Thread: Harry and Megan not welcome in Canada?

I wouldnt be fussed if they even moved into my street...

Whats the problem Bob?

This bloke has done tours, works for veterans and is a decent sort of bloke. If he has his own funding, why should we care.

It's not clear what they would be doing. Bludging off the public purse? Princes of England belong in England. As long as they stay in Canada, good luck to them.

Complete BS. They are very welcome here.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry told they're 'not welcome' in Canada

I've been following the whole train-wreck media coverage (I just can't seem to look away). It's an incredibly polarizing situation, so you get bouquets and brickbats from either side depending on what the "journalist" is writing at that exact moment. Feed that into the amplifier of social media and you end up with 10's of thousands of vacuous nitwits trumpeting their opinion as if it's the sole truth (a bit like the climate change debate I suppose).

I suspect provided they aren't a drain on the public purse, they're probably welcome pretty much anywhere. It's the T&Cs surrounding funding their ongoing security that seems to be the major sticking point.

OK. Now I have your attention, my take on it is this. No matter what Harry and Megan do, they will always be regarded by some as the Royal bludger and his social climbing wife. [ not by me]. Harry has " issues ", mostly over the life and death of his Mother , Diana Spencer. Ok. I respect Harry's hopes to be independant, make his own way in the World. I respect Megan, because she is independant, and her own woman. Here's the go. If Harry and Megan want to go to Canada , Harry should renounce his Royalty, and they should go as Harry and Megan Spencer. Just two more immigrants, with no more special treatment than any other immigrant to Canada. Security would be an issue, but Dad should look after that. They would make their mark, because look at their connections. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than see young Harry stand on his own two feet, and once he became Mr Spencer, Megan could demonstrate she married for love, not social status. The beauty about Canada is they could go over the border and be just two people in the crowd,[ well Harry may have to wear a Groucho moustache, but you get my drift] Harry needs this for his mental health and I think the Queen has shown wonderful understanding over the issue. Charles however ….. well he'll get over it. I say again, Prince Harry can stay home. Harry Spencer however, is welcome anytime.

Hi Bob,

I agree with everything that you say.

However - I can’t help but think that Harry and Megan will play on their name/heritage/connections - all which comes from being a royal.

Is Harry going to get a job driving a fork lift?

Or will he do motivational talks?

If he didn’t have his name - would he get a job in the real world?

I highly doubt it....

Me too mate. Sadly. A life of privilege heightens ones expectations, I imagine.

Its not like he needs any more income to live a long and comfortable life...

You may have noticed he also did a couple of tours, he’s a more than capable, hard working individual.

If you think being a continual public figure is a life of privilege you’re fooling yourselves.
