-out if they're going to start making far more money by being Royalty in America.
It does raise the question of what we are doing to these people though. Trapping them in a role defined for them from birth that they cannot easily extract themselves from.

They are senior royals. The term has meaning in terms of the level of official work they do, but is derived from how close to the line of succession they are.
If they simply “step back” from the level of official work Harry has done in the past they are still senior royals because Harry will be the king’s son, and eventually the king’s brother. The reason this is all so officially shocking is that H&M have tried to circumvent this by starting that they plan to “step back” from being senior royals, not just from the official work of senior royals. Harry has come pretty close to renouncing his titles and claims.

Well we live in Sussex and as far as we're concerned he's not our Duke.

I’m passing-acquainted with my local (not royal, but hereditary) duke and I don’t consider him “mine” either ... neither does he consider himself ours. He gets a “your grace” when the local flower show opens but that’s just the tradition. On the years when he does the formal opening and gets a tub of chocolates as a thank-you he wanders round sharing them out afterwards.
The nobility is to all practical intent a relic in this country. With the single exception of the monarch and immediate family I don’t think anyone with a hereditary or life peerage would expect any formal recognition in any but the most formal of ceremonial circumstances.

Re: Harry and Meghan to step back as senior royals
What really pisses me off is them using our county name to promote all the crap products that they'll pass off across the planet.

You've been reading too many tabloids old chap. They, and the Royal Family are a big yawn. This 'story' dominating the headlines for days demonstrates all that's wrong with this country, we've got our priorities all wrong. Don't blame them tbh, I'm tempted by Canada. The UK is going backwards.

But but but Canada’s not in the EU, and I thought a Canada style free trade agreement was a really bad thing?
And chlorinated chicken.
