    Well, well ! We might see how/if that works .... I also know that G/parents have no legal right to Access of a g/child, and there have been many attempts to sort this out, but no luck so far.
    We have friends who are suffering b/c of this and have not seen their g/son in 7 years. When I was teaching there were always g/parents at the railings during playtime, hoping to catch a glimpse of their g/children. It's all so very sad and messy.
    Regards

    Victoria, it is reported, supposedly coming from close friends, that her ultimate intention is to move to back to L.A. , but has stated not until Trump is no longer in office.... In the meantime Canada appears to be only a convenience in this ongoing saga.

    Having seen what the media did to his mother I have some level of sympathy with him.
    He does not want his wife to suffer the same, and with the media as it is today that could easily happen.

    But freedom, no matter who you are should be there if you wish it.

    It could end up as another Charles/Diana saga, who knows.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    I'm curious as to why there are calls for him to give up his titles. There are literally thousands of "titled" individuals the breadth of the country who perform no public duties and otherwise contribute little if anything, yet there is no suggestion they should be made to give them up.
    We have peers of the realm convicted of crimes and yet they somehow retain their titles (Archer etc).
    Not forgetting all the naughty stuff "Prince" Andrew has got upto and yet he's still a Prince,a Duke, an Earl and a Baron. He's stepped back from Royal duties for the forseeable future (amid considerable scandal), yet he's still being financed by the public purse.
    Where are the outraged social media posts and newspaper hysteria about that? It all seems to have been conveniently forgotten.

    Harry wants to give his family at least a chance of a reasonable life without the media circus which killed his mother and which has hounded him all his life - good luck to them, because I'd do exactly the same.

    When Harry and his wife and child emigrate to Canada, I trust they will go through the same procedure as I did; the main part of which was be able to prove that he has work and will be an asset to society.
    From what I read there seems to be several other avenues through which he and his wife can achieve this, one of them being the fact that his wife worked for some years as an actress in Toronto for goodness sake!
    One of the things that convinced me that Canada would be a good country to bring my wife and children to was the Canadian attitude of ‘Hail fellow well met’ with no regard to who and what you might be. The past forty-eight years have proven me right and I’ve met many immigrants of different origins who I’ve treated the same way.
    It seems that the Sussex’s (there are no titles in Canada) wish to settle in Vancouver Island having visited a luxury estate owned by a secretive millionaire, good for them. Vancouver Island has a mild year-round climate, far better that than the east coast of this vast country but no matter what, I trust they will receive and respond as I did to “Hail fellow well met

    All very noble, I wish them as much independence and privacy as they seem to desire, as long as they do it without the public purse and the grace and favour homes. Yes I am a royalist, well for the present incumbent anyway, the successors we will have to wait and see, but I have a feeling that the present incumbent will outlive my aged body.

    Couldn't agree more Jim, Far to many leaches that should be made redundant, I have the greatest respect for H.M. Queen Elizabeth, The work she does for this country at her age I think is quite remarkable and yes she generates a lot of revenue for this country, As for the Duke's and Earls and other hangers on I think there may be a long awaited shake up kick the bloody lot out of there land and free accommodation we owe them nothing at all Terry.

    I am very sceptical about who is actually behind all this ' wanting out ' and I must admit to believing that it is not Harry. They have not been ' hounded by the media ' you only have to look at the way Diana and for that matter Camilla were treated by the Media, now that was being hounded. It was stated that Harry is ' conflicted ' about it all and that indicates to me that he may well have been given some kind of ultimatum by a certain American Actress and has been unwillingly forced into all this. Her leaving him to face the ' music ' here in England is not, in my opinion the action of a loving sharing partner, no, its more of a ' you get it all settled, then come and join me ' attitude. In my opinion also the birth of baby Archie was a smart move and a further reason to anchor him by his love of the child into the relationship.


    Personally I would like to see them stripped of the Duke and Duchess Title which Harry does not need but that Harry would retain the HRH. That would certainly but her in her place as purely Mrs Wales, then we would see what that did to her ego.


    I have a very great admiration for our lovely Queen who as far as I am concerned has been a wonderful, hard working and positive Monarch. The rest of the Family have given her a hard time with their affairs and divorces but she has never wavered from her duties. She does not need this at this time in her life or reign and one would have thought that had there been any thought or respect for her, that Harry would have waited until she ceased to be Queen before pursuing this so called quest. Perhaps in the knowledge that Archie could be taken into the custody of the Sovereign when Charles becomes King, the American Actress is behind it all, who knows.

    A lot of poison there being expressed towards an individual when you (and I) know absolutely nothing of the circumstances beyond what's "reported" in the press.
    If you don't think she's being hounded then cast your eye towards the pages of the Mail and Telegraph. The tabloids appear to be remarkably reticent in comparison.
    Harry has never been comfortable with the media spotlight and their actions, something that has been well known long before his wife appeared on the scene. As any parent knows, your priorities and outlook on life changes dramatically when you have a child - I see little beyond that here.

    Why punish Harry when Andrew is still living on the public purse (as he has done all his life) and in his "grace and favour" home?
